−Removed: SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
−Removed: Not Applicable
−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: The following discussion and analysis should
−Removed: be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual
−Removed: We develop advanced optical sensing solutions
−Removed: for contactless touch, touch, gesture sensing, and in-cabin monitoring.
−Removed: We market and sell our contactless touch, touch, and gesture
−Removed: products and solutions using our zForce technology platform, and our in-cabin monitoring solutions using our MultiSensing technology
−Removed: In 2010, we began licensing to OEMs and
−Removed: Tier 1 suppliers who embed our technology into products they develop, manufacture and sell.
−Removed: Since 2010, our licensing customers
−Removed: have sold approximately 79 million devices that use our technology.
−Removed: In October 2017, we augmented our licensing business and began
−Removed: manufacturing and shipping sensor modules that incorporate our technology.
−Removed: We sell these embedded sensors modules to OEMs, ODM’s
−Removed: and Tier 1 suppliers for use in their products.
−Removed: To reduce time to market, we started selling
−Removed: AirBar in the fourth quarter of 2016, a Neonode branded consumer product, which incorporates one of our sensor modules to enable
−Removed: laptop touchscreen functionalities, through distributors and directly to consumers.
−Removed: We have no current plans to develop new Neonode
−Removed: branded products for the consumer markets.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
−Removed: we had entered into forty-two technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
−Removed: During the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020, we had fourteen customers using our touch technology in products that were being shipped to their customers.
−Removed: of our license fees earned in 2020 and 2019 were from customer shipments of printers.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we had entered
−Removed: into eight agreements with value added resellers (“VARs”) for integration of our sensor modules in the products they
−Removed: offer to global OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
−Removed: In addition to this, we distribute our embedded sensor modules through Digi-Key
−Removed: Corporation and Serial Microelectronics HK Ltd.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, our two distributors sold and shipped 5,397 sensor modules
−Removed: and related development kits.
−Removed: We anticipate our future revenue will be generated by a combination of royalties from our existing
−Removed: and new license customers plus sales of our sensor modules.
−Removed: During 2020 and 2019, we continued to focus
−Removed: our efforts on maintaining our current licensing customers and achieving design wins for new products both with current and future
−Removed: We made investments enhancing the design of selected embedded sensor modules and setting-up partner networks for sales
−Removed: and distribution.
−Removed: We intend to continue expanding our sensor module product offerings in 2021, including new sensor modules for
−Removed: delivery to our key markets.
−Removed: We expect that over time the sales of sensor modules may constitute the majority of our revenue.
−Removed: In 2020, we participated in a Swedish governmental program designed
−Removed: to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: Under the program, we received tax credits, which were later repaid, reduced
−Removed: social charges and subsidies to staff during a four month period of reduced working hours.
−Removed: See Note 6 to our consolidated financial
−Removed: statements for additional details.
−Removed: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: Our consolidated financial statements have
−Removed: been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
−Removed: and include the accounts of Neonode Inc.
−Removed: and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden), a 51%
−Removed: majority owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries.
−Removed: The non-controlling interests are reported
−Removed: below net loss including non-controlling interests under the heading “Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests”
−Removed: in the consolidated statements of operations, below comprehensive loss under the heading “Comprehensive income loss attributable
−Removed: to non-controlling interests”
−Removed: in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and shown as a separate component of stockholders’
−Removed: equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: See “Non-controlling Interests”
−Removed: for further discussion.
−Removed: All inter-company
−Removed: accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: The consolidated balance sheets at December
−Removed: 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’
−Removed: equity and cash flows
−Removed: for the years ended 2020 and 2019 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as Pronode Technologies
−Removed: The accounting policies affecting our financial
−Removed: condition and results of operations are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Certain of our
−Removed: accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial
−Removed: estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty.
−Removed: Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various
−Removed: other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
−Removed: The historical experience and assumptions form the
−Removed: basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and
−Removed: expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources.
−Removed: Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
−Removed: or conditions.
−Removed: We believe the following are critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation
−Removed: of our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements
−Removed: in conformity with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP requires making estimates and judgments that affect, at the date of the financial statements, the
−Removed: reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue
−Removed: and expenses.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments.
