SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, including particularly statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products and services, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of current and anticipated products and services. These statements involve uncertainties, such as known and unknown risks, and are dependent on other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements we express or imply. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q do not reflect the potential impact of any divestiture, merger, acquisition, or other business combination that had not been completed as of the date of this filing. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

REKOR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Rekor Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes are unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of intangible assets, the fair value of debt and equity instruments, income taxes and determination of standalone selling prices in contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Amortization related to the Company's right-of-use assets is presented as part of general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods these amounts were presented as part of depreciation and amortization on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Company began to present interest income and interest expense as a net amount on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods, interest income was presented as part of other expense, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and capital raises and working capital, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates and will make certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, its ability to raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of the Company’s programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail these programs or expenditures to the extent management has the proper authority to do so and considers it probable that those implementations can be achieved within the look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support cash flow from operations. The Company attributes losses to non-capital expenditures related to the scaling of existing products, development of new products and service offerings and marketing efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $
Our cash increased by $
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is actively monitoring its operations, the cash on hand and working capital. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing external financing options in order to sustain its operations. If additional financing is not available, the Company also has contingency plans to continue to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays should operations weaken in the look-forward period.
Goodwill
The excess purchase consideration over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company will assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, by comparing its carrying value to the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment on October 1, or more frequently, when events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any events that would cause it to assess goodwill for impairment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the licensing and sale of its roadway data and traffic management product and service offerings. These offerings include a mixture of data collection, implementation, engineering, customer support and maintenance services, as well as software and hardware. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price | |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied |
The following table presents a summary of revenue (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
| Recurring revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Product and service revenue | ||||||||||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Revenues
Recurring revenue
Recurring revenue includes the Company’s SaaS revenue, subscription revenue, eCommerce revenue and customer support revenue. The Company generates recurring revenue both from long-term contracts with customers that provide for periodic payments and from short-term contracts that are automatically invoiced on a monthly basis. The Company’s recurring revenue is generated by a combination of direct sales, partner-assisted sales, and eCommerce sales.
Recurring revenues are generated through the Company’s Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") model, where the Company provides customers with the right to access the Company’s software solutions for a fee. These services are made available to the customer continuously throughout the contractual period. However, the extent to which the customer uses the services may vary at the customer’s discretion. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one to five years. The payments for SaaS solutions may be received either at the inception of the arrangement or over the term of the arrangement. These SaaS solutions are considered to have a single performance obligation where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit, and as such, we recognize revenue for these arrangements ratably over the term of the contractual agreement.
The Company also currently receives recurring revenues under contracts entered into using a subscription model for data collection services and bundled hardware and software over a period. Payments for these services and subscriptions are received periodically over the term of the agreement and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. In addition, some of our subscription revenue includes providing, through a web server, access to the Company’s software solutions, a self-managed database, and a cross-platform application programming interface. The subscription arrangements with these customers typically do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the Company’s solutions over the contractual period. The Company’s subscription services arrangements are non-cancelable and do not contain refund-type provisions. Accordingly, any fixed consideration related to the arrangement is generally recognized as recurring revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date access to the Company’s software is provided.
eCommerce revenue is defined by the Company as revenue obtained through direct sales on the Company’s eCommerce platform. The Company’s eCommerce revenue generally includes subscriptions to the Company’s vehicle recognition software which can be purchased online and activated through a digital key. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one month with automatic renewal each month. The Company invoices and receives fees from its customers monthly.
Customer support revenue is associated with perpetual licenses and long-term subscription arrangements and consists primarily of technical support and product updates. The Company’s customer support team is ready to provide these maintenance services, as needed, to the customer during the contract term. The customer benefits evenly throughout the contract period from the guarantee that the customer support resources and personnel will be available to them. As customer support is not critical to the customers' ability to derive benefit from their right to use the Company’s software, customer support is considered a distinct performance obligation when sold together with a long-term license for software. Customer support for perpetual and term licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Customer support for subscription licenses is renewable concurrently with such licenses for the same duration of time. Revenue for customer support is recognized ratably over the contract period based on the start and end dates of the customer support obligation, in line with how the Company believes services are provided.
Product and service revenue
Product and service revenue is defined as the Company’s implementation revenue, perpetual license sales, hardware sales, engineering services and contactless compliance revenue.
Implementation revenue is recognized when the Company provides implementation or construction services to its customers. These services involve a fee for the implementation services and are typically associated with the sale of the Company’s data collection services, software and hardware. The Company’s implementation revenue is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
In addition to recurring revenue from software sales, the Company recognizes point-in-time revenue related to the sale of perpetual software licenses. The Company sells perpetual licenses that provide customers the right to use software for an indefinite period in exchange for a one-time license fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. The Company’s perpetual licenses provide a right to use intellectual property (“IP”) that is functional in nature and has significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for perpetual licenses of functional IP, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the customer has access to the software, which normally occurs once software activation keys have been made available to the customer.
The Company also generates revenue through the sale of hardware through its partner program and internal sales force distribution channels. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon the transfer of control of hardware to its customers. The Company invoices end-user customers upon transfer of control of the hardware to its customers. The Company provides hardware installation services to customers which range from one to six months. The revenue related to the installation component is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
Contactless compliance revenues reflect arrangements to provide hardware systems and services that identify uninsured motor vehicles, notify owners of non-compliance through a diversion citation, and assist them in obtaining the required insurance as an alternative to traditional enforcement methods. Revenue is recognized monthly based on the number of diversion citations collected by the relevant jurisdiction.
The Company also generates revenue through its engineering services. These services are provided at the request of its customers and the revenue related to these services is recognized over time as the service is completed.
Revenue by Customer Type
The following table presents a summary of revenue by customer type (dollars in thousands):

| Urban mobility | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Traffic management | ||||||||||||||||
| Licensing and other revenue | ||||||||||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Urban mobility
Urban mobility revenue consists of revenue derived from the Company's roadway data aggregation activities. These activities include the use of software applications that are part of the Rekor Discover™ platform, the primary application being Rekor’s count, class & speed application. The application fully automates the aggregation of Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) 13-bin vehicle classification, speed, and volume data. Revenues associated with the deployment of other traffic sensors, traffic studies, or construction associated with traffic data collection are also part of data aggregation revenue, which is generated through both recurring pay-for-data contracts and hardware sales with a recurring software maintenance component. The Company initiated these traffic data collection activities in June of 2022.
Traffic management
Traffic management revenue is associated with the Rekor Command™ platform and the associated applications underneath the platform. These provide traffic operations and traffic management centers with support through actionable, real-time incident reports integrated into a cross-agency communication and response system. Revenue is generated through contracts that include an upfront as well as recurring component.
Licensing and other revenue
Licensing and other revenue consists of licensing of the Rekor Scout™ platform, licensing of Rekor CarCheck™ API, licensing of Rekor’s vehicle recognition software, as well as systems deployed for security, contactless compliance and public safety. Revenue is generated through recurring and perpetual license sales as well as one-time hardware sales.
Performance obligations
The Company contracts with customers in a variety of ways, including contracts that obligate the Company to provide services over time. Some contracts include performance obligations for several distinct services. For contracts that have multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. This may result in a deferral or acceleration of revenue recognized relative to cash received for each distinct performance obligation. When the Company recognizes revenue due to the sale of hardware or perpetual software licenses, the impact on the overall unsatisfied performance obligations is relatively small as the Company satisfies most of its performance obligations at the point in time that the control of the hardware or software has transferred to the customer.
Where performance obligations for a contract with a customer are not yet satisfied or have only been partially satisfied as of a particular date, the unsatisfied portion is to be recognized as revenue in the future. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $
Unbilled accounts receivable
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivables, and contract liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Billed and unbilled accounts receivable are presented as part of accounts receivable, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. When billing occurs after services have been provided, such unbilled amounts will generally be billed and collected within 60 to 120 days, but typically no longer than over the next twelve months. Unbilled accounts receivables of $
Contract liabilities
When the Company advance bills clients prior to providing services, generally such amounts will be earned and recognized in revenue within the next six months to five years, depending on the subscription or licensing period. These assets and liabilities are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were not materially impacted by any other factors. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $

Significant Accounting Policies
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in the Current Period
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Upon adoption of the new standard, the Company began recognizing an allowance for credit losses based on the estimated lifetime expected credit loss related to the Company’s financial assets. Due to the nature and extent of the Company’s financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable and a note receivable) currently within the scope of ASU 2016-13 and based on the Company’s analysis of ASU 2016-13 and the historical, current and expected credit quality of the Company’s customers, ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets.
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, other than the standards discussed above, could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Additional significant accounting policies of the Company are also described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The 2023 Promissory Notes are a senior secured obligation of the Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The 2023 Promissory Notes have a maturity date of July 18, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all remaining outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due.

