(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

xG Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, has developed a broad portfolio of innovative intellectual property designed to enhance wireless communications. The Company’s intellectual property is embedded in proprietary software algorithms designed to offer cognitive interference mitigation and spectrum access solutions to organizations in a wide variety of industries, including national defense and rural broadband, which represent the primary vertical markets that the Company is initially targeting.

On January 29, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities that constitute the business of Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (‘‘IMT’’), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and IMT (the ‘‘Asset Purchase Agreement’’). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of IMT in connection with, necessary for or material to IMT’s business of designing, manufacturing and supplying of Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) microwave transmitters and receivers serving the broadcast, sports and entertainment, military, aerospace and government markets (the ‘‘Transaction’’). The purchase price for the Transaction was $3,000,000, which was initially paid through: (i) the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 due March 31, 2016 (the ‘‘Initial Payment Note’’); and (ii) the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 due July 29, 2017 (the ‘‘Deferred Payment Note’’, and together with the Initial Payment Note, the “Payment Notes”). On April 12, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Modification Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Modification Agreement”) with IMT, which terminated the Payment Notes, cancelling all principal due or to become due thereunder, and in their stead obligated the Company to: (i) upon execution of the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement, pay to IMT $500,000 plus any interest accumulated on the Payment Notes prior to their being cancelled; and (ii) prior to December 31, 2016, deliver to IMT shares (the “Series D Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) having an aggregate value of cash proceeds (“Cash Proceeds”), upon conversion of such Series D Shares into shares of common stock underlying such Series D Shares, of not less than $2,500,000, plus interest accrued thereon at 9% per annum, with such Series D Shares to be issued in tranches of $250,000 (the “Tranches”). If IMT does not realize Cash Proceeds of at least $2,500,000 by December 31, 2016, the Company will be required to either issue additional shares of common stock to IMT, or otherwise raise additional funds to cover the shortfall. Cash Proceeds are determined by the cash or cash equivalents received by IMT upon sale of the shares of common stock issued to IMT upon conversion of any Series D Shares, net of any transaction costs or expenses. Each time a new Tranche is issued, IMT shall be obligated to provide evidence of its current Cash Proceeds and the remaining amount of the $2,500,000 (plus interest) due. The first Tranche was due within ten days of the execution of the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement, and subsequent Tranches are due upon notice from IMT that IMT has disposed of the Series D Shares of the prior Tranche. The Company paid IMT $500,000 plus accrued interest on April 15, 2016. As of November 14, 2016, 5,750,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued, of which 3,750,000 have been converted into 3,125,010 shares of common stock.

IMT comprises the microwave brands Nucomm and RF Central offering customers worldwide complete video solutions. Nucomm is a premium brand of digital broadcast microwave video systems. RF Central is an innovative brand of compact microwave video equipment for licensed and license-free sports and entertainment applications. IMT is a trusted provider of mission-critical wireless video solutions to state, local and federal police departments. The xG subsidiary, Integrated Microwave Technology, LLC was formed in February 2016 as a Delaware limited liability company.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Delisting Notice

On September 29, 2015, the Company received written notice from NASDAQ notifying us that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ, as the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days. In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until March 28, 2016, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was unable to regain compliance with the bid price requirement by March 28, 2016.

On March 29, 2016, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from NASDAQ that it had granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until September 26, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on NASDAQ, pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii).

The NASDAQ determination to grant the second compliance period was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days at any time during the second 180-day compliance period. On June 20, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock as a measure to regain compliance. On August 19, 2016, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy for a special shareholders meeting to be held on September 22, 2016, asking for the shareholders to grant the Board of Directors approval to execute another reverse stock split, if necessary. The meeting was adjourned to November 16, 2016 to allow additional time for the stockholders to vote on the proposal.

On September 27, 2016, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of NASDAQ stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price of $1.00 requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to the Letter, unless the Company requests a hearing to appeal this determination by October 4, 2016, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on October 6, 2016, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”). The Company will be asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company’s plan will need to include a discussion of the events that the Company believes will enable it to timely regain compliance with such requirement. The Company intends to submit a plan that it believes will be sufficient to permit the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock is stayed, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing on Nasdaq. If the Company’s common stock ceases to be listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company would expect that its common stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group.

