Minim,
Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Minim, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related
notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial
Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and will need additional
funding within the next twelve months. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue
Recognition
As
described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods and
services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for these goods and services. The Company offers customers the ability to purchase their hardware products along with Software-as-a-Service
(“SaaS”) offerings as a bundled arrangement. The Company must determine which promises are distinct performance obligations
and allocate the revenue to the performance obligations that are considered distinct based upon their relative Stand-alone Selling Price
(SSP). Revenue allocated to hardware is recognized at a point in time upon delivery and revenue allocated to the SaaS is recognized over
time over the estimated life of the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
We
identified the identification of distinct performance obligations and the allocation of arrangement consideration as a critical audit
matter because of the significant judgments made by the Company in determining revenue recognition. Auditing management’s judgments
regarding the identification of performance obligations and the allocation of arrangement consideration involved a high degree of auditor
judgment and increased effort.
Our
audit procedures related to the identification of distinct performance obligations and the allocation of arrangement consideration included
the following, among others:
●
We
evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to these customer agreements for reasonableness.
●
We
obtained and read a sample of revenue contracts and evaluated the completeness of the performance obligations identified by management,
and performed an evaluation of whether these performance obligations were distinct and capable of being distinct.
●
We
tested the reasonableness of the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation by comparing management’s
allocation to the historical pricing for each performance obligations when they are sold separately.
●
For
each sample of revenue contracts with multiple performance obligations, we also tested the allocation of the transaction price to
each performance obligation based upon the SSP.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Minim,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cadence Connectivity, Inc., MTRLC LLC, and Minim Asia
Private Limited, are herein collectively referred to as “Minim” or the “Company”. The Company delivers intelligent
networking products that reliably and securely connect homes and offices around the world. We are the exclusive global license holder
to the Motorola brand for home networking hardware. The Company designs and manufactures products including cable modems, cable modem/routers,
mobile broadband modems, wireless routers, Multimedia over Coax (“MoCA”) adapters and mesh home networking devices. Our AI-driven
cloud software platform and applications make network management and security simple for home and business users, as well as the service
providers that assist them— leading to higher customer satisfaction and decreased support burden.
On
January 21, 2022, Zoom Connectivity, Inc. filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its
Certificate of Incorporation to change its legal corporate name from “Zoom Connectivity, Inc.” to “Cadence Connectivity,
Inc.”, effective as of January 21, 2022.
Going Concern
The Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as of December 31, 2022, substantial doubt exists
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows
from operations, and our ability to continue as a
going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies,
reduce or contain expenditures and increase revenues. The Company’s debt financing
arrangements through the SVB Loan Agreement and Bridge Loan Agreement expire on January 15, 2024, and we will need to refinance both
agreements prior to the expiration date. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 530 thousand and
during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $ 15.5 million.
The Company will require additional liquidity to continue operations beyond the next 12 months.
The
Company is evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations.
These strategies may include but are not limited to equity offerings, debt financings, and cost reductions. However, given a variety
of external factors including the impact of the recent economic downturn in the U.S. and global financial markets, the Company may be
unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed. The Company may engage in cost-cutting measures in an attempt to extend
its cash resources. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under
acceptable terms, if at all. The Company believes that it can be successful in obtaining debt refinancing; however, no assurance can
be provided that it will be able to do so.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, do not include
any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the
Company were unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and is therefore unable to
continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried
on its consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment.
Liquidity
The
Company’s operations have historically been financed through the issuance of common stock and borrowings. Since inception, the
Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company
incurred a net loss of $ 15.5 million and used cash in operations of $ 12.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $ 74.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $ 530 thousand and restricted cash of $ 500 thousand. The SVB Loan Agreement
and Bridge Loan expire on January 15, 2024, and the Company will have to refinance both debt arrangements prior to the expiration date. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company has implemented cost reduction plans to align its cost structure to its
sales and increase its liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor its cost in relation to its sales and adjust its cost structure
accordingly. Management of the
Company believes it will not have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern through at least one year from the issuance of these financial
statements.
