Business Overview


We are a provider of solutions to network operators, mobile device carriers,
governmental units and other enterprises worldwide. We have assembled a
portfolio of communications and portable infrastructure technologies,
capabilities and products that enable the upgrading of latent 3G networks to 4G
and 4G-LTE networks and will facilitate the rapid roll out of the 5G and 6G
networks of the future. We focus on novel capabilities, including signal
modulations, antennae, software, hardware and firmware technologies that enable
increasingly efficient data transmission across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Our product solutions are complemented by a broad array of services, including
technical support, systems design and integration, and sophisticated research
and development programs. While we compete globally on the basis of our
innovative technology, the breadth of our product offerings, our high-quality
cost-effective customer solutions, and the scale of our global customer base and
distribution, our primary focus is on the North American telecom infrastructure
and service market. We believe we are in a unique position to rapidly increase
our near-term domestic sales as we are among the few U.S. based providers of
telecommunications equipment and services.

We provide the following categories of product offerings and solutions to our
customers:

? Telecom and Network Products and Solutions. We design, develop, market and sell

products for telecom network operators, mobile device carriers and other

enterprises, including the following:




                                       23




? Wireless Transport Solutions. We offer a line of high-capacity packet

microwave solutions that drive next-generation intellectual property (“IP”)

networks. Our carrier-grade point-to-point packet microwave systems transmit

broadband voice, video and data. Our solutions enable service providers,

government agencies, enterprises and other organizations to meet their

increasing bandwidth requirements rapidly and affordably. The principal

application of our product portfolio is wireless network transport, including

a range of products ideally suited to support the emergence of underlying

small cell networks. Additional solutions include leased-line replacement,

last mile fiber extension and enterprise networks.

? In-Band Full-Duplex Technologies. We have developed proprietary wireless

transmission technologies that alleviate the performance limitations of the

principal transmission technologies used by most networks today. Time Division

Duplex (“TDD”) transmission technology used by many communications systems

utilizes a single channel for transmission of data alternating between

downlink or uplink, which limits capacity/throughput. Frequency Division

Duplex (“FDD”) technologies in the marketplace today use two independent

channels for downlink and uplink but require twice the spectrum. Neither TDD

nor FDD can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single channel – a

limitation that network advancements and 5G will require for optimal

    performance.



? Edge Compute Capable Small Cell 4G LTE and 5G Access Radios. We offer both

4G/LTE and 5G New Radio (“NR”) based small cell radios that are designed to

connect to other access radios or to connect directly to mobile devices such

as mobile phones and other Internet-of-things devices. Recently, we developed

we believe the world’s first fully-virtualized 5G core network on a

microcomputer the size of a credit card, enabling, for the first time, the

ability to have the 5G network collocated on the network edge with the small

cell communicating with the devices themselves. The small cells support

edge-based application hosting and enable third-party service integration.

? Tethered Drones and Aerostats. We design, manufacture, sell and provide

logistical services for specialized tethered aerial monitoring and

communications platforms serving national defense and security customers for

use in applications such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance

(“ISR”) and tactical communications. We focus primarily on a suite of tethered

aerostats known as the Winch Aerostat Small Platform, which are principally

designed for military and security applications and provide secure and

reliable aerial monitoring for extended durations while being tethered to the

ground via a high-strength armored tether. Our recently-acquired HoverMast

line of quadrotor-tethered drones feature uninterruptible ground-based power,

fiber optic communications for cyber immunity, and the ability to operate in

GPS-denied environments while delivering dramatically-improved situational

awareness and communications capabilities to users.

We are also developing processes that we believe will significantly advance the
state-of-the-art in silicon photonic (“SiP”) devices for use in advanced data
interconnects, communication networks and computing systems. We believe our
novel approach will allow us to overcome the limitations of current SiP optical
modulators, dramatically increase computing bandwidth, and reduce drive power
while offering lower operating costs.

Our engineering and management teams have extensive experience in optical
systems and networking, digital signal processing, large-scale
application-specific integrated circuit design and verification, SiP design and
integration, system software development, hardware design, high-speed
electronics design and network planning, installation, maintenance, and
servicing. We believe this broad expertise in a wide range of advanced
technologies, methodologies, and processes enhances our innovation, design and
development capabilities, and has enabled us, and we believe will continue to
enable us, to develop and introduce future-generation communications and
computing technologies. In the course of our product development cycles, we
engage with our customers as they design their current and next-generation
network equipment in order to gauge current and future market needs.



