Competition
Our business is characterized by innovation and rapid change. Our Indoor Intelligence products compete with companies that offer positioning and asset tracking products and services, indoor mapping solutions, or workplace experience apps. For positioning we compete with companies such as Aruba, Cisco, Mist Networks/Juniper Networks, Aislelabs and Bluevision/HID. For our workplace experience app, events and executive briefing center products we compete with Modo, Comfy, On24, Cvent, Signet and BriefingEdge. For our mapping product, we compete with companies such as MappedIn, Mapwize and Esri. For asset tracking and our Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) products, we compete with Ubisense, Sewio, Kinexon, Zebra Technologies, Stanley Healthcare and other mostly vertical focused RTLS companies. The positioning companies primarily offer BLE or Wi-Fi detection and, therefore, we believe they cannot achieve the same accuracy and comprehensive detection that we do. We have partnered with or replaced some of these companies because we offer GPS, Cellular/LTE, Wi-Fi, BLE, CSS and UWB solutions that can deliver the level of accuracy required for the customer use case. Most of the companies above are focused on one product and/or vertical and, at this time, we believe none of them have the complete offering of positioning, mapping, RTLS and analytics.
We believe we offer a unique and differentiated approach to the market with our indoor intelligence offering which is:
•Comprehensive. We integrate a myriad of indoor data inputs and outputs. The technology supports a multitude of use cases including workplace experience, asset tracking, navigation, facility management, analytics, and security across numerous industries in both the private and public sector.
•Scalable. We are built to support customers’ expanding needs and use cases. Unlike other competitive point-solutions, we can offer expansion paths and support for a wide variety of location based use cases. Our multi-layered depiction of indoor data allows users to see the information layer(s) most relevant to their role, in the optimal format for them (e.g., charts, tables, maps, etc.).
•Technology-agnostic. 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 obsolesce. APIs make it possible to move data in and out of our platform. Our SDKs enable developers to build new apps or to integrate location data into their existing mobile apps, websites or kiosks.
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.

