ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Andrea Electronics
Corporation, incorporated in the State of New York in 1934, (together with its
subsidiaries, Andrea or the Company) has been engaged in the electronic
communications industry since its inception. Since the early 1990s, Andrea has
been primarily focused on developing and manufacturing state-of-the-art
microphone technologies and products for enhancing speech-based applications
software and communications, primarily in the computer and business enterprise
markets that require high quality, clear voice signals. Andreas technologies
eliminate unwanted background noise to enable the optimum performance of various
speech-based and audio applications. Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software
Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products have been designed for applications that
are controlled by or depend on speech across a broad range of hardware and
software platforms. These products incorporate Digital Signal Processing, Noise
Cancellation, Active Noise Cancellation and Active Noise Reduction microphone
technologies, and are designed to cancel background noise in a wide range of
noisy environments, such as homes, offices, factories and automobiles. Andrea
also manufactures a line of accessories for these products for the consumer and
commercial markets in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia. The
Company sold its Anti-Noise Products Division and certain related assets in
April 2015.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principles of
Consolidation
The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Andrea and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(Loss) income Per
Share
Basic (loss) income earnings
per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings
adjusts basic (loss) earnings per share for the effects of convertible
securities, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments,
only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Diluted earnings per share
are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock
options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the
treasury stock method for the outstanding options, and the if-converted method
for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method,
options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the
time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the
if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be
converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of
issuance, if later). Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per
share (EPS) in the future that were not included in the computation of the
diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods
presented, consist of the following:

Cash
Cash includes cash and highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times
during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had cash deposits
in excess of the maximum amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insurance limits. At December 31, 2016, the Companys cash was held
at four financial institutions.

Customer D accounted for
approximately 22% and 6% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively. Customer E accounted for approximately 92% of accounts receivable
at December 31, 2015.
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
The Company performs on-going
credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment
history and the customers current credit worthiness, as determined by the
review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from
customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific
customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt
expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established,
the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit
loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were
to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out) or market basis. The cost of inventory
is based on the respective cost of materials. Andrea reviews its inventory
reserve for obsolescence on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves on
inventories based on the specific identification method as well as a general
reserve. Andrea records charges in inventory reserves as part of cost of
revenues.
Property and
Equipment
Property and equipment is
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets
ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lives of the respective leases or
the expected useful lives of those improvements.
Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset
are charged to operations as incurred. Improvements that substantially extend
the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition
of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected
in the statement of operations.
Other Intangible
Assets
Andrea amortizes its core
technology and patents and trademarks on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives that range from 10 to 20 years.

CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016
Long-Lived
Assets
Andrea accounts for its
long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 360 Plant, Property and
Equipment, for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its
long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andreas
policy is to review the value assigned to its long lived assets to determine if
they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect
Andrea whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such
that the carrying amount of Andreas long lived assets is not recoverable using
the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from
product sales), the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value,
based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows which becomes the new cost
basis for the impaired asset. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and,
accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. No
impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015.
Revenue
Recognition
Non software-related revenue,
which is generally comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product
revenues, is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which
is generally upon shipment. With respect to licensing revenues, Andrea
recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 985, Software and ASC 605 Revenue
Recognition. License revenue is recognized based on the terms and conditions of
individual contracts. In addition, fee based services, which are short-term in
nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate
service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as
the services are performed.
Income
Taxes
Andrea accounts for income
taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires
an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for
income taxes and establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial
statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain
expanded disclosures. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or
loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the
determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects
of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Companys
assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. As of December 31, 2016 the Company has recorded a full
valuation allowance. Andrea expects it will reduce its valuation allowance in
future periods to the extent that it can demonstrate its ability to utilize the
assets. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that
might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax
liability. In managements opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have
been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies
from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Income tax expense consists of taxes payable for the period, withholding of
income tax as mandated by the foreign jurisdiction in which the revenues are
earned withholding of income tax as mandated by the foreign jurisdiction in
which the revenues are earned and the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities. The Company has identified its federal tax return and
its state tax return in New York as "major" tax jurisdictions. Based on the
Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant
uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's condensed
consolidated interim financial statements. The Company's evaluation was
performed for tax years ended 2013 through 2016. The Company believes that its
income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not
anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its
financial position.
Stock-Based
Compensation
At December 31, 2016, Andrea
had one stock-based employee compensation plans, which is described more fully
in Note 11. Andrea accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC
718, Compensation Stock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 establishes
accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the
provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant
date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over
the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the
equity grant). The fair value of the Companys common stock options are
estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the
expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the
straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718, excess tax benefits realized
from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from
financing activities. The future realization of the reserved deferred tax assets
related to these tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options will
result in a credit to additional paid in capital if the related tax deduction
reduces taxes payable. The Company has elected the with and without approach
regarding ordering of windfall tax benefits to determine whether the windfall
tax benefit did reduce taxes payable in the current year. Under this approach,
the windfall tax benefit would be recognized in additional paid-in-capital only
if an incremental tax benefit is realized after considering all other benefits
presently available.

