Contract liabilities and deferred revenue
In December 2020, the Company signed a 5G technology access and license agreement with a strategic partner for an amount of $4,500,000. The agreement provided for an upfront payment which was received in January 2021. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized the final revenues under the agreement for an amount of $314,000 ($571,000 in 2023). At December 31, 2025 and 2024, no contract liability remained (December 31, 2023: $245,000 as current portion).
In August 2022, the Company signed a 5G license agreement with another strategic partner for an amount of up to $60,000,000, to be paid over three years, to manufacture and sell the 5G chipset in China as well as the right to create derivative products based on the licensed technology that may be sold in China if a minor derivative and worldwide if a major derivative. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized license fee revenues for an amount of $2,500,000 ($18,750,000 in 2023). At December 31, 2023, the net remaining contract liability of $2,500,000 was presented on the Statement of Financial Position as current contract liabilities. On May 31, 2024, the Company and the strategic partner mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. They have acknowledged that all payments owing under the agreement have been paid in full and that no
additional payments, fees or other compensation are owing or payable by one party to the other party in connection with this termination.
In October 2023, the Company signed with the first strategic partner an additional amendment related to the purchase of product with advance payment of $3,150,000. In the year ended December 31, 2023, $420,000 product revenues were recognized as a result of product deliveries (no revenues recognized in 2024 or 2025). At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, a $2,730,000 contract liability remained and was presented on the Statement of Financial Position as a current liability. The Company does not expect to settle this amount until the Company's claims against this strategic partner on another matter are resolved.
On September 30, 2024, the Company licensed to Qualcomm its 5G broadband platform, which was approximately 75% developed and is licensed “as is” with no obligation to make any improvements. The license gives Qualcomm the right to use the IP to design their own products, manufacture and sell. The license amounted to $20,000,000. License revenue is recognized upon delivery of the technology packages to Qualcomm. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized license fee revenues for an amount $12,139,000 for the technology packages delivered in by December 31, 2024.