Our Business


Through a series of acquisitions, we have expanded our service offerings and
geographic reach over the past three years. On November 27, 2019, we completed
the acquisition of ComSovereign Corp. (“ComSovereign”) in a stock-for-stock
transaction with a total purchase price of approximately $80 million (the
“ComSovereign Acquisition”). ComSovereign had been formed in January 2019 and,
prior to its acquisition by our company, had completed five acquisitions of
companies with unique products in development for, or then being marketed to,
the telecommunications market. As a result of our acquisitions, our company is
comprised of the following principal businesses, each of which was acquired to
address a different opportunity or sector of the telecom infrastructure and
service market. These acquired entities are designated as CORE and Noncore
businesses. Our CORE business is comprised of our network hardware and software
products and services solutions, and our Noncore business is comprised the Drone

Nasdaq Compliance Developments

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on August 16, 2022, and in
subsequent Form 8-K filings, we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2), the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement (“minimum bid
price”) due to the price of our common stock. Additionally, because we were late
with filing our Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q for the quarters ended March 31,
2022
, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022 (collectively the “Delinquent
Reports”), we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which
requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports
(“filing requirements”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

On November 17, 2022, a hearing was held before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the
“Panel”) regarding our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital
Market of our common stock and additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq
Listing Rules. On November 29, 2022, the Panel issued its determination,
granting our request for the continued listing of our common stock, subject to
evidencing compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement by February 2,
2023
, and evidencing compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirement by getting our
remaining Delinquent Reports filed with the SEC by February 24, 2023, and
certain other conditions.

We are working to file our Delinquent Reports with the SEC as soon as
practicable and are otherwise taking definitive steps to evidence compliance
with all other applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. We have put
forth a reverse split proposal to our stockholders to be voted on at our Annual
Stockholders meeting on January 18, 2023, as part of our efforts to gain
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. There can be no assurances,
however, that we will be able to gain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Significant Components of Our Results of Operations



Revenues


Our revenues are generated primarily from the sale of our products, which
consist primarily of telcom hardware, repairs, support & maintenance, drones,
injection moulding, tooling, consulting, warranties and other. At contract
inception, we assess the goods and services promised in the contract with
customers and identify a performance obligation for each. To determine the
performance obligation, we consider all products and services promised in the
contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by
customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance
obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the
amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring
goods and services. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of
shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.



                                       26




During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately
16% and 17%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from sales outside of
North America. While our near-term focus is on the North American telecom and
infrastructure and service market, a key element of our growth strategy is to
expand our worldwide customer base and our international operations, initially
through agreements with third-party resellers, distributors and other partners
that can market and sell our products in foreign jurisdictions. We expect that
over the short term our percentage of sales outside the United States may
increase as we build up our domestic sales and service teams. Notwithstanding
such percentage increase, we expect the sales of tethered aerostats and drones
will primarily be to the domestic market customers, primarily to the U.S.
government and its agencies, even if such systems are for integration into
foreign locations.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Our cost of goods sold is comprised primarily of the costs of manufacturing
products, procuring finished goods from our third-party manufacturers,
third-party logistics and warehousing provider costs, shipping and handling
costs and warranty costs. We presently outsource the manufacturing of our
Fastback and DragonWave products to SMC for Fastback products and Benchmark for
DragonWave products. Cost of goods sold also includes costs associated with
supply operations, including personnel-related costs, provision for excess and
obsolete inventory, third-party license costs and third-party costs related to
the services we provide. Additionally, cost of goods sold does not include any
depreciation and amortization expenses as we separate depreciation and
amortization expense into its own category within operating expenses.

Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors,
including changes in our supply chain and evolving product mix. The margin
profile of our current products and future products will vary depending on
operating performance, features, materials, manufacturer, and supply chain.
Gross margin will vary as a function of changes in pricing due to competitive
pressure, our third-party manufacturing, our production costs, costs of shipping
and logistics, provision for excess and obsolete inventory and other factors. We
expect our gross margins will fluctuate from period to period depending on the
interplay of these various factors.



Operating Expenses


We classify our operating expense as research and development, sales, and
marketing, and general and administrative. Personnel costs are the primary
component of each of these operating expense categories, which consist of
cash-based personnel costs, such as salaries, sales commissions, benefits, and
bonuses. Additionally, we separate depreciation and amortization expense into
its own category.




