Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Interim Period Reporting
The accompanying unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for a
full fiscal year or any other period.
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by us, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally contained in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020.
Operations
Neonode Inc., collectively
with its subsidiaries is referred to as “Neonode” or the “Company”, develops advanced optical sensing solutions
for contactless touch, touch, gesture sensing, and in-cabin monitoring. We market and sell our contactless touch, touch, and gesture sensing
products and solutions using our zForce technology platform, and our in-cabin monitoring solutions using our MultiSensing technology platform.
Neonode offers customized optical touch and gesture control solutions for many different markets and segments.
In our operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2021, we focused on three different business areas, human machine interface (“HMI”) Solutions,
HMI Products and Remote Sensing Solutions. On May 4, 2021, we announced a new strategy and organizational update targeting an increased
focus on the Company’s contactless touch business and on current market opportunities in North America, Asia, and Europe. We thereby
changed to a regional sales organization to replace our business area structure going forward.
In HMI Solutions, Neonode
offered customized optical touch and gesture control solutions for many different markets and segments. In HMI Products, the Company provided
plug-and-play sensor modules that enable touch on any surface, in-air touch, and gesture control for a wide range of applications. In
Remote Sensing Solutions, Neonode offered driver and cabin monitoring solutions for vehicles based on the Company’s flexible, scalable
and hardware-agnostic software platform.
Revenues are derived from
three different revenue streams: license fees, non-recurring engineering fees and the sale of sensor modules.
Liquidity
We have incurred significant
operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. The Company incurred net losses attributable to Neonode
Inc. of approximately $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $197.7 million and $196.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, operating
activities used cash of approximately $2.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations
and the realization of assets and the repayment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Management evaluated the significance
of the Company’s operating loss and determined that the Company’s current operating plan and sources of potential capital
would be sufficient to alleviate concerns about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the future, we may require
sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. If our operations do not become cash
flow positive, we may be forced to seek equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful
in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms,
or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans which could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. If funds are available through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the issuance of equity securities or
securities convertible into equity could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and cause the market price to fall, and the issuance
of debt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions.
We expect revenues will enable
us to reduce our operating losses in coming years. In addition, we intend to continue to implement various measures to improve our operational
efficiencies. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in meeting its revenue targets and reducing its operating
loss.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
as well as Pronode Technologies AB, a 51% majority owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. The remaining 49% of Pronode Technologies
AB is owned by 2X-Communication AB, located in Kungsbacka, Sweden. Pronode Technologies AB was organized to sell engineering services
within the automotive markets. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Neonode consolidates entities
in which it has a controlling financial interest. We consolidate subsidiaries in which we hold, directly or indirectly, more than 50%
of the voting rights.
The condensed consolidated
balance sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’
equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries
as well as Pronode Technologies AB.
Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and judgments that affect, at the date of the financial statements,
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments.
Significant estimates and
judgments include, but are not limited to: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,
the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and transaction prices and assessing transfer of control; measuring variable
consideration and other obligations such as product returns and refunds, and product warranties; provisions for uncollectible receivables;
determining the net realizable value of inventory; recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived assets; for leases, determining
whether a contract contains a lease, allocating consideration between lease and non-lease components, determining incremental borrowing
rates, and identifying reassessment events, such as modifications; the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets; and the
fair value of options issued for stock-based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We have not had any liquid
investments other than normal cash deposits with bank institutions to date. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months of less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Cash
Balance Risks
Cash balances are maintained
at various banks in the U.S., Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden. For deposits held with financial institutions in the U.S., the U.S. Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner. The Swedish government provides
insurance coverage up to 950,000 Krona per customer and covers deposits in all types of accounts. For bank accounts of the category held
by Neonode, the Japanese government provides full insurance coverage. The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation provides insurance coverage
up to 50,000,000 Won per customer. The Central Deposit Insurance Corporation in Taiwan provides insurance coverage up to 3,000,000 Taiwan
Dollar per customer. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided.
7
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts receivable is stated
at net realizable value. Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make
required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer.
Should all efforts fail to recover the related receivable, we will write off the account. We also record an allowance for all customers
based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $79,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Projects in Process
Projects in process consist
of costs incurred toward the completion of various projects for certain customers. These costs are primarily comprised of direct engineering
labor costs and project-specific equipment costs. These costs are capitalized on our balance sheet as an asset and deferred until revenue
for each project is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. There were no costs capitalized in projects as of March
31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Inventory
The Company’s inventory
consists primarily of components that will be used in the manufacturing of our sensor modules. We classify inventory for reporting purposes
as raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.
Inventory is stated at the
lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) valuation method. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period.
