PART

[X]

  
 
    
    (a) 
    
    The reasons described in reasonable detail
    in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
  
     
    
    
    
  
     
    
    (b)

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.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:



 



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.  The date of appointment left insufficient
time to complete the audit and issue our opinion by the reporting date of March 31, 2013 without incurring undue effort and expense. 
We expect to complete the audit and issue our opinion within 15 days of the reporting date.



 



 



 



Sincerely
yours,



 



 



/s/ Sam
Kan & Company