The Company determined that the holder redemption and mandatory redemption options would qualify as derivatives and be subject to accounting under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company believes that the fair value associated with the embedded derivatives related to the holder and mandatory redemption rights are inconsequential.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the investors. The Company has a material relationship with two of the investors, (i) Robert A. Berman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, and (ii) Arctis Global Master Fund Limited (“Arctis”), an affiliate of Arctis Global, LLC, a
The Securities Purchase Agreement further provides Arctis with the right to designate a director to be seated on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) for a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, at which meeting such director shall be nominated by the Board to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders to serve for a term to expire at the next annual meeting of the stockholders. Arctis has a right to a Board designee for so long as it holds the 2023 Promissory Notes, and such right may not be sold or transferred to any party not affiliated with Arctis. As a result of this right, the Nominations Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has nominated a director designated by Arctis to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
The 2023 Promissory Notes impose certain financial covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, and restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the 2023 Promissory Notes occurs, the investors can elect to redeem the 2023 Promissory Notes for cash in accordance with the Early Redemption Schedule, plus default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred taxes, outside of the deferred tax liability related to the indefinite lived intangible, through June 30, 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in Israel, the United States and in various states. No U.S. Federal, state or foreign income tax audits were in process as of June 30, 2023.
The Company evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets, outside of the deferred tax liability related to the indefinite lived intangibles, because the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that their benefits will be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. It is the Company’s policy to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. The through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our evaluation revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company may be named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, infringement of proprietary rights, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the Company’s opinion that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Firestorm Principals
On August 19, 2019, we filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against three former executives of the Company who were founders of two related former subsidiaries (the “Firestorm Principals”)—Rekor Systems, Inc. v. Suzanne Loughlin, et al., Case no. 1:19-cv-07767-VEC. The Firestorm Principals answered together with counterclaims on February 28, 2020. In 2020, the Firestorm Principals filed various suits in New York, Delaware and Virginia against directors and officers of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and libel.
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Firestorm Principals. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the parties have mutually released and discharged all existing and potential actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, damages or claims against each other, including certain claims for officer indemnification of the Firestorm Principals. In exchange for the mutual releases, the Company will transfer certain Firestorm assets to CrisisRisk Strategies, LLC and make a payment of $

2023 Warrants
In connection with the initial closing of the 2023 Promissory Notes on January 18, 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase
The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value and projected volatility of the underlying common stock and the expected term of the award. The fair value of each warrant granted has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Expected term (in years) | ||||
| Volatility | % | |||
| Dividend yield | % | |||
| Estimated annual forfeiture rate at the time of grant | % |
The Company treats the warrants as a debt discount, recorded as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as interest expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At-the-Market Offering
On February 24, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2022 Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc.

