Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Andrea Electronics Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Andrea” or the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2021 balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in December 31, 2021, audited consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity – ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” requires management to evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Based on the evaluation, management believes the Company has the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the next twelve months from the date of the financial statement issuance. This evaluation included the receipt of Employee Retention Credits, which were received by the Company in July 2022. Employee Retention Credits are refundable payroll tax credits established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help businesses retain employees. The Company recognized a $
The global economy, including the impact from the COVID-19 global pandemic (and new variants of COVID-19), continues to evolve. The Company continues to monitor the global economy and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory (including supply chain related impacts), purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of such impacts on the Company's operations and liquidity is uncertain and cannot be determined as of the date of this report. In 2021 and 2022, the Company saw an increase in component costs due to supply chain issues related to COVID-19 as well as general economic conditions and global issues such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which may continue into the future with additional ramifications to our business.

Note 3. Revenue Sharing, Note Purchase Agreement and Long-Term Debt
On December 24, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase Agreement (the “Revenue Sharing Agreement”) with AND34 Funding LLC (“AND34”) (acting as the “Revenue Participants,” the “Note Purchasers,” and the “Collateral Agent”), which was retroactively effective as of February 14, 2014. Under the Revenue Sharing Agreement, the Company granted AND34 a perpetual predetermined share in the rights of the Company’s specified future revenues from patents (“Monetization Revenues”) owned by the Company (the “Patents”) in exchange for $
Any Monetization Revenues will first be applied
The Revenue Sharing Agreement contains many stipulations between the parties regarding the handling of various matters related to the monetization of the Patents including tax treatment. Following an Event of Default under the Revenue Sharing Agreement, the Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by suit or other appropriate proceeding, either for specific performance or the exercise of any power granted under the Revenue Sharing Agreement or ancillary documents including the Additional Notes.

Employee Related Agreements
In August 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Andrea, which was subsequently amended several times, most recently on July 31, 2022. The effective date of the original employment agreement was August 1, 2014 and it will expire on January 31, 2023, subject to renewal as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to his amended employment agreement, Mr. Andrea will receive an annual base salary of $
On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into an amended and restated change in control agreement with Corisa L. Guiffre, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company. The change in control agreement provides Ms. Guiffre with a severance benefit upon termination in connection with a change in control (as defined in the agreement). If Ms. Guiffre is terminated following a change in control, the Company will pay Ms. Guiffre a sum equal to three times Ms. Guiffre’s average annual compensation for the five preceding taxable years. All restrictions on any restricted stock will lapse immediately and incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights, if any, will become immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control of the Company. Additionally, life, medical, dental and disability coverage and payments will be continued for 36 full calendar months following the date of termination.
Legal Proceedings
In September 2016, the Company filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging patent infringement against Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and requesting monetary and injunctive relief (the “New York Litigation”). The New York Litigation was stayed pending final disposition of a parallel case that the Company filed against Apple with the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The ITC’s final decision finding that Apple did not violate the ITC’s statute was issued on March 22, 2018. Apple informed the New York judge of this final decision on May 30, 2018. The ITC’s final decision does not affect Andrea’s right to continue prosecuting the New York Litigation.
In January 2017, Apple filed four (4) petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) of the Company’s patents asserted in the New York Litigation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). The Company filed its Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response in two of these IPR proceedings on May 1, 2017. The PTO instituted the four IPR proceedings requested by Apple on July 24, 2017. The Company filed its Patent Owner’s Response in two of these IPR proceedings on November 7, 2017. Oral argument in these two IPR proceedings occurred on April 25, 2018. On July 12, 2018, the PTO issued its final written decisions in those two IPR proceedings, ruling that claims 6-9 of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,363,345 remain valid and enforceable after the PTO’s review. On September 13, 2018, Apple filed its Notice of Appeal of that ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”). Apple filed its Appeal Brief with the Federal Circuit on January 31, 2019. The Company filed its Response to Apple’s Appeal Brief on March 12, 2019. The Federal Circuit held an oral argument on October 1, 2019. On February 7, 2020, the Federal Circuit issued its decisions on Apple’s appeals. The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTO’s findings in one of the ongoing IPRs. In the other ongoing IPR, the Federal Circuit partly affirmed the PTO’s findings, but also partly vacated the PTO’s findings, and remanded the case back to the PTO for further proceedings. On remand of the ongoing IPR, on October 28, 2020, the PTO found that claims 6-9 of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,363,345 are invalid. The Company has appealed this decision to the Federal Circuit. The Company filed its Appeal Brief with the Federal Circuit on February 26, 2021. Apple filed its Response to the Company’s Appeal Brief on May 7, 2021. The Company filed its Reply to Apple’s Response to the Company’s Appeal Brief on September 11, 2021. Oral argument before the Federal Circuit occurred on December 8, 2021. On April 22, 2022, the Federal Circuit issued its decision on the Company’s appeal, which partially affirmed the PTO’s findings, but also partially vacated the PTO’s findings, and remanded the case back to the PTO for further proceedings. The parties are now awaiting the PTO’s further decision.
