described in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Socket Mobile, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), filed on November 19, 2010, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the &quot;Purchase Agreement&rdquo;) with an accredited investor (the &quot;Investor&quot;)
for the private placement (the &quot;Transaction&quot;) of a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the &ldquo;Note&rdquo;) having a
principal amount of $1,000,000 and a Warrant (the &ldquo;Warrant&rdquo;) to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common
stock. The Note matures on May 19, 2012 if not sooner converted into common stock. The Warrant is exercisable through May 20,
2016 at a price of $2.44 per share. In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into (i) a registration rights agreement
with the Investor (the &quot;Registration Rights Agreement&quot;) and (ii) a security agreement in favor of the collateral agent
for the Investor (the &quot;Security Agreement&quot;). Copies of these documents including the forms of the Note and the Warrant
were filed as exhibits to the Form 8-K. Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions
associated with these transactions.</FONT></P>

August 4, 2011, the Company reported in a press release attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 that it had called the
Note with a Redemption Date, if not sooner converted, of September 6, 2011. The call notice date was August 3, 2011. The Note
balance at the call notice date was $700,394. The Note holder may convert the Note into common stock at the conversion price of
$1.50 per share. Any portion of the Note not converted by the Redemption Date will be redeemed by the Company at 125 percent of
the Note balance. The Note holder may reduce the call amount to 4.99% of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding common shares. If such
election is made, the Note balance subject to conversion or redemption would be reduced to $322,895. The Company may initiate
additional calls at 30 day intervals.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">The
Note holder may reduce the call amount to 4.99% of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding common shares. If such election is made, the

Notes are secured in first position by all of the Company&rsquo;s assets. These security arrangements expire upon full conversion
of the Notes. The Company is calling the Notes to free up the first security position, a necessary step for the Company to establish
a Bank revolving credit facility.</FONT></P>