If any of the events described in the following risk factors actually occurs, or if additional risks and uncertainties later materialize, that are not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, then our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors in our common stock may lose all or part of their investment in our shares. The risks discussed below include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Summary Risk Factors
The following summarizes the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and stock price. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained below.
Risks Related to Our Operations
•We have completed several strategic transactions, which may make it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future business, and, due to the risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition of new businesses, any such acquisition does not guarantee that we will be able to attain profitability.
•We may not be able to successfully integrate the business and operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire in the future into our ongoing business operations.
•The risks arising with respect to the historic business and operations of our recent acquisition targets may be different from what we anticipate, which could significantly increase the costs and decrease the benefits of the acquisition and materially and adversely affect our operations going forward.
•The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect us, and the extent to which the effects of the pandemic will impact us remains uncertain.
•Our ability to successfully execute our business plan may require additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
•Failure to manage or protect growth may be detrimental to our business because our infrastructure may not be adequate for expansion.
•We have a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability or raise additional financing.
•The shares of our Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to a holder’s redemption right and requires us to maintain a minimum cash balance.
•Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.
•We have been subject to regulatory and other government or regulatory investigations or inquiries and may be required to comply with data requests, or requests for information by government authorities and regulators in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate and any resulting enforcement action could have a materially adverse effect on us.
•If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed.
•The growth of our business is dependent on increasing sales to our existing customers and obtaining new customers, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.
Risks Related to the Spin-off
•The Spin-off could give rise to disputes or other unfavorable effects, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
•Changes in the value of the Sysorex common stock we own may result in material fluctuations (increases or decreases) in our total asset value and net income on a quarterly basis.
Risks Related to Our Securities
•Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in the future.
•Our stock price may be volatile.
•Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
•We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling our stock.
•If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
•Some provisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
Risks Related to Our Operations
We have a strategic acquisition strategy and since 2014 have completed several strategic transactions. In addition, we completed the Spin-off our VAR business in August 2018, which included our legacy value added reseller business, which may make it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future business. Furthermore, due to the risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition of new businesses, any such acquisition does not guarantee that we will be able to attain profitability.
We have a strategic acquisition strategy and since 2014 we have completed several strategic transactions. In August 2018, we completed the Spin-off of our VAR business, which included the businesses acquired from Lilien and Integrio, while in 2019 we acquired Locality and Jibestream, in addition to certain assets from GTX. In 2020, we completed several additional strategic transactions including, the acquisition of the Nanotron business, an exclusive license for the distribution and marketing of the SAVES software expanding our operations in the United Kingdom and Germany and the acquisition of certain assets and technologies comprising our "blue dot" technology from Ten Degrees. In 2021, we acquired a suite of augmented reality, computer vision, localization, navigation, mapping, and 3D reconstruction technologies, including patents, trademarks, software and related intellectual property from Visualix GmbH, 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Design Reactor, Inc., including its SaaS app platform that enables corporate enterprise organizations to provide a custom-branded, location-aware employee app focused on enhancing the workplace experience and hosting virtual and hybrid events, and 100% of the outstanding capital stock of IntraNav GmbH, an industrial IoT (IIoT), real-time location system (RTLS), and sensor data services provider. Our limited operating history after such acquisitions and divestiture makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations or the merits of an investment in our securities. With respect to the Spin-off, the risks inherent in such divestiture are described below under “Risks Related to the Spin-off.” With respect to acquisitions, we are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays characteristic of a newly combined business. These risks are described below under the risk factor titled “Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.” In addition, while the Company has received indemnification protections in connection with these acquisitions from undisclosed liabilities, there may not be adequate resources to cover such indemnity. Furthermore, there are risks that the vendors, suppliers and customers of any of the businesses we have acquired may not renew their relationships for which there is no indemnification. Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties inherent to developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
We may not be able to successfully integrate the business and operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire in the future into our ongoing business operations, which may result in our inability to fully realize the intended benefits of these acquisitions, or may disrupt our current operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and/or results of operations.
We continue to integrate the technology and operations acquired in connection with our recent acquisitions, including but not limited to the on-device positioning technology acquired from Ten Degrees and the Nanotron technology and operations. This process involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges, which are time-consuming and expensive and may disrupt our ongoing business operations. Furthermore, integration involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
•difficulties or complications in combining the companies’ operations;
•differences in controls, procedures and policies, regulatory standards and business cultures among the combined companies;
•the diversion of management’s attention from our ongoing core business operations;
•increased exposure to certain governmental regulations and compliance requirements;
•the potential loss of key personnel;
•the potential loss of key customers or suppliers who choose not to do business with the combined business;
•difficulties or delays in consolidating the acquired companies’ technology platforms, including implementing systems designed to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the combined company and enable the Company to continue to comply with U.S. GAAP and applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations;
•unanticipated costs and other assumed contingent liabilities;
•difficulty comparing financial reports due to differing financial and/or internal reporting systems;
•making any necessary modifications to internal financial control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and/or
•possible tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company.
These factors could cause us to not fully realize the anticipated financial and/or strategic benefits of the acquisitions and the recent reorganization, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Even if we are able to successfully operate the acquired businesses, we may not be able to realize the revenue and other synergies and growth that we anticipated from these acquisitions in the time frame that we currently expect, and the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than what we currently expect, because of a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
•the possibility that the acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected;
•the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for the acquired companies current and future products as expected; and
•the possibility that the carrying amounts of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets may not be recoverable.
As a result of these risks, the acquisitions and integration may not contribute to our earnings as expected, we may not achieve expected revenue synergies or our return on invested capital targets when expected, or at all, and we may not achieve the other anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the acquisitions and the reorganization.
The risks arising with respect to the historic business and operations of our recent acquisition targets may be different from what we anticipate, which could significantly increase the costs and decrease the benefits of the acquisition and materially and adversely affect our operations going forward.
Although we performed significant financial, legal, technological and business due diligence with respect to our recent acquisition targets, we may not have appreciated, understood or fully anticipated the extent of the risks associated with the acquisitions. We have secured indemnification for certain matters in connection with our recent acquisitions in order to mitigate the consequences of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants under the merger agreements and the risks associated with historic operations, including those with respect to compliance with laws, accuracy of financial statements, financial reporting controls and procedures, tax matters and undisclosed liabilities, and certain matters known to us. We believe that the indemnification provisions of the merger agreements, together with any applicable holdback escrows and insurance policies that we have in place will limit the economic consequences of the issues we have identified in our due diligence to acceptable levels. Notwithstanding our exercise of due diligence and risk mitigation strategies, the risks of the acquisition and the costs associated with these risks may be greater than we anticipate. We may not be able to contain or control the costs associated with unanticipated risks or liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations, and the extent to which the effects of the pandemic will impact our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain.
The United States and the global community we serve are facing unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic, and the preventative measures taken in response (including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” and similar orders issued by international, federal, state or local authorities), have resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, significant volatility and business and economic disruptions and uncertainty. General economic or other conditions resulting from COVID-19 or other events materially may impact the liquidity of our common stock or our ability to continue to access capital from the sale of our securities to support our growth plans. While we have been able to continue operations remotely, we have and continue to experience supply chain cost increases and constraints and delays in the receipt of certain components of our products impacting delivery times for our products. We have also seen some impact in the demand of certain products and delays in certain projects and customer orders either because they require onsite services which could not be performed as a result of new rules and regulations resulting from the pandemic, customer facilities being partially or fully closed during the pandemic or because of the uncertainty of the customer’s financial position and ability to invest in our technology. We have taken steps to protect our employees and we continue to operate all of our services, but the extent to which the effects of the pandemic will impact our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations is uncertain, rapidly changing and hard to predict and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to control or predict, including:
● the duration and scope of the pandemic;
● the extent and effectiveness of responsive actions by authorities and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers and vendors;
● the impact of the pandemic on our employees, including key personnel;
● the extent to which we are able to maintain and replace critical internet infrastructure components, when necessary;
● any disruption of our supply chain and the impact of such disruptions on our suppliers or our ability to deliver products and services to our customers;
● our continued ability to execute on business continuity plans for the maintenance of our critical internet infrastructure, while most of our employees continue to work remotely; and
● any negative impact on the demand for our services and products resulting from the economic disruption caused by the pandemic and responses thereto.
If we are unable to successfully respond to and manage the impact of the pandemic, and the resulting responses to it, our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
A significant portion of the purchase price related to our strategic acquisitions are allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. An impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of the purchase price related to our strategic acquisitions are allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. An impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2021 we had approximately $7.7 million of goodwill and the net book value of our intangible assets is approximately $33.5 million in connection with the various acquisitions that we have consummated.
As required by current accounting standards, we review intangible assets for impairment either annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The risk of impairment to goodwill is higher during the early years following an acquisition. This is because the fair values of these assets align very closely with what we paid to acquire the reporting units to which these assets are assigned. As a result, the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value (typically referred to as “headroom”) is smaller at the time of acquisition. Until this headroom grows over time, due to business growth or lower carrying value of the reporting unit, a relatively small decrease in reporting unit fair value can trigger impairment charges. When impairment charges are triggered, they tend to be material due to the size of the assets involved. Our business could be adversely affected, and impairment of goodwill could be triggered, if any of the
following were to occur: higher attrition rates than planned as a result of the competitive environment or our inability to provide products and services that are competitive in the marketplace, lower-than-planned adoption rates by customers, higher-than-expected expense levels to provide services to customers, sustained declines in our stock price and related market capitalization and changes in our business model that may impact one or more of these variables. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $14.8 million and $0, respectively.
Our acquisitions may expose us to additional liabilities, and insurance and indemnification coverage may not fully protect us from these liabilities.
Upon completion of acquisitions, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities associated with the acquired entity, and if these liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and negatively affected.
Our ability to successfully execute our business plan may require additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
Based on our current business plan, we will need additional capital to support our operations, which may be satisfied with additional debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity offerings by us will be dilutive to existing stockholders. In addition, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors than our current investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities. We may also issue incentive awards under our equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue in the future such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could affect the availability or cost of future financing. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations by, for example, selling certain assets or business segments.
Failure to manage or protect growth may be detrimental to our business because our infrastructure may not be adequate for expansion.
Our recent acquisitions required a substantial expansion of our systems, workforce and facilities and our corporate strategy includes plans for continued acquisitions of complementary technologies and businesses in furtherance of our growth plans. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated future growth. The substantial growth in our operations as a result of our acquisitions has, and is expected to continue to, place a significant strain on our administrative, financial and operational resources, and increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative systems, controls and other resources. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.
Our corporate strategy contemplates potential future acquisitions and to the extent we acquire other businesses, we will also need to integrate and assimilate new operations, technologies and personnel. The integration of new personnel will continue to result in some disruption to ongoing operations. The ability to effectively manage growth in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management processes. We will need to continue to improve operational, financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to accomplish such an expansion on a timely basis. If the Company is unable to effect any required expansion and is unable to perform its contracts on a timely and satisfactory basis, its reputation and eligibility to secure additional contracts in the future could be damaged. The failure to perform could also result in contract terminations and significant liability. Any such result would adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth, which could hurt our financial performance.
In addition to employees hired in connection with our recent acquisitions and any other companies that we may acquire in the future, we anticipate that we will need to expand our employee infrastructure for managerial, operational, financial and other resources at the parent company level. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effective.
In order to manage our future growth, we will need to continue to improve our management, operational and financial controls and our reporting systems and procedures. All of these measures will require significant expenditures and will demand the attention of management. If we do not continue to enhance our management personnel and our operational and financial systems and controls in response to growth in our business, we could experience operating inefficiencies that could impair our competitive position and could increase our costs more than we had planned. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
We have a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability or raise additional financing.
We have a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency. We have incurred net losses attributable to the stockholders of Inpixon of approximately $69.2 million and $29.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase in loss of approximately $39.9 million was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses of $53.8 million offset by the higher gross margin of $4.9 million and reduced other loss of $6.6 million. The continuation of our Company is dependent upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any further financing.
Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon sustaining certain cost reductions and generating sufficient revenues. While our revenues have increased by 72% as compared to the same period for 2020, they are not sufficient to fund our operations and cover our operating losses. Our management is evaluating options and strategic transactions and continuing to market and promote our new products and technologies, however, there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of our common stock and secured and unsecured debt instruments. Our history of operating losses and cash uses, our projections of the level of cash that will be required for our operations to reach profitability, and the terms of the financing transactions that we completed in the past, may impair our ability to raise capital on terms that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings or debt financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the requisite amount of financing needed to fund our planned operations, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern, and we may have to curtail, or even to cease, certain operations. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, it will be dilutive to our stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price.
The shares of our Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to a holder’s redemption right and requires us to maintain a minimum cash balance.
At any time beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the original issue date of the Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock and ending ninety (90) days thereafter, each holder of such shares may require us to redeem all or part of the Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock then held by such holder in cash for a redemption price per share equal to the stated value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other costs, expenses, or amounts due in respect of such shares (the “Redemption Amount”), provided that in certain instances of our default more particularly described in the Certificate of Designation for the Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock, the Redemption Amount is increased to 110% of the stated value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other costs, expenses, or amounts due in respect of such shares. If we fail to pay the full Redemption Amount timely, we will be obligated to pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from the due date
until the Redemption Amount and all interest thereon are paid in full. Until the earlier of the conversion or redemption of all shares of Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock and June 14, 2022, we will maintain a cash balance (in the form of cash and cash equivalents equal to the sum of (i) the stated value of all of the shares of Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, (ii) the aggregate amount of any debt (including trade payables) and other securities that are issued that are senior to, or pari passu with, the Series 7 Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iii) the aggregate amount of monetary judgments with respect to us and our subsidiaries or any of their respective property or assets. As a result, we will be limited in the amount of cash that we utilize until such requirement lapses. Any limitation in our ability to deploy capital as needed could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Our business depends on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete contracts.
The success of our business depends on the skill of our personnel. Accordingly, it is critical that we maintain, and continue to build, a highly experienced management team and specialized workforce, including those who create software programs and sales professionals. Competition for personnel with skill sets specific to our industry is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate.
Our business is labor intensive and our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled employees, including employees who may become part of our organization in connection with our acquisitions. The increase in demand for consulting, technology integration and managed services has further increased the need for employees with specialized skills or significant experience in these areas. Our ability to expand our operations will be highly dependent on our ability to attract a sufficient number of highly skilled employees and to retain our employees and the employees of companies that we have acquired. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining enough employees to achieve our desired expansion or staffing plans. Furthermore, the industry turnover rates for these types of employees are high and we may not be successful in retaining, training or motivating our employees. Any inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to accept new customer engagements. Such inability may also force us to increase our hiring of independent contractors, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability on customer engagements. We must also devote substantial managerial and financial resources to monitoring and managing our workforce. Our future success will depend on our ability to manage the levels and related costs of our workforce.
In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing contracts in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new contracts. Further, any increase in demand for personnel may result in higher costs, causing us to exceed the budget on a contract, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results and harm our relationships with our customers.
Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.
If we are successful in consummating acquisitions, those acquisitions could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
•the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;
•we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve our market position as planned;
•we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources;
•key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;
•we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;
•we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence investigation or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements;
•our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;
•we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;
•we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and
•we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.
We cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, our continued business will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance or the warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future.
We have outstanding debt. Such indebtedness, along with the other contractual commitments of our Company, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of March 3, 2022, we have an outstanding principal and interest balance of approximately $3.5 million underlying the promissory note issued to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. which originally matured in March 2021, but was extended on March 17, 2021 to March 18, 2022 and extended on March 16, 2022 to March 18, 2023. In addition, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P may require us to redeem 1/3 of the initial principal balance of their promissory note each month in cash. The ability to meet payment and other obligations under this note depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control as described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure debt, exchange debt for other securities, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If we are unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, we may not be able to meet debt payment and other obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
In addition, so long as this note is outstanding, the holder will have a right of first refusal on more favorable equity-linked financings and will be entitled to participate in certain equity or debt financings, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The existence of these rights may deter potential financing sources and may lead to delays in our ability to close proposed financings. Any delay or inability to complete a financing when needed could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current consolidated debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.
If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. In the past, we have made strategic investments in certain securities, including our purchase of interests in Cardinal Venture Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CVH”), which owns certain interests in the sponsor entity (the “Sponsor”) to a special purpose acquisition company, as well as our holdings in Sysorex. Although we have made these strategic investments, we do not currently believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in either of those sections of the 1940 Act.
We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to transact with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Chief Executive Officer and director, Nadir Ali, has an interest in CVH that may create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest.
Nadir Ali, our Chief Executive Officer and director, is also a controlling member of 3AM, LLC which is a member of CVH, which may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to manage the affairs of CVH. Mr. Ali’s relationship may create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest between Mr. Ali’s obligations to our company and its shareholders and his economic interests and possible fiduciary obligations in CVH through 3AM. For example, Mr. Ali may be in a position to influence or manage the affairs of CVH in a manner that may be viewed as contrary to the best interests of either the Company or CVH and their respective stakeholders.
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
Upon completion of any acquisitions by the Company, we may be subject to claims that our acquired companies and their employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. We may be subject to unexpected claims of infringement of third party intellectual property rights, either for intellectual property rights of which we are not aware, or for which we believe are invalid or narrower in scope than the accusing party. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel or be enjoined from selling certain products or providing certain services. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.
We have been subject to regulatory and other government or regulatory investigations or inquiries and may be required to comply with data requests, or requests for information by government authorities and regulators in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate and any resulting enforcement action could have a materially adverse effect on us.
As a publicly trading reporting company with operations in the United States and internationally, we interact regularly with regulatory and self-regulatory agencies in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. We have been and may in the future be the subject of SEC and other regulatory investigations and may be required to comply with informal or formal orders or other requests for information or documentation from such
government authorities and regulators regarding our compliance with laws and regulations, including the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Responding to requests for information from regulators in connection with any such investigations or inquiries could have a materially adverse effect on our business through, among other things, significantly increased legal fees and the time and attention required of the Company’s management and employees to be diverted from our normal business operations and growth plans. Moreover, if a regulator were to initiate an enforcement action against us, such any action could further consume our resources, require us to change our business practices and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Adverse judgments or settlements in legal proceedings could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We may be a party to claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, contracts, sub-contracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, adversary proceedings arising from customer bankruptcies, employment of our workforce and immigration requirements or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business. Additionally, we may be made a party to claims against Sysorex that were pending at the time of the Spin-off, or future claims resulting from the Spin-off as described below under the risk factor section titled “Risks Related to the Spin-off.” We may also be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. There is a risk that we will not be successful or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve any such claims or litigation. In addition, litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings (possibly resulting in changes in established reserves), could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Due to recurring losses and net capital deficiency, our current financial status may increase our default and litigation risks and may make us more financially vulnerable in the face of threatened litigation.
The loss of our Chief Executive Officer or other key personnel may adversely affect our operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the operation, experience, and continued services of certain of our officers, including our CEO, as well as other key personnel. While our CEO and key personnel are employed under employment contracts, there is no assurance we will be able to retain their services. The loss of our CEO or several of the other key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. If our CEO or other executive officers were to leave we would face substantial difficulty in hiring a qualified successor and could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience. Furthermore, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of any executive officer and their death or incapacity would have a material adverse effect on us. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Any system or service disruptions, on our hosted Cloud infrastructure or those caused by ongoing projects to improve our information technology systems and the delivery of services, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. We are also subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.
Systems failures could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Many of the systems and networks that we develop, install and maintain for our customers on premise or host on our infrastructure involve managing and protecting confidential information and other sensitive corporate and government information. While we have programs designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cyber security threats or other events, we may experience loss of revenue, remediation costs or face claims for damages or contract termination. Any such event could cause serious harm to our reputation and prevent us from having access to or being eligible for further work on such systems and networks. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all of the damages that we may incur and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.
We may enter into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties. A failure of any such relationship could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.
We may enter into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements. A failure of our business relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of these requirements could harm our business.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal control and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. We are also focused on expanding our business in certain identified growth areas, such as health information technology, energy and environment, which are highly regulated and may expose us to increased compliance risk. Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.
If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations and growth prospects may be materially harmed.
We have not registered copyrights on any of the software we have developed, and while we may register copyrights in the software if needed before bringing suit for copyright infringement, such registration can introduce delays before suit of over three years and can constrain damages for infringement. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute actual or potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
In addition, any patents issued in the future may not provide us with any competitive advantages, and our patent applications may never be granted. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, as the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are complex and often uncertain and are subject to change that can affect validity of patents issued under previous legal standards, particularly with
respect to the law of subject matter eligibility. Our inability to protect our property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
Our proprietary software is protected by common law copyright laws, as opposed to registration under copyright statutes. We have not registered copyrights on any of the proprietary software we have developed. Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Common law protection may be narrower than that which we could obtain under registered copyrights. As a result, we may experience difficulty in enforcing our copyrights against certain third party infringements. As part of our confidentiality-protection procedures, we generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no protection of our intellectual property. We also rely on a variety of technology that we license from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party technology licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing software enhancements and new development until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially and adversely affect our business.
The growth of our business is dependent on increasing sales to our existing customers and obtaining new customers, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.
Our ability to increase revenues from existing customers by identifying additional opportunities to sell more of our products and services and our ability to obtain new customers depends on a number of factors, including our ability to offer high quality products and services at competitive prices, the strength of our competitors and the capabilities of our sales and marketing departments. If we are not able to continue to increase sales of our products and services to existing customers or to obtain new customers in the future, we may not be able to increase our revenues and could suffer a decrease in revenues as well.
Decreases, or slow growth, in the newspaper publishing industry may negatively affect our results from operation as it relates to our Shoom products.
The newspaper industry as a whole is experiencing challenges to maintain and grow print circulation and revenues. This results from, among other factors, increased competition from other media, particularly the growth of electronic media, and shifting preferences among some consumers to receive all or a portion of their news other than from a newspaper. The customer base for our Shoom products is focused on the newspaper publishing industry and therefore sales from this operating sector will be subject to the future of the newspaper industry.
Our competitiveness depends significantly on our ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in our industry. Failure by us to anticipate and meet our customers’ technological needs could adversely affect our competitiveness and growth prospects.
We operate and compete in an industry characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing customer needs, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods. Our success depends on our ability to develop expertise with these new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods and to implement solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid changes in technology, the industry, and customer needs. The introduction of new products, product enhancements and distribution methods could decrease demand for current products or render them obsolete. Sales of products and services can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on our net sales if we fail to adapt to such changes in a timely manner.
Through our recent acquisitions, including the on device positioning technology acquired from Ten Degrees and the acquisition of the Nanotron business, we have attempted to diversify our product offerings and increase our presence in new market verticals. There can be no assurances that consumer or commercial demand for our future products will meet, or even approach, our expectations. In addition, our pricing and marketing strategies may not be successful. Lack of customer demand, a change in marketing strategy and changes to our pricing models could dramatically alter our financial results. Unless we are
able to release location based products that meet a significant market demand, we will not be able to improve our financial condition or the results of our future operations.
If we unable to sell additional products and services to our customers and increase our overall customer base, our future revenue and operating results may suffer.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the deployment of newly acquired technologies with existing customers and finding new customers to sell our products and services to. This may require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts and may not result in additional sales. In addition, the rate at which our customers purchase additional products and services, and our ability to attract new customers, depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for indoor mapping products and services, as well as general economic conditions. If our efforts to sell additional products and services are not successful, our business may suffer.
We operate in a highly competitive market and we may be required to reduce the prices for some of our products and services to remain competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our industry is developing rapidly and related technology trends are constantly evolving. In this environment, we face, among other things, significant price competition from our competitors. As a result, we may be forced to reduce the prices of the products and services we sell in response to offerings made by our competitors and may not be able to maintain the level of bargaining power that we have enjoyed in the past when negotiating the prices of our products and services.
Our profitability is dependent on the prices we are able to charge for our products and services. The prices we are able to charge for our products and services are affected by a number of factors, including:
•our customers’ perceptions of our ability to add value through our products and services;
•introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;
•our competitors’ pricing policies;
•our ability to charge higher prices where market demand or the value of our products or services justifies it;
•procurement practices of our customers; and
•general economic and political conditions.
If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our products and services, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
A delay in the completion of our customers’ budget processes could delay purchases of our products and services and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We rely on our customers to purchase products and services from us to maintain and increase our earnings, and customer purchases are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple approvals and unplanned administrative, processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific customer are not realized when anticipated or at all, our results could fall short of public expectations and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Digital threats such as cyber-attacks, data protection breaches, computer viruses or malware may disrupt our operations, harm our operating results and damage our reputation, and cyber-attacks or data protection breaches on our customers’ networks, or in cloud-based services provided by or enabled by us, could result in liability for us, damage our reputation or otherwise harm our business.
Despite our implementation of network security measures, the products and services we sell to customers, and our servers, data centers and the cloud-based solutions on which our data, and data of our customers, suppliers and business
partners are stored, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, data protection breaches, computer viruses, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering or human error. Any such event could compromise our networks or those of our customers, and the information stored on our networks or those of our customers could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, which could subject us to liability to our customers, business partners and others, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition and may cause damage to our reputation. Efforts to limit the ability of malicious third parties to disrupt the operations of the Internet or undermine our own security efforts may be costly to implement and meet with resistance, and may not be successful. Breaches of network security in our customers’ networks, or in cloud-based services provided by or enabled by us, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to a vulnerability in our products or services, could result in liability for us, damage our reputation or otherwise harm our business.
Any failures or interruptions in our services or systems could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Our success depends in part on our ability to provide reliable remote services, technology integration and managed services to our customers. The operations of our Cloud based applications and analytics are susceptible to damage or interruption from human error, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks and similar events. We could also experience failures or interruptions of our systems and services, or other problems in connection with our operations, as a result of:
•damage to or failure of our computer software or hardware or our connections;
•errors in the processing of data by our systems;
•computer viruses or software defects;
•physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events;
•increased capacity demands or changes in systems requirements of our customers; and
•errors by our employees or third-party service providers.
Any production interruptions for any reason, such as a natural disaster, epidemic, capacity shortages, or quality problems, at one of our manufacturing partners would negatively affect sales of product lines manufactured by that manufacturing partner and adversely affect our business and operating results.
Any interruptions in our systems or services could damage our reputation and substantially harm our business and results of operations. While we maintain disaster recovery plans and insurance with coverage we believe to be adequate, claims may exceed insurance coverage limits, may not be covered by insurance or insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.
We rely on a limited number of key customers, the importance of which may vary dramatically from year to year, and a loss of one or more of these key customers may adversely affect our operating results.
Our top three customers accounted for approximately 16% and 43% of our gross revenue during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenue, one customer accounted for 8% of our gross revenue in 2021 and a separate customer accounted for 26% in 2020; however, each of these customers may or may not continue to be a significant contributor to revenue in 2022. The loss of a significant amount of business from one of our major customers would materially and adversely affect our results of operations until such time, if ever, as we are able to replace the lost business. Significant customers or projects in any one period may not continue to be significant customers or projects in other periods. To the extent that we are dependent on any single customer, we are subject to the risks faced by that customer to the extent that such risks impede the customer’s ability to stay in business and make timely payments to us.
We may need additional cash financing and any failure to obtain cash financing, could limit our ability to grow our business and develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges.
We expect that we will need to raise funds in order to continue our operations and implement our plans to grow our business. However, if we decide to seek additional capital, we may be unable to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise the required cash, our ability to grow our business and develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges could be limited.
If we cannot collect our receivables or if payment is delayed, our business may be adversely affected by our inability to generate cash flow, provide working capital or continue our business operations.
Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our customers of the amounts they owe us for products received from us and any work performed by us. The timely collection of our receivables allows us to generate cash flow, provide working capital and continue our business operations. Our customers may fail to pay or delay the payment of invoices for a number of reasons, including financial difficulties resulting from macroeconomic conditions or lack of an approved budget. An extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. If we are unable to timely collect our receivables from our customers for any reason, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
If our products fail to satisfy customer demands or to achieve increased market acceptance our results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.
The market acceptance of our products are critical to our continued success. Demand for our products is affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including continued market acceptance, the timing of development and release of new products by competitors, technological change, and growth or decline in the mobile device management market. We expect the proliferation of mobile devices to lead to an increase in the data security demands of our customers, and our products may not be able to scale and perform to meet those demands. If we are unable to continue to meet customer demands or to achieve more widespread market acceptance of these products, our business operations, financial results and growth prospects will be materially and adversely affected.
Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in our products or services or the failure of such products or services to prevent a security breach, could harm our reputation and adversely affect our results of operations.
Because our location based security products and services are complex, they have contained and may contain design or manufacturing defects or errors that are not detected until after their commercial release and deployment by customers. Defects may cause such products to be vulnerable to advanced persistent threats ("APTs") or security attacks, cause them to fail to help secure information or temporarily interrupt customers’ networking traffic. Because the techniques used by hackers to access sensitive information change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques and provide a solution in time to protect customers’ data. In addition, defects or errors in our subscription updates or products could result in a failure to effectively update customers’ hardware products and thereby leave customers vulnerable to APTs or security attacks.
Any defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our products could result in:
•expenditure of significant financial and product development resources in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate, or work-around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities;
•delayed or lost revenue;
•loss of existing or potential customers or partners;
•increased warranty claims compared with historical experience, or increased cost of servicing warranty claims, either of which would adversely affect gross margins; and
•litigation, regulatory inquiries, or investigations that may be costly and harm our reputation
Our current research and development efforts may not produce successful products or features that result in significant revenue, cost savings or other benefits in the near future. If we do not realize significant revenue from our research and development efforts, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Developing products and related enhancements in our field is expensive. Investments in research and development may not result in significant design improvements, marketable products or features or may result in products that are more expensive than anticipated. We may not achieve the cost savings or the anticipated performance improvements expected, and we may take longer to generate revenue from products in development, or generate less revenue than expected.
Our future plans include significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities. Our management believes that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. However, we may not receive significant revenue from these investments in the near future, or these investments may not yield the expected benefits, either of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Misuse of our products could harm our reputation.
Our products, particularly our location based security and detection products, may be misused by customers or third parties that obtain access to such products. For example, location information combined with other information about the same users in the hands of criminals could result in misuse of the data and privacy law violations and result in negative press coverage and negatively affect our reputation.
If the general level of advanced attacks declines, or is perceived by current or potential customers to have declined, this could harm our location based security and detection operating segment, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
Our location based security and detection-operating segment is substantially dependent upon enterprises and governments recognizing that APTs and other security attacks are pervasive and are not effectively prevented by legacy security solutions. High visibility attacks on prominent enterprises and governments have increased market awareness of the problem of APTs and security attacks and help to provide an impetus for enterprises and governments to devote resources to protecting against attacks, such as testing our platform, purchasing it, and broadly deploying it within their organizations. If APTs and other security attacks were to decline, or enterprises or governments perceived that the general level of attacks has declined, our ability to attract new customers and expand its offerings for existing customers could be materially and adversely affected, which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
If our location based security and detection products do not effectively interoperate with our customers’ IT infrastructure, installations could be delayed or cancelled, which would harm our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
Our products must effectively interoperate with our customers’ existing or future IT infrastructure, which often has different specifications, utilizes multiple protocol standards, deploys products from multiple vendors, and contains multiple generations of products that have been added over time. As a result, when problems occur in a company’s infrastructure, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ infrastructure, we may have to modify its software or hardware so that our products will interoperate with the infrastructure of our customers. In such cases, our products may be unable to provide significant performance improvements for applications deployed in the infrastructure of our customers. These issues could cause longer installation times for our products and could cause order cancellations, either of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, other customers may require products to comply with certain security or other certifications and standards. If our products are late in achieving or fail to achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, or competitors sooner achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, we may be disqualified from selling our products to such customers, or may otherwise be at a competitive disadvantage, either of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors, legal and regulatory requirements, public health and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.
We provide our products and services to customers worldwide. These risks differ from and potentially may be greater than those associated with our domestic business.
Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geo-political uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments and potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, risks and uncertainties, as well as U.S. foreign policy.
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may differ from U.S. Government regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings, as well as to varying currency, geo-political and economic risks. Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. Our international contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience award and funding delays on international programs and could incur losses on such programs, which could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are also subject to a number of other risks including:
•the absence in some jurisdictions of effective laws to protect our intellectual property rights;
•multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws;
•restrictions on movement of cash;
•the burdens of complying with a variety of national and local laws;
•political instability;
•currency fluctuations;
•longer payment cycles;
•restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies;
•price controls or restrictions on exchange of foreign currencies; and
•trade barriers.
In addition, our international operations (or those of our business partners) could be subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding, typhoons and volcanic eruptions that disrupt manufacturing or other operations. There may be conflict or uncertainty in the countries in which we operate, including public health issues (for example, an outbreak of a contagious disease such as 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), avian influenza, measles or Ebola), safety issues, natural disasters, fire, disruptions of service from utilities, nuclear power plant accidents or general economic or political factors. For example, as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, our ability to source internal connection cables for certain of our sensors has been delayed, which will require us to source these components from other vendors at a higher price that may result in an increase in our costs to produce our products In the event our customers are materially impacted by these events, it may impact anticipated orders and planned shipments for our products. With respect to political factors, the United Kingdom’s 2016 referendum, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” has created economic and political uncertainty in the European Union. Also, the
European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation imposes significant new requirements on how we collect, process and transfer personal data, as well as significant fines for non-compliance. Any of the above risks, should they occur, could result in an increase in the cost of components, production delays, general business interruptions, delays from difficulties in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, longer payment cycles, increased taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of funds and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, any of which could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our international operations are subject to special U.S. government laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and regulations and procurement policies and practices, including regulations to import-export control, which may expose us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.
Our international operations are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and deal with governmental customers in countries known to experience corruption, including certain countries in the Middle East and in the future, the Far East. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants or contractors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. We are also subject to import-export control regulations restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the export of certain products, services, and technical data, including requirements regarding any applicable licensing of our employees involved in such work.
Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Weak economic conditions generally, sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, or a prolonged or further tightening of credit markets could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on technology products or services or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues and the availability of credit, in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices and wavering business and consumer confidence, have precipitated an economic slowdown and uncertain global outlook. Domestic and international equity markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on our business. In the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global economic recovery, we could incur significant losses.
Changes in U.S. administrative policy, including changes to existing trade agreements and any resulting changes in international relations, could adversely affect our financial performance and supply chain economics.
As a result of changes to U.S. administrative policy, among other possible changes, there may be (i) changes to existing trade agreements; (ii) greater restrictions on free trade generally; and (iii) significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States, particularly those manufactured in China. China is currently a leading global source of hardware products, including the hardware products that we use. In January 2020, the U.S. and China entered into Phase One of the Economic and Trade Agreement Between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China (the “Phase One Trade Agreement”). The Phase One Trade Agreement takes steps to ease certain trade tensions between the U.S. and China, including tensions involving intellectual property theft and forced intellectual property transfers by China. Although the Phase One Trade Agreement is an encouraging sign of progress in the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, questions still remain as to the enforcement of its terms, the resolution of a number of other points of dispute between the parties, and the prevention of further tensions. If the U.S.-China trade dispute re-escalates or relations between the United States and China deteriorate, these conditions could adversely affect our ability to source our hardware products and therefore our ability to manufacture our products. Our ability to manufacture our products could also be affected by economic uncertainty, in China or by our failure to establish a positive reputation and relationships in China. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our ability to source the components necessary to manufacture our products, which, in turn, could cause our long-term business, financial condition and operating results to be materially adversely affected.
There is also a possibility of future tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export regulations or other restrictions imposed on our products or on our customers by the United States, China or other countries that could have a material adverse effect on our business. A significant trade disruption or the establishment or increase of any tariffs, trade protection measures or restrictions could result in lost sales adversely impacting our reputation and business. A trade war, other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements, changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently do business or any resulting negative sentiments towards the United States could adversely affect our supply chain economics, consolidated revenue, earnings and cash flow.
We intend to use and leverage open source technology in which may create risks of security weaknesses.
Some parts of our technology may be based on open-source technology, including, but not limited to the technology that we may use in our Indoor Intelligence products. There is a risk that the development team or other third parties may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructure elements of our technology solutions interfering with the use of such technology or causing loss to the Company.
We may not be able to develop new products or enhance our product to keep pace with our industry’s rapidly changing technology and customer requirements.
The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological changes, new product introductions, enhancements, and evolving industry standards. Our business prospects depend on our ability to develop new products and applications for our technology in new markets that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances, while improving performance and cost-effectiveness. New technologies, techniques or products could emerge that might offer better combinations of price and performance than the blockchain technology solutions that are being developed by the Company. It is important that we anticipate changes in technology and market demand. If we do not successfully innovate and introduce new technology into our anticipated technology solutions or effectively manage the transitions of our technology to new product offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
Domestic and foreign government regulation and enforcement of data practices and data tracking technologies is expansive, broadly defined and rapidly evolving. Such regulation could directly restrict portions of our business or indirectly affect our business by constraining our customers’ use of our technology and services or limiting the growth of our markets.
Federal, state, municipal and/or foreign governments and agencies have adopted and could in the future adopt, modify, apply or enforce laws, policies, and regulations covering user privacy, data security, technologies that are used to collect, store and/or process data, and/or the collection, use, processing, transfer, storage and/or disclosure of data associated with individuals. The categories of data regulated under these laws vary widely, are often broadly defined, and subject to new applications or interpretation by regulators. The uncertainty and inconsistency among these laws, coupled with a lack of guidance as to how these laws will be applied to current and emerging indoor positioning analytics technologies, creates a risk that regulators, lawmakers or other third parties, such as potential plaintiffs, may assert claims, pursue investigations or audits, or engage in civil or criminal enforcement. These actions could limit the market for our services and technologies or impose burdensome requirements on our services and/or customers’ use of our services, thereby rendering our business unprofitable.
Some features of our services may trigger the data protection requirements of certain foreign jurisdictions, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and the EU ePrivacy Directive. In addition, our services may be subject to regulation under current or future laws or regulations. For instance, the EU ePrivacy Directive is soon to be replaced in its entirety by the ePrivacy Regulation, which will bring with it an updated set of rules relevant to many aspects of our business. If our treatment of data, privacy practices or data security measures fail to comply with these current or future laws and regulations in any of the jurisdictions in which we collect and/or process information, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, civil or criminal enforcement, financial penalties, audits or other liabilities in such jurisdictions, or our customers may terminate their relationships with us. In addition, data protection laws, such as the GDPR, foreign court judgments or regulatory actions could affect our ability to transfer, process and/or receive transnational data that is critical to our operations, including data relating to users, customers, or partners outside the United States. For instance, the GDPR restricts transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area, including to the United States, subject to certain
requirements. Such data protection laws, judgments or actions could affect the manner in which we provide our services or adversely affect our financial results if foreign customers and partners are not able to lawfully transfer data to us.
This area of the law is currently under intense government scrutiny and many governments, including the U.S. government, are considering a variety of proposed regulations that would restrict or impact the conditions under which data obtained from individuals could be collected, processed, stored, transferred, sold or shared with third parties. In addition, regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General are continually proposing new regulations and interpreting and applying existing regulations in new ways. For example, in June 2018, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new informational, disclosure and operational requirements for companies, effective January 2020. Fines for non-compliance may be up to $7,500 per violation. The burdens imposed by the GDPR and CCPA, and changes to existing laws or new laws regulating the solicitation, collection, processing, or sharing of personal and consumer information, and consumer protection could affect our customers’ utilization of our services and technology and could potentially reduce demand, or impose restrictions that make it more difficult or expensive for us to provide our services.
In addition, ongoing legal challenges in Europe to the mechanisms allowing companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States could result in further limitations on the ability to transfer data across borders, particularly if governments are unable or unwilling to reach new or maintain existing agreements that support cross-border data transfers, such as the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks and the European Commission’s Model Contractual Clauses, each of which are currently under particular scrutiny. Additionally, certain countries have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our services, reduce overall demand for our services, make it more difficult to meet expectations from or commitments to customers, lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, impact our reputation, or slow the pace at which we close sales transactions, any of which could harm our business.
Furthermore, the uncertain and shifting regulatory environment and trust climate may cause concerns regarding data privacy and may cause our customers or our customers’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our customers to use our services effectively. Even the perception that the privacy of personal information is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our products or services and could limit adoption of our cloud-based solutions.
If our customers fail to abide by applicable privacy laws or to provide adequate notice and/or obtain any required consent from end users, we could be subject to litigation or enforcement action or reduced demand for our services.
Our customers utilize our services and technologies to track connected devices anonymously and we must rely on our customers to implement and administer notice and choice mechanisms required under applicable laws. If we or our customers fail to abide by these laws, it could result in litigation or regulatory or enforcement action against our customers or against us directly.
Any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policy or legal or regulatory requirements in one or multiple jurisdictions could result in proceedings, actions or penalties against us.
Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of personal data or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.
Evolving and changing definitions of what constitutes “Personal Information” and “Personal Data” within the EU, the United States and elsewhere, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business, including limiting technology alliance partners that may involve the sharing of data.
If we are perceived to cause, or are otherwise unfavorably associated with, violations of privacy or data security requirements, it may subject us or our customers to public criticism, financial penalties and potential legal liability. Existing and potential privacy laws and regulations concerning privacy and data security and increasing sensitivity of consumers to unauthorized processing of personal data may create negative public reactions to technologies, products and services such as ours. Public concerns regarding personal data processing, privacy and security may cause some of our customers’ end users to be less likely to visit their venues or otherwise interact with them. If enough end users choose not to visit our customers’ venues or otherwise interact with them, our customers could stop using our platform. This, in turn, may reduce the value of our service, and slow or eliminate the growth of our business, or cause our business to contract.
Around the world, there are numerous lawsuits in process against various technology companies that process personal information and personal data. If those lawsuits are successful, it could increase the likelihood that our company may be exposed to liability for our own policies and practices concerning the processing of personal data and could hurt our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by laws, regulations and policies concerning privacy and data security that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of our technologies and reduce overall demand for it. Privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our technologies. Additionally, concerns about security or privacy may result in the adoption of new legislation that restricts the implementation of technologies like ours or require us to make modifications to our existing services and technology, which could significantly limit the adoption and deployment of our technologies or result in significant expense.
Risks Related to the Spin-off
The Spin-off could give rise to disputes or other unfavorable effects, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
Disputes with third parties could arise out of the Spin-off, and we could experience unfavorable reactions to the Spin-off from employees, investors, or other interested parties. These disputes and reactions of third parties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations. In addition, following the Spin-off, disputes between us and Sysorex could arise in connection with any of the Spin-off related agreements.
We agreed to indemnify Sysorex for certain liabilities.
Pursuant to the terms of that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated August 7, 2018, as amended, the Company agreed to indemnify Sysorex for certain liabilities. Although no such liabilities are currently anticipated, if we have to indemnify Sysorex for unanticipated liabilities, the cost of such indemnification obligations may have a material and adverse effect on our financial performance.
A court could deem the Spin-off to be a fraudulent conveyance and void the transaction or impose substantial liabilities upon us.
If a third party challenged the transaction, a court could deem the Spin-off or certain internal restructuring transactions undertaken in connection with the Spin-off to be a fraudulent conveyance or transfer. Fraudulent conveyances or transfers are defined to include transfers made or obligations incurred with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud current or future creditors or transfers made or obligations incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value when the debtor was insolvent, or that rendered the debtor insolvent, inadequately capitalized or unable to pay its debts as they become due. In such circumstances, a court could void the transactions or impose substantial liabilities upon us, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations. Among other things, the court could require our stockholders to return to us some or all of the shares of Sysorex common stock issued in the Spin-off or require us to fund liabilities of Sysorex for the benefit of creditors.
Changes in the value of the Sysorex common stock we own may result in material fluctuations (increases or decreases) in our total asset value and net income on a quarterly basis.
We entered into a note purchase agreement with Sysorex, as amended from time to time, pursuant to which we agreed to loan Sysorex up to an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 on a revolving credit basis (the "Sysorex Note"). On March 1, 2020, we agreed to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2022. On April 14, 2021,
we entered into a Securities Settlement Agreement (the “SSA”) and a Rights Letter Agreement (the “RLA”), with Sysorex, whereby it agreed to satisfy in full its outstanding debt, in the aggregate amount of $9,088,176 as of March 31, 2021, owed to the Company, including but, not limited to, amounts outstanding under the Sysorex Note (the “Debt Settlement”). To effect the Debt Settlement, Sysorex agreed to issue to us (i) pursuant to the terms of the SSA, 12,972,189 shares of its common stock and (ii) rights to acquire 3,000,000 additional shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of the RLA. The Debt Settlement was entered into in connection with Sysorex’s closing of a reverse triangular merger with TTM Digital Assets & Technologies, Inc.
The Company recorded $7.5 million for the release of the previously recorded valuation allowance related to the Sysorex Note, $1.6 million of interest income, and a gain on settlement of $49.8 million equal to the difference in the carry value of the Sysorex Note, including interest, and the value of the common stock and rights to acquire additional shares received in the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the value of these securities decreased to $1.8 million from the prior quarter as a result of the corresponding decrease in Sysorex's common stock price. Accordingly, the unrealized loss on the Sysorex note increased to $57.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to an unrealized loss of $51.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Consequently, the shares of common stock of Sysorex we own, which are inherently volatile. Accordingly, the value of our total assets and as a consequence, the price of our common stock may decline or increase regardless of our operating performance, which may result in losses for investors purchasing shares of our common stock. Further, to the extent that we experience unrealized losses in connection with such securities from declines in securities values that management determines to be other than temporary, the book value of those securities will be adjusted to their estimated recovery value and we will recognize a charge to earnings in the quarter during which we make that determination. Additionally, the Company has no control over the price the Company will eventually receive as a result of the disposition of such assets and may be unable to sell the aforementioned securities at favorable prices quickly or when desired.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in the future.
If we fail to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively affected.
Our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INPX.” This market has continued listing standards that we must comply with in order to maintain the listing of our common stock. The continued listing standards include, among others, a minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share and any of: (i) a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million; (ii) a market value of listed securities of at least $35.0 million; or (iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in the two of the last three fiscal years. Our results of operations and fluctuating stock price directly affect our ability to satisfy these continued listing standards. In the event we are unable to maintain these continued listing standards, our common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In several instances in the past, including as recently as on October 25, 2021, we received written notification from Nasdaq informing us that because the closing bid price of our common stock was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, our shares no longer complied with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Each time, we were given a period of 180 days from the date of the notification to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements by having the closing bid price of our common stock listed on Nasdaq be at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trading days.
While we have regained compliance within the applicable time periods in the past but not in connection with the October 25, 2021 notice. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 25, 2022, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. In the event that we do not regain compliance within this 180-day period, we may be
eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting.
If our common stock is delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, the exercise of the Warrants by U.S. holders may not be exempt from state securities laws. As a result, depending on the state of residence of a holder of the Warrants, a U.S. holder may not be able to exercise its Warrants unless we comply with any state securities law requirements necessary to permit such exercise or an exemption applies. Although we plan to use our reasonable efforts to assure that U.S. holders will be able to exercise their Warrants under applicable state securities laws if no exemption exists, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. As a result, your ability to exercise the Warrants may be limited. The value of the Warrants may be significantly reduced if U.S. holders are not able to exercise their Warrants under applicable state securities laws.
Delisting could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
•our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions;
•changes in our industry;
•competitive pricing pressures;
•our ability to obtain working capital financing;
•additions or departures of key personnel;
•limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
•sales of our common stock;
•operating results that fall below expectations;
•regulatory developments;
•economic and other external factors;
•period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;
•our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies;
•the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;
•changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;
•the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock; and
•any future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders.
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Your investment may suffer a decline in value as a result of the volatility of our stock.
The closing market price for our common stock has varied between a high of $1.39 on March 1, 2021, and a low of $0.31 on February 23, 2022, in the twelve-month period ended February 26, 2022. During this time, the price per share of common stock has ranged from an intra-day low of $0.31 per share to an intra-day high of $1.59 per share. As a result of
fluctuations in the price of our common stock, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. The market price of our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market, industry and other factors, including the other risk factors described in this section. The market price of our common stock may also be dependent upon the valuations and recommendations of the analysts who cover our business. If the results of our business do not meet these analysts’ forecasts, the expectations of investors or the financial guidance we provide to investors in any period, the market price of our common stock could decline.
In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced significant volatility that has often been unrelated to the financial condition or results of operations of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and, consequently, adversely affect the price at which you could sell the shares that you purchase in this offering. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market or significant price declines, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. As of March 3, 2022, a significant portion of our outstanding shares of common stock outstanding are free trading.
Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares. For example, in June 2021, the SEC declared effective a shelf registration statement filed by us. This shelf registration statement allows us to issue any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units, debt securities and subscription rights from time to time until expiry in June 2021 for an aggregate initial offering price of up to $350 million, subject to certain limitations. As of March 3, 2022, we had an aggregate remaining amount of $232.5 million available for the issuance of securities in offerings under this registration statement. The specific terms of future offerings, if any, under this shelf registration statement would be established at the time of such offering. Depending on a variety of factors, including market liquidity of our common stock, the sale of shares under this shelf registration statement may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under this shelf registration statement, or anticipation of such sales, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise desire.
We had outstanding 150,324,038 shares of common stock as of March 3, 2022 of which 215,516 were issued as restricted stock grants to employees and subject to forfeitures in accordance with their terms. In addition, as March 3, 2022, there were 5 shares issuable upon conversion of 1 share of Series 4 Convertible Preferred Stock, 841 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 126 shares of Series 5 Convertible Preferred Stock, 39,400,000 shares issuable upon conversion of 49,250 shares of Series of Series 7 Preferred Stock; 47,093,250 shares subject to outstanding warrants, 28,543,072 shares subject to outstanding options under the Company’s equity incentive plans, 1 share subject to an option not under such plans and up to an additional 14,456,998 shares of common stock which may be issued under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock
Incentive Plan that will become, or have already become, eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by any applicable vesting requirements, lock-up agreements, if any, Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in connection with their registration under the Securities Act. The issuance or sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock. In the future, we also may issue our securities if we need to raise additional capital. The number of new shares of our common stock issued in connection with raising additional capital could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of our common
Historically, we have used our shares of common stock to satisfy our outstanding debt obligations, and, in the future, we expect to continue to issue our securities to raise additional capital or satisfy outstanding debt obligations. The number of new shares of our common stock issued in connection with raising additional capital or satisfying our outstanding debt obligations could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock.
There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Our articles of incorporation allows us to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and to issue and designate the rights of, without stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive common stock or the perception that such sales could occur.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling our stock.
We have never paid any dividends to our common stockholders as a public company. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we determine that we will pay cash dividends to the holders of our common stock, we cannot assure that such cash dividends will be paid on a timely basis. The success of your investment in our Company will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.
Some provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Our Board has the ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock without future shareholder approval. This makes it possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares and/or any other transaction that might otherwise be deemed to be in their best interests, and thereby protects the continuity of our management and limits an investor’s opportunity to profit by their investment in the Company. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
•diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
•putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board, or
•effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Law may discourage acquirers and eliminate a potentially beneficial sale for our stockholders.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 78.438 of the Nevada Revised Statutes concerning corporate takeovers. This section prevents many Nevada corporations from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder, under specified circumstances. For these purposes, a business combination includes a merger or sale of more than 5% of our assets, and an interested stockholder includes a stockholder who owns 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, as well as affiliates and associates of these persons. Under these provisions, this type of business combination is prohibited for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:
•the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the Board prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;
•on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 90% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction was commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers; or
•on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
Our indemnification of our officers and directors may cause us to use corporate resources to the detriment of our stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. This limitation does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law.
Under Nevada law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:
•conducted himself or herself in good faith, reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and
•in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are required to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As a result, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, if necessary, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs could materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. Additionally, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, as defined under the Exchange Act, and we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent registered public accountants’ certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected. As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.
If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls, we may not have adequate, accurate or timely financial information, and we may be unable to meet our reporting obligations as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act , we may be unable to accurately report our financial results in future periods, or report them within the timeframes required by the requirements of the SEC, Nasdaq or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act . Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when and as applicable, could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in identification of additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Furthermore, if we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and results of operations could be harmed and investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits
and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our common stock or if they issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.
We may be or may become the target of securities litigation, which is costly and time-consuming to defend.
Following periods of market volatility in the price of a company’s securities or the reporting of unfavorable news, security holders may institute class action litigation. If the market value of our securities experience adverse fluctuations and we become involved in this type of litigation, regardless of the outcome, we could incur substantial legal costs and our management’s attention could be diverted from the operation of our business, causing our business to suffer.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Overview of Our Business
Inpixon is the Indoor Intelligence™ company. Our solutions and technologies help organizations create and redefine exceptional workplace experiences that enable smarter, safer and more secure environments. We leverage our positioning, mapping, analytics and app technologies to achieve higher levels of productivity and performance, increase safety and security,
improve worker and employee satisfaction rates and drive a more connected workplace. We have focused our corporate strategy on being the primary provider of the full range of foundational technologies needed in order to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions that make indoor data available and meaningful to organizations and their employees.
Our Indoor Intelligence solutions are used by our customers for a variety of use cases including, but not limited to, employee and visitor experience enhancement through a customer branded app with features such as desk booking, wayfinding and navigation, and the delivery of content to tens of thousands of attendees in hybrid events. Our real time location (RTLS) and asset tracking products offer manufacturing and warehouse logistics optimization and automation, increase workforce productivity, and enhance worker safety and security.
In addition to our Indoor Intelligence technologies and solutions, we also offer:
• Digital solutions (eTearsheets; eInvoice, adDelivery) or cloudbased applications and analytics for the advertising, media and publishing industries y advertising management platform referred to as Shoom by Inpixon; and
• A comprehensive set of data analytics and statistical visualization solutions for engineers and scientists referred to as SAVES by Inpixon.
We report financial results for three segments: Indoor Intelligence, Shoom and SAVES. For Indoor Intelligence, we generate revenue from sales of hardware, software licenses and professional services. For Shoom and SAVES we generate revenue from the sale of software licenses.
Revenues increased in the year ended December 31, 2021 over the same period in 2020 by approximately $6.7 million which is primarily attributable to an approximate $5.0 million increase in Indoor Intelligence sales, including our smart office app and real time location based technologies, and an increase of approximately $1.7 million of SAVES sales. We expect to continue to grow our Indoor Intelligence product line in 2022. The Indoor Intelligence product line does have long sales cycles, which result from customer-related issues such as budget and procurement processes but also because of the early stages of indoor-positioning technology and the learning curve required for customers to implement such solutions. Customers also often engage in a pilot program first which prolongs sales cycles and is typical of most emerging technology adoption curves. We anticipate sales cycles to improve in 2022 as our customer base moves from early adopters to mainstream customers. The sales cycle is also improving with the increased presence and awareness of beacon and Wi-Fi locationing technologies in the market. Indoor Intelligence sales can be licensed-based with government customers but commercial customers typically prefer a SaaS or subscription model. Our other digital solutions are also delivered on a SaaS model and allow us to generate industry analytics that complement our indoor-positioning solutions.
We experienced a net loss of approximately $70.1 million and $29.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase in loss of approximately $40.9 million was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses of $53.8 million primarily as a result of increased operating expenses related to the acquisitions completed in 2021, stock based compensation and a goodwill impairment offset by the higher gross margin of $4.9 million and reduced other loss of $6.6 million. We cannot assure that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In order to continue our operations, we have supplemented the revenues we earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity and debt securities and proceeds from loans and bank credit lines.