Research and
Development
Andrea expenses all research
and development costs as incurred.
Advertising
Expenses
In accordance with ASC 720 all
media costs of newspaper and magazine advertisements as well as trade show costs
are expensed as incurred. Total advertising and marketing expenses for the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $12,000 and $11,000,
respectively and are included in general, administrative and selling expenses.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about payments to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. ASC 820 applies to all assets and liabilities that are
measured and reported on a fair value basis.
The Company will apply the
provisions of ASC 820 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Andrea calculates
the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information
in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is
different than the book value of those financial instruments. When the book
value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made. Andrea uses
quoted market prices whenever available to calculate these fair values. When
quoted market prices are not available, Andrea uses standard pricing models for
various types of financial instruments which take into account the present value
of estimated future cash flows. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying
value of all financial instruments approximated fair value.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.
Management bases its estimates
on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be
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. The most significant estimates, among other
things, are used in accounting for allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation
and obsolescence, product warranty, depreciation, deferred income taxes,
expected realizable values for assets (primarily intangible assets),
contingencies, revenue recognition as well as the recording and presentation of
the Companys convertible preferred stock. Estimates and assumptions are
periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to
be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which
supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue
Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU is based on the
principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also
requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty
of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant
judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to
obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in the ASU must be applied using
one of two retrospective methods and are effective for annual and interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB modified
ASU 2014-09 to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. As
modified, the FASB permits the adoption of the new revenue standard early, but
not before the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. A public
organization would apply the new revenue standard to all interim reporting
periods within the year of adoption. The Company will evaluate the effects, if
any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016
In November 2015, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU
2015-17). The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be
classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU
2015-17 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2015-17 may
be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or
retrospectively. The
Company has
adopted ASU 2015-17 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and
Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). The standard
addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard
will have on its financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires that a
lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A
lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to
make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing
its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term
of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy
election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease
liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and
measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a
modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard
will have on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal
versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (ASU
2016-08). ASU No. 2016-08 maintains the core principles of Topic 606 on revenue
recognition, but clarifies whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a
contract and the appropriate revenue recognition principles under each of these
circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 affect the guidance of ASU 2014-09
which is not yet effective. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that
adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements
to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 includes provisions
to simplify certain aspects related to the accounting for share-based awards and
the related financial statement presentation. This ASU includes a requirement
that the tax effect related to the settlement of share-based awards be recorded
in income tax benefit or expense in the statements of earnings. This change is
required to be adopted prospectively in the period of adoption. In addition, the
ASU modifies the classification of certain share-based payment activities within
the statements of cash flows and these changes are required to be applied
retrospectively to all periods presented, or in certain cases prospectively,
beginning in the period of adoption. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods
within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on
its financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) -
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU No. 2016-10 maintains
the core principles of Topic 606 on revenue recognition, but clarifies
identification of performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance.
The amendments in ASU 2016-10 affect the guidance of ASU 2014-09 which is not
yet effective. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of
this guidance will have on its financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-
Scope Improvements and Practical
Expedients. ASU No. 2016-12 maintains the core principles of Topic 606 on
revenue recognition, but addresses collectability, sales tax presentation,
noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition and completed
contracts at transition. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 affect the guidance of
ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective. The Company will evaluate the effects,
if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326)
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 provides
financial statement readers more decision-useful information about the expected
credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit
held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The Company will evaluate the
effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial
statements.

In August 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of
Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 addresses eight
specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity
in practice. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this
guidance will have on its financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230) Restricted Cash. ASU
No. 2016-18 requires an entity to include amounts described as restricted cash
and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling
the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement
of cash flows. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
In December 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2016-20 amends certain aspects
of ASU No. 2014-09 and clarifies, rather than changes, the core revenue
recognition principles in ASU No. 2014-09. It is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position and
results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
Subsequent
Events
The Company evaluates events
that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements
are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any
recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required
adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Andrea accounts for its
long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment for
purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets
(primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andreas policy is to
periodically review the value assigned to its long-lived assets to determine if
they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect
Andrea. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying
amount of Andreas long lived assets are not recoverable using the sum of an
undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product revenues),
a new cost basis for the impaired asset will be established. If required, an
impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash
flows. This new cost basis will be net of any recorded impairment. At December
31, 2016 and 2015, Andrea concluded that there were no long-lived assets that
required to be tested for recoverability.

