Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The results of the Company’s

the same as those for the full year or any future periods.
5
Liquidity
The Company’s
operations have historically been financed through the issuance of common stock and preferred stock. Since inception, the Company
has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company incurred a net loss of $374 ( 373,910 )
thousand, and used cash from operations of $371 ( 371,058 )
thousand, which was offset by $350 350,000
thousand in cash provided from financing activities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $97 97,066,966
million and cash and cash equivalents of $9 9,104 thousand. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales
and adjust its cost structure accordingly.
Non-binding Letter of Intent
On March 25, 2025,
the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Hongyan Sun and Lin Lin (collectively, the
“Sellers”), pursuant to the terms of which the Sellers will transfer 100% of their equity interests in Suzhou Yixuntong
Network Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”) to the Company (the “Potential Transaction”) for a
purchase price not to exceed $2,000,000. The Company shall make a prepayment of $300,000 to the Sellers upon the signing of the LOI
and the prepayment had not been paid as of March 31, 2025.
Upon the signing of this LOI,
the Target Company and the Sellers (i) have granted the access of the Target Company’s service ports to the Company; (ii) have connected
the Company to the Target Company’s Software as a Service platform; (iii) and is working with the Company to ensure it can carry
out the Multi-Channel Network business in the second quarter of 2025.
The Potential Transaction
is subject to the Company’s satisfactory completion of legal, tax, financial, operation, human resources and administration, and
environmental due diligence of Target Company and such other due diligence as the Company may deem necessary.
The Company and the Sellers
expect to complete the Potential Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than six (6) months after signing
of the LOI (the “Long-Stop Date”). The Sellers have agreed that that, from the date of the LOI through the Long-stop Date,
or the date when the Company informs the Sellers that the exclusivity expires, whichever occurs earlier, the Sellers shall refrain, directly
or indirectly from (i) soliciting offers from third parties to acquire Target Company and/or its business, and from offering Target Company
or its business to any person, firm, group or corporation other than the Company; and (ii) entering into any agreement aimed at selling
or otherwise transferring Target Company or the business or that may otherwise prevent the parties from consummating the Potential Transaction.
The Company expects to announce
additional details regarding the Potential Transaction if and when a definitive agreement is executed. No assurances can be made that
the Company will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Potential Transaction, or that the Potential
Transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. Any transaction is subject to board and shareholder
holder approval of the Company, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant
accounting policies are disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s significant
accounting policies did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
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 .
(3) REVENUE AND OTHER CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue recognized for each distinct
performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with Software-as-a-Service
(“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 period of one
to three years that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.
6
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.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company applies 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 SaaS 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. The Company did no t have contract liabilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

( 6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Commitments
The Company was a party to a license agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive license to use certain trademarks owned by Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC for the manufacture, sale and marketing of consumer cable modem products, consumer routers, WiFi range extenders, MoCa adapters, cellular sensors, home powerline network adapters, and access points worldwide through a wide range of authorized sales channels. The license agreement had a term ending December 31, 2025 prior to its cancellation in 2023.
In connection with the license agreement, the Company had committed to reserve a certain percentage of wholesale prices for use in advertising, merchandising and promotion of the related products. Additionally, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments equal to a certain percentage of the preceding quarter’s net sales with minimum annual royalty payments. Following the Company’s agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC on January 22, 2024, the Company’s quarterly royalty payments, in addition to current and future obligations, were satisfied in exchange for certain assets of the Company.
The Company did not incur
royalty expenses under the License Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
On January 22, 2024, the Company, entered into a Letter Agreement re Product Purchase (the “Letter Agreement”) and a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement,” and the Letter Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Motorola Mobility, LLC (“Motorola”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company (A) initially transferred a portion of its inventory to Motorola and (B) agreed to transfer the reminder of such inventory upon receipt of certain funding in order to satisfy liabilities owed to Motorola, while agreeing to continue to provide certain customer and technical support. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed (i) to pay Motorola a settlement amount of $1,167,071 and (ii) to transfer additional funds as collected from the Company’s customers in an amount up to $263,752. The Company believes that the Agreements, together with arrangements it has finalized with other major vendors, will allow the Company to streamline its operations while reducing its current liabilities.
(b) Vendor Obligation Releases
In its efforts to manage its
liquidity and cash-flow position, the Company negotiated and executed liability release agreements with certain vendors in Q4 2023 who
comprised $ 5.0 million of outstanding accounts payable as of December 31, 2023. In aggregate, the executed release agreements resulted
in a reduction of outstanding accounts payable obligations by $3.6 million from $5.0 million to $1.4 million. The executed release agreements
became effective and are contingent upon payment of the $ 1.4 million negotiated amounts received during the period of Q1 2024. In addition,
the Company agreed to pay certain vendors an additional adjusted $ 0.3 million contingent upon successful collection of customer receivables.
As of March 31, 2024, the contingent amount had not been paid and is accounted in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. In July 2024, the Company paid the contingent amount
of $ 0.3 million to its vendors.
9
(c) Contingencies
The Company is 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 both 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. At March 31, 2025, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is 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 defenses 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.
(7) SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND DEPENDENCY ON KEY SUPPLIERS
During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, the Company had 1 new customer upon launching our SAAS product on March 28, 2025. As of April 30, 2025, the number
of our customers was 39 . As of April 30, 2025, prepaid subscription fees received from customers for our SaaS service amounted to $ 203
thousand.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2024, two companies, including a marketplace facilitator, accounted for 10% or greater individually and 100 % in the aggregate
of the Company’s total net sales. As of March 31, 2024, one company with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater
individually accounted for 100 % of the Company’s accounts receivable.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any concentration of suppliers.