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Certain
amounts in the consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated
using unrounded amounts.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These
judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the Company include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, the allowance for
doubtful accounts (collectability); contract liabilities (sales returns); valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets;
write-downs of inventory for slow-moving and obsolete items and stock-based compensation. The Company evaluates its estimates and
assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts
and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions and the
differences may be material.
Foreign
Currencies
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company generates a portion of its revenues in markets outside North America
principally in transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which exposes the Company to risks of foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign
currency transaction gains (losses) are included in the consolidated statements of operations under other income (expense).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash,
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the restricted cash balance of $ 500 thousand, respectively, relates to letters of credit to support a
bond on tariffs.
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to
be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s cash equivalents were held in institutions in the U.S. and
include deposits in higher-interest bank accounts which were unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash
and accounts receivable. Substantially all the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held at one financial
institution, Silicon Valley Bank, which was placed into receivership by the FDIC on March 9, 2023. On March 10, 2023, the Silicon Valley
Bank depositor accounts and loan facilities, including the Company’s bank accounts and line of credit, were transferred to Silicon
Valley Bridge Bank. Through Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, the Company’s bank balances are fully insured by the FDIC and the line
of credit facility remains operational, allowing the Company to draw from it as required. The Company has not experienced any credit
losses on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash through December 31, 2022 and has not experienced any credit losses as of
the date of filing this Form 10-K
F- 7
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 10% or greater individually, and 87 % in the aggregate of the Company’s
total net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2021, two customers accounted for 10% or greater individually, and 92 % in the aggregate
of the Company’s total net sales. Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company does not require collateral; however, the Company
does assess the collectability of accounts receivable based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with, and the
creditworthiness of, the customer. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with accounts receivable. At December
31, 2022, two customers with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted for a combined 75 % of the Company’s
accounts receivable. At December 31, 2021, four customers with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted
for a combined 86 % of the Company’s accounts receivable. To reduce risk, the Company closely monitors the amounts due from its
customers and assesses the financial strength of its customers through a variety of methods that include, but are not limited to, engaging
directly with customer operations and leadership personnel, visiting customer locations to observe operating activities, and assessing
customer longevity and reputation in the marketplace. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure
is limited.
The
Company depends on many third-party suppliers for key components contained in its product offerings. For some of these components, the
Company may only use a single source supplier, in part due to the lack of alternative sources of supply. During 2022 and 2021, the Company
had two and one suppliers that provided 93 % and 97 %, respectively, of the Company’s purchased inventory.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts
receivable are recorded at invoice value, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. Estimates of the allowance for doubtful accounts
are determined based on existing contractual payment terms, historical payment patterns of customers and individual customer circumstances.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure or inability of its customers
to make required payments. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers the probability of recoverability
of its accounts receivable based on past experience, taking into account current collection trends as well as general economic factors.
Credit risks are assessed based on historical write-offs, net of recoveries, as well as analysis of the aged accounts receivables balances
with allowances generally increasing as the receivables age.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method, which approximates
actual costs as determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs
for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimate of demand for its products, potential obsolescence of technology,
product life cycles and whether pricing trends or forecasts indicate that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its estimated selling
price. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes and new product introductions and require significant
estimates that may include elements that are uncertain. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and may have a material effect
on gross profit. If inventory is written down, a new cost basis is established that cannot be increased in future periods. The carrying
value of inventories is reduced for any difference between cost and net realizable value of inventories that is determined to be obsolete
or unmarketable, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Equipment,
net
Equipment
is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets, which is generally three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant
improvements that substantially enhance the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. When assets are retired or disposed
of, the cost together with related accumulated depreciation is removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected
in the Company’s statements of operations in the period realized.