Due to the low sell-through of our AirBar products,
management has decided to fully reserve work-in-process for AirBar components, as well as AirBar related raw materials. Management has
further decided to reserve for a portion of AirBar finished goods, depending on type of AirBar and in which location it is stored. The
AirBar inventory reserve was $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
To protect our manufacturing partner from losses
in relation to AirBar production, we agreed to secure the value of the inventory with a bank guarantee covering the production of 20,000
AirBars. Excess inventory was purchased from our manufacturing partner in 2019 and has been fully reserved.
Raw materials, work-in-process,
and finished goods are as follows (in thousands):

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are
stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method
based upon estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Estimated useful lives
Computer equipment
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Equipment
7 years
Equipment purchased under
a finance lease is recognized over the term of the lease if that lease term is shorter than the estimated useful life.
Upon retirement or sale of
property and equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected
in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Right of Use Assets
A right-of-use asset represents
a lessee’s right to use a leased asset for the term of the lease. Our right-of-use assets generally consist of operating leases
for buildings and finance leases for manufacturing equipment.
Right-of-use assets are measured initially at the present value of
the lease payments, plus any lease payments made before a lease begins and any initial direct costs, such as commissions paid to obtain
a lease.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently
measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for incentives, prepaid or accrued rent, and any initial direct
costs not yet expensed.
9
Long-Lived Asset Recoverability
We assess the recoverability
of long-lived assets by estimating the future cash flow from the associated assets in accordance with relevant accounting guidance. If
the estimated undiscounted future cash flow related to these assets decreases or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated,
we may incur charges for impairment of these assets. As of March 31, 2021, we believe there was no impairment of our long-lived assets.
There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or sufficient demand for our products and services will continue,
which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses
The functional currency of
our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and the Taiwan Dollar.
The translation from Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won and Taiwan Dollar to U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts
using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate
during the period. Gains or (losses) resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). Foreign currency translation gains (losses) were $(166,000) and $(87,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and were $82,000 and $49,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively.
Concentration of Credit and Business Risks
Our customers are located in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
As of March 31, 2021, five
customers represented approximately 78% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues.
As of December 31, 2020, three
customers represented approximately 62% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues.
Customers who accounted for
10% or more of our net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021 are as follows:
●
Hewlett Packard Company – 19%
●
LG – 17%
●
Seiko Epson Corporation – 15%
●
Lexmark Intl Inc – 14%
●
Alpine – 13%
Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our
net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:
●
Hewlett Packard Company – 36%
●
Epson – 19%
●
Alpine – 17%

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when
control of products is transferred to our customers, and when services are completed and accepted by our customers. The amount of revenue
we recognize reflects the consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. Our contracts with customers may include
combinations of products and services, for example, a contract that includes products and related engineering services. We structure our
contracts such that distinct performance obligations, such as product sales or license fees, and related engineering services, are clearly
defined in each contract.
License fees for products and sales of AirBar and sensor modules are
recognized on a per-unit basis; therefore, we generally satisfy performance obligations as units are shipped to our customers. Non-recurring
engineering service performance obligations are satisfied as work is performed and accepted by our customers.
We recognize revenue net of
allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We treat all
product shipping and handling charges (regardless of when they occur) as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods, therefore
we treat all shipping and handling charges as expenses.
Revenues from our business
areas derive from three different revenue streams: license fees, non-recurring engineering fees and the sale of sensor modules.
Licensing Revenues:
We earn revenue from licensing
our internally developed intellectual property (“IP”). We enter into IP licensing agreements that generally provide licensees
the right to incorporate our IP components in their products, with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. Fees under these agreements
may include license fees relating to our IP, and royalties payable to us following the distribution by our licensees of products
incorporating the licensed technology. The license for our IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance
and support.
For technology license arrangements
that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying technology, we recognize technology license revenue when
the license is made available to the customer and the customer has a right to use that license. At the end of each reporting period, we
record unbilled license fees, using prior royalty revenue data by customer to make estimates of those royalties.
Explicit return rights are not offered to customers.
There have been no returns through March 31, 2021.
Engineering Services:
For technology license or sensor module contracts that require modification
or customization of the underlying technology to adapt that technology to the customer’s desired use, we determine whether the technology
license or sensor module, and engineering consulting services represent separate performance obligations. We perform our analysis on a
contract-by-contract basis. If there are separate performance obligations, we determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”)
of each separate performance obligation to properly recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. We provide engineering
consulting services to our customers under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”). Deliverables and payment terms are specified
in each SOW. We generally charge an hourly rate for engineering services, and we recognize revenue as engineering services specified in
contracts are completed and accepted by our customers. Any upfront payments we receive for future non-recurring engineering services are
recorded as unearned revenue until that revenue is earned.