−Removed: Significant estimates and judgments include,
−Removed: but are not limited to:
−Removed: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,
−Removed: the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and transaction prices and assessing transfer of control;
−Removed: measuring variable
−Removed: consideration and other obligations such as product returns and refunds, and product warranties;
−Removed: provisions for uncollectible receivables;
−Removed: determining the net realizable value of inventory;
−Removed: recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived asset;
−Removed: determining whether a contract contains a lease, allocating consideration between lease and non-lease components, determining incremental
−Removed: borrowing rates, and identifying reassessment events, such as modifications;
−Removed: the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax
−Removed: and the fair value of options issued for stock-based compensation.
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: We recognize revenue when control of products
−Removed: is transferred to our customers, and when services are completed and accepted by our customers;
−Removed: the amount of revenue we recognize
−Removed: reflects the consideration we expect to receive for those products or services.
−Removed: Our contracts with customers may include combinations
−Removed: of products and services, for example, a contract that includes products and related engineering services.
−Removed: We structure our contracts
−Removed: such that distinct performance obligations, such as product sales or license fees, and related engineering services, are clearly
−Removed: defined in each contract.
−Removed: Sales of license fees and AirBar and sensor
−Removed: modules are on a per-unit basis;
−Removed: therefore, we generally satisfy performance obligations as units are shipped to our customers.
−Removed: Non-recurring engineering service performance obligations are satisfied as work is performed and accepted by our customers.
−Removed: We recognize revenue net of allowances for
−Removed: returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
−Removed: We treat all product
−Removed: shipping and handling charges (regardless of when they occur) as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods.
−Removed: we treat all shipping and handling charges as expenses.
−Removed: Licensing Revenues:
−Removed: We earn revenue from licensing our internally developed intellectual
−Removed: property (“IP”).
−Removed: We enter into IP licensing agreements that generally provide licensees the right to incorporate our
−Removed: IP components into their products, with terms and conditions that vary by licensee.
−Removed: Fees under these agreements may include license
−Removed: fees relating to our IP, and royalties payable to us following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating
−Removed: the licensed technology.
−Removed: The license for our IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support.
−Removed: For technology license arrangements that
−Removed: do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying technology, we recognize technology license revenue
−Removed: when the license is made available to the customer and the customer has a right to use that license.
−Removed: At the end of each reporting
−Removed: period, we record unbilled license fees, using prior royalty revenue data by customer to make estimates of those royalties.
−Removed: Explicit return rights are not offered to
−Removed: There have been no returns through December 31, 2020.
−Removed: Engineering Services:
−Removed: For technology license or sensor module
−Removed: contracts that require modification or customization of the underlying technology to adapt that technology to customer use, we
−Removed: determine whether the technology license or sensor module, and engineering consulting services represent separate performance obligations.
−Removed: We perform our analysis on a contract-by-contract basis.
−Removed: If there are separate performance obligations, we determine the standalone
−Removed: selling price (“SSP”) of each separate performance obligation to properly recognize revenue as each performance obligation
−Removed: is satisfied.
−Removed: We provide engineering consulting services to our customers under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”).
−Removed: Deliverables and payment terms are specified in each SOW.
−Removed: We generally charge an hourly rate for engineering services, and we recognize
−Removed: revenue as engineering services specified in contracts are completed and accepted by our customers.
−Removed: Any upfront payments we receive
−Removed: for future non-recurring engineering services are recorded as unearned revenue until that revenue is earned.
−Removed: We believe that recognizing revenue from non-recurring engineering
−Removed: services as progress towards completion of engineering services and customer acceptance of those services occurs best reflects
−Removed: the economics of those transactions, because engineering services as tracked in our systems correspond directly with the value
−Removed: to our customers of our performance completed to date.
−Removed: Hours performed for each engineering project are tracked and reflect progress
−Removed: made on each project and are charged at a consistent hourly rate.
−Removed: Revenues from engineering services contracts
−Removed: that are short-term in nature are recorded when those services are complete and accepted by customers.