Warrant and Note Exchanges
On January 28, 2022, we entered into an exchange agreement with the holder (the “Warrant Holder”) of certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 49,305,088 shares of our common stock (the “Existing Warrants”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue an aggregate of 13,811,407 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Exchange Common Shares”) and rights (the “Rights”) to receive an aggregate of 3,938,424 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Reserved Shares” and together with the Exchange Common Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) to such warrant holder in exchange for the cancellation of the Existing Warrants (the “Warrant Exchange”). Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Rights may be exercised by the Warrant Holder for the Reserved Shares, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the date of the Exchange Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. On any Trading Day (as defined in the Existing Warrants) during the period commencing on the date of of the exchange agreement and ending on March 29, 2022 (such period, the “Restricted Period”), the warrant holder will not sell on such Trading Day, in the aggregate, any Exchange Shares in an aggregate amount representing more than 10% of the daily composite trading volume of common stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP on such applicable Trading Day.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its Indoor Intelligence systems, and professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple distinct products and services. Our licenses are sold as perpetual or term licenses and the arrangements typically contain various combinations of maintenance and professional services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations. In determining how revenue should be recognized, a five-step process is used, which requires judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process. The most critical judgements required in applying ASC 606 Revenue Recognition from Customers, and our revenue recognition policy relate to the determination of distinct performance obligations.
•We receive fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. Revenue is recognized at point in time when the customer has title to the product and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
•Revenue related to software as a service contract is recognized over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we are providing continuous access to its service.
•Design and implementation revenue is accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Accounting for these contracts involves the use of estimates to determine total contract costs to be incurred.
•Professional services revenue under fixed fee contracts is recognized over time using the input method (direct labor hours) to recognize revenue over the term of the contract. We have elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because our right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date.
•We recognize revenue related to Maintenance Services evenly over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we provide continuous service, and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance as the services are performed.
We also consider whether an arrangement has any discounts, material rights, or specified future upgrades that may represent additional performance obligations. We offer discounts in the form of prompt payment discounts and rebates for a decrease in service level percentages. We have determined that the most likely amount method is most useful for contracts that provides these discounts and rebates as the contracts have two potential outcomes and a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not expected to occur. Discounts have not historically been significant, but we continue to monitor and evaluate these estimates based on historical experience, anticipated performance, and our best judgment. Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses (i.e., a distinct good or service), and revenue attributed to the distinct good or service cannot be recognized until (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. If any of these judgments were to change it could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue we report in a particular period.
Goodwill, Acquired Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets - Impairment Assessments
Long-lived assets are grouped for recognition and measurement of impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. The impairment test for long-lived assets requires us to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing their net carrying value to the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows directly associated with and arising from our use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the net carrying value of a group of long-lived assets exceeds the sum of related undiscounted estimated future cash flows, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess, if any, of net carrying value over fair value.
When assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. Some of these assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and bear a significant impact on the assessment conclusions. Included among these assumptions are estimating undiscounted future cash flows, including the projection of comparable sales, operating expenses, capital requirements for maintaining property and equipment and residual value of asset groups. We formulate estimates from historical experience and assumptions of future performance, based on business plans and forecasts, recent economic and business trends, and competitive conditions. In the event that our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge. Based on our evaluation we did not record a charge for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
We evaluate the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted. Such events or circumstances may include (but are not limited to): the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and/or other economic factors including the stability of the industry in which we operate, known technological advances, legislative actions, or changes in the regulatory environment. If the estimated remaining useful lives change, the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. We have determined that there were no events or circumstances during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which would indicate a revision to the remaining amortization period related to any of our long-lived assets. Accordingly, we believe that the current estimated useful lives of long-lived assets reflect the period over which they are expected to contribute to future cash flows and are therefore deemed appropriate.
We have recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with our acquisitions of Shoom, Locality, Jibestream, GTX, the Systat Parties, Nanotron, CXApp, Game Your Game and IntraNav. Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of the acquired company, is not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired in a business combination. The recoverability of goodwill is evaluated at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have determined that it operates and reports in three reporting units: Indoor Intelligence, Saves, and Shoom.
We analyzed goodwill first to assess qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, changes in the business environment and reporting unit specific events, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a detailed goodwill impairment test as required. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
If we bypass the qualitative assessment or conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then we perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. We calculate the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, we use internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others made by management: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, we use internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. We base these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. Due to the variables inherent in our estimates of fair value, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the result of our impairment analysis. For example, a 100 basis points increase or decrease in only the discount rate utilized as part of the discounted cash flow method (income approach) related to the Indoor Intelligence reporting unit could impact the overall fair value of the reporting unit, on a weighted average, by approximately $2.0 million (decrease) and $2.5 million (increase), respectively.
We performed the annual impairment test and has recorded impairment of goodwill of $14.8 million and zero during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Deferred Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), management routinely evaluates the likelihood of the realization of its income tax benefits and the recognition of its deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, management will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized on a jurisdictional basis. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing its analyses, management considers both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, management considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of our deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through December 31, 2021. After consideration of these factors, management deemed it appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets for Inpixon, Inpixon Canada, Nanotron GmbH, Intranav GmbH and Active Mind Technology LTD.
A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Any subsequent changes to any purchase price allocations that are material to our consolidated financial results will be adjusted. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and assessed for impairment thereafter until completion, at which point the asset is amortized over its expected useful life. Separately recognized transactions associated with business combinations are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date. The application of business combination and impairment accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date and are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date.