We believe that recognizing non-recurring engineering service revenues
as progress towards completion of engineering services and customer acceptance of those services occurs best reflects the economics of
those transactions, because engineering services as tracked in our systems correspond directly with the value to our customers of our
performance completed to date. Hours performed for each engineering project are tracked and reflect progress made on each project and
are charged at a consistent hourly rate.
Revenues from engineering
services contracts that are short-term in nature are recorded when those services are complete and accepted by customers.
11
Revenues from engineering
services contracts with substantive defined deliverables for which payment terms in the SOW are commensurate with the efforts required
to produce such deliverables are recognized as they are completed and accepted by customers.
Estimated losses on all SOW
projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, no losses related
to SOW projects were recorded.
Optical Sensor Modules
Revenues:
We earn revenue from sales of sensor modules hardware products to our
Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and Tier 1 supplier customers, who embed our hardware into their products, and from
sales of branded consumer products that incorporate our sensor modules sold through distributors or directly to end users. These distributors
are generally given business terms that allow them to return unsold inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate
in various cooperative marketing programs. Our sales agreements generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty
provisions.
The timing of revenue recognition related to AirBar
modules depends upon how each sale is transacted - either point-of-sale or through distributors. We recognize revenue for AirBar modules
sold point-of-sale when we provide the promised product to the customer.
We generally use distributors to provide AirBar and sensor modules
to our customers and analyze the terms of distributor agreements to determine when control passes from us to our distributors. For sales
of AirBar and sensor modules sold through distributors, revenues are recognized when our distributors obtain control over our products.
Control passes to our distributors when we have a present right to payment for products sold to distributors, the distributors have legal
title to and physical possession of products purchased from us, and the distributors have significant risks and rewards of ownership of
products purchased.
Distributors participate in various cooperative
marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for these programs. If actual credits received
by distributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience, our revenue
could be adversely affected.
Under U.S. GAAP, companies may make reasonable aggregations and approximations
of returns data to accurately estimate returns. Our AirBar and Module returns and warranty experience to date has enabled us to make reasonable
returns estimates, which are supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenous transactions. The reserve for future sales
returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue and was $74,000 as of March 31, 2021 and $74,000 as of December
31, 2020. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue
could be adversely affected.

Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers
may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer, particularly when the contract is for a product and related
engineering services fees for customizing that product for our customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct
performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. Judgment may also be required to determine
the SSP for each distinct performance obligation identified, although we generally structure our contracts such that performance obligations
and pricing for each performance obligation are specifically addressed. We currently have no outstanding contracts with multiple performance
obligations.
Judgment is also required
to determine when control of products passes from us to our distributors, as well as the amounts of product that may be returned to us.
Our products are sold with a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives to our customers, which could result in variability
when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. At the end of each reporting period, we use product returns history and additional
information that becomes available to estimate returns and credits. We do not recognize revenue if it is probable that a significant reversal
of any incremental revenue would occur.
Finally, judgment is required to determine the
amount of unbilled license fees at the end of each reporting period.
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition
may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when we have an unconditional right to receive future payments
from customers, and we record unearned deferred revenue when we receive prepayments or upfront payments for goods or services from our
customers.
The following table presents accounts receivable
and deferred revenues as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and
cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenues (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits or deferred
revenue (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting
in contract assets; contract assets are generally classified as current. The Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its
customers before revenue is recognized, which are reported as contract liabilities and are generally classified as current. These assets
and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
We do not anticipate impairment
of our contract asset related to license fee revenues, given the creditworthiness of our customers whose invoices comprise the balance
in that asset account. We will continue to monitor the timeliness of receipts from those customers, however, to assess whether the contract
asset has been impaired.
The allowance for doubtful
accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on
known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately
$79,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Payment terms and conditions
vary by the type of contract; however, payments generally occur 30-60 days after invoicing for license fees and sensor modules to our
resellers and distributors. Where revenue recognition timing differs from invoice timing, we have determined that our contracts do not
include a significant financing component. Our intent is to provide our customers with consistent invoicing terms for the convenience
of our customers, not to receive financing from our customers.
13
Costs to Obtain Contracts
We record the incremental
costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset, if we expect the benefit of those costs to cover a period greater than one
year. We currently have no incremental costs that must be capitalized.
We expense as incurred costs
of obtaining a contract when the amortization period of those costs would have been less than or equal to one year.

The Company accrues for warranty
costs as part of its cost of sales of sensor modules based on estimated costs. The Company’s products are generally covered by a
warranty for a period of 12 months from the customer receipt of the product.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist
primarily of prepayments for license fees, and other products or services for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue
when we transfer control of the product or service. Deferred revenues may also include upfront payments for consulting services to be
performed in the future, such as non-recurring engineering services.