Goodwill
The
Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a business acquisition exceeds the value of the net assets acquired. The Company’s
estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, but such estimates are inherently uncertain
and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which may affect
the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested for impairment
annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if facts and circumstances warrant a review. Circumstances that could trigger an impairment
test include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors, an adverse action or assessment
by a regulator, or unanticipated competition. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of conducting
the goodwill impairment assessment. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, we first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If after assessing the totality of
events or circumstances, we determine that it is more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is required. The quantitative goodwill impairment test requires us
to estimate and compare the fair value of the reporting unit, determined using an income approach and a market approach, with its carrying
value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value
of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss up to the amount of goodwill.
Application
of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including identification of the reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting
units, a qualitative assessment to determine whether there are any impairment indicators, and determining the fair value of each
reporting unit which often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future
cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives and market multiples, among other items. There is no assurance that the
actual future earnings or cash flows of the reporting unit will not decline significantly from the projections used in the
impairment analysis. As part of the Company’s annual impairment test, which determined that the carrying amount of its single reporting unit exceeded its fair value, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$ 59
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Intangible
Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Intangible
assets are comprised of developed technology (ERP system), purchased technology (web domain), and customer relationships acquired through
business combinations. All of the Company’s intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful life.
The
Company capitalizes certain implementation costs related to its cloud-based enterprise resourcing planning (“ERP”) system.
Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are
expensed as incurred. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditures
will result in additional functionality. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life, however there were no capitalized costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
F- 8
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is
based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over their estimated economic life to
the related carrying value of those assets to determine if the assets are impaired. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written
down to its estimated fair value. The cash flow estimates used to identify the potential impairment reflect our best estimates using
appropriate assumptions and projections at that time. In evaluating potential impairment of these assets, we specifically consider whether
any indicators of impairment are present, including, but not limited to:
●
whether
there has been a significant adverse change in the business climate that affects the value of an asset:
●
whether
there has been a significant change in the extent or way an asset is used; and
●
whether
there is an expectation that the asset will be sold or disposed of before the end of its originally estimated useful life.
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 67 thousand related to its customer relationships, which
is associated with the Company’s ISP business that is being discontinued. The Company’s other intangible assets and long-lived assets were determined to
not be impaired as of December 31, 2022.
Leases
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether
it has the right to control the identified asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying
asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term.
ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement
and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.
As
the implicit rate in the Company’s leases is generally unknown, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information
available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease terms may include options to extend
or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise such options. Lease costs for the Company’s operating
leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term. Variable lease payments include lease operating
expenses. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is included in
general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
The
Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases within its existing classes of assets and, as a result,
accounts for any lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition
requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase
the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Other
Assets
Other
assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and primarily include certain certification costs and long-term insurance policies.
Certain certification costs incurred that are necessary to market and sell products are capitalized and reported as “other assets”
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets when the costs are measurable, significant, and relating to products that are projected
to generate revenue beyond twelve months. These costs are amortized over an 18- month period, beginning when the related products are
available to be sold. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the balance outstanding for certifications costs, net of accumulated amortization,
was $ 402 thousand and $ 297 thousand, respectively.
The
long-term insurance policies are amortized over the term of the coverage period. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the balance outstanding
for long-term insurance policies, net of accumulated amortization, was $ 71 thousand and $ 142 thousand, respectively.
F- 9
Income
Taxes
We
compute deferred income taxes based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. We establish a valuation allowance to offset temporary
deductible differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
We
recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon
examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position
is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, changes in the tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected
to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a
tax position. Any changes to these estimates, based on the actual results obtained and/or a change in assumptions, could impact our tax
provision in future periods. Interest and penalty charges, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as a provision
for income tax in the consolidated statements of operations.
Loss
Per Common Share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the
purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.
Stock options that are antidilutive are excluded from the calculation.
