At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$21.8 million and working capital of approximately $19.7 million. The Company
has generated only limited revenues since inception and has incurred recurring
operating losses. Accordingly, it is subject to all the risks inherent in the
initial organization, financing, expenditures, and scaling of a new business
that is not generating positive cashflow.



The Company has primarily financed operations through private placements of
equity and debt securities, the Company's Initial Public Offering (the "IPO")
which was consummated on August 10, 2016, and subsequent public offerings of its
common stock. On May 31, 2022, Atomera entered into an Equity Distribution
Agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as
agents, under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its
sole discretion, shares of its $0.001 par value common stock, in "at the market"
offerings to or through the agent as its sales agent, having an aggregate
offering price of up to $50.0 million (the "ATM Facility").



Based on the funds it has available as of the date of the filing of this report,
the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to fund its current business
plans and obligations over, at least, 12 months from the date that these
financial statements have been issued. The Company's future capital requirements
and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including
the Company's ability to successfully commercialize its technology, competing
technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations
with other companies or acquire technologies to enhance or complement its
current offerings. The Company's operating plans for the next 12 months include
increased research and development headcount. For capital needs beyond the next
12 months, the Company currently expects to rely on its ATM, but the terms on
which any future stock sales will occur will depend on both market conditions
and the Company's business performance, so there can be no guarantee that funds
will be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Basis of presentation of unaudited condensed financial information





The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for
reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial
position and its results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2021, was derived from the
audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022. These unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.



Adoption of recent accounting standards





In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other
Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial
conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It
also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity's own equity that
are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement
provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible
instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact
the diluted earnings per share computation The Company adopted this standard on
January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or financial statement disclosure.



4. REVENUE




The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") No. 606. The amount of revenue that the Company recognizes
reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or
services and such revenue is recognized at the time when goods or services are
transferred and/or delivered to its customers. Revenue is recognized when the
Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the product or
service to the customer. The Company generates revenues from engineering service
contracts, integration license agreements and joint development agreements. When
the Company's performance obligation is the promise to grant a license, revenue
is recognized either at a point in time or over time.

Unbilled contracts receivable and deferred revenue





Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers.
Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers.
Unbilled contracts receivable represents unbilled amounts expected to be
received from customers in future periods, where the revenue recognized to date
exceeds the amount billed, and the right to receive payment is subject to the
underlying contractual terms. Unbilled contracts receivable amounts may not
exceed their net realizable value and are classified as long-term assets if the
payments are expected to be received more than one year from the reporting

date.

5. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE






Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss
per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common
stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and the dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during
the period. The Company's potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares,
which include incremental common shares issuable upon (i) the exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants and (ii) vesting of restricted stock
units and restricted stock awards, are only included in the calculation of
diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive. Since the Company has
had net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities
are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are equal.



The following potential common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because the inclusion thereof would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

In October 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately
200 square feet of office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lease, with
current monthly payments of $2,942 per month, commenced on October 24, 2016.
Because the lease is month to month and can be cancelled with a 30-day notice,
the future lease payments are not included in the Company's lease accounting
under ASC Topic 842.

Overview



We are engaged in the business of developing, commercializing and licensing
proprietary processes and technologies for the $550+ billion semiconductor
industry. Our lead technology, named Mears Silicon Technology™, or MST®, is a
thin film of reengineered silicon, typically 100 to 300 angstroms (or
approximately 20 to 60 silicon atomic unit cells) thick. MST can be applied as a
transistor channel enhancement to CMOS-type transistors, the most widely used
transistor type in the semiconductor industry. MST is our proprietary and
patent-protected performance enhancement technology that we believe addresses a
number of key engineering challenges facing the semiconductor industry. We
believe that by incorporating MST, transistors can be made smaller, with
increased speed, reliability and power efficiency. In addition, since MST is an
additive and low-cost technology, we believe it can be deployed on an industrial
scale, with machines commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing. We believe
that MST can be widely incorporated into the most common types of semiconductor
products, including analog, logic, optical and memory integrated circuits.



We do not intend to design or manufacture integrated circuits directly. Instead,
we develop and license technologies and processes that we believe offer the
designers and manufacturers of integrated circuits a low-cost solution to the
industry's need for greater performance and lower power consumption. Our
customers and partners include:



· foundries, which manufacture integrated circuits on behalf of fabless


       manufacturers;



· integrated device manufacturers, or IDMs, which are the fully integrated


       designers and manufacturers of integrated circuits;



· fabless semiconductor manufacturers, which are designers of integrated


       circuits that outsource the manufacture of their chips to foundries;



· original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, that manufacture the epitaxial,


       or EPI, machines used to deposit semiconductor layers, such as the MST
       film, onto the silicon wafer; and



· electronic design automation companies, which make tools used throughout


       the industry to simulate performance of semiconductor products using
       different materials, design structures and process technologies.