We defer license fees until
we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition, which is when a license is made available to a customer and that customer
has a right to use the license. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until engineering services have been completed and accepted
by our customers.

During the three months ended

of the year.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed
as incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $19,000 and $7,000, respectively.
14
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”)
costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist primarily of personnel related costs in addition to external consultancy costs such
as testing, certifying and measurements.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including share options, based on the estimated fair value of the award
on the grant date, and recognize the value as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange
for the award, usually the vesting period.
We account for equity instruments
issued to non-employees at their estimated fair value.
When determining stock-based
compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
Noncontrolling Interests
We recognize any noncontrolling interest, also
known as a minority interest, as a separate line item in equity in the consolidated financial statements. A noncontrolling interest represents
the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly owned subsidiary not attributable to us. Generally, any interest that holds less
than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a noncontrolling interest; however, there are other factors, such as decision-making
rights, that are considered as well. We include the amount of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated
net income (loss) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company provides either
in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, if presented, or in the notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements, a reconciliation at the beginning and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity (net assets), equity (net
assets) attributable to the parent, and equity (net assets) attributable to the noncontrolling interest that separately discloses:
(1)
Net income or loss;
(2)
Transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners; and
(3)
Each component of other comprehensive income or loss.
Income taxes
We recognize deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the consolidated financial statements
or tax returns. We estimate income taxes based on rates in effect in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets
is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred
tax assets when, in our opinion, realization is uncertain based on the “more likely than not” criteria of the accounting guidance.
Based on the uncertainty of
future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In the event we were
to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase
income in the period such determination was made. The provision for income taxes represents the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus
income taxes paid or payable for the current period.
We follow U.S. GAAP related
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which provisions include a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring
uncertainty in income taxes. As a result, we did not recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020, we had no unrecognized tax benefits.
15
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share amounts
has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2021
and 2020. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of
shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for the three months ended March
31, 2021 and 2020 exclude the potential common stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive (see Note 8).
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Our other comprehensive income
(loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected
as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Flow Information
Cash flows in foreign currencies
have been converted to U.S. Dollars at an approximate weighted-average exchange rate for the respective reporting periods. The weighted-average

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We disclose the estimated
fair values for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Financial instruments including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and are deemed to approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , (“ASU 2016-13”),
supplemented by subsequent accounting standards updates. The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for
financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
ASU 2016-13, as amended, is scheduled to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted.
In the future, we will evaluate the impact that ASU 2016-13, as amended, will have on our consolidated financial statements, specifically
regarding our trade receivables; however, we do not expect any significant impact from implementation of the new standard.
16
In December 2019, the FASB
issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Tax , which simplifies the accounting for income
taxes. We adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
3. Stockholders’ Equity
On August 7, 2020, we closed
a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors. We issued a total of 1,611,845
shares of common stock at a price of $6.50 per share, and a total of 365 shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock and 3,050 shares of Series
C-2 Preferred Stock, each with a conversion price of $6.50 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share, for approximately $13.9 million
in aggregate gross proceeds.
Common Stock
At our annual meeting of our stockholders held on September 29, 2020,
stockholders approved a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 25,000,000 shares. Accordingly, on
November 5, 2020, we filed an amendment to the Neonode Inc. Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (our “Certificate
of Incorporation”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of our common
stock to 25,000,000 shares.
On December 29, 2020, we issued 37,288 shares of
our common stock to key employees pursuant to our 2020 long term incentive program (“2020 LTIP”) see Note 4.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2021, there were no activities that affected common stock.
Preferred Stock
On August 6, 2020, in connection with the closing
of the Private Placement, the Company designated (i) 365 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series C-1 Preferred
Stock by filing a Series C-1 Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware and (ii) 4,084 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series C-2 Preferred Stock by filing a Series C-2
Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
On September 24 and 29, 2020, respectively, the
Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock (together, the “Series C Preferred Shares”) were converted into
684,378 shares of Neonode common stock.
The holders of the Series
C-1 and C-2 Preferred Shares were entitled to receive dividends at the rate per share of 5% per annum, totaling $33,000. As of December
31, 2020, all of the preferred dividends had been paid.
On December 7, 2020, we filed
Certificates of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to eliminate the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock.