Research and Development



In addition to personnel-related costs, research and development expense
consists of costs associated with the design, development, and certification of
our products. We generally recognize research and development expense as
incurred. Development costs incurred prior to establishment of technological
feasibility are expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development
costs to continue to increase as we develop new products and modify existing
products to meet the changes within the telecom landscape.



Sales and Marketing


In addition to personnel costs for sales, marketing, service and product
management personnel, sales and marketing expense consists of the expenses
associated with our training programs, trade shows, marketing programs,
promotional materials, demonstration equipment, national and local regulatory
approvals of our products, travel, entertainment and recruiting. We expect sales
and marketing expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase
the size of our sales, marketing, service, and product management organization
in support of our investment in our growth opportunities, whether through the
development and rollout of new or modified products or through acquisitions.



General and Administrative


In addition to personnel costs, general and administrative expense consists of
professional fees, such as legal, audit, accounting, information technology and
consulting fees; share-based compensation; and facilities and other supporting
overhead costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation related to fixed
assets such as test equipment, research and development equipment, computer
hardware, production fixtures and leasehold improvements, as well as
amortization related to definite-lived intangibles.



                                       27





Interest Expense


Interest expense is comprised of interest expense associated with our secured
notes payable, notes payable and senior convertible debentures. The amortization
of debt discounts is also recorded as part of interest expense.



Share-Based Compensation


Share-based compensation consists of expense related to the issuance of equity
instruments, which can be in many forms, such as incentive or nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, stock units
and other forms of awards including performance-based awards under our long-term
incentive plans or outside of such plans. The expense related to any share-based
compensation grant is allocated to specific groupings in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations in the same manner as the grantee’s normal
compensation expense and will vary depending upon the number of underlying
shares of common stock, the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant
and the vesting period.

Restatement for Correction of an Error

The Company has determined that it was necessary to amend the March 31, 2022
Form 10-Q in order to restate the financial statements to correct the previously
misstated amortization of intangible assets. See Note 18 – Restatement of
Financial Statements included in the financial statements herein for additional
details.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021



Total Revenues


For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total revenues were $3.2 million
compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase
of $1.1 million, or 55%. These sales derived primarily from mobile network
backhaul products, outside sales from Sovereign Plastics, and the sale of our
aerostat products and accessories. The increase was driven primarily from
revenue from companies acquired in 2021 and from large orders fulfilled by
Sovereign Plastics.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cost of goods sold were $2.2 million
compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase
of $1.1 million, or 104%. Cost of goods sold primarily consisted of the payment
to our contract manufacturer for the production of our mobile network backhaul
products and the materials, parts and labor associated with our other
manufacturing activities.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.0 million compared
to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, with a gross profit
margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022, of 32% compared to 49% for the
three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease in gross profit margin was
driven primarily by the sale of older DragonWave products that were lower margin
during the current quarter as compared to the corresponding period in the fiscal
year 2021 and an increase in purchase price variances due to increased prices
from manufacturing and logistical suppliers, resulting from current macro supply
chain constraints.

Research and Development Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, research and development expense was
$1.2 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,
an increase of $0.7 million. Research and development expense consisted
primarily of contract labor and payroll related costs. This increase was
primarily for development of DragonWave radio software features, VNC 5G ORAN
system product development, VEO photonics chip development. The expenses are
mostly contractor labor and our own engineering teams.



Sales and Marketing Expense


For the three months ended March 31, 2022, sales and marketing expense was
$66,000 compared to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an
increase of $18,000, which primarily consisted of increases in payroll and
related costs performed primarily by our newly acquired subsidiary.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, general and administrative expense
was $6.2 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2021
. This $0.9 million decrease primarily consisted of decreases in
professional expenses of $2.2 million, which were primarily driven by decreases
in certain public relations services, accounting services, and other
professional services. This was partially offset by increased payroll and
related costs of $1.2 million due to additional employees and salary increases,
plus rent increased by $0.2 million, resulting from the sale and leaseback of
our Tucson (Arizona) office building (the “Tucson Building“; see below) on or
about January 31, 2022.

Depreciation and Amortization (As Restated)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, depreciation and amortization was
$0.8 million compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,
a decrease of $2.8 million, primarily due to the sale of our Tucson Building
(see below) and the 2021 year-end impairment of intangible assets.



Gain on the Sale of Assets


For the three months ended March 31, 2022, gain on the sale of assets was $8.4
million
compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an
increase of $8.3 million. On January 31, 2022, we sold our Tucson Building for
$15.8 million of cash. The Tucson Building had a carrying value of $6.7 million.
The Company recognized an $8.4 million gain on sale of assets, which is net of
$0.7 million of related transaction costs.