Opportunities, Trends and Uncertainties
We look to identify the various trends, market cycles, uncertainties and other factors that may provide us with opportunities and present challenges that impact our operations and financial condition from time to time. Although there are many that we may not or cannot foresee, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by the following:
| ● |
Growing Smart City Market – According to a United Nations report, about two-thirds of the world population will live in urban areas by 2050. The world’s cities are getting larger, with longer commutes and the resulting impact on the environment and the quality of life. This trend requires forward-thinking officials to manage assets and resources more efficiently. We believe that advancements in “big data” connected devices and artificial intelligence can provide Intelligent Transportation System (“ITS”) solutions that can be used to reduce congestion, keep travelers safe, improve transportation, protect the environment, respond to climate change, and enhance the quality of life. We believe our data-driven, artificial intelligence-aided solutions provide useful tools that can effectively tackle the challenges cities and communities are facing today and will face over the coming decades. | |
| ● |
AI for Infrastructure – We believe that the application of AI to the analysis of conditions on roadways and other transportation infrastructure can significantly affect the safety and efficiency of travel in the future. As vehicles move towards full automation, there is a need for real-time data and actionable insights around traffic flow, identification of anomalous and unsafe movements – e.g. wrong way vehicles, stopped vehicles, or/and pedestrians on the roadway. Marketers and drive-thru retailers with loyalty programs can also benefit from rapid, lower cost identification of existing and potential customers in streamlining and accelerating local vehicular flow as well as data about the vehicles on the roadway. |
|
| ● |
Connected Vehicle Data – Today’s new vehicles are equipped with dozens of sensors, collecting information about internal systems, external hazards, and driving behaviors. This data is a resource that transportation and other agencies are beginning to find valuable uses for. Notably, the data from these vehicles represent a virtual network that is independent of the infrastructure which is maintained and operated by the public agencies. Connected vehicle sensors can provide important information related to hazardous conditions, speed variations, intersection performance, and more. This data can help agencies and municipalities gain more visibility about conditions on their roads, supplementing data from existing infrastructure and allowing transportation information from rural areas that are not served by ITS infrastructure to be integrated into the overall analysis. |
|
| ● |
New and Expanded Uses for Vehicle Recognition Systems – We believe that reductions in the cost of vehicle recognition products and services will significantly broaden the market for these systems. We currently serve many users who could not afford the cost, or adapt to the restrictions of, conventional vehicle recognition systems. These include smaller municipalities, homeowners’ associations, and organizations finding new applications such as innovative customer loyalty programs. We have seen and responded to an increase in the number of smaller jurisdictions that are testing vehicle recognition systems or that issued requests for proposals to install a network of vehicle recognition sensors. We also expect the availability of faster, higher-accuracy, lower-cost systems to dramatically increase the ability of crowded urban areas to manage traffic congestion and implement smart city programs. |
|
| ● |
Adaptability of the Market – We have made a considerable investment in our advanced vehicle recognition systems because we believe their increased accuracy, affordability and ability to capture additional vehicle data will allow them to compete effectively with existing providers. However, large users of existing technology, such as toll road operators, have long-term contracts with service providers that have made considerable investments in their existing technologies and may not consider the improvements in accuracy or reductions in cost sufficient to justify abandoning their current systems in the near future. In addition, existing providers may be able to reduce the cost of their current offerings or elect to reduce prices and accept reduced profitability while working to develop their own systems or secure advanced systems from others who are also working to develop them. As a result, our success in establishing a major position in these markets will depend on being able to effectively communicate our presence, develop strong customer relationships, and maintain leadership in providing the capabilities that customers want. As with any large market, this will require considerable effort and resources. |
| ● |
Expansion of Automated Enforcement of Motor Vehicle Laws – We expect contactless compliance programs to be expanded as the types of vehicle related violations authorized for automated enforcement increase and experience provides localities with a better understanding of the circumstances where it is and is not beneficial. We believe that future legislation will increasingly allow for automated enforcement of regulations such as motor vehicle insurance and registration requirements. Communities are currently searching for better means of achieving compliance with minor vehicle offenses, such as lapsed registrations, and safety issues such as motorists who fail to stop for school buses. For example, due to high rates of fatalities and injuries to law enforcement and other emergency response crews on roadsides, several states are considering authorizing automated enforcement of violations where motorists fail to slow down and/or move over for emergency responders and law enforcement vehicles at the side of the road. To the extent that legislative implementation is required, a deliberative and necessarily time-consuming process is involved. However, as states expand auto-enforcement, the market for these products and services should broaden in the public safety market. |
|
| ● |
Graphic Processing Unit (“GPU”) Improvements – We expect our business to benefit from more powerful and affordable GPU hardware that has recently been developed. These GPUs are more efficient for image processing because their highly parallel structure makes them more efficient than general-purpose central processing units (“CPUs”) for algorithms that process large blocks of data, such as those produced by video streams. GPUs also provide superior memory bandwidth and efficiencies as compared to their CPU counterparts. The most recent versions of our software have been designed to use the increased GPU speeds to accelerate image recognition. The GPU market is predicted to grow as a result of a surge in the adoption of the Internet of Things (“IoT”) by the industrial and automotive sectors. As GPU manufacturers increase production volume, we hope to benefit from the reduced cost to manufacture the hardware included in our products or available to others using our services. |
|
| ● |
Edge Processing – Demand for actionable roadway information continues to grow in parallel with sensor improvements, such as increasingly sophisticated internal software and optical and other hardware adapted to the use of this software. Over the last several decades, sensors have evolved and unlocked new capabilities with each advancement. Further, cellular networks have been optimized for downloading data rather than uploading data. As a result, while download speeds have improved significantly due to large investments in cellular infrastructure, this has resulted in relatively small improvements to cellular upload speeds. With roadside deployments experiencing explosive growth in count and density, scalability, latency and bandwidth have become aspects of competition in the market. Our systems have been designed to address these issues through the use of more effective edge processing, enabled both by incorporating the increasingly effective new GPUs into our systems and continual improvements in the efficiency of our AI algorithms. Our edge processing systems ingest local HD video streams at the source and convert the raw video data to text data, dramatically reducing the volume of data that needs to be transferred through the network. Edge processing allows us to scale a network dramatically without the bandwidth, cost, latency and dependability limitations that are experienced by other networks where raw video needs to be streamed to the cloud for processing. |
|
| ● |
Accelerated Business Development and Marketing – Our ability to compete in a large, competitive and rapidly evolving industry will require us to achieve and maintain a visible leadership position. As a result, we have made significant investments in our business development marketing and eCommerce activities to increase awareness and market adoption of our products and services within key markets. We anticipate that a sustained presence in the market, the continued development of strategic partnerships and other economies of scale will reduce the level of costs necessary to support sales of our products and services. However, the speed at which these markets grow to the degree to which our products and services are adopted is uncertain. |
|
| ● |
Resurgent COVID 19 - The spread of a novel strain of COVID-19 around the world since the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. Despite the roll-out of vaccinations, there continues to be significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies. As such, we are unable to determine the full impact on our operations should the global pandemic resurface in 2023. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of new technologies by businesses. According to a McKinsey Global Survey of executives, their companies have accelerated the digitization of their customer and supply-chain interactions and their internal operations by three to four years. Funding for digital initiatives has increased, creating opportunities for innovative solution providers such as Rekor. |
| ● |
Pressure on Government Budgets – COVID-19 has caused significant strain on government budgets. With less money to spend and more need for resources, government agencies need affordable, effective, and scalable solutions for revenue recovery and discovery. With subscription pricing and an intelligent infrastructure platform that accomplishes multiple agency missions, we are uniquely positioned to provide agencies with force-multiplying tools when money and human resources are limited. Agencies can be better positioned to improve public safety, manage resources more effectively, and make an impact on their citizen's quality of life with limited capital expenditure. In addition, states adopting contactless compliance programs may be able to garner significant net cash contributions to their annual budgets while reducing the number of non-compliant vehicles on their roadways. |
|
| ● |
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (“BIL”) - The IIJA, signed into law on November 15, 2021, provides for significant national investments in the transportation systems in the United States, including over $150 billion in new spending on roadway infrastructure, including intelligent transportation systems. We believe that our comprehensive offering of solutions positions the Company well to emerge as a technology leader in the expanded market for roadway intelligence that will benefit from this legislation. We have identified opportunities to access federal funding streams, and we are working to implement a program that capitalizes on this unprecedented U.S. federal investment in public safety, homeland security, and transportation infrastructure and ensures that our customers are positioned to capture as much of this extraordinary government spending as possible. Beyond the many recurring federal grant programs that could support customer purchases, and the $350 billion in American Rescue Plan Act allocations that public agencies are receiving now, we are particularly excited about the prospect of benefitting from the following new grant sources that are contained in the IIJA: $200 million annually for a “Safe Streets and Roads for All” program that would make competitive grants for state projects that significantly reduce or eliminate transportation-related fatalities. $150 million for the current administration to establish a grant program to modernize state data collection systems $500 million for the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (“SMART”) Grant Program that would support demonstration projects on smart technologies that improve transportation efficiency and safety. |
Components of Operating Results
Revenues
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of its roadway data aggregation, traffic management and licensing offerings. These offerings include a mixture of data collection, implementation, engineering, customer support and maintenance services as well as software and hardware. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
Costs of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization
Direct costs of revenues consist primarily of the portion of technical and non-technical salaries and wages and payroll-related costs incurred in connection with revenue-generating activities. Direct costs of revenues also include production expenses, data subscriptions, sub-consultant services and other expenses that are incurred in connection with our revenue-generating activities. Direct costs of revenues exclude the portion of technical and non-technical salaries and wages related to marketing efforts, vacations, holidays, and other time not spent directly generating fees under existing contracts. Such costs are included in operating expenses. We expense direct costs of revenues when they incur.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing, research and development and depreciation and amortization. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes and stock-based compensation expenses. Operating expenses also include depreciation, amortization, and impairment of assets.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, and administrative departments. Additional expenses include office leases, professional fees, and insurance.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the costs associated with our growth and the costs of accounting, compliance, insurance, and investor relations as a public company. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses. However, our general and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of our revenue and, to the extent we continue to be successful in generating increased revenue, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel costs, marketing programs, travel and entertainment associated with sales and marketing personnel, expenses for conferences and trade shows. We will require significant investments in our sales and marketing expenses to continue the rate of growth in our revenues, further penetrate existing markets and expand our customer base into new markets.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of personnel costs, software used to develop our products and consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources. Our research and development expenses support our efforts to continue to add capabilities to and improve the value of our existing products and services, as well as develop new products and services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital investments and consist of fixed asset depreciation, amortization of intangibles considered to have definite lives, and amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of legal settlements, legal judgements, interest expense in connection with our debt arrangements, costs associated with the extinguishment of our debt arrangements, gains on the sale of subsidiaries, gains or losses on the sale of fixed assets, interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and note receivables.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision consists primarily of income taxes in certain domestic jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have recorded deferred tax assets for which a full valuation allowance has been provided, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. We expect to maintain this full valuation allowance for the foreseeable future as it is more likely than not that some or all of those deferred tax assets may not be realized based on our history of losses.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates and assumptions is included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to a $1,505,000 decrease in personnel costs which was primarily related to a decrease in bonus and share-based compensation expense and a $1,513,000 decrease in professional services which was primarily related to fees associated with our acquisition of STS in 2022.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to a $2,590,000 decrease in personnel costs which was primarily related to a decrease in bonus and share-based compensation expense.
The additional expenses related to our acquisition of STS in 2022 were more than offset by an overall decrease in personnel costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The decrease in selling and marketing expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, was attributable mainly to personnel costs which was primarily related to a decrease in share-based compensation expense.
Selling and marketing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, remained consistent period over period.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, remained consistent period over period.
The increase in research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily attributable to development expenses as we completed and began production deployment of our count, class and speed application. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was an increase in staffing to develop new products which led to a $923,000 increase in personnel costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
The increase in depreciation and amortization during the period is attributable primarily to the increased technology-based intangible assets that were acquired as part of our acquisition of STS.