* Amounts used to calculate dollar and percentage changes are based on numbers in the thousands. Accordingly, calculations in this item, which may be rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, may not produce the same results.
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $16.0 million compared to $9.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year for an increase of approximately $6.7 million, or approximately 72%. This increase is primarily attributable to an approximate $5.0 million increase in Indoor Intelligence sales, including our smart office app and real time location based technologies, and an increase of approximately $1.7 million of SAVES sales. The increase in Indoor Intelligence sales of $5.0 million was driven by a $4.4 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of CXApp, Game Your Game, and IntraNav.
Gross Margin
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $4.4 million compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in cost of revenues of approximately $1.8 million, or approximately 67%, was primarily attributable to the increased sales during the year.
The gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 73% compared to 72% for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increased margin is primarily due to the sales mix during the year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $84.2 million and $30.5 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2020. This increase of $53.8 million is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses of the Indoor Intelligence segment by approximately $6.2 million due to the CXApp, Game Your Game, SAVES and, Nanotron acquisitions, approximately $6.5 million of accrued earnout compensation expense, $9.7 million of additional stock based compensation, $14.8 million impairment of goodwill and increases in other expenses including amortization of intangibles due to the acquisitions, professional fees and compensation costs as we are scaling for growth.
Loss From Operations
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $72.6 million as compared to $23.8 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in loss of $48.8 million is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses of $53.8 million as detailed above offset by the increased gross profit margin of approximately $4.9 million.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other income/expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was income of $1.1 million compared to a loss of $5.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in other income of approximately $6.6 million is primarily attributable to a discounted net gain of approximately $49.8 million on the Sysorex note, a $7.3 million benefit from the release of the valuation allowance on the Sysorex note and approximately $1.6 million of interest received on the Sysorex note offset by the $57.1 million unrealized loss on the Sysorex note.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was an income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The net income tax benefit for the current year is related to a current income tax expense of $1.2 million primarily from the gain on the Sysorex note offset by a $2.6 million deferred tax benefit primarily related to the release of a valuation allowance following the acquisition of intangibles of Design Reactor. The income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to intangibles and net operating losses of Jibestream amalgamated with Inpixon Canada during the period.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable To Non-Controlling Interest
Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was a loss of $1.0 million and a income of $0.02 million, respectively. The increase in loss of approximately $1.0 million was mainly attributable to the loss of the Game Your Game entity.
Net Loss Attributable To Stockholders of Inpixon
Net loss attributable to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $69.2 million compared to $29.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase in loss of approximately $39.9 million was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses of $53.8 million offset by the higher gross margin of $4.9 million and reduced other loss of $6.6 million.
Non-GAAP Financial information
EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as the matrix in which it manages the business. It is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021 was a loss of $29.6 million compared to a loss of $17.1 million for the prior year period.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Inpixon, which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the following:
•To review and assess the operating performance of our Company as permitted by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting;
•To compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry;
•As a basis for allocating resources to various projects;
•As a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and
•To evaluate internally the performance of our personnel.
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss). By including this information, we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because of the following:
•We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items including stock based compensation, amortization of intangibles, change in the fair value of shares to be issued, change in the fair value of derivative liability, impairment of goodwill and one time charges including gain/loss on the settlement of obligations, severance costs, provision for doubtful accounts, acquisition costs and the costs associated with the public offering.
•We believe that it is useful to provide to investors with a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and
•We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies.
Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
Proforma Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 was ($0.72) compared to ($1.01) for the prior year period. The decreased loss per share in 2021 was attributable to the changes discussed in our results of operations.
Proforma non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is used by our Company’s management as an evaluation tool as it manages the business and is defined as net income (loss) per basic and diluted share adjusted for non-cash items including stock based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one time charges including gain on the settlement of obligations, severance costs, provision for doubtful accounts, change in the fair value of shares to be issued, acquisition costs and the costs associated with the public offering.
Proforma non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2021 was ($0.26) compared to a loss of ($0.71) per share for the prior year period.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual obligations are cash that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered during our course of business. Our contractual obligations consists of operating lease liabilities and acquisition liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheet and vendor commitments associated with agreements that are legally binding. As of December 31, 2021, the total obligation for operating leases is approximately $1.9 million, of which approximately $0.7 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. Our vendor commitments are approximately $0.5 million all of which is expected in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2021, our obligation for acquisition liabilities is approximately $5.3 million of which approximately $5.1 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. In addition, at any time beginning on the Redemption Triggering Date and ending ninety (90) days thereafter, each holder of our Series 7 Preferred Stock may require us to redeem all or part of the shares then held by such holder in cash for a redemption price per share equal to the Redemption Amount (which may be increased in the event of certain events of default). Any holder that elects to redeem its shares of Series 7 Preferred Stock will be required to forfeit 75% of the corresponding warrants held by such holder. The aggregate Redemption Amount that we may be required to pay is equal to $49.25 million. As of March 15, 2022, we received redemption notices in an aggregate amount equal to $33.0 million and as of the date of this filing have redeemed 33,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 19,800,000 corresponding warrants have been forfeited.
Promissory Notes
As of March 16, 2022, the Company owed approximately $2.1 million in principal under promissory notes with approximately $3.5 million payable within the next twelve months inclusive of interest owed. The interest rate charged under the notes range from 8% to 10%. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $37.1 million consists of net loss of $70.1 million offset by non-cash adjustments of approximately $35.8 million less net cash changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $2.8 million. Although the Company has sustained significant losses during the 2021 year, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 we raised net proceeds of approximately $128 million from the sale of our securities in connection with registered direct offerings and the exercise of warrants. Given our current cash balances and budgeted cash flow requirements, the Company believes such funds are sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, debt repayments and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations for the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. However, general economic or other conditions resulting from COVID 19 or other events materially may impact the liquidity of our common stock or our ability to continue to access capital from the sale of our securities to support our growth plans. Our business has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may continue to be impacted. While we have been able to continue operations remotely, we have and continue to experience supply chain cost increases and constraints and delays in the receipt of certain components of our products impacting delivery times for our products. We have also seen some impact in the demand of certain products and delays in certain projects and customer orders either because they require onsite services which could not be performed as a result of new rules and regulations resulting from the pandemic, customer facilities being partially or fully closed during the pandemic or because of the uncertainty of the customer’s financial position and ability to invest in our technology.
Despite these challenges, including a decline in revenue for certain existing product lines, we were able to realize growth in total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to the year ended 2020, as a result of the addition of new product lines including a full year of sales associated with our SAVES and RTLS product lines, the addition of the CXApp and Game Your Game product lines during the second quarter of 2021 and the addition of the IIoT product line in the fourth quarter of 2021. The total impact that COVID-19 will have on general economic conditions is continuously evolving and the impact it may continue to have on our results of operations continues to remain uncertain and there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to experience the same growth or not be materially adversely effected. The Company may continue to pursue strategic transactions and may raise such additional capital as needed, using our equity securities and/or cash and debt financings in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Inpixon and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inpixon and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Intangible Assets for Business Acquisitions
Description of the Matter
During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company completed certain business combinations for net aggregate consideration of approximately $36.3 million. The transactions were accounted for as business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, on a preliminary basis, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values identified including intangible assets with aggregate fair values of approximately $23.5 million. The Company, with the assistance of third party valuation experts, estimated the fair values of the identified intangible assets using valuation models. Such valuation models require significant assumptions; these assumptions are primarily related to the complexity of the valuation models used to measure the fair value as well as the sensitivity of the fair value identified. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the identified intangible assets included discount rates, attrition rates, economic lives and financial projections including comparable company specific data. These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in our Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of certain attrition rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates for the identified intangible assets for the acquired entities included the following:
(1) We assessed the reasonableness of fiscal year 2022 forecasted cash flows of revenues and operating margins by comparing them to the acquired entities actual 2021 cash flows. (2) We assessed the reasonableness of the forecasted revenue growth rates and operating margins over the cash flow forecast period by comparing them to the acquired entities’ actual revenues and operating margins during the most recent historical period including the Company's marketing plans. (3) We evaluated the reasonableness of the (a) valuation methodologies; (b) terminal growth rates by comparing them to industry growth rates; (c) customer attrition rates by testing the mathematical accuracy of the rates used; and (d) discount rates, which included testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management. (4) We sensitized the projections and compared them to the valuation reports for reasonableness.
Valuation of Goodwill Impairment
Description of the Matter
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of the end of the fourth fiscal quarter by comparing the carrying values of each of the Company’s reporting units to their estimated fair values as of the test dates. The estimates of fair value of the reporting units are computed using a combination of both an income approach and a market approach.
Under the income approach, the Company utilizes the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future annual net cash flows for each reporting unit (including net sales, operating income margin, and working capital) and a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in each future cash flow stream. The Company selected assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, management’s plans, and guideline companies. Under the market approach, fair value is derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.
The goodwill balance was $21.8 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $21.8 million was allocated to the Indoor Intelligence reporting unit. As of the measurement date the carrying value of the Indoor Intelligence reporting unit exceeded the fair values as of the measurement date and, therefore, the Company recorded an impairment of $14.8 million.
We identified goodwill impairment as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate fair value given the sensitivity of operations to changes in demand for all reporting units and historical results and long-range strategic plans of the reporting units. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the selection of the discount rates and forecasts of future net sales for all reporting units, and the future operating income margins for the Indoor Intelligence reporting unit.
How We Addressed the Matter in our Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. (1) We evaluated the Company’s forecasted revenue (2) Evaluated the guideline companies used operated in a similar industry as the subject reporting unit. (3) The guideline companies and transaction appear appropriate (4) The Company used the appropriate modified capital asset pricing model and a weighted average cost of capital. (5) We sensitized the projections and compared them to the valuation report to materially assess the impact to the reported amount of the impairment.

