Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combination | Note 2: Business Combination Arrangement As discussed in Note 1, on September 14, 2021, the Company and its newly formed subsidiaries Callco and Canco entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Peraso Tech.. On December 17, 2021, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, including approvals from the stockholders of the Company and Peraso Tech, the Arrangement was completed. The Company’s c ommon s tock, previously traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MOSY,” commenced trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “PRSO.” Securities Conversion Pursuant to the completion of the Arrangement, each Peraso Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to December 17, 2021 was converted into the right to receive 0.045239122387267 (the Exchange Ratio) newly issued shares of common stock of the Company or shares of Canco, which are exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock (Exchangeable Shares) at the election of each former Peraso Tech stockholder. In addition, all of Peraso Tech’s outstanding stock options and other securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, and any other rights to acquire Peraso Shares were exchanged for securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or other rights to acquire the Company’s common stock. Immediately following the completion of the Arrangement, the former security holders of Peraso Tech owned approximately 61%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the Company’s common stock, and the former shareholders of Peraso Tech, as a group, obtained control of the Company. While the Company was the legal acquirer of Peraso Tech, Peraso Tech was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, (i) certain warrants to purchase Peraso Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Arrangement were exercised in consideration for the issuance of Peraso Shares; (ii) each convertible debenture of Peraso Tech outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Arrangement and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon was converted into Peraso Shares at a conversion price equal to the conversion price set out in each such debenture; and (iii) each outstanding option to purchase Peraso Shares (each, a Peraso Option) was exchanged for a replacement option to purchase such number of shares of common stock that was equal to the product of (a) the number of Peraso Shares subject to the Peraso Options immediately before the closing of the Arrangement and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. Upon the closing of the Arrangement, an aggregate of 9,295,097 Exchangeable Shares and 3,558,151 shares of common stock were issued to the holders of Peraso Shares. Of such shares, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company held in escrow an aggregate of 1,312,878 Exchangeable Shares and 502,567 shares of common stock (collectively, the Escrow Shares). The Escrow Shares are escrowed pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement on a pro rata basis from the aggregate consideration received by the holders of Peraso Shares, subject to the offset by the Company for any losses in accordance with the Agreement. Such Escrow Shares shall be released, subject to any offset claim, upon the satisfaction of the earlier of: (a) any date following the first anniversary of December 17, 2021 and prior to December 17, 2024 where the volume weighted average price of the common stock for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days is at least $8.57 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits or other similar transactions; (b) the date of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of the Company; or (c) the date of any bankruptcy, insolvency, restructuring, receivership, administration, wind-up, liquidation, dissolution, or similar event involving the Company. All and any voting rights and other stockholder rights, other than with respect to dividends and distributions, with respect to the Escrow Shares are suspended until the Escrow Shares are released from escrow. In connection with the Arrangement, on December 15, 2021, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Series A Special Voting Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to designate Series A Special Voting Preferred Stock (the Special Voting Share) in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement in order to enable the holders of Exchangeable Shares to exercise their voting rights. Each Exchangeable Share is exchangeable for one share of common stock of the Company and while outstanding, the Special Voting Share enables holders of Exchangeable Shares to cast votes on matters for which holders of the common stock are entitled to vote, and by virtue of the share terms relating to the Exchangeable Shares, to receive dividends that are economically equivalent to any dividends declared with respect to the shares of common stock. The Exchangeable Shares, which can be converted into common stock at the option of the holder and have the same voting rights as common stock, are similar in substance to shares of common stock and, therefore, have been included in the determination of outstanding common stock. Outstanding Shares of Common Stock The following table details the outstanding shares of the common stock that were outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Arrangement:
|  | Number of shares |
MoSys common stock outstanding prior to business combination |  |  | 8,715,910 |
Common stock issued to Peraso Tech stockholders |  |  | 3,055,584 |
Exchangeable Shares issued to Peraso Tech stockholders |  |  | 7,982,219 |
Escrow Shares - common stock |  |  | 502,567 |
Escrow Shares - Exchangeable Shares |  |  | 1,312,878 |
Total shares issued and outstanding |  |  | 21,569,158 |
Reverse Acquisition Determination Pursuant to ASC 805, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition because: (i) the stockholders of Peraso Tech owned the majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company after the share exchange; (ii) Peraso Tech appointed a majority of the Company’s board of directors; and (iii) Peraso Tech determined the officers of the Company. Measuring the Consideration Transferred In the reverse acquisition, the accounting acquirer did not issue any consideration to the accounting acquiree, rather the accounting acquiree issued its equity shares to the owners of the accounting acquirer in exchange for the accounting acquirer’s shares. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred by the accounting acquirer for its interest in the accounting acquiree was calculated by Peraso Tech, as the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred. In accordance with ASC 805, the consideration effectively transferred between the Company (a public company as the accounting acquiree) and Peraso Tech (a private company as the accounting acquirer), was calculated as the fair value of the Company’s equity including the fair value of its common shares outstanding and its warrants, plus the portion of the share-based award fair value allocated to the pre-combination service of the accounting acquiree’s awards. The fair value of the total consideration effectively transferred was determined to be $37.6 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary provisional allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on the respective fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the accounting acquiree, which is the Company. The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. However, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practical but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements Post Reverse Acquisition The consolidated financial statements reflect all of the following:
| • | the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary (Peraso Tech, as the accounting acquirer) recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts;
| • | the assets and liabilities of the legal parent (the Company, as the accounting acquiree) recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 805;
| • | the retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary (Peraso Tech, as the accounting acquirer) before the business combination; and
| • | the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of Peraso Tech outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the Company. However, the equity structure (that is, the number and type of equity interests issued) reflects the equity structure of the Company.
All references to common stock, stock options and warrants as well as per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares of the Company issued in the reverse acquisition. Unaudited proforma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are included below as if the business combination occurred on January 1, 2020. This summary of the unaudited pro forma results of operations is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations would have been had Peraso Tech been acquired at the beginning of 2020, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods.
|  | Year ended December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Revenue |  | $ | 10,670 |  |  | $ | 15,885 |

The goodwill recognized from the reverse acquisition is attributed to the operational synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Peraso Tech. Revenue and earnings of the Company from acquisition date to December 31, 2021 that were included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 amounted to $263,000 and $74,000, respectively.
