1. OPERATIONS

 

Genasys Inc. (formerly LRAD® Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is engaged in the design, development and commercialization of directed and multidirectional sound technologies, voice broadcast products, and location-based mass messaging solutions for emergency warning and workforce management. The principal markets for the Company’s proprietary sound reproduction technologies, voice broadcast products and mass messaging solutions are in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. On October 23, 2019, the Company announced its rebranding and began doing business as Genasys Inc.

 

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 10, 2020. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company has seven wholly owned subsidiaries, Genasys II Spain, S.A.U (“Genasys Spain”), Genasys Communications Canada ULC, Genasys Singapore PTE Ltd, Genasys Puerto Rico, LLC and Genasys Inc. (branch) in the United Arab Emirates and two currently inactive subsidiaries, Genasys America de CV and LRAD International Corporation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of these subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2021, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $18,455. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $23,319.

 

The Company considers any amounts pledged as collateral or otherwise restricted for use in current operations to be restricted cash. In addition, the Company excludes from cash and cash equivalents cash required to fund specific future contractual obligations related to business combinations. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset unless amounts are not expected to be released and available for use in operations within one year. As of March 31, 2021, the current portion of restricted cash was $282 and the noncurrent portion was $1,190. As of September 30, 2020, the current portion of restricted cash was $282 and the noncurrent portion was $395.

 

Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Company management identified an immaterial error in the previously issued September 30, 2020 consolidated balance sheet. This error resulted in an overstatement of prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities of $5,205 related to a foreign currency forward contract which was presented on a gross basis rather than on a net basis. There was no impact to the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows as of September 30, 2020, as a result of this misstatement. Further, there was no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the six months ended March 31, 2021, as the forward contract was settled during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 99 – Materiality and No. 108 – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements were used by management to evaluate the impact of the misstatement. Management concluded that this misstatement had no material impact on either the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 or the previously issued consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, and therefore the misstatement was corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. All financial information contained in the accompanying notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements has been revised to reflect the correction of this error.

 

Reclassifications

 

Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New pronouncements pending adoption

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets, including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which extends the effective date of Topic 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not completed its review of the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. However, based on the Company’s history of immaterial credit losses from trade receivables, management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional guidance, expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, subject to meeting the criteria, which participate in contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU No. 2020-04 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and permits optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships. The amendments of these updates are available to all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted these amendments. The Company’s management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New pronouncements adopted

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves fair value disclosure requirements by removing disclosures that are not cost beneficial, clarifying disclosures’ specific requirements and adding relevant disclosure requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on October 1, 2020, with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On October 2, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the assets of Amika Mobile Corporation (“Amika Mobile”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. Amika Mobile is a leading provider of integrated emergency critical communications based in Ottawa, Canada. The Company believes the Amika Mobile asset purchase will expand the Company’s enterprise software solutions and enhance the Company’s unified multi-channel critical communications platform.

 

The Amika Mobile asset purchase was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC Topic 805. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the purchase consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. The estimated fair value of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value.

 

The consideration consisted of the following:

 

Cash paid

  $ 4,367  

Asset purchase holdback liability

    613  

Common stock to be issued

    3,431  
    $ 8,411

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to deposit a holdback liability in the amount of CAD$1,000 into an interest-bearing account as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. The holdback amount will be released three years from the closing date subject to amounts withheld for actual, pending or potential claims. The Company also agreed to issue 191,267 shares of the Company’s common stock to the seller of the Amika Mobile assets on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. The total number of shares of common stock the Company is obligated to issue is 573,801. The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date was $5.98, resulting in an addition of $3,431 to additional paid-in-capital. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash on hand.

 

The Company incurred $264 in expenses related to this transaction through March 31, 2021. These expenses were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows: $22 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, $10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, $132 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and $100 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Useful Lives (in years)

 

Developed technology

  $ 2,500       7  

Customer relationships

    320       7  
    $ 2,820          

 

Identifiable intangible assets consist of certain technology and customer relationships purchased from Amika Mobile. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives based upon a number of assumptions, including the estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets acquired is 7 years. These intangible assets are classified as Level 3 in the ASC topic 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy.

 

The goodwill for Amika Mobile is attributable to combining the Company’s existing emergency communications solutions with the software and software development capabilities of Amika Mobile to enhance product offerings. Goodwill is also attributable to the skill level of the acquired workforce. The Company will continue to analyze the transaction and refine its calculations, as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Goodwill from the Amika Mobile asset purchase will not be deductible for tax purposes.

 

 
 

5.

REVENUE RECOGNITON

 

The Company adopted the guidance in Topic 606 on October 1, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard using the full retrospective approach.

 

Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract(s) with customers

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations

3.

Determine the transaction price

 

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

 

5.

