UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited - Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

  

1. Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business Description:

 

ClearOne, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “ClearOne” or the “Company”), is a global market leader enabling conferencing, collaboration, and AV streaming solutions for voice and visual communications. The performance and simplicity of our advanced, comprehensive solutions offer unprecedented levels of functionality, reliability and scalability.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The fiscal year for ClearOne is the twelve months ending on December 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ClearOne and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

 

These accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are not audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that are usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been either condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC. 

 

Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” on the topic of income taxes. The standard requires additional disclosure for income taxes. These requirements include: (i) requiring a public entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; (ii) disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); (iii) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; (iv) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received); (v) annual disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (vi) annual disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal 2025 and is in the process of evaluating the new requirements. As a result, the Company has not yet determined the impact this new ASU will have on its disclosures.

The Company has determined that recently issued accounting standards, other than the above discussed, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity:

 

As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,450 compared to $17,835 as of December 31, 2023. Our working capital was $21,707 as of June 30, 2024. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $55,642 compared to $52,920 of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash is mainly due to payment of dividends $14,490 in April 2024 and $28,979 in May 2023.These conditions raise substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern, but substantial doubt is alleviated because the Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that the current cash position and effective management of working capital, will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least August 14, 2025. The Company also believes that its strong portfolio of intellectual property and its solid brand equity in the market will enable it to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet its short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all. If the Company needs additional capital and is unable to secure financing, it may be required to further reduce expenses, or delay product development and enhancement.

3. Loss Per Share

 

Loss per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, when appropriate, dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants and the convertible portion of senior convertible notes are considered to be potential common stock. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. 

 

Basic loss per common share is the amount of net loss for the period available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is the amount of loss for the period available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share of potential common stock outstanding during the period, unless inclusion of potential common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect. 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share:

 

		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
		2024				2023				2024				2023
Numerator:

Debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2024 were not deemed impaired at acquisition and subsequent declines in fair value are not deemed attributed to declines in credit quality.

9. Share-based Compensation

The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of the share-based payments on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the risk-free interest rate of the awards, the expected life of the awards, the expected volatility over the term of the awards, and the expected dividends of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of share-based payments granted under the guidelines of ASC Topic 718. 

 

A summary of the stock option activity under the Company’s plans for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is as follows:

		Number of shares				Weighted average exercise price
Options outstanding at beginning of year			607,810			$	5.03

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

10. Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against U.S Federal and State deferred tax assets, which results in no income tax benefit for losses in these jurisdictions. The full domestic valuation allowance was recorded as management concluded that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are not realizable due to the Company's recent pre-tax losses and other sources of negative evidence. Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 mostly represents income tax expense (benefit) recorded for jurisdictions outside the United States.

The Company had approximately $1,079 of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the underlying tax positions, it is not possible to forecast the payment of this liability for any particular year, therefore, it is reflected in other long-term liabilities.

 

11. Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels: 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. 

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. This category generally includes U.S. Government and agency securities; municipal securities; mutual funds and securities sold and not yet settled. 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs. 

 

The Company’s financial instruments are valued using observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the financial instruments re-measured by the Company as of June 30, 2024:

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

ClearOne is a global Company that designs, develops and sells conferencing, collaboration, and AV networking solutions for voice and visual communications. The performance and simplicity of our advanced, comprehensive solutions offer a high level of functionality, reliability and scalability. We derive a major portion of our revenue from audio conferencing products and microphones by promoting our products in the professional audio-visual channel. We have extended our total addressable market from the installed audio conferencing market to adjacent complementary markets – microphones, video collaboration and AV networking. We have achieved this through strategic technological acquisitions as well as by internal product development.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On March 11, 2024, we announced a one-time special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of ClearOne common stock, paid on April 10, 2024 to shareholders of record on April 2, 2024.

On January 23, 2024 we launched the DIALOG® 20 USB wireless microphone system at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2024, a major global audiovisual expo. ClearOne’s booth at ISE 2024 recorded a 319% increase in unique visitors compared to the number of unique visitors the Company’s booth recorded in 2023. The DIALOG® UVHF Wireless Microphone System also received AV Technology Magazine’s Best in Show award at ISE 2024, having previously garnered other notable industry awards in 2023.

