Independent Auditors' Report

To The Owners 

SPEC Sensors, LLC and Affiliate 

Newark, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPEC Sensors, LLC and Affiliate, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in owners' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Unqualified Opinion on the 2021 and 2020 Financial Statements

In our opinion, the 2021 and 2020 combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all related amendments ("ASC 606") and applied its provisions to all uncompleted contracts using the modified retrospective basis. The application of this new revenue recognition standard resulted in no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

Performance Obligations - Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer has obtained control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration of which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers:

Product Sales - The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of gas sensors, kits, elements, engineering services, and related products. Revenue on the sale of these products is recognized when orders are shipped.

All revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined to be performance obligations satisfied at a point in time.

The Company utilizes the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable balances. Under the allowance method, an estimate of uncollectible customer balances is made based on the Company's prior history and other factors such as the credit quality of the customer and economic conditions of the market. Based on these factors, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded.

Inventory, both materials and finished goods, consists primarily of electrochemical gas sensors, gas sensors modules, ECO sensors low-cost ozone monitors, CO monitors and TTD gas sensors. Inventory was valued at $656,766 and $951,582 on December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Intangible assets consist of the following at December 31,:    

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, advertising costs amounted to $7,820 and $18,371, respectively.

The Company leases its manufacturing, distribution and office space in Newark, California for terms in excess of one year. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 amounted to $187,078 and $165,886, respectively.

The following is a schedule by years of the future minimum lease payments as of December 31,:

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had one major customer, to which sales accounted for approximately 12% of the Company's revenue. At December 31, 2021, accounts receivable from this customer represented approximately 3%, of the total accounts receivable balance. For the years ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any major customers.

On May 6, 2020, SPEC Sensors, LLC received loan proceeds from Bank of the West in the amount of $52,905 under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). On May 7, 2020, KWJ Engineering, Inc. received loan proceeds from Bank of West in the amount of $338,689 under the PPP. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average qualifying monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loan and accrued interest are forgivable as long as the borrower uses the proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower is unable to re-hire to the same employment level, reduces salaries during the covered period, or uses more than forty percent of the money on nonemployment expenses.

On July 23, 2021, both SPEC Sensors, LLC and KWJ Engineering, Inc. were granted forgiveness from the Small Business Administration (SBA) for the full amounts of each loan. In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, $391,594 of PPP funds were recognized on the combined statements of operations and owners' equity as other income for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company has certain contingent liabilities and is a party to various claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that all such matters are without merit or are of such kind or involve such amounts that unfavorable disposition would not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Management has evaluated events occurring after the combined balance sheet date through October 24 2022, the date in which the combined financial statements were available to be issued.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a public health emergency. The declaration has a potential impact on the Company and its customers from production delays, contract stoppages or decreases, and other. Significant work stoppages and an economic slowdown has impacted not only the United States, but the worldwide economy. Management is unable to estimate the impact that this public health emergency will have on the Company's financial position or its operating results and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the accompanying combined financial statements.

INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022

On December 16, 2022, Interlink Electronics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“Interlink” or the “Company”), acquired all of the assets of SPEC Sensors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPEC”), and KWJ Engineering, Inc., a California corporation (“KWJ”) (collectively, “SPEC/KWJ”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, SPEC/KWJ, and the equity holders of SPEC and KWJ (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including non-competition covenants on the part of the two principal equity holders, who will continue with the Company.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for both companies’ assets is $2,269,000, of which $1,519,000 was paid at closing, $375,000 was paid into escrow subject to a 90-day purchase price adjustment process, and $375,000 was escrowed against claims for breaches of representations and warranties (subject to certain deductibles and caps). The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the extent if any to which the combined companies’ net working capital at closing is more or less than $1,350,000.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the pro forma effects of our having entered into and closed the Transaction. We have derived our historical financial data as of September 30, 2022, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 from our financial statements contained on Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have derived SPEC Sensors, LLC and KWJ Engineering, Inc.’s historical financial statements as of September 30, 2022, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 from SPEC Sensors, LLC and KWJ Engineering, Inc.’s combined financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 assumes the Transaction consummated on September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 assumes the Transaction consummated on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 assumes the Transaction consummated on January 1, 2021.

The information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements does not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transaction occurred during the periods presented, nor is it indicative of our future financial position or results of operations for any period. You should not rely on this information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined companies will experience after the Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and assumptions and the historical financial statements and related notes of Interlink Electronics, Inc. and SPEC Sensors, LLC and KWJ Engineering, Inc.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in order to present the combined financial position and results of operations of Interlink Electronics, Inc. (“Interlink” or the “Company”) and SPEC Sensors, LLC (“SPEC”) and KWJ Engineering, Inc. (“KWJ”) (collectively, “SPEC/KWJ”) as if the Transaction had occurred at September 30, 2022 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, as if the Transaction had occurred at January 1, 2022 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and as if the Transaction had occurred at January 1, 2021 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The condensed financial statements of Interlink as of September 30, 2022, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were derived from our financial statements contained on Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The condensed financial statements of SPEC/KWJ as of September 30, 2022, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were derived from SPEC/KWJ’s combined financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

The Transaction is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as being accounted for based on the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the total estimated purchase price is calculated as described in Note 2. In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Note 2. Acquisition

On December 16, 2022, the Company acquired all of the assets of SPEC/KWJ for cash consideration of $2,000,000 plus (or minus) the amount by which net working capital at closing is more (or less) than $1,350,000. Had the Transaction occurred on September 30, 2022, the purchase price would have been $2,010,8278, as SPEC/KWJ’s net working capital was $1,360,828 as of September 30, 2022. For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Company made preliminary estimates of the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimated fair value of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be revised as a result of additional information obtained regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair value, including, but not limited to, the completion of identification of and valuations related to intangible assets. The purchase price allocation will be finalized during the 12-month measurement period following the acquisition date. Therefore, it is likely that the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will vary from those shown and as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and the differences may be material.

The following summarizes the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

The goodwill is primarily for expected synergies from combining the operations of SPEC/KWJ with the Company’s existing operations. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

The following unaudited pro forma adjustments are incorporated into the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

AJE 1 - Recognition of the cash payment of $2,010,828 for the acquisition of SPEC/KWJ.

AJE 2 - Recognition of goodwill of $308,267 and the increase in the preliminary estimated fair value of amortizable intangible assets of $291,872.

AJE 3 - Elimination of SPEC/KWJ’s owners’ equity.

AJE 4 - Reverse amortization expense of $15,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and record amortization expense of $46,240 for the amortizable intangible assets that would have been recorded had the Transaction occurred at the beginning of the period.

AJE 5 - Reverse amortization expense of $20,456 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and record amortization expense of $61,653 for the amortizable intangible assets that would have been recorded had the Transaction occurred at the beginning of the period.
