were founded in March 1992 as Socket Communications, Inc. and reincorporated in Delaware in 1995 prior to our initial public offering
in June 1995. We have financed our operations since inception primarily from the sale of equity capital or convertible debt and a receivables-based
revolving line of credit with our bank. We began doing business as Socket Mobile, Inc. in January 2007 to better reflect our market focus
on the mobile business market and changed our legal name to Socket Mobile, Inc. in April 2008. Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol &ldquo;SCKT.&rdquo; Our principal executive office is located at 39700 Eureka Drive, Newark, CA 94560,
and our phone number is (510) 933-3000. Our Internet home page is located at http://www.socketmobile.com; however, the information on,
or that can be accessed through, our home page is not part of this Registration Statement. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to such reports are available free of charge on or through our

order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities.
Specifically, any underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition,
to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and
purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate
of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the
securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions,
in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above
independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at
any time.</FONT></P>

you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the third business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will
be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than three scheduled business days after
the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.</FONT></P>

of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the&nbsp;&ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&rsquo;s board of
directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. As permitted by Section 102 of the
DGCL, the registrant&rsquo;s certificate of incorporation and the registrant&rsquo;s bylaws provide for indemnification of and advancement
of expenses to the registrant&rsquo;s directors and officers and authorize indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors
and certain stockholders.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.25in"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 12pt">Pursuant
to Section 145(a) of the DGCL, the registrant may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the registrant&rsquo;s company or is or was serving at the
registrant&rsquo;s request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&rsquo; fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Pursuant to Section 145(b) of the DGCL, the power to indemnify
also applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including
attorneys&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit. Pursuant to Section 145(b), the registrant shall not indemnify any person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the registrant unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. The power to indemnify under Sections 145(a) and (b) of the DGCL applies (i) if such person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.</FONT></P>

174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends
or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful
actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the
books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts.</FONT></P>

(1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities
previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund

terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking
fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously

later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited
for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the

payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid
cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a
