Business Overview We believe that the future of audio technology is in wireless devices and that Summit is well positioned to deliver best-in-class immersive wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next generation home entertainment systems. We currently sell modules which wirelessly transmit and receive audio directly to speakers. Additionally, we plan to license our proprietary software technology, currently embedded in our wireless modules, to other companies who can then embed our technology into other Wi-Fi enabled smart devices. The segment of the wireless audio market that Summit focuses on is comprised of scalable multichannel solutions with levels of latency that are low enough to synchronize with video. The term multichannel refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to reconstruct a sound field using multiple speakers. As part of the effort to grow the wireless multichannel home audio segment, Summit was a founding member of the WiSA Association, an association dedicated to providing industry leadership and consumer choice through interoperability testing between brands. There are currently over 70 brands participating in the WiSA Association. Products certified and marked with a WiSA Association logo have been tested to interoperate. This preserves consumer choice by enabling consumers to choose different wireless transmitting products across different brands where audio is decoded with speakers that have the WiSA Association logo displayed. Our marketing strategy focuses on, what we believe, are two emerging wireless audio market needs: better audio quality and lower signal latency. Summit currently sells custom semiconductor chips and wireless modules to a growing list of consumer electronics customers, including major brands in the consumer electronic industry. We believe that a growing adoption of our technology by leaders in this industry will revolutionize the way people experience media content through their mobile devices, televisions (“TVs”), game consoles and personal computers (“PCs”). Our Business Focus Our primary business focus is to enable mainstream consumers and audio enthusiasts to experience high quality wireless audio. We intend to continue selling our proprietary wireless modules to consumer electronics companies while also expanding our focus to implement a lower cost solution by porting our software onto commercially available internet of things (“IoT”) modules with integrated Wi-Fi technology. Industry Background The primary growth segments for in home entertainment have been “Bluetooth” stereo accessories which include single speakers, headsets, and more recently, “multi-room” stereo speakers that use your home’s Wi-Fi network to stream audio throughout the house. The information contained in or accessible through the foregoing website is not part of this Report and is for informational purposes only. Our Technology Our technology addresses some of the main issues that we perceive are hindering the growth of the home theater: complexity of installation and cost. We believe that consumers want to experience theater quality surround sound from the comfort of their homes. However, wired home theater systems often require expensive audio-visual (“AV”) receivers to decode the audio stream, leaving the consumer with the burden of concealing the wires. Hiring a professional to hide the wires into the walls or floor is invasive, complicated, costly and time consuming. Further, people who rent as opposed to own their home may not be able to install these systems as the installation construction needed may not be permitted under a lease agreement. Our first-generation wireless technology addresses these problems by transmitting wireless audio to each speaker at Blu-ray quality (uncompressed 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz sample rates) and emphasizing ease of setup. To our knowledge, Summit’s custom chips and modules technology is one of the only technologies available today that can stream up to eight (8) separate wireless audio channels with low latency, removing lip-sync issues between the audio and video sources. In addition, every speaker within a system that utilizes our technology can be synchronized to less than one microsecond, thus eliminating phase distortion between speakers. Summit’s first-generation technology shows that wireless home theater systems are viable home audio solutions for the average consumer and audio enthusiast alike. Summit is currently developing certain proprietary software for which patent applications have been submitted that we believe will allow us to enable smart devices that have Wi-Fi and video media to deliver surround sound audio. A prototype version of our software technology has been demonstrated to select customers (pursuant to confidentiality agreements) at the Consumer Electronics Show 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our goal is to commercialize a software based-solution, which other brands can integrate into their devices, that will (i) reduce integration costs for mass market use, (ii) utilize Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity, making it easy to integrate into today’s high volume, low cost systems on a chip (“SOC”) and modules, (iii) provide a low power consumption option to allow for use in battery powered devices, and (iv) provide compatibility with popular consumer electronic operating systems. 2 WiSA Association Our wholly-owned subsidiary, WiSA, LLC, operates the WiSA Association, which is an association comprised of brands, manufacturers, and influencers within the consumer electronics industry, all of which agree that a standardized method of interoperability between wireless audio components should exist, and most of which believe that products should be brought to market with this goal in mind. The WiSA Association creates, maintains and manages specifications for wireless interoperability that are available to all association members. For products with a WiSA Association certification, the WiSA Association also creates, maintains and manages testing criteria and specifications for all products to be listed, marketed and sold. WiSA-certification is an industrywide “stamp of approval” certifying that a product is interoperable with other products in the WiSA ecosystem and has passed several high-performance tests ensuring interoperability and wireless performance standards are met. As the sole owner of WiSA, LLC, we certify all WiSA Association products. LG Electronics introduced two premium model lines, OLED and Nanocell TVs, as WiSA Ready TM TVs in 2019 and has continued the feature in their 2020 TVs. The Company expects three to four additional TV brands to be marketing WiSA projects in 2021. In 2018, the Company introduced the WiSA Ready TM certification. The WiSA Ready TM certification identifies entertainment sources – such as TVs, gaming systems or computers – that are equipped to deliver up to eight (8) channels of HD audio to WiSA-certified speakers when connected with a WiSA Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) transmitter. This program simplifies consumer set-up and reduces costs by replacing AV receivers or wireless hubs with a low-cost USB accessory. We believe that using WiSA Ready TM products allows consumers to more simply and conveniently enjoy wireless multi-channel sound, eliminating the clutter, wires and complicated installs generally required to create immersive audio experiences. Currently, WiSA-certified products are required to use Summit modules in order to meet the standards set by the WiSA Association. As a result, WiSA Association members purchase modules from us in order to build their products to meet such standards. Among WiSA-certified products, consumers will be able to outfit their home entertainment system with WiSA-certified speakers and components from any participating vendor with the assurance that the devices will interoperate and provide high quality wireless HD surround sound. The WiSA Association manages logo usage and trademark guidelines, investigates alternative markets, connects brands to manufacturing resources, and, we believe, provides industry leadership in solving the challenges facing the home theater and commercial markets in the integration of wireless audio technology. WiSA Association has dramatically increased consumer awareness, as measured by web traffic through their website. There were 365,000 web visits in 2020, representing an increase of 339,000 from 26,000 visits in 2019. The WiSA Association utilizes Google analytics to identify and measure unique user web traffic. Modules Summit has designed wireless modules that provide high performance wireless audio for our customers to integrate into their products, such as a speaker, TV, media hubs and USB or HDMI dongles. These modules include our custom semiconductors with our intellectual property (“IP”) built in as well as a Wi-Fi radio for communications. By designing and selling these modules, we can reduce our customers’ design expense, accelerate their time-to-market cycle, and reduce the cost of each module. Summit offers both a “TX” module to transmit the audio from a host device like a media hub, TV or dongle to WiSA-enabled speakers and an “RX” model for speakers that receive the wireless audio signal and processes it for audio play out. Modules for Consumer Products Summit’s TX modules are targeted for integration into TVs, AV receivers, media hubs and USB or HDMI dongles. Summit’s transmitter, with its integrated antenna, is designed to support rooms as large as 10-meters by 10-meters with uncompressed, 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz sample rate. The module supports a simple interface, with Inter-IC Sound (“I2S”) or USB audio and control. In addition, Summit’s technology has been approved by Digital Content Protection, LLC, the licensing agency for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, as an audio-only output technology for retransmission of audio content. Summit’s receiver interfaces to a digital amplifier and is designed to be integrated directly into a home theater speaker. The four (4) printed circuit board (PCB) antennas simplify system integration while providing robust reception of 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz sample rates virtually anywhere within a 10-meter by 10-meter space. It supports one or two separate audio outputs via I2S. An optional interface on the receiver module can be enabled to configure the speaker type and provide volume/mute control at the speaker. Alternatively, the speaker type can be assigned at the factory for preconfigured Home Theater in a Box applications. 3 The Summit Opportunity We believe that the following attributes: cost, mobility, video support, ease of installation and quality create a market opportunity for Summit’s technologies to be adopted by the consumer electronics industry as described further below. Cost We believe that the simplicity and cost structure of our current WiSA USB transmitter and upcoming embedded software solution will make our prices competitive for a wider range of applications, allowing consumer electronics companies to integrate our technology, while also delivering high quality audio. Mobility Mobile devices are popular for streaming video, gaming and using virtual reality applications. We believe that this is driving a need for an embedded high-fidelity wireless solution in the mobile device that can transmit audio to headsets or speakers within a room. Summit’s technology enables high quality wireless audio transmission from mobile devices. Video Support Wireless audio capable of supporting video has become a priority for consumers across a variety of high-volume multimedia platforms, including TV’s, smartphones, game consoles and set-top boxes. Video applications require audio and video to be perfectly synchronized in order to avoid lip-sync and speaker audio phase distortion issues. Summit’s technology prioritizes low latency and synchronization to less than one microsecond, thus practically eliminating phase distortion between speakers. Ease of Installation We believe that the home theater market has moved toward simplicity in recent years. The costly and inconvenient home theaters of the past have left consumers with a desire for audio systems that provide a simplified installation process. We believe that new audio systems, including the predominant sound bar system, are unable to provide high levels of performance, especially in the surround-sound market. Summit’s technology greatly simplifies the installation process of true surround-sound systems. This allows consumers to install a home theater system with the same amount of effort as a sound bar, but enjoy a far superior experience. We believe that an overwhelming majority of the content entering consumers’ homes through digital TV and streaming services is provided in a multi-channel format, which is why Summit’s goal is to facilitate enjoyment of true surround sound for both the everyday consumer and audio enthusiast. In addition to easy installation, Summit modules provide consumers with a multitude of options, allowing customization of a home theater specific to each consumer, without being forced to stick with one brand of speaker. For example, our hope is that a consumer might start with a Summit enabled sound bar for their TV and then add a Summit enabled subwoofer. That same system can be easily upgraded to a variety of surround sound systems by simply adding more speakers. Our technology will allow consumers to upgrade an audio system or just one component of the system without the need to replace the entire system. Consumers can keep the original transmitter, sound bar, and subwoofer and integrate them seamlessly into a new system. Being able to outfit a home entertainment system with Summit-enabled speakers and components gives consumers the ability to express their individual preference and needs and provides the assurance that the devices will interoperate, delivering what we believe is the highest standard in HD wireless surround sound. Dissatisfaction with Bluetooth Performance and Quality We believe that consumers want better performance and quality from their Bluetooth audio devices. For example, they may want headsets that stay connected over longer distances or products that offer better audio fidelity. By offering a solution that addresses these needs at a comparable price point to Bluetooth, we believe that we can build consumer demand for our technology. Profitability of Audio Component Accessories High-definition televisions (“HDTVs”) are getting thinner and it is becoming increasingly difficult to incorporate the latest electronic advances into such thin displays. Over two hundred million smart TVs are currently sold annually. We expect that eventually most of the electronics will be external to the display. We believe that the first physical feature to be removed from HDTVs will be the audio component, since there is very little room for quality speakers in today’s thin displays. We believe that HDTV manufacturers know that they need to provide an audio alternative. Additionally, since cost is a significant consideration, we believe that some manufacturers may offer external sound bars which will satisfy some consumers, but perhaps not the consumers who desire a high-quality audio alternative. Over nine million sound bars are forecasted to be sold in the United States in 2021 by CTA (Consumer Technology Association) which would equate to 30 to 40 million worldwide. We believe that these developments are creating an inflection point in the market, and manufacturers are looking to Summit’s technology to create a standard for wireless audio interoperability that will support a long-term product strategy for the successful development of high quality, wireless audio products. By designing speaker systems that incorporate Summit’s technology, consumer electronics companies will be able to sell easy-to-install surround sound audio solutions alongside TVs. Enjoyment of improved audio on existing content We believe that the growth in the number of video devices streaming multi-channel audio content, coupled with new 3D immersive sound experiences from Dolby’s ATMOS and DTS’ DTSx formats, will help propel the demand for wireless speakers well into the future. 