Interest expense increased period over period due to the issuance of the 2023 Promissory notes.
Gain on extinguishment of debt is a result of the settlement agreement in the Firestorm litigation. As part of the settlement, we recorded a reduction to notes payable, the related accrued interest and other assets and liabilities which were part of the Firestorm entities.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for (i) impairment of intangible assets, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) losses or gains on sales of subsidiaries, (v) losses associated with equity method investments, (vi) merger and acquisition transaction costs and (vii) other unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of our operating performance or as a measure of liquidity or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of a company’s ability to service and/or incur debt. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We expect Adjusted Gross Margin to continue to improve over time to the extent that we can gain efficiencies through the adoption of our technology and successfully cross-sell and upsell our current and future offerings. However, our ability to improve Adjusted Gross Margin over time is not guaranteed and could be impacted by the factors affecting our performance. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors, as they eliminate the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of non-cash expenses and certain other nonrecurring operating expenses.

Adjusted Gross Margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As Company continues to scale and standardize it product offerings it has begun to realize operational efficiencies that have resulted in an improved Adjusted Gross Margin. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a higher mix of software sales which typically carry a higher Adjusted Gross Margin.
Key Performance Indicators
We regularly review several indicators, including the following key indicators, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Recurring Revenue Growth
As part of the ongoing development of our selling strategy, we have been focusing on sales that employ contracts with recurring revenue. We expect these contracts to provide a more predictable stream of revenues, compared to one-time sales of hardware and software licenses which are generally more difficult to predict. Our recurring revenue model and revenue retention rates provide significant visibility into our future operating results and cash flow from operations. This visibility enables us to better manage and invest in our business. The following table sets forth our recurring revenue for the periods included:

As we continue to focus on long-term contracts with recurring revenue as part of our business model, we expect recurring revenue growth in future periods to continue to increase as we move to market the integrated suite of products and services powered by our Rekor One™ engine.
Total Contract Value
There are certain assumptions that we make when determining the total contract value of an agreement, such as the success rate of renewal periods, cancellations and usage estimates.