(10) EQUITY
Preferred Stock and Warrants
On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with David Lazar (“Lazar”), a member of our Board of Directors, whereby, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company sold and Lazar (or to any transferee of Lazar’s which acquires the Securities Purchase Rights, as defined below, hereinafter a “Lazar Transferee”) purchased 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $ 0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $ 1.40 , for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,800,000 , subject to the conditions described below, pursuant to the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation S thereunder. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to designate 2,000,000 of the Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for the sale to Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into 1.4 shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and vote on an “as-if-converted” basis and shall have full ratchet protection in any subsequent offerings. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall also issue Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee) warrants to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrants”, and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Purchased Securities”).

The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Warrants met the definition of liability instruments.
The Warrants are classified as component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined the fair value of the Warrants to purchase 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 4.7 million. The key inputs to the valuation model included a weighted average volatility of 162.0 % and an expected term of 3.0 years.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Warrants as compared to the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Warrants incorporates assumptions regarding our common stock price, dividend yield, stock price volatility, as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. Using this model, the Warrants was valued at $ 1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in additional paid in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined based on assumptions that incorporated our common stock price and dividend rate. The Company valued the Series A Preferred Stock at $ 4.5 million. Based on the fair value model to allocate the Series A Preferred Stock proceeds, the Series A Preferred Stock was valued at $ 1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in Series A Preferred Stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On February 26, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, who voted and approved (i) the issuance of shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants to be issued at Closing of the Purchase Agreement, which conversions or exercise would result in a “change of control” of the Company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the increase in authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 .
On February 18, 2025, the
Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 18, 2025 SPA”) with David Lazar
(“Seller”) on the one hand, and Cao Yu, Hu Bin, and Youxin Consulting Limited (collectively, “Purchasers”), on
the other hand, whereby Seller, a director and former officer of the Company, sold to the Purchasers (i) 2,219,447 shares (the “Seller
Preferred Stock”) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the
Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share,
subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrant”), and (iii) certain amounts owed by the Company to Seller (the “Lazar Receivables”).
On April 10, 2025, Seller transferred 31,258 additional shares of Preferred Stock (the “Additional Shares” and collectively
with the Seller Preferred Stock and the Warrant, the “Securities”) to Purchasers. The aggregate purchase price for the Securities
and the Lazar Receivables paid to Seller was $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), of which $300,000 was directed by Seller to
be contributed to the Company in exchange for 1,200,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock to be issued to Seller (the “Lazar Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the February 18, 2025 SPA, in the event certain milestones were achieved, Seller was to be issued newly issued shares of Common
Stock (the “Earnout Shares”).
On May 9, 2025, the Company
entered into a Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with Seller and Purchasers to remove references to the issuance
of the Lazar Common Stock, which issuance was rescinded and replaced with the Convertible Note described below, and remove references
to the Earnout Shares. Pursuant to such Second Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, Seller sells and delivers to Purchasers, and
Purchasers purchases and accepts all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Lazar Receivables and the Securities for
the Purchase Price, which Seller acknowledges and agrees had been previously paid by Purchasers. Purchasers agree that they will surrender
the Warrant to the Company for cancellation and irrevocably waive and forgive the Lazar Receivables for the benefit of the Company.
