Note 3 — Discontinued Operations

 

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company announced its Board of Directors was actively exploring options for its wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML. This decision by the Company and its Board of Directors was influenced by recent events, including eFPGA IP design wins with strategic customers, expansion of large government ruggedized FPGA and eFPGA IP contracts, performance improvements of its eFPGA IP products, recent changes in the FPGA market competitor landscape, and an increase in inbound interest from customers of former eFPGA market competitors. With the success of QuickLogic's eFPGA IP and ruggedized FPGA business, the Company will focus all of its resources on leveraging and growing the cornerstones of its core business model.

 

SensiML's Analytics Toolkit provides an end-to-end Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning development platform with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology, spanning data collection, labeling, algorithm and firmware auto generation, and testing. This cutting-edge software enables ultra-low power IoT endpoints that implement AI to transform raw sensor data into meaningful insight at the device itself. Revenue streams from SensiML include Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions for development, per unit license fees when deployed in production, and proof-of-concept services. Preliminary discussions have commenced with potential strategic partners regarding the possible sale of SensiML of its assets. As of January 7, 2025, the Company began accounting for the SensiML subsidiary in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations.

 

As of June 29, 2025, there have not been any new material developments regarding the disposal of SensiML. The Company expects to complete the disposal of SensiML within 12 months from the announcement date.
