SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” may not be exhaustive.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Phunware, Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of Multiscreen as a Service (MaaS) solutions, an integrated customer engagement platform that enables organizations to develop customized, immersive, branded mobile applications. The Company sells its services in vertical markets, including health care, retail, hospitality, transportation, sports, and entertainment. The Company enables brands to engage, manage, and monetize their anytime-anywhere mobile users. The Company’s MaaS technology is available in software development kit form for organizations developing their own application, via customized development services, and prepackaged solutions. Through its integrated mobile advertising platform of publishers and developers, the Company also maximizes mobile monetization through an advertising product suite including real-time bidding, publisher mediation and yield optimization, cross-platform ad creation, and dynamic ad serving. Founded in 2009, the Company is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Business Combination

On February 27, 2018, Phunware entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”) with Stellar Acquisition III, Inc. (“Stellar”). On December 26, 2018, the Company consummated the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Reverse Merger and Recapitalization”). In connection with the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, the registrant changed its name from Stellar Acquisition III, Inc. to Phunware, Inc. (“Successor”). Furthermore, the holders of Phunware’s preferred stock converted all of their issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of Phunware common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization (the “Effective Time”): (i) all shares of Phunware common stock and preferred stock (the “Phunware Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Exchange) converted into the right to receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration (as defined below); (ii) each outstanding warrant to acquire shares of Phunware Stock was cancelled, retired and terminated in exchange for the right to receive from the Successor a new warrant for shares of Successor common stock with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion of the shares of Phunware Stock into the Stockholder Merger Consideration, but with terms otherwise the same as the Phunware warrant (each, a “Replacement Warrant”); and (iii) each outstanding option to acquire Phunware Stock (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by the Successor and automatically converted into an option to acquire shares of Successor common stock, with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion of the shares of Phunware Stock into the Stockholder Merger Consideration (each, an “Assumed Option”). The shares of Successor common stock and the Transferred Sponsor Warrants (as defined in Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 13, 2018) transferred to Phunware stockholders are collectively referred to as “Stockholder Merger Consideration”. The per share Merger Consideration paid to Phunware Stockholders was 0.459 shares of Successor stock for each share of Phunware Stock.

Unless otherwise noted, the financial statements, footnotes, and basic and dilutive net (loss) income per share presented give retroactive effect of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, but these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which are referenced herein. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial

statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2019 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim period.

Going Concern

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (ASC 205-40) requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Under ASC 205-40, management has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, management’s evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company’s assessment included the preparation of a detailed cash forecast that included all projected cash inflows and outflows. Future plans may include utilizing existing credit lines and/or obtaining new credit lines, expanding credit lines, issuing additional equity securities, including the exercise of warrants, issuing convertible notes payable or other debt instruments and reducing overhead expenses. Despite a history of successfully implementing similar plans to alleviate the adverse financial conditions, these sources of working capital are not currently assured, and consequently do not sufficiently mitigate the risks and uncertainties disclosed above. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital needs and support its growth. If additional funding cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, its operations would be materially negatively impacted. The Company has concluded there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018 , other than those described below.

Changes in Accounting Policies

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as amended (“ASU 2014-09” or "ASC 606"), and have revised certain related accounting policies in connection with revenue recognition and deferred costs, as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct, distinct within the context of the contract, and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus

Table of Contents

together may require significant judgment. Judgment is required to determine whether a software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the software support and services and recognized over time.

Platform Subscriptions and Services Revenue

The Company derives subscription revenue from software license fees, which comprise subscription fees from customers licensing the Company’s Software Development Kits (SDKs), which includes accessing the MaaS platform and/or MaaS platform data; application development service revenue from the development of customer applications, or apps, which are built and delivered to customers; and support fees. The Company’s contract terms generally range from 6 to 60 months .

Subscription revenue from SDK licenses gives the customer the right to access the Company’s MaaS platform. In accordance with ASC 606, a ‘right to access’ license is recognized over the license period.

Application development revenue is derived from development services around designing and building new applications or enhancing existing applications. The Company plans to recognize application development revenue upon the transfer of control of the completed application or application development services.

Support and maintenance revenue comprises support fees for customer applications, software updates, and technical support for application development services for a support term. Support revenue is recognized ratably over the support term.

From time to time, the Company also provides professional services by outsourcing employees’ time and materials to customers. Such amounts are typically recorded as the services are delivered.

Application Transaction Revenue

The Company also generates revenue by charging advertisers to deliver advertisements (ads) to users of mobile connected devices. Depending on the specific terms of each advertising contract, the Company generally recognizes revenue based on the activity of mobile users viewing these ads. Fees from advertisers are commonly based on the number of ads delivered or views, clicks, or actions by users on mobile advertisements delivered, and the Company recognizes revenue at the time the user views, clicks, or otherwise acts on the ad. The Company sells ads through several offerings: cost per thousand impressions, on which advertisers are charged for each ad delivered to 1,000 consumers; cost per click, on which advertisers are charged for each ad clicked or touched on by a user; and cost per action, on which advertisers are charged each time a consumer takes a specified action, such as downloading an app. In addition, the Company generates application transaction revenue thru in-app purchases from an application on our platform.

In the normal course of business, the Company acts as an intermediary in executing transactions with third parties. The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in its transactions with advertisers. Control is a determining factor in assessing principal versus agent relation. The determination of whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in a transaction involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of each arrangement. ASC 606 provides indicators of when an entity controls specified goods or services and is therefore acting as a principal. Based on the indicators of control, the Company has determined that it is the principal in all advertising arrangements because it is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified advertisements to advertising agencies or companies; establishing the selling prices of the advertisements sold; and credit risk with its advertising traffic providers. Accordingly, the Company acts as the principal in all advertising arrangements and therefore reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.

The Company records deferred revenue when it receives cash payments from advertiser clients in advance of when the services are performed under the arrangements with the customer. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as revenue only when revenue recognition criteria are met.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Items subject to the use of estimates include revenue recognition for contract completion, useful lives of long-lived assets including intangibles, valuation of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, reserves and certain accrued liabilities, determination of the provision for income taxes, and fair value of equity instruments.

Table of Contents

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Restricted shares subject to repurchase provisions relating to early exercises under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan were excluded from basic shares outstanding.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 , diluted earnings per share was computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including those related to the Company’s outstanding warrants and options, to the extent dilutive. For all other periods presented, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for those periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. Although the Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with established financial institutions that management believes have good credit ratings and represent minimal risk of loss of principal, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable, and the Company believes the carrying value approximates fair value.

The following table sets forth the Company's concentration of revenue sources as a percentage of total net revenues.



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Fox Networks Group	57	%	22	%	59	%	33	%
Fetch Media, Ltd.	—	%	45	%	—	%	33	%
Houston Methodist	8	%	—	%	11	%	—	%
Cisco	—	%	12	%	—	%	9	%

The following table sets forth the Company's concentration of accounts receivable, net of specific allowances for doubtful accounts.

Fox Networks Group	46	%	66	%
American Made Media	15	%	—	%

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 .

As a result of the Series A Financing (defined and discussed further below), the Company had $5,500 in restricted cash as of December 31, 2018 . The Company did not have any restricted cash as of June 30, 2019 .

