1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Description

Wrap Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”), is a publicly traded company with our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “WRAP”. The Company is a developer and supplier of public safety products and training services for law enforcement and security personnel. The Company’s primary product is the BolaWrap® remote restraint device. The principal markets for the Company’s proprietary products and services are in North and South America, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, contained in the Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Wrap Reality, Inc. formed in December 2020 that sells a virtual reality (“VR”) training system primarily targeting law enforcement agencies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this subsidiary after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions (e.g., stock-based compensation valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory and intangible assets, warranty reserve, accrued expense and recognition and measurement of contingencies) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The Company’s losses for the periods presented cause the inclusion of potential Common Stock instruments outstanding to be antidilutive. Stock options and restricted stock units exercisable or issuable for a total of 5,127,830 and 5,350,111 shares of Common Stock were outstanding at March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented as their inclusion would be antidilutive due to losses incurred by the Company.

Recent Issued Accounting Guidance

The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements will be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of operations.

2. REVENUE AND PRODUCT COSTS

Revenue consists of product revenue and other revenue. Product sales include BolaWrap products and accessories. Other revenue includes VR revenues, service, training and shipping revenues.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company generally has an unconditional right to consideration when customers are invoiced, and a receivable is recorded. A contract asset is recognized when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or a contract liability (deferred revenue) when revenue will be recognized subsequent to invoicing. The Company may receive consideration, per terms of a contract, from customers prior to transferring goods to the customer. The Company records customer deposits as a contract liability. Additionally, the Company may receive payments, most typically for service and warranty contracts, at the onset of the contract and before the services have been performed. In such instances, a deferred revenue liability is recorded. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after all revenue recognition criteria are met. The table below details the activity in our contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

	Customer		Deferred
	Deposits		Revenue
Balance at January 1, 2023	$	-	$	333
Additions, net		1		30
Transfer to revenue		-		(72	)
Balance at March 31, 2023	$	1	$	291
Current portion	$	1	$	169
Long-term portion	$	-	$	122

At March 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred revenue of $291 consisted of $175 related to VR and $10 related to training and $106 related to BolaWrap extended warranties and services. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred revenue of $333 consisted of $198 related to VR, $11 related to training and $124 related to BolaWrap extended warranties and services.

The Company recognizes an asset if there are incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer such as commissions. These costs are ascribed to or allocated to the underlying performance obligations in the contract.

Estimated costs for the Company’s standard warranty, generally one-year, are charged to cost of products sold when revenue is recorded for the related product. Royalties are also charged to cost of products sold.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis or disclosed at fair value, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair values. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about how fair value is determined. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting entity. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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 related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

The Company’s cash equivalent Money Market Funds and short-term investments consisting of U.S. Treasury bill securities and Certificate of Deposits are classified as Level I because they are valued using quoted market prices.

The following table shows the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, Money Market Funds and short-term investments by significant investment category as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

	As of March 31, 2023
	Adjusted		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market

Certificate of Deposits		4,000		-		-		4,000
Total Financial Assets	$	16,853	$	-	$	-	$	16,953

Unrealized gains or losses resulting from our short-term investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss as they are classified as available for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, a $0 and $(23) was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), respectively.

Our financial instruments also include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and business acquisition liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their fair values approximate their carrying values on the balance sheet.

Expected life of options - years		0			1.39
Weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	0		$	1.72

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of awards. The Company’s estimated volatility was based on an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price. The Company records forfeitures as they are incurred.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. The Company calculates the expected life of the options using the Simplified Method for the employee stock options as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data.

The Company used the Monte Carlo Simulation Model to value at the grant date the aggregate of 1,614,230 market condition performance options granted in April 2022 to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo Simulation were stock price on date of grant of $2.89, contract term of 10 years, expected volatility of 49% and risk-free interest rate of 2.9%. Vesting is based on sustained market capitalization of $250 million, $500 million and $1 billion and resulted in implied service periods ranging from approximately 4 to 7 years.

