 Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Cost of Revenues—Cost of revenues includes direct and indirect costs associated with the manufacture of the Company’s products as well as with the performance of NRE services in connection with significant design modification and customization. Direct costs include the cost of inventory, shipping, royalties, warranty accruals, depreciation and amortization, supply chain costs, and logistic costs.

Advertising—The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company had no advertising expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs—When the Company bills customers for shipping and handling it includes such amounts as part of Total Net Revenues. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of revenues.

Deferred Revenues—Deferred revenues represent the amount that is allocated to undelivered elements in multiple element arrangements. The Company limits the revenue recognized to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or meeting other specified performance conditions.

Research and Development—Research and development expenses consist of compensation costs, employee benefits, development fees paid to ODM partners, research supplies, allocated facility related expenses and allocated depreciation and amortization. Research and development expenses include costs incurred for the design and configuration activities of new products to conform to the specific functional requirements of the Company’s wireless carrier customers necessary to prepare the product for manufacture. The Company determined that the NRE technical approval costs and the NRE field test costs are contract fulfillment costs and recognizes the associated NRE asset as these costs are incurred. The Company tracks the NRE assets by product and customer, then amortizes the NRE assets to cost of revenues over a period of three or four years, which is management’s estimated product life for each model phone or connected device, starting from the date of the first significant sales.

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company measures equity classified stock-based awards granted to employees, nonemployee directors, and consultants based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards, net of actual forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