Accounts Receivable and Reserves

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and records a bad debt allowance for receivables when collection becomes doubtful. The allowances are based upon historical loss patterns, current and prior trends in its aged receivables, credit memo activity, and specific circumstances of individual receivable balances.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Accounts receivable	$	6,882		$	6,882
Less allowances for doubtful accounts	(3,336		)	(3,276		)
Balance	$	3,546		$	3,606

Allowance for doubtful accounts related to the Company’s litigation with Uber was $3,089 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . (See Note 6 for more discussion on the Uber litigation.)

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company periodically re-evaluates the original assumptions and rationale utilized in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of all of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the asset to the Company’s business objective. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018 , respectively.

Deferred Revenue

The Company’s deferred revenue balance consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Current deferred revenue
Platform subscriptions and services revenue	$	2,008	$	1,506
Application transaction revenue	93		133
PhunCoin deposits	—		990
Total current deferred revenue	$	2,101	$	2,629

Non-current deferred revenue
Platform subscriptions and services revenue	$	5,048	$	5,622
Total non-current deferred revenue	$	5,048	$	5,622
Total deferred revenue	$	7,149	$	8,251

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2019, Phunware announced the launch of a separate token, Phun, in addition to its current token, PhunCoin. As a result of this expanded dual token structure, the Company believes the economic substance and business characteristics of all previously issued PhunCoin Rights changed such that PhunCoin would be the investment vehicle in the Company's blockchain-enabled data exchange. As a result, the Company has reclassified all PhunCoin deposits from deferred revenue to a separate line item, "PhunCoin deposits," on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 .

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current authoritative guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The Company elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, we adopted the ASU and related guidance as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method.

The most significant impact of the standard relates to the elimination of the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value to separate and recognize revenue for products and services in a contract. The elimination of the VSOE requirement causes a significant change to the timing of revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements with our MaaS subscriptions, application development services and related support and maintenance on the development services that lacked VSOE of fair value. Under ASC 606, we recognize the application development services at the time of delivery to our customer and recognize the license subscription and support services ratably over the term of the subscription agreements. Under ASC 605, we recognized all revenue from those arrangements ratably over the term of the subscription or support agreements. Due to the complexity of our revenue contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard depends on contract-specific terms and in some instances may vary from recognition at the time of delivery. The timing of revenue recognized from professional services for our MaaS licenses, professional services, support and maintenance and hardware remains substantially unchanged.

In addition, Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, or ASC 340, requires us to recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if our sales incentive programs meet the requirements for capitalization. Previously we recorded these incremental costs of obtaining a contract as commission expense when we booked a sales transaction; whereas under ASC 340, we record an asset for the incremental cost to obtain a contract and recognize the cost over the period commensurate with revenue recognition.

When implementing ASC 606, the Company applied the practical expedient to reflect the aggregate effect of all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019 when identifying satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.

In connection with our adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2019, there was an increase to the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities and an offsetting reduction in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. No income tax impact was recorded to retained earnings upon adoption as a result of the full valuation allowance on United States deferred tax assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , there is no income tax expense or benefit recorded as a result of the adoption of the ASC 606.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18), which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2019 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance changed the presentation of restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 . There was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. The Company adopted this disclosure beginning with its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position. 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. Under current U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis for all operating leases, taking into account fixed accelerations, as well as reasonably assured renewal periods. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous generally accepted accounting principles. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. 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. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 provides a new framework for entities to determine whether a set of assets and activities (together referred to as “a set”) is a business. The amendments in the ASU will assist entities when they evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) either of businesses or of assets. This distinction is important since there are significant differences between the accounting for business combinations and the accounting for acquisitions of assets. Public business entities should apply the amendments to Topic 805 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. As the Company is an emerging growth company, it has elected to defer implementation. The Company does not believe there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step; comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 improves the effectiveness of disclosures about fair value measurements required under ASC 820. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU has on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Reverse Merger

On February 27, 2018, Phunware entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”) with Stellar Acquisition III, Inc. (“Stellar”). On December 26, 2018, the Company consummated the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Reverse Merger and Recapitalization”). In connection with the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, the registrant changed its name from Stellar Acquisition III, Inc. to Phunware, Inc. (“Successor”). Furthermore, the holders of Phunware’s preferred stock converted all of their issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of Phunware common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization (the “Effective Time”): (i) all shares of Phunware common stock and preferred stock (the “Phunware Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Exchange) converted into the right to receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration (as defined below); (ii) each outstanding warrant to acquire shares of Phunware Stock was cancelled, retired and terminated in exchange for the right to receive from the Successor a new warrant for shares of Successor common stock with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion of the shares of Phunware Stock into the Stockholder Merger Consideration, but with terms otherwise the same as the Phunware warrant (each, a “Replacement Warrant”); and (iii) each outstanding option to acquire Phunware Stock (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by the Successor and automatically converted into an option to acquire shares of Successor common stock, with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion of the shares of Phunware Stock into the Stockholder Merger Consideration (each, an “Assumed Option”). The shares of Successor common stock and the Transferred Sponsor Warrants transferred to Phunware stockholders are collectively referred to as “Stockholder Merger Consideration”. The aggregate merger consideration paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement to Phunware stockholders amounted to approximately $301 million plus adjustments for cash on-hand as of the date of Closing. The merger consideration paid to Phunware stockholders was paid in the form of shares of Successor common stock. In addition, each holder of Phunware common and convertible preferred stock was entitled to elect to receive such holder’s pro rata share of up to an aggregate of 3,985,244 warrants (the “Transfer Sponsor Warrants”) to purchase shares of Successor common stock that were held by certain shareholders of Stellar. The Transfer Sponsor Warrants have the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants described in more detail in Note 9 below. The per share Merger Consideration paid to Phunware Stockholders was 0.459 shares of Successor stock for each share of Phunware Stock.

As consideration for the Transfer Sponsor Warrants transferred to Phunware shareholders, a promissory note was issued to the Sponsors (the “Transfer Sponsor Warrant Note”). The amount of the note was approximately $1,993 , which represented $0.50 per warrant transferred to former stockholders of Phunware. The Transfer Sponsor Warrant Note bore no interest and was to mature on December 26, 2019. Shareholders of Phunware forfeited 187,188 shares to receive 3,985,244 Transfer Sponsor Warrants. On January 15, 2019, the Transfer Sponsor Warrant Note was waived and forgiven by the noteholders.

The Company issued 2,211,572 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsors as repayment in full for certain promissory notes (not the Transfer Sponsor Warrant Note) at the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. In connection with the consummation of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, certain holders of shares of Stellar common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash. As a result of these redemptions, the cash proceeds to the Company as a result of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization was $0.4 million before transaction costs.

In addition, 6,000 shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $6.0 million from the Series A 8% convertible preferred stock financing (“Series A Financing”) were issued in conjunction with the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. In connection with the Series A Financing, certain Stellar shareholders transferred an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Stellar common stock and 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of Stellar common stock to the Series A Financing investor, and 181,391 shares to certain service providers. See Note 8 for additional discussion on the Series A Financing.

4. Factoring Agreement

On June 15, 2016 the Company entered into a factoring agreement with CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. (d/b/a Bay View Funding) (“Bay View”) whereby it sells select accounts receivable with recourse.