−Removed: Revenues from engineering services contracts
−Removed: with substantive defined deliverables for which payment terms in the SOW are commensurate with the efforts required to produce
−Removed: such deliverables are recognized as they are completed and accepted by customers.
−Removed: Estimated losses on all SOW projects are
−Removed: recognized in full as soon as they become evident.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $47,000 of losses and
−Removed: during the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no losses related to SOW projects recorded.
−Removed: Sensor Modules Revenues:
−Removed: We earn revenue from sales of sensor modules hardware products
−Removed: to our OEM, ODM and Tier 1 supplier customers, who embed our hardware into their products, and from sales of branded consumer products
−Removed: that incorporate our sensor modules that are sold through distributors or directly to end users.
−Removed: These distributors are generally
−Removed: given business terms that allow them to return unsold inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate
−Removed: in various cooperative marketing programs.
−Removed: Our sales agreements generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty
−Removed: The timing of revenue recognition related
−Removed: to AirBar modules depends upon how each sale is transacted - either point-of-sale or through distributors.
−Removed: We recognize revenue
−Removed: for AirBar modules sold point-of-sale (online sales and other direct sales to customers) when we provide the promised product to
−Removed: the customer.
−Removed: Because we generally use distributors to
−Removed: provide AirBar and sensor modules to our customers, however, we analyze the terms of distributor agreements to determine when control
−Removed: passes from us to our distributors.
−Removed: For sales of AirBar and sensor modules sold through distributors, revenues are recognized when
−Removed: our distributors obtain control over our products.
−Removed: Control passes to our distributors when we have a present right to payment for
−Removed: products sold to distributors, the distributors have legal title to and physical possession of products purchased from us, and
−Removed: the distributors have significant risks and rewards of ownership of products purchased.
−Removed: Distributors participate in various cooperative
−Removed: marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for these programs.
−Removed: If actual credits
−Removed: received by distributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience,
−Removed: our revenue could be adversely affected.
−Removed: GAAP, companies may make reasonable aggregations
−Removed: and approximations of returns data to accurately estimate returns.
−Removed: Our AirBar and Module returns and warranty experience to date
−Removed: has enabled us to make reasonable returns estimates, which are supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenous
−Removed: transactions.
−Removed: The reserve for future sales returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue and was $78,000
−Removed: as of December 31, 2020 and was insignificant as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: The warranty reserve is recorded as an accrued expense and
−Removed: cost of sales and was $25,000 as of December 31, 2020 and insignificant as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: If the actual future returns were
−Removed: to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected.
−Removed: Accounts Receivable and Allowance
−Removed: for Doubtful Accounts
−Removed: Our accounts receivable is stated at net
−Removed: realizable value.
−Removed: Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make
−Removed: required payments.
−Removed: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value,
−Removed: using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) valuation method.
−Removed: Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices
−Removed: in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
−Removed: Any adjustments
−Removed: to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period.
−Removed: In 2020, after
−Removed: a comprehensive evaluation of our AirBar business we recorded a $28,000 write-down for obsolete or slow moving AirBar component
−Removed: and finished goods inventory which is included in our cost of goods sold.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, our inventory consists
−Removed: primarily of components that will be used in the manufacturing of our sensor modules.
−Removed: We segregate inventory for reporting purposes
−Removed: by raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.
−Removed: Investment in Joint Venture
−Removed: We invested $3,000, a 50% interest in Neoeye
−Removed: AB, which was sold in November 2020.
−Removed: We accounted for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investment
−Removed: provided us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
−Removed: We were not required to guarantee
−Removed: any obligations of the Joint Venture and there have been no operations of Neoeye AB during 2020.
−Removed: Projects in Process
−Removed: Projects in process consist of costs incurred
−Removed: during the completion of various projects for certain customers.
−Removed: These costs are primarily comprised of direct engineering labor
−Removed: costs and project-specific equipment costs.