4 Enjoyment of wireless audio without interference from other wireless signals Having other devices nearby that also use the 5 GHz band should not affect the performance of a Summit-enabled audio system, as Summit’s technology can seamlessly switch to another frequency within the 5 GHz band. The 5 GHz U-NII spectrum utilized by Summit technology has up to 24 channels available that are constantly monitored for interference using the Dynamic Frequency Selection sub-band between 5.2 and 5.8 GHz. When interference is detected, the next channel, having been monitored for over one minute and confirmed for accessibility, is ready to be accessed and Summit-enabled devices switch seamlessly to that channel, without the user ever noticing or the audio experience being affected. What Distinguishes Summit from its Competitors Both the proprietary technology and the adoption of the technology by leaders in consumer electronics are differentiating factors for Summit. Our management believes that Summit is one of the only companies with the technical capabilities of transmitting high resolution, low latency, and speaker synchronization of wireless audio capable of supporting up to 8 channels. Premium consumer brands, like Bang & Olufsen, Harman International, a division of Samsung and LG Electronics have begun to adopt our technology as a valued feature in performance products. Category Defining Wireless Audio Our first generation wireless audio technology delivers industry leading 8 channels of uncompressed audio directly to the speakers in 24-bit and up to 96 kHz sample rates. This means that a consumer can experience audio exactly as it was mastered in the studio. Summit’s technology supports surround sound systems up to 7.1 or 5.1.2 for Dolby Atmos® configurations. Alternative technologies such as, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards were not designed to transmit fixed low latency audio that is synchronized to video. However, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards can work well for audio-only wireless transmission, when video is not a part of the listening experience. In audio-only applications, latency is less critical and audio data can be buffered in memory to ensure proper speaker synchronization even when data retransmissions are needed in today’s congested wireless environments. In video applications, retransmissions add to latency. Standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards have long variable latency that can exceed acceptable audio to video synchronization and make quality multichannel audio experience unachievable. A few custom silicon-based solutions exist today that improve on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards based performance, but compared to Summit, such products have longer latencies, lower performing speaker synchronization, and are limited to 2-4 audio channels and often only support 16-bit CD quality audio. Summit’s technology roadmap includes proprietary software that will enable standard Wi-Fi protocol to support multi-channel audio for video applications, while permitting Summit to leverage Wi-Fi’s lower chip and module cost structure. Summits first generation technology was designed for the mid to high end home theater market and offers a unique feature set that is expected to be included in new product designs for years. Summit’s new Wi-Fi strategy enables the Company to compete in the entry level home theater market at Bluetooth price points, while delivering superior multi-channel performance for higher volume applications. The Company’s recently announced Discovery module is the first product that integrates Summit’s new software which enables a transceiver module to keep up to four independent wireless audio channels synchronized in a room size up to 10 meters square. The Discovery modules is ideally suited for entry level home entertainment systems, including sound bars, TVs, subwoofers and Dolby Atmos® applications. Summit Customers Summit currently sells wireless modules containing custom semiconductor chips to a growing list of consumer electronics customers, including major brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Enclave Audio, Klipsch, LG, Harman International, a division of Samsung, Savant, Skyworth and System Audio. We believe that the use of our products by well-known consumer electronics brands will provide an opportunity to create wireless audio products that are simple to install and perform at high levels. Brands such as Bang & Olufsen and Klipsch have chosen Summit technology to drive their wireless home audio/theater product assortments. We believe that their leadership has brought credibility to the technology and paved the way at retail for other brands to follow. Our Strategy Our goal is to establish and maintain a leadership position as the ubiquitous standard for hi-fidelity wireless, multi-channel audio. To obtain and enhance our position as the leading standard in the audio space, we intend to: ● improve recognition of our Summit brand and the WiSA Association standard brand; ● provide excellent products and services to our customers and members; ● make sure our technology is accessible to many consumers by having our technology in consumer electronics devices that sell at a variety of price points; ● expand market awareness of wireless multi-channel hi-fidelity audio experience availability; ● reduce hardware costs; ● enhance and protect our IP portfolio; ● invest in highly qualified personnel; and ● build innovative products alongside the world’s leading consumer electronics companies. 5 We currently sell our modules in relatively small quantities. As new customers introduce Summit-enabled products and current customers introduce second and third generation Summit-enabled products, we expect that orders for our modules will increase proportionally. With larger orders, we believe that we can take advantage of economies of scale and improve our gross margins on our modules. Interoperability Interoperability is a key aspect of wireless technology. We believe that this is especially true with audio technology, where unique designs, price points, audio quality and capabilities as well as consumer brand loyalties are significant factors for the end consumer. Creating home theater and audio components that all work with an interoperable standard creates a high level of confidence in retailers and consumers in the functionality of the entire entertainment system. Interoperability also increases the opportunity for specialized brands to create new and innovative products knowing they can focus on their specific part of the market and rely on others to create the necessary cohort components. Proprietary Software A significant amount of our time and resources are being allocated towards launching a software licensing part of our business. Customers will receive a license for our TX software, so that any of their devices with a suitable Wi-Fi radio can transmit audio compliant with our standard without having to purchase and integrate our TX module. We believe that this software will be well positioned for use by major consumer electronics companies in many devices including TVs, handsets, gaming consoles, and computers. Patent applications have been submitted for key technology innovations in this software. Speaker companies under this new model would purchase Wi-Fi modules with our RX software pre-installed from an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), rather than buying modules directly from us. The OEM would pay a royalty to us based on how many modules with our software that it sold. Research and Development As of December 31, 2020, our research and development department consisted of 25 dedicated employees, 1 of which was working part-time. Summit’s engineering team has a wide range of expertise, capable of developing all levels of product design, from Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASIC”) to modules to finished products. Summit research and development has and will continue developing trade secrets for Digital Signal Processing (“DSP”), RF design and testing of Summit technologies. Summit has developed multiple ASICs and certified modules for integration into multiple designs by ODMs which are currently shipping to consumers. The hardware solution uses a high-performance proprietary network for transmission of multi-channel audio. Summit is currently developing a Wi-Fi compliant Software (“SW”) solution that could enable multi-channel audio capabilities on most Google Cast modules and Linux/Android based multimedia systems. The software solution uses a Wi-Fi compliant network for transmission of multi-channel audio. Summit has demonstrated the core SW only technology to key tier one companies and is currently working on productizing the solution for evaluation and implementation. Manufacturing, Logistics and Fulfillment Our modules are designed and developed in Oregon, and our manufacturing is outsourced to contract manufacturers located in China. Our manufacturing facilities have been ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. We purchase components and fabricated parts from multiple suppliers; however, we rely on sole source suppliers for certain components used to manufacture our modules. Several key strategic parts are purchased from suppliers by us and then consigned to our manufacturers, while the vast majority of parts are procured directly by our contract manufacturers. Our operations team manages the pricing and supply of the key components of our modules and seeks to achieve competitive pricing on the largest value-add components, while leveraging our contract manufacturers’ volume purchases for best pricing on common parts. We have strong relationships with our manufacturers, helping us meet our supply and support requirements. Our manufacturing partners procure components and assemble our devices in accordance with our purchase orders. Demand forecasts and manufacturing purchase orders are based upon customer orders, historical trends, and analysis from our sales and product management functions. We believe that our manufacturing capabilities are essential to maintaining and improving product quality and performance, and that using outsourced manufacturing enables greater scale and flexibility than establishing our own manufacturing facilities. While some modules are delivered from our production facility in Oregon, we have a third-party warehouse and fulfillment center in Hong Kong that delivers the majority our modules. Sales Channels and Customers Summit sells modules and integrated circuits (“ICs”) directly to OEM brands worldwide which in turn, sell their system level products to end customers through a vast channel of retailers and dealer networks. Internationally known brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Harman International, a division of Samsung, LG, System Audio, Klipsch, Axiim, Enclave and many others are among our current customers, with products aimed at the wireless home theater market. Most of these brands sell thru big box retail and online e-tail. 6 Marketing and Advertising Effective and consistent marketing and advertising is critical as we grow our wireless audio solutions. We have worked with multiple PR agencies on establishing effective messaging to face all segments within our category including press, brands, reviewers, retailers and consumers. Our focuses are ease of set-up, high quality performance, expandability and the benefits of a true multi-channel surround sound audio solutions. Competition The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and has been characterized by price erosion and rapid technological change. We compete with major domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have greater market recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we have with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. Microchip Technology, Inc . Microchip Technology, Inc. (“Microchip”) develops, manufactures and sells specialized semiconductor products used by their customers for a wide variety of embedded control applications. One of their offerings, KleerNet, is in direct competition with our technology. Microchip markets their KleerNet technology as resistant to interference, low latency, long-range, and able to stream uncompressed audio. Summit’s technology differentiates itself from KleerNet because we do not rely on a retransmission protocol. A retransmission protocol resends audio packets