There were no transactions in our preferred stock during the three
months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

4. Stock-Based Compensation
We have adopted equity incentive plans under which we may grant stock
options and restricted stock awards to employees, consultants and directors. Except for certain options granted to certain Swedish employees,
all employee, consultant and director stock options granted under our stock option plans have an exercise price equal to the market value
of the underlying common stock on the grant date. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for any options, as vesting
for all outstanding option grants was based only on continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of our outstanding stock
options and restricted stock awards are classified as equity instruments.
Stock Options / Stock awards
During the year ended December 31, 2020, our stockholders approved
the Neonode Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which replaced our 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015
Plan”), which in turn replaced our Neonode Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Although no new awards
may be made under the 2015 or 2006 Plans, these plans are still operative for previously granted awards. Under the 2020 Plan, 750,000
shares of common stock have been reserved for awards, including nonqualified stock option grants and restricted stock grants to officers,
employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2020 Plan are set by our compensation committee
at its discretion.
Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, we had three
equity incentive plans:
●
The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”).
●
The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).
●
The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”).
In 2020 we established the Neonode Inc. 2020 Long
Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”) to provide eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest, or otherwise
increase their equity interest, in the Company as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Company. Through the 2020 LTIP,
eligible employees of Neonode may waive between 50% to 67% of future unearned bonuses that may be awarded to them under the Company’s
annual bonus arrangement in exchange for the grant of shares of the Company’s common stock.
On December 29, 2020, we issued 37,288 shares of common stock to key
employees pursuant to the 2020 LTIP. The shares were immediately vested but subject to a two-year lock-up period after issuance. In the
event the participant’s employment with Neonode is terminated by the participant during the two-year lock-up period, the Company
will repurchase the shares at a price equal to 30% of the lower of market value at issuance and the termination date. The shares issued
on December 29, 2020 represent two-thirds of the total shares available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP and the last one-third is planned
to be issued at the end of December 2021. Neonode has reported and paid Swedish social charges of $75,000 for the issued shares but only
30% of the stock-based compensation (totaling $77,000) was included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 2020, with the remainder to be recognized ratably over the two-year lock-up period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $23,000
of stock-based compensation was included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Unrecognized compensation expense related
to the 2020 LTIP as of March 31, 2021 was $154,000, which will be recognized over two years from issuance of the shares of common stock.
A summary of the combined activity under all of
the stock option plans is set forth below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020,
we recorded no stock-based compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options. The estimated fair value of the stock options
is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date of the stock option.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2021, we did not grant any options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees or members of our board of directors.
Stock options granted under
the 2006 and 2015 Plans are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, vest in various installments over a one
to four-year period and have exercise prices reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On August 26, 2020, a
putative stockholder of Neonode filed a purported class action lawsuit (C.A. No. 2020-0701-AGB) in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the
“Court”) against Neonode and the Board of Directors of Neonode for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with disclosure
of information concerning Proposal 5 and Proposal 6 in the proxy statement filed with the SEC by Neonode on August 20, 2020 for the 2020
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Neonode (the “Proxy Statement”). These proposals for shareholder approval related to
the Private Placement by Neonode on August 5, 2020 in which two directors and the chief executive officer of Neonode participated. The
relief sought by the plaintiff included a preliminary injunction to enjoin the stockholder votes on Proposal 5 and Proposal 6. On September
13, 2020, the plaintiff amended his complaint to also enjoin the stockholder vote on Proposal 1 in the Proxy Statement concerning election
of directors. N eonode and the other named defendants believe that the disclosures set forth in the
Proxy Statement complied fully with all applicable law, that no supplemental disclosure was required, and that the plaintiffs’ allegations
are without merit. However, in an effort to avoid the nuisance and ongoing expense relating to the claims in the lawsuit, Neonode
filed definitive additional materials to the Proxy Statement on September 18, 2020. The plaintiff withdrew his motion to preliminarily
enjoin the stockholder votes on Proposals 1, 5, and 6 based upon the definitive additional materials to the Proxy Statement. On November
23, 2020, the Court entered an order to dismiss the lawsuit.
On September 2, 2020,
a separate putative stockholder of Neonode filed a purported class action lawsuit (Case No. 1:20-cv-01174-UNA) in the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware against Neonode, the Board of Directors of Neonode, and the Chief Executive Officer of Neonode for
alleged violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with disclosure of information
concerning Proposal 5 and Proposal 6 in the Proxy Statement, and generally containing the same substantive allegations as in the above
previously-filed Delaware Court of Chancery action. On October 20, 2020, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in the United
States District Court. However, on February 11, 2021, the plaintiff’s counsel informed Neonode that they would file a fee petition
as a result of Neonode filing the definitive additional materials to the Proxy Statement on September 18, 2020. Neonode intends
to vigorously defend against any attempt by the plaintiff’s counsel to obtain any fee award.