The Company has determined that it operates and reports in three segments: Indoor Intelligence, Saves and Shoom. See Note 28 for further details.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company cannot assure you that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In order to continue our operations, we have supplemented the revenues we earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity and debt securities and proceeds from loans and bank credit lines. Our business has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may continue to be impacted. While we have been able to continue operations remotely, we have and continue to experience supply chain constraints and delays in the receipt of certain components of our products impacting delivery times for our products. We have also seen some impact in the demand of certain products and delays in certain projects and customer orders either because they require onsite services which could not be performed as a result of compliance with new rules and regulations resulting from the pandemic, customer facilities being partially or fully closed during the pandemic or because of the uncertainty of the customer’s financial position and ability to invest in our technology. Despite these challenges, including a decline in revenue for certain existing product lines, we were able to realize growth in total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to the year ended 2020, as a result of the addition of new product lines including a full year of sales associated with our SAVES and RTLS product lines, the addition of the CXApp and Game Your Game product lines during the second quarter of 2021 and the addition of the IIoT product line in the fourth quarter of 2021. The total impact that COVID-19 will have on general economic conditions is continuously evolving and the impact it may continue to have on our results of operations continues to remain uncertain and there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to experience the same growth or not be materially adversely effected. The Company's recurring losses and utilization of cash in its operations are indicators of going concern however with the Company's current liquidity position, the Company believes it has the ability to mitigate such concerns for a period of at least one year from the date this financial statements were made issued.
Consolidations
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of Inpixon, Inpixon Canada, Inpixon Germany, Inpixon UK, Nanotron, Intranav, Inpixon India, Game Your Game, and CXApp. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
•the valuation of stock-based compensation;
•the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired of Sysat, Ten Degrees, Nanotron, Game your Game, Visualix, CXApp, and Intranav as described in Note 4 , Note 5, Note 6, Note 7 , Note 8, Note 9 and Note 10 respectively, as well as the valuation of the Company’s common shares issued in the transaction;
•the allowance for credit losses;
•the valuation of loans receivable;
•the valuation of equity securities;
•the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and
•impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts and temporary investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable, net and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to un-collectability. Bad debt reserves are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in such customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Inventory
Finished goods are measured at the cost of manufactured products including direct materials and subcontracted services. Nanotron, states finished goods at the lower of cost and net realizable value on an average cost basis. As the inventory held by Nanotron is typically small dollar value items with small variances in price, an estimate or average is used to determine the balance of inventory. All other subsidiaries of the Company state inventory utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves. If the Company does not meet its sales expectations, these reserves are increased. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had recorded an inventory obsolescence of approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Investments
Short-term investments
Investments with maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year are classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets and consist of U.S. Treasury Bills. Accrued interest on U.S. Treasury bills are also classified as short term investment.
Our short-term investments are considered available for use in current operations, are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with an unrealized gains and losses included in the other income (expense) line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded unrealized losses of approximately $0.2 million for the year end December 31, 2021 which was included on the other income (expense) line in the consolidated statements of operations. No unrealized gain or loss was recorded on available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Mezzanine equity
When ordinary or preferred shares are determined to be conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the issuer, and upon such event, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders, they are classified as ‘mezzanine equity’ (temporary equity). The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future.
Investment in equity securities- fair value
Investment securities-fair value consist primarily of investments in equity securities and are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities (“ASC 321”). These securities are marked to market based on the respective publicly quoted market prices of the equity securities adjusted for liquidity, as necessary. These securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within Unrealized Loss on Equity Securities. The Unrealized loss on equity securities was $57.1 million, and zero, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, customer lists/relationships, non-compete agreements, intellectual property agreements, export licenses and trade names/trademarks. They are amortized ratably over a range of 1 to 15 years, which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date, and subsequently accounts for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Once an IPR&D project has been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly. If the IPR&D asset is abandoned, the remaining carrying value is written off. During fiscal year 2014, the Company acquired IPR&D through the acquisition of AirPatrol, in 2015 through the acquisition of the assets of LightMiner, in 2019 through the acquisitions of Locality, Jibestream and certain assets of GTX, in 2020 through the SYSTAT licensing agreement, the acquisition of certain assets of Ten Degrees, and the acquisition of Nanotron, and in 2021 through the acquisitions of Game Your Game, certain assets of Visualix, CXApp and IntraNav. The Company's IPR&D is comprised of AirPatrol, LightMiner, Locality, Jibestream, GTX, SYSTAT, Ten Degrees, Nanotron, Game Your Game, Visualix, CXApp and IntraNav, which was valued on the date of the acquisition. It will take additional financial resources to continue development of these technologies.
The Company continues to seek additional resources, through both capital raising efforts and meeting with industry experts, for further development of these technologies. Through December 31, 2021, the Company has made some progress with raising capital since these acquisitions, building their pipeline and getting industry acknowledgment. The Company has been recognized by leading industry analysts in a report on leading indoor positioning companies and was also awarded the IoT Security Excellence award by TMC and Crossfire Media. Management remains focused on growing revenue from these products and continues to pursue efforts to recognize the value of the technologies. If the Company chooses to abandon these efforts, or if the Company determines that such funding is not available, the related IPR&D will be subject to significant impairment.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. The Company has determined that the reporting unit is the entire company, due to the integration of all of the Company’s activities. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations.
The Company performed the annual impairment test as of December 31, 2021 and has recorded impairment of goodwill of $14.8 million and zero during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Other Long Term Investments
The Company invests in certain equity-method investments: When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but can exert significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies, the investment is accounted for either (i) under the equity method of accounting or (ii) at fair value by electing the fair value option available under U.S. GAAP. The Company accounted for its equity investment under the equity method of accounting, as the Company is deemed to have significant influence. The Company generally recognizes its share of the equity method investee’s earnings on a three-month lag in instances where the investee’s financial information is not sufficiently timely from the Company’s reporting period.
Software Development Costs
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
The Company develops and utilizes internal software for the processing of data provided by its customers. Costs incurred in this effort are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 350-40, "Internal Use Software" and ASC 985-20, "Software - Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed", whereby direct costs related to development and enhancement of internal use software is capitalized, and costs related to maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes its direct internal costs of labor and associated employee benefits that qualify as development or enhancement. These software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life which management has determined ranges from 1 to 5 years.
Research and Development
Research and development costs consist primarily of professional fees and compensation expense. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $14.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Loans and Notes Receivable
The Company evaluates loans and notes receivable that don’t qualify as securities pursuant to ASC 310 - "Receivables", wherein such loans would first be classified as either “held for investment” or ‘held for sale”. Loans would be classified as “held for investment”, if the Company has the intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future, or to maturity or pay-off. Loans would be classified as “held for sale”, if the Company intends to sell the loan. Loan receivables classified as “held for investment” are carried on the balance sheet at their amortized cost and are periodically evaluated for impairment. Loan receivables classified as “held for sale” are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value, with a valuation allowance being recorded (with a corresponding income statement charge) if the amortized cost exceeds the fair value. For loans carried on the balance sheet at fair value, changes to the fair value amount that relate solely to the passage of time will be recorded as interest income.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company has an 82.5% equity interest in Inpixon India and a 55.4% equity interest in Game Your Game as of December 31, 2021. The portion of the Company’s equity attributable to this third party non-controlling interest was approximately $1.7 million and $41 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign operations are calculated using the Indian Rupee, Canadian Dollar, British Pound and Euro, and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, totaling a gain/(loss) of approximately $(0.6) million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company engages in foreign currency denominated transactions with customers that operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Aggregate foreign currency net transaction losses were not material for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities, affecting stockholders’ (deficit) equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its Indoor Intelligence systems, and professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems.
Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware and software products, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when they are shipped to the customer. This is when the customer has title to the product and the risks and rewards of ownership. The delivery of products to Inpixon's customers occurs in a variety of ways, including (i) as a physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor, or (iii) via electronic delivery with respect to software licenses. The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. In such arrangements, the Company negotiates the sale price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped, bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers and is ultimately responsible for the acceptability of the product and ensuring that such product meets the standards and requirements of the customer. Accordingly, the Company is the principal in the transaction with the customer and records revenue on a gross basis. The Company receives fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
Software As A Service Revenue Recognition
With respect to sales of the Company’s maintenance, consulting and other service agreements including the Company’s digital advertising and electronic services, customers pay fixed monthly fees in exchange for the Company’s service. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the digital advertising and electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service.
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
The Company’s professional services include milestone, fixed fee and time and materials contracts.
Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts including maintenance service provided by in house personnel, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the years ended
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors.
License Revenue Recognition
The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive on-premise license for the use of its proprietary software. The contracts provide for either (i) a one year stated term with a one year renewal option, (ii) a perpetual term or (iii) a two year term for students with the option to upgrade to a perpetual license at the end of the term. The contracts may also provide for yearly on-going maintenance services for a specified price, which includes maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software (the “Maintenance Services”), depending on the contract. Licenses for on-premises software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All software provides customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
The timing of the Company's revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a good or service. Software that relies on an entity’s IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. A software arrangement that is provided through an access code or key represents the transfer of a good. Licenses for on-premises software represents a good and provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. Revenue from distinct on-premises licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer.
Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses (i.e., a distinct good or service), and revenue attributed to the distinct good or service cannot be recognized until (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. Renewal contracts are not combined with original contracts, and, as a result, the renewal right is evaluated in the same manner as all other additional rights granted after the initial contract. The revenue is not recognized until the customer can begin to use and benefit from the license, which is typically at the beginning of the license renewal period. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue resulting from renewal of licensed software at a point in time, specifically, at the beginning of the license renewal period.
The Company recognizes revenue related to Maintenance Services evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the services are performed.
Contract Balances
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company had deferred revenue of approximately $4.8 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to cash received in advance for product maintenance services and professional services provided by the Company’s technical staff. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for these maintenance services and professional services, and recognize the deferred revenue and related contract costs over the next twelve months.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company recognizes eligible sales commissions as an asset as the commissions are an incremental cost of obtaining a contract with the customer and the Company expects to recover these costs. The capitalized costs are amortized over the expected contract term including any expected renewals.
Cost to Fulfill a Contract