Under the terms of the agreement, Bay View may make advances to the Company of amounts representing up to 80% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable. The factor facility is collateralized by a general security agreement over all the Company’s personal property and interests. Fees paid to Bay View for factored receivables are 1.80% for the first 30 days and 0.65% for every ten days thereafter, to a maximum of 90 days total outstanding. The Company bears the risk of credit loss on the receivables. These receivables are accounted for as a secured borrowing arrangement and not as a sale of financial assets.

The Company's factor expense is recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of net income (loss). Factor expense totaled $146 and $332 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $179 and $380 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.

The amount of factored receivables outstanding was $1,775 and $2,434 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. There was $1,225 and $566 available for future advances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

5. Convertible Notes

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company’s board of directors authorized the issuance of $20 million of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), which may be paid by investors in the form of cash or, in the Company’s sole discretion, cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The Notes will be sold and issued only to accredited investors, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Notes bear ordinary interest at a rate of 7% per annum. Interest under the Notes is payable quarterly beginning on September 30, 2019, and interest and principal under the Notes is payable monthly beginning on June 30, 2021. However, at the holder’s election, interest payments may be deferred until the earlier of (i) repayment in full of all remaining unpaid principal, and (ii) conversion. The notes mature on June 3, 2024.

The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Each Note will convert voluntarily upon a holder’s election, or automatically upon the occurrence of the following events: (a) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $17.25 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, and (b) a registration statement is then in effect covering the disposition of the converted shares.

On June 3, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor for the sale of a Note. The sale of this Note constituted an initial closing on June 3, 2019, and the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $250 . The Company may hold subsequent closings until June 2, 2020. The Company may not issue Notes under the Purchase Agreement in excess of $20 million , in the aggregate, unless otherwise agreed by the holders of a majority in interest of the principal outstanding under the Notes.

The balance of outstanding Notes is $250 as of June 30, 2019 . Interest expense related to the Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , and interest payable under the Note as of June 30, 2019 is immaterial .

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has operating office space leases in Austin, Texas; Newport Beach (Orange County), California; San Diego, California; and Miami, Florida. Rent expense under operating leases totaled $166 and $331 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $153 and $305 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.

Future minimum annual lease payments as of June 30, 2019 under the Company’s operating leases are set forth as follows:

Litigation

On September 26, 2017, we filed a breach of contract complaint against Uber Technologies, Inc. seeking approximately $3 million (plus interest) for unpaid invoices for advertising campaign services provided for Uber in the first quarter of 2017. The case, captioned Phunware, Inc. v. Uber Technologies, Inc., Case No. CGC-17-561546 was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California County of San Francisco. On November 13, 2017, Uber generally denied the allegations in our complaint and also filed a cross-complaint against us and Fetch - the advertising agency Uber retained to run its mobile advertising campaign for the period 2014 through the first quarter of 2017 (the “Fetch Campaign”), asserting numerous fraud and contract-based claims. All the claims stem from Uber’s allegation that Fetch and/or we (and/or other-as-yet-unidentified ad networks and publishers) are liable for the Fetch Campaign, under which Uber allegedly overpaid Fetch and mobile advertising providers due to allegedly fraudulent attribution for installments of the Uber application. Uber did not allege any specific dollar amount that it is seeking in damages against either of the named cross-defendants (Fetch and Phunware). We filed a motion to dismiss the cross-complaint, which was heard on February 7, 2018. The motion was granted in part and denied in part by the Court. On April 16, 2018, the action was designated complex, and the matter was assigned for all purposes to Judge Wiss of the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County (Department 305). In March 2019, Uber and Fetch settled Uber’s claims against Fetch on terms that have not been disclosed to Phunware at this time. On May 7, 2019, we retained new counsel. In June 2019, the Court set a new trial date of April 20, 2020. Discovery is continuing. On June 26, 2019, the case was reassigned for all purposes to Judge Jackson of the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County (Department 613). On July 12, 2019, Uber filed its First Amended Cross-Complaint, naming new individual cross-defendants (Phunware Chief Executive Officer Alan S. Knitowski, and former Phunware employees D. Stasiuk, M. Borotsik, and A. Cook) accused of civil RICO violations and civil conspiracy to violate RICO, in addition to fraud, negligence, and unfair competition-based claims, and adding a fraud-based claim against Phunware. Uber’s First Amended Cross-Complaint alleges that cross-defendants fraudulently obtained approximately $17 million from Uber, and claims treble damages, general and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. We maintain that our claims against Uber are meritorious and that Uber’s claims against us are not. However, we make no predictions on the likelihood of success of prevailing on our contract action against Uber or on the likelihood of defeating Uber’s claims against us.

From time to time, the Company is and may become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The outcomes of our legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular reporting period. In addition, for the matters disclosed above that do not include an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses, such an estimate is not possible, and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of non-monetary remedies.

7. PhunCoin & PhunToken

PhunCoin

In June 2018, PhunCoin, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, launched an offering pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D (the "Reg D Offering") as promulgated under the Securities Act of rights (the “Rights”) to acquire a security token denominated as "PhunCoin". In addition, in 2019, we commenced an offering of Rights pursuant to Regulation CF (the "Reg CF Offering").

PhunCoin, Inc. accepts payment in the form of cash and digital currencies for purchases of the Rights. PhunCoin, Inc. plans to sell between $10 million and $100 million of the Rights, which will entitle the Rights holders to receive between approximately 8 billion and 30.5 billion of PhunCoin. The amount of PhunCoin to be issued to the purchaser is equal to the dollar amount paid by the purchaser divided by the price of PhunCoin at the time of issuance of the PhunCoin during the Token Generation Event (as defined below) before taking into consideration an applicable discount rate, which is based on the time of the purchase (early purchasers will receive a larger discount rate).

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has received aggregate cash proceeds from the Reg D Offering and Reg CF Offering of $1.2 million , pursuant to which the holders of the Rights will receive an aggregate of approximately 577.9 million PhunCoin if the Token Generation Event occurs. The Reg CF Offering closed May 1, 2019, while the Reg D Offering is ongoing.

The rights, privileges, and obligations of Rights holders are set forth as follows:

Issuance of PhunCoin

PhunCoin is expected to be issued to Rights holders the earlier of (i) the launch (the "Token Generation Event") of PhunCoin, Inc.’s blockchain technology enabled data exchange (the “Token Ecosystem”), or (ii) the date PhunCoin, Inc. determines that it has the ability to enforce resale restrictions with respect to PhunCoin pursuant to applicable federal securities laws. Proceeds from the Rights offering are generally not refundable if the Token Generation Event is not consummated; however, the Company believes PhunCoin, Inc. has a contractual obligation to use good faith efforts to issue PhunCoin to Rights holders under the Token Rights Agreement.

The Company currently anticipates that PhunCoin will be issued to the holders of the Rights after the one year period from when the earliest Rights were acquired by the holders (which was June 2018). Holders of the Rights may be issued PhunCoin even if the Token Ecosystem is not yet operational. PhunCoin will have no usefulness until the Token Ecosystem is operational because PhunCoin is expected to only be useable on the Token Ecosystem.

There can be no assurance as to when (or if) the Company will be able to successfully launch the Token Ecosystem. The Company is currently developing multiple aspects of the Token Ecosystem and expects that a review (beta) period will likely conclude during the third quarter of 2019. The final software readiness date of the Token Ecosystem may be adjusted based on user feedback provided in the review (beta) period and thus a specific launch date is difficult to determine at this time, as it is based on many external factors outside of our control.