In the event that the Company’s common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of its common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheet or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, the Company’s common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in the Company’s coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of its common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for the Company to raise additional capital if it is not listed on a major exchange.

Reverse Stock Split

On June 10, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a resolution to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and to authorize the Company to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-12. On June 20, 2016, the Company effected the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 12 shares of outstanding common stock decreased to one share of common stock. Throughout this quarterly report the reverse split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as filed on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2016, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 may not be indicative of results for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of xG Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary since the date the acquisition of IMT was completed. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of IMT.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from management and consulting, time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other services are recognized as the services are provided or at the time the goods are shipped and title has passed.

Loss Per Share

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic loss per share at September 30, 2016 and 2015 excludes the potentially dilutive securities for 13.6 million shares and 0.9 million shares, respectively, underlying the options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, as their effect on loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the Company estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 –	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 –	Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that no events or transactions are required to be disclosed herein, except as disclosed.

Recently Issued Accounting Principles

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-08 on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarity on: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” , which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this standard and assessing its impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which eliminates the diversity in practice related to classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. At September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $200.1 million and a net loss of approximately $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has been funding its business principally through debt and equity financings and advances from related parties. The Company continues to experience significantly long sales cycles in certain areas, most notably, in the first responder, public safety, military and rural telco markets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and/or close on some of its revenue producing opportunities in the near term, the carrying value of its assets may be materially impacted. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITION OF IMT

Acquisition of Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC

The fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of IMT was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired and to the separately identifiable intangibles on January 29, 2016, the date the acquisition closed. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets and identified intangible assets has been treated as a gain on bargain purchase in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of IMT’s business and the results of a third party appraisal commissioned by management. The third party appraisal commissioned by management was finalized during the second quarter which resulted in the modification of the fair values estimated of certain assets acquired as compared to the preliminary amounts initially reported.

NOTE 7 — PREFERRED STOCK

Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were cancelled on February 5, 2016.

Series B Preferred Stock

On February 5, 2016, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to modify the terms of the Series B Preferred stock and the following terms were amended:

Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the first date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock until the Maturity Date cumulative dividends at a rate of 12.5% per annum. The Company shall have the right to pay dividends in cash or shares of common stock on the Maturity Date or in cash on any applicable redemption date or, with respect to Series B Preferred Stock that is converted, as part of the conversion amount.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (including if the Series B Preferred Stock or common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock is not freely tradeable without restriction; the failure of the common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchange; and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings instituted against us shall not be dismissed in thirty (30) days or the voluntary commencement of such proceedings by us), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have

NOTE 7 — PREFERRED STOCK (continued)

the right to require the Company, by written notice, to redeem all or any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the conversion amount to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (a) the conversion amount divided by the lower of (x) $3.00 or (y) 87.5% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading-day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable conversion notice multiplied by (b) 125% of the greatest closing sale price of the common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such triggering event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire redemption payment to the holder of Series B Preferred Stock; provided that the conversion price will not be less than the Floor Price, which Floor Price will not be adjusted for stock splits, share combinations and similar transactions. The Floor Price is $0.10 per share.

February 2016 Financing

On February 29, 2016, the Company closed a public offering of 296,389 Units, at a price of $12.00 per Unit, each of which consists of one share of Series B Preferred Stock (as amended) and 0.5 of a Warrant to purchase one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.52 per Warrant. The Company received approximately $3,556,660 in gross proceeds from the offering, and incurred costs of $604,000 which were included in temporary equity on the grant date. Roth Capital Partners acted as sole placement agent for the offering. As further discussed in Note 9, the warrants issued in connection with the February 2016 Financing contain provisions permitted the holders to net cash settle upon certain events at the Company. As such, the warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities. Of the total gross proceeds received by the Company, $231,000 were allocated to the fair value of the warrant liabilities on the date of the transaction.

In connection with the February 2016 offering, the Company repaid $1,030,611 in principal on its 5% and 8% convertible notes, and paid, $48,113 interest and $377,935 in prepayment penalties to the note holders. All of the Company’s obligations under the 8% and 5% Convertible Notes have been extinguished.

From March 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have been converted into 3,262,930 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2016, none of the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding. As a result of the conversion, the Company recorded contractual and deemed dividends of $1,808,000, which represents the difference in the fair value of the common stock issued ($4,530,000) and original net carrying value of the preferred stock converted ($2,772,000).

