Key disclosures include a going concern warning due to a **working capital deficit** and upcoming debt obligations. The company's debt, including a **$48.0 million Term Loan** and **$105.1 million** in **Convertible Notes**, is now classified as current. One customer accounted for **56%** of revenue in **Q2 2019**. Subsequent to the quarter's end, the company raised **$10.0 million** through the issuance of **Series E Preferred Stock** - Management has concluded that the company's current cash and anticipated cash flows will be **insufficient** to meet its **working capital deficit** needs and potential debt repurchases in **June 2020**. These circumstances raise **substantial doubt** about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern[21](index=21&type=chunk) - The company's plan to mitigate the going concern risk is through restructuring its existing debt or issuing additional debt or equity securities[21](index=21&type=chunk) - The **Term Loan** and **Convertible Senior Notes** are classified as **current liabilities** because holders of the **Inseego Notes** have an option to require repurchase on **June 15, 2020**, which would also trigger a default under the Credit Agreement[20](index=20&type=chunk)[77](index=77&type=chunk)[90](index=90&type=chunk) - For **Q2 2019**, one customer accounted for **56.0%** of net revenues.

However, this was offset by a **decline** in gross margin from **36.0%** to **27.8%** due to a less favorable product mix and foreign exchange impacts. The company's liquidity position is **critical**, with a **working capital deficit** of **$117.3 million** and cash of **$20.3 million**. Management explicitly states that current cash is **insufficient** to cover potential debt repurchases in **June 2020**, creating **substantial doubt** about its ability to continue as a going concern, and outlines plans to restructure debt or raise capital [Business Overview](index=36&type=section&id=Business%20Overview) Inseego is a provider of mobile (**4G/5G**), IoT, and cloud solutions. Its revenue is generated from two main categories: **IoT & Mobile Solutions**, which includes hotspots, gateways, and routers sold under brands like MiFi and Skyus, and **Enterprise SaaS Solutions**, which includes Ctrack telematics and Device Management System platforms - The company designs and develops mobile (**4G/5G NR**), IoT, and cloud solutions for service providers, enterprises, and small-to-medium businesses[137](index=137&type=chunk) - Key product lines include MiFi mobile hotspots, Skyus IoT routers, and Ctrack SaaS platforms for fleet and asset management[139](index=139&type=chunk)[143](index=143&type=chunk) [Results of Operations](index=41&type=section&id=Results%20of%20Operations) For **Q2 2019**, net revenues **increased 13.9%** to **$55.9 million** compared to **Q2 2018**, driven by a **26.0% rise** in **IoT & Mobile Solutions** revenue from new LTE gigabit hotspots. This was partially offset by an **8.1% decline** in **Enterprise SaaS** revenue, mainly due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Gross margin **fell** significantly to **27.8%** from **36.0%** due to the higher cost and lower margin of the new hotspots. Operating expenses **increased**, resulting in a **wider** operating **loss** of **$5.2 million** versus **$0.8 million** in the prior year Net Revenues by Product Category - Q2 2019 vs Q2 2018 (in thousands) | Product Category | Q2 2019 | Q2 2018 | Change $ | Change % | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | IoT & Mobile Solutions | $39,983 | $31,741 | $8,242 | 26.0% | | Enterprise SaaS Solutions | $15,908 | $17,316 | ($1,408) | (8.1)% | | **Total** | **$55,891** | **$49,057** | **$6,834** | **13.9%** | - The **increase** in **IoT & Mobile Solutions** revenue was primarily from **increased** sales of LTE gigabit hotspots[162](index=162&type=chunk) - Gross profit for **Q2 2019** was **$15.6 million** (**27.8%** margin), a **decrease** from **$17.7 million** (**36.0%** margin) in **Q2 2018**.

As of **June 30, 2019**, it had **$20.3 million** in cash and a **working capital deficit** of **$117.3 million**. Management states that current cash and operational cash flow will not be **sufficient** to fund operations and cover potential debt repurchases on the **June 15, 2020** Optional Repurchase Date for its **Inseego Notes**.