Stock option expense was $313 and $737 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Overview

We are a global public safety technology and services company that delivers safe and effective policing solutions to law enforcement and security personnel worldwide. We are leading the movement for safer outcomes by equipping law enforcement with safe, non-pain compliance tools and immersive training for the modern world. We began sales of our first public safety product, the BolaWrap 100 remote restraint device, in late 2018. In late 2020 we added a new solution to our public safety technologies, which is our virtual reality (“VR”) training platform – Wrap Reality. Wrap Reality is now sold to law enforcement agencies for simulation training as well as corrections departments for the societal reentry scenarios. In Q1 2022 we delivered a new generation product, the BolaWrap 150. The BolaWrap 150 is electronically deployed and is more robust, smaller, lighter and simpler to deploy than the BolaWrap 100 that has been phased out.

Our target market for our solutions includes approximately 900,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in over 18,000 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the US and over 12 million police officers in more than 100 countries. Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in other domestic markets, such as military and private security. Our international focus is on countries with the largest police forces. According to 360iResearch, a market research consulting firm, our non-lethal products are part of a global market segment expected to grow to $16.1 billion by 2027.

We focus our efforts on the following products and services:

BolaWrap Remote Restraint Device – is a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges a seven and half-foot Kevlar tether to entangle an individual at a range of 10-25 feet. BolaWrap assists law enforcement to safely and effectively control encounters early in the use of force continuum without resorting to painful force options.

Wrap Reality – is a law enforcement 3D training system employing immersive computer graphics VR with proprietary software-enabled content. It allows up to two participants to enter a simulated training environment simultaneously, and customized weapons controllers enable trainees to engage in strategic decision making along the force continuum. Wrap Reality has 38 scenarios for law enforcement and corrections and 25 scenarios at this time for societal reentry. Wrap Reality is one of the most robust 3D Virtual Reality solutions on the market for law enforcement and societal reentry today.

In addition to the US law enforcement market, we have shipped our restraint products to 59 countries. We have established an active distributor network representing 50 states and one dealer representing the US territory of Puerto Rico. We have distribution agreements with 49 international distributors covering 54 countries. We focus significant sales, training and business development efforts to support our distribution network in addition to our internal sales team.

We focus significant resources on research and development innovations and continue to enhance our products and plan to introduce new products. We believe we have established a strong brand and market presence globally and have established significant competitive advantages in our markets.

Management Changes

Business Outlook and Challenges

We believe our Company's products and solutions are gaining global recognition and awareness through active use across multiple agencies and continued acceptance worldwide as well as various marketing channels such as demos, social media, trade shows, and media exposure, among others. In part, this recognition and awareness can be attributed to positive feedback from law enforcement agencies and the successful deployment of our products. As a result, our brand, Wrap, is becoming increasingly recognized on a global scale as a leader in remote restraint and non-lethal solutions.

In addition, we are focused on aggressive marketing and public relations efforts. We are confident in the potential market opportunities for our remote restraint and virtual reality solutions in the law enforcement and security sectors worldwide. These opportunities are driven by the increasing demand for less-lethal policing.

In the law enforcement sector, our BolaWrap product has been successfully deployed in the field, as reported by many agencies. BolaWrap is now in use by almost 1,000 US law enforcement agencies and in 59 countries. Due to its safe remote restraint capabilities, many agencies do not deem its usage a categorical reportable use of force and rather place it underneath early use of force such as handcuffs. We train law enforcement agencies deploy BolaWrap when verbal commands breakdown but long before there is justifiable escalation to pain inducing tools such as: pepper spray, pepper ball, batons, bean bags, tasers or Conducted Electrical Weapons (CEW’s) or firearms.