Net
loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are as follows:

respectively, since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The common share equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of outstanding stock options.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company primarily sells hardware products to its customers. The hardware products include cable modems and gateways, mobile broadband
modems, wireless routers, MoCA adapters and mesh home networking devices. The Company derives its net sales primarily from the sales
of hardware products to computer peripherals retailers, computer product distributors, OEMs, and direct to consumers and other channel
partners via the Internet. The Company accounts for point-of-sale taxes on a net basis.
The
Company also sells and earns revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”), including services that enables and secures a
better-connected home with the AI-driven smart home WiFi management and security platform. Customers do not have the contractual right
or ability to take possession of the hosted software.
The
Company has concluded that transfer of control of its hardware products transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending
on the delivery terms of the purchase agreement. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized at a point in time upon transfer
of control.
F- 10
The
SaaS agreements are offered over a defined contract period, generally one year, and are sold to Internet service providers, who then
promote the services to their subscribers. These services are available as an on-demand application over the defined term. The agreements
include service offerings, which deliver applications and technologies via cloud-based deployment models that the Company develops functionality
for, provides unspecified updates and enhancements for, and hosts, manages, provides upgrade and support for the customers’ access
by entering into solution agreements for a stated period. The monthly fees charged to the customers are based on the number of subscribers
utilizing the services each month, and the revenue recognized generally corresponds to the monthly billing amounts as the services are
delivered.
Multiple
Performance Obligations
The
Company has hardware products that include SaaS services as a bundled product. The Company accounts for these sales in accordance with
the multiple performance obligation guidance of ASC Topic 606. For multiple performance obligation contracts, the Company accounts for
the promises separately as individual performance obligations if they are distinct. Performance obligations are determined to be distinct
if they are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations
meet the criteria of being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as degree of interrelation and interdependence between
obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. SaaS
included with certain hardware products is considered distinct from the hardware, and therefore the hardware and SaaS offerings are treated
as separate performance obligations.
After
identifying the separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate obligations on a relative standalone
selling price basis (“SSP”). SSP’s are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the performance
obligation is sold separately or using an adjusted market assessment. The estimated SSP of the hardware and SaaS offerings are directly
observable from the sales of those products and SaaS based on a range of prices.
Revenue
is recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products
bundled with SaaS offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated
to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a three-year period
that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.
Other
considerations of ASC 606 include the following:
●
Returned Goods - analyses of actual returned products are compared to the product return estimates and historically have resulted
in immaterial differences. The Company has concluded that the current process of estimating the return reserve represents a fair measure
to adjust revenue. Returned goods are a form of variable consideration and under ASC Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction
of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The sales returns accrual was $ 982 thousand and $ 1.6
million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
●
Warranties - the Company does not offer its customers a separate warranty for purchase. Therefore, there is no separate performance
obligation. The Company accrues for assurance-type warranties, which do not include any additional distinct services other than the assurance
that the goods comply with agreed-upon specifications. The warranty reserve was not material at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
●
Price protection - if the Company reduces the price on any products sold to the customer, the Company will guarantee an account
credit for the price difference for all quantities of that product that the customer still holds. Price protection is variable and under
ASC Topic 606 is estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of
goods). The price protection accrual was not material at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
●
Volume Rebates and Promotion Programs - volume rebates are variable dependent upon the volume of goods sold-through the Company’s
customers to end-users and under ASC Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are
satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The rebate and promotion accrual was no t material at December 31, 2022, and $ 175 thousand at
December 31, 2021, respectively.
F- 11
Contract
Balances
Accounts
receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to the consideration. When the timing of the Company’s delivery
of goods or services is different from the timing of payments made by customers, the Company recognize either a contract asset (performance
precedes contractual due date) or a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). When a customer prepays, that payment
is reflected as deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables (see
Note 5).
The
Company’s business is controlled as a single operating segment that consists of the manufacture and sale of cable modems and gateway,
and the majority of the Company’s customers are retailers and distributors.
