Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
| 1. | The Company and basic presentation |
The Company
Peraso Technologies Inc. (the Company) is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in the development of mmwave technology, including 60GHz and 5G products. The Company was incorporated on June 5, 2008.
Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as COVID-19, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The extent to which COVID-19 and any other pandemic or public health crisis impacts the Companys business, affairs, operations, financial condition, liquidity, availability of credit and results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any meaningful precision, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 virus and the actions required to contain the COVID 19 virus or remedy its impact, among others. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
Basis of presentation
The condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and other information elsewhere in this filing.
The condensed financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Companys audited condensed financial statements at such date.
Going concern
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Companys ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
The Company incurred a loss from operations of $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and had a stockholders deficit of $13.8 million as of September 30, 2021.The Companys forecasted cash flows from operations are insufficient to cover its operating expenses.
Management believes that it has developed a liquidity plan, as summarized below, that, if executed successfully, should provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Companys obligations as they become due for a reasonable period of time, and allow the development of its core business.
| | Raising additional cash through the issuance of convertible notes; and |
| | Completing a reverse acquisition in accordance with the arrangement agreement entered into on September 14, 2021 with MoSys, Inc., a public company with adequate cash to fund Perasos operations post-transaction for at least the next 12 months. MoSys, Inc. provides both integrated circuits (ICs) and intellectual property (IP) solutions that enable fast, intelligent data access and decision making for a wide range of markets. |
The material uncertainties lend significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. While the Company has been successful in raising financing through debt and equity financing in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classification that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations.
| 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the warrants and stock compensation valuation assumptions and the determination of the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, all of which are managements best estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in estimates in future years could be significant. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all its related amendments (ASC 606).
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services by applying the following steps:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
| | Identify the contract with a customer; |
| | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| | Determine the transaction price; |
| | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and |
| | Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue represents the amount the Company expects to receive for products and services in its contracts with customers, net of discounts and sales taxes. The Company derives revenue from the sale of semiconductor chipsets, license fees and royalty fees, and engineering services.
Product revenue
Product revenue is primarily from the sale of semiconductor devices, which is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. The majority of the Companys contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment of products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products and is generally based upon a negotiated, formula, list or fixed price. The Company sells its products both directly to customers and through distributors generally under agreements with payment terms typically 30 days or less.
Our contracts with customers are generally for products only, and do not include other performance obligations such as services, extended warranties or other material rights.
The Company may record an estimated allowance, at the time of shipment, for future returns and other charges against revenue consistent with the terms of sale.
License fees and royalty revenue
The Company also generates revenue from licensing its technology. The Company recognizes License fee as revenue at the point of time when the control of the license has been transferred and the Company has no continuing performance obligations to the customer.
Royalty revenues are recognized based upon licensees use of the Companys licensed technology. There were no royalty revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Engineering services revenue
Engineering and development contracts with customers generally contain a single performance obligation that is delivered over time. Revenue is recognized using an output method that is consistent with the satisfaction of the performance obligation as a measure of progress.
Contract liabilitiesdeferred revenue
Receivables are recognized in the period the Company ships the product or when services are rendered to customer. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are based on contractual terms with each customer. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as net sales once control of goods and/or services have been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met and any constraints have been resolved. There were no deferred revenues as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Government subsidies
A grant or subsidy that is compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for which there are no future related costs, is recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Starting in 2020, Canadian businesses, non-profit organizations, or charities who have seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic became eligible for a rent and wage subsidy from the government. The Company began receiving this subsidy on a monthly basis in the fourth quarter of 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized payroll subsidies of $1,102,616 as a reduction in the associated wage costs in operating expenses in the Statement of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized rent subsidies of $195,995 as a reduction of rent expense in the Statement of Operations.
Stock-based compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for such grants based on ASC 718, Stock Compensation, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of the Companys stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing (Black Scholes) model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes model.
Fair value measurements
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and the characteristics specific to them. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
There are three levels within the hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 Other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Peraso Technologies Inc.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
The Company categorizes its cash as Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company categorizes its warrant liability as Level 3 fair value measurements. The warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are being marked to fair value at each reporting date until they are completely settled or meet the requirements to be accounted for as component of stockholders equity. The warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as discussed in Note 8 Warrants.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. The carrying values of lease obligations and long-term financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.
Warrant liability
The Company issues detachable warrants with its preferred shares and convertible debentures. The warrants have exercise prices that are denominated in foreign currency (CAD) that differs from the Companys functional currency (USD) and accordingly are accounted for as liability in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and hedging. These warrants are initially recorded at fair value and then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of these instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liability or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Tax credits and receivables
The Company is registered for the Canadian federal and provincial goods and services taxes. As such, the Company is obligated to collect from third parties, and is entitled to claim sales taxes paid on its expenses and capital expenditures incurred in Canada.
In addition, the Company is also a part of the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program, which uses tax incentives to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development (R&D) in Canada. As a part of the program, the Company may be entitled to a receivable in the form of tax credit or incentive. The Company records refundable tax credits as a receivable when the Company can reasonably estimate the amounts and it is more likely than not, they will be received.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 10 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible asset to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist which warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include managements estimate of the assets ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Companys business objective. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the assets fair value.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Foreign currency transactions
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S dollar. All foreign currency transactions are initially measured and recorded in an entitys functional currency using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. All monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period using the exchange rate at that date. All non-monetary assets and related expense, depreciation or amortization are not subsequently remeasured and are measured using the historical exchange rate. An average exchange rate may be used to recognize income and expense items earned or incurred evenly over a period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the statement of operations, except for the gains and losses arising from the conversion of the carrying amount of the foreign currency denominated convertible preferred shares into the functional currency that are presented as adjustment to the net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders.
Per share amount
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.
As of September 30, 2021, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 22,849,273 outstanding stock options and 11,228,407 outstanding warrants.
| 3. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06 (ASU 2020-06), DebtDebt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity. The ASU will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The ASU also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entitys own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. With regard to our financial reporting, ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, and early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating what effect(s) the adoption of ASU 2020-06 may have on our financial statements, but the Company does not believe the impact of the ASU will be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The effect will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses. This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses and applies to

