Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:	Basis of Presentation: The fiscal year for ClearOne is the twelve months ending on December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ClearOne and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are not audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that are usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been either condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC.
Significant Accounting Policies:	Significant Accounting Policies: The significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company. Recent accounting pronouncements: The Company has determined that recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity:	Liquidity: As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,106 compared to $4,064 as of December 31, 2019. Our working capital was $13,765 as of June 30, 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities was $113 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of cash provided of $1,511 from $(1,398) of cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020. We are currently pursuing all available legal remedies to defend our strategic patents from infringement. We have already spent approximately $17,383 from 2016 through June 30, 2020 towards this litigation and may be required to spend more to continue our legal defense. We believe the decision by the U.S. District Court in August 2019 granting our request for a preliminary injunction to prevent our competitor from manufacturing, marketing, and selling its competing ceiling microphone array in an infringing configuration is an incredibly valuable ruling for ClearOne and its business. We believe that the decision validates the strength and importance of ClearOne’s intellectual property rights, recognizes ClearOne’s innovations in this space, and stops our competitor from further infringing our Graham patent (U.S. Patent No. 9,813,806) pending a full trial. Although there can be no assurance of any outcome of a full trial, we believe this ruling will help pave the way for ClearOne’s recovery from the immense harm inflicted by our competitor's infringement of our valuable patents. We have been actively engaged in preserving cash by suspending our dividend program and allowing our share repurchase program to expire in 2018 and implementing company-wide cost reduction measures. We have also raised additional capital in 2018 by issuing common stock, in 2019 by issuing senior convertible notes and in 2020 by borrowing through Paycheck Protection Program. In addition, we expect to generate additional cash as our inventory levels are brought down to historical levels. We also believe that the measures taken by us will yield higher revenues in the future. We believe all of these and effective management of working capital will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least August 14, 2021. We also believe that our strong portfolio of intellectual property and our solid brand equity in the market will enable us to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet our short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, we will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing. If we need additional capital and are unable to secure financing, we may be required to further reduce expenses, delay product development and enhancement, or revise our strategy regarding ongoing litigation.