Stock-Based
Compensation Expense
Stock-based
compensation expense relates to stock options with a service condition and restricted stock units (RSUs). Stock-based compensation expense
for the Company’s stock-based awards is based on their grant date fair value.
Service-based
options initially granted to an optionee generally vest at a rate of 25 % on the first anniversary of the original vesting date, with
the balance vesting monthly over the remaining three years. The fair value of stock options with a service condition on the grant date
is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of these awards is recognized as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest and forfeitures are recognized as they
occur.
The
Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of service-based stock options. These variables
include the per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual
dividend yield and expected stock price volatility over the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available
on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.
RSUs
initially granted to an optionee generally vest at a rate of 25 % on the first anniversary of the original vesting date, with the balance
vesting quarterly over the remaining three years. The fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock
on the date of grant.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred and reported in selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and include
costs of advertising, production, trade shows, and other activities designed to enhance demand for the Company’s products. The
Company reported advertising costs of approximately $ 4.0 million and $ 2.8 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Shipping
and Freight Costs
The
Company records the expense associated with customer-delivery shipping and freight costs in selling and marketing expense. The Company
reported shipping and freight costs of $ 452 thousand and $ 334 thousand in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Segment
The
Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews
financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s
primary operation is in the United States, and it has derived substantially all of its revenue from sales to customers in the U.S.
The
Company has operated a manufacturing facility in Mexico since 2014. The Company has long-lived tangible assets as well as two operating
leases located in Mexico.

Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU
2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is intended to improve consistent
application and simplify the accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740
and clarifies and amends existing guidance. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021. The adoption had no impact
on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments Credit Losses — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ”
ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount
expected to be collected, which includes the Company’s accounts receivable. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
There
have been no other new accounting pronouncements that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows .

PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
On
July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative (the “Representative”)
of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue
and sell an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to the Underwriters (the “Public Offering”).
The shares of Common Stock were sold to the public at an offering price of $ 2.50 per share and were purchased by the Underwriters from
the Company at a price of $ 2.32715 per share. On August 2, 2021, the Company received $ 22.7 million in aggregate net proceeds after deducting
Underwriters’ discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses after issuing 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock through the Public Offering.

SALE OF ZOOM® TRADEMARK
On
August 12, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Zoom Video Communications, Inc. to sell, and sold, all of the Company’s
right, title and interest in the ZOOM® trademark for cash consideration in the amount of $ 4.0 million, net of legal costs incurred
of $ 44 thousand. The Company did not have a carrying basis in the trademark that was subject to the agreement and recorded income of
approximately $ 4.0 million, which is recorded in income from continuing operations pursuant to ASC 360-10, Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. Under the terms on the agreement, the Company was allowed to use and sell the product under the ZOOM® trademark
until February 11, 2022.

REVENUE AND OTHER CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue
is recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products
bundled with SaaS offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated
to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a three-year period
that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.
Transaction
Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The
remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially
unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations consist of contract
liabilities, in-transit orders with destination terms, and non-cancellable backlog. Non-cancellable backlog includes goods for which
customer purchase orders have been accepted, that are scheduled or in the process of being scheduled for shipment, and that are not yet
invoiced.
As
of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to SaaS
performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $ 1.4 million, which is recorded as deferred revenue on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Of that amount, $ 634 thousand will be recognized as revenue during the year ended December
31, 2023, and $ 772 thousand thereafter.
Contract
costs
The
Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to
be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain sales commissions meet the requirements to be capitalized, and the Company
amortizes these costs on a consistent basis with the pattern of transfer of the goods and services in the contract. Total capitalized
costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in other current and long-term assets on our
consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company applied a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one
year or less. These costs include sales commissions on software maintenance contracts with a contract period of one year or less as sales
commissions on contract renewals are commensurate with those paid on the initial contract.