that have been either damaged or lost. We believe retransmission of audio data is an inferior solution since it increases latency in congested networks and makes it difficult to synchronize audio with video. Summit transmits audio packets with fixed latency in a manner well-suited for multi-channel audio networks and video applications. Avnera Corporation Avnera Corporation (“Avnera”) is a fabless semiconductor company making highly-integrated application targeted ICs for consumer audio and voice applications. Avnera’s ICs integrate RF, power management, audio data converters, host interfaces, & programmable DSPs onto low-cost CMOS, enabling very high performance at low total system cost. Avnera’s IC products target applications in the PC accessory audio, iPod accessory audio, home theater, and consumer & enterprise voice markets. Avnera’s list of customers includes Logitech, Creative, Rocketfish, Panasonic, iHome, Vizio, Sanyo, Onkyo, Acoustic Research, Audioengine and Polycom. Bluetooth SIG, Inc. Bluetooth SIG, Inc. is a globally recognized technology that has applications to wireless audio. We believe Bluetooth SIG technology currently cannot match the technical capabilities of our modules. However, Bluetooth SIG, is still a very inexpensive and widely used technology for wireless audio. We believe that our technological advantages over Bluetooth SIG include our ability to provide to consumers surround sound, a more reliable connection, higher fidelity, fixed low latency, tight speaker to speaker synchronization, and uncompressed audio. In addition to these companies that compete with our custom chip and module business, we believe that Blackfire Research Corporation would be a competitor for our upcoming software IP business segment. Intellectual Property We have key IP assets, including patents and trade secrets developed based on our technical expertise. As of December 31, 2020, we had 10 issued patents and 5 pending patent applications in the United States and 2 applications outside the United States. The patents cover several areas of a multi-channel system. Our currently issued patents expire at various times from December 31, 2029 through February 21, 2034. IP is an important aspect of our business, and our practice is to seek protection for our IP as appropriate. A multi-channel audio for surround sound system has technical requirements not required by simple stereo only systems. Multi-channel systems require each audio channel to be precisely played in time to create a sound field that correlates to video being viewed by a consumer. Summit has developed hardware and software core technologies that manage system network latency and speaker phase. Summit’s patents are based on protecting our low latency network algorithms and multi receiver synchronization. We pursue a general practice of filing patent applications for our technologies in the U.S. and foreign countries where our customers manufacture, distribute, or sell licensed products. We actively pursue new applications to expand our patent portfolio to address new technological innovations. We have multiple patents covering aspects and improvements for many of our technologies. 7 Our trademarks cover our various products, technologies, improvements, and features, as well as the services that we provide. These trademarks are an integral part of our technology licensing program, and licensees typically elect to place our trademarks on their products to inform consumers that their products incorporate our technology and meet our quality specifications. We protect our IP rights both domestically and internationally. From time to time, we may experience problems with OEMs of consumer entertainment products in emerging economies. In the event it becomes necessary, we will take all necessary steps to enforce our IP rights. Moreover, we have relatively few issued patents outside the U.S. Growing our licensing revenue in developing countries may depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent rights in these countries, which is uncertain. Further, because of the limitations of the legal systems in many countries, the effectiveness of patents obtained or that may in the future be obtained, if any, is uncertain. Employees As of December 31, 2020, we had a total 40 employees working in the United States and internationally. In the United States, we had 38 employees, 1 of which was working part-time, including 25 employees that work in our research and development department, 7 employees in our sales and marketing department, 1 employee that works in our manufacturing/logistics/fulfillment department and 5 employees that work in our general and administrative department. Additionally, we have one logistics employee and one sales employee in Taiwan. None of our employees are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have experienced no work stoppages. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good. Item 1A. Risk Factors. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure required under this Item 1A. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. Not Applicable. Item 2. Properties. Facilities Our finance office is located in San Jose, California, where we lease approximately 1,500 square feet for approximately $1,500 per month on a month to month basis. Effective November 1, 2020, our research and development, production, sales and marketing personnel moved to a new office space in Beaverton, Oregon. Under such lease, which is scheduled to terminate on January 31, 2024, we lease approximately 10,500 square feet for approximately $18,000 per month. We lease all of our facilities and do not own any real property. We may procure additional space as we add employees and expand geographically. We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future and that should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of our operations. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. At the present time, we are not involved in any material litigation. However, from time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. 8 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Market Information Our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WISA.” Holders As of March 12, 2021, there were approximately 123 holders of record of our Common Stock. This number does not include shares of Common Stock held by brokerage clearing houses, depositories or others in unregistered form. Dividends We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors (the “Board”). Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans Reference is made to “ Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans ” for the information required by this item. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities All share and price per share information in Part II of this Report has been adjusted to reflect our one-for-twenty reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock, which became effective for the trading of our Common Stock on April 9, 2020: On January 23, 2020, we entered into a funding agreement, as amended (the “Funding Agreement”), which provided for the issuance to an unaffiliated accredited investor of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $111,100, reflecting a 10% original issue discount, 500 shares of our Common Stock and a five-year warrant exercisable for 7,936 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.80 per share in consideration for $100,000, which was funded on January 24, 2020. Additionally, pursuant to the Funding Agreement, such investor was granted a most favored nation right. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding debt owed to such investor pursuant to the Funding Agreement has been fully repaid. On February 28, 2020, the Company completed a private placement (the “February 2020 Private Placement”) of $835,000 of units (the “Units”), which consisted of (i) 91,062 shares of Common Stock and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 45,534 shares of Common Stock, which were immediately exercisable upon issuance at $9.80 per share, subject to 4.99% beneficial ownership limitations and adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes (the “February 2020 Warrants”).

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results. Overview We were formed as Summit Semiconductor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on July 23, 2010. We converted to a Delaware corporation, effective December 31, 2017, at which time we changed our name to Summit Semiconductor, Inc. Effective as of September 11, 2018, we changed our name to Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. We run our operations through Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc., as well as through our wholly-owned subsidiary WiSA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The address of our corporate headquarters is 6840 Via Del Oro, Ste. 280, San Jose, CA 95119. Our website address is www.summitwireless.com . The information contained in or accessible through our website is not part of this Report and is intended for informational purposes only. We are an early stage technology company and our primary business focus is to enable mainstream consumers and audio enthusiasts to experience high quality audio. We intend to continue selling our semiconductors and wireless modules to consumer electronics companies while also increasing our focus on implementing a software licensing business segment. Our technology addresses some of the main issues that we perceive are hindering the growth of the home theater: complexity and cost. We believe that consumers want to experience theater quality surround sound from the comfort of their homes. However, wired home theater systems often require expensive audio-visual (“AV”) receivers to decode the audio stream, leaving the consumer with the burden of concealing the wires. Hiring a professional to hide the wires into the walls or floor is invasive, complicated, costly and time consuming. Further, people who rent as opposed to own may not be able to install these systems as the installation construction needed may not be permitted under a lease agreement. Our first-generation wireless technology addresses these problems by transmitting wireless audio to each speaker at Blu-ray quality (uncompressed 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz sample rates) and emphasizing ease of setup. To our knowledge, our custom chips and modules technology is one of the only technologies available today that can stream up to eight (8) separate wireless audio channels with low latency, removing lip-sync issues between the audio and video sources. In addition, every speaker within a system that utilizes our technology can be synchronized to less than one microsecond, thus eliminating phase distortion between speakers. Our first-generation technology shows that wireless home theater systems are viable home audio solutions for the average consumer and audio enthusiast alike. We are currently developing certain proprietary software for which patent applications have been submitted that we believe will allow us to enable smart devices that have Wi-Fi and video media to deliver surround sound audio. A prototype version of our software technology has been demonstrated to select customers (pursuant to confidentiality agreements) at the Consumer Electronics Show 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our goal is to commercialize a software based-solution, which other brands can integrate into their devices, that will (i) reduce integration costs for mass market use, (ii) utilize Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity, making it easy to integrate into today’s high volume, low cost systems on a chip (“SOC”) and modules, (iii) provide a low power consumption option to allow for use in battery powered devices, and (iv) provide compatibility with popular consumer electronic operating systems. To date, our operations have been funded through sales of our common and preferred equity, debt instruments, and revenue from the sale of our products. Our consolidated financial statements contemplate the continuation of our business as a going concern. However, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with an emerging business, as noted above we have no established source of capital, and we have incurred recurring losses from operations since inception. 11 Plan of Operation Our plan of operation is to focus our efforts in offering a suite of technologies that will enable mainstream consumers and audio enthusiasts to experience high quality audio. We intend to continue selling our semiconductors and wireless modules to consumer electronics companies while also increasing our focus on implementing a software licensing business segment. We have designed wireless modules that provide high performance wireless audio for our customers to build into their products like a speaker, TV, or dongle for example. These modules include our custom semiconductors with our IP built in as well as a Wi-Fi radio for communications. By designing and selling these modules we can reduce our customers design expense, accelerate their time-to-market cycle, and reduce the cost of each module. Summit offers both a “TX” module to transmit the audio from a host device like a media hub, TV or dongle to WiSA-enabled speakers and an “RX” model for speakers, that receives the wireless audio signal and processes it for audio play out. Industry Background The primary growth segments for in home entertainment have been “Bluetooth” stereo accessories which include single speakers, headsets, and more recently, “multi-room” stereo speakers that use your home’s Wi-Fi network to stream audio throughout the house. Potential Impacts of the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on Our Business and Operations The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners. Like most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed. During our second fiscal quarter, we observed decreased demand from certain of our customers due to the temporary closure by many retailers. Our third and fourth fiscal quarters saw improved customer demand as retailers partially reopened and demand for an in-home immersive cinema experience increased, while public cinemas remained closed throughout many regions in the country. However, another closure by retailers, as well as a reopening of more public cinemas, could impact customer demand in the future. Given the fact that our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, we expect that our sales will experience some volatility as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware that many companies, including many of our suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. To date, we have experienced a shipment delay from one of our suppliers due to COVID-19, however we do not believe such delay will have a material adverse impact on our operating results and we have not experienced a material supply interruption. There can be no assurance that we will not experience material supply delays or interruptions in the future due to COVID-19, although we do not believe supply interruptions to be likely at this time. To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted our ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm our business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist our customers and distributors as well as impact our ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present we do not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. We have taken steps to restrain and monitor our operating expenses and therefore we do not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues. Like most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure that we comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees and our ability to continue operating our business effectively. To date, we have been able to operate our business effectively using these measures and to maintain all internal controls. We also have not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and do not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future. 