Some agencies voluntarily report usage to Wrap but many do not. In the usage reports we have been provided; officers have reported successful outcomes in 83% of the use cases. This percentage is higher than what is often seen with less lethal tools. From the information we have been provided, the most common BolaWrap use case is for individuals with behavioral health issues, and the second most common BolaWrap use case is during domestic violence calls. Twenty-six percent of the reported persons who are wrapped with the BolaWrap are thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

There are many reasons why we may not receive reports on all the use of the BolaWrap, including, when uses of BolaWrap are considered evidence in ongoing criminal cases, are controlled by local policy or regulation, or require officer and union and other released to be shared with us. However, many agencies have shared bodycam footage of successful field deployments with us, which we may use in our training and education efforts. We believe that as the reports of BolaWrap's effectiveness in de-escalation continue to increase, it will contribute to our future revenue growth.

Management anticipates that our portfolio of safe, remote restraint products and training services has a strong and expanding pipeline of market opportunities in the law enforcement, military, corrections, and homeland security sectors both domestically and internationally. With the increasing demand for more humane and safer policing practices, we expect a continued surge in our global business. Currently, we are exploring major international business prospects while simultaneously seeking to establish relationships with large police agencies in the US. However, we acknowledge that it is challenging to predict the exact timeline for closing these deals, or whether they will ultimately materialize.

As part of our efforts to expand our sales and distribution operations, we provide a comprehensive training program for law enforcement officers and trainers in using the BolaWrap. This training equips them with knowledge about the appropriate use and limitations of BolaWrap in tandem with modern policing techniques for de-escalation of encounters. We now focus on also teaching when and why BolaWrap should be used, including the specific area of success (i.e., after verbal commands break down and before the law enforcement officer is ready to escalate to pain compliance tools. Management believes that law enforcement trainers and officers who have been trained to use our products, or have witnessed demonstrations, are more inclined to support the acquisition and deployment of our products by their respective departments to drive successful outcomes. As of March 31, 2023, over 1,390 agencies have received BolaWrap training with over 4,660 training officers at those agencies certified as BolaWrap instructors and qualified to train the rest of their departments, representing a 31% increase in agencies and a 26% increase in trained officers as compared to March 31, 2022.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reduced by $1.489 million or 24% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. While we made significant strides in reducing quarterly operating expenses in 2022, we believe it is imperative to continue to further reduce operating expenses to align with sales forecasts, while still allowing room for continued growth of revenue. As a result, in April, we implemented several additional cost reduction measures that are expected to lower certain operating expenses and allow the Company to transition to a just-in-time production model that aligns with sales forecasts. Management believes that by taking these measures, the Company will be on an accelerated path to sustained profitability.

These changes are expected to generate a minimum quarterly reduction in operating expenses of $1.5 million, or $6 million on an annual basis. However, the Company does anticipate incurring additional one-time operating expenses during the second quarter of 2023 due to severance charges associated with the changes in management.

Management is confident that implementing these strategic changes will lead to substantial sales growth and put us on a path towards sustainable profitability. Although geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic challenges have affected our quarterly results in the past and may in the future, we believe our firm is uniquely positioned to provide lifesaving technologies and training that enable law enforcement officers worldwide to conduct safe and effective encounters while reducing the use of force. If departments follow our newly released Use of Force Guarantee requirements, we are confident enough to offer that in 12 months we would buy their BolaWrap devices back if they do not reduce their reportable use of force by 10%. With an increasing addressable market, Wrap offers a unique value proposition. Our improved pricing strategy, coupled with reduced operating expenses and our growing sales outlook, is expected to help reduce losses and improve cash flow in the future.

Looking ahead to the coming years, we plan to increase the number of product demonstrations and training sessions, particularly in international markets. Our new focus on the when and why BolaWrap is used is already showing improved results. This is a departure of the hardware product only approach of the past. Our sales of the BolaWrap 150 and Wrap Reality are expected to continue to rise, aided by our ongoing cost savings and cost control measures, which should lead to an overall reduction in cash burn.

Due to the recent changes in leadership, Wrap will be re-evaluating its previously communicated outlook and guidance for fiscal year 2023. The Board recognizes the importance of providing new leadership with sufficient time to conduct an independent assessment of Wrap's existing pipeline, near-term opportunities, and resource requirements.