The increase in total contract value is primarily related to large statewide contracts that closed across all three customer markets.
Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $31,774,000 of contracts that were closed prior to June 30, 2023 but have a contractual period beyond June 30, 2023. This represents an increase of $10,362,000 or 48% compared to $21,412,000 of performance obligations as of December 31, 2022. These contracts generally cover a term of one to five years, in which the Company will recognize revenue ratably over the contract term. We currently expect to recognize approximately 69% of this amount over the succeeding twelve months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized over the following four years. On occasion, our customers will prepay the full contract or a substantial portion of the contract. Amounts related to the prepayment of the contract related to the performance obligation for a service period that is not yet met are recorded as part of our contract liabilities balance.
The increase in total performance obligations is primarily related to our acquisition of STS.
Lease Obligations
As of June 30, 2023, we had material leased building space at the following locations in the U.S. and Israel:
| ● |
Columbia, Maryland – The corporate headquarters |
|
| ● |
Tel Aviv, Israel |
We believe our facilities are in good condition and adequate for their current use. We expect to improve, replace and increase facilities as considered appropriate to meet the needs of our planned operations.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 had a decrease of $3,893,000, which was primarily attributable to the decrease of $4,268,000 in the loss from continuing operations.
The net decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $8,877,000 was primarily due to a decrease in the outflow of funds used for capital expenditures. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net cash outflows of $6,389,000 related to the acquisition of STS.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $45,000 from the prior six month period ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, as part of our 2023 Promissory Notes and the 2023 Registered Direct Offering, we received net proceeds of $11,100,000 and $9,160,000, respectively. In the prior comparable quarterly period, through our 2022 Sales Agreement, we received net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, of $20,408,000.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we funded our operations primarily through cash from operating activities, the issuance of debt and the sale of equity. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations of $2,784,000 and a working capital deficit of $1,692,000, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,178,000 and a working capital deficit of $6,010,000 as of December 31, 2022.
We will assess going concern uncertainty in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand, capital raises and working capital, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates and will make certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, its ability to raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of our programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail these programs or expenditures to the extent we have the proper authority to do so and consider probable that those implementations can be achieved within the look-forward period.
We have generated losses since our inception and have relied on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support cash flow from operations. We attribute losses to non-capital expenditures related to the scaling of existing products, development of new products and service offerings and marketing efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $1,692,000 and a loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000.
Our cash increased by $316,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to external financing which was offset by the loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000. As described in NOTE 13-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS to the financial statements included in Item 1 hereof, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,997,000 as a result of a warrant exercise on July 25, 2023.
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is actively monitoring its operations, the cash on hand and working capital. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing external financing options in order to sustain its operations. During the third quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the Company implemented strategic expense reductions in certain areas to better align its operations with near term revenue generating opportunities. If additional financing is not available, the Company has contingency plans to further reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays in the look-forward period.
2023 Promissory Notes with Warrants
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement transaction (i) up to $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured promissory notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the initial closing on January 18, 2023, the Company issued $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $12,500,000 before reimbursement of expenses.
2023 Registered Public Offering
On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single institutional investor that provided for the sale and issuance by the Company in a registered direct offering of an aggregate of: (i) 6,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 772,853 shares of common stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 6,872,853 shares of common stock. The offering price per share of common stock and associated warrant was $1.455 and the offering price per pre-funded warrant and associated warrant was $1.454. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and will expire when exercised in full. The warrants to purchase common stock became exercisable immediately upon issuance, will expire five years following the issuance date and have an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The Company received gross proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering of approximately $10,000,000. The Offering closed on March 27, 2023.
The Company entered into an engagement letter with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to serve as exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection with the offering. The Company paid the placement agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. The Company also paid the placement agent $75,000 for non-accountable expenses and $16,000 for clearing fees. Additionally, the Company issued designees of the placement agent, as compensation, warrants to purchase up to 481,100 shares of common stock, equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants placed in the offering. The warrants issued to the placement agent have a term of five (5) years and an exercise price of $1.8188 per share of common stock.
As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, Rekor is not required to provide the information required by Item 3.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on management’s review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.
Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Firestorm Principals. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the parties have mutually released and discharged all existing and potential actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, damages or claims against each other, including certain claims for officer indemnification of the Firestorm Principals. In exchange for the mutual releases, the Company will transfer certain Firestorm assets to CrisisRisk Strategies, LLC, make a payment of $175,000, and the Firestorm Principals have agreed to the extinguishment of all rights to enforce their claims for payment with respect to principal and interest on the promissory notes issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Firestorm, and are giving up their rights to exercise the warrants issued in connection with the same.
As a result of the settlement agreement, the Company recorded a reduction to notes payable, the related accrued interest and other assets and liabilities already presented as discontinued operations. The Company also cancelled warrants to purchase 631,254 shares of common stock, which were issued in connection with the acquisition of Firestorm.
In addition, from time to time, the Company may be named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, infringement of proprietary rights, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the Company’s opinion that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. We encourage investors to review the risk factors and uncertainties relating to our business disclosed in that Form 10-K, as well as those contained in Part 1, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, above.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
STS Acquisition
As previously disclosed under Item 3.02 in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2022, as part of the purchase price the Company issued to the sellers of STS 798,666 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $2,000,000. The stock consideration paid to the sellers was issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D, as promulgated thereunder.
2023 Promissory Notes with Warrants
As previously disclosed under Item 3.02 in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement transaction (i) up to $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured promissory notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the initial closing on January 18, 2023, the Company issued $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $12,500,000 before reimbursement of expenses.
Use of Proceeds
We have generated losses since our inception and have relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, short-term borrowing arrangements, issuance of debt, the sale of a note, sale of our non-core subsidiaries, and the sale of common stock to provide cash for operations. We attribute losses to financing costs, public company corporate overhead, lower than expected revenue, and lower gross profit of some of our subsidiaries. Our proceeds have been primarily used for research and development, legal, financing costs, acquisition costs and sales and marketing expenses related to new product development and our strategic shift to develop and promote the capabilities of our technology offerings.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company provides products and services for the collection, distribution and analysis of transportation data and is a global leader in the development and implementation of advanced roadway intelligence infrastructure focused on addressing the world’s most critical challenges across transportation management, public safety, and key commercial markets. With a real-time intelligence platform driven by deep access to data, AI-powered software, and smart optical devices at-the-edge, the Company combines its industry expertise and advanced proprietary technologies to deliver insights that increase roadway safety, efficiency, and sustainability while enabling safer, smarter, and more connected cities and communities.
On
December 6, 2022, the Company divested its Automated Traffic Safety and Enforcement ("ATSE") business, a non-core business unit. As of
December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the ATSE business unit met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. Amounts for th
e
three and six months ended June 30, 2022
, have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
On
June 17, 2022
, the Company completed the acquisition of Southern Traffic Services, Inc. ("STS") by acquiring
100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of STS, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Rekor Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes are unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of intangible assets, the fair value of debt and equity instruments, income taxes and determination of standalone selling prices in contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Amortization related to the Company's right-of-use assets is presented as part of general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods these amounts were presented as part of depreciation and amortization on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Company began to present interest income and interest expense as a net amount on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods, interest income was presented as part of other expense, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and capital raises and working capital, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates and will make certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, its ability to raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of the Company’s programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail these programs or expenditures to the extent management has the proper authority to do so and considers it probable that those implementations can be achieved within the look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support cash flow from operations. The Company attributes losses to non-capital expenditures related to the scaling of existing products, development of new products and service offerings and marketing efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $1,692,000 and a loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000.
Our cash increased by $316,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to external financing which was offset by the loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000. As described in NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,997,000 as a result of a warrant exercise on July 25, 2023.
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is actively monitoring its operations, the cash on hand and working capital. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing external financing options in order to sustain its operations. If additional financing is not available, the Company also has contingency plans to continue to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays should operations weaken in the look-forward period.
Goodwill
The excess purchase consideration over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company will assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, by comparing its carrying value to the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment on October 1, or more frequently, when events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any events that would cause it to assess goodwill for impairment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the licensing and sale of its roadway data and traffic management product and service offerings. These offerings include a mixture of data collection, implementation, engineering, customer support and maintenance services, as well as software and hardware. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
The following table presents a summary of revenue (dollars in thousands):
Revenues
Recurring revenue
Recurring revenue includes the Company’s SaaS revenue, subscription revenue, eCommerce revenue and customer support revenue. The Company generates recurring revenue both from long-term contracts with customers that provide for periodic payments and from short-term contracts that are automatically invoiced on a monthly basis. The Company’s recurring revenue is generated by a combination of direct sales, partner-assisted sales, and eCommerce sales.
Recurring revenues are generated through the Company’s Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") model, where the Company provides customers with the right to access the Company’s software solutions for a fee. These services are made available to the customer continuously throughout the contractual period. However, the extent to which the customer uses the services may vary at the customer’s discretion. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one to five years. The payments for SaaS solutions may be received either at the inception of the arrangement or over the term of the arrangement. These SaaS solutions are considered to have a single performance obligation where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit, and as such, we recognize revenue for these arrangements ratably over the term of the contractual agreement.
The Company also currently receives recurring revenues under contracts entered into using a subscription model for data collection services and bundled hardware and software over a period. Payments for these services and subscriptions are received periodically over the term of the agreement and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. In addition, some of our subscription revenue includes providing, through a web server, access to the Company’s software solutions, a self-managed database, and a cross-platform application programming interface. The subscription arrangements with these customers typically do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the Company’s solutions over the contractual period. The Company’s subscription services arrangements are non-cancelable and do not contain refund-type provisions. Accordingly, any fixed consideration related to the arrangement is generally recognized as recurring revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date access to the Company’s software is provided.
eCommerce revenue is defined by the Company as revenue obtained through direct sales on the Company’s eCommerce platform. The Company’s eCommerce revenue generally includes subscriptions to the Company’s vehicle recognition software which can be purchased online and activated through a digital key. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one month with automatic renewal each month. The Company invoices and receives fees from its customers monthly.
Customer support revenue is associated with perpetual licenses and long-term subscription arrangements and consists primarily of technical support and product updates. The Company’s customer support team is ready to provide these maintenance services, as needed, to the customer during the contract term. The customer benefits evenly throughout the contract period from the guarantee that the customer support resources and personnel will be available to them. As customer support is not critical to the customers' ability to derive benefit from their right to use the Company’s software, customer support is considered a distinct performance obligation when sold together with a long-term license for software. Customer support for perpetual and term licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Customer support for subscription licenses is renewable concurrently with such licenses for the same duration of time. Revenue for customer support is recognized ratably over the contract period based on the start and end dates of the customer support obligation, in line with how the Company believes services are provided.
Product and service revenue
Product and service revenue is defined as the Company’s implementation revenue, perpetual license sales, hardware sales, engineering services and contactless compliance revenue.
Implementation revenue is recognized when the Company provides implementation or construction services to its customers. These services involve a fee for the implementation services and are typically associated with the sale of the Company’s data collection services, software and hardware. The Company’s implementation revenue is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
In addition to recurring revenue from software sales, the Company recognizes point-in-time revenue related to the sale of perpetual software licenses. The Company sells perpetual licenses that provide customers the right to use software for an indefinite period in exchange for a one-time license fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. The Company’s perpetual licenses provide a right to use intellectual property (“IP”) that is functional in nature and has significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for perpetual licenses of functional IP, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the customer has access to the software, which normally occurs once software activation keys have been made available to the customer.
The Company also generates revenue through the sale of hardware through its partner program and internal sales force distribution channels. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon the transfer of control of hardware to its customers. The Company invoices end-user customers upon transfer of control of the hardware to its customers. The Company provides hardware installation services to customers which range from one to six months. The revenue related to the installation component is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
Contactless compliance revenues reflect arrangements to provide hardware systems and services that identify uninsured motor vehicles, notify owners of non-compliance through a diversion citation, and assist them in obtaining the required insurance as an alternative to traditional enforcement methods. Revenue is recognized monthly based on the number of diversion citations collected by the relevant jurisdiction.
The Company also generates revenue through its engineering services. These services are provided at the request of its customers and the revenue related to these services is recognized over time as the service is completed.
Revenue by Customer Type
The following table presents a summary of revenue by customer type (dollars in thousands):
Urban mobility
Urban mobility revenue consists of revenue derived from the Company's roadway data aggregation activities. These activities include the use of software applications that are part of the Rekor Discover™ platform, the primary application being Rekor’s count, class & speed application. The application fully automates the aggregation of Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) 13-bin vehicle classification, speed, and volume data. Revenues associated with the deployment of other traffic sensors, traffic studies, or construction associated with traffic data collection are also part of data aggregation revenue, which is generated through both recurring pay-for-data contracts and hardware sales with a recurring software maintenance component. The Company initiated these traffic data collection activities in June of 2022.
Traffic management
Traffic management revenue is associated with the Rekor Command™ platform and the associated applications underneath the platform. These provide traffic operations and traffic management centers with support through actionable, real-time incident reports integrated into a cross-agency communication and response system. Revenue is generated through contracts that include an upfront as well as recurring component.
Licensing and other revenue
Licensing and other revenue consists of licensing of the Rekor Scout™ platform, licensing of Rekor CarCheck™ API, licensing of Rekor’s vehicle recognition software, as well as systems deployed for security, contactless compliance and public safety. Revenue is generated through recurring and perpetual license sales as well as one-time hardware sales.
Performance obligations
The Company contracts with customers in a variety of ways, including contracts that obligate the Company to provide services over time. Some contracts include performance obligations for several distinct services. For contracts that have multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. This may result in a deferral or acceleration of revenue recognized relative to cash received for each distinct performance obligation. When the Company recognizes revenue due to the sale of hardware or perpetual software licenses, the impact on the overall unsatisfied performance obligations is relatively small as the Company satisfies most of its performance obligations at the point in time that the control of the hardware or software has transferred to the customer.
Where performance obligations for a contract with a customer are not yet satisfied or have only been partially satisfied as of a particular date, the unsatisfied portion is to be recognized as revenue in the future. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $31,774,000 of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partially satisfied. The Company expects to recognize approximately 69% of this amount as revenue over the succeeding months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized over the next to years thereafter.
Unbilled accounts receivable
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivables, and contract liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Billed and unbilled accounts receivable are presented as part of accounts receivable, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. When billing occurs after services have been provided, such unbilled amounts will generally be billed and collected within 60 to 120 days, but typically no longer than over the next twelve months. Unbilled accounts receivables of $1,381,000 and $935,000 were included in accounts receivable, net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Contract liabilities
When the Company advance bills clients prior to providing services, generally such amounts will be earned and recognized in revenue within the next six months to five years, depending on the subscription or licensing period. These assets and liabilities are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were not materially impacted by any other factors. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $5,123,000 and $4,049,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $2,092,000 of the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue.
The services due for contract liabilities described above are shown below as of June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash subject to contractual restrictions and not readily available for use is classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash balances are primarily made up of cash collected on behalf of certain clients. Restricted cash and cash equivalents for these clients as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $346,000 and $254,000, respectively, and correspond to equal amounts of related accounts payable and are presented as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company deposits its temporary cash investments with highly rated financial institutions that are located in the United States and Israel. The United States deposits are federally insured only up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deposits from continuing operations totaling $2,784,000 and $2,178,000, respectively, in multiple U.S. financial institutions and one Israeli financial institution.
Customer A accounted for 12% of the unaudited condensed consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023, Customer B accounted for 11% of the unaudited condensed consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2022, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated accounts receivable balance.