Overall revenue decreased by 58% in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a significant decrease in revenues from the audio conferencing category. The revenue decline was also caused by significantly reduced demand for our products in many regions including USA, Europe and China when compared to 2023-Q2 revenues. We believe this revenue decline was primarily due to the cumulative impact of past production shortages. We believe that lack of product availability has caused some of our channel partners to purchase and install competing brands. Historically, we have seen a lag of several months between the time that our professional conferencing products are specified for installation and the date when those products are installed. Since our product availability was constrained through a significant part of Q4 2023, we believe our revenue was impacted negatively by these market dynamics through much of Q2 2024. We have also faced sales headwinds from our products’ lack of Microsoft Teams certification, despite their longtime functional compatibility with this platform. Our work through the first half of 2024 has focused on mitigating these impacts through maintaining consistent dialogues, product demonstrations, and feedback cycles with end users and channel partners, along with improving our visibility at key industry events. In addition, we saw a reduction in sales in the Middle East region, where we had previously experienced consistent sales growth, as we transitioned to a new distributor for the Middle East region. We believe our revenue performance in 2024-Q2 also was to a small extent impacted negatively due to increased costs associated with electronic raw materials that have affected the global manufacturing of high tech products. We expect these increased costs in various degrees to continue through 2024 and 2025.

Our gross profit margin decreased to (0.9)% during the second quarter of 2024 from 33.7% during the second quarter of 2023. Our gross profit margin decreased to 19.1% during the first six months of 2024 compared to 32.7% during the first six months of 2023. This is due to scrapping of inventory items and increase in the reserve on Unite Camera from 35% to 50%.

Net loss increased from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net loss was mainly due to (a) decrease in revenues and increase in operating expenses related to inventory.Net loss increased from $1.9 million for the first half of 2023 to $4.7 million for the first half of 2024. The increase was mainly due to (a) decrease in revenue by $3.7 million, (b) significant decrease in Gross margin from 32.7% to 19.1% and (c) decrease in interest income.

We believe, although there can be no assurance, that we can return to generating operating profits through our strategic initiatives namely product innovation and cost reduction.

Industry conditions

We operate in a very dynamic and highly competitive industry which is dominated on the one hand by a few players with respect to certain products like traditional video conferencing appliances while on the other hand influenced heavily by a fragmented reseller market consisting of numerous regional and local players. The industry is also characterized by venture capitalist-funded start-ups and private companies willing to fund cumulative cash losses in order to gain market share and achieve certain non-financial goals. It has become increasingly important to have higher interoperability with other products in the audio visual market as well as certifications from leading video conferencing service providers like Microsoft and Zoom.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Economic conditions, challenges and risks

 

The audio-visual products market is characterized by intense competition and rapidly evolving technology. Our competitors vary within each product category. Our installed professional audio conferencing products, which is our flagship product category, continue to be ahead of the competition despite the reduction in revenues. Our strength in this space is largely due to our fully integrated suite of products consisting of DSP wide range of professional microphone products and video collaboration products. Despite our strong leadership position in the installed professional audio conferencing market, we face challenges to revenue growth due to the lack of component availability to build our products in 2023 driving growth to competitors, pricing pressures from new competitors attracted to the commercial market due to higher margins, and the lack of certifications from Microsoft. Notably, the Microsoft Teams device certification program is closed to new meeting room devices and solutions. Although we have requested admission into this certification program on multiple occasions ClearOne has been denied admission by Microsoft so far.

Our video products and beamforming microphone arrays, especially highly advanced BMA 360 and BMA-CT are critical to our long-term growth. We face intense competition in this market from well-established market leaders as well as emerging players rich with marketing funds. We expect our strategy of making our products more interoperable with other audio-visual products, continuing to improve the quality of our high-end audio conferencing products and microphones, and offering a wide range of innovative professional cameras will generate growth in the near future. 

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenue (approximately 61% in the first six months of 2024) from operations outside North and South America and expect this trend to continue in the future. Most of our revenue from outside the U.S. is billed in U.S. dollars and is not exposed to any significant currency risk. However, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk if the U.S. dollar is strong against other currencies as it will make U.S. Dollar denominated prices of our products less competitive.

 

Deferred Product Revenue

 

Deferred product revenue decreased to $23 thousand on June 30, 2024 compared to $30 thousand on December 31, 2023.

 

A detailed discussion of our results of operations follows below.