Termination of the Token Rights Agreement

Termination of the Token Rights Agreement occurs on the earlier of (i) PhunCoin being issued to the Rights holder pursuant to the provisions noted above, (ii) the payment, or setting aside of payment with respect to a dissolution event (as described below), or (iii) twelve months from the date of the Token Rights Agreement with the Rights holder, which PhunCoin, Inc. may extend at its sole discretion if a Token Generation Event has not occurred. Upon termination of the Token Rights Agreement, PhunCoin, Inc. has no further obligation to the Rights holder. PhunCoin, Inc. has extended the termination date of the Token Rights Agreement.

Dissolution Event

A dissolution event occurs if there has been (i) a voluntary termination of PhunCoin, Inc.’s operations, (ii) a general assignment for the benefit of PhunCoin, Inc.’s creditors, (iii) a change of U.S. laws that makes the use or issuance of PhunCoin or the Token Generation Event impractical or unfeasible, or (iv) any other liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PhunCoin, Inc.

In the event a dissolution event occurs prior to the termination of the Token Rights Agreement, if there are any remaining proceeds from the Rights offering that have not been utilized by PhunCoin, Inc. in its operations or for the development of the PhunCoin Ecosystem, such remaining proceeds would be distributed pro rata to purchasers in the Rights offering following any distributions to holders of PhunCoin, Inc.’s capital stock or debt, if any.

No Voting Rights or Profit Share

Rights holders (and eventual PhunCoin holders) have no voting rights and are not entitled to share in the profits or residual interest of Phunware, PhunCoin, Inc. or any subsidiaries of the Company. However, PhunCoin holders will be provided fractional interests in the Token Ecosystem, including ongoing monthly PhunCoin dividends to PhunCoin holders, based on their respective pro rata ownership percentage of PhunCoin, totaling 2.5% of the monthly credits purchased by Phunware customers.

PhunToken ("Phun")

During the second quarter of 2019, Phunware announced the launch of a separate token, Phun, which is meant to act as a medium of exchange within the Token Ecosystem. Phun will be issued through a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary, Phun Token International, available initially only to persons outside of the United States and Canada. Consumers may receive Phun

Table of Contents

for actively engaging in marketing campaigns; developers and publishers may receive Phun for utilizing Phunware’s loyalty software development kit in order to better engage, manage and monetize their consumers; and brands will gain access to more relevant, verifiable data by accessing Phunware’s data exchange and using Phun for their own loyalty programs. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has not sold any Phun.

8. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the consummation of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Phunware issued 6,000 shares to a single investor for aggregate cash proceeds of $6.0 million from the Series A 8% convertible preferred stock financing (“Series A Financing”) with stated value of $1,000 per share. The Company deposited $5.5 million of the $6 million proceeds into a restricted escrow account in accordance with the securities purchase agreement entered into with the investor.

The shares were mandatorily redeemable in cash at the following schedule; (i) 104% of the aggregate value of three thousand ( 3,000 ) shares on the 30 day anniversary of the issuance; (ii) 104% of the aggregate value of two thousand five hundred ( 2,500 ) shares on the 60th anniversary of the original issue; and (iii) 104% of the aggregate value of five hundred ( 500 ) shares of the 90th anniversary of the original issue.

The Preferred Stock was also convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits and other recapitalization type events and antidilutive events which would include subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at prices more favorable than the conversion price of these preferred shares. Generally, the Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. The holder did not convert any of the Series A convertible preferred stock prior to the redemption dates.

On the 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day anniversaries of the issuance, the holder redeemed an aggregate of 6,000 shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock for total proceeds of $6,240 , representing $6,000 original issue price and $240 of dividends. Of the proceeds paid to the holder, $5.5 million was paid from the restricted cash account, and $740 from the Company’s operating account.

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company the Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive assets ahead of the Company’s common stockholders. Total preferred stock authorized to be issued as of June 30, 2019 was 100,000,000 , with a par value of $0.0001 per share. There were 0 and 6,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Total common stock authorized to be issued as of June 30, 2019 was 1,000,000,000 , with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there were 38,927,776 and 27,294,164 shares outstanding, inclusive of 25,230 and 40,707 restricted shares subject to repurchase for unvested shares related to early option exercises under the Company’s stock equity plans, respectively.

During fiscal year 2018 , the Company completed several closings of stock financings resulting in the issuance of 1,085,096 shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $9,565 , net of issuance costs.

During 2019 , the Company issued an aggregate of 11,530,442 shares of common stock related to various cash and cashless (net) exercises of warrants for common stock. Cash exercises for warrants for 617,296 shares of common stock resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6,184 , of which $6,092 was received in cash, $92 was received in digital currencies. Furthermore, there were 13,975,359 warrants exercised under cashless (net) provisions resulting in the issuance of 10,913,146 shares of common stock. See further discussion regarding details of the Company’s various warrants below.

Dividends

Dividends are paid on a when-and-if-declared basis. The Company has not declared any dividends through June 30, 2019 .

In 2012, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 14,866 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $5.54 per share to a banking institution with which the Company previously had a revolving line of credit. The term of the warrant is the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance, (ii) the closing of the initial registered public offering of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) the closing of an acquisition (as defined in the warrant) where the consideration consisting of cash or publicly traded securities payable in connection with the acquisition for each share is at least three (3)times the exercise price. The Reverse Merger and Recapitalization did not trigger an expiration of the warrant pursuant to term (ii) or (iii) above. The warrant is fully vested.

In 2018 , but prior to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,085,059 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $9.22 per share. The term of the warrants is the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, (ii) an acquisition, merger, or consolidation of the Company or a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Phunware and its subsidiaries, except (a) any sale of stock for capital raising purposes, (b) purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation, and (c) where the shareholders of Phunware immediately before such transaction retain at least a majority of the voting power immediately following such transaction; or (iii) immediately prior to an initial public offering. The Reverse Merger and Recapitalization did not trigger an expiration of the warrant pursuant to term (ii) or (iii) above. These warrants are fully vested.

The Company has common stock warrants trading under the Nasdaq ticker symbol PHUNW (the “Public Warrants”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants became exercisable for cash 30 days after the completion of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. In addition, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants was not filed with the SEC and declared effective within 90 days from the consummation the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, holders were entitled to exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Company was unable to have the registration statement declared effective by the 90-day deadline, although it was declared effective on May 14, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 , 5,139,319 Public Warrants have been exercised on a cashless basis that resulted in the issuance of 2,951,741 shares. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company also has Private Placement Warrants outstanding (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option and will not be redeemable in each case so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates.

Unit Purchase Option ("UPOs")

Table of Contents

The Company sold to the underwriters for its initial public offering in 2016 an option to purchase up to a total of 130,000 units, at an exercise price of $11.50 per unit. The units are comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase common stock. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, at any time during the period commencing on the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Company’s initial public offering in 2016 . The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the UPO and underlying ordinary shares) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of cash. As of June 30, 2019, all UPOs had been exercised, and 24,172 warrants related to the UPO exercise remained outstanding.