Our commercialization strategy is to generate revenue through licensing
arrangements whereby foundries, IDMs and fabless semiconductor manufacturers pay
us a license fee for their right to use MST technology in the manufacture of
silicon wafers as well as a royalty for each silicon wafer or device that
incorporates our MST technology. To date we have generated revenue from (i)
licensing agreements with two IDMs, one fabless manufacturer and one foundry,
(ii) a joint development agreement, or JDA, with a leading semiconductor
provider and (iii) engineering services provided to foundries, IDMs and fabless
companies.

We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Nanovis LLC on November 26, 2001. On March 13, 2007, we converted to a Delaware corporation under the name Mears Technologies, Inc. On January 12, 2016, we changed our name to Atomera Incorporated.





On May 31, 2022, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as agents, under which
we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our
common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million in an
"at-the-market" or ATM offering, to or through the agents. As of June 30, 2022,
31,652 shares had been sold at an average price per share of approximately
$11.24, resulting in approximately $185,000 of net proceeds to us after
deducting commissions and other offering expenses.



Results of Operations



Revenues. To date, we have only generated limited revenue from customer
engagements for integration engineering services, integration license agreements
and a manufacturing license granted under a JDA. In the future, we expect to
collect increased fees from license agreements and JDAs as well as royalties
from customer sales of products that incorporate our MST technology, subject to
our ability to enter into manufacturing and distribution license agreements with
our current and future licensees. Our integration services consist of depositing
our MST film on semiconductor wafers, delivering such wafers to customers to
finalize building devices, and performing tests for customers evaluating MST.
The integration license agreements we have entered into grant the licensees the
right to build products that integrate our MST technology deposited by us onto
their semiconductor wafers, but the agreements do not grant the licensees the
rights to manufacture MST-enabled wafers in their facilities or to sell products
incorporating MST. Our JDA included the grant of a manufacturing license to our
customer and we were paid for such license upon delivery of our IP transfer
package which enabled our customer to install MST in a tool in their facility
and to use it to manufacture wafers for internal use. This JDA also contained
targeted technical specifications that, if met, would result in payment of a
success fee to us. Those technical objectives were met and we have collected the
success fee.



For revenue recognition purposes, we have determined that the grant of rights in
integration licenses is not distinct from the delivery of integration services,
and therefore revenue from both integration licenses and integration services is
recognized as the services are provided to the customer. In general, this is
proportionate to the delivery of MST processed wafers to the customer, but if
the agreements do not specify a time and quantity of wafer delivery, we will
record revenue over the period of time of which we anticipate delivering an
estimated quantity of wafers. We have also determined that the grant of our
manufacturing license under the JDA confers a right to use our technology and
accordingly revenue was recognized at the point in time when we delivered our IP
transfer package. The success fee under our JDA was treated as engineering
services revenue and recognized upon our customer's confirmation that the JDA's
technical objectives had been met.



Revenue was not recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $375,000 and
$400,000, respectively. Our revenue in 2022 consisted of a success fee pursuant
to our JDA and a license fee paid under an integration license agreement. Our
revenue in 2021 consisted of a manufacturing license fee pursuant to our JDA.



Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of costs of materials, as well as
direct compensation and expenses incurred to provide support for our success fee
and wafers delivered as part of the integration license agreement. Cost of
revenue was not recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. Cost
of revenue was approximately $81,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively. We anticipate that our cost of revenue will vary
substantially depending on the mix of license and engineering services revenues
we receive and the nature of products and/or services delivered in each customer
engagement.



Operating expenses.Operating expenses consist of research and development,
general and administrative, and selling and marketing expenses. For the three
months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our operating expenses totaled
approximately $4.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 our operating expenses totaled approximately $8.8
million and $7.7 million respectively.

Research and development expense. To date, our operations have focused on the
research, development, patent prosecution, and commercialization of our MST
technology and related technologies such as MSTcad. Our research and development
costs primarily consist of payroll and benefit costs for our engineering staff
and costs of outsourced fabrication (including epi tool leases) and metrology of
semiconductor wafers incorporating our MST technology.



For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately
$2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of research and development
expense, an increase of approximately $364,000, or 18%. The increase was
primarily due to approximately $400,000 of tool lease expense as the tool lease
commenced in August 2021, offset by a reduction in payroll related expense

of
approximately $45,000.