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

As previously disclosed in Note 1, in connection with the acquisition of IMT, the Company is obligated to issue to IMT an amount of Series D Convertible Shares equal to at least $2,500,000. On the date the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement was completed, the fair value of the obligation to IMT was determined to be $2,500,000 and was included in Series D Preferred Stock Issuable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 3,750,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock, of which 1,750,000 shares were then converted into 1,458,338 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement, the Company is required to issue Series D Shares to IMT on an on-going basis until IMT realizes cash proceeds of at least $2,500,000. If IMT does not realize Cash Proceeds of at least $2,500,000 by December 31, 2016, the Company will be required to either issue additional shares of common stock to IMT, or otherwise raise additional funds to cover the shortfall. The Company has accrued $924,000 in connection with the potential shortfall as within other expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and within accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016. Interest expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $77,000 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 7 — PREFERRED STOCK (continued)

Stated Value

The stated value of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) is $1.00 per share.

Ranking

The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of the Company in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock will rank senior to all of the Company’s common stock and other classes of capital stock with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon distributions, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, other than to the Series B Preferred Stock and any class of parity stock that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock consent to the creation of.

Liquidation Preference of Preferred Stock

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before the payment of any amount to the holder of shares of junior stock, but pari passu with any parity stock, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the amount equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock or (ii) the amount the holder of Series D Preferred Stock would receive if such holder converted the Series D Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of the liquidation event, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

Conversion Rights of Preferred

A holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.20 per share, which is adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the common stock.

Voting Rights

Except with respect to certain material changes in the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock and certain other matters, and except as may be required by Delaware law, holders of Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. The approval of a majority of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock is required to amend the Certificate of Designations.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

August 2015 Warrants

As a result of the Series B Preferred Stock having a floor price of $1.20 in the February 2016 offering, the exercise price of the unexercised Series A warrants remaining from the August 2015 Financing was adjusted to $1.20. On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into additional amendments with certain holders of the Series A warrants to reduce the exercise price to between $0.60 and $0.84. From February 29, 2016 to September 30, 2016, 496,462 of the Series A Warrants were exercised into 496,462 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received $367,000 in gross proceeds from the exercise. At the time the Company modifies an exercise price, the warrant liabilities are marked to market with the resulting change in fair value included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

February 2016 Warrants

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into amendments with certain holders of the February warrants to reduce the exercise price to $0.84.

The Company received $125,000 in gross proceeds from the exercise. At the time the Company modifies an exercise price, the warrant liabilities are marked to market with the resulting change in fair value included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

May 2016 Financing

On May 16, 2016, the Company closed an offering of units in which the Company offered 1,166,667 Units, at a price of $0.84 per Unit, each consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.3788 per share. The Company received approximately $980,000 in gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of $187,000. Roth Capital Partners acted as sole placement agent for the offering. The Warrants will be exercisable beginning on November 16, 2016 at an exercise price of $1.3788 per share. The Warrants will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial date of issuance.

As discussed in Note 9, the warrants issued in the May 2016 Financing contain provisions whereby the holder can net cash settle upon certain events occurring at the Company. As such, the warrants were recorded by the Company as derivative liabilities upon completion of the May 2016 Financing. Of the total gross proceeds, $826,000 were recorded as derivative liabilities and $154,000 were recorded within stockholders’ equity at the date of issuance. Of the total aggregate costs of the offering, $158,000 were included in other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $29,000 were recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.

The Company also granted to the underwriters a 45-day option to acquire an additional 1,095,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase 1,368,750 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. On July 15, 2016, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase warrants to purchase 1,368,750 shares of common stock. The Company received approximately $5 million in gross proceeds from the offering, including exercise of the over-allotment option, before deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $701,000. The Warrants will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial date of issuance.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Each of the warrants issued in connection with the August 2015 underwritten offering, the February 2016 Series B Preferred Stock Offering, May 2016 Financing and July 2016 Financing have been accounted for as derivative liabilities as each of the warrants contain a net cash settlement provision whereby, upon certain fundamental events, the holders could put the warrants back to the Company for cash.

