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 $ i 140,137 employee retention credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as other income in the consolidated statement of operations.

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.

The Company’s operating income was $ i 12,763 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and operating loss was $ i 70,879 for the nine months ended September 30. 2022. As part of the evaluation, management considered the Company’s cash balance of $ i 145,444 and working capital of $ i 254,992 as of September 30, 2022, as well as the Company’s projected revenues and expenses for the next twelve months. If the Company is not successful in achieving its projected revenues and expenses, which is dependent on the demand of the customers disclosed in Note 2 Concentration of Credit Risk, it may need to seek other sources of revenue, areas of further expense reduction or additional funding from other sources such as debt or equity raising; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be successful in a debt or equity raise or that such funding would be on terms that it would find acceptable.

Note 2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 i Income (loss) Per Share - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) adjusts basic income (loss) earnings per share for the effects of convertible securities, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) in the future that were not included in the computation of the diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, consisted of the following:

 i Cash - Cash includes cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At various times during the periods ended September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash deposits in excess of the maximum amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash was held at four financial institutions.

 i Concentration of Credit Risk - The following customers accounted for 10% or more of Andrea’s consolidated total revenues during at least one of the periods presented below:

* Amounts are less than 10%

As of September 30, 2022, Customers A, B, C, D, and F accounted for approximately  i 15%,  i 25%,  i 18%,  i 28%, and  i 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, Customers A, B, C, and E accounted for approximately  i 29%,  i 22%,  i 16%, and  i 17%, respectively, of accounts receivable.

 i Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 i Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The cost of inventory is based on the respective cost of materials. Andrea reviews its inventory reserve for obsolescence on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves on inventories based on the specific identification method as well as a general reserve. Andrea records changes in inventory reserves as part of cost of product revenues.

 i Long-Lived Assets - Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andrea’s policy is to periodically review the value assigned to its long-lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of Andrea’s long lived assets is not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product revenues), the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value, based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows which becomes the new cost basis for the impaired asset. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Andrea concluded that intangibles and long-lived assets were not impaired.

 i Trade accounts payable and other current liabilities - Trade accounts payable and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

 i Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue using the following five-step approach:

This approach includes the evaluation of sales terms, performance obligations, variable consideration, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts.

The Company disaggregates its revenues into three contract types: (1) product revenues, (2) service related revenues and (3) license revenues and then further disaggregates its revenues by operating segment. Generally, product revenue is comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product revenues. Product revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation by transferring promised goods to a customer. Product revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Contracts with customers are comprised of customer purchase orders, invoices and written contracts. Customer product orders are fulfilled at a point in time and not over a period of time. The Company does not have arrangements for returns from customers and does not have any future obligations directly or indirectly related to product resale by customers. The Company has no sales incentive programs. Service related and licensing revenues are recognized based on the terms and conditions of individual contracts using the five-step approach listed above, which identifies performance obligations and transaction price. Typically, Andrea receives licensing reports from its licensees approximately one quarter in arrears due to the fact that its agreements require customers to report revenues between 30 to 60 days after the end of the quarter. Under this accounting policy, the licensing revenues reported are not based upon estimates. In addition, service related revenues, which are short-term in nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed. During the three months ending September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the nine months ending September 30, 2022, there were  i  i  i no /  /  service related revenues. During the nine months ending September 30, 2021, there was approximately $4,000 of service related revenue. During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2022, $ i 83,113 and $ i 126,784, respectively, of deferred revenue was recognized as product revenue. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $ i 12,790 of deferred revenue, which are advance payments from customers that are expected to be recognized as product revenue within one year and are included in trade accounts payable and other current liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 for an additional description of the Company’s reportable business segments and the revenue reported in each segment.

 i Income Taxes - Andrea accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance. Andrea expects it will reduce its valuation allowance in future periods to the extent that it can demonstrate its ability to utilize the assets. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. Income tax expense consists of taxes payable for the period, withholding of income tax as mandated by the foreign jurisdiction in which the revenues are earned and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as “major” tax jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended 2019 through 2022. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position.

 i Use of Estimates - The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates are used in accounting for allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, deferred income taxes valuation allowance, expected realizable values for assets (primarily intangible assets), contingencies, revenue recognition and liquidity. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 i Subsequent Events - The Company evaluates events that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued. Based upon that evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 i Reclassifications – Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operation or loss per share.