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
The Company incurs costs to fulfill their obligations under a contract once it has obtained, but before transferring goods or services to the customer. These costs are recorded as an asset as these costs are an incremental cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer and the Company expects to recover these costs. The capitalized costs are amortized over the expected remaining contract term.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be nominal during each of the reporting periods.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.4 million and $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for options granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as an expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.
Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period.
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and recognized over the period services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Forfeitures of unvested stock options are recorded when they occur.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation charges of approximately $10.9 million and $1.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation charges are related to employee compensation and related benefits.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Preferred Stock
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as permanent equity.
The Company also follows the guidance provided by ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging", which states that contracts that are both, (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position, are not classified as derivative instruments, and to be recorded under stockholder's equity on the balance sheet of the financial statements. Management assessed the preferred stock and determined that it did meet the scope exception under ASC 815, and would be recorded as equity, and not a derivative instrument, on the balance sheet of the Company's financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. The Company follows this authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
INPIXON AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
•Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. These financial instruments, except for short-term debt, are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Short-term debt approximates market value based on similar terms available to the Company in the market place.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35 of the FASB ASC for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-20 if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-21, the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); (b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; (c) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
Based on its assessments, the Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 209-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The new guidance was effective upon issuance of this final

accounting standards update. The Company has adopted this standard and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, "Codification Improvements" (ASU 2020-10"), which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC's regulations. The effective date of the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 for public entities. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2021. The new guidance was effective upon issuance of this final accounting standards update. The Company has adopted this standard and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.'
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature ("CCF") and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"). As a result, after adopting the ASU’s guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and is currently assessing potential impacts.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, "Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options'" ("ASU 2021-04"), which introduces a new way for companies to account for warrants either as stock compensation or derivatives. Under the new guidance, if the modification does not change the instrument's classification as equity, the company accounts for the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. In general, if the fair value of the "new" instrument is greater than the fair value of the "original" instrument, the excess is recognized based on the substance of the transaction, as if the issuer has paid cash. The effective date of the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 for all entities, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2021-08"), which addresses diversity in practice related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. Under the new guidance, the acquirer is required to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The effects of this change on the Company's financial statements have not yet been determined.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832)" ("ASU 2021-10"), which provides guidance on disclosing government assistance. Under the new guidance, the Company is required to including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity's accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on the entity's financial statements. The effective date of the standard is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(2) Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date, in which revenue is recognized over time.

Note 4 - Systat Licensing Agreement
On June 19, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license with Cranes Software International Ltd. and Systat Software, Inc. (together the “Systat Parties”) to use, market, distribute, and develop the SYSTAT and SigmaPlot software suite of products (the “License Grant”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Exclusive Software License and Distribution Agreement, deemed effective as of June 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), and amended on June 30, 2020 (as amended, the “License Agreement”). The Company pursued this transaction in order to diversify its product offerings by increasing its software solution offerings, in addition to expanding its cross-selling opportunities across a global customer base in an effort to maintain continued revenue growth and mitigate or offset the risks and uncertainties anticipated with its existing hardware products as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In accordance with ASC 805, the transaction was deemed to be the acquisition of a business and accounted for as a business combination with an acquisition date of June 30, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). In accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, on the Closing Date, we partitioned a portion of that certain promissory note (the “Sysorex Note”) issued to us by Sysorex, Inc. (“Sysorex”), into a new note in an amount equal to $3.0 million in principal plus accrued interest (the “Closing Note”) and assigned the Closing Note and all rights and obligations thereunder to Systat Software, Inc. in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Promissory Note Assignment and Assumption Agreement. An additional $3.3 million of the principal balance underlying the Sysorex Note was partitioned and assigned to Systat Software, Inc. as consideration payable for the rights granted under the license as follows: (i) $1.3 million on the three month anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) $1.0 million on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date; and (iii) $1.0 million on March 19, 2021. In addition, the cash consideration of $2.2 million was delivered on July 8, 2020.
In connection with the License Grant, the Systat Parties provided Inpixon with equipment to use at no additional cost for a minimum period of six months following the Closing Date. The Company is also entitled to any customer maintenance revenue, new license fees, or license renewal fees, received by any of the Systat Parties after June 1, 2020 in connection with the Systat Customer Contracts and/or Systat Distribution Agreements (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement) assigned to and assumed by us in connection with the License Agreement. The net amount owed to the Company for this period is included in the Other Receivable line item listed in the assets acquired below. The License Grant will remain in effect for a period of 15 years years following the Closing Date, unless terminated sooner upon mutual written consent of Systat Software, Inc. and us or upon termination by either for the other party’s specified breach.
In connection with the License Grant, the Company expanded its operations into the United Kingdom and Germany. As a result of such expansion, the Company formed Inpixon Limited, a new wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, and established Inpixon GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated under the laws of Germany.
The total recorded purchase price for the transaction was $2.2 million, which consisted of the $2.2 million cash consideration as a full valuation allowance was retained against the Sysorex Note.