The following are the key assumptions that were used in connection with the valuation of the warrants exercisable into common stock as of September 30, 2016:

Number of shares underlying the warrants on September 30, 2016		9,777,461
Fair market value of stock	$	0.288
Exercise price	$	0.685 to 240.00
Volatility		156% to 214	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.57% to 0.85	%
Expected dividend yield		—
Warrant life (years)		2.1 to 4.8

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company deems financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. In accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each subsequent period.

The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a binomial model style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (continued)

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Overview

The overarching strategy of xG Technology, Inc. is to design, develop and deliver advanced wireless communications solutions across its business units that provide customers in our target markets with enhanced levels of reliability, mobility, performance and efficiency in their business operations and missions.

xG Technology is comprised of two business units: our xMax unit, which provides product and service solutions marketed under the xMax brand name, and Integrated Microwave Technology (‘‘IMT’’) our wholly owned subsidiary, which provides product and service solutions marketed under the brand names Nucomm, RF Central and IMT. Nucomm is a premium brand of digital broadcast microwave video systems. RF Central is a well-established brand of compact microwave video equipment for licensed and license-free sports and entertainment applications. The IMT products are focused on providing mission-critical wireless video solutions to state, local and federal police departments. While the brands of xMax and IMT are managed as separate reporting units and operate independently, there is considerable brand interaction, owing to complementary market focus, compatible product and technology development roadmaps, and solution integration opportunities.

xMax:

Our xMax unit develops, manufactures and sells equipment that utilizes a broad portfolio of innovative intellectual property to enhance wireless communications. Our intellectual property is embedded in proprietary software algorithms that offer cognitive interference mitigation and spectrum access solutions for numerous applications using commercial off-the-shelf devices. The implementation of our cognitive radio intellectual property is

called ‘‘xMax’’. The xMax product and service suite includes access points, mobile switching centers, network management systems, deployment tools and proactive customer support. Customers within this market include telecommunication services, public safety, telemedicine as well as the U.S. Government and Department of Defense.

Given the proliferation of smartphones, in 2013, the Company introduced an improved product line that could handle both voice and data services. These products, the CN1100 Access Point (‘‘CN1100’’), the CN5100 Mobile Hotspot (‘‘CN5100’’), and the CN3100 Vehicle Modem (‘‘CN3100’’), are able to communicate with any Wi-Fi enabled commercial off-the-shelf device.

We believe that the wireless communications industry is facing a ‘‘spectrum crisis’’ because the demand for flexible, affordable voice and data access continues to increase rapidly while the amount of available spectrum remains relatively constant. We have developed frequency-agnostic cognitive radio solutions to address this increasing demand by eliminating the need to acquire scarce and expensive licensed radio spectrum, and thus ideally lowering the total cost of ownership for wireless broadband access. With fast-growing demand straining network capacity, our intellectual property is also designed to help wireless broadband network operators make more efficient use of their existing spectrum allocations.

We believe that the xMax system is the only commercially available cognitive radio network system that includes our interference mitigation and spatial processing technologies. These proprietary technologies enable our xMax system to increase capacity on already crowded airwaves by improving interference tolerance, thereby enabling the delivery of higher Quality of Service (‘‘QoS’’) than other technologies that would not be able to cope with the interference. We believe that the xMax system will also, when operating on more than one radio channel, deliver dynamic spectrum access by using our patented self-organizing network techniques. Furthermore, the xMax system can be used to provide additional capacity to licensed spectrum by identifying and utilizing unused bandwidth within the licensed spectrum. Although currently designed to operate within the 902 − 928 MHz unlicensed band of spectrum, our system is frequency agnostic. xMax also serves as a mobile voice over internet protocol (‘‘VoIP’’) and broadband data system that utilizes an end-to-end Internet Protocol (‘‘IP’’) system architecture.

The xMax system allows mobile operators to utilize free, unlicensed 902 − 928 MHz ISM band spectrum (which spectrum is available in all of the Americas except French Guiana) instead of purchasing scarce and expensive licensed spectrum. Our xMax system will also enable enterprises to set up a mobile communications network in an expeditious and cost-effective manner.