Contract
Balances
The
Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. Contract liabilities consist of deferred
revenue, which represents payments received in advance of revenue recognition related to SaaS agreements and for prepayments for products
or services yet to be delivered.
Payment
terms vary by customer. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer
types, payment is required before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

Goodwill
In
December 2018, Cadence Connectivity acquired the net assets of MCP Networks Inc., a provider of a cloud-based home network
management platform. The acquisition expanded Cadence Connectivity’s subscriber base and thereby offered sales opportunities
of Cadence Connectivity’s SaaS to these subscribers. Cadence Connectivity recorded $ 58
thousand of goodwill related to this acquisition in its historical accounts of December 2018. As of December 31, 2022, the Company
determined that the goodwill was impaired after the annual impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the Company’s
single reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value and accordingly recorded a $ 59
thousand impairment charge to general and administrative expense in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company had no
impairment.

accounts of December 2018. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the intangible asset of customer relationships was impaired
as result of the Company’s discontinuation of the ISP business to which these customers are associated and accordingly recorded
a $ 67 thousand impairment, net of accumulated amortization, to sales and marketing expense in the statement of operations. As of December

BANK CREDIT LINE AND GOVERNMENT LOANS
Bank
Credit Line
On
March 12, 2021, the Company terminated its Financing Agreement and entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank
(the “SVB Loan Agreement”). On November 1, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the SVB Loan Agreement (the
“First Amendment”). The SVB Loan Agreement, as amended, provides for a revolving facility up to a principal amount of $ 25.0
million. The borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 85.0 percent of eligible customer receivables, plus (b) the least of (i) 60 percent
of the value of eligible inventory (valued at cost), (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of inventory, and (iii) $6.2 million
in each, as determined by SVB from the Company’s most recent borrowing base statement; provided that SVB has the right to decrease
the foregoing percentages in its good faith business judgement to mitigate the impact of events, conditions, contingencies, or risks
which may adversely affect the collateral or its value .
The
SVB Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets but excludes the Company’s intellectual property.
Loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) at all times when a streamline period is in effect, the
greater of (a) one-half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate or (b) three and three-quarters of one percent (3.75%) and (ii) at
all times when a streamline period is not effect, the greater of (a) one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate and (b) four and one-quarter
of one percent (4.25%) .
On
December 12, 2022, the Company entered into its second Amendment to the SVB Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The
Second Amendment (i) reduced the aggregate amount available under the revolving credit line from $ 25 million to $ 10 million, (ii) extends
maturity to January 15, 2024, and (iii) provides a waiver for an existing default under the SVB Loan Agreement by virtue of the Company
having entered into a Bridge Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2022 by and among Borrower and Slingshot Capital, LLC,
under which Borrower incurred certain Indebtedness and granted a Lien to Slingshot Capital.
F- 17
The
Company incurred $ 143 thousand in origination costs in connection with entering into the SVB Loan Agreement. These origination costs
were recorded as a debt discount and are being expensed over the remaining term of the facility. Interest expense was $ 71 thousand and
$ 70 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 4.8 million outstanding, net of origination costs of $ 30 thousand, under the SVB Loan Agreement,

Valley Bridge Bank. The SVB Loan Agreement has been transferred to Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, and the revolving facility remains accessible
to the Company. On March 27, 2023, the SVB Loan Agreement was transferred to First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“First-Citizens”)
upon First-Citizens entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank.
Covenants
The
SVB Loan Agreement includes a minimum interest expense per month of $ 20 thousand. The First Amendment required the Company to maintain
certain levels of minimum adjusted EBITDA, which were tested on the last day of each calendar quarter and measured for the trailing 3-month
period ending on the last day of each quarter. The Second Amendment removed the minimum EBITDA covenants.
In
addition, pursuant to the SVB Loan Agreement, the Company cannot pay any dividends without the prior written consent of SVB.