Note 6 - Nanotron Acquisition
On October 6, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inpixon GmbH, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Germany, completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Nanotron, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Germany, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2020, among the Company, Nanotron and Sensera Limited (the "Seller", and the owner of all outstanding shares of Nanotron), a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia and the sole shareholder of Nanotron. As a result of the acquisition, the Company now owns 100% of Nanotron. Nanotron’s business consists of developing and manufacturing location-aware IoT systems and solutions. The Company pursued the transaction in order to further strengthen and expand its indoor intelligence platform and capabilities to include real time location services and asset tracking capabilities broadening its industry cover to include the industrial sector, expand its customer, partner and user base and deepen its geographic presence in regions outside of North America.
The total paid to Nanotron was an aggregate purchase price of $8.7 million in cash (less the Holdback Funds (as defined below) and certain other closing adjustments) for the outstanding shares of Nanotron. The price was subject to certain post-Closing adjustments based on actual working capital as of the closing as described in the Purchase Agreement. Inpixon retained $0.8 million (the “Holdback Funds”) from the purchase price to secure Nanotron’s obligations under the purchase agreement, with any unused portion of the Holdback Funds to be released to the Seller on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. As discussed above, the certain adjustments to the Purchase Price are adjustments for severance payments and calculations of Net Working Capital versus the Working Capital Target (calculation defined as “Net Working Capital Adjustment”). The adjustment for severance payments includes a $0.2 million reduction in purchase price for severance payments due after the closing date offset by a return credit of $0.1 million for severance payments owed by Sensera Limited. As for Net Working Capital Adjustment, Net Working Capital was determined to be less than the Working Capital Target by an amount of $0.03

million, resulting in a reduction in the purchase price of $0.03 million. Inpixon Germany paid the purchase price from funds received in connection with a capital contribution from Inpixon, and a portion of the purchase price was used by the Seller to satisfy outstanding loans payable by Sensera Limited to obtain the release of certain existing security interests on Nanotron’s assets.
On February 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to the early release of the Holdback Funds, in exchange for a reduction in the total amount payable to the Seller by $0.2 million. In addition, the amount payable was further reduced by $0.1 million in connection with a post closing working capital adjustment and the satisfaction of a claim related to a customer dispute. A balance of $0.5 million was paid to the Seller in full satisfaction of the Holdback Funds payable by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The Company attributes the value of stock-based compensation to operations on the straight-line single option method. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no additional income or withholding taxes have been provided for. The Company does not anticipate any impacts of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT) and as such, the Company has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT.
In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOL carryover is subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control, as defined by the regulations. The Company performed an analysis to determine the annual limitation as a result of the changes in ownership that occurred during 2020 and 2021. Based on the Company’s analysis, no ownership changes occurred during 2021. The NOL available to offset future taxable income after 2020 ownership change is approximately $31.6 million. The NOLs generated in 2017, $1.5 million, will expire beginning in December 31, 2037 if not utilized. The remaining NOLs were generated after 2017 have an indefinite life and do not expire.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Inpixon Canada, which was acquired on April 18, 2014 as part of the AirPatrol Merger Agreement, had approximately $20.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively, of Canadian NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs, if not utilized, begin expiring in the year 2023. The NOLs as of December 31, 2021 include Jibestream, which was acquired on August 15, 2019 and amalgamated with Inpixon Canada effective January 1, 2020.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Nanotron GmbH, which was acquired on October 5, 2020, had approximately $44.3 million and $53.1 million, respectively, of German NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. Although these NOLs do not expire, minimum taxation restrictions apply such that only a percentage of taxable income may be offset by NOL carryovers.
As of December 31, 2021, Intranav GmbH, which was acquired on December 8, 2021, had approximately $7.1 million German NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. Although these NOLs do not expire, minimum taxation restrictions apply such that only a percentage of taxable income may be offset by NOL carryovers.
As of December 31, 2021, Active Mind Technology LTD, which was acquired on April 9, 2021 as part of the acquisition of Game Your Game Inc., had approximately $11.6 million Irish NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs have an indefinite life and do not expire.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers, whether it is “more likely than not”, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets with respect to Inpixon, Inpixon Canada, Nanotron GmbH, Intranav GmbH and Active Mind Technology LTD and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the change in valuation allowance was $4.4 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal), Canada, India, Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, and in various state jurisdictions in the United States. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017. In general, the Canadian Revenue Authority may reassess taxes four years from the date the original notice of assessment was issued. The tax years that remain open and subject to Canadian reassessment are 2017 - 2021. The tax years that remain open and subject to India reassessment are tax years beginning March 31, 2016. The German tax authorities may reassess taxes generally four years from the end of the calendar year in which the return is filed. The tax years that remain open and subject to German reassessment are 2015 - 2021. In Ireland, assessments must generally be made within four years when returns are filed. The tax years that remain open and subject to Irish reassessment are 2017 - 2021.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things (i) increasing the limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) for 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacting a technical correction so that

The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company
Note 28 - Credit Risk, Concentrations, and Segment Reporting
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Cash is also maintained at foreign financial institutions for its Canadian subsidiary, UK subsidiary, German subsidiaries and its majority-owned India subsidiary. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.
The following table sets forth the percentages of revenue derived by the Company from those customers, which accounted for at least 10% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2021, one vendor represented approximately 33% of total gross accounts payable. Purchases from this vendor during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.4 million.

Segments
The Company’s operations consist of three reportable segments based on similar economic characteristics, the nature of products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution, and regulatory environments: Indoor Intelligence, Saves, and Shoom.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company changed the level of detail at which its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or “CODM”) regularly reviews and manages certain of its businesses, resulting in the bifurcation of its former one segment into three standalone reportable segments: Indoor Intelligence, Saves, and Shoom. The Company now manages and reports its operating results through these three reportable segments. This change allows the Company to enhance its customer focus and better align its business models, resources, and cost structure to the specific current and future growth drivers of each business, while providing increased transparency to the Company’s shareholders. The historical segment information has been recast to conform to the current segment structure.

Note 29 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in ASC 820. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the ASC 820 hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. We classified our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the following valuation hierarchy.

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value.
Short-term investments represent U.S. treasury bills with maturities greater than three months. The fair values of the U.S. treasury bills are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The market for U.S. treasury bills is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume.
Investments in equity securities are marked to market based on the respective publicly quoted market prices of the equity securities adjusted for liquidity. The fair value was determined using a pricing model with certain significant unobservable market data inputs.
The Company had no Level 3 investments for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Sysorex Note Purchase Agreement
Nadir Ali, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, was previously a member of the Board of Directors of Sysorex (resigned on May 14, 2021). In addition, Nadir Ali entered into a consulting agreement with Sysorex, pursuant to which he agreed to provide certain business services specified in the agreement for the benefit of Sysorex in exchange for shares of Sysorex's common stock.
On December 31, 2018, the Company and Sysorex entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Sysorex at a purchase price equal to the Loan Amount (as defined below), a secured promissory note (the “Secured Note”) for up to an aggregate principal amount of $3 million (the “Principal Amount”), including any amounts advanced through the date of the Secured Note (the “Prior Advances”), to be borrowed and disbursed in increments (such borrowed amount, together with the Prior Advances, collectively referred to as the “Loan Amount”), with interest to accrue at a rate of 10% percent per annum on all such Loan Amounts, beginning as of the date of disbursement with respect to any portion of such Loan Amount. In addition, Sysorex agreed to pay $20,000 to the Company to cover the Company’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Secured Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the Principal Amount. Sysorex may borrow repay and borrow under the Secured Note, as needed, for a total outstanding balance, exclusive of any unpaid accrued interest, not to exceed the Principal Amount at any one time.
All sums advanced by the Company to the Maturity Date (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement will become part of the aggregate Loan Amount underlying the Secured Note. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued unpaid interest owing under the Secured Note shall become immediately due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) 24 month anniversary of the date the Secured Note is issued (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) at such date when declared due and payable by the Company upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Secured Note), or (iii) at any such earlier date as set forth in the Secured Note. All accrued unpaid interest shall be payable in cash. On February 4, 2019, April 2, 2019, and May 22, 2019, the Secured Note was amended to increase the Principal Amount from $3 million to $5 million, $5 million to $8 million and $8 million to $10 million, respectively. On March 1, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the Secured Note to December 31, 2022. In addition, the Secured Note was amended to increase the default interest rate from 18% to 21% or the maximum rate allowable by law and to require a cash payment to the Company by Sysorex against the Loan Amount in an amount equal to no less than 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised following the completion of any financing, or series of related financings, in which Sysorex raises aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million.
In accordance with the terms of the Systat License Agreement (see Note 4), on June 30, 2020, the Company partitioned a portion of the outstanding balance of the Secured Note into a new note in an amount equal to $3 million in principal plus accrued interest (the “Closing Note”) and assigned the Closing Note and all rights and obligations thereunder to Systat in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Promissory Note Assignment and Assumption Agreement ("Assignment Agreement"). An additional $2.3 million of the principal balance underlying the Sysorex Note was partitioned into a new note and assigned to Systat as consideration payable for the rights granted under the license as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, an additional amount of approximately $2.6 million was advanced under the Secured Note and approximately $200,000 was repaid. The amount owed for principal as of December 31, 2020 and accrued interest through September 30, 2019 by Sysorex to the Company as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $7.7 million. These amounts exclude $275,000 of additional interest that the Company is contractually entitled to accrue from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 and approximately $1.1 million of additional interest from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the Sysorex Note, but did not accrue due to the uncertainty of repayment.
An additional $1 million of the principal balance under the Secured Note was assigned to Systat on March 19, 2021, as the final portion of the total consideration due in connection with the license.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 an additional 117,000 was advanced under the Secured Note and the Company was entitled to an additional 251,806 of interest in accordance with the terms of the Note, but did not accrue due to the uncertainty of repayment.

Also, under the RRA, if Sysorex determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering of any of its equity securities, for its own account or the account of others, then the Company and the Holders will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to require Sysorex to include in such registration statement all or any part of the shares of common stock held by them.

Note 33 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirement
On October 25, 2021, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock (“Common Stock”) for the prior 30 consecutive business days beginning on September 13, 2021, and ending on October 22, 2021, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 25, 2022, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. In the event that we do not regain compliance within this 180-day period, we may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide us with notice that our Common Stock will be subject to delisting.

Note 34 - Correction of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company follows ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, when accounting for accounting changes and errors in previously issued financial statements. The former is a change in accounting principle, a change in accounting estimates or a change in reporting entity. The latter is an error in recognition, measurement, presentation, or disclosure in financial statements resulting from mathematical mistakes, mistakes in the application of generally accepted accounting principles, or oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial statements were prepared.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 (the “previously issued financial statements”), new information became available to management which required a re-evaluation of the Company’s historical application of ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”) and concluded a accretion discount of the Series 7 preferred shares should have recorded been as a reduction to the Company’s Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders. The error also impacted the company’s Net Loss Per Share- Basic and Diluted calculation. Management evaluated the quantitative and qualitative impact of this accounting error and concluded it was not material to the Company’s previously issued financial statements. Notwithstanding this conclusion, management has revised the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included herein to correct this accounting error for all periods presented, as well as the accompanying footnotes affected by the accounting error, which include additional disclosure or corresponding revisions to the Consolidated Statements. The correction of this accounting error had no effect on the Company’s previously reported revenues and operating loss.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on the assessment, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Stockholder Communications
Stockholders may communicate with the members of the Board, either individually or collectively, by writing to the Board at 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303. These communications will be reviewed by the Secretary as agent for the non-employee directors in facilitating direct communication to the Board. The Secretary will treat communications containing complaints relating to accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters as reports under our Whistleblower Policy. Further, the Secretary will disregard communications that are bulk mail, solicitations to purchase products or services not directly related either to us or the non-employee directors’ roles as members of the Board, sent other than by stockholders in their capacities as such or from particular authors or regarding particular subjects that the non-employee directors may specify from time to time, and all other communications which do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described below, consistent with the instructions of the non-employee directors.
General Communications. The Secretary will summarize all stockholder communications directly relating to our business operations, the Board, our officers, our activities or other matters and opportunities closely related to us. This summary and copies of the actual stockholder communications will then be circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations and Recommendations. Stockholder proposals are reviewed by the Secretary for compliance with the requirements for such proposals set forth in our Bylaws and in Regulation 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Stockholder proposals that meet these requirements will be summarized by the Secretary. Summaries and copies of the stockholder proposals are circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
Stockholder nominations for directors are reviewed by the Secretary for compliance with the requirements for director nominations that are set forth in our Bylaws. Stockholder nominations for directors that meet these requirements are summarized by the Secretary. Summaries and copies of the nominations or recommendations are then circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
The Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. If a director candidate is recommended by a stockholder, the Governance Committee expects to evaluate such candidate in the same manner it evaluates director candidates it identifies. Stockholders desiring to make a recommendation to the Governance Committee should follow the procedures set forth above regarding stockholder nominations for directors.
Retention of Stockholder Communications. Any stockholder communications which are not circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee because they do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described above will be retained by the Secretary for at least ninety calendar days from the date on which they are received, so that these communications may be reviewed by the directors generally if such information relates to the Board as a whole, or by any individual to whom the communication was addressed, should any director elect to do so.
Distribution of Stockholder Communications. Except as otherwise required by law or upon the request of a non-employee director, the Chairman of the Governance Committee will determine when and whether a stockholder communication should be circulated among one or more members of the Board and/or Company management.
Director Qualifications and Diversity
The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates should have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or should have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in technology; research and development; finance, accounting and banking; or marketing and sales.
There is no difference in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. In evaluating nominations to the Board, the Governance Committee
also looks for depth and breadth of experience within the Company’s industry and otherwise, outside time commitments, special areas of expertise, accounting and finance knowledge, business judgment, leadership ability, experience in developing and assessing business strategies, corporate governance expertise, and for incumbent members of the Board, the past performance of the incumbent director. Each of the candidates nominated for election to our Board at our last annual meeting of stockholders was recommended by the Governance Committee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code”) designed, in part, to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with or submits to the SEC and in the Company’s other public communications, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of Code violations to an appropriate person or persons, as identified in the Code and accountability for adherence to the Code. The Code applies to all directors, executive officers and employees of the Company. The Code is periodically reviewed by the Board. In the event we determine to amend or waive certain provisions of the Code, we intend to disclose such amendments or waivers on our website at http://www.inpixon.com under the heading “Investors” within four business days following such amendment or waiver or as otherwise required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Risk Oversight
Our Board provides risk oversight for our entire company by receiving management presentations, including risk assessments, and discussing these assessments with management. The Board’s overall risk oversight, which focuses primarily on risks and exposures associated with current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation, is supplemented by the various committees. The Audit Committee discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our risk management guidelines and policies, our major financial risk exposures and the steps taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation programs and discusses with management its annual assessment of our employee compensation policies and programs. Our Nomination and Governance Committee oversees risks related to corporate governance and management and director succession planning.
Board Leadership Structure
The Chairman of the Board presides at all meetings of the Board, unless such position is vacant, in which case, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company presides. The office of Chairman of the Board has been vacant since the resignation of Abdus Salam Qureishi in September 2016.
The Company has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interests of the Company and will review this determination from time to time.