12 The actions that we have taken so far during the pandemic include, but are not limited to: • requiring all employees who can work from home to work from home; • increasing our IT networking capability to best assure that employees can work effectively outside the office; • for employees who must perform essential functions in one of our offices: • having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible; • having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and • requiring employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this Report. As of the date of this Report, we do not expect there to be material changes to our assets on our balance sheet or our ability to timely account for those assets. If business interruptions resulting from COVID-19 were to be prolonged or expanded in scope, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. We will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity. Critical Accounting Policies The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies. We utilize the extended transition period provided in Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) as allowed by Section 107(b)(1) of the JOBS Act for the adoption of new or revised accounting standards as applicable to emerging growth companies. As part of the election, we will not be required to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standard until such time that a company that does not qualify as an “issuer” (as defined under Section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) is required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Act, and we will utilize certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For example, we will not have to provide an auditor’s attestation report on our internal control in future annual reports on Form 10-K as otherwise required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to utilize this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards as they become applicable to public companies. Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Revenue Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2,404,000, an increase of $738,000, or 44%, compared to the revenue of $1,666,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased volumes. Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,977,000, an increase of $240,000, compared to cost of revenue of $1,737,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the direct material costs associated with higher sales volumes, partially offset by $251,000 of reduced inventory obsolescence charges. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $4,572,000, a decrease of $855,000, compared to expenses of $5,427,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily related to decreased salary and benefit expenses of $408,000, reduced consulting fees, direct materials, travel expenses and recruiting fees of $564,000, $77,000, $33,000 and $68,000, respectively, partially offset by increased stock compensation of $170,000. 13 Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $2,974,000, an increase of $140,000, compared to expenses of $2,834,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily related to increased stock compensation and advertising of $179,000 and $314,000, respectively, offset partially by reduced consulting fees, travel and public relation charges of $160,000, $107,000 and $91,000, respectively. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $4,168,000, an increase of $1,339,000, compared to expenses of $2,829,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily related to increased salary and benefit expenses of $176,000, as the Company added a senior financial executive in September 2019, increased stock compensation and legal expenses of $396,000 and $191,000, respectively, and settlement expenses of $879,000, which is discussed in Note 8 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements (Contingencies). The increase was partially offset by decreased investor relations expenses of $316,000. Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,397,000, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to the full amortization of debt discounts associated with the convertible debt that the Company incurred in March 2020, as such convertible debt was fully repaid in April 2020. Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability Change in fair value of warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2020 resulted in a gain of $16,000, compared to a gain of $204,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The gain for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to the decrease in our Common Stock price during both the respective periods. Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability Change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0, compared to an expense of $171,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $171,000 expense recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019 was related to the change in fair value of the embedded conversion feature included in the Company’s 8% Senior Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), as of December 31, 2019. Other Expense, net Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $34,000, compared to other expense of $902,000 during the same period of 2019. Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily comprised of an $892,000 change in fair value of common stock warrants upon repricing. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 were $7,415,000, compared to $298,000 as of December 31, 2019. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2020 was directly related to the issuance of Common Stock, prefunded warrants and related warrants whereby the Company raised net proceeds of $16,156,000, the issuance of convertible notes for net proceeds of $1,396,000, and the issuance of a note payable, under which the Company raised $847,000. The cash provided by these financing activities was offset by the use of cash to fund operations and repayment of convertible notes payable totaling $2,151,000. We incurred a net loss of $12,705,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and used net cash in operating activities of $9,859,000. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $12,038,000 and used net cash in operating activities of $11,032,000. Excluding non-cash adjustments, the primary reasons for the use of net cash from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 is related to the decrease in accounts payable of $882,000, offset partially by the increase in accrued liabilities of $263,000. We are an early stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception. In order to execute our long-term strategic plan to further develop and fully commercialize our core products, we will need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Going Concern The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are an early stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future because of additional costs and expenses related to research and development activities, plans to expand its product portfolio, and increase its market share. The Company’s ability to transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. 14 Based on current operating levels, the Company may need to raise additional funds in the second half of 2021. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. We are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a smaller reporting company. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and the respective report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm required to be filed in response to this Item 8 begin on page F-1. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this Report. This conclusion was based on the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting further described below. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and SEC guidelines. We plan to continue to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this Report, we have not remediated the material weakness identified above. To remediate such weakness, we are continuing to adopt and implement written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. 15 This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the Company’s fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 covered by this Report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than as described herein.

The Company’s directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials sent to them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, or if for some other reason they are unable to serve in the capacity of director. Our Board currently consists of eight (8) members: Brett Moyer, Lisa Cummins, Jonathan Gazdak, Dr. Jeffrey M. Gilbert, Helge Kristensen, Michael Howse, Sriram Peruvemba, and Robert Tobias. All of our directors will serve until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Director Independence As our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our determination of the independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). As of March 12, 2021, our Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. Jeffrey M. Gilbert, Lisa Cummins, Sriram Peruvemba and Robert Tobias are “independent directors,” as that term is defined in the Nasdaq rules. During the last completed fiscal year, our Board also had affirmatively determined that Sam Runco and Brian Herr, former members of the Board who resigned during such fiscal year, were “independent directors” during the time they served on the Board and any of its committees. Under the Nasdaq rules, our Board must be composed of a majority of “independent directors.” Additionally, subject to certain limited exceptions, our Board’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees also must be composed of all independent directors. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. To be considered to be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his capacity as a member of our audit committee, our board of directors, or any other committee of our board of directors: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. 20 Our Board has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that the following members of our Board have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director: Brett Moyer, Helge Kristensen, Jonathan Gazdak and Michael Howse, and that other than such directors, each of our directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq. In making this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by each non-employee director. On January 14, 2021, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq that Nasdaq has determined that Mr. Kristensen no longer meets the qualifications of an “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules. We are in the process of taking such actions, as necessary, to regain compliance with the independence requirements under the Nasdaq rules, in order to avoid our Common Stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our Board has also determined that (i) Ms. Cummins, Mr. Peruvemba and Mr. Tobias satisfy the independence standards for the Board’s audit committee established by the Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act (ii) that Mr. Peruvemba, Dr. Gilbert and Mr. Tobias satisfy the independence standards for the compensation committee established by the Nasdaq Rules and are “independent directors” for such committee’s purposes and (iii) Dr. Gilbert, Ms. Cummins and Mr. Tobias satisfy the independence standards for our Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee established by the Nasdaq Rules and are “independent directors” for such committee’s purposes. Board Meetings and Attendance During fiscal year 2020, the Board held 8 physical/telephonic meetings. No incumbent director attended, either in person or via telephone, fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board, for which at the time of the meeting they were a member of the Board, except for Brian Herr and Sam Runco who attended less than 75% of the meetings of the Board. The Board also approved certain actions by unanimous written consent. Annual Meeting Attendance The Company held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 20, 2020, which was attended in person by Brett Moyer.

Board Committees Our Board has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each Board committee has a charter, which is available on our website at https://ir.summitwireless.com/governance-docs . Information contained on our website is not incorporated herein by reference.