Bridge
Loan
On
November 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and Slingshot Capital, LLC (“Slingshot Capital”) entered
into a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Slingshot Capital agreed to make available a
bridge loan in the principal amount up of up to $ 1,500,000 . In conjunction with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company executed a bridge
term note (the “Bridge Term Note”) in favor of Slingshot Capital. The Company has drawn down $ 1,000,000 under the Bridge
Loan Agreement. Subject to Slingshot Capital’s sole discretion, the other $ 500,000 may be drawn by the Company.
Principal
amounts borrowed under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear interest for the period from the Effective Date until February 28, 2023 of 8.00 %
per annum. Unpaid principal after February 28, 2023 bear an interest of 14.00 % per annum until paid in full. In the event of default,

In
connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company, Slingshot Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Senior Lender”)
executed a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) on November 30, 2022. The Loan Agreement is subordinated
to the outstanding indebtedness and obligations under the Company’s senior credit facility. Subject to the Senior Lender’s
written consent, the Company shall grant Slingshot Capital a second-priority security interest in all of the Company’s collateral,
which shall be subordinated to any and all security interests granted to the Senior Lender and at all times shall be limited to the same
collateral granted to the Senior Lender under the senior credit facility.
Principal
and interest are not due and payable until the maturity date, which is January 15, 2024, unless the Company’s senior credit facility
with the Senior Lender is paid in full in cash on an earlier date.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a)
Contingencies
The
Company is a party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates
such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are
without merit.
The
Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both
a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional
information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable
possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the
Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses, that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of
the loss cannot be made. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
In
the ordinary course of their business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal
proceedings in connection with their business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or
punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate
legal defences with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of these pending proceedings
is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However,
the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Equity
Compensation Plans
In
July 2019, the Company terminated the 2009 Stock Option Plan and the 2009 Directors Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”)
and adopted the 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “2019 Stock Options Plan”) and the 2019 Directors Option Plan (the “2019
Directors Option Plan”) (collectively, the “2019 Plans”, and together with the Prior Plans, the “Plans”).
The purpose of the 2019 Plans is to provide certain incentive and non-statutory stock options to employees, directors and certain non-employees.
As a result, the Company may not grant any additional awards under the Prior Plans. The Prior Plans will continue to govern outstanding
stock options previously granted thereunder. The Company has initially reserved 4,000,000 shares and 1,000,000 shares of common stock
for issuance of awards under the 2019 Stock Option Plans and the 2019 Directors Option Plan, respectively.
The
2019 Plans authorize grants to purchase shares of authorized but unissued common stock. Stock options can be granted with an exercise
price no less than or equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. All awards have 10-year terms. The 2019 Plans
permit incentive stock options, or ISOs and non-qualified stock options, or NSOs. If the stock options are granted to a 10 % stockholder,
then the exercise price per share may not be less than 110 % of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on
the grant date. The board of directors sets the fair value and exercise price for the underlying shares at the grant date.
On
November 9, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved of the Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and Non-Employee Directors
Compensation Plan (collectively, the “2021 Equity Plans”) and terminated the 2019 Plans. The purpose of the 2021 Equity Plans
is to provide certain incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights
to employees, directors, and certain non-employees. As a result, the Company may not grant any additional awards under the 2019 Plans.
The Prior Plans and the 2019 Plans will continue to govern outstanding stock options previously granted thereunder. The Company has initially
reserved 3,000,000 shares and 1,250,000 shares of common stock for issuance of awards under the Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and
Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan, respectively. On June 9, 2022, the 2021 Equity Plans were approved by the Company’s shareholders.

As
of December 31, 2022, the Company had Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 60.6 million which are available to
offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from 2023 to 2040. Federal net operating losses occurring after
December 31, 2017, of approximated $ 22.1 million may be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had state
net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 29.8 million which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to
expire in varying amounts from 2033 through 2040. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of net deferred income
tax assets as management has concluded that it is more-likely than-not that the benefits from such assets will not be realized. The total
valuation allowance increased by $ 1.3 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022.