The New York Litigation is stayed pending the final outcome of Apple’s IPR proceedings against the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,363,345.
Andrea intends to vigorously prosecute the New York Litigation and the ongoing IPR proceedings.
Note 8. Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation
In August 2019, the Board adopted the Andrea Electronics Corporation 2019 Equity Compensation Plan (“2019 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the shareholders on October 24, 2019. The 2019 Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of

Note 9. Segment Information
Andrea follows the provisions of ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.” Reportable operating segments are determined based on Andrea’s management approach. The management approach, as defined by ASC 280, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. While Andrea’s results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in
segments: (i) Patent Monetization and (ii) Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products. Patent Monetization includes Monetization Revenues (as defined in our Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing Agreement). Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products primarily include products based on the use of some, or all, of the following technologies: Andrea Digital Super Directional Array microphone technology (“DSDA”), Andrea Direction Finding and Tracking Array microphone technology (“DFTA”), Andrea PureAudio noise filtering technology, and Andrea EchoStop, an advanced acoustic echo cancellation technology.
The following represents selected unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for Andrea’s segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We design, develop and manufacture state-of-the-art digital microphone products and noise reduction software that facilitate natural language and human/machine interfaces. Our technologies eliminate unwanted background noise to enable the optimum performance of various speech-based and audio applications. We are incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and have been engaged in the electronic communications industry since 1934. Our patented and patent-pending digital noise canceling technologies enable a speaker to be at a distance from the microphone (we refer to this capability as “far-field” microphone use), and free the speaker from having to use a close talking microphone. We believe that the strength of our intellectual property rights are important to the success of our business. We utilize patent and trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements with customers and partners, disclosure and invention assignment agreements with employees and consultants and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary information. As part of our Patent Monetization efforts, we license specific, custom designs to our customers, charging royalties at a fixed amount per product or a percentage of sales, and we intend to vigorously defend and monetize our intellectual property through licensing arrangements and, where necessary, enforcement actions against those entities using our patented solutions in their products.
Our Critical Accounting Policies
Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain information that is pertinent to management's discussion and analysis. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Management 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 values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different and/or future circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates are also included in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in notes to condensed consolidated interim financial statements are included elsewhere in this report. Management has discussed the development and selection of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s disclosures of these policies. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies or estimates to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report since being reported in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(a) |
The approximate $57,000 and $55,000 increases in revenues from automotive array microphone products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021, is the result of the timing of sales to integrators of public safety and mass transit vehicle solutions. |
(b) |
The approximate $135,000 and $387,000 increases in revenues from OEM array microphone products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily the result of increased sales to existing customers as well as new customers that are integrating our commercial product audio solutions. |
(c) |
The decreases of approximately $3,000 and $48,000 in customized digital products revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021, are related to the timing of purchases from an OEM customer for a customized digital product. |
(d) |
The decrease of approximately $19,000 in revenues of all other Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is the result of timing in revenues of USB products. The increase of approximately $63,000 in revenues of all other Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, is the result of increased revenues of USB products coupled with increased revenues of speaker and amplifier kits, a new addition to our overall audio solutions. |
Cost of Product Revenues
Cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 were 31% and 27%, respectively. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 were 30% and 26%, respectively. There was no cost of product revenues associated with the Patent Monetization revenues of $42 and $140 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, nor the cost of product revenues associated with the Patent Monetization revenues of $93 and $250, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increases in the cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues are primarily the result of the increased component costs because of supply chain issues as well as the product mix described in “Total Revenues” above.