−Removed: These costs are capitalized on our balance sheet as an asset and deferred until revenue
−Removed: for each project is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
−Removed: There were no costs capitalized in projects in
−Removed: process as of December 31, 2020 and $8,000 as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Property and Equipment
−Removed: Property and equipment are stated at cost,
−Removed: net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based
−Removed: upon estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
−Removed: Estimated useful lives
−Removed: Computer equipment
−Removed: Furniture and fixtures
−Removed: Equipment purchased under a finance lease
−Removed: is depreciated over the term of the lease, if that lease term is shorter than the estimated useful life.
−Removed: Upon retirement or sale of property and
−Removed: equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected
−Removed: in the consolidated statement of operations.
−Removed: Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: We assess any impairment by estimating the
−Removed: future cash flows from the associated asset in accordance with relevant accounting guidance.
−Removed: If the estimated undiscounted future
−Removed: cash flow related to these assets decreases or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment
−Removed: of these assets.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we believe there was no impairment of our long-lived assets.
−Removed: There can be no assurance,
−Removed: however, that market conditions will not change or sufficient demand for our products and services will continue, which could result
−Removed: in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
−Removed: Research and Development
−Removed: Research and development (“R&D”)
−Removed: costs are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: R&D costs consist mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy
−Removed: costs such as testing, certifying and measurements.
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation Expense
−Removed: We measure the cost of employee services
−Removed: received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including share options, based on the estimated fair value of the award
−Removed: on the grant date, and recognize the value as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide services
−Removed: in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.
−Removed: We account for equity instruments
−Removed: issued to non-employees at their estimated fair value.
−Removed: When determining stock-based compensation
−Removed: expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option
−Removed: pricing model.
−Removed: Non-controlling Interests
−Removed: We recognize any non-controlling interest,
−Removed: also known as a minority interest, as a separate line item in equity in the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: A non-controlling
−Removed: interest represents the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly owned subsidiary not attributable to us.
−Removed: Generally, any
−Removed: interest that holds less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a non-controlling interest;
−Removed: however, there are
−Removed: other factors, such as decision-making rights, that are considered as well.
−Removed: We include the amount of net income (loss) attributable
−Removed: to non-controlling interests in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: We provide either in the consolidated statement
−Removed: of stockholders’
−Removed: equity, if presented, or in the notes to consolidated financial statements, a reconciliation at the beginning
−Removed: and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity (net assets), equity (net assets) attributable to the parent,
−Removed: and equity (net assets) attributable to the non-controlling interest that separately discloses:
−Removed: Net income or loss;
−Removed: Transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners;
−Removed: Each component of other comprehensive income or loss.
−Removed: Foreign Currency Translation and
−Removed: Transaction Gains and Losses
−Removed: The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries
−Removed: is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and the Taiwan Dollar.
−Removed: The translation
−Removed: from Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won or the Taiwan Dollar to U.S.
−Removed: Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts
−Removed: using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange
−Removed: rate during the period.
−Removed: Gains or (losses) resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other
−Removed: comprehensive income (loss).
−Removed: Gains or (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative
−Removed: expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and were $(252,000) and $105,000 during the years ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Foreign currency translation gains (losses) were $235,000 and $(183,000) during the years ended
−Removed: December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Net Loss per Share
−Removed: Net loss per share amounts have been computed
−Removed: based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
−Removed: Net loss per share, assuming dilution
−Removed: amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential
−Removed: common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
−Removed: The weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common
−Removed: stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 exclude the potential common
−Removed: stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
−Removed: Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
−Removed: Our other comprehensive income (loss) includes
−Removed: foreign currency translation gains and losses.
−Removed: The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate
−Removed: component of stockholders’
−Removed: equity in the consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive loss.
−Removed: Cash Flow Information
−Removed: Cash flows in foreign currencies have been
−Removed: converted to U.S.
−Removed: Dollars at an approximate weighted-average exchange rate for the respective reporting periods.