The
Federal and state NOLs may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could significantly
restrict the Company’s ability to use the NOLs to offset taxable income in subsequent years.
As result
of changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, that became effective as of January 1, 2022, the company is now required to capitalize
for tax purposes certain research and development expenses and amortize domestic expenses over a 5 year period and foreign expenses over
a 15 year period, resulting in a deferred tax asset for the capitalized amounts as reflected in the above table.

The
Company reviews annually the guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions
recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. At December
31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions were accrued at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S., India, and Mexico. Tax years subsequent to 2016 remain subject to examination for both
U.S. Federal and state tax reporting purposes. Tax years subsequent to 2015 remain subject to examination for Mexico tax reporting purposes.
The foreign income tax reported represents tax on operations for the Company that is located in a special economic zone in Mexico. Other
than the Mexico facility, the Company has an India operation and has no other operations in a foreign location. The India operation had
no tax obligations as of December 31, 2022.

RETIREMENT PLAN
The
Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan for employees. On February 1, 2021, the Cadence Connectivity 401(k) Plan merged into
the Minim 401(k) Plan. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company increased the Company match to an amount not to exceed 3 % of an employee’s
contribution. Employees could contribute to the 401(k) up to 100 % of their wages with a maximum of $ 20,500 for 2022. Under the Economic
Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, employees who are age 50 or older could contribute an additional $ 6,500 per year for a maximum
of $ 27,000 for 2022. Contributions by the employees are invested in one or more funds at the direction of the employee; however, employee

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements
to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company evaluated
all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure, except
as described below.
Silicon
Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed on March 10, 2023, by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC transferred all
the deposits and substantially all of the assets of SVB to Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. (Bridge), a newly formed bridge bank that
will be operated by the FDIC as it markets the institution to potential bidders. On March 12, 2023, the Department of the Treasury, Federal
Reserve, and FDIC (collectively, the Agencies) announced that they were invoking the Systemic Risk Exception to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act to permit the FDIC to take action to fully protect all depositors of SVB, regardless of their deposit insurance coverage. In addition,
the Agencies also announced that SVB depositors would have access to all their money starting March 13, 2023, with the revolving facility
still accessible to the Company.
As
of March 10, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 1
million of cash and restricted cash on deposit with SVB, which represents approximately 100% of the Company’s total cash and
cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022. The Company also had an outstanding line-of-credit facility with SVB with a maximum
borrowing limit of $ 10.0
million, of which approximately $ 4.8
million was drawn as of December 31, 2022. Immediately prior to SVB’s closure on March 10, 2023, the Company had drawn $ 4.4
million and $ 4
thousand was available under the credit facility. As a result, the Company is working to identify replacement lenders for this
credit facility, which may be at less favorable terms, including higher interest rates and costs and more stringent financial and
operating covenants due to investor concerns regarding the U.S. financial system. These factors may make it more challenging for the
Company to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
March 30, 2023, the Board of Directors of Minim, Inc. approved a 1-for-25 reverse split of the Company’s
common stock to be effected through an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”).
The Amendment will not effect the number of shares of authorized common stock.
The
reverse stock split was subject to shareholder approval at a Special Shareholders Meeting (the “Special Meeting”), which
took place on March 28, 2023. A majority of shareholders voted in favor of the reverse stock split. The Company’s definitive
proxy statement relating to the Special Meeting filed on March 14, 2023, includes additional details regarding the
Amendment.
The
reverse stock split is expected to begin on a split-adjusted basis in April 2023 as the Company works with Regulatory authorities to
proceed.
All of the Company’s
historical shares and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding equity awards exercisable into
common stock in these consolidated financial statements will be adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the reverse stock split
in quarter ending March 31, 2023.
The
following unaudited pro forma selected financial information reflects the impact of the reverse stock split had the effective date of
the reverse stock been as of December 31, 2022. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not intended
to be a projection of future operating results.