PhunCoin Warrant

In 2018 , the Company issued warrants to to sixty-eight ( 68 ) stockholders to receive an aggregate of approximately 27.4 billion PhunCoin. Should the Company complete a Token Generation Event, the stockholders would receive their requisite amount of PhunCoin. The Company believes there is no traditional “exercise period” or ‘term” as with other typical embedded features, and the PhunCoin warrants were originally issued in conjunction with the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock financing. The PhunCoin warrants lack characteristics of financial instruments and derivatives. In addition, the PhunCoin warrants do not obligate the Company to achieve the Token Generation Event or launch and distribute PhunCoin to the warrantholders. At the time of the PhunCoin warrant issuance, there was no market for PhunCoin, and they did not exist. Accordingly, the Company determined there was no value assigned to the PhunCoin warrants issued to the stockholders. As of June 30, 2019 , no PhunCoin had been issued to the PhunCoin warrantholders.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the consummation of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purposes of the 2018 Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants who perform services to the Company, and to promote the success of our business. These incentives are provided through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares.

The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan will also include an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year, equal to the lesser of: (i) 10% of the post-closing outstanding shares of common stock; (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or (iii) such other amount as our board of directors may determine.

In addition, the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan also will include any shares of common stock subject to stock options, restricted stock units or similar awards granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), that, on or after the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, are assumed in connection with the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and shares of common stock issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2009 Plan that, on or after the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, are forfeited to or repurchased by us. As of June 30, 2019 , the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be added to the 2018 Plan pursuant to the foregoing equals 1,954,306 .

During the second quarter of 2019, we granted 620,363 restricted stock units to employees and 45,000 restricted stock units to non-employee directors, each with a grant date fair value of $7.34 per share. The awards granted to team members vest over eighteen months in three equal installments on May 18, 2020, August 18, 2020, and November 18, 2020, respectively, and are subject to service conditions. The awards granted to non-employee directors vest in two equal installments on July 1, 2019 and December 26, 2019, respectively, and are subject to service conditions.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit activity under the 2018 Plan is set forth below:

Granted	665,363	7.34
Released	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Outstanding as of June 30, 2019	665,363	$	7.34

The 2018 Plan had 2,403,321 and 2,729,416 shares of common stock reserved for issuance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Also, in connection with the consummation of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2018 ESPP”). The 2018 ESPP will be administered by our board of directors or a committee appointed by the board (the “administrator”). The purpose of the 2018 ESPP is to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock through accumulated contributions. The 2018 ESPP permits participants to purchase shares of common stock through contributions (generally in the form of payroll deductions) of up to an amount of their eligible compensation determined by the administrator. Subject to certain other limitations or unless otherwise determined by the administrator, a participant may purchase a maximum of 2,000 shares of common stock during a purchase period. The offering periods under the 2018 ESPP will begin on such date as determined by the administrator and expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the purchase of shares on the last exercise date occurring within 27 months of the applicable enrollment date of the offering period on which the purchase right was granted, or (b) a shorter period established by the administrator prior to an enrollment date for all options to be granted on such enrollment date. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase shares of common stock on each exercise date. The purchase price of the shares will be determined by the administrator but in no event will be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date. Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering period and will be paid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of common stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the Company.

The number of shares of common stock that may be made available for sale under the 2018 ESPP also includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning for the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the first enrollment date (if any) occurs equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the expected post-closing outstanding shares of common stock; (ii) 1.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; or such other amount as the administrator may determine.

As of June 30, 2019 , the Company has not consummated an enrollment or offering period related to the 2018 ESPP. The 2018 ESPP had 272,942 shares of common stock available for sale and reserved for issuance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

2009 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2009, the Company adopted its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which allowed for the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, to employees, directors, and consultants. The exercise price of the options granted was generally equal to the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The awards are exercisable and vest, generally over four years, in accordance with each option agreement. The term of each option is no more than ten years from the date of the grant. The Plan allows for options to be immediately exercisable, subject to the Company’s right of repurchase for unvested shares at the original exercise price. The total amount received in exchange for these shares has been included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is reclassified to equity as the shares vest. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 25,230 and 40,707 shares were unvested amounting to $17 and $34 in accrued expenses, respectively. Effective with the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, no additional grants will be made under the Plan.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity under the Plan and related information is as follows:

We currently do not expect to be profitable in the near future.

Key Business Metrics

Our management regularly monitors certain financial measures to track the progress of its business against internal goals and targets. We believe that the most important of these measures include backlog and deferred revenue and dollar-based revenue retention rate.

Backlog and Deferred Revenue. Backlog represents future amounts to be invoiced under our current agreements. At any point in the contract term, there can be amounts that we have not yet been contractually able to invoice. Until such time as these amounts are invoiced, they are not recorded in revenues, deferred revenue, accounts receivable or elsewhere in our consolidated financial statements, and are considered by us to be backlog. We expect backlog to fluctuate up or down from period to period for several reasons, including the timing and duration of customer contracts, varying billing cycles and the timing and duration of customer renewals.

In addition, our deferred revenue consists of amounts that have been invoiced but that have not yet been recognized as revenues as of the end of a reporting period. Together, the sum of deferred revenue and backlog represents the total billed and unbilled contract value yet to be recognized in revenues, and provides visibility into future revenue streams.

The following table sets forth the backlog and deferred revenue:



	Period Ended
	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(in thousands)
Backlog	$	11,352	$	16,730
Deferred revenue	7,149		8,251
Total backlog and deferred revenue	$	18,501	$	24,981

Table of Contents

Dollar-based Revenue Retention Rate, based on platform subscriptions and services revenue. Phunware calculated dollar-based revenue retention rate, based on platform subscriptions and services revenue, expressed as a percentage, by dividing total revenue in the current 12-month period from those customers who were customers during the prior 12-month period by total revenue from the customers in the prior 12-month period. Phunware believes that our ability to retain our customers and expand their use of our solutions over time is an indicator of the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships. Our revenue retention rate provides insight into the impact on current period revenue of the number of new customers acquired during the prior 12-month period, the timing of our implementation of those new customers, growth in the usage of our solutions by our existing customers and customer attrition. If our revenue retention rate for a period exceeds 100%, this means that the revenue retained during the period including expansion and upsells more than offset the revenue that we lost from customers that did not renew their contracts during the period. Our revenue retention rate may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our platform, pricing, economic conditions or overall reductions in our customers’ spending levels.

The following table sets forth the dollar-based revenue retention rates:



	Period Ended June 30,
	2019		2018
Dollar-based revenue retention rate	89	%	132	%

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures (i) to compare operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for its employees, (iii) for planning purposes including the preparation of its internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of operational strategies. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as management.

For more information about Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net revenues, gross profit and net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), to Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the section titled “ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures .”

(1)	Adjusted Net Revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that Adjusted Net Revenues provides helpful information for management and investors regarding past performance and future results. We define Adjusted Net Revenues by excluding items from net revenues that are one-time in nature including, but not limited to, forfeited customer deposits and contract settlements.

(2)

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin provide supplemental information with respect to gross profit and gross margin regarding ongoing performance. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as net revenues less cost of revenue, adjusted to exclude one-time revenue adjustments, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Adjusted Net Revenues.