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 $ i 3,500,000, which was fully repaid as of September 30, 2016 and issued certain notes containing the features described in the Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Notes”), which were repaid in 2016. In 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022, the parties executed and amended a rider to the Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Rider”) pursuant to which Andrea agreed to issue and sell to AND34 additional Notes up to an aggregate amount of $ i 11,500,000 (the “Additional Notes”), or such greater amount as AND34 may agree to in its sole discretion. The Additional Notes and related payment -in-kind (“PIK”) interest have a maturity date of January 20, 2024. The proceeds of the Additional Notes will be used to pay certain expenses related to the Revenue Sharing Agreement and expenses of the Company incurred in pursuing patent monetization. As of December 31, 2021, there was $ i 2,024,422 of Additional Notes principal and $ i 276,770 PIK Interest outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, there was $ i 2,169,422 of Additional Notes principal and $ i 339,132 PIK Interest outstanding.

Any Monetization Revenues will first be applied  i 100% to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on, and then to repay outstanding principal of, the Additional Notes. After the Additional Notes are paid in full, the Monetization Revenues will be allocated amongst the Revenue Participants and the Company in accordance with certain predetermined percentages (based on aggregate amounts received by the Revenue Participants) ranging from  i 50% to ultimately  i 20% to the Revenue Participants. Monetization Revenues is defined in the Revenue Sharing Agreement to include, but is not limited to, amounts that the Company receives from third parties with respect to the Patents, which may include new license revenues, certain product revenue, payments and judgments. Monetization Revenues and associated expenses are included in the Company’s Patent Monetization Segment (See Note 9).

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.

Note 4.     Long-Term Debt

The unpaid principal amount of the Additional Notes (including any PIK Interest) has an interest rate equal to LIBOR (as defined in the Revenue Sharing Agreement) plus  i 2% per annum (totaling  i 4.25% and  i 3.00% at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively); provided that upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as set forth in the Revenue Sharing Agreement), the interest rate will increase an additional  i 2% per annum. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Revenue Sharing Agreement, upon the occurrence of certain benchmark transition events, such LIBOR benchmark may be replaced with an alternative benchmark as described therein. Interest may be paid in cash at the option of the Company and otherwise shall be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Additional Notes by the amount of such interest (“PIK Interest”). The Company may prepay the Additional Notes from time to time in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, $ i 145,000 and $ i 140,000, respectively, of Additional Notes were issued to AND34. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining amount of Additional Notes that could be issued was $ i 3,415,000, subject to certain restrictions and limitations outlined in the Revenue Sharing Agreement. Amounts reported as current maturities of long-term debt reflect amounts expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

On July 13, 2020, the Company entered into the SBA Loan pursuant to which the Company received loan proceeds of $ i 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  i 3.75% with required monthly payments of $ i 731 beginning in January 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, $ i 731 and $ i 2,193, respectively, of interest only payments were made. 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 has used the proceeds of the SBA Loan for such purpose.

Long-term debt

On both May 8, 2020 and February 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan, a SBA Note and Loan Agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. pursuant to which the Company received loan proceeds of $ i 142,775 (the “PPP Loan First Draw”) and $ i 142,777 (the “PPP Loan Second Draw” and together with the PPP Loan First Draw, the “PPP Loans”), respectively. While applying for the PPP Loan First Draw, the SBA advanced $ i 8,000 of loan proceeds to the Company on April 30, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act, recipients can apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP with such forgiveness determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes such as payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels during the eight-week period following the funding. The Company used the proceeds of both the PPP Loan First Draw and the PPP Loan Second Draw for Qualifying Expenses. In January 2021, $ i 142,775 and $ i 866 of accrued interest from the PPP Loan First Draw were forgiven. In April 2021, the initial advance of $ i 8,000 and $ i 87 of accrued interest was also forgiven. In September 2021, $ i 142,777 and accrued interest of $ i 841 from the PPP Loan Second Draw were forgiven.