Patent Monetization Expenses
Patent monetization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased 2% to $39,166 from $38,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Patent monetization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased 3% to $119,304 from $115,924 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These expenses are a result of our continuing efforts to pursue patent monetization as disclosed under Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings. The increases in Patent Monetization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is mainly attributable to the timing of legal services incurred to pursue patent monetization.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased 27% to $104,800 from $143,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased 19% to $346,633 from $428,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These expenses primarily relate to costs associated with the development of new products. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in research and development expenses reflects a 17% increase in our Patent Monetization efforts to $4,491, or 4% of total research and development expenses, and a 28% decrease in our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts to $100,309 or 96% of total research and development expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in research and development expenses reflects a 19% increase in our Patent Monetization efforts to $13,531, or 4% of total research and development expenses, and a 20% decrease in our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts to $333,102, or 96% of total research and development expenses. The increases in our Patent Monetization efforts represent intangible asset amortization expense while the decreases in our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts reflect decreases in compensation expenses related to projects completed in 2021. All of our research efforts primarily focused on the pursuit of commercializing a natural language-driven human/machine interface by developing optimal far-field microphone solutions for various voice-driven interfaces, incorporating Andrea’s digital super directional array microphone technology, and certain other related technologies such as noise suppression and stereo acoustic echo cancellation. We believe that continued research and development spending should benefit Andrea in the future.
General, Administrative and Selling Expenses
General, administrative and selling expenses increased approximately 1% to $262,761 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $260,062 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, general, administrative and selling expenses related to our Patent Monetization efforts were $26,745, or 10% of the total general, administrative and selling expenses, and general, administrative and selling expenses related to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology were $236,016, or 90% of total general, administrative and selling expenses. General, administrative and selling expenses increased approximately 3% to $805,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $784,895 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, general, administrative and selling expenses related to our Patent Monetization efforts were $64,680, or 8% of the total general, administrative and selling expenses, and general, administrative and selling expenses related to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology were $740,967, or 92% of total general, administrative and selling expenses. These small increases relate to changes in regular operating expenses.
Income from Employee Retention Tax Credits
Income from Employee Retention Tax Credits for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $140,137. There was no Income from Employee Retention Tax Credits for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The income from Employee Retention Tax Credits is the result of the recognition of refundable payroll tax credits established by the CARES Act to help businesses retain employees.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $28,037 compared to $18,541 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $66,534 compared to $54,682 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increases in this line item were attributable to increases in interest expense due to a higher amount of debt outstanding and higher overall interest rate.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was no income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1,268 compared to $585 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is a result of certain licensing revenues that are subject to withholding of income tax as mandated by the foreign jurisdiction in which the revenues are earned.
Net (loss) income
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $15,274 compared to a net income of $12,329 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1,456 compared to a net loss of $150,105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 principally reflects the factors described above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $145,444 compared with $148,349 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in our cash balance at September 30, 2022, was primarily the result of cash used in operating activities as further described below.
Our working capital balance at September 30, 2022, was $254,992 compared to working capital of $14,940 at December 31, 2021. The increase in working capital reflects a decrease in total current assets of $44,790 and a decrease in total current liabilities of $284,842. The decrease in total current assets reflects a decrease in cash of $2,905, an increase in accounts receivable of $71,680, a decrease in inventories of $49,730, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $63,835. The decrease in total current liabilities reflects a decrease in trade accounts payable and other current liabilities of $287,035 offset in part by an increase in current portion of long term debt of $2,193.
The decrease in cash of $2,905 reflects $137,426 of net cash used in operating activities, $10,479 of net cash used in investing activities and $145,000 of net cash provided by financing activities.
The cash used in operating activities of $137,426 excluding non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was attributable to a $72,948 increase in accounts receivable, a $58,775 decrease in inventories, a $63,835 decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $315,841 decrease in trade accounts payable and other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities payable. The changes in accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets and trade accounts payable and other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities payable primarily reflect differences in the timing related to both the payments for and the acquisition of inventory as well as for other services in connection with ongoing efforts related to Andrea’s various product lines including continuing efforts to pursue patent monetization.
The cash used in investing activities of $10,479 reflects an increase in patents and trademarks of $676 and purchases of property and equipment of $9,803. The increase in patents and trademarks reflects capital expenditures associated with our intellectual property. The increase in property and equipment is associated with the purchases of computer and test equipment.
The cash provided by financing activities of $145,000 reflects the proceeds from long-term notes.