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for smaller reporting companies. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this accounting guidance on our results of operations and financial position.

The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is a private Company and lacks Company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies within the semiconductor industry with characteristics similar to the Company. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
During April 2021, the Company granted warrants with an exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) to purchase 2,947,058 common shares of the Company to certain holders of convertible debentures (Note 6). The total fair value of these warrants at grant date amounted to $2.6 million. The fair values were determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected term based on the contractual term of 5 years, risk-free interest rate of 0.86% based on a comparable US Treasury Bond, expected volatility of 106.82% and expected dividend of zero.

Convertible Class A, Class B and Class C preferred shares
The holders of the convertible Class A, Class B and Class C preferred shares have the following rights and preferences:
Voting
Each convertible Class A, Class B and Class C preferred share has voting rights equal to an equivalent number of common shares and votes together as one class with the common shares.
Conversion
Each Class A, Class B and Class C preferred share is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one common share. The Class A, Class B and Class C preferred shares are automatically convertible into common shares in the event of: (i) the closing of a public offering; (ii) the affirmative vote or written consent by the majority of the preferred shareholders; and (iii) the optional conversion into common shares of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of preferred shares.
In March 2020, the company filed an Articles of Amendment, where in the ratio for the conversion of the Preferred Class C shares into common shares was changed from 1:1 to 1:1.25 (Note 10).
Redemption
The convertible Class A preferred shares can be redeemed on or after June 1, 2021, subject to agreement by two-thirds of the holders of the Companys Class A preferred shares. The price would be the original issue price of CDN$1 per share plus all accrued dividends.
The Class B preferred shares can be redeemed on or after June 1, 2021 subject to agreement by a majority of the holders of the Companys Class B preferred shares. The price would be the original issue price of CDN$1 ($0.79 USD) per share plus all accrued dividends.