Gilbert and Robert Tobias Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee – Dr. Jeffrey M. Gilbert*, Lisa Cummins and Robert Tobias * Indicates Committee Chair (1) Indicates Audit Committee Financial Expert Audit Committee Our Board’s audit committee (“Audit Committee”) has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of our Audit Committee are Lisa Cummins, Sriram Peruvemba and Robert Tobias. Ms. Cummins, Mr. Peruvemba and Robert Tobias are “independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules. Our Board has determined that Ms. Cummins shall serve as the “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In addition, Ms. Cummins serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. 21 The Audit Committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and oversees the audit of our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include, among other matters: · selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements; · helping to ensure the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm; · discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviewing, with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, our interim and year-end operating results; · developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or audit matters; · reviewing our policies on risk assessment and risk management; · reviewing related party transactions; · obtaining and reviewing a report by the independent registered public accounting firm at least annually, that describes our internal control procedures, any material weaknesses with such procedures, and any steps taken to deal with such material weaknesses when required by applicable law; and · approving (or, as permitted, pre-approving) all audit and all permissible non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. During 2020, the Audit Committee held four virtual meetings to enable members of the then current Audit Committee, which included only two members during a portion of the year, to review and approve the filing of the Company’s Annual and Quarterly Reports. To ensure a thorough review the Company held separate virtual meetings with (a) each of Ms. Cummins and Mr. Kristensen to review and approve the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, (b) all of the members of the then current Audit Committee to review and approve the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2020, and (c) virtual meetings to enable all committee members to approve the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board that satisfies the applicable standards of Nasdaq. Effective February 10, 2020, Brian Herr, then a member of the Board and the Audit Committee, resigned from the Board. On March 24, 2020, Nasdaq notified us that we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that a company’s audit committee be composed of at least three independent directors. On June 24, 2020, as a result of the appointment of Sri Peruvemba to the Audit Committee effective as of June 22, 2020, Nasdaq notified us that we had regained compliance with such rule and the matter was closed. However, on January 14, 2021, we received a letter from Nasdaq that Nasdaq has determined that Mr. Kristensen, who had been serving as a member of the Audit Committee, no longer meets the qualifications of an “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules. We are in the process of taking such actions, as necessary, to regain compliance with the independence requirements under the Nasdaq rules, in order to avoid our Common Stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of January 14, 2021, Mr. Kristensen no longer serves as a member of the Audit Committee. Compensation Committee The members of our Board’s compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) are Sriram Peruvemba, Dr. Jeffrey M. Gilbert and Robert Tobias. Messrs. Peruvemba, Gilbert and Tobias are “independent” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. In addition, each member of our Compensation Committee qualifies as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

The LTIP is intended to enable the Company to continue to attract able directors, employees, and consultants and to provide a means whereby those individuals upon whom the responsibilities rest for successful administration and management of the Company, and whose present and potential contributions are of importance, can acquire and maintain Common Stock ownership, thereby strengthening their concern for the Company’s welfare. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the LTIP pursuant to awards of Restricted Shares or Options will be limited to 15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which calculation shall be made on the first trading day of each new fiscal year; provided that, in any year no more than 8% of the Common Stock or derivative securitization with Common Stock underlying 8% of the Common Stock may be issued in any fiscal year. For fiscal year 2019, up to 115,245 shares of Common Stock were available for participants under the LTIP. For fiscal year 2020, up to 99,619 shares of Common Stock were initially available for participants under the LTIP. The number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of awards under the LTIP which are forfeited or terminated, are settled in cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock or in a manner such that all or some of the shares covered by an award are not issued to a participant or are exchanged for awards that do not involve shares will again immediately become available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the LTIP. If shares of Common Stock are withheld from payment of an award to satisfy tax obligations with respect to the award, those shares of Common Stock will be treated as shares that have been issued under the LTIP and will not again be available for issuance under the LTIP. In connection with the termination of the Carve-Out Plan and the approval of the LTIP on January 31, 2018, the Company issued 64,224 and 7,656 shares of restricted common stock to certain of its employees and directors, respectively, whose proceeds under the Carve-Out Plan were vested as of that date (the “January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant”). Such shares were issued to such persons on January 31, 2018, and were to be released in three equal tranches on September 1, 2018, March 1, 2019 and September 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, all of the shares of such restricted common stock were released, with an additional 382 shares to be released to a terminated employee in March 2021, pursuant to the terms of such employee’s restricted stock agreement. The January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant and the LTIP were approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders on January 31, 2018. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) On July 27, 2020, the Board approved the establishment of the 2020 Plan and the reservation of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained on October 20, 2020. The 2020 Plan authorizes the grant of equity-based compensation to the Company’s senior managers, employees, directors, consultants, professionals and service providers in the form of stock options, restricted stock and RSUs. All options granted under the 2020 Plan will be considered non-qualified stock options. The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to attract and retain senior managers, employees, directors, consultants, professionals and service providers who provide services to the Company, provided that such services are bona fide services that are not of a capital-raising nature during this period of unprecedented uncertainty and volatility in the COVID-19 environment and its impact on the value of the Company’s equity and grants. As of December 31, 2020, no options or restricted stock awards have been granted under the 2020 Plan and an aggregate of 626,974 RSUs were outstanding under the 2020 Plan .

The percentage ownership information shown in the table is based upon 10,488,853 shares of Common Stock and 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 12, 2021.

In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee, or disinterested directors, as applicable, will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate: (i) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; (ii) the nature and extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction; (iii) the material terms of the transactions; (iv) the importance of the transaction both to the Company and to the related party; (v) in the case of a transaction involving an executive officer or director, whether the transaction would interfere with the performance of such person’s duties to the Company; and (vi) in the case of a transaction involving a non-employee director or a nominee for election as a non-employee director (or their immediate family member), whether the transaction would disqualify the director or nominee from being deemed an “independent” director, as defined by Nasdaq, and whether the transaction would disqualify the individual from serving on the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee or other committees of the Board under applicable Nasdaq and other regulatory requirements. 34 The Audit Committee only approves those related party transactions that are on terms comparable to, or more beneficial to us than, those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, available cash and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ BPM LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

F- 6 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 1. Business and Viability of Operations Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries also referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was originally formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 23, 2010. The Company develops wireless audio semiconductors and modules for consumer electronics companies to enable mainstream consumers and audio enthusiasts to experience high quality audio. Nasdaq Notification On October 16, 2019, the Company received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days. Nasdaq granted the Company a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until April 13, 2020, to regain compliance with its minimum bid price requirements, during which the Company’s common stock continued to be listed on Nasdaq, and on March 23, 2020, the Company received an extension of time to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid of the Company’s common stock was required to meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during such compliance period. On April 24, 2020, the Company announced that it received written notification from Nasdaq that the Company regained compliance with such minimum bid price requirement and the matter was closed. On November 18, 2019, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq that it did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Nasdaq required the Company to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for consideration by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (“Nasdaq Staff”) by no later than January 2, 2020, and the Company submitted a plan on such date (the “Compliance Plan”). On March 23, 2020, the Nasdaq Staff accepted the Compliance Plan and granted the Company an extension period to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which required the Company to complete an equity raise on or before May 18, 2020 and demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement upon the filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020. On May 11, 2020, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing that it believed it had regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as a result of the Company’s equity raise in April 2020. Additionally, on August 13, 2020, the Company filed a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, demonstrating stockholders’ equity of $11.7 million, which exceeded the minimum equity required by the Stockholder’s Equity Requirement and as a result of such filing, the matter was closed. On March 24, 2020, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq that the Company did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 (the “Audit Committee Rule”), which requires that the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors include at least three independent directors. On June 24, 2020, as a result of the Company’s appointment of Sri Peruvemba to such audit committee effective as of June 22, 2020, Nasdaq notified the Company that it determined that the Company regained compliance with the Audit Committee Rule and the matter was closed. F- 7 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 1. Business and Viability of Operations, continued On January 6, 2021, the Company notified Nasdaq that effective January 1, 2021, Helge Kristensen, a current director of the Company and a member of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, may no longer be considered an independent director, as such term is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). On January 14, 2021, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and that consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq has provided the Company a “cure period” in order to regain compliance until the earlier of (i) the Company’s next annual stockholders’ meeting or (ii) January 1, 2022; or if the next annual stockholders’ meeting is held before June 30, 2021, then the Company must evidence compliance with such rule no later than June 30, 2021. Nasdaq has also informed the Company that if it does not regain compliance with both of the Nasdaq Independence Requirements, within the applicable “cure period,” Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted from Nasdaq. At that time, the Company will have the right to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company is actively searching for a qualified individual to replace Mr. Kristensen as an independent director and anticipates regaining compliance with the Nasdaq independence requirements within the time provided. Reverse Stock Split On March 31, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders, at which its stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of common stock at a specific ratio within a range from one-for-four to one-for-twenty, and to grant authorization to the board of directors to determine, in its sole discretion, the specific ratio and timing of the reverse stock split. On April 9, 2020, a 1-for-20 reverse stock split was effected and the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted. All common stock share numbers, warrants to purchase common stock, prices and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The par value of the common stock and the Series A 8% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) outstanding and its par value were not adjusted for the reverse stock split. The common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on that day under the new CUSIP number 86633R 203. COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy. Given the fact that our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, we expect that our sales will experience more volatility as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware that many companies, including many of our customers and suppliers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although, we did observe fluctuating demand for our products between April and September 2020, and delays in certain product shipments from our suppliers after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, including most recently, we have not experienced a material adverse impact on our operating results. We have reduced access to our facilities to personnel and third parties who perform critical activities that must be performed on-site and as a result, most of our personnel currently work remotely. Such remote working policies may negatively impact productivity and disrupt our business operations. In view of the rapidly changing business environment, unprecedented market volatility and heightened degree of uncertainty resulting from COVID-19, we are currently unable to fully determine its future impact on our business. We also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time or be certain supply delays or interruptions will not occur in the future, as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration. However, we are monitoring the progression of the pandemic and its potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. F- 8 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Liquidity and management plans The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net operating losses each year since inception. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million and reported net cash used in operations of $9.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future because of additional costs and expenses related to research and development activities, plans to expand its product portfolio, and increase its market share. The Company’s ability to transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds by selling additional equity or incurring debt. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues and has funded its operations primarily through sales of its common stock in public markets, sales of common and preferred units prior to its initial public offering (“IPO”) and proceeds from convertible notes. The Company also obtained a loan of $847,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, but the use of funds from such loan, by its terms, has been limited to making payroll payments to our employees and other permitted purposes relating to the operation of our business. (See Note 4 – Borrowings – Payroll Protection Program Note Agreement.) Additionally, future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, the selling price of the Company’s products, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Summit Wireless K.K., a Japanese corporation, which was closed in May 2020, and WiSA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any change in previously reported net loss, total assets or stockholders’ equity. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts at one financial institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. F- 9 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located throughout the world. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and sometimes requires full or partial payment in advance of shipping. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had three customers accounting for 36%, 31% and 15% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had three customers accounting for 37%, 28% and 20% of accounts receivable. The Company had three customers accounting for 43%, 10% and 10% of its net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company had two customers accounting for 57% and 24% of its net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company’s products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals. The Company relies on sole-source suppliers to manufacture some of the components used in its product. The Company’s manufacturers and suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet demand. The Company is heavily dependent on a single contractor in China for assembly and testing of its products. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and are generally not interest bearing. The Company reviews its trade receivables aging to identify specific customers with known disputes or collection issues. The Company exercises judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as it evaluates historical bad debt trends and changes to customers’ financial conditions. Uncollectible receivables are recorded as bad debt expense when all efforts to collect have been exhausted and recoveries are recognized when they are received. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments and investments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings and capital lease liabilities approximates fair value based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans and capital leases with similar terms. Inventories Inventories, principally purchased components, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the new cost basis. Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and filing fees relating to public offerings, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against public offering proceeds upon the effectiveness of an offering. In the event that an offering is terminated, deferred offering costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had capitalized $0 and $12,000, respectively, of deferred offering costs in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. F- 10 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of two to five years. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or term of the lease. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consisted of trademarks and are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years, which approximates the economic benefit. If our underlying assumptions regarding the estimated useful life of an intangible asset change, then the amortization period, amortization expense and the carrying value for such asset would be adjusted accordingly. During fiscal year 2020, no changes were made to the estimated useful life of intangible assets. During fiscal year 2020, the intangible assets were fully amortized. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or discounted estimates of future cash flows. The Company has not identified any such impairment losses to date. Convertible Financial Instruments The Company bifurcates conversion options and warrants from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP. When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options and warrants should be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption. Warrants for Common Shares and Derivative Financial Instruments Warrants for our shares of common stock and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) 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), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as equity or liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its warrants for shares of common stock and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required. F- 11 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued The issuance of the convertible notes payable generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, to shares of common stock, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt. In an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, as of the date that a down round feature is triggered, the Company measures the fair value of the instrument without the down round feature (that is, before the strike price is reduced) and the fair value of the financial instrument with a strike price that reflects the adjustment from the down round. The incremental difference in the fair value is recorded a deemed dividend. As the Company has an accumulated deficit, the deemed dividend is recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company increases the net loss available to common stockholders by the amount of the deemed dividend. Product Warranty The Company’s products are generally subject to a one year warranty, which provides for the repair, rework, or replacement of products (at the Company’s option) that fail to perform within the stated specification. The Company has assessed its historical claims and, to date, product warranty claims have not been significant. The Company will continue to assess if there should be a warranty accrual going forward. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales of products with alternative use account for the majority of our revenue and are recognized at a point in time. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue. Our revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components. Sales to certain distributors are made under arrangements which provide the distributors with price adjustments, price protection, stock rotation and other allowances under certain circumstances. The Company provides a limited number of its customers with a contractual right of return. These returns, adjustments and other allowances are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. If a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional before we transfer a good or service to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred income/ advances received from customers which are included in other current liabilities when the payment is made or it is due, whichever is earlier. Contract Balances We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Amounts collected prior to the fulfillment of the performance obligation are considered contract liabilities and classified as customer advances within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are recorded when we have a conditional right to consideration for our completed performance under the contracts. Accounts receivables are recorded when the right to this consideration becomes unconditional. We do not have any material contract assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. (in thousands) December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 Contract liabilities $ 373 $ 451 During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $436,000 of revenue that was included in the contract balances as of December 31, 2019. F- 12 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Revenue by Geographic Area In general, revenue disaggregated by geography (See Note 11) is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our business and provides meaningful disaggregation of our results of operations. Since we operate in one segment, all financial segment and product line information can be found in the consolidated financial statements. Practical Expedients and Exemptions As part of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we elected to use the following practical expedients: (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (ii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; (iii) not to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. In addition, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. Restricted stock units give an employee an interest in Company stock but they have no tangible value until vesting is complete. Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date and recognized as expense over the related service or performance period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are $334,000 and $30,000, respectively. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes within stockholders’ equity that are not the result of transactions with stockholders. Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the Company’s foreign subsidiary. In May 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiary was closed and the accumulated translation adjustment of $48,000 was recognized as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations . Foreign Currency The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign operations are measured using currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies. Accordingly, for these operations all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Expense items are translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these operations’ financial statements are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while foreign currency transaction gains or losses, resulting from remeasuring local currency to the U.S. dollar are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Net Loss per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Under the two-class method, net income would be attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. F- 13 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, convertible preferred stock, warrants for common stock, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. For the year ended December 31, 2020, warrants to purchase 7,314,102 shares of common stock, 87,169 shares of restricted stock, 626,974 restricted stock units and 250,000 shares of convertible preferred stock have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 369,855 shares of common stock, 47,145 shares of restricted stock and 250,000 shares of convertible preferred stock have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive. Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is “more-likely-than-not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recognized valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company uses a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing in the consolidated financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”. The FASB developed the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification 820 as part of its broader disclosure framework project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements. This update eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some of the existing disclosure requirements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within such fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. F- 14 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The objective of the update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with a lease term of more than 12 months. In addition, the update will require additional disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. Under existing guidance, operating leases are not recorded as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In October 2019, the FASB decided to defer the mandatory effective date of ASU 2016-02 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 for certain entities, including private companies. In June 2020, in response to adverse effect caused by Coronavirus Disease pandemic on private businesses, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05 which deferred the effective date for ASU 2016-02 for private businesses to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. As an emerging growth company, the Company is allowed to adopt accounting pronouncements at the same time as non-public business entities. As a result, we will adopt the update for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity". This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exception. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. As an emerging growth company, the Company is allowed to adopt the accounting pronouncement at the same time as non-public business entities. As a result, the Company will adopt the update for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption. 3.

Borrowings Funding Agreement On January 23, 2020, we entered into a funding agreement, as amended (the “Funding Agreement”), which provided for the issuance to an unaffiliated accredited investor of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $111,100, reflecting a 10% original issue discount, 500 shares of our common stock and a five-year warrant exercisable for 7,936 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.80 per share in consideration for $100,000, which was funded on January 24, 2020. Repayment of the convertible promissory note was due 45 days from execution of the Funding Agreement, or March 9, 2020. On March 31, 2020, the outstanding debt owed to such investor pursuant to the Funding Agreement was fully repaid. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $20,000 and $0, respectively, of interest expense from amortization of debt discounts related to the Funding Agreement. Convertible Promissory Note On March 30, 2020, the Company completed a private placement (the “March 2020 Private Placement”) of a senior secured convertible instrument (the “March 2020 Note”) and a warrant (the “March 2020 Warrant”) to purchase 227,679 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.40 per share, pursuant to which Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), acted as placement agent. The March 2020 Note and March 2020 Warrant were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, entered into as of March 22, 2020 (the “March 2020 Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and an institutional investor. The March 2020 Private Placement resulted in gross proceeds of $1,700,000, before fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, including but not limited to, an $85,000 commitment fee payable to such investor. The net proceeds received by us in connection with the March 2020 Private Placement were used primarily for working capital, debt repayment and general corporate purposes. Additionally, the Company issue a warrant to Maxim to purchase up to an aggregate of 20,400 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, as partial consideration for serving as placement agent in connection with the March 2020 Private Placement (the “March 2020 Maxim Warrant”). The March 2020 Note ranked senior to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and was secured to the extent and as provided in the security agreements entered into between the investor and each of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, in connection with the March 2020 Private Placement. The March 2020 Note was convertible in whole or in part at the option of the Investor into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) 90% of the average of the five lowest daily VWAPs during the previous twenty trading days prior to delivery to the Company of such investor’s applicable notice of conversion and (b) $6.40, subject to certain adjustments, at any time following the earlier of (i) 60 days from execution of the March 2020 Purchase Agreement and (ii) the date on which a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying each of the March 2020 Note and the related warrant is declared effective by the SEC; however, if the Company entered into an underwriting agreement within 45 days of the date on which the March 2020 Note was issued in connection with an underwritten offering that closes within 45 days of the execution of the Purchase Agreement, such investor may not convert the March 2020 Note prior to the 61st day after the date on which such underwriting agreement was executed. The March 2020 Note contained full ratchet anti-dilution protection, subject to certain price limitations required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and certain exceptions, upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the conversion price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. Additionally, upon three days’ written notice to the holder after receipt of a notice of conversion, in lieu of delivering shares of common stock upon a conversion, the Company had the right to pay the investor, in cash, an amount equal to 103% of the portion of the outstanding principal amount stated in such notice of conversion. Further, at the investor’s option, the March 2020 Note was convertible into shares of common stock or redeemable for 103% of the portion of the outstanding principal amount to be converted in the event that any transaction causes the conversion price to be lower than as required by Nasdaq rules and regulations. Subject to certain exceptions, commencing on the Conversion Trigger Date (as such term is defined in the March 2020 Note) and for a nine-month period after such date, the investor could convert only up to an aggregate of $102,000 in outstanding principal amount during any calendar month. F- 17 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 4. Borrowings, continued At any time after issuance of the March 2020 Note, the Company could repay all (but not less than all) of the outstanding principal amount of the March 2020 Note upon ten days’ written notice to the investor. If the Company exercised its right to prepay the March 2020 Note, the investor had the right, upon five days written notice to the Company after receipt of the notice of prepayment, to convert up to 33% of the principal amount of the March 2020 Note at the applicable conversion price. The investor also had the right to require the Company to repay 105% of the outstanding principal amount of the March 2020 Note in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the March 2020 Purchase Agreement). At any time after the closing date of the March 2020 Private Placement, in the event that the Company issued or sold any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents (as defined in the March 2020 Note), subject to certain exceptions, at an effective price lower than the conversion price then in effect or without consideration, then the conversion price would be reduced to the price per share paid for such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents. In connection with the March 2020 Note, the Company issued the March 2020 Warrant to the investor and the March 2020 Maxim Warrant to Maxim, respectively (see Note 6 – Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for fair value computation). The sum of the fair value of the March 2020 Warrant and the March 2020 Maxim Warrant, and the original issue discount for interest and issuance costs for the March 2020 Note were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized to interest expense over the respective term using the effective interest method. When the March 2020 Note was paid off (see paragraph below), all remaining debt discounts were recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. As a result of two adjustments in the initial conversion price, the Company modified the warrant agreements and recorded a deemed dividend of $134,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020 (See Note 6 – Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity.) The March 2020 Note contained several embedded conversion features. The Company determined that there was no significant value to the embedded conversion features as the underlying events to trigger the conversion features were not likely to occur. The Company did not record any embedded conversion liability related to the March 2020 Note. On April 29, 2020, the outstanding debt of $2,040,000, owed to the Investor pursuant to the March 2020 Note, was fully repaid. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $1,369,000 and $0 of interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts as a result of the passage of time and the payoff of the March 2020 Note. Payroll Protection Program Note Agreement On May 3, 2020, we received a loan (the “PPP Loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the aggregate amount of $847,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The PPP Loan was funded on May 7, 2020. The PPP Loan, which is in the form of a PPP promissory note and agreement, dated May 3, 2020 (the “PPP Note Agreement”), matures on May 3, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Pursuant to a change in guidance by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the initial monthly payment date of the PPP Note Agreement was deferred from November 1, 2020 to August 18, 2021. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by us at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We have used and intend to continue to use the PPP Loan amount for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, rent, and utilities. Under the terms of the PPP Note Agreement, certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses, as described in the PPP Note Agreement. 5. Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value. • Level 1 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 investments generally does not require significant judgment, and the estimation is not difficult. • Level 2 – Pricing is provided by third-party sources of market information obtained through investment advisors. The Company does not adjust for or apply any additional assumptions or estimates to the pricing information received from its advisors. F- 18 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 5. Fair Value Measurements, continued · Level 3 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments involves the most management judgment and subjectivity. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 by level within the fair value hierarchy, are as follows: (in thousands) December 31, 2020 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Liabilities: Derivative liability $ - $ - $ 387 Warrant liability $ - $ - $ 8 (in thousands) December 31, 2019 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Liabilities: Derivative liability $ - $ - $ 387 Warrant liability $ - $ - $ 24 There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019. Warrant Liability The following table includes a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s warrant liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: For The Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 24 $ 210 Additions - 18 Change in fair value (16 ) (204 ) Ending balance $ 8 $ 24 The changes in fair value of the warrant liability are recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. F- 19 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 5. Fair Value Measurements, continued A summary of the weighted average significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liability that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: As of December 31, 2020 2019 Common Stock Price $ 3.70 $ 12.20 Term (Years) 2.26 3.26 Volatility 112 % 62 % Risk-free rate of interest 0.13 % 1.62 % Dividend Yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Derivative Liability The following table includes a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: For The Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 387 $ - Additions - 216 Change in fair value - 171 Ending balance $ 387 $ 387 As of December 31, 2020, the Company measured the fair value of the derivative related to the convertible preferred stock by estimating the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock as if conversion occurred on December 31, 2020. The Company calculated value of the conversion feature using the Fixed Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, as adjusted to 95% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the previous ten trading days and the specified floor price of $30.00. There was no change in the fair value of the derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2020 because the volume weighted average price of the common stock was below the specified floor price. 6. Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity Series A 8% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock On April 18, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, with Ms. Walsh (the “Preferred SPA”), pursuant to which we issued 250,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which shares have a stated value of $4.00 (the “Stated Value”), grant holders the same voting rights as holders of our shares of common stock, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at price of $80.00 per share, subject to a floor price of $30.00 and to adjustment under our Certificate of Designations of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), in consideration for $1,000,000 (the “Initial Tranche”). The Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in tranches of at least $500,000 and in an aggregate of up to $5 million. In connection with the Initial Tranche, the Company also issued to Ms. Walsh a warrant to purchase 12,756 shares of our common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock contains an embedded conversion feature that the Company has determined is a derivative requiring bifurcation. The fair value of the derivative liability at the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock was $216,000, which was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset recorded as a discount to the Series A Preferred Stock. (See Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for the fair value computation.) F- 20 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 6. Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity, continued The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and liquidation preferences as of December 31, 2020, were as follows: Number Proceeds Number of Shares Net of Conversion of Shares Issued and Issuance Price per Liquidation Authorized Outstanding Costs Share Preference Series A 8 % Senior Convertible Preferred Stock 1,250,000 250,000 $ 920,000 $ 80.00 $ 1,136,000 The Series A Preferred Stock rights, privileges and preferences are as follows: Dividends — The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 8% per annum, payable on conversion. The form of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock will be determined based on the legal availability of funds for the payment and the satisfaction of the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the payment date. The form of the payment, depending on the priority, may be made in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s option. If funds are not available and the Equity Conditions have not been met, the dividends will accrue to the next payment date or accrete to the Stated Value. The Company accrued dividends of $80,000 and $56,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Liquidation Rights — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages before any distribution will be made to holders of junior securities. If assets are insufficient for such payment, then the entire assets will be distributed only to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. A fundamental or change of control transaction is not deemed a liquidation. Conversion — Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for certain events, including dilutive issuances, stock splits, and reclassifications) determined by multiplying such number by the ratio of the Stated Value by a conversion price, which price is originally equal to $80.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). However, if the closing price of the common stock is less than the Fixed Conversion Price, then the Fixed Conversion Price may be reduced to equal 95% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock for the previous 10 trading days, which price shall not be less than $30. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Company obtains stockholder approval pursuant to the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company cannot issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in the event that such issuance exceeds 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 18, 2019 or if such conversion is considered a “change of control” under Nasdaq rules and regulations. Voting Rights — Each holder has the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such preferred stock could be converted. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval of more than 67% of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting together as a separate class (a) alter or amend the Certificate of Designations or alter or change adversely the powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, including amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner adversely affecting the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock; (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock; (c) increase the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. F- 21 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 6. Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity, continued Redemption — The Series A Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable as it does not have a set redemption date or a date after which the shares may be redeemed by the holders. However, if a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) occurs, then each holder will receive 120% of the aggregate Stated Value, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and any other fees or liquidated damages. Additionally, upon such an event, the divided rate of the Series A Preferred Stock increases to 18% per annum. A Triggering Event is defined as any (1) default on credit obligations; (2) default on payment of certain Series A Preferred Stock payments or a default under the Certificate of Designations and any related transaction document entered into in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock; (3) bankruptcy of the Company; (4) ineligibility for listing of the Company’s common stock on a trading market; (5) change of control or fundamental transaction entered into by the Company, or other transaction entered into by the Company where more than 51% of the Company’s assets are sold; (6) failure of the Company to perform certain regulatory reporting; (7) failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of common stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (8) failure of the Company to maintain a sufficient number of reserved shares pursuant to the Preferred SPA; and (9) judgment is entered or filed against the Company or its subsidiaries in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 or the Company or any of its subsidiaries experiences a loss of property in excess of an aggregate of $100,000. The Company has elected not to adjust the carrying values of the Series A Preferred Stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because it is uncertain whether or when an event would occur that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation preferences to holders of shares and at the balance sheet date, these circumstances were not probable. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of the liquidation preferences will be made only when it becomes probable that such a liquidation event will occur. Rights Upon a Subsequent Financing — So long as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock hold such shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to or exceeding $250,000, upon any issuance of shares of our common stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Preferred SPA), conventional debt or a combination of such securities and/or debt (a “Subsequent Financing”), unless the proposed terms of a Subsequent Financing shall have first been delivered to such holders in reasonable detail and such holders have first been granted the option to purchase such securities pursuant to such terms, such holders have the right to purchase all, and no less than all, of the securities offered to investors in a Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. In addition, so long as holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock hold such shares with an aggregate Stated Value equal to or exceeding $500,000, if we effect a Subsequent Financing, such holders have a right to tender shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the securities offered pursuant to a Subsequent Financing. Subsequent Equity Sales — In the event that we or any of our subsidiaries issue additional shares of common stock and/or common stock equivalents in connection with a financing pursuant to which the effective price per share for such securities is less than the then conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock, then subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, such conversion price will be reduced to such the effective price of such issued securities. Common Stock On January 30, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the establishment of the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and termination of its Carve-Out Plan (the “Plan”). Under the LTIP, the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the LTIP pursuant to awards of Restricted Shares or Options will be limited to 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock , which calculation shall be made on the first trading day of each new fiscal year; provided that, in any year no more than 8% of the common stock or derivative securitization with common stock underlying 8% of the common stock may be issued in any fiscal year. Thereafter, the 15% evergreen provision governs the LTIP. For fiscal year 2021, up to 672,180 shares of common stock are available for participants under the LTIP. In connection with the termination of the Plan, on January 31, 2018, the Company issued to its employees and directors 64,224 and 7,656, shares of restricted common stock (“January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant”), respectively. Such shares of restricted common stock were granted outside the LTIP’s first year share availability pool, are fully vested, and will be released to the employees and directors in three tranches at the rate of 33.4%, 33.3% and 33.3% on September 1, 2018, March 1, 2019 and September 1, 2019, respectively. In the event an employee voluntarily resigns, the release dates of the shares will be extended such that only 16.5% of the shares are released every six months, until 100% are released.

Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity, continued On March 1, 2019 and September 1, 2019, the Company released its second and third tranches, respectively, of restricted shares under the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant. A portion of the restricted stock that was released was net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld were based on the value of the restricted stock on their release date as determined by our closing stock price. These net-share settlements had the effect of share repurchases as they reduced and retired the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the release and did not represent an expense to us. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 705 shares of restricted stock were released with an intrinsic value of approximately $3,000. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 47,168 shares of restricted stock were released with an intrinsic value of approximately $1.5 million. Of the restricted stock released, 18,141 shares were forfeited and we withheld 2,321 shares to satisfy approximately $87,000 of employees’ minimum tax obligation on the released restricted stock. As of December 31, 2020, there were 352 shares of restricted stock remaining under the January 2018 Restricted Stock Grant to be released to a terminated employee in March 2021. On January 4, 2019, the Company awarded 20,000 deferred shares to Michael Howse, a member of the Company’s board of directors, in connection with a Deferred Shares Agreement under the LTIP. The shares vest immediately prior to a significant change in ownership, defined as a Fundamental Transaction in the agreement. In light of this performance vesting condition, the Company has not recorded any stock-based compensation expense for the issuance of these shares during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. On September 9, 2019, the Company agreed to issue 7,500 shares of restricted common stock to George Oliva, the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, as an inducement grant. Such shares were issued outside the Company’s LTIP. Such shares shall be subject to annual vesting over a period of four years beginning September 1, 2019. The Company will record stock-based compensation expense over the four-year vest period. Acceleration of Vesting of Restricted Stock On July 27, 2020, the Company fully accelerated the vesting terms of 39,429 outstanding shares of restricted common stock that had been previously awarded under the LTIP and 7,500 outstanding shares of restricted common stock that had been previously awarded outside the LTIP to Mr. Oliva, such that all such stock awards were considered fully vested as of July 27, 2020. In connection with the acceleration of such vesting terms, the Company recorded a stock based compensation charge of $649,000 and recorded a bonus expense of $57,000, as the Company paid the payroll taxes imposed on the holders of such awards.