IMT:

Our IMT unit, which provides product and service solutions marketed under the brand names Nucomm, RF Central and IMT, develops, manufactures and sells microwave communications equipment utilizing COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. Its products are primarily used in the transmission of video to address three major market areas: Broadcasting, Sports and Entertainment, and Government/Surveillance. COFDM is a transmission technique that combines encoding technology with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation to provide the low latency and high image clarity required for real-time live broadcasting video transmissions. IMT has an established reputation of delivering complex bespoke engineering solutions managed to tight deadlines for the past 20 years and is considered a leader in ultra compact COFDM wireless technology. IMT’s experience with this technology has allowed it to develop integrated solutions that deliver reliable video footage captured from both aerial and ground-based sources to fixed and mobile receiver locations.

The Broadcasting market consists of electronic news gathering, wireless camera systems, portable microwaves, and fixed point to point systems. Customers within this market are blue-chip tier-1 major network TV stations that include over-the-air broadcasters, and cable and satellite news providers. For this market, IMT designs, develops and markets solutions for use in news helicopters, ground-based news vehicles, camera operations, central receive sites, remote onsite and studio newscasts and live television events.

The Sports and Entertainment market consists of key segments that include sports production, sports venue entertainment systems, movie director video assist, and the non-professional user segment. Customers within this market are major professional sports teams, movie production companies, live video production service providers, system integrators and a growing segment of drone and unmanned ground vehicle providers. Among the key solutions IMT provides to this market are wireless camera systems and mobile radios.

The Government/Surveillance market consists of key segments that include state and local law enforcement agencies, federal ‘‘3-letter’’ agencies and military system integrators. Customers within this market include recognizable state police forces, sheriff’s departments, fire departments, first responders, the Department of Justice and the Department of Home Land Security. The key solutions IMT provides to this market are manned and unmanned aerial and ground systems, mobile and handheld receive systems and transmitters for concealed video surveillance.

On January 29, 2016, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of IMT, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between us and IMT. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of IMT in connection with, necessary for or material to IMT’s business of designing, manufacturing and supplying of Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) microwave transmitters and receivers serving the broadcast, sports and entertainment, military, aerospace and government markets (the ‘‘Transaction’’). The purchase price for the Transaction was $3,000,000, which was paid through: (i) the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 due March 31, 2016 (the ‘‘Initial Payment Note’’); and (ii) the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 due July 29, 2017 (the ‘‘Deferred Payment Note”, and together, the “Payment Notes”).

On April 12, 2016, we entered into an Asset Purchase Modification Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Modification Agreement”) with IMT, which terminated the Payment Notes, cancelling all principal due or to become due thereunder, and in their stead obligated us to: (i) upon execution of the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement, pay to IMT $500,000 plus any interest accumulated on the Payment Notes prior to their being cancelled; and (ii) prior to December 31, 2016, deliver to IMT shares (the “Series D Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) having an aggregate value of cash proceeds (“Cash Proceeds”), upon conversion of such Series D Shares into shares of common stock underlying such Series D Shares, of not less than $2,500,000, plus interest accrued thereon at 9% per annum, with such Series D Shares to be issued in tranches of $250,000 (the “Tranches”). If IMT does not realize Cash Proceeds of at least $2,500,000 by December 31, 2016, we will be required to either issue additional shares of common stock to IMT, or otherwise raise additional funds to cover the shortfall. Cash Proceeds are determined by the cash or cash equivalents received by IMT upon sale of the shares of common stock issued to IMT upon conversion of any Series D Shares, net of any transaction costs or expenses. Each time a new Tranche is issued, IMT shall be obligated to provide evidence of its current Cash Proceeds and the remaining amount of the $2,500,000 (plus interest) due. The first Tranche was due within ten days of the execution of the Asset Purchase Modification Agreement, and subsequent Tranches are due upon notice from IMT that IMT disposed of the Series D Shares of the prior Tranche. We paid IMT $500,000 plus accrued interest on April 15, 2016. As of November 14, 2016, 5,750,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued, of which 3,750,000 have been converted into 3,125,010 shares of common stock.

IMT comprises the leading microwave brands Nucomm, RF Central and IMT, offering customers worldwide complete video solutions. Nucomm is a premium brand of digital broadcast microwave video systems. RF Central is an innovative brand of compact microwave video equipment for licensed and license-free sports and entertainment applications. IMT is a trusted provider of mission-critical wireless video solutions to state, local and federal law enforcement divisions.