REVENUE SHARING, NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND
LONG-TERM DEBT
Revenue Sharing and Note
Purchase Agreement
On December 24, 2014, the
Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revenue Sharing and Note Purchase
Agreement (the Revenue Sharing Agreement), with AND34 Funding LLC (AND34)
(acting as the Revenue Participants, the Note Purchasers, and the
Collateral Agent), which was retroactively effective as of February 14, 2014.
Under the Revenue Sharing Agreement, the Company granted AND34 a perpetual
predetermined share in the rights of the Companys specified future revenues
from patents (Monetization Revenues) currently owned by the Company (the
Patents) in exchange for $3,500,000, which was originally recorded as an
Advance from Revenue Sharing Agreement on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet and was fully repaid as of September 30, 2016. AND34s rights to
the Companys Monetization Revenues (as defined in the Revenue Sharing
Agreement) from the Patents and the Notes are secured by the Patents. Under the
terms of the Revenue Sharing Agreement with AND34, Andrea issued and sold to
AND34 Notes of $10,800,000 of which were repaid in 2016. On August 10, 2016,
Andrea and AND34 executed a Rider to the Revenue Sharing Agreement (Rider).
Under the Rider, Andrea has agreed to issue and sell to AND34 Additional Notes
up to an aggregate original amount of $7,000,000, or such greater amount as
AND34 may agree to in its sole discretion, during the four year period beginning
on the date of execution of the Rider. The Additional Notes will have a Maturity
date of August 31, 2020. The proceeds of the Additional Notes will be used to
pay certain expenses related to the Revenue Sharing Agreement, and be used for
expenses of the Company incurred in pursuing patent monetization. As of December
31, 2016, there is $1,400,000 in Additional Notes outstanding.

DECEMBER 31, 2016
Any Monetization Revenues will
first be applied 100% to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on, and then
to repay outstanding principal of, the Additional Notes. After the Additional
Notes are paid in full, the Monetization Revenues will be allocated amongst the
Revenue Participants and the Company in accordance with certain predetermined
percentages (based on aggregate amounts received by the Revenue Participants)
ranging from 50% to the Revenue Participants to ultimately 20% to the Revenue
Participants. Monetization Revenues is defined in the Revenue Sharing Agreement
to include, but is not limited to, amounts that the Company receives from third
parties with respect to the Patents, which may include new license revenues,
certain product revenue, payments and judgments. Monetization Revenues and
associated expenses are included in the Companys Patent Monetization Segment
(Note 13). For year ended December 31, 2016 there was approximately $2,944,000
of non-recurring monetization revenues recognized for patent licensing
agreements entered into during 2016 in which the Company recorded and paid
licensing revenue sharing expense of approximately $290,000.
The Revenue Sharing Agreement
contains many stipulations between the parties regarding the handling of various
matters related to the monetization of the Patents. The Revenue Participants and
the Company will account for the tax treatment as set forth in the Revenue
Sharing Agreement. Following an Event of Default under the Revenue Sharing
Agreement, the Note Purchasers and Revenue Participants may proceed to protect
and enforce their rights by suit or other appropriate proceeding, either for
specific performance or the exercise of any power granted under the Revenue
Sharing Agreement or ancillary documents including the Notes.

SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK
On October 10, 2000, Andrea
issued and sold in a private placement $7,500,000 of Series C Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series C Preferred Stock). Each of these
shares of Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of $10,000 plus a $1,671
increase in the stated value, which sum is convertible into Common Stock at a
conversion price of $0.2551. On February 17, 2004, Andrea announced that it had
entered into an Exchange and Termination Agreement and an Acknowledgment and
Waiver Agreement, which eliminated the dividend of 5% per annum on the stated
value. The additional amount of $1,671 represents the 5% per annum from October
10, 2000 through February 17, 2004. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are
subject to antidilution provisions, which are triggered in the event of certain
stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions. In addition,
issuances of common stock at a price below the conversion price then in effect
(currently $0.2551), or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or
convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less
than that conversion price, other than for certain previously outstanding
securities and certain excluded securities (as defined in the certificate of
amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price to that lower price
at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be acquired. In the
event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a conversion price
or exercise price which varies with the market price and the terms of such
variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the Series C
Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more favorable
variable price when making conversions of the Series C Preferred Stock.
In accordance with Sub Topic
815-40, Andrea evaluated the Series C Preferred Stock and concluded that it is
not indexed to the Companys stock because of the conversion price adjustment
feature described above. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), Andrea evaluated the Series C Preferred
Stock embedded conversion feature. The Company has concluded that the embedded
conversion feature would be classified in shareholders equity if it were a
freestanding instrument as the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to equity
and as such it should not be bifurcated from the Series C instrument and
accounted for separately.
On April 4, 2016, 10.904533
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with related accrued dividends,
were converted into 498,900 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$0.2551.
As of December 31, 2016, there
were 33.326899 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, which were
convertible into 1,524,758 shares of Common Stock and remaining accrued
dividends of $55,697.
9.
SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK
On February 17, 2004, Andrea
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (including a Registration Rights
Agreement) with certain holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and other
investors (collectively, the Buyers) pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to
invest a total of $2,500,000. In connection with this agreement, on February 23,
2004, the Buyers purchased, for a purchase price of $1,250,000, an aggregate of
1,250,000 shares of a new class of preferred stock, the Series D Preferred
Stock, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an effective
conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock warrants exercisable for
an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. These warrants were
exercisable at any time after August 17, 2004, at an exercise price of $0.38 per
share. On February 23, 2009, these warrants expired without being exercised.
In addition, on June 4, 2004,
the Buyers purchased for an additional $1,250,000, an additional 1,250,000
shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (an effective conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock
warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The
warrants were exercisable at any time after
December 4, 2004 and before June 4, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.17
per share. On June 4, 2009, these warrants expired without being exercised.
The shares of Series D
Preferred Stock are also subject to antidilution provisions, which are triggered
in the event of certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive
transactions. In addition, issuances of common stock at a price below the
conversion price then in effect (currently $0.25), or the issuance of warrants,
options, rights, or convertible securities which have an exercise price or
conversion price less than that conversion price, other than for certain
previously outstanding securities and certain excluded securities (as defined
in the certificate of amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price
to that lower price at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be
acquired. In the event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a
conversion price or exercise price which varies with the market price and the
terms of such variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the
Series D Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more
favorable variable price when making conversions of the Series D Preferred
Stock. In addition, the Company is required to use its best efforts to secure
the inclusion for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the
common stock issuable under the Series D Preferred Stock and to arrange for at
least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority. In the event that the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock is
unable to convert these securities into Andrea Common Stock, the Company shall
pay to each such holder a Registration Delay Payment. This payment is to be paid
in cash and is equal to the product of (i) the stated value of such Preferred
Shares multiplied by (ii) the product of (1) .0005 multiplied by (2) the number
of days that sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement
(excluding any days during that may be considered grace periods as defined by
the Registration Rights Agreement).

INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for
income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 which prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also
provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. There were no
unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2015 and during the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Company has identified its
federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as "major" tax
jurisdictions, as defined in ASC 740. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has
been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring
recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's
evaluation was performed for tax years ended 2013 through 2016. The Company
believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit
and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to
its consolidated financial position.
The Company's policy for
recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items
as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for
penalties or interest as of or during the year ended December 31, 2016. For the
year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that, more likely than not,
its deferred tax assets would be not be realized and, accordingly, increased the
valuation allowance. The increase in the valuation allowance is included in the
income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2016. Management is currently unaware of any
issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or
material deviations from its position.
The provision for income tax

The provision for income taxes
for the year ended December 31, 2016 of approximately $13,000 is the result of
certain licensing revenues that are subject to withholding of income tax as
mandated by the foreign jurisdiction in which the revenues are earned partially
offset by a Federal income tax refund relating to alternative minimum tax
credits. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 of
approximately $154,000 is comprised of approximately $146,000 of certain
licensing revenues that are subject to withholding of income tax as mandated by
the foreign jurisdiction in which the revenues are earned while approximately
$8,000 is the result of certain alternative minimum taxes. The provision related
to foreign taxes is deductible, while the provision relating to alternative
minimum taxes is able to be offset by future tax benefits. Since the Company
records a full valuation against deferred tax assets, the provision relating to
alternative minimum taxes of approximately $8,000 will not be reduced by such
future tax benefits.