Revenue

 

Our revenue decreased to $2.3 million in 2024-Q2 compared to $5.5 million in 2023-Q2 due to a 60.5% decline in audio conferencing, a 30% decline in video products, and a 61% decrease in microphones. Our traditional ceiling mics, personal audio conferencing products, and video cameras suffered revenue declines due to lack of demand. When comparing 2024-Q2 to 2023-Q2, all sales regions suffered revenue loss. Revenues from Americas declined by 64%,from Europe and Africa by 41%, and from Asia Pacific (including Middle East, India and Australia) by 50%.

Our revenues decreased to $5.9 million in 2024-H1 compared to $9.7 million 2023-H1 due to a 47% decline in audio conferencing, a 24% decline in video products, and a  33% decrease in microphones. Our traditional ceiling mics, personal audio conferencing products. and video cameras suffered revenue declines due to lack of demand. When comparing  2024-H1 to 2023-H1, all sales region suffered revenue loss. Revenues from Americas declined by 54%, from Europe and Africa by 42% ,and from Asia Pacific (including Middle east , India and Australia) by 16%.

Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Profit  

 

Cost of goods sold includes expenses associated with finished goods purchased from outsourced manufacturers, the repackaging of our products, our manufacturing and operations organization, property and equipment depreciation, warranty expense, freight expense, royalty payments, and the allocation of overhead expenses.

Our gross profit margin decreased from 33.7% during 2023-Q2 to( 0.9)% during 2024-Q2. and 

Our gross profit margin decreased from 32.7% during 2023-H1 to 19.1% during 2024-H1. 

The declines in the periods represented were due to increased inventory scrap costs, increasing the inventory reserve to write down the value for certain items, and an increase in purchase price variance from increasing vendor costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our profitability in the near-term continues to depend significantly on our revenues from professional installed audio-conferencing products. We hold long-term inventory and if we are unable to sell our long-term inventory, our profitability might be affected by inventory write-offs and price mark-downs. Our long-term inventory includes approximately $0.1 million of Converge Pro and Beamforming microphone array products, $0.4 million of cameras, and $0.9 million of raw materials that will be used primarily for manufacturing professional audio conferencing products and BMA microphones. Any business changes that are adverse to these product lines could potentially impact our ability to sell our long-term inventory in addition to our current inventory.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses, research and product development (“R&D”) expenses and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Total operating expenses in 2024-Q2 was $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million in 2023-Q2. Total operating expenses were $6.1 million for 2024-H1 compared to $6.7 million for 2023-H1. The following contains a more detailed discussion of expenses related to sales and marketing, research and product development, general and administrative, and other items. 

Sales and Marketing - S&M expenses include selling, customer service, and marketing expenses such as employee-related costs, allocations of overhead expenses, trade shows, and other advertising and selling expenses.

 

S&M expenses decreased in 2024-Q2 to $1.2 million from $1.3 million in 2023-Q2. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in salaries, commissions, and consulting expenses from sales department restructuring .

S&M expenses remained consistent at $2.5 million when comparing 2024-H1 to 2023-H1.

Research and Product Development - R&D expenses include research and development, product line management, engineering services, and test and application expenses, including employee-related costs, outside services, expensed materials, depreciation, and an allocation of overhead expenses.

 

R&D expenses were consistent at $0.9 million  when comparing 2024-Q2 to 2023-Q2.

R&D expenses decreased to $1.8 million in 2024-H1 compared to $1.9 million for 2023-H1

  

General and Administrative - G&A expenses include employee-related costs, professional service fees, allocations of overhead expenses, litigation costs, and corporate administrative costs, including costs related to finance and human resources teams.

 

G&A expenses decreased to $0.8 million in 2024-Q2 compared to $1.0 million in 2023-Q2. The reduction was primarily due to (a)  decrease in insurance expenses, (c) and a reduction in amortization expense.

G&A expenses decreased to $1.9 million in 2024-H1 compared to $2.3 million in 2023-H1. The reduction was primarily due to (a) a decrease in legal expenses, (b) and a decrease in insurance expenses, (c) reduction in employee related expenses.(d) and a reduction in amortization expense.

 

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0 in 2024-Q2 compared to $0.1 million in 2023-Q2. Interest expense decreased to $0.0 million in 2024-H1 compared to $0.4 million in 2023-H1 The interest expense was NIL due to repayment of all the debts in full in 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Other income (expense), net

 

Other income (expense), net includes interest income, foreign currency changes and gain or loss on disposal of assets. Other income for 2024-Q2 included $0.3 million of interest income received on marketable securities compared to $0.5 million in 2023-Q2

Provision for income taxes

 

During each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize any benefit from the losses incurred due to setting up a full valuation allowance.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.5 million compared to $17.8 million as of December 31, 2023. Our working capital was $21.7 million and $39.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 

 

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $55.6 million from $52.9 million of cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash inflow was primarily due to the difference between $55 million in receipts from legal settlements received in first half of 2023 and $0 received in fist half of 2024.

Cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.8 million compared to $7.4 million of cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to proceeds from sale of marketable securities of $5.4 million offset by purchases of marketable securities of $3.4 million in the six months ended June 30,2024 compared to $2.3 million and $9.3 million respectively compared to the six months ended June 30,2023.

Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $14.5 million compared to $31.4 million of cash being used in the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was comprised primarily of dividend distributions payments made.

The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that the current cash position and effective management of working capital, will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least August 14, 2025. The Company also believes that its strong portfolio of intellectual property and its solid brand equity in the market will enable it to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet its short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all. If the Company needs additional capital and is unable to secure financing, it may be required to further reduce expenses, or delay product development and enhancement.

As of June 30, 2024, we had open purchase orders of approximately $3.02 million mostly for the purchase of inventory.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had inventory totaling $16.4 million, of which non-current inventory accounted for $1.8 million. This compares to total inventories of $13.8 million, which includes non-current inventory of $3.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The risk factors under Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 are hereby supplemented with the following additional risk factor:

Our common stock trades at prices less than $1.00 which is the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, as such our common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On June 20, 2024, we received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing us that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The last reported closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 13, 2024 was $0.6411 per share and has been below the $1.00 closing bid price since May 6, 2024. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days from June 20, 2024, or until December 17, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before December 17, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days (which number days may be extended by Nasdaq), Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If compliance is not achieved within the 180-day period, Nasdaq would provide written notification to us that our common stock is subject to delisting. In the event that we fail to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards by the expiration of the applicable cure period or any extension period, Nasdaq will commence suspension and delisting procedures with respect to our common stock, which could impair the value of your investment.

 

If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq Capital Market in the future, such securities may be traded on the over-the-counter markets. Such alternative markets, however, are generally considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, Nasdaq. Accordingly, delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could have a significant negative effect on the trading volume, liquidity and market price of our common stock. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all and could reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock.

Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	1. Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies   Business Description:   ClearOne, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “ClearOne” or the “Company”), is a global market leader enabling conferencing, collaboration, and AV streaming solutions for voice and visual communications. The performance and simplicity of our advanced, comprehensive solutions offer unprecedented levels of functionality, reliability and scalability.   Basis of Presentation:   The fiscal year for ClearOne is the twelve months ending on December 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ClearOne and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.    These accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are not audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that are usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been either condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.    Significant Accounting Policies:   The significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company. Recent accounting pronouncements: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” on the topic of income taxes. The standard requires additional disclosure for income taxes. These requirements include: (i) requiring a public entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; (ii) disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); (iii) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; (iv) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received); (v) annual disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (vi) annual disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal 2025 and is in the process of evaluating the new requirements. As a result, the Company has not yet determined the impact this new ASU will have on its disclosures. The Company has determined that recently issued accounting standards, other than the above discussed, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.    Liquidity:   As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,450 compared to $17,835 as of December 31, 2023. Our working capital was $21,707 as of June 30, 2024. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $55,642 compared to $52,920 of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash is mainly due to payment of dividends $14,490 in April 2024 and $28,979 in May 2023.These conditions raise substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern, but substantial doubt is alleviated because the Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that the current cash position and effective management of working capital, will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least August 14, 2025. The Company also believes that its strong portfolio of intellectual property and its solid brand equity in the market will enable it to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet its short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all. If the Company needs additional capital and is unable to secure financing, it may be required to further reduce expenses, or delay product development and enhancement.