Indemnities and Guarantees
Our bylaws require that we
indemnify each of our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising because of the officer or director serving
in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential
amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have a directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy that should enable us to recover a portion of future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance
policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and we have no liabilities recorded
for these agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
We enter into indemnification
provisions under our agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors,
customers and landlords. Under these provisions we generally indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or
incurred by the indemnified party as a result of our activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party’s activities
under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by us regarding
intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum
potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. We have not incurred
material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated
fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as of March
31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
One of our manufacturing partners has previously
purchased material for the final assembly of AirBars. To protect the manufacturer from losses in relation to AirBar production, we agreed
to secure the value of the inventory in a bank guarantee. At March 31, 2021, the guaranteed amount is $100,000 and represents the value
of the remaining material in inventory at March 31, 2021.
Management’s judgment
is that the bank guarantee is a contingent guarantee and management will record a liability when it is probable we will have to purchase
the inventory. As of May 12, 2021, management’s judgment is that we will sell the remaining AirBars and thereby purchase the components
and the assembly service from the manufacturing partner. No liability has therefore been recorded for the period ended March 31, 2021.
Patent Assignment
On May 6, 2019, the Company assigned a portfolio
of patents to Aequitas Technologies LLC. The assignment provides the Company the right to share potential proceeds generated from a licensing
and monetization program.
On June 8, 2020, Neonode Smartphone
LLC, a subsidiary of Aequitas Technologies LLC filed complaints against Apple and Samsung in the Western District of Texas for infringing
two patents. These litigation matters are still ongoing.
Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs
On April 25, 2013, we entered

7. Leases
We have operating leases for
our corporate offices and our manufacturing facility, and finance leases for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of six months
to two years. One of our primary operating leases includes options to extend the lease for one to three years and the other primary lease
includes an option to annually extend; those operating leases also include options to terminate the leases within one year. Future renewal
options that are not likely to be executed as of the balance sheet date are excluded from right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities.
Our operating leases represent building leases
for our Stockholm corporate offices and our Kungsbacka manufacturing facility. Our Stockholm corporate office lease has a remaining lease
term of two years and both of our leases are automatically renewed at a cost increase of 2% on an annual basis, unless we provide written
notice nine months prior to the respective expiration dates.
We report operating lease right-of-use assets,
as well as current and noncurrent operating lease obligations on our consolidated balance sheets for the right to use those buildings
in our business. Our finance leases represent manufacturing equipment; we report the manufacturing equipment, as well as current and noncurrent
finance lease obligations on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for our manufacturing equipment.
Generally, interest rates
are stated in our leases for equipment. When no interest rate is stated in a lease, however, we review the interest rates implicit in
our recent finance leases to estimate our incremental borrowing rate. We determine the rate implicit in a lease by using the most recent
finance lease rate, or other method we think most closely represents our incremental borrowing rate.

Overview
Our company provides advanced
optical sensing solutions for human-machine interface (“HMI”) and remote sensing solutions for driver and cabin monitoring
features in automotive and other application areas.
We mainly operate in the business-to-business
(“B2B”) markets.
23
HMI Solutions
We license our technology
to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers who embed our technology into products they develop, manufacture
and sell. Since 2010, our HMI Solutions customers have sold over 80 million devices that use our technology and within this business area
we derive revenues through technology licensing and engineering consulting services.
As of March 31, 2021, we had entered into 42 technology license agreements
with global OEMs, Global Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers.
Our licensing customer base
is primarily in the automotive and printer industries. Thirteen of our licensing customers are currently shipping products that embed
our touch and gesture technology. We anticipate current and new customers will initiate product shipments throughout 2021 and in future
years as they complete final product development and release cycles. Customer product development and release cycles typically take between
6 months to 36 months. We earn our license fees on a per unit basis when our customers ship products using our technology.
We also offer engineering
consulting services to our licensing customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. Typically, our customers require engineering support
during the development and initial manufacturing phase for their products using our technology.
HMI Products
In addition to our technical solutions business, we design and manufacture
sensor modules that incorporate our patented technology. We sell our embedded sensors components to OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers
for use in their products. Within this business area we derive revenues through selling embedded sensor modules and engineering consulting
services.
We utilize a robotic manufacturing
process designed specifically for our components. Industry specific sensor modules with a common technology platform provides hardware
touch, gesture and object sensing solutions that, paired with our technology licensing platform, gives us a full range of options to enter
and compete in key markets.
We also offer engineering
consulting services to our sensor module customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. Typically, our customers require hardware or software
modifications of our standard products or support during the development and initial manufacturing phase for their products using our
technology.
In October 2017, we began
selling embedded sensor modules to business customers in the industrial and consumer electronics markets. Over time, we expect a significant
portion of our revenues will be derived from the HMI Products business area.