Letter of Intent with Vislink PLC

On October 13, 2016, we signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Vislink PLC, an England and Wales public limited company (the “Seller” or “Vislink”), regarding the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities relating to the hardware segment of Vislink (the “Transaction”). The purchase price of the Transaction will be $16 million (the “Purchase Price”). We are required to raise at least one-third of the Purchase Price and place it in a restricted account to be used for closing of the Transaction within twenty (20) days of the receipt of pro-forma financial information (the “Financing Condition”). The parties intend to negotiate and execute a definitive asset purchase and sale agreement for the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the LOI.

The definitive asset purchase and sale agreement will include customary closing conditions including necessary approvals for an asset purchase of this size and scope. We and the Seller have agreed not to initiate or enter into any discussion with any other prospective purchaser of the assets and/or liabilities, or of the stock or business of Vislink prior to December 31, 2016.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefit expenses and payroll taxes, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities and travel. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred aggregate expenses of $1.4 million and $4.6 million, compared to $1.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 40%, for the three months and $0.9 million, or 24%, for the nine months ending September 30, 2016.

The three month increase of $0.4 million is due to the Company not capitalizing any salaries associated with software development costs for the three months ending September 30, 2016 compared to $0.5 million of salaries associated with software development costs that were capitalized in the three months ending September 30, 2015. Included in the three months ending September 30, 2016, is $0.2 million of research and development expenses as a result of the IMT acquisition on January 29, 2016. After taking into account the non-capitalization of salaries associated with software development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2016, total research and development costs decreased over the period by $0.3 million with regard to payroll, due to a reduction in personnel.

The nine month increase of $0.9 million is due to the Company not capitalizing any salaries associated with software development costs for the three months ending September 30, 2016 compared to $1.7 million of salaries associated with software development costs that were capitalized in the nine months ending September 30, 2016. Included in the nine months ending September 30, 2016, is $0.5 million of research and development expenses as a result of the IMT acquisition on January 29, 2016. After taking into account the non-capitalization of salaries associated with software development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2016, total research and development costs decreased over the period by $1.0 million with regard to payroll and $0.1 million in insurances due to a reduction in personnel, $0.1 million in stock based compensation associated with the expensing of stock options; and $0.1 million with regard to materials not used for research and development purposes.

We expect our research and development costs to continue to decrease going forward as we implement additional cost saving measures in our current full-time, part-time and contracted workforce.

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $1.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Amortization and depreciation expenses increased $0.3 million, or 53%, from $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Amortization and depreciation increased $1.2 million, or 41% from $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $4.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases are due to the depreciation on the step-up in valuation of certain assets of IMT in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Other

Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The other expense of $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, represents the shortfall in proceeds on the Series D Preferred Stock that was associated with the acquisition of IMT.

The changes in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This is due to the changes in our stock price subsequent to these warrant issuances resulting in an unrealized gain in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

The gain on bargain purchase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The lack of a gain for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was a result of the IMT acquisition in January 2016. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is due to the Company finalizing the IMT purchase price allocation in the second quarter of 2016.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The fluctuations were primarily due to the 35% prepayment penalty recorded as interest on the conversion of the 8% Convertible Notes issued in June 2015 and July 2015 (the “8% Convertible Notes”) into the February 2016 financing; interest on the 5% Convertible Notes issued in January 2016 and the 8% Convertible Notes; and interest on promissory notes issued to IMT and our CEO, George Schmitt.

Net Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $3.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, or a decrease of $0 and an increase of $1.2 million.

The increase in net loss is due mainly to an increase in amortization and depreciation, general and administrative and research and development expenses discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a working capital of approximately $0.2 million including $1.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. We have incurred net losses of $11.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Additionally, we have incurred negative operating cash flows including cash used in operations of $6.7 million and $5.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. The Company does not currently have sufficient capital in order to fund operations for the next twelve months from the balance sheet date or to achieve cash flow breakeven. Therefore, the Company is actively evaluating various alternatives of financing in order to obtain additional capital to allow the Company to deliver its products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the major components of our statements of cash flows data for the periods presented.