Employee Stock Incentive Plans
2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms of our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2018 Plan”). This description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2018 Plan.
The 2018 Plan is an important part of our compensation program. It promotes financial saving for the future by our employees, fosters good employee relations, and encourages employees to acquire shares of our common stock, thereby better aligning their interests with those of the other stockholders. Therefore, the Board believes it is essential to our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified employees in an extremely competitive environment both in the United States and internationally.
Amount of Shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of our common stock currently available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 43,000,000, which number is automatically increased on the first day of each quarter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of common stock equal to the least of (i) 3,000,000 shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of shares that may be determined by the Board. The amount of shares available for issuance is not adjusted in connection with a change in the outstanding shares of common stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations; provided; however, that in no event will the Company issue more than 120,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2018 Plan, including the maximum amount of shares of common stock that may be added to the 2018 Plan in accordance with the automatic quarterly increases.
Types of Awards. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock grants and other stock-based awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2018 Plan).
•Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options. The plan administrator determines the exercise price of each stock option. The exercise price of an NQSO may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant if the recipient holds 10% or less of the combined voting power of our securities, or 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant otherwise.
•Stock Grants. The plan administrator may grant or sell stock, including restricted stock, to any participant, which purchase price, if any, may not be less than the par value of shares of our common stock. The stock grant will be subject to the conditions and restrictions determined by the administrator. The recipient of a stock grant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of stock issued to the holder under the 2018 Plan.
•Stock-Based Awards. The plan administrator of the 2018 Plan may grant other stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, with terms approved by the administrator, including restrictions related to the awards. The holder of a stock-based award shall not have the rights of a stockholder except to the extent permitted in the applicable agreement.
Plan Administration.Our Board is the administrator of the 2018 Plan, except to the extent it delegates its authority to a committee, in which case the committee shall be the administrator. Our Board has delegated this authority to our compensation committee. The administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including exercise and purchase price, the number of shares subject to awards, the value of our common stock, the vesting schedule applicable to awards, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of an award and the terms of award agreements for use under the 2018 Plan.
Eligibility.The plan administrator will determine the participants in the 2018 Plan from among our employees, directors and consultants. A grant may be approved in advance with the effectiveness of the grant contingent and effective upon such person’s commencement of service within a specified period.
Termination of Service.Unless otherwise provided by the administrator or in an award agreement, upon a termination of a participant’s service, all unvested options then held by the participant will terminate and all other unvested awards will be forfeited.
Transferability.Awards under the 2018 Plan may not be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable agreement, provided that no award may be transferred for value.
Adjustment.In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or reorganization or other change in change in capital structure, the plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to awards.
Corporate Transaction.If we are acquired, the plan administrator will: (i) arrange for the surviving entity or acquiring entity (or the surviving or acquiring entity’s parent company) to assume or continue the award or to substitute a similar award for the award; (ii) cancel or arrange for cancellation of the award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the plan administrator in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; or (iii) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the plan administrator equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the holder would have received upon the exercise of the award immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. In addition in connection with such transaction, the plan administrator may accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the award (and, if applicable, the time at which the award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such transaction and may arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to an award.
Amendment and Termination.The 2018 Plan will terminate on January 4, 2028 or at an earlier date by vote of our Board; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any awards granted under the 2018 Plan prior to the date of such termination. The 2018 Plan may be amended by our Board, except that our Board may not alter the terms of the 2018 Plan if it would adversely affect a participant’s rights under an outstanding stock right without the participant’s consent.
The Board may at any time amend or terminate the 2018 Plan; provided that no amendment may be made without the approval of the stockholder if such amendment would increase either the maximum number of shares which may be granted under the 2018 Plan or any specified limit on any particular type or types of award, or change the class of employees to whom an award may be granted, or withdraw the authority to administer the 2018 Plan from a committee whose members satisfy the independence and other requirements of Section 162(m) and applicable SEC and Nasdaq requirements. Pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, certain other material revisions to the 2018 Plan may also require stockholder approval.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2018 Plan. The federal income tax consequences of grants under the 2018 Plan will depend on the type of grant. The following is a general summary of the principal United States federal income taxation consequences to participants and us under current law with respect to participation in the 2018 Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any city, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside or the rules applicable to deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code. Our ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on our generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of our tax reporting obligations.
From the grantees’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of delivery of shares of our common stock or payment of cash under the 2018 Plan. Future appreciation on shares of our common stock held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable as capital gain when the shares of our common stock are sold. The tax rate applicable to capital gain will depend upon how long the grantee holds the shares. We, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to capital gain income recognized by the grantee.
Exceptions to these general rules arise under the following circumstances:
•If shares of our common stock, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of any employment or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and our tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses, unless the grantee makes a special election to accelerate taxation under section 83(b) of the Code.
•If an employee exercises a stock option that qualifies as an ISO, no ordinary income will be recognized, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of the stock option are held until the later of (A) one year from the date of exercise and (B) two years from the date of grant. However, if the employee disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO before satisfying both holding period requirements, the employee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disposition, if less) and the exercise price, and we will be entitled to a tax deduction in that amount. The gain, if any, in excess of the amount recognized as ordinary income will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the length of time the employee held the shares before the disposition.
•A grant may be subject to a 20% tax, in addition to ordinary income tax, at the time the grant becomes vested, plus interest, if the grant constitutes deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and the requirements of section 409A of the Code are not satisfied.
Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or certain other officers in excess of $1 million in any year. Qualified performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1 million deductibility limit, and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. We intend that options and SARs granted under the 2018 Plan will be qualified performance-based compensation. Stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards granted under the 2018 Plan may be designated as qualified performance-based compensation if the Committee conditions such grants on the achievement of specific performance goals in accordance with the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code.
We have the right to require that grantees pay to us an amount necessary for us to satisfy our federal, state or local tax withholding obligations with respect to grants. We may withhold from other amounts payable to a grantee an amount necessary to satisfy these obligations. The Committee may permit a grantee to satisfy our withholding obligation with respect to grants paid in shares of our common stock by having shares withheld, at the time the grants become taxable, provided that the number of shares withheld does not exceed the individual’s minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal, state and local tax liabilities.
2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan
Except as set forth below, the material terms of our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2011 Plan”) are substantially similar to the material terms of the 2018 Plan. However, this description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2011 Plan.
The 2011 Plan is intended to encourage ownership of common stock by our employees and directors and certain of our consultants in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of us and to provide additional incentive for them to promote our success. The 2011 Plan terminated in accordance with its terms on August 31, 2021 and no new awards will be issued under the 2011 Plan.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The following table provides information as of December 31, 2021 regarding the shares of our common stock to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options or available for issuance under equity compensation plans and other compensation arrangements that were (i) adopted by our security holders and (ii) were not approved by our security holders.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.
The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party, and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Other than as described below, no transaction requiring disclosure under applicable federal securities laws occurred during fiscal year 2021 that was submitted to the Board for approval as a “related party” transaction.

For the period from January 1, 2020, through the date of this report (the “Reporting Period”), described below are certain transactions or series of transactions between us and certain related persons.
Sysorex Transactions
Sysorex Revolving Loan
On December 31, 2018, the Company and Sysorex entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Sysorex at a purchase price equal to the Loan Amount (as defined below), a secured promissory note (the “Secured Note”) for up to an aggregate principal amount of $3 million (the “Principal Amount”), including any amounts advanced through the date of the Secured Note (the “Prior Advances”), to be borrowed and disbursed in increments (such borrowed amount, together with the Prior Advances, collectively referred to as the “Loan Amount”), with interest to accrue at a rate of 10% percent per annum on all such Loan Amounts, beginning as of the date of disbursement with respect to any portion of such Loan Amount. In addition, Sysorex agreed to pay $20,000 to the Company to cover the Company’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Secured Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the Principal Amount. Sysorex may borrow repay and borrow under the Secured Note, as needed, for a total outstanding balance, exclusive of any unpaid accrued interest, not to exceed the Principal Amount at any one time.
All sums advanced by the Company to the Maturity Date (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement will become part of the aggregate Loan Amount underlying the Secured Note. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued unpaid interest owing under the Secured Note shall become immediately due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) 24 month anniversary of the date the Secured Note is issued (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) at such date when declared due and payable by the Company upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Secured Note), or (iii) at any such earlier date as set forth in the Secured Note. All accrued unpaid interest shall be payable in cash. On February 4, 2019, the Secured Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Secured Note from $3 million to $5 million. On April 2, 2019, the Secured Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Secured Note from $5 million to $8 million. On May 22, 2019, the Secured Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Secured Note from $8 million to $10 million. The largest aggregate principal amount owed by Sysorex to the Company during the Reporting Period was approximately $10 million, the amount of principal paid during the Reporting Period was approximately $1.8 million and the interest paid during the Reporting Period was $0. The amount owed by Sysorex to the Company as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $7.7 million. These amounts exclude $275,000 of additional interest that the Company is contractually entitled to accrue from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 and approximately $1.1 million of additional interest from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 in accordance with the terms of the Sysorex Note, but did not accrue due to the uncertainty of repayment. The Secured Note has been classified as “held for sale” and the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, estimated the fair value of such using Sysorex financial projections, a discounted cash flow model and a 12.3% discount rate. As a result, the Company established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021. We are required to periodically re-evaluate the carrying value of the note and the related valuation allowance based on various factors, including, but not limited to, Sysorex’s performance and collectability of the note. Sysorex’s performance against those financial projections will directly impact future assessments of the fair value of the note. On March 1, 2020, the Company amended the Secured Note to extend the maturity date of the Secured Note to December 31, 2022, to increase the default interest rate from 18% to 21% or the maximum rate allowable by law and to require a cash payment to the Company by Sysorex against the Loan Amount in an amount equal to no less than 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised following the completion of any financing, or series of related financings, in which Sysorex raised aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million.
Sysorex Receivable
On February 20, 2019, the Company, Sysorex and Atlas Technology Group, LLC (“Atlas”) entered into a settlement agreement resulting in a net award of $941,796 whereby Atlas agreed to accept an aggregate of 16,655 shares of freely-tradable common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the award (the "Atlas Settlement Agreement"). The Company and Sysorex each agreed pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated August 7, 2018, as amended, that 50% of the costs and liabilities related to the arbitration action would be shared by each party following the Spin-off. As a result, Sysorex owed the Company $648,183 as of December 31, 2020 for the settlement plus the interest accrued during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 of $31,824.
Sysorex Settlement
On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Settlement Agreement (the “SSA”) and a Rights Letter Agreement (the “RLA”), each with Sysorex, whereby Sysorex agreed to satisfy in full its outstanding debt, in the aggregate amount of $9,088,175.97 as of March 31, 2021, owed to us under that certain secured promissory note, originally dated
December 31, 2018, as amended from time to time, and in connection with the Atlas Debt Settlement. To effect the Debt Settlement, Sysorex agreed to issue to us (i) pursuant to the terms of the SSA, 12,972,189 shares of its common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, and (ii) rights to acquire 3,000,000 additional shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of the RLA. The Debt Settlement was entered into in connection with Sysorex’s closing of a reverse triangular merger with TTM Digital Assets & Technologies, Inc.
In connection with the Debt Settlement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021 (the “RRA”), with Sysorex and certain other shareholders of Sysorex (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the RRA, Sysorex was required, subject to certain limitations, to register the resale of the shares of common stock held by the Company, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), 90 days following April 14, 2021.
Also, under the RRA, if Sysorex determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering of any of its equity securities, for its own account or the account of others, then the Company will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to require Sysorex to include in such registration statement all or any part of the shares of common stock held by it.
Nadir Ali, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board, was a member of the board of directors of Sysorex until his resignation on May 14, 2021. Nadir Ali entered into a consulting agreement with Sysorex, pursuant to which he agreed to provide certain business services specified in the agreement for the benefit of Sysorex in exchange for shares of Sysorex’s common stock.
Systat License Acquisition
On June 19, 2020, we entered into an exclusive license to market, distribute, and develop the SYSTAT and SigmaPlot software suite of products (the “License Grant”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Exclusive Software License and Distribution Agreement, as amended on June 30, 2020 (as amended, the “License Agreement”), with Cranes Software International Ltd. (“Cranes”) and Systat Software, Inc. (“Systat,” and together with Cranes, the “Systat Parties”). In accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, on June 30, 2020 (the “License Closing Date”), we acquired the License Grant, effective as of June 1, 2020, and we partitioned a portion of the outstanding balance under that certain promissory note (the “Sysorex Note”) issued to us by Sysorex, Inc. (“Sysorex”), into a new note in an amount equal to $3 million in principal plus accrued interest (the “Closing Note”) and assigned the Closing Note and all rights and obligations thereunder to Systat in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Promissory Note Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Assignment Agreement"). An additional $3.3 million of the principal balance underlying the Sysorex Note was partitioned and assigned to Systat as consideration payable for the rights granted under the license, including $1.3 million on the three month anniversary of the License Closing Date, $1.0 million on the six month anniversary of the License Closing Date and an additional $1.0 million on March 19, 2021. Each assignment under the Sysorex Note was represented by a new secured promissory note and our right to any repayment under the Sysorex Note is subordinate and junior to Sysorex’s obligation to make any payment to Systat unless we have exercised our right to offset any losses against such assigned notes as permitted in the License Agreement. In addition, we paid the remaining cash consideration of $2.2 million for the License Grant on July 8, 2020.
In connection with the License Grant, the Systat Parties provided us with equipment for us to use at no additional cost for a minimum period of six months following the License Closing Date. In addition, we have the right, but not the obligation, to assume all of the Systat Parties’ rights, interests, and obligations under the Systat Customer Contracts and the Systat Distribution Agreements (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement). We are also entitled to any customer maintenance revenue, new license fees, or license renewal fees, received by any of the Systat Parties after June 1, 2020 in connection with the Systat Customer Contracts and/or Systat Distribution Agreements assigned to and assumed by us in connection with the License Agreement. The License Grant will remain in effect for a period of 15 years following the License Closing Date (the “Term”), unless terminated sooner upon mutual written consent of Systat and us or upon termination by either for the other party’s specified breach.
At any time during the first 5-year period of the Term (the "Purchase Option Exercise Period"), we may exercise our option to purchase the Software, Software Source, User Documentation, Systat Intellectual Property, Customer Information and Equipment (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement) from the Systat Parties in exchange for an assignment of our right to receive an additional $1.0 million in principal under the Sysorex Note. On February 22, 2021, we entered into a Second
Amendment to the License Agreement to allow for the exercise of the purchase option in whole or in part any time during the Purchase Option Period and to provide for cash consideration in lieu of an assignment of the Sysorex Note at our option. In addition, we exercised our option to purchase a portion of the underlying assets, including certain software, trademarks, solutions, domain names and websites from Systat in exchange for consideration in an amount equal to $900,000.
Nadir Ali, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board, is a related party in connection with the acquisition of the Licenses as a result of his service as a director of Sysorex, the issuer of the Sysorex Note that was assigned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement. In addition, Tanveer Khader and Kareem Irfan, members of our Board, are also related parties in connection with the acquisition of the Licenses as a result of their respective employment relationships with the Systat Parties.
Subscription of Units of Cardinal Venture Holdings
On September 30, 2020, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Cardinal Venture Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CVH”), pursuant to which we agreed to (i) contribute up to $1,800,000 (the “Contribution”) to CVH and (ii) purchase up to 599,999 Class A Units of CVH (the “Class A Units”) and up to 1,800,000 Class B Units of CVH (the “Class B Units,” and, together with the Class A Units, the “Units”). The aggregate purchase price of $1,800,000 for the Units is deemed to be satisfied in part through the Contribution.
CVH owns certain interests in the sponsor entity (the “Sponsor”) to a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of pursuing an initial public offering of its securities followed by effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “SPAC”). It is anticipated that the Contribution will be used by CVH to fund the Sponsor’s purchase of securities in the SPAC.
Nadir Ali, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, beneficially owns membership interests in CVH through 3AM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a founding member of CVH (“3AM”).
Concurrently with our entry into the Subscription Agreement, we entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of CVH (the “LLC Agreement”), dated as of September 30, 2020. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, in the event the Managing Member (as defined in the LLC Agreement) can no longer manage CVH’s affairs due to his death, disability or incapacity, 3AM will serve as CVH’s replacement Managing Member. Except as may be required by law, we, as a non-managing member under the LLC Agreement, do not have any voting rights and generally cannot take part in the management or control of CVH’s business and affairs.
The LLC Agreement provides that each Class A Unit and each Class B Unit represents the right of the Company to receive any distributions made by the Sponsor on account of the Class A Interests and Class B Interests, respectively, of the Sponsor.
We not required to make additional capital contributions to CVH, unless any such capital contribution is approved by all of CVH’s members. In addition, the LLC Agreement contains terms and conditions that provide for limitations on liability, restrictions on rights to distributions and certain indemnification rights for CVH’s members.

Kareem Irfan, a director of the Company, is providing consulting services to the Company in support of strategic initiatives for which he receives compensation of $10,000 a month under a consulting agreement effective through April 30, 2022 unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the agreement.