Our offerings include a consumer
product, AirBar, powered by our sensor modules. As a plug and play accessory, AirBar enables touch and gesture functionality for notebook
computers. In 2016 and 2017, we began shipping 15.6 inch, 13.3 inch and 14 inch AirBar to distributors and customers in the United States
and Europe. We have no current plans to develop new Neonode branded products for the consumer markets.
Remote Sensing Solutions
With this newly formed business
area, we intend to address the demand for cost-effective driver and cabin monitoring systems. We have developed a software platform for
driver and cabin monitoring that is flexible, scalable and hardware-agnostic, and uses computationally efficient machine-learning algorithms.
Within this business area we expect to derive revenues through technology licensing and engineering consulting services.
Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19
a global pandemic. Our near term growth and overall business has been and is continuing to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 and we expect
it will continue to be adversely impact by COVID-19 and the related global economic slowdown. Although we have noted additional demand
in our contactless touch products and some increases in sales of licensed products, COVID-19 has negative impacted some of our customers’
businesses and their sales volumes. We are experiencing challenges in obtaining deliveries of components needed to manufacture our sensor
modules and we may have difficulties delivering our products to our customers in time and at a reasonable cost. Our operations were impacted
as we paused business-related travel and our employees to a high extent work remotely. The extent of COVID-19’s impact on our operational
and financial performance going forward will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic,
all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict at this time considering the rapidly evolving landscape. To mitigate the financial
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have undertaken cost-reduction measures. In particular, we implemented a Swedish government-backed
program of short-term layoffs that resulted in the reduction of staff working hours by 20% between mid-April to mid-August last year.
We are continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and we may take further actions in response. There is a risk that we
will not be successful in mitigating COVID-19’s impact on our business, and our sales may not increase in line with our expectations
and our operating margins could fluctuate or decline.

Gross Margin
Our combined total gross
margin was 83% and 97% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in total gross margin in 2021
as compared to 2020 was primarily due to higher product sales with lower margins. For the three months ended March 31, 2021,
revenues from our HMI Solutions business area accounted for 78% of total revenue compared to 91% in the same period in 2020 and
revenues from our HMI Products business area accounted for 22% of total revenue compared to 9% in the same period 2020. There were
no revenues from our Remote Sensing Solutions business area for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Our cost of revenues includes
the direct cost of production of certain customer prototypes, costs of engineering personnel, engineering consultants to complete the
engineering design contracts and cost of goods sold for sensor modules includes fully burdened manufacturing costs, outsourced final assembly
costs, and component costs of sensor modules.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”)
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. R&D expenses primarily
consist of personnel-related costs in addition to external consultancy costs, such as testing, certifying and measurements, along with
costs related to developing and building new product prototypes.
26
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to
higher staff expenses due to a reallocation of employees to the marketing function.
Our sales activities focus
on OEM, ODM and Tier 1 customers who will license our technology or purchase and embed our touch sensor modules into their products.
General and Administrative
General and administrative (“G&A”)
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase was primarily
due to higher costs related to staff and in-house consultants.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was
(1%) and (1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The negative tax rate in the three months ended March
31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was due to withholding taxes from sales. We recorded valuation allowances for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 for deferred tax assets related to net operating losses due to the uncertainty of realization.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors
discussed above, we recorded a net loss attributable to Neonode Inc. of $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Contractual Obligation and Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We previously agreed to secure
the value of inventory purchased by one of our AirBars manufacturing partners. At December 31, 2020, the guaranteed amount was decreased
from $210,000 to $100,000. We do not have any other transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that
are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources other than the operating leases incurred in the normal course of business.
We have no special purpose
or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support. We do not engage in
leasing, hedging, research and development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face
of the consolidated financial statements.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs
On April 25, 2013, we entered
into an Analog Device Development Agreement with an effective date of December 6, 2012 (the “NN1002 Agreement”) with Texas
Instruments (“TI”) pursuant to which TI agreed to integrate our intellectual property into an ASIC, which is used in our licensed technology. Under the terms of the
NN1002 Agreement, we agreed to pay TI $500,000 of non-recurring engineering costs at the rate of $0.25 per ASIC for each of the first
2 million ASICs sold. As of March 31, 2021, we had made no payments to TI under the NN1002 Agreement.

Equipment Subject to Finance Lease
In April 2014, we entered
into a lease for certain specialized milling equipment. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we are obligated to purchase the equipment
at the end of the original six-year lease term for 10% of the original purchase price of the equipment. In accordance with relevant accounting
guidance, the lease is classified as a finance lease. The lease payments and depreciation period began on July 1, 2014 when the equipment
went into service. On July 1, 2020, the lease contract was extended for one year. The implicit interest rate of the extended lease period
is 9.85% per annum.
