The Company provides unique, highly customized and configured solutions which drive innovation across a wide range of traditional and emerging wireless technologies. The consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 included the accounts of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., doing business as, and operating under the trade name Noise Com, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, Wireless Telecommunications Ltd., CommAgility Limited and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. Noise Com, Inc., Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, CommAgility Limited Ltd., and Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. are hereinafter referred to as “Noisecom”, “Boonton”, “Microlab”, “CommAgility” and “Holzworth”, respectively. As more fully described in Note 3, on March 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Microlab to RF Industries, Ltd. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of Microlab are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Microlab as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Our consolidated financial statements from continuing operations include the accounts of Noisecom, Boonton, Holzworth, and CommAgility and have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest annual report (Form 10-K). The Company’s fiscal periods are based on the calendar year. Except as otherwise specified, references to “third quarter(s)” or “three months” indicate the Company’s fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, and references to “year-end” indicate the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Consolidated Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to fairly present the Company’s results for the interim periods being presented. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Specific reference is made to that report since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with US GAAP have been reduced for interim periods in accordance with SEC rules. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. We base our assumptions, judgements and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates, and make changes as deemed necessary. The COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the impact of global inflation and supply chain disruption have negatively impacted regional and global economies and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Although these disruptions did not impact our estimates and judgements as of the date of this report, it is reasonably possible that our accounting estimates and judgements may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available or is obtained. Furthermore, actual results could differ materially from our estimates as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under different assumptions or conditions. For further information about our critical accounting estimates, see the discussion in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Concentration Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Credit risk is mitigated to a lesser extent through collateral such as letters of credit, bank guarantees or payment terms like cash in advance. One customer accounted for 16.6% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022. A different customer accounted for 10.5% of consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. One customer accounted for 10.8% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Two customers accounted for 15.9% and 10.4% of consolidated revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Two customers accounted for 23.6% and 10.7%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of consolidated accounts receivable. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Contingent Consideration Under the terms of the Holzworth Share Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to pay additional purchase price in the form of an earnout based on Holzworth’s financial results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the amount due for the Holzworth earnout was $1.8 million and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Segments The Company evaluates its financial reporting in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. As of March 1, 2022, the Company determined that the chief operating decision maker makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on segment operating profit. See Note 12.

Consolidated Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to fairly present the Company’s results for the interim periods being presented.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
