The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that discuss future events or expectations, projections of results of operations or financial condition, trends in our business, business prospects and strategies and other "forward-looking" information. In some cases, you can identify "forward-looking statements" by words like "may," "will," "should," "expects," These statements may relate to, among other things, our expectations regarding for our financial results, revenue, operating expenses and other financial measures in future periods, and the adequacy of our sources of liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other liquidity requirements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in documents and reports we have filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission . Some additional factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
? our plans to obtain any requisite outside funding for our current and
proposed operations and potential acquisition and expansion efforts;
? the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other health epidemic, on
our business, and our clientele, together with the resulting disruptions
to supply chains, the labor markets, or the global economy as a whole;
? the concentration of our customers and vendors and the potential effect of
the loss of a significant customer or vendor;
? debt obligations of the Company arising from our line of credit from time
to time or otherwise; ? our ability to integrate the business operations of businesses that we acquire from time to time; ? our prior history of operating losses; ? our ability to compete with companies producing similar products and services; ? the scope of protection we are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our products and technology;
? the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital
requirements and needs for additional financing;
? general economic conditions, including effects of inflation, market
volatility, interest rate increases, and effects of geopolitical events
domestically and abroad; ? our ability to develop and maintain our corporate infrastructure, including our internal controls; ? our ability to develop innovative new products; and ? our financial performance.
Our financial statements are stated inUnited States Dollars ("$") and are prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP. In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed inUnited States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock. Overview We are a provider and integrator of mobility and wireless systems for business organizations. We design, deploy and support mobile computing systems that enable customers to access employers' data networks at various locations (i.e. the retail selling floor, nurse workstations, warehouse and distribution centers or on the road deliveries via enterprise-grade handheld computers, printers, tablets, and smart phones). We also integrate data capture equipment including bar code scanners and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers.
In
16 The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which fluctuate and are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of the new variants of the virus domestically or abroad, the effectiveness of vaccines and vaccination rates, and additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or we or our customers, may implement, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption and reduced operations. Certain of our customers, particularly those in the retail sector, have at times been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and the pandemic has contributed to disruptions in supply chains and labor shortages across industries, and we have experienced supplier shipment delays due to a supply chain and logistic challenges resulting in delays in product revenue recognition. Our results of operations during the first half of 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in the remainder of 2022 in light of the uncertainties surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing issues with logistics and supply chain disruptions through the date of this report. In addition, general economic uncertainty and volatility arising from geopolitical events and concerns, inflation, rises in energy prices, changes in interest rates and general declines in capital spending in the information technology sector (and the economy in general) make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of our customers and the markets we serve and whether our results of operations will be materially impacted.
Components of Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of hardware, software, consumables and professional services (including hardware and software maintenance) to our clients, net of sales taxes.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Cost of Sales, Sales and Marketing Expenses, and General and Administrative Expenses
The following illustrates the primary costs classified in each major expense category:
Cost of sales, include: ? Cost of goods sold for hardware, software and consumables; ? Cost of professional services, including maintenance; ? Markdowns of inventory; and ? Freight expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses, include:
? Sales salaries, benefits and commissions; ? Consulting; ? Marketing tools; ? Travel; and ? Marketing promotions and trade shows.
General and administrative expenses, include:
? Corporate payroll and benefits; ? Depreciation and amortization; ? Rent; ? Utilities; and
? Other administrative costs such as maintenance of corporate offices,

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As ofJune 30, 2022 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash totaling$8.5 million and$9.0 million of availability under our line of credit. In recent years, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities, borrowings from term loans and our line of credit. In certain prior years, we generated operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities as reflected in our accumulated deficit. We have generated operating income for each of the years endedDecember 31, 2018 throughDecember 31, 2021 . Based on our recent trends and our current projections, we expect to generate cash from operations for the year endingDecember 31, 2022 . Given our projections, combined with our existing cash and credit facilities, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to continue to meet our cash requirements will depend on, among other things, the effect of COVID-19 onU.S. and global economic activity, continuing disruptions in supply chains and labor shortages across industry sectors contributed to by the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of inflation, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow from operations, our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully and the continued availability of financing, if needed. We cannot provide any assurance that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate due to, among other things, the unpredictability of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its effect on our company, customers and suppliers. Consequently, the duration of the pandemic and our estimates on the severity of the impact on our future earnings and cash flows could change and have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, and declines in net sales, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional sources of financing or liquidity on acceptable terms, or at all.

Working capital (deficit)$ (2,220 ) $ 982$ (3,202 ) The working capital deficit as ofJune 30, 2022 was primarily due to the cash paid for the acquisition of AMG. Deferred revenue increased atJune 30, 2022 as compared toDecember 31, 2021 was due to an$8.7 million large enterprise retail customer order placed inJanuary 2022 , all of which was paid in cash as ofJune 30, 2022 . The estimated cost to deliver this order is approximately$7.4 million . Line of Credit
OnJuly 30, 2021 , we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") withMUFG Union Bank, National Association . The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to$9.0 million with our obligations being secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. Loans extended to us under the Loan Agreement are scheduled to mature onJuly 31, 2024 .
As of
EIDL Promissory Note OnAugust 27, 2020 , we received$150,000 in connection with a promissory note from the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") program pursuant to the CARES Act.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, some of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. 24
Acquisition of
We completed the acquisition ofAdvanced Mobile Group, LLC ("AMG") for$5.1 million onJanuary 31, 2022 . We accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, on a preliminary basis, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values, including identified intangible assets of$2.2 million and resulting goodwill of$1.9 million . Our preliminary fair value estimates of intangible assets were determined using valuation techniques based on estimates and assumptions used for similar intangible assets we acquired in connection with the acquisition of ExtenData inDecember 2020 . As disclosed in Note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , management continued to refine its estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Included in the purchase price of AMG, is contingent consideration of$0.5 million , subject to EBITDA results of AMG during each of the two years following the closing of the acquisition. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration based on the financial forecasts of AMG. The estimated fair values associated with the acquisition of AMG are subject to change during the measurement period which is not expected to exceed one year after the date of acquisition. Any adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined and recorded against goodwill. For a description of other critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 . Other than the acquisition of AMG, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 .