Warrant Amendment and Exercise Agreements Between September 25, 2019 and October 8, 2019, the Company and certain holders (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of the Company’s common stock purchase warrants, with exercise prices between $60.00 and $108 (collectively, the “Original Warrants”), including the Company’s Series D common stock purchase warrants, Series F common stock purchase warrants (the “Series F Warrants”) and Series G common stock purchase warrants (the “Series G Warrants”), entered into Warrant Amendment and Exercise Agreements (the “Warrant Amendment Agreements”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of each Original Warrant to $16 (the “Reduced Exercise Price”), and for each Original Warrant exercised by a Holder at the Reduced Exercise Price, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of Original Warrants to purchase up to an equivalent number of shares of common stock (the “Amended Warrants”) to $15.80 (the “Amended Exercise Price”). The Company entered into Warrant Amendment Agreements with 32 Holders, under which Original Warrants were exercised for a total of 56,419 shares of common stock and the Company received gross proceeds of $903,000. The net proceeds to the Company, after commissions and legal expenses, were approximately $840,000. Remaining Original Warrants for 69,070 shares of common stock had their exercise price adjusted to the Amended Exercise Price of $15.80. A modification to the price of a warrant is treated as an exchange of the original warrant for a new warrant. The calculation of the incremental value associated with the new warrant is based on the excess of the fair value of the modified warrant based on current assumptions over the fair value of the original warrant measured immediately before its price is modified based on current assumptions. The total incremental stock-based compensation expense was $892,000 recorded in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal year 2019.

From November 3, 2019 to November 6, 2019, the Company entered into settlement agreements (each a “Settlement Agreement” and collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”) with each of the Holders (other than the Medalist Funds (as defined herein), whose Settlement Agreement is described below) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue such Holders an aggregate of 7,647 additional shares of common stock, with such shares meant to compensate such Holders for the difference between the Amended Exercise Price and the lower priced shares that were offered to investors in connection with the Company’s earlier registered direct offering of an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock, priced at $0.70 per share, that the Company closed on October 16, 2019 (the “Registered Direct Offering”). In addition, pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, the Company and the Holders agreed to extend the date by which the Company would file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register all of the Resale Shares from November 4, 2019 to November 18, 2019.

Income Taxes, continued Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are presented below: Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss $ 10,560 $ 7,170 Accruals and reserves 104 80 Amortization of intangible assets 1,635 1,983 Other 209 206 Gross deferred tax assets 12,508 9,439 Valuation allowance (12,449 ) (9,382 ) Total deferred tax assets 59 57 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaid expenses (59 ) (57 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (59 ) (57 ) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses; the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible. At present, the Company does not believe that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance was maintained, and no deferred tax assets were shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation allowance increased by $3,067,000 and $2,599,000 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to the tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. On December 21, 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Consolidation Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “CAA Act”). The tax provisions under the CARES Act and CAA Act, do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 given the existence of a full valuation allowance. On June 29, 2020, California Assembly Bill 85 (“AB 85”) was signed into law, which suspends the use of California net operating losses and limits the use of California research tax credits for tax years beginning in 2020 and before 2023. The Company does not expect the suspension of net operating losses to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $37,739,000. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $37,735,000, which will begin to expire in 2038. Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations in the event of a Section 382 ownership change. Such future limitations could result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization as a result of such an ownership change. F- 31 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 7. Income Taxes, continued Provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to the loss before provision for income taxes as a result of the following: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2020 2019 Effective tax rate reconciliation: Income tax provision at statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal benefit - (0.1 ) Other permanent differences (3.6 ) (1.2 ) Change in valuation allowance (17.4 ) (19.7 ) Provision for income taxes - % - % Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is zero. The Company has not incurred any material tax interest or penalties as of December 31, 2020. The Company does not anticipate any significant change within 12 months of this reporting date of its uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s various tax years 2018 through 2020 remain open for examination by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not accrued any penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions. 8. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases The Company rents its Beaverton, Oregon office under an operating lease, which was set to expire on October 31, 2020. Under the terms of the lease, the Company is responsible for taxes, insurance and maintenance expense. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. On August 18, 2020, the Company signed an operating lease that begins November 1, 2020, to rent office space in Beaverton Oregon, to replace the lease that expired on October 31, 2020. The new lease expires on January 31, 2024. The following are the annual minimum lease payments for the four years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024: $163,000, $153,000, $173,000, and $15,000. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $332,000 and $378,000, respectively. Capital Leases During August 2020, the Company entered in to a lease agreement for equipment under a capital lease with a term of 36 months. The equipment under the lease is collateral for the agreement and is included within property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. F- 32 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 8. Commitments and Contingencies, continued Future minimum lease commitments for the capital lease as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: (in thousands) Payments due in: Year ending December 31, 2021 $ 26 Year ending December 31, 2022 26 Year ending December 31, 2023 15 Total minimum lease payments 67 Less: Amounts representing interest (5 ) Present value of capital lease obligations 62 Less: Current portion of capital lease liabilities 23 Capital lease liabilities $ 39 Obligations under the capital lease are included in accrued liabilities and capital lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of a possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred. On April 3, 2020, we received a letter (the “April 3rd Alexander Counsel Letter”) from counsel for Alexander alleging that we were in apparent breach of the Alexander Engagement Agreement, which appointed Alexander as our exclusive placement agent and financial advisor, due to our consummation of the March 2020 Private Placement, in which Maxim acted as placement agent. Such letter also claimed that due to such alleged breach, and in accordance with the terms of the Alexander Engagement Agreement, we owed Alexander an aggregate of $170,000 and warrants to purchase up to 22,768 shares of common stock in connection with the March 2020 Private Placement. The April 3rd Alexander Counsel Letter further stated that Alexander would be willing to forego any claim to the issuance of warrants to it and to settle the dispute in consideration of our payment of $170,000 (the “Alexander Settlement Offer”). By letter dated April 7, 2020, we responded to the April 3rd Alexander Counsel Letter and disputed Alexander’s claims. On April 10, 2020, we received a second letter (the “April 10th Alexander Counsel Letter”), from Alexander’s counsel, responding to our April 7th letter and which disputed all of our arguments relating to the termination of the Alexander Engagement Agreement; (ii) appeared to withdraw the Alexander Settlement Offer; and (iii) referred to the engagement of Maxim as underwriter in connection with the April 2020 Public Offering, claimed that such engagement is a further breach of the Alexander Engagement Agreement and states that Alexander believes that it would be entitled to seek further damages for breach. Additionally, there was language in the April 10th Alexander Counsel Letter stating that if we had engaged Maxim prior to closing a financing on February 28, 2020 in which Alexander was placement agent, without disclosing our prior engagement of Maxim to investors in that financing, that this would raise additional issues. Finally, Alexander demanded that we cease the April 2020 Public Offering immediately and that if we proceeded with such offering, it would seek to be compensated as if it had acted as underwriter in such offering. On April 16, 2020, we received a third letter from Alexander’s counsel that Alexander intended to file an action in connection with such claims. F- 33 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 8. Commitments and Contingencies, continued On May 14, 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with Alexander (the “Alexander Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which, in consideration for Alexander releasing us from all claims against us arising out of that certain engagement agreement, dated February 6, 2020, that we entered into with Alexander (the “Alexander Engagement Agreement”), other than indemnification for certain third-party claims, we agreed to (i) pay Alexander a one-time cash payment of $125,000 and (ii) issue to Alexander 50,000 shares of our common stock (the “Alexander Settlement Shares”) which had a value of approximately $111,000. We also released Alexander from the same type of claims against Alexander, other than indemnification for certain third-party claims. Upon signing the Alexander Settlement Agreement, the Company recorded a charge of $236,000 to general and administrative expense in the year ended December 31, 2020. On November 9, 2020, in order to resolve a dispute between certain investors (the “February 2020 Holders”) and the Company regarding certain registration rights in connection with the February 2020 Private Placement, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with each of the February 2020 Holders (the “February 2020 Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) the Company and the February 2020 Holders agreed to amend the original warrants issued in February 2020 (the “Original Warrants”) to provide for the purchase of one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock available under the Original Warrants, (ii) the Company and the February 2020 Holders agreed to amend the Original Warrants to reduce the exercise price to $2.55, and (iii) the Company agreed to issue an additional 236,375 shares of common stock and 236,369 common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 236,369 shares of common stock. As consideration for the foregoing, the February 2020 Holders agreed to release any and all claims they may have against the Company, including, but not limited to, claims arising in connection with any securities held by the February 2020 Holders. Upon signing the February 2020 Settlement Agreement, the Company recorded a charge of $801,000 to general and administrative expense in the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 9.

F- 35 Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 10. Related Parties, continued Pursuant to Warrant Amendment Agreements that were entered into with each of the Medalist Funds, with respect to the Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants, if the exercise of an original warrant at the Reduced Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant Amendment Agreements) would cause each of the Medalist Funds to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, in lieu of receiving such number of shares of common stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company will only issue such number of shares of common stock to each of the Medalist Funds as would not cause each of the Medalist Funds to exceed the maximum number of shares of common stock permitted under the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and each of the Medalist Funds shall be issued, at an exercise price equal to the Reduced Exercise Price less $15.80 per share, pre-funded common stock purchase warrants covering such number of shares of common stock as would otherwise have been in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In connection with such exercises, the Medalist Funds were issued pre-funded common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,722 shares of common stock. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $327,000 in connection with the purchase of such pre-funded common stock purchase warrants.