We plan to improve our cash flows by aggressively pursuing monetization of our patents related to our Andrea DSP Microphone Audio Software, increasing the sales of our Andrea DSP Microphone Audio Software Products through the introduction of new products as well as our increased sales and marketing efforts. As of November 8, 2022, Andrea had approximately $130,000 of cash deposits. For discussion regarding management’s evaluation of our ability to meet our obligations as they come due in coming months, see the section titled “Liquidity” in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. We cannot provide assurances that demand will continue for any of our products, including future products related to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies, or, that if such demand does exist, that we will be able to obtain the necessary working capital to increase production and provide marketing resources to meet such demand on favorable terms, or at all.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Andrea’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Andrea’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act with the SEC (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to Andrea’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Andrea’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The “Legal Proceedings” section of Note 7. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors
Our business may be adversely affected by interruptions in the global supply chain.
The global economy, including the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic (and new variants of COVID-19), continues to evolve and be impacted by disruptions and delays in the supply chain. In 2021 and 2022, we experienced an increase in component costs due to supply chain issues related to COVID-19 as well as general economic conditions and global issues such as the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, which may continue into the future with additional ramifications upon our business. In particular, there has been an increased demand for electronic components as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international events, which has and may continue to result in component shortages and increased costs, including longer lead times to procure components.
The extent to which the global economy and supply chain may further affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time, such as the continuing duration of COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions. Future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business may be adversely affected if there is a default on the SBA Loan.
The Company entered into the SBA Loan pursuant to which the Company received loan proceeds of $150,000. The SBA Loan was made under, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, which was a program expanded for COVID-19 relief under the CARES Act and is administered by the SBA. The term of the SBA Loan is thirty (30) years with a maturity date of July 13, 2050 and the annual interest rate of the SBA Loan is a fixed rate of 3.75%.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, the use of loan proceeds for the SBA Loan is limited to alleviating economic injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company used the proceeds of the SBA Loan for such purpose.
The Company depends on component and product manufacturing and logistical services provided by third parties, many of whom are located outside of the United States.
Substantially all of the Company’s components and products are manufactured in whole or in part by a few third-party manufacturers. Many of these manufacturers are located outside of the United States. The Company has also outsourced much of its transportation and logistics management. While these arrangements may lower operating costs, they also reduce the Company’s direct control over production and distribution. It is uncertain what effect such diminished control will have on the quality or quantity of products or the Company’s flexibility to respond to changing conditions. If manufacturing or logistics in these locations is disrupted for any reason, including but not limited to, natural disasters, information technology system failures, military actions (such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine) or economic (including supply chain issues), business, labor, environmental, public health (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or political issues, the Company’s consolidated financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuation, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and you should not rely on them as indications of our future performance.
Our results of operations have historically been and are subject to continued substantial annual and quarterly fluctuations. The causes of these fluctuations include, among other things:
– the volume of sales of our products under our collaborative marketing arrangements;
– the cost of development of our products;
– the mix of products we sell;
– the mix of distribution channels we use;
– the timing of our new product releases and those of our competitors;
– fluctuations in the computer and communications hardware and software marketplace; and
– general economic conditions.
We cannot assure that the level of revenues and gross profit, if any, that we achieve in any particular fiscal period will not be significantly lower than in other fiscal periods. Our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $607,508 compared to $448,430 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $15,274, or $0.00 loss per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net income of $12,329, or $0.00 income per share on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,710,231 compared to $1,265,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,456, or $0.00 income per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $150,105, or $0.00 loss per share on a basic and diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We continue to explore opportunities to grow sales in other business areas and vigorously defend and monetize our intellectual property. However, we cannot predict whether such opportunities and defense of our intellectual property will be successful.
Shares Eligible For Future Sale May Have An Adverse Effect On Market Price and Andrea Shareholders May Experience Substantial Dilution.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could have the effect of depressing the prevailing market price of our common stock. Of the 200,000,000 shares of common stock presently authorized, 68,104,957 were outstanding as of November 8, 2022. The number of shares outstanding does not include an aggregate of 20,454,812 shares of common stock that are issuable. This number of issuable common shares is equal to approximately 30% of the 68,104,957 outstanding shares. These issuable common shares are comprised of: (a) 6,301,500 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding awards granted under our 2006 Stock Plan; (b) 10,000,000 shares reserved for future grants under our 2019 Plan; (c) 524,736 shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock; and (d) 3,628,576 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.
In addition to the risk factors set forth above and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