Table of Contents

(3)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of our business that is not dependent on (i) the impact of our capitalization structure and (ii) items that are not part of day-to-day operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, and further adjusted for (v) one-time revenue adjustments, and (vi) stock-based compensation expense.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to net revenues, gross profit and net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net revenue or net income (loss), as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin

Table of Contents

and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:


•	Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period;


•	Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations, and;


•	other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations to Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA by relying primarily on GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA only for supplemental purposes. Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA include adjustments for items that may not occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other peer companies over time. For example, it is useful to exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and these expenses can vary significantly across periods due to timing of new stock-based awards. We may also exclude certain discrete, unusual, one-time, or non-cash costs, including transaction costs and the income tax impact of adjustments in order to facilitate a more useful period-over-period comparison of our financial performance. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph help management with a measure of our operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations or are non-cash expenses.

Components of Results of Operations

There are a number of factors that impact the revenue and margin profile of the services and technology offerings we provide, including, but not limited to, solution and technology complexity, technical expertise requiring the combination of products and types of services provided, as well as other elements that may be specific to a particular client solution.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Platform Subscriptions and Services Revenue. Subscription revenue is derived from software license fees, which comprise subscription fees from customers licensing the Company’s Software Development Kits (SDKs), which includes accessing the MaaS platform and/or MaaS platform data; application development service revenue from the development of customer applications, or apps, which are built and delivered to customers; and support fees.

Subscription revenue from SDK licenses gives the customer the right to access the Company’s MaaS platform. Application development revenue is derived from development services around designing and building new applications or enhancing existing applications. Support revenue comprises of support and maintenance fees of customer applications, software updates, and technical support for application development services for a support term.

From time to time, the Company also provides professional services by outsourcing employees’ time and materials to customers.

Platform subscriptions and services gross profit is equal to subscriptions and services revenue less the cost of personnel and related costs for our support and professional services employees, external consultants, stock-based compensation and allocated overhead. Costs associated with our development and project management teams are generally recognized as incurred. Costs directly attributable to the development or support of applications relating to platform subscription customers are included in cost of sales, whereas costs related to the ongoing development and maintenance of Phunware’s MaaS platform are expensed in research and development. As a result, platform subscriptions and services gross profit may fluctuate from period to period.

Application Transaction Revenue. We also generate revenue by charging advertisers to deliver advertisements (ads) to users of mobile connected devices. Depending on the specific terms of each advertising contract, we generally recognize revenue based on the activity of mobile users viewing these ads. Fees from advertisers are commonly based on the number of

Table of Contents

ads delivered or views, clicks, or actions by users on mobile advertisements delivered, and we recognize revenue at the time the user views, clicks, or otherwise acts on the ad. We sell ads through several offerings: cost per thousand impressions, cost per click, and cost per action. In addition, we generate application transaction revenue thru in-app purchases from application on our platform.

Application transaction gross profit is equal to application transaction revenue less cost of revenue associated with application transactions. Application transaction gross profit is impacted by the cost of direct premium, performance and network cost as well as based on the activity of mobile users viewing ads and marketing engagements through mobile applications. As a result, our application transaction gross profit may fluctuate from period to period due to variable activity of mobile users.

Gross Margin

Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross margin is generally impacted by the same factors that affect changes in the mix of subscriptions and services and application transactions.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense is comprised of compensation, commission expense, variable incentive pay and benefits related to sales personnel, along with travel expenses, other employee related costs, including share based compensation and expenses related to marketing programs and promotional activities.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense is comprised of compensation and benefits of administrative personnel, including variable incentive pay and share-based compensation, bad debt expenses and other administrative costs such as facilities expenses, professional fees and travel expenses. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and listing standards of Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increase the size of our general and administrative function to support the growth of our business. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation costs and overhead allocation. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important for our growth. We expect our research and development expenses will increase as our business grows.

Interest and Other Expense

Interest expense and other income (expense) include interest expense associated with our factoring financing arrangement. We also may seek financing arrangements (including our convertible notes) in the future with the proceeds from additional debt incurrences, which may have an impact on our interest expense.

Income Tax Benefit

We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, state income taxes net of federal income tax effect and nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will vary depending on permanent non-deductible expenses and other factors.

Platform subscriptions and services revenue decreased $1.4 million , or (21.0)% , primarily because the Company recorded revenue in the corresponding period of 2018 related to two one-time items: $1.6 million related to a partner arrangement, and $0.5 million related to a customer contract settlement. The decrease was partially offset by the fulfillment of contracts related to new and existing customers. Application transaction revenue decreased $7.3 million , or (94.6)% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to the corresponding period in 2018 , primarily because in the corresponding period in 2018 , an application transaction partner released the Company from a liability of $6.3 million (which the Company then recorded as revenue), and various decreased or ceased advertising campaigns.

Platform subscriptions and services revenue decreased $0.5 million , or (5.2)% , primarily because, as discussed above, the Company recorded revenue in the corresponding period in 2018 related to two one-time items: $1.6 million related to a partner arrangement, and $0.5 million related to a customer contract settlement. The decreases for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were mostly offset by an increase of $1.6 million related to the fulfillment of contracts related to new and existing customers. Application transaction revenue decreased $7.8 million, or (89.5)% , six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to the corresponding period in 2018 , primarily because in the corresponding period in 2018 , an application transaction partner released the Company from a liability of $6.3 million (which the Company then recorded as revenue), and various decreased or ceased advertising campaigns.

Operating Activities

The primary source of cash from operating activities is receipts from the sale of platform subscriptions and services and application transactions to customers. The primary uses of cash from operating activities are payments to employees for compensation and related expenses, publishers and other vendors for the purchase of digital media inventory and related costs, sales and marketing expenses and general operating expenses.

The Company utilized $5.9 million of cash from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , primarily resulting from a net loss of $6.6 million , as adjusted $0.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.1 million for allowance for doubtful receivables and $0.4 million for stock-based compensation. In addition, certain changes in our operating

Table of Contents

assets and liabilities resulted in significant cash increases (decreases) as follows: $(0.8) million from a decrease in accounts payable, $0.3 million from an increase in accrued expenses, and $0.6 million from an increase in deferred revenue.

The Company utilized $6.0 million of cash from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 , primarily resulting from a net loss of $2.7 million , as adjusted for non-cash charges related to the impairment of digital currencies of $0.3 million , $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.1 million for change in fair value of warrants, $0.2 million for stock-based compensation and $0.1 million for allowance for doubtful receivables. In addition, certain changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in significant cash increases (decreases) as follows: $2.1 million from an increase in accounts payable and $(6.5) million from a decrease in accrued expenses, $1.5 million from an increase in accounts receivable, $(1.0) million from a decrease in deferred revenue, $0.5 million from an increase in warrant liability, $0.1 million from an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and $(0.9) million from a decrease of deferred merger cost.

Investing Activities

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of the sale of digital currencies received for warrant exercises. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of an issuance of a note receivable and sale of digital currencies.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted primarily of the proceeds from warrant exercises, and utilizations of the Company’s financing factoring agreement, as well as redemptions and dividends of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The Company utilized $0.3 million of cash from financing activities, primarily as follows: $(6.2) million from redemptions and dividend payments of Series A convertible preferred stock, $(0.7) million of repayments from the Company’s factoring financing agreement; offset by $6.1 million provided by warrant exercise, $0.3 million provided from convertible notes borrowings and $0.2 million from PhunCoin deposits.

Financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of the proceeds from common stock subscriptions and the Company’s financing factoring agreement. The Company acquired $6.1 million of cash from financing activities, primarily as follows: $5.5 million provided by common stock subscriptions, $0.5 million provided by net proceeds from the Company’s factoring financing agreement, and $0.1 million provided from exercises of stock options.

The Company has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Although the Company continues to focus on growing its revenues, it expects these trends to continue into the foreseeable future. We will be required to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings or reduce operating expenses. Despite a history of successfully implementing similar plans to alleviate adverse financial conditions, these sources of working capital are not currently assured. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate such financings on favorable terms or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K, such as the use of unconsolidated subsidiaries, structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, solutions to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for analysis of recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business.

Table of Contents

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With the exception of changes described within Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, we implemented new controls which enabled us to prepare our financial statements under ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis effective for us on January 1, 2019. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as supplemented by the "Risk Factors" section in our prospectus filed with the SEC on May 14, 2019 and the information set forth below. An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described below and within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the prospectus are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles applicable to us.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC, and other various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. For example, in May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. We implemented this guidance in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019. The most significant impact relates to our accounting for subscriptions to our MaaS licenses and application development services, which may potentially make revenue more volatile and difficult to predict. In addition, accounting for commissions is impacted significantly as we have to capitalize and amortize most commissions under the new standard instead of expensing commissions as incurred. Due to the complexity of certain of our contracts, the revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard is dependent on contract-specific terms.

To adopt the new standards, we may have to implement new modules in our accounting system, hire consultants and increase our spending on audit fees, thereby increasing our general and administrative expense. Increased spending related to

Table of Contents

the new revenue standard will continue through at least the first half of 2019 and will likely increase our audit fees on an ongoing basis thereafter. Any difficulties in implementing changes in accounting pronouncements or adequately accounting after adoption could cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could result in regulatory discipline and harm investors’ confidence in us.

We may experience quarterly fluctuations in our operating results due to a number of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations.

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and we expect them to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance and comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. In addition to the other risks described herein, factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include, without limitation:


•	changes in spending on subscriptions, services and application transactions media offerings and services by our current or prospective customers;


•	pricing our technology offerings and services effectively so that we are able to attract and retain customers without compromising our operating results;


•	one-time, non-recurring revenue generating events.

There has been limited precedent set for financial accounting of digital assets. It is unclear how the Company will be required to account for digital assets transactions in the future.

There has been limited precedent set for the financial accounting of digital assets, including accounting for the issuance of our digital assets, PhunCoin and Phun. It is unclear how the Company will be required to account for issuances of its own digital assets and the digital assets it holds on its balance sheet. Furthermore, a change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to restate the Company’s financial statements. Such a restatement could negatively impact the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects or operations of the Company and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies the Company holds or expects to acquire for its own account, including PhunCoin and Phun, to the detriment of the Company's investors.

We intend to raise additional capital to fund a Token Generation Event, pursuant to a Rule 506(c) of Regulation D offering by our wholly-owned subsidiary, PhunCoin, Inc., of rights to receive future PhunCoin. We further intend for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phun Token International, to sell Phun. There can be no assurance that PhunCoin or Phun will ever be issued and, any significant difficulties we, PhunCoin, Inc., or Phun Token International may experience with the offerings of PhunCoin or Phun could result in claims against us. Additionally, the Token Generation Event and the offerings of PhunCoin and Phun could subject us to various other business and regulatory uncertainties.

In June 2018, PhunCoin, Inc. launched an offering to raise capital by offering investors the right to acquire PhunCoin ("Rights") pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act. In addition, in 2019, PhunCoin, Inc. commenced an offering of Rights pursuant to Regulation CF, which closed May 1, 2019. As of August 1, 2019, a total of $1.2 million has been raised in both Rights offerings.

During the second quarter of 2019, Phunware announced the launch of a separate token, Phun, by its wholly owned subsidiary, Phun Token International, which enables consumers to participate in our blockchain-enabled data exchange and mobile loyalty ecosystem. As of June 30, 2019 , no Phun has been sold.

We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause PhunCoin, Inc. and Phun Token International to develop and issue PhunCoin and Phun, but there is no assurance that such efforts will be successful. If the Token Generation Event, defined as the launch of the Token Ecosystem, is not consummated or the Rights offerings of PhunCoin or sales of Phun do not result in substantial proceeds, it could have a material adverse effect on our cash position. If the Token Generation Event is not consummated or Phun is not adopted commercially, we would have to reduce our planned expenditures and/or would require additional funding from other sources in order to carry out our business plan. Also, any significant difficulties we may experience with the Token Generation Event or the development of PhunCoin or Phun could result in claims against us and could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders.

The further development and acceptance of blockchain networks, which are part of a new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain assets would have a material adverse effect on PhunCoin, Inc.'s and Phun Token International's business plans, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders.

The growth of the blockchain industry in general, as well as the networks on which PhunCoin will rely to consummate the Token Generation Event, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The cryptocurrency and cryptosecurities industries as a whole have been characterized by rapid changes and innovations and are constantly evolving. The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and blockchain assets may materially adversely affect our business plans to launch and maintain PhunCoin and Phun. For example, given the regulatory complexity with respect to cryptocurrency and related digital assets, complying with such regulations, which could change in the future or be subject to new interpretations, could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to develop, launch and continue to operate PhunCoin, Phun and the Token Ecosystem. In addition, the tax and accounting consequences to us of the Token Generation Event, PhunCoin and Phun are uncertain, which could lead to incorrect reporting, classification or liabilities. If the Token Generation Event occurs and PhunCoin and Phun are developed, the structural foundation of PhunCoin and Phun, and the software applications and other interfaces or applications upon which PhunCoin, Phun and the Token Ecosystem rely or on which PhunCoin, Phun and the Token Ecosystem may rely in the future, are and will be unproven. There can be no assurances that PhunCoin or Phun will be fully secure, which may result in impermissible transfers, a complete loss of users’ PhunCoin or Phun on the Token Ecosystem, or an unwillingness of users to access, adopt and utilize PhunCoin or Phun, whether through system faults or malicious attacks. Any such faults or attacks on PhunCoin or Phun may materially and adversely affect our business.

Because PhunCoin and Phun will be digital assets built and transacted initially on top of Stellar, an existing blockchain technology, Phunware is reliant on another blockchain network, and users are subject to the risk of wallet incompatibility and blockchain protocol risks.

We have decided to initially use the Stellar blockchain as the underlying blockchain technology to create the Token Ecosystem, although we may choose another blockchain technology in the future. Reliance upon another blockchain technology subjects us and the Token Ecosystem users to the risk of digital wallet incompatibility, or additional ecosystem malfunction, unintended function, unexpected functioning of, or attack on, the Stellar blockchain protocol, which may cause PhunCoin or Phun to malfunction or function in an unexpected manner, including, but not limited to, slowdown or complete cessation in functionality of the network.

The Token Ecosystem is designed to distribute PhunCoin and Phun to consumers in exchange for their agreement to provide certain personal information to us. Providing this data exposes us to risks of privacy data breach and cybersecurity attacks.

We utilize a substantial amount of electronic information. This includes transaction information and sensitive personal information of the users of the Token Ecosystem. The service providers used by us, may also use, store, and transmit such information. While we intend to implement detailed cybersecurity policies and procedures and an incident response plan designed to protect such information and prevent data loss and security breaches, there can be no assurances that such policies and procedures will be effective.