Significant Accounting Policies
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in the Current Period
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Upon adoption of the new standard, the Company began recognizing an allowance for credit losses based on the estimated lifetime expected credit loss related to the Company’s financial assets. Due to the nature and extent of the Company’s financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable and a note receivable) currently within the scope of ASU 2016-13 and based on the Company’s analysis of ASU 2016-13 and the historical, current and expected credit quality of the Company’s customers, ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets.
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, other than the standards discussed above, could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Additional significant accounting policies of the Company are also described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
STS Acquisition
On June 17, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Southern Traffic Services ("STS") by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of STS. The acquisition included total consideration of $12,799,000 including; cash consideration of $6,500,000, $1,001,000 related to an earnout based on the achievement of certain performance metrics ("STS Earnout") and $1,298,000 contingent on the closing of a future contract ("STS Contingent Consideration"), shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $2,000,000, and a $2,000,000 note. As a result of the transaction, STS has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values as of the acquisition date. Since the acquisition of STS occurred on June 17, 2022, the results of operations for STS from the date of acquisition have been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As part of the Company's purchase price allocation for the acquisition, the Company recognized $1,977,000 in goodwill, $3,400,000 in customer relationships and $700,000 of marketing related intangible assets related to the STS tradename.
The STS Contingent Consideration in the amount of $2,000,000 will be paid in cash if on or prior to October 30, 2024, the Company enters into a multi-year extension of the Georgia Department of Transportation Contract on substantially similar terms and conditions as the contract being extended. The STS Contingent Consideration shall be payable within 30 days of the effectiveness of the extension of the Georgia Department of Transportation Contract. STS Contingent Consideration is presented as part of other non-current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and remeasured on a quarterly basis. In connection with the Company's purchase price accounting, it evaluated the fair value of the STS Contingent Consideration at the time of acquisition and determined the fair value to be $1,298,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $46,000 and $91,000, respectively, in expense related to the remeasurement of the STS Contingent Consideration which is presented with general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The Company was to pay the STS Earnout payment, up to $2,000,000, within 60 days of December 31, 2022 based on the STS EBITDA for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2022. In connection with the Company's purchase price accounting, it evaluated the fair value of the STS Earnout at the time of acquisition and determined the fair value to be $1,001,000. As of December 31, 2022, it was determined that the STS Earnout was not achieved and thus the Company recognized a gain related to the remeasurement of the STS Earnout of $1,001,000.
Operations of Combined Entities
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition of STS as if it was consummated as of January 1, 2022. This unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for information purposes only and is not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2022 (the beginning of the earliest period presented) or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS
Investments in Unconsolidated Companies
In February 2017, the Company contributed substantially all the assets and certain liabilities related to its vehicle services business to Global Public Safety (the “GPS Closing”). After the GPS Closing, the Company continues to own 19.9% of the units of Global Public Safety. This equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and the Company reports this investment at cost, less impairment. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the investment in Global Public Safety had a value of $0.
In June 2020, the Company announced a joint venture in which the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in a newly formed entity, Roker Inc. (“Roker”). In the third quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company contributed $75,000 for its 50% equity interest for a total investment of $150,000. This investment is accounted for under the equity method. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the investment in Roker had a value of $0. Subsequent to the quarter end the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of Roker. (see NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS for more details).
There have been no distributions or earnings received from either investment.
Roker SAFE
In April 2021, the Company entered into a SAFE with Roker (the “Roker SAFE”). From 2021 through 2022 the Company made multiple investments totaling $2,005,000 in the Roker SAFE. The Roker SAFE allows the Company to participate in future equity financing of Roker, through a share-settled redemption of the amount invested (such notional being the “invested amount”). Alternatively, upon the occurrence of a change of control or an initial public offering (other than a qualified financing), the Company has the option to receive either (i) cash payment equal to the invested amount under the SAFE, or (ii) a number of shares of common stock equal to the invested amount divided by the liquidity price set forth in the Roker SAFE. The Company’s investment in the Roker SAFE is recorded on the cost method of accounting and included under SAFE investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and is shown as long-term, as it is not readily convertible into cash. If the Company identifies factors that may be indicative of impairment, the Company will review the investment for impairment. Subsequent to the quarter end substantially all of the assets of Roker were sold which initiated a triggering event related to the Company's SAFE agreements. (see NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS for more details). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment of $101,000 related to the SAFE that is presented as part of general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On June 17, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s acquisition of STS, the Company issued an aggregate of $2,000,000 of notes payable in the form of two unsecured, subordinated promissory notes, each in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and bearing an interest rate of 3.0% per annum, payable quarterly. The notes mature on June 14, 2024 and June 17, 2025, respectively. The aggregate balance of these notes payable was $2,000,000 as of December 31, 2022 and is included in notes payable long-term, in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate balance of these notes payable was $2,000,000 of which $1,000,000 was included in notes payable current portion and $1,000,000 was included in notes payable long-term, respectively, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2022 Promissory Notes
On December 20, 2022, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement (the “2022 Promissory Notes”) with (i) Robert A. Berman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, and (ii) Arctis Global Master Fund Limited (“Arctis”), an affiliate of Arctis Global, LLC, a 10.3% holder of Common Stock of the Company based on its Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2022, pursuant to which the lenders loaned $1,000,000 to the Company. During the first quarter of 2023, Robert A. Berman invested an additional $400,000 under the same terms as the 2022 Promissory Notes. The lenders were determined to be related parties. No 2022 Promissory Notes remain outstanding, as all 2022 Promissory Notes were exchanged in connection with the private placement of 2023 Promissory Notes described below.
2023 Promissory Notes
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement transaction (i) up to $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured promissory notes (the “2023 Promissory Notes”), and (ii) warrants to purchase, for an exercise price of $2.00 per share, up to an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with the initial closing on January 18, 2023, the Company issued $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Promissory Notes and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $12,500,000 before reimbursement of expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Promissory Notes were exchanged for equal principal amounts of the 2023 Promissory Notes which are included in the proceeds of $12,500,000. As a result, the 2022 Promissory Notes were exchanged with no further force and effect as of the effective date of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The 2023 Promissory Notes are a senior secured obligation of the Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The 2023 Promissory Notes have a maturity date of July 18, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all remaining outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due. The 2023 Promissory Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum, and the Company will be required to pay interest quarterly during each calendar year through and including the Maturity Date.
At any time, the Company may prepay all, or any portion of, the 2023 Promissory Notes by redemption at a price equal to (i) 120% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the 2023 Promissory Notes plus any accrued interest thereon, if redeemed on or prior to the first anniversary of issuance, (ii) 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the 2023 Promissory Notes plus any accrued interest thereon, if redeemed after the first anniversary of issuance and on or prior to the second anniversary of issuance, or (iii) 110% of the then-outstanding principal amount under the 2023 Promissory Notes plus any accrued interest thereon, if redeemed after the second anniversary of issuance and prior to the Maturity Date (the “Early Redemption Schedule”). The Investors will also have the option of requiring the Company to redeem the 2023 Promissory Notes in accordance with the Early Redemption Schedule if the Company undergoes a fundamental change.
The Company determined that the holder redemption and mandatory redemption options would qualify as derivatives and be subject to accounting under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company believes that the fair value associated with the embedded derivatives related to the holder and mandatory redemption rights are inconsequential.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the investors. The Company has a material relationship with two of the investors, (i) Robert A. Berman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, and (ii) Arctis Global Master Fund Limited (“Arctis”), an affiliate of Arctis Global, LLC, a 10.51% holder of Common Stock of the Company based on its Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023. Mr. Berman and Arctis invested $2,000,000 and $6,500,000, respectively, in connection with the $12,500,000 initial closing of the private placement. These lenders were determined to be related parties. Mr. Berman has an option, upon request of the Company made within months of the initial closing, to invest up to an additional $2,500,000 in a subsequent closing, or series of closings, on the same terms. In aggregate, such subsequent closings may result in the issuance of senior secured notes in the original principal amount of up to $2,500,000 and warrants to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Securities Purchase Agreement further provides Arctis with the right to designate a director to be seated on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) for a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, at which meeting such director shall be nominated by the Board to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders to serve for a term to expire at the next annual meeting of the stockholders. Arctis has a right to a Board designee for so long as it holds the 2023 Promissory Notes, and such right may not be sold or transferred to any party not affiliated with Arctis. As a result of this right, the Nominations Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has nominated a director designated by Arctis to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
The 2023 Promissory Notes impose certain financial covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions, and restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the 2023 Promissory Notes occurs, the investors can elect to redeem the 2023 Promissory Notes for cash in accordance with the Early Redemption Schedule, plus default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 14% from the date of an event of default.
The warrants issued in connection with the initial closing have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, are immediately exercisable, have a term of years from the date of issuance and are exercisable on a cash or cashless basis at the election of the holder.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred taxes, outside of the deferred tax liability related to the indefinite lived intangible, through June 30, 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in Israel, the United States and in various states. No U.S. Federal, state or foreign income tax audits were in process as of June 30, 2023.
The Company evaluated the recoverability of the net deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such net deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its net deferred tax assets, outside of the deferred tax liability related to the indefinite lived intangibles, because the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that their benefits will be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. It is the Company’s policy to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. The through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our evaluation revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company may be named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, infringement of proprietary rights, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the Company’s opinion that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Firestorm Principals
On August 19, 2019, we filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against three former executives of the Company who were founders of two related former subsidiaries (the “Firestorm Principals”)—Rekor Systems, Inc. v. Suzanne Loughlin, et al., Case no. 1:19-cv-07767-VEC. The Firestorm Principals answered together with counterclaims on February 28, 2020. In 2020, the Firestorm Principals filed various suits in New York, Delaware and Virginia against directors and officers of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and libel.
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Firestorm Principals. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the parties have mutually released and discharged all existing and potential actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, damages or claims against each other, including certain claims for officer indemnification of the Firestorm Principals. In exchange for the mutual releases, the Company will transfer certain Firestorm assets to CrisisRisk Strategies, LLC and make a payment of $175,000, and the Firestorm Principals have agreed to the extinguishment of all rights to enforce their claims for payment with respect to principal and interest on the promissory notes issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Firestorm, and are giving up their rights to exercise the warrants issued in connection with the same.
As a result of the settlement agreement, the Company recorded a reduction to notes payable, the related accrued interest and other assets and liabilities. The Company also cancelled warrants to purchase 631,254 shares of common stock, which were issued in connection with the acquisition of Firestorm.