At March 31, 2023 we had backlog of approximately $21 thousand expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, we had deferred revenue of $291 thousand expected to be recognized generally over the next five years. Our deferred revenue mostly is from Wrap Reality subscription and other revenue. We expect our deferred revenue to grow in future years due to the SaaS business model on Wrap Reality. Distributor and customer orders for future deliveries are generally subject to modification, rescheduling or in some instances, cancellation, in the normal course of business.

Since inception, we have generated significant losses from operations and anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses from operations for the foreseeable future. We believe that we have adequate financial resources to sustain our operations for the next year. We reduced our net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023 by more than $1.401 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.783 million less than cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This improvement was a result of our strategic roadmap as well as our cost control measures implemented in Q2, Q3 and Q4 of our last fiscal year, and Q1 of this fiscal year.

We expect that we will continue to innovate new applications for our public safety technology, open new geographies, develop new products and technologies to meet diverse customer requirements and identify and develop new markets for our products.

We believe that our sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by the timing of new orders and associated budgeting from our customer. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our results were significantly adversely affected by the shift to our BolaWrap 150 product and the discontinuation of the BolaWrap 100 production line, along with the limited ability to demonstrate and train customers in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly internationally.

Supply chain disruptions have also affected our operations and could negatively impact our ability to source materials, manufacture and distribute products. Moreover, financial markets are experiencing significant volatility, which could potentially affect our ability to enter into or modify favorable terms and conditions regarding equity and debt financing activities. Nevertheless, we currently have $16 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2023, which we believe provides sufficient capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months and absorb the potential near-term impacts of the pandemic and other economic uncertainty. However, liquidity constraints and access to capital markets could still negatively affect our liquidity and require changes to our investment strategy.

We acknowledge that the work carried out by our employees and associates is critical and essential, as per various published standards. We have taken several measures to ensure the safety and security of our employees, while also ensuring the availability and functionality of our critical infrastructure. In compliance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and local authorities, we have implemented COVID-19 safety measures in the workplace. Nevertheless, we recognize that events related to the COVID-19 pandemic or other global pandemics could potentially result in lost or delayed revenue for our Company. These events include restrictions on our suppliers' ability to meet delivery requirements and commitments, employees' inability to perform their work due to illness caused by a pandemic or local, state, or federal mandates requiring employees to stay home. Delays in carriers' ability to deliver our products to customers, unforeseen deviations from customers or foreign governments restricting the ability to conduct business, and customers' inability to pay us on a timely basis, if at all, could also limit our revenue.

Our Company may be positively or negatively impacted by continued social unrest, protests against racial inequality, and movements like "Defund the Police." Such unrest may be further fueled by misleading information or negative publicity about our solutions. We believe our solutions are actually the answer to reducing use of force and driving safer outcomes for officers and the citizens they interact with each day. Although the intensity of these events may have subsided, some may still indirectly or directly influence police agency budgets and the funding available to current and potential customers. In addition, participants in these events may attempt to create the impression that our solutions are contributing to the perceived problems, potentially harming our business and operations, including our revenues, earnings, and cash flows from operations.

Changes in our management and other critical personnel have the potential to positively or negatively affect our business. Such disruptions could have an adverse impact on our operations, programs, growth, financial condition, or results of operations. On the other hand, improvements in our operations, operating expenses, and go-to-market approaches could positively influence the success of our business in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, on an on-going basis, including those estimates related to recognition and measurement of contingencies and accrued expense. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our provision for income taxes. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, tax contingencies, unrecognized tax benefits, and any required valuation allowance, including taking into consideration the probability of the tax contingencies being incurred. Management assesses this probability based upon information provided by its tax advisers, its legal advisers and similar tax cases. If later our assessment of the probability of these tax contingencies changes, our accrual for such tax uncertainties may increase or decrease. Our effective tax rate for annual and interim reporting periods could be impacted if uncertain tax positions that are not recognized are settled at an amount which differs from our estimates.

Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include share-based compensation and contingencies and areas such as revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory and intangible assets, estimates of product line exit costs, warranty liabilities and impairments.

Revenue Recognition. We sell our products to customers including law enforcement agencies, domestic distributors and international distributors and revenue from such transactions is recognized in the periods that products are shipped (free on board (“FOB”) shipping point) or received by customers (FOB destination), when the fee is fixed or determinable and when collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured. We identify customer performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognize revenue as we satisfy the performance obligations. Our primary performance obligations are products/accessories and VR software licensing or sale. Our customers do not have the right to return product unless the product is found to be defective.

Share-Based Compensation. We follow the fair value recognition provisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 for share-based transactions with non-employees. Share-based compensation expense recognized includes stock option and restricted stock unit compensation expense. The grant date fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The grant date is the date at which an employer and employee or non-employee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs including the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, the term that the stock options are expected to be outstanding, the implied stock volatilities of several publicly traded peers over the expected term of stock options, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units is based upon the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. We determine the amount of share-based compensation expense based on awards that we ultimately expect to vest and account for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of share-based compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting term.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Our products are sold to customers in many different markets and geographic locations. We estimate our bad debt reserve on a case-by-case basis and the aging of accounts due to a limited number of customers mostly government agencies or well-established distributors. We base these estimates on many factors including customer credit worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. Our judgments and estimates regarding collectability of accounts receivable have an impact on our financial statements.

Valuation of Inventory. Our inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products. We must periodically make judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of our inventory. The carrying value of our inventory is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit from our inventory is less than carrying value.

Valuation of Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consisted of (a) capitalized legal fees and filing expense related to obtaining patents and trademarks, (b) customer agreements, tradenames, software, non-solicitation and non-compete agreements acquired in business combinations and valued at fair value at the acquisition date, and (c) the purchase cost of indefinite-lived website domains. We must make judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of intangible assets. The carrying values of such assets are periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit to be derived from an individual intangible asset is less than carrying value. This generally could occur when certain assets are no longer consistent with our business strategy and whose expected future value has decreased.

Accrued Expense. We establish a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. This reserve requires us to make estimates regarding the amount and costs of warranty repairs we expect to make over a period of time. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs, and anticipated rates of warranty claims. We have very limited history to make such estimates and warranty estimates have an impact on our financial statements. Warranty expense is recorded in cost of revenues. We evaluate the adequacy of this reserve each reporting period.

We use the recognition criteria of FASB ASC Topic 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to estimate the amount of bonuses when it becomes probable a bonus liability will be incurred and we recognize expense ratably over the service period. We accrue bonus expense each quarter based on estimated year-end results, and then adjust the actual in the fourth quarter based on our final results compared to targets.

Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. Other than the planned production change requiring a new estimate of exit expense, there were no significant changes or modification of our critical accounting policies and estimates involving management valuation adjustments affecting our results for the period ended March 31, 2023. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New pronouncements issued for future implementation are discussed in Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our financial statements.

Segment and Related Information

The Company operates as a single segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who manages operations for purposes of allocating resources. Refer to Note 13. Major Customers and Related Information, in our financial statements for further discussion.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include (i) selling, general and administrative expense, (ii) research and development expense, and in the most recent fiscal quarter, (iii) product line exit expense. Research and development expense is comprised of the costs incurred in performing research and development activities and developing production on our behalf, including compensation and consulting, design and prototype costs, contract services, patent costs and other outside expense. The scope and magnitude of our future research and development expense is difficult to predict at this time and will depend on elections made regarding research projects, staffing levels and outside consulting and contract costs. The future level of selling, general and administrative expense will be dependent on staffing levels, elections regarding expenditures on sales, marketing and customer training, the use of outside resources, public company and regulatory expense, and other factors, some of which are outside of our control.