There can be no assurances that PhunCoin, Phun or a user’s data will be fully secure, which may result in impermissible transfer, a complete loss of users’ PhunCoin, Phun or data on the Token Ecosystem, and an unwillingness of users to access, adopt and utilize PhunCoin and Phun, whether through system faults or malicious attacks. Any such faults or attacks on PhunCoin, Phun or users’ data may materially and adversely affect PhunCoin, Phun and the Token Ecosystem. There are a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm the Token Ecosystem’s reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, negatively impact its ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the Token Ecosystem, PhunCoin and Phun. We may be compelled to disclose personal information about a user or users of the Token Ecosystem to federal or state government regulators or taxation authorities. Accordingly, certain information concerning users may be shared outside Phunware.

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, utility tokens, and offerings of digital assets and utility tokens such as PhunCoin and Phun is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development and the value of PhunCoin and Phun.

Table of Contents

Regulation of digital assets, like PhunCoin and Phun, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency exchanges, is currently undeveloped and likely to rapidly evolve as government agencies take greater interest in them. Regulation also varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. For example, Phun will only be initially available to residents outside of the United States and Canada.

Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, or guidance, or take other actions, which may severely impact the permissibility of tokens generally and the technology behind them or the means of transaction or in transferring them. In addition, any violations of laws and regulations relating to the safeguarding of private information in connection with PhunCoin or Phun could subject us to fines, penalties or other regulatory actions, as well as to civil actions by affected parties. Any such violations could adversely affect the ability of Phunware to cause its subsidiaries to maintain PhunCoin or Phun, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Failure by us to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines.

We have a concentration of sales with key customers and any substantial reduction in sales to these customers would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue from Fox Networks Group (“Fox”) was 57% and 59% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. Revenue from Houston Methodist was 8% and 11% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. Fox and Houston Methodist are currently of key importance to our business, and our results of operations would be materially adversely affected if these relationships ceased or were reduced in any material respect. We cannot guarantee that the volume of sales will remain consistent going forward. Any substantial change in purchasing decisions by these customers, whether due to actions by our competitors, industry factors or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current and future litigation could adversely affect us.

We, along with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, are parties to the legal proceedings with Uber described in Item 1 of Part 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We, along with our officers and directors, may also become subject to other legal proceedings in our ordinary course of business. We cannot predict with certainty the outcomes of these legal proceedings. The outcome of some of these legal proceeding could require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions which could negatively affect our operations. Such legal proceedings involve substantial costs, including the costs associated with investigation, litigation and possible settlement, judgment, penalty, or fine. As a smaller company, the collective costs of litigation proceedings represent a drain on our cash resources, and require an inordinate amount of our management’s time and attention. Moreover, an adverse ruling in respect of the Uber or any other litigation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Negative publicity surrounding such legal proceedings may also harm our reputation and adversely impact our business and results.

Our recent reduction in workforce may prevent us from executing initiatives to improve the performance of our business effectively or at all.

We have been and are currently implementing certain initiatives to improve the performance of our business, and our recent reduction in workforce could prevent us from engaging in certain initiatives we had previously considered, and could prevent us from executing such initiatives effectively. On April 12, 2019, we reduced our workforce by 23 persons, or approximately 15%. The reduction in our workforce could prevent us from engaging in certain initiatives to improve the performance of our business, due to an insufficiency of workforce size or an insufficiency of certain required skills, and could prevent us from executing initiatives effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We require significant additional capital funding and such capital may not be available to us.

We expect that our operating expenses will be higher than our net revenues for the foreseeable future, we currently lack sufficient working capital and we do not currently have financing available to pay all liabilities as they are scheduled to come due in the next twelve months. We are working on several contingency plans within our control to conserve existing liquidity through the reduction of discretionary expenses. We are also exploring various alternatives including debt and equity financing vehicles, alternative offerings, and strategic partnerships.

Table of Contents

Our cash requirements relate primarily to our current negative working capital balance plus working capital needed to operate and grow our business, including funding operating expenses and continued development and expansion of our products and services. We are currently unable to fund our operations without additional external financing and therefore cannot sustain future operations. As such, we may be required to delay, reduce and/or cease our operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Although we have successfully raised funds from investors in the past, no assurances can be made that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional capital to satisfy the current negative working capital balances and future operations. Furthermore, if adequate additional funds are not available, we will be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate material parts of the implementation of our business strategy, including potential additional acquisitions or internally-developed businesses, which could seriously harm our business and operating results.

Additionally, even if we raise sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financings, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable us to develop our business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. The debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets and the terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on our operations. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Our warrants may and have been exercised on a cashless basis. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of our future securities offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their interest. Broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance and may adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and/or licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Our subsidiary, PhunCoin, Inc., launched an offering to raise capital in 2018 by offering investors Rights to acquire PhunCoin. During the second quarter of 2019, Phunware’s board of directors authorized the issuance of $20 million of convertible promissory notes. As of June 30, 2019 , $1.2 million had been raised in the PhunCoin Rights offerings and $250 thousand in convertible notes had been issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding via these capital raises or at all, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms.

The price of our common stock and warrants has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. The trading price and volume of our common stock and warrants has fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, substantially due to a variety of factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section and within our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019 for year ended December 31, 2018, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock and/or warrants could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, results of operations or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock and warrants might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. In the past, following periods of volatility in the trading price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. This could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Specifically , while we cannot state with certainty what circumstances and factors are causing volatility in our stock price, such volatility may be attributable in part to the following factors:


•	the periodic trading of shares by existing holders of pre-merger shares of common stock, who were not subject to any lock-up, and therefore are able to freely trade shares of common stock on the public market free of restriction;

•	the lock-up of 180-days expired on June 26, 2019, which may have increased the trading activity and the supply of freely tradeable shares on the public market;


•	the effectiveness of our registration statement, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2019 for the registration of additional shares of common stock, including those shares of common stock underlying outstanding warrants, which signaled that additional dilution may result in the event that such warrants are or were exercised for the underlying shares;


•	short-sales and trading by public investors who may be either attempting to take advantage of the low public float or covering their short positions and, because of the low public float at times, may have had to pay relatively high prices for their shares to close out their positions;


•	the cashless exercises of up to 6,900,610 in public warrants for the underlying shares of common stock, which shares may be unrestricted and available for trading immediately; and


•	the public market’s disproportionate focus on PhunCoin, Phun, and other ancillary activities that are speculative in nature and separate from our core operations.

As a result of the offering covered by the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended), which was declared effective on May 14, 2019, the number of shares of common stock that are in the public float increased due to shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Such shares, which are now registered are in the hands of stockholders who are not subject to lock-ups. This resulted in a larger public market for our shares, and may or may not normalize the trading price and reduce volatility in the stock price.

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

The following list sets forth information as to all Phunware securities sold which were not registered under the Securities Act.

Plan-Related Issuances

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we issued 106,397 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options previously granted under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise prices of the options ranged from $0.4357 to $2.3094 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization’s exchange ratio of 0.459. Aggregate consideration to the Company for the options exercised over this period totaled approximately $72 thousand.

None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The Registrant believes these transactions were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about the Company.
