In order to continue to respond to rapid changes and required technological advancements, as well as increase our shareholder value, we are exploring strategic transactions and opportunities that we believe will enhance shareholder value. Our board of directors has authorized a review of strategic alternatives, including a possible asset sale, merger with another company or spin-off of one or more of our business units. We will also be opportunistic and may consider other strategic and/or attractive transactions, which may include, but not be limited to other alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments, joint ventures or special purpose acquisition companies. If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions with cash, equity securities and/or debt in combinations appropriate for each acquisition. In September of 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger in connection with the spin-off and sale of our enterprise apps business which was consummated on March 14, 2023. (See " Corporate History " below and “Recent Events - Enterprise Apps Spin-off and Business Combination” under Part II, Item 7 herein for more details). In addition, we have entered into a non-binding letter of intent and are in the due diligence stages with another third party in connection with a potential transaction involving the remainder of our business. We may enter into one or more additional non-binding letters of intent in connection with our due diligence and evaluation process.

From time to time, one or two customers can represent a significant portion of our revenue as a result of one-time projects.
Competition
Our business is characterized by innovation and rapid change. Our RTLS Indoor Intelligence products compete with companies such as Aruba, Cisco, Juniper Networks/Mist Systems, Ubisense, Sewio, Kinexon, Zebra Technologies and other mostly vertical focused RTLS companies. Some competitors determine positioning primarily using BLE or Wi-Fi and, therefore, we believe they cannot achieve the same accuracy that we do and so cannot meet some customers' needs. Many Inpixon competitors are focused on one technology and/or vertical and, at this time, we believe none of them have as complete an offering of tags, anchors, positioning, engine, software, integrations and analytics.
We believe we offer a unique and differentiated approach to the market with our industrial RTLS which is:
• Comprehensive . We offer full-stack RTLS solutions which seamlessly integrates tracking tags, anchors, sensors, positioning engine, software, and connections to third-party systems. We integrate a myriad of indoor data inputs and outputs. With a single platform we can support a multitude of use cases across numerous industries in both the private and public sector.
• Scalable . Our solutions are built to support customers’ expanding needs and use cases. Unlike many other competitive point-solutions, we can offer expansion paths and support for a wide variety of location-based use cases at large, multi-size, global enterprises. Our multi-layered depiction of indoor data allows users to see the information most relevant to their role, in the optimal format for them (e.g., charts, tables, maps, etc.).
• Technology-agnostic and open . We embrace an ecosystem of hardware, software, integration and distribution partners welcoming integration and synchronization with third party data and systems in combination with our platform. Our open architecture is designed to enable the integration of disparate technologies, preserve investment and avoid obsolescence. APIs and MQTT make it possible to move data in and out of our platform to enable a plethora of opportunities and benefits.
MerlinOne and PressTeligence compete with the functionality of our Shoom products, but typically provide information only for the specific customer and not for the customer’s competitors or for the industry.
Originlab and Graphpad Prism are the main competitors of our SAVES products.