We expect our operating costs will remain at comparable current levels in the near term. We may also incur additional non-cash share-based compensation costs depending on future option and restricted stock unit grants that are impacted by stock prices and other valuation factors. Historical expenditures are not indicative of future expenditures.

Revenue

We reported net revenue of $711 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a 56% decrease over the prior year. International revenues decreased from $405 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We believe that our sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by the timing of new orders and associated budgeting from our customer. We also incurred discounts of $22 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of promotional programs designed to encourage customers to upgrade to the BolaWrap 150. Gross sales were $733 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, before such discounts. The discounts compares to normal business discounts of $388 thousand in the comparable quarter of the prior year. We expect a decline to minimal discounts in 2023 as we have phased out our promotional upgrade offer.

International revenues generally consist of larger orders with the end user being large, centralized government agencies. These orders continue to be lumpy and difficult to predict as to both timing and amount. International orders anticipated in the second quarter of 2022 were delayed significantly due to the changeover from the BolaWrap 100 but those orders for BolaWrap 150 are anticipated in future quarters. Some key international customers had approved the BolaWrap 100 and even purchased just prior to our announcement of the BolaWrap 150 a significant number of devices and cartridges. Because of the large size of these agencies, they wanted to grow on a single device and not multiple devices, but Wrap management made the decision to shut down the BolaWrap 100 product line for new devices in 2021. We believe that revenue during the fiscal year 2023 will increase overall compared to the revenue recorded during 2022 due to growth of domestic sales and anticipated international orders from a robust pipeline, although no assurances can be given. We believe based on pipeline that these larger international deals are more likely to book and ship in the latter half of 2023.

We incurred product promotional costs of $54 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2023, related primarily to BolaWrap 150 demonstration products and the cost of training products and accessories delivered to law enforcement agencies that were expensed as marketing costs. We are responding to increased demand for training as a result of expanded product and brand awareness and increased successful field use by agencies but due to awareness expect reductions in product promotional costs from the prior year.

We had $291 thousand of deferred revenue at March 31, 2023, of which $175 thousand related to VR, $10 thousand was related to training and $106 thousand related to BolaWrap extended warranties and services. As we potentially secure increased bookings for Wrap Reality, as well as BolaWrap extended warranties, we expect our deferred revenue to grow in future quarters.

At March 31, 2023, we had backlog of $21 thousand expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2023. Distributor and customer orders for future deliveries are generally subject to modification, rescheduling or in some instance’s cancellation in the normal course of business.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $352 thousand, or a gross margin of 50%. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $667 thousand resulting in a gross margin of 42%. The Fiscal 2022 gross profit represented an 87% increase over prior year as a result of rolling out the BolaWrap 150 product, selling price adjustments implemented in September of 2022, and a reduction of promotional pricing, offset by some supply chain issues and inventory adjustments.

Table of Contents

As our revenue history is limited, historical margins may not accurately reflect future margins. However, we expect higher margins with the production of the BolaWrap 150 compared to previous production due to design changes and improved pricing. Our margins are also subject to variations based on the sales channels and product mix through which our products are sold. At present, our cassettes have lower margins than BolaWrap devices. As we scale cassette production, we will look to reduce our costs and drive higher cassette margins. Cassettes were a total of 17% of our overall revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and will continue to grow as a recurring revenue base as more BolaWrap devices are in the field and the usage of BolaWrap increases due to the need of officers to de-escalate earlier to prevent injuries and use of higher levels of force.

We regularly introduce updates and revisions to our products, which may include changes to raw materials and components, and can impact our product costs. Given our limited experience with warranty costs, our estimated future warranty expenses may affect our gross margins.

Our global supply chain has experienced notable component shortages, extended lead times, cost fluctuations, and logistical constraints, all of which have affected our product costs. Although we anticipate these supply chain obstacles to ease in 2023, we acknowledge that future supplier shortages, quality problems, and logistics delays could impact our production schedules and have a material negative impact on our financial condition, results of operation, and cash flows.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased significantly, by $1.1 million, when compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to cost containment efforts.