Between the second and the
fourth quarters of 2016, we entered into six leases for component production equipment. Under the terms of five of the lease agreements
entered into during 2016, we are obligated to purchase the equipment at the end of the original three to five years lease terms for 5-10%
of the original purchase price of the equipment. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance these five leases are classified as finance
leases. The lease payments and depreciation periods began between June and November 2016 when the equipment went into service. The implicit
interest rate of these five leases is currently approximately 3% per annum. The additional lease entered into during 2016 is a hire-purchase
agreement that requires the equipment to be paid off after five years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance the lease is classified
as a finance lease. The lease payments and depreciation period began on July 1, 2016 when the equipment went into service. The implicit
interest rate of this lease is approximately 3% per annum.
In 2017, we entered into one
lease for component production equipment. Under the terms of the lease agreement the lease will be renewed within one year of the end
of the original four-year lease term. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the lease is classified as a finance lease. The
lease payments and depreciation periods began in May 2017 when the equipment went into service. The implicit interest rate of the lease
is approximately 1.5% per annum.
In 2018, we entered into one
lease for component production equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, the lease will be renewed within one year of the original
four-year lease term. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the lease is classified as a finance lease. The lease payments
and depreciation periods began in August 2018 when the equipment went into service. The implicit interest rate of the lease is approximately
1.5% per annum.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is dependent
on many factors, including sales volume, operating profit and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity will be affected
by, among other things:
●
licensing of our technology;
●
purchases of our sensor products, including AirBar;
●
operating expenses;
●
timing of our OEM customer product shipments;
●
timing of payment for our technology licensing agreements;
●
gross profit margin; and
●
ability to raise additional capital, if necessary.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $8.1 million
compared to $10.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
Working capital (current assets
less current liabilities) was $8.8 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $10.4 million as of December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March
31, 2021 was $2.0 million and was primarily the result of a net loss of $1.7 million and approximately $0.4 million in non-cash operating
expenses, comprised of stock based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and amortization of operating lease right-of-use
assets.
Net cash used in operating
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.0 million and was primarily the result of a net loss of $1.1 million and approximately
$0.3 million in non-cash operating expenses, comprised of depreciation and amortization and amortization of operating lease right-of-use
assets.
Accounts receivable and unbilled
revenues decreased by approximately $0.4 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. This was due to some large customer
invoices outstanding at year end 2020 that settled during the first three months of 2021.
Inventory increased by approximately
$0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to purchased components to secure our estimated sales for the coming twelve
months.
Deferred revenues decreased
by approximately $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020, we purchased approximately $62,000 and $5,000, respectively, of property and equipment, primarily new leasehold
improvements for the new Stockholm office and demo equipment.
Net cash used in financing
activities of $148,000 and $132,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was the result of principal payments
on finance leases.
We have incurred significant
operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $1.7 million
and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $197.7
million and $196.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, operating activities used cash of approximately
$2.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The condensed consolidated
financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and the
realization of assets and the repayment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
We aim to grow our revenues
in all business areas and continue to implement various measures to improve our operational efficiencies. No assurances can be given that
management will be successful in meeting its revenue targets and reducing its operating loss.
In the future, we may require
sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. If our operations do not become cash
flow positive, we may be forced to seek equity investments or debt arrangements. Historically, we have been able to access the capital
markets through sales of common stock and warrants to generate liquidity. Our management believes it could raise capital through public
or private offerings if needed to provide us with sufficient liquidity.
No assurances can be given
that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available
on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, no assurance can be given that stockholders will approve an increase in the
number of our authorized shares of common stock. If funds and sufficient authorized shares are available, the issuance of equity securities
or securities convertible into equity could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and cause the market price to fall, and the
issuance of debt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions.
The functional currency of
our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and the Taiwan Dollar.
They are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any increase or decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to
the Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won or Taiwan Dollar will impact our future operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our contracts with customers
may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer, particularly when the contract covers a product and related
engineering services fees for customizing that product for our customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct
performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. Judgment may also be required to determine
the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation identified, although we generally structure our contracts such
that performance obligations and pricing for each performance obligation are specifically addressed. We currently have no outstanding
contracts with multiple performance obligations.
Our products are sold with
a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives to our customers, which could result in variability when determining
the amount of revenue to recognize. At the end of each reporting period, we use product returns history and additional information that
becomes available to estimate returns and credits. We do not recognize revenue if it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental
revenue would occur.
See Note 2 – Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1) for further
discussion of critical accounting policies and discussion of estimates.
There have been no other changes
from the critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2020.