−Removed: The weighted-average
−Removed: exchange rates for the consolidated statements of operations were as follows:
−Removed: Swedish Krona
−Removed: South Korean Won
−Removed: Taiwan Dollar
−Removed: Exchange rates for the consolidated balance
−Removed: sheets were as follows:
−Removed: Swedish Krona
−Removed: South Korean Won
−Removed: Taiwan Dollar
−Removed: Deferred Revenues
−Removed: Deferred revenues consist primarily of prepayments
−Removed: for license fees, and other products or services for which we have been paid in advance, and earn the revenue when we transfer
−Removed: control of the product or service.
−Removed: Deferred revenues may also include upfront payments for consulting services to be performed
−Removed: in the future, such as non-recurring engineering services.
−Removed: We defer license fees until we have met all accounting requirements
−Removed: for revenue recognition, which is when a license is made available to a customer and that customer has a right to use the license.
−Removed: Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until engineering services have been completed and accepted by our customers.
−Removed: We defer sensor modules revenues until distributors sell the products to their end customers.
−Removed: The following table presents our deferred
−Removed: revenues by source (in thousands);
−Removed: Deferred license fees revenues
−Removed: Deferred NRE revenues
−Removed: Deferred AirBar revenues
−Removed: Deferred sensor modules revenues
−Removed: New Accounting
−Removed: Pronouncements
−Removed: In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
−Removed: 2016-13, Financial
−Removed: Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , (“ASU 2016-13”), supplemented
−Removed: by subsequent accounting standards updates.
−Removed: The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial
−Removed: assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
−Removed: ASU 2016-13, as amended, is scheduled to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption
−Removed: In the future, we will evaluate the impact that ASU 2016-13, as amended, will have on our consolidated financial statements,
−Removed: specifically regarding our trade receivables;
−Removed: however, we do not expect any significant impact from implementation of the new standard.
−Removed: In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes
−Removed: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Tax , which simplifies the accounting for income taxes.
−Removed: ASU 2019-12 will
−Removed: become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.
−Removed: We are currently evaluating
−Removed: the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

−Removed: The decrease in total net revenues by 10.0%
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily caused by lower licensing revenues, offset by higher sensor
−Removed: modules sales.
−Removed: The following tables
−Removed: present the net revenues distribution per business area and revenue stream for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars

−Removed: Revenues from Sensor modules
−Removed: Revenues from NRE
−Removed: Other revenue
−Removed: Revenues from Automotive
−Removed: Revenues from Consumer electronics
−Removed: Revenues from Sensor modules
−Removed: Revenues from NRE
−Removed: License fees were the majority of our total
−Removed: revenue in the past three years and decreased by 23% in 2020 as compared to 2019, primarily due to a 27% decrease in license fees
−Removed: earned from our customer within consumer electronics and 13% decrease in license fees earned from our automotive customers.
−Removed: decrease is related to the generally slower sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic in combination with declining volumes from aging
−Removed: customer contracts.
−Removed: An increasing portion of our revenues for
−Removed: 2020 was attributable to embedded sensor modules, which we began selling in October 2017.
−Removed: We sold $950,000 and $560,000 of sensor
−Removed: modules in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: While our revenues from license fees in
−Removed: 2020 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the demand for our customer products decreased, revenues from our sensor
−Removed: module sales were positively impacted in 2020 due to the increased demand for contactless touch that they enable.
−Removed: Revenues from NRE increased 247% in 2020
−Removed: as compared to 2019 due to prototype projects within the military & avionics market.
−Removed: In 2020, 84% of total NRE fees were earned
−Removed: from military & avionics compared to 62% in 2019.
−Removed: 88% of our NRE revenues derived from our HMI Solutions business area in 2020
−Removed: compared to 68% in 2019.
−Removed: We expect to continue to earn NRE fees in 2021 and future years from all three of our business areas.
−Removed: Our combined total
−Removed: gross margin was 82% in 2020 compared to 90% in 2019.
−Removed: The decrease in total gross margin in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily
−Removed: due to lower license revenues with 100% gross margin and increased sales of sensor modules with lower margins.
−Removed: There were also
−Removed: higher costs relating to write-down of slow moving and obsolete inventory in 2020.
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenues
−Removed: from our HMI Solutions business area accounted for 83% of total revenue compared to 91% in the same period in 2019 and revenues
