PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10 K, 20 F, 11 K, 10 Q, 10-D, N SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant filed a Form 8-K on March 4, 2013 (earliest event date reported of February 26, 2013) to report the dismissal of its independent registered public accountant (Item 4.01(a)) and the appointment of Sam Kan & Company as the newly appointed independent registered public accountant (Item 4.01(b)). The audit of the Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 commenced shortly after the appointment of Sam Kan & Company, but there has been insufficient time for the Registrant to complete the audit and complete and file its Form 10-K by the March 31, 2013 due date without incurring unreasonable effort and expense. The Registrant will complete the audit and file its Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of March 31, 2013.

We were appointed as independent registered public accountants for Socket Mobile Inc. on February 26, 2013 and commenced the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 shortly thereafter.

We expect to complete the audit and issue our opinion within 15 days of the reporting date.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Sam Kan & Company