Employment
Agreements
In August 2014, the Company
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Andrea. The effective date of the
employment agreement is August 1, 2014 and expired July 31, 2017 and is subject
to renewal as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Andrea will receive an annual base
salary of $300,000. The employment agreement provides for quarterly bonuses
equal to 5% of the Companys pre-bonus net after tax quarterly earnings for a
total quarterly bonus amount not to exceed $12,500; and annual bonuses equal to
9% of the Companys annual pre-bonus net after tax earnings in excess of
$300,000 up to $3,000,000, and 3% of the Companys annual pre-bonus adjusted net
after tax earnings in excess of $3,000,000. Adjustments to net after tax
earnings shall be made to remove the impact of change in recognition of
accumulated deferred tax asset value. All bonuses shall be payable as soon as
the Companys cash flow permits. All bonus determinations or any additional
bonus in excess of the above will be made in the sole discretion of the
Compensation Committee. Mr. Andrea is also entitled to a change in control
payment equal to three times the three year average of the cash incentive
compensation paid or accrued as of the date of termination, continuation of
health and medical benefits for three years and immediate vesting of all stock
options in the event of a change in control during the term of his agreement and
subsequent termination of his employment within two years following the change
of control. In the event of his termination without cause or resignation with
the Companys consent, Mr. Andrea is entitled to a severance payment equal to
six months of his base salary, plus the six months prorated portion of his most
recent annual and quarterly bonuses, and a continuation of health insurance
coverage for Mr. Andrea, his spouse and his dependents for 12 months. At
December 31, 2016, the future minimum cash commitments under this agreement
aggregate $183,330.
In November 1999, as amended
August 2008, the Company entered into a change in control agreement with the
Chief Financial Officer, Corisa L. Guiffre. This agreement provides for a change
in control payment equal to three times her average annual compensation for the
five preceding taxable years, with continuation of health and medical benefits
for three years in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined
in the agreement, and subsequent termination of employment other than for cause.
Legal
Proceedings
In December 2010, Audrey
Edwards, Executrix of the Estate of Leon Leroy Edwards, filed a law suit in the
Superior Court of Providence County, Rhode Island, against 3M Company and over
90 other defendants, including the Company, alleging that the Company processed,
manufactured, designed, tested, packaged, distributed, marketed or sold asbestos
containing products that contributed to the death of Leon Leroy Edwards. The
Company received service of process in April 2011. The Company has retained
legal counsel and has filed a response to the compliant. The Company believes
the lawsuit is without merit and has to filed a Motion for Summary Judgment to
that affect. Accordingly, the Company does not believe the lawsuit will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
In September 2016, the Company
filed a Complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC),
alleging patent infringement against Apple Inc. (Apple) and Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (together,
Samsung), and requesting injunctive relief. An ITC investigation was
instituted on October 19, 2016. Apple and Samsung answered the Companys
Complaint on November 21, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously prosecute its
claims at the ITC.

District of New York, alleging patent infringement against Apple and Samsung,
and requesting monetary and injunctive relief. These cases against Apple and
Samsung are stayed pending the outcome of the Companys litigation at the ITC
against Apple and Samsung.

STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
In October 2006, the Board
adopted the Andrea Electronics Corporation 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (2006
Plan), which was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The 2006 Plan, as
amended, authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up
to an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Andreas Common Stock to be acquired by
the holders of those awards. The awards can take the form of stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or other stock-based awards. Awards
may be granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants. No further
awards will be granted under the 2006 Plan.
The stock option awards
granted under these plans have been granted with an exercise price equal to the
market price of the
Companys stock
at the date of grant; with vesting periods of up to four years and 10-year
contractual terms. The fair values of each stock option grant is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the
weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities
are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Companys
stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods
within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the time of grant.
During the year ended December
31, 2016, Andrea granted 3,600,000 shares of common stock options with a
weighted average fair market fair of $0.05 per share. The grants provide for up
to a three-year vesting period, a weighted average exercise price of $0.05 per
share, which was the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date
of grant and a weighted average expected life of 8 years. The fair values of the
3,600,000 stock options granted was $180,000 which was estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the following
weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2016:
During the year ended December
31, 2015, Andrea granted 600,000 shares of common stock options with a weighted
average fair market fair of $0.06 per share. The grants provide for up to a
three-year vesting period, a weighted average exercise price of $0.06 per share,
which was the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of
grant and a weighted average expected life of 8 years. The fair values of the
600,000 stock options granted was $38,000 which was estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the following
weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2016:

SEGMENT INFORMATION
Andrea follows the provisions
of ASC 280 Segment Reporting (ASC 280). Reportable operating segments are
determined based on Andreas management approach. The management approach, as
defined by ASC 280, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker
organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and
assessing performance. While Andreas results of operations are primarily
reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker manages the
enterprise in two segments: (i) Patent Monetization; and (ii) Andrea DSP
Microphone and Audio Software Products. Patent
Monetization includes Monetization Revenues (as
defined in our Revenue Sharing Agreement). Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio
Software Products primarily include products based on the use of some, or all,
of the following technologies: Andrea Digital Super Directional Array microphone
technology (DSDA), Andrea Direction Finding and Tracking Array microphone
technology (DFTA), Andrea PureAudio noise filtering technology, and Andrea
EchoStop, an advanced acoustic echo cancellation technology. The following