Other Income and Expenses


For the three months ended March 31, 2022, other expense was $1.0 million
compared to other expense of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2021
, a decrease of $4.9 million. This change primarily consisted of a decrease
in the loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.1 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2021, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in interest
expense.

Net income (loss) (As Restated)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net income of $0.1 million
compared to a net loss of $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2021
, related to the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash
to meet its cash requirements. As of March 31, 2022, we had $0.5 million in cash
compared to $1.9 million on December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.4 million
resulting primarily from $8.7 million of cash used in operating activities and
$7.6 million of debt repayments, partially offset by $15.1 million of cash
proceeds from the sale of the Tucson Building on or about January 31, 2022. See
Note 10 – Property and Equipment, Net in the notes to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for more information related to the sale of the Tucson
Building
.

As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of $8.5 million compared to
negative working capital of $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021. This increase
in working capital of $12.0 million was primarily related to the $15.1 million
of proceeds from the sale of the Tucson Building and the reclassification of
$5.5 million of debt from a current liability to a long term liability due to
the subsequent conversion of such debt into equity, partially offset by the $7.6
million
of repayments to debt holders.

As of March 31, 2022, we had undiscounted obligations relating to the payment of
indebtedness as follows:

? $8.6 million related to indebtedness that is due during the remainder of 2022;

? $1.0 million related to indebtedness that is due during 2023;

? $0.1 million related to indebtedness that is due in the first quarter of 2023;

   and



? $11.3 million related to indebtedness that is due in 2026 or thereafter.

Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the following developments should be noted:

? of the $9.6 million of indebtedness that is due during 2023/2022, $8.45 million

was converted into common stock and $0.6 million was canceled;

? of the $11.3 million of indebtedness that is due in 2026 or thereafter, $11.2

million entered technical default and the holders sent us a letter indicating

that they were reserving their rights, but to date that haven’t declared a

   default;



? additional promissory notes with a face value of $1.3 million were issued.

Our future capital requirements for our operations will depend on many factors,
including the profitability of our businesses, and the costs of our operations.
We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available. Any
additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities
may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a
decrease in the market price of our common stock. Debt financing, if available,
may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs.



Going Concern


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. For the
three months ended March 31, 2022, we used cash flows in operating activities of
$8.7 million, we had an accumulated deficit of $219.0 million and we had working
capital of $8.5 million.

Our fiscal operating results, accumulated deficit and working capital, among
other factors, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Based on our current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described
herein, we presently only have enough cash on hand to operate on a
month-to-month basis, without raising additional capital or selling assets.
Because of our limited cash availability, our operations have been scaled back
to the extent possible. We continue to explore opportunities with third parties
and related parties to provide additional capital; however, we have not entered
into any agreement to provide the necessary capital. In the near term, there
will be limited opportunities to raise capital of significance due to our Nasdaq
compliance issues, as discussed in Nasdaq Compliance Developments herein.

We will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards
increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet our future liquidity
requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
any capital-raising efforts that we may undertake. If we are not able to obtain
additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to delay vendor payments
and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we
could be forced to discontinue operations, liquidate assets and/or seek
reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.

was $7.8 million. Investing activities primarily consisted of net cash used to
(a) fund business acquisitions of $4.2 million, (b) acquire property and

notes of $0.8 million and issuance costs of $0.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.



                                       31




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting
policies as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

However, it should be noted that business developments commencing in the second
quarter of 2022 (see Note 19 – Subsequent Events – Business Developments) in the
footnotes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein, included
discussions of exiting or idling of certain businesses and/or assets, in periods
subsequent to March 31, 2022. During the current quarter, the Company determined
that it was not more likely than not that any reporting unit’s fair value was
below that reporting unit’s carrying amount. Accordingly, it wasn’t necessary to
perform interim impairment testing as of March 31, 2022. However, given the
constraints of capital resources that manifested themselves subsequent to March
31, 2022
, the resulting weakness in the business and challenges with the
economy, we may need to record future impairments of our long-lived assets and
or goodwill, based on our assessment in future periods.

Consequently, for the purpose of emphasis, we are again disclosing below our
accounting policy related to long-lived assets and goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of
ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets. This accounting standard requires that long-lived assets be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC
350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the
purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles
with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis
if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has
decreased below its carrying value.