Subsequent to the period end, the institutional investor connected to the 2023 Registered Direct Offering exercised 6,872,853 of the Registered Direct Warrants into an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock. See NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS for details on the transaction.

In connection with the initial closing of the 2023 Promissory Notes on January 18, 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of common stock. The warrants issued in connection with the initial closing have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, are immediately exercisable, have a term of years from the date of issuance and are exercisable on a cash or cashless basis at the election of the holder. The 2023 Warrants were valued at $5,125,000, at the time of issuance.
The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value and projected volatility of the underlying common stock and the expected term of the award. The fair value of each warrant granted has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
The Company treats the warrants as a debt discount, recorded as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as interest expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At-the-Market Offering
On February 24, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2022 Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”) to create an at the market equity program under which the Company from time to time may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”) through or to the Agent. The Agent was entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale. The Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $169,000 related to legal, accounting, and other fees in connection with the 2022 Sales Agreement. These costs were charged against the gross proceeds of the 2022 Sales Agreement and presented as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold 7,598,801 shares of common stock at a weighted-average selling price of $2.79 per share in accordance with the 2022 Sales Agreement. Net cash provided from the 2022 Sales Agreement was $20,408,000 after paying $169,000 related to the issuance cost, as well as 3.0% or $635,000 related to cash commissions provided to the Agent.
In December of 2022 the Company terminated the 2022 Sales Agreement.
STS Acquisition
In connection with the acquisition as described in NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS, the Company issued798,666 shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the consideration.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Roker Sale
On July 25, 2023, a buyer acquired substantially all of the assets of Roker. This was deemed to be a triggering event under the Roker SAFE Agreement. As result of the triggering of the Roker SAFE Agreement, the Company expects to receive substantially of its investment in the Roker SAFE.
Warrant Exercise

| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of intangible assets, the fair value of debt and equity instruments, income taxes and determination of standalone selling prices in contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |

| Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] |
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Amortization related to the Company's right-of-use assets is presented as part of general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods these amounts were presented as part of depreciation and amortization on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Company began to present interest income and interest expense as a net amount on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas in prior periods, interest income was presented as part of other expense, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |

| Liquidity [Policy Text Block] | Liquidity and Going Concern
Management will assess going concern uncertainty in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and capital raises and working capital, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections and estimates and will make certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, its ability to raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of the Company’s programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail these programs or expenditures to the extent management has the proper authority to do so and considers it probable that those implementations can be achieved within the look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support cash flow from operations. The Company attributes losses to non-capital expenditures related to the scaling of existing products, development of new products and service offerings and marketing efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $1,692,000 and a loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000.
Our cash increased by $316,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to external financing which was offset by the loss from continuing operations of $23,795,000. As described in NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,997,000 as a result of a warrant exercise on July 25, 2023.
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is actively monitoring its operations, the cash on hand and working capital. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing external financing options in order to sustain its operations. If additional financing is not available, the Company also has contingency plans to continue to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays should operations weaken in the look-forward period. |