Loss Per Share
Loss Per Share	3. Loss Per Share   Loss per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, when appropriate, dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants and the convertible portion of senior convertible notes are considered to be potential common stock. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.    Basic loss per common share is the amount of net loss for the period available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is the amount of loss for the period available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share of potential common stock outstanding during the period, unless inclusion of potential common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share:     Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,   2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net loss $ (2,820 ) $ (1,019 ) $ (4,718 ) $ (1,851 ) Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 23,969,148 23,955,802 23,969,148 23,955,785 Dilutive common stock equivalents using treasury stock method — — — — Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 23,969,148 23,955,802 23,969,148 23,955,785   Basic loss per common share $ (0.12 ) $ (0.04 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.08 ) Diluted loss per common share $ (0.12 ) $ (0.04 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.08 )   Weighted average options, warrants and convertible portion of senior convertible notes outstanding 6,420,553 6,287,019 6,420,553 6,327,495 Anti-dilutive options, warrants and convertible portion of senior convertible notes not included in the computation 6,420,553 6,287,019 6,420,553 6,327,495

Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation	9. Share-based Compensation The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of the share-based payments on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the risk-free interest rate of the awards, the expected life of the awards, the expected volatility over the term of the awards, and the expected dividends of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of share-based payments granted under the guidelines of ASC Topic 718.    A summary of the stock option activity under the Company’s plans for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is as follows:     Number of shares     Weighted average exercise price   Options outstanding at beginning of year     607,810     $ 5.03   Granted     —       —   Less:                 Exercised     —       —   Forfeited prior to vesting     (20,000 )     —   Canceled or expired     (107,500 )     —   Options outstanding at June 30, 2024     480,310       4.52   Options exercisable at end of June 30, 2024     —     $ —     As of June 30, 2024, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, net of forfeitures, was approximately $97, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.21 years.         Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,     2024     2023   2024 2023 Cost of goods sold   $ 2     $ 1   $ 3 $ 3 Sales and marketing     2       2   4 4 Research and product development     12       11   25 20 General and administrative     6       10   16 20     $ 22     $ 24   $ 48 $ 47

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes   The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against U.S Federal and State deferred tax assets, which results in no income tax benefit for losses in these jurisdictions. The full domestic valuation allowance was recorded as management concluded that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are not realizable due to the Company's recent pre-tax losses and other sources of negative evidence. Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 mostly represents income tax expense (benefit) recorded for jurisdictions outside the United States. The Company had approximately $1,079 of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the underlying tax positions, it is not possible to forecast the payment of this liability for any particular year, therefore, it is reflected in other long-term liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	11. Fair Value Measurements   The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:    Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.    Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. This category generally includes U.S. Government and agency securities; municipal securities; mutual funds and securities sold and not yet settled.    Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.    The Company’s financial instruments are valued using observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the financial instruments re-measured by the Company as of June 30, 2024:       Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total   June 30, 2024                                 Mutual funds   $ 1,550     $ —     $ —     $ 1,550   US Treasury securities   —     505     —     505   Certificates of deposit   —     418     —     418   Corporate debt securities     —       —       —       —   Total $ 1,550 $ 923 $ — $ 2,473       Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total   December 31, 2023                                 Mutual funds   $ 1,505     $ —     $ —     $ 1,505   US Treasury securities   —     1,803     —     1,803   Certificates of deposit   —     103     —     103   Corporate debt securities     —       985       —       985   Total $ 1,505 $ 2,891 $ — $ 4,396

Business Description, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:	Basis of Presentation:   The fiscal year for ClearOne is the twelve months ending on December 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ClearOne and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.    These accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are not audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures that are usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been either condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.
Significant Accounting Policies:	Significant Accounting Policies:   The significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company. Recent accounting pronouncements: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” on the topic of income taxes. The standard requires additional disclosure for income taxes. These requirements include: (i) requiring a public entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; (ii) disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); (iii) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; (iv) annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received); (v) annual disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (vi) annual disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this guidance in fiscal 2025 and is in the process of evaluating the new requirements. As a result, the Company has not yet determined the impact this new ASU will have on its disclosures. The Company has determined that recently issued accounting standards, other than the above discussed, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity:	Liquidity:   As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,450 compared to $17,835 as of December 31, 2023. Our working capital was $21,707 as of June 30, 2024. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $55,642 compared to $52,920 of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash is mainly due to payment of dividends $14,490 in April 2024 and $28,979 in May 2023.These conditions raise substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern, but substantial doubt is alleviated because the Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that the current cash position and effective management of working capital, will provide the liquidity needed to meet our operating needs through at least August 14, 2025. The Company also believes that its strong portfolio of intellectual property and its solid brand equity in the market will enable it to raise additional capital if and when needed to meet its short and long-term financing needs; however, there can be no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funds through equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all. If the Company needs additional capital and is unable to secure financing, it may be required to further reduce expenses, or delay product development and enhancement.