For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately $4.8
million and $4.3 million, respectively, of research and development expense, an
increase of approximately $474,000, or 11%. The increase was primarily due to
approximately $810,000 of tool lease expense as the tool lease commenced in
August 2021, offset by a reduction in payroll related expense of approximately
$194,000 and reduction of approximately $287,000 in outsourced research and
development expenses.



General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of payroll and benefit costs for administrative personnel,
office-related costs and professional fees. General and administrative costs for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $1.7 million
and $1.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately
$161,000, or 11%. The increase in costs was primarily due to increases of
approximately $92,000 in employee-related costs and legal and approximately
$115,000 in patent fees, offset in part by a decrease of approximately $55,000
in stock-based compensation.



General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
were approximately $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, representing an
increase of approximately $296,000, or 10%. The increase in costs was primarily
due to increases of approximately $40,000 in employee related costs, $211,000 in
legal and patent fees and $94,000 in insurance expenses, offset in part by a
decrease of approximately $80,000 in stock-based compensation.



Selling and marketing expense.Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily
of salary and benefits for our sales and marketing personnel and business
development consulting services. Selling and marketing expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $347,000 and $137,000,
respectively, representing an increase of approximately $210,000, or 153%. The
increase in costs is primarily related to increased spending in employee related
costs of approximately $87,000, an increase in outsourced marketing expenses of
approximately $39,000 and an increase in stock-based compensation of
approximately $38,000.



Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
were approximately $672,000 and $403,000, respectively, representing an increase
of approximately $269,000, or 67%. The increase in costs is primarily related to
increased spending in employee related costs of approximately $83,000, an
increase in outsourced marketing expenses of approximately $79,000 and an
increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $39,000.



Interest income. Interest income for three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
was approximately $35,000 and $3,000, respectively. Interest income for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $38,000 and $5,000, respectively.
Interest income for each period related to interest earned on our cash and

cash
equivalents.



Interest expense. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
2022 was approximately $69,000 and $140,000 respectively and related to the new
tool financing lease entered into in August 2021. There was no interest expense
recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 because the tool
financing lease commenced after those periods.



Provision for income taxes. The provision for income tax for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $17,000 and $31,000, respectively,
and related to income taxes due to a foreign country arising from withholding
taxes imposed on payments received for revenue. There was no provision for
income tax recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities


Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $6.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 resulted primarily from our net loss of approximately
$8.6 million and an increase in prepaid assets offset by stock-based
compensation and amortization of right-of-use assets.



Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $6.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 resulted primarily from our net loss of approximately
$7.3 million, an increase of approximately $527,000 in prepaid expenses and
other assets and a decrease in accrued payroll expenses of approximately
$383,000, offset by approximately $1.6 million of stock-based compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $19,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 and approximately $79,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 consisted of the purchase of computers, lab tools and leasehold
improvements for the remodeled Los Gatos office space and lab tools to use with
the new equipment lease in Tempe, Arizona.



Net cash used by financing activities of approximately $227,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to principal payments on our financing lease offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and net proceeds from our ATM offering.


Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the exercise of approximately 458,000
stock options and net proceeds from a previous at-the-market offering which
began in September 2020 and concluded in January 2021.



Liquidity and Capital Resources





As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.8
million and working capital of approximately $19.7 million. For the six months
ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $8.6 million and used
approximately $6.6 million of cash and cash equivalents in operations. Since
inception, we have incurred recurring operating losses.



In June 2022, we conducted an at-the-market offering of our common shares
through Oppenheimer & Co. Inc and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as agents,
pursuant to which we sold 31,652 shares at an average price per share of
approximately $11.24, resulting in approximately $185,000 of net proceeds to us
after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.



We believe that our available working capital is sufficient to fund our
presently forecasted working capital requirements for, at least, the next 12
months following the date of the filing of this report. However, our future
capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many
factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our MST technology,
competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into
collaborations with other companies or acquire technologies to enhance or
complement our current offerings. If we are not able to generate sufficient
revenue from license fees and royalties in a timeframe that satisfies our cash
needs, we will need to raise more capital. In the event we require additional
capital, we will endeavor to acquire additional funds through various financing
sources, including our ATM Facility, follow-on equity offerings, debt financing
and joint ventures with industry partners. In addition, we will consider
alternatives to our current business plan that may enable to us to achieve
revenue-producing operations and meaningful commercial success with a smaller
amount of capital. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be
required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional
measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.