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill
The excess purchase consideration over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company will assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, by comparing its carrying value to the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment on October 1, or more frequently, when events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any events that would cause it to assess goodwill for impairment. |

| Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the licensing and sale of its roadway data and traffic management product and service offerings. These offerings include a mixture of data collection, implementation, engineering, customer support and maintenance services, as well as software and hardware. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
The following table presents a summary of revenue (dollars in thousands):
Revenues
Recurring revenue
Recurring revenue includes the Company’s SaaS revenue, subscription revenue, eCommerce revenue and customer support revenue. The Company generates recurring revenue both from long-term contracts with customers that provide for periodic payments and from short-term contracts that are automatically invoiced on a monthly basis. The Company’s recurring revenue is generated by a combination of direct sales, partner-assisted sales, and eCommerce sales.
Recurring revenues are generated through the Company’s Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") model, where the Company provides customers with the right to access the Company’s software solutions for a fee. These services are made available to the customer continuously throughout the contractual period. However, the extent to which the customer uses the services may vary at the customer’s discretion. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one to five years. The payments for SaaS solutions may be received either at the inception of the arrangement or over the term of the arrangement. These SaaS solutions are considered to have a single performance obligation where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit, and as such, we recognize revenue for these arrangements ratably over the term of the contractual agreement.
The Company also currently receives recurring revenues under contracts entered into using a subscription model for data collection services and bundled hardware and software over a period. Payments for these services and subscriptions are received periodically over the term of the agreement and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. In addition, some of our subscription revenue includes providing, through a web server, access to the Company’s software solutions, a self-managed database, and a cross-platform application programming interface. The subscription arrangements with these customers typically do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the Company’s solutions over the contractual period. The Company’s subscription services arrangements are non-cancelable and do not contain refund-type provisions. Accordingly, any fixed consideration related to the arrangement is generally recognized as recurring revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date access to the Company’s software is provided.
eCommerce revenue is defined by the Company as revenue obtained through direct sales on the Company’s eCommerce platform. The Company’s eCommerce revenue generally includes subscriptions to the Company’s vehicle recognition software which can be purchased online and activated through a digital key. The Company's contracts with customers are generally for a term of one month with automatic renewal each month. The Company invoices and receives fees from its customers monthly.
Customer support revenue is associated with perpetual licenses and long-term subscription arrangements and consists primarily of technical support and product updates. The Company’s customer support team is ready to provide these maintenance services, as needed, to the customer during the contract term. The customer benefits evenly throughout the contract period from the guarantee that the customer support resources and personnel will be available to them. As customer support is not critical to the customers' ability to derive benefit from their right to use the Company’s software, customer support is considered a distinct performance obligation when sold together with a long-term license for software. Customer support for perpetual and term licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Customer support for subscription licenses is renewable concurrently with such licenses for the same duration of time. Revenue for customer support is recognized ratably over the contract period based on the start and end dates of the customer support obligation, in line with how the Company believes services are provided.
Product and service revenue
Product and service revenue is defined as the Company’s implementation revenue, perpetual license sales, hardware sales, engineering services and contactless compliance revenue.
Implementation revenue is recognized when the Company provides implementation or construction services to its customers. These services involve a fee for the implementation services and are typically associated with the sale of the Company’s data collection services, software and hardware. The Company’s implementation revenue is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
In addition to recurring revenue from software sales, the Company recognizes point-in-time revenue related to the sale of perpetual software licenses. The Company sells perpetual licenses that provide customers the right to use software for an indefinite period in exchange for a one-time license fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. The Company’s perpetual licenses provide a right to use intellectual property (“IP”) that is functional in nature and has significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for perpetual licenses of functional IP, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the customer has access to the software, which normally occurs once software activation keys have been made available to the customer.
The Company also generates revenue through the sale of hardware through its partner program and internal sales force distribution channels. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon the transfer of control of hardware to its customers. The Company invoices end-user customers upon transfer of control of the hardware to its customers. The Company provides hardware installation services to customers which range from one to six months. The revenue related to the installation component is recognized over time as the implementation is completed.
Contactless compliance revenues reflect arrangements to provide hardware systems and services that identify uninsured motor vehicles, notify owners of non-compliance through a diversion citation, and assist them in obtaining the required insurance as an alternative to traditional enforcement methods. Revenue is recognized monthly based on the number of diversion citations collected by the relevant jurisdiction.
The Company also generates revenue through its engineering services. These services are provided at the request of its customers and the revenue related to these services is recognized over time as the service is completed.
Revenue by Customer Type
The following table presents a summary of revenue by customer type (dollars in thousands):
Urban mobility
Urban mobility revenue consists of revenue derived from the Company's roadway data aggregation activities. These activities include the use of software applications that are part of the Rekor Discover™ platform, the primary application being Rekor’s count, class & speed application. The application fully automates the aggregation of Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) 13-bin vehicle classification, speed, and volume data. Revenues associated with the deployment of other traffic sensors, traffic studies, or construction associated with traffic data collection are also part of data aggregation revenue, which is generated through both recurring pay-for-data contracts and hardware sales with a recurring software maintenance component. The Company initiated these traffic data collection activities in June of 2022.
Traffic management
Traffic management revenue is associated with the Rekor Command™ platform and the associated applications underneath the platform. These provide traffic operations and traffic management centers with support through actionable, real-time incident reports integrated into a cross-agency communication and response system. Revenue is generated through contracts that include an upfront as well as recurring component.
Licensing and other revenue
Licensing and other revenue consists of licensing of the Rekor Scout™ platform, licensing of Rekor CarCheck™ API, licensing of Rekor’s vehicle recognition software, as well as systems deployed for security, contactless compliance and public safety. Revenue is generated through recurring and perpetual license sales as well as one-time hardware sales.
Performance obligations
The Company contracts with customers in a variety of ways, including contracts that obligate the Company to provide services over time. Some contracts include performance obligations for several distinct services. For contracts that have multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. This may result in a deferral or acceleration of revenue recognized relative to cash received for each distinct performance obligation. When the Company recognizes revenue due to the sale of hardware or perpetual software licenses, the impact on the overall unsatisfied performance obligations is relatively small as the Company satisfies most of its performance obligations at the point in time that the control of the hardware or software has transferred to the customer.
Where performance obligations for a contract with a customer are not yet satisfied or have only been partially satisfied as of a particular date, the unsatisfied portion is to be recognized as revenue in the future. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $31,774,000 of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partially satisfied. The Company expects to recognize approximately 69% of this amount as revenue over the succeeding months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized over the next to years thereafter.
Unbilled accounts receivable
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivables, and contract liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Billed and unbilled accounts receivable are presented as part of accounts receivable, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. When billing occurs after services have been provided, such unbilled amounts will generally be billed and collected within 60 to 120 days, but typically no longer than over the next twelve months. Unbilled accounts receivables of $1,381,000 and $935,000 were included in accounts receivable, net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Contract liabilities
When the Company advance bills clients prior to providing services, generally such amounts will be earned and recognized in revenue within the next six months to five years, depending on the subscription or licensing period. These assets and liabilities are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were not materially impacted by any other factors. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $5,123,000 and $4,049,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $2,092,000 of the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue.
The services due for contract liabilities described above are shown below as of June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash subject to contractual restrictions and not readily available for use is classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash balances are primarily made up of cash collected on behalf of certain clients. Restricted cash and cash equivalents for these clients as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $346,000 and $254,000, respectively, and correspond to equal amounts of related accounts payable and are presented as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in the Current Period
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Upon adoption of the new standard, the Company began recognizing an allowance for credit losses based on the estimated lifetime expected credit loss related to the Company’s financial assets. Due to the nature and extent of the Company’s financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable and a note receivable) currently within the scope of ASU 2016-13 and based on the Company’s analysis of ASU 2016-13 and the historical, current and expected credit quality of the Company’s customers, ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets.
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, other than the standards discussed above, could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Additional significant accounting policies of the Company are also described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. |