Dividends
Class A and Class B preferred shares will accrue an annual compounding dividend of 8% per year. The dividend will be paid at the earlier of a liquidation event (as defined in the articles of incorporation of the Company) or the redemption of the preferred shares. Other than those two circumstances no accrued dividends can be declared or become payable. Upon conversion all rights of holders of preferred shares cease including rights to dividends.
The total dividend accrued since the issuance of Class A and Class B Preferred shares of $22,732,543 was recognized as additional paid in capital upon conversion of Preferred shares into common shares on March 13, 2020.
Liquidation

Class C preferred shareholders would receive CDN$1.4790 ($1.16 USD) and no accrued dividends. Thereafter, any assets remaining following distribution to the holders of the convertible Class A, Class B and Class C preferred shares will be distributed ratably among the holders of the convertible Class A, Class B and Class C preferred shares and common shares, provided that the maximum amount receivable for each convertible Class A and Class B preferred share is CDN$5 ($3.93 USD) and CDN$4.44 ($3.49 USD) for Class C preferred shares.
On March 13, 2020, all of the outstanding preferred shares were converted into common shares. The carrying amount of the preferred shares were reclassified into common stock and the accumulated dividends were reclassified into additional paid-in capital.

| 11. | Stock-based compensation |
In 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Share Option Plan (the plan). Under the plan, officers, employees, directors, consultants, and special advisers may be granted stock options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock; 12,896,147 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Stock options generally vest over terms of four years and expire in ten years.
On September 16, 2020, Board of Directors approved the increase in number of options shares (as defined in Stock option plan) from 10% of outstanding issue to the greater of 23,169,644 or 20% of outstanding issue. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had granted 97,491 more options shares than were authorized for grant, however in the first quarter of 2021 this was corrected due to additional forfeitures. As of September 30, 2021, options shares available to grant totaled 395,370.
On September 17, 2020, Board of Directors approved the cancellation of stock options totaling 2.6 million with exercise price of CDN$0.60 ($0.47 USD) and original vesting term of 4 years and replaced such awards with option grants that have exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) options and vesting period of one year. The replacement of the option grants was accounted for as modification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The Company determined that the incremental fair value of the replacement awards amounted to approximately $530,000 using Black-Scholes option pricing model. At replacement date, the total compensation cost for the replacement awards was determined to be $952,000 and is amortized over the one year vesting term.
Additionally, the Board also approved the grant of stock options to employees to purchase a total of 18.7 million shares of the Companys common stock. The options have an exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) per share, expire in ten years, and have a vesting period of 4 years. The total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $15.8 million.
On May 27, 2021, Board of Directors approved the grant of stock options to employees to purchase a total of 812,000 shares of the Companys stock. The options have an exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) per share, expire in ten years, and have a vesting period of 4 years. The total fair value of these options at grant date was $739,284.
Additionally, the Board also approved the grant of 6,729,875 options effective upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures (if any) to key employees. The options have an exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) and are subject to active employment on the Conversion Date. The Board declared null and void the prior authorization on September 17, 2020 of anti-dilution options to key employees.
The fair value of each stock option is estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded set of peer companies within the semiconductor industry with characteristics similar to the Company. The expected term of the Companys stock options has been determined utilizing the simplified method for awards that qualify as plain-vanilla options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: average risk-free interest rate of 0.51% (2020 0.46%); expected average volatility of 109.94% (2020 104.37%); expected stock option life of 6.25 years (2020 6.25 years); exercise price of CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD) (2020 CDN$0.15 ($0.12 USD)); and an underlying stock price of CDN$1.18 ($0.97 USD) (2020 CDN$1.18 ($0.89 USD)).