Share-based compensation costs allocated to SG&A decreased to $562 thousand compared to $891 million for the comparable prior quarter. This $329 thousand decrease resulted primarily from changes in management, one-time costs in the prior year period, and changes in the stock price.

Salaries and burden costs of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a decrease of $122 thousand, or a 8% decrease, due to reduced headcount and one-time recruiting expenses. During three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to same period during the prior year, we reduced professional fees by $149 thousand, and reduced consulting and contract services fees by $153 thousand. We expect expenditures for SG&A expenses in 2023 to remain in line with 2022 despite expected revenue growth.

Advertising and promotion costs were $163 thousand for during the three months ended March 31, 2023, or a decrease of $164 thousand as compared to $327 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The changes in advertising costs were related to reductions in consultants and other cost containment efforts.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense decreased by $423 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. We incurred a $71 thousand period over period decrease in share-based compensation expense allocated to research and development expense as a result of cost containment efforts and changes in personnel. Outside consulting costs decreased by $107 thousand and prototype related costs decreased by $168 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to reduced costs related to finalizing the BolaWrap 150 product.

Operating Loss

Loss from operations of $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a reduction of $1.2 million compared to loss from operations of $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting increased margin and the focus on reducing operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million, short-term investments of $6.5 million, positive working capital of $20.2 million and had sustained cumulative losses attributable to stockholders of $71.4 million. We believe that our cash on hand and short-term investments will sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Our primary source of liquidity to date has been funding from our stockholders from the sale of equity securities and the exercise of derivative securities, consisting of options and warrants. We expect our primary source of future liquidity will be from the sale of products, exercise of stock options and warrants and from future equity or debt financings.

Capital Requirements

Due in part to the volatility caused by COVID-19, we do not have a high degree of confidence in our estimates for our future liquidity requirements or future capital needs, which will depend on, among other things, capital required to introduce new products and the operational staffing and support requirements, as well as the timing and amount of future revenue and product costs. We anticipate that demands for operating and working capital may grow depending on decisions on staffing, development, production, marketing, training and other functions and based on other factors outside of our control. We believe we have sufficient capital to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Although the Company has adequate capital to sustain its operations during the next twelve months, management will continue to evaluate attractive sources of additional capital.

Our future capital requirements, cash flows and results of operations could be affected by, and will depend on, many factors, some of which are currently unknown to us, including, among other things:

	●	The impact and effects of the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other potential pandemics or contagious diseases or fear of such outbreaks;

	●	Decisions regarding staffing, development, production, marketing and other functions;

	●	The timing and extent of market acceptance of our products;

	●	Costs, timing and outcome of planned production and required customer and regulatory compliance of our products;

	●	Costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting our patent applications and defending any future intellectual property-related claims;

	●	Costs and timing of additional product development;

	●	Costs, timing and outcome of any future warranty claims or litigation against us associated with any of our products;

	●	Ability to collect accounts receivable; and

	●	Timing and costs associated with any new financing.

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources including from exercise of outstanding warrants and options include:

	●	Volatility in the capital markets; and

	●	Market price and trading volume of our Common Stock.

Effects of Inflation

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, we had increased in labor and materials due to inflation. We believe in 2023 that low unemployment and higher salaries will create higher payroll costs and increased operating expenses in the business. We have seen increases from multiple suppliers for materials as well as labor.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended March 31, 2023, or subsequently thereto, that we believe are of potential significance to our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2023, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future period are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

Other Legal Information

We may become subject to other legal proceedings, as well as demands and claims that arise in the normal course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, breach of contract, employment law violations, and other matters and matters involving requests for information from us or our customers under federal or state law. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted to include the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. At March 31, 2023, we had no provision for liability under existing litigation.

An unfavorable outcome on any litigation matters could require payment of substantial damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement claims, could require us to pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products. As a result, a settlement of, or an unfavorable outcome on, any of the matters referenced above or other litigation matters, or legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