For the Nine Month Period Ended

(In Thousands)

Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):	September 30, 2016			September 30, 2015
Operating Activities	$	(6,480	)	$	(5,144	)
Investing Activities	$	(35	)	$	(1,876	)
Financing Activities	$	7,979		$	7,403
Cash at end of period	$	1,832		$	1,141

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $6.5 million as compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $1.4 million. Of the $1.4 million increase, approximately $0.3 million was due to the acquisition of IMT.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.04 million as compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The net cash proceeds from the IMT acquisition were $(0.023) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. No capitalization of intangible assets occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $8.0 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were net proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock in February and the issuance of common stock in May and July totaling $8.0 million; $1.0 million from short-term convertible notes; and $0.5 million from the exercise of warrants. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 there were net proceeds from the August 2015 financing totaling $4.7 million; net proceeds from the conversion of the August 2015 financing Series B warrants totaling $0.1 million, net proceeds from the Series B and C Preferred Stock totaling $1.5 million; and net proceeds from a short term convertible note totaling $1.5 million.

Cost Reduction Initiatives

In 2015, we implemented cost reduction initiatives that included a decrease in our current full, part-time and contracted workforce. These initiatives resulted in a reduction in monthly operating expenses to approximately $800,000 – an improvement of over 30%. This saved the Company approximately $3.5 million in 2015.

On April 6, 2016, we announced the implementation of further additional cost reduction initiatives that will include a decrease in our current, full, part-time and contracted workforce, transitioning other employees to non-cash compensation agreements, and other reductions in operating expenses. These initiatives are expected to result in a monthly decrease of $300,000 in our cash requirements or $2.7 million in 2016.

Financing Events

$500,000 Securities Purchase Agreement

On January 29, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold 5% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the ‘‘5% Convertible Notes’’) to accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 for net proceeds of $500,000. In connection with the February 2016 financing, all of our obligations under the 5% Convertible Notes have been extinguished.

February 2016 Financing

On February 29, 2016, we closed a public offering of 296,389 Units, at a price of $12.00 per Unit, each of which consists of one share of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 0.5 of a Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.52 per Warrant. We received approximately $3,556,660 in gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. Roth Capital Partners acted as sole placement agent for the offering. The Company used $1,456,660 of the gross proceeds and repaid the outstanding principal balance and interest on the 8% Convertible Notes and 5% Convertible Notes.

April 2016 Financing

On April 15, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the ‘‘Securities Purchase Agreement’’) with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we sold a principal amount of $550,000 of 5% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (the ‘‘April 5% Convertible Notes’’). In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a security agreement, dated April 15, 2016, pursuant to which we granted the investors a security interest in all of our assets. As of September 30, 2016, $215,000 principal was converted into 242,420 shares of common stock.

May 2016 Financing

On May 16, 2016, we closed an offering of units in which the Company offered 1,166,667 Units, at a price of $0.84 per Unit, each of which consists of one share of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.3788 per share. We received approximately $980,000 in gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by us. Roth Capital Partners acted as sole placement agent for the offering.

The Warrants will be exercisable beginning on November 16, 2016 at an exercise price of $1.3788 per share. The Warrants will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial date of issuance.

July 2016 Financing

On July 20, 2016, we completed an underwritten public offering of 7,300,000 Units, each of which consists of one share of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 1.25 of a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.685 per share. On July 15, 2016, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase warrants to purchase 1,368,750 shares of common stock. We received approximately $4.3 million in net proceeds from the offering, including exercise of the over-allotment option, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Roth Capital Partners acted as sole book-running manager for the offering. Aegis Capital Corp. acted as co-lead manager for the offering.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, obtain other means of financing, and to fulfill purchase orders. Our ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts, on purchase orders is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of the lack of corporate accounting personnel necessary to maintain adequate segregation of duties, insufficient resources to hire additional accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of U.S. GAAP, and not properly performing an effective risk assessment or monitoring of our internal controls over financial reporting. As of September 30, 2016, we concluded that such weaknesses continued to exist.

During 2016, the Company has made progress to remedy these weaknesses through the recent hiring of an SEC reporting consultant to support the Director of Finance and the acquisition of accounting personnel in the IMT acquisition in January 2016 who are able to assist in supporting the Company’s accounting department. The Company is continuing to further remediate these weaknesses as its resources permit it to.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, except as discussed above.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights.

As of September 30, 2016, we do not have any litigation matters pending.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None