Note 5.     Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock had a stated value of $ i 10,000 plus a $ i 1,671 increase in the stated value, which sum is convertible into Andrea’s common stock at a conversion price of $ i 0.2551. The shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to anti-dilution provisions, which are triggered in the event of certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions. In addition, issuances of common stock at a price below the conversion price of $ i 0.2551, or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less than that conversion price, other than for certain previously outstanding securities and certain “excluded securities” (as defined in Andrea’s certificate of amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price to that lower price at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be acquired. In the event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a conversion price or exercise price which varies with the market price and the terms of such variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more favorable variable price when making conversions of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

As of September 30, 2022, there were  i 11.469249 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, which were convertible into  i 524,736 shares of Andrea’s common stock and had remaining accrued dividends of $ i 19,168.

Note 6.     Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Andrea’s common stock at a conversion price of $ i 0.25 per share. The shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are also subject to anti-dilution provisions, which are triggered in the event of certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions. In addition, issuances of common stock at a price below the conversion price then in effect (currently $0.25), or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less than that conversion price, other than for certain previously outstanding securities and certain “excluded securities” (as defined in Andrea’s certificate of amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price to that lower price at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be acquired. In the event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a conversion price or exercise price which varies with the market price and the terms of such variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more favorable variable price when making conversions of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company is required to use its best efforts to secure the inclusion for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the common stock issuable under the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and to arrange for at least two market makers registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. In the event that the holder of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants is unable to convert these securities into Andrea Common Stock, the Company shall pay to each such holder a Registration Delay Payment (as such term is defined in its certificate of amendment). This payment is to be paid in cash and is equal to the product of (i) the stated value of such shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock multiplied by (ii) the product of (1) .0005 multiplied by (2) the number of days that sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (excluding any days that may be considered grace periods as defined by the Registration Rights Agreement).

As of September 30, 2022, there were  i 907,144 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding which were convertible into  i 3,628,576 shares of Andrea’s common stock.

The Company’s operating lease portfolio includes corporate offices, information technology (IT) equipment, and automobiles with remaining lease terms of  i 1 year to  i 4 years. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are presented within other assets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within trade accounts payable and other current liabilities, and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented separately on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

As of September 30, 2022, maturities of operating lease liabilities were as follows:

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 $ i 216,000. The employment agreement provides for quarterly bonuses equal to  i 5% of the Company’s pre-bonus net after tax quarterly earnings for a total quarterly bonus amount not to exceed $12,500; and annual bonuses equal to  i 9% of the Company’s annual pre-bonus net after tax earnings in excess of $ i 300,000 up to $ i 3,000,000, and  i 3% of the Company’s annual pre-bonus adjusted net after tax earnings in excess of $ i 3,000,000. Adjustments to net after tax earnings shall be made to remove the impact of change in recognition of accumulated deferred tax asset value and any income recognized from forgiveness of debt or tax credits received relating to the CARES Act. All bonuses shall be payable as soon as the Company’s cash flow permits. All bonus determinations or any additional bonus in excess of the above will be made in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Under certain circumstances, Mr. Andrea is entitled to a change in control payment equal to twelve months of Mr. Andrea’s most recent base salary plus a pro-rated portion of Mr. Andrea's most recent annual and four quarterly bonuses paid immediately preceding the change of control, continuation of health and medical benefits for twelve months and immediate vesting of all stock options in the event of a change in control during the term of his agreement and subsequent termination of his employment within twelve months following the change of control. In the event of his termination without cause or resignation with the Company’s consent, Mr. Andrea is entitled to a severance payment equal to two months of his base salary, plus the two months pro-rated portion of his most recent annual and quarterly bonuses, payment of $ i 12,500 (the un-paid bonus for the quarter ended September 30, 2017) and a continuation of health insurance coverage for Mr. Andrea and his dependents for 6 months. At September 30, 2022, the future minimum cash commitments under this agreement aggregate $ i 72,000.

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 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 two 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.
