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 condensed 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021 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, 2021. There have been no changes to these policies during the September 30, 2022 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 September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1,450 compared to $1,071 as of December 31, 2021. Our working capital was $19,329 as of September 30, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $583 from $1,477 of cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company is currently pursuing all reasonably available legal remedies to defend its strategic patents from infringement. The Company has already spent approximately $28,798 from 2016 through September 30, 2022 towards this litigation and may be required to spend more to continue its legal defense. In order to maintain liquidity, the Company has been actively engaged in preserving cash by implementing company-wide cost reduction measures and raising additional capital. The company raised additional capital in 2019 by issuing senior convertible notes, in 2020 by borrowing through the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program and issuing common stock and warrants and in 2021 by issuing short-term notes and issuing common stock and warrants. In January 2022, the Company issued $2,000 in common stock as consideration for the cancellation and termination of the short-term notes. In October 2022, the Company issued short term notes to raise $2,000. In addition, the Company has been generating additional cash as our inventory levels are brought down to historical levels. The Company also believes that the Company's core strategies of product innovation and prudent cost management will bring the company back to profitability in the future. The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that all of these measures and effective management of working capital, including collecting on the income taxes receivable balance, will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least November 14, 2023. The Company also believes that its strong portfolio of intellectual property and its solid brand equity in the market will enable it to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet its short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing. If the Company needs additional capital and is unable to secure financing, it may be required to further reduce expenses, delay product development and enhancement, or revise its strategy regarding ongoing litigation.