Recognize revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied

 

Topic 606 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products to customers, contracts, license fees, other services and freight. The Company sells its products through its direct sales force and through authorized resellers and system integrators. The Company recognizes revenue for goods including software when all the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, no continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership of the goods is retained, no effective control over the goods sold is retained, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Software license revenue, maintenance and/or software development service fees may be bundled in one arrangement or may be sold separately.

 

Product Revenue

 

Product revenue is recognized as a distinct single performance obligation when products are tendered to a carrier for delivery, which represents the point in time that the Company’s customer obtains control of the products. A smaller portion of product revenue is recognized when the customer receives delivery of the products. A portion of products are sold through resellers and system integrators based on firm commitments from an end user, and as a result, resellers and system integrators carry little or no inventory. The Company’s customers do not have a right to return product unless the product is found defective and therefore the Company’s estimate for returns has historically been insignificant

 

Perpetual licensed software

 

The sale and/or license of software products is deemed to have occurred when a customer either has taken possession of, or has the ability to take immediate possession of, the software and the software key. Perpetual software licenses can include one-year maintenance and support services. In addition, the Company sells maintenance services on a stand-alone basis and is therefore capable of determining their fair value. On this basis, the amount of the embedded maintenance is separated from the fee for the perpetual license and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period to which the maintenance relates.

 

Time-based licensed software

 

The time-based license agreements include the use of a software license for a fixed term, generally one-year, and maintenance and support services during the same period. The Company does not sell time-based licenses without maintenance and support services and therefore revenues for the entire arrangements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term.

 

Warranty, maintenance and services

 

The Company offers extended warranty, maintenance and other services. Extended warranty and maintenance contracts are offered with terms ranging from one to several years, which provide repair and maintenance services after expiration of the original one-year warranty term. Revenues from separately priced extended warranty and maintenance contracts are recognized based on time elapsed over the service period and classified as contract and other revenues. Revenue from other services such as training or installation is recognized when the service is completed.

 

Multiple element arrangements

 

The Company has entered into a number of multiple element arrangements, such as the sale of a product or perpetual licenses that may include maintenance and support (included in the price of perpetual licenses) and time-based licenses (that include embedded maintenance and support, both of which may be sold with software development services, training, and other product sales). In some cases, the Company delivers software development services bundled with the sale of the software. In multiple element arrangements, the Company uses either the stand-alone selling price or an expected cost plus margin approach to determine the fair value of each element within the arrangement, including software and software-related services such as maintenance and support. In general, elements in such arrangements are also sold on a stand-alone basis and stand-alone selling prices are available.

 

Revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each individual element and is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above are met, except for time-based licenses which are not unbundled. When software development services are performed and are considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue from the software development services on a stage of completion basis, and the revenue from the software when the related development services have been completed.

The Company disaggregates revenue by reporting segment (Hardware and Software) and geographically to depict the nature of revenue in a manner consistent with the Company’s business operations and to be consistent with other communications and public filings. Refer to Note 19, Segment Information and Note 20, Major Customers, Suppliers and Related Information for additional details of revenues by reporting segment and disaggregation of revenue.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company enters into contracts to sell products and provide services and recognizes contract assets and liabilities that arise from these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue and corresponding accounts receivable according to Topic 606 and, at times, recognizes revenue in advance of the time when contracts give the Company the right to invoice a customer. The Company may also receive consideration, per terms of a contract, from customers prior to transferring goods to the customer. The Company records customer deposits as a contract liability. Additionally, the Company may receive payments, most typically for service and warranty contracts, at the onset of the contract and before the services have been performed. In such instances, a deferred revenue liability is recorded. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after all revenue recognition criteria are met. The table below shows the balance of contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, including the change between the periods. The current portion of contract liabilities and the non-current portion are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities, noncurrent”, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 11, Accrued Liabilities for additional details.

Current portion at March 31, 2021

  $ 3,169     $ 620     $ 3,789  

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations related to Topic 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations under an original contract with a term greater than one year, which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period.

 

As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $4,003. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $3,789 or 95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

 

Practical Expedients 

 

In cases where the Company is responsible for shipping after the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company has elected to treat these activities as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company has elected to capitalize the cost to obtain a contract only if the period of amortization would be longer than one year. The Company only gives consideration to whether a customer agreement has a financing component if the period of time between transfer of goods and services and customer payment is greater than one year. The Company also utilizes the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value the Company is providing to the customer.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

  Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

   

10

(in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

  Level 2:  Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.
     
  Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities was determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company did not have any marketable securities in the Level 3 category as of March 31, 2021 or September 30, 2020. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

 

Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Cash equivalents and marketable securities: The following tables present the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities’ costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value by major security type recorded as cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Unrealized gains and losses from the remeasurement of marketable securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until recognized in earnings upon the sale or maturity of the security.

Foreign currency forward contract: In August 2020, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract as an economic hedge against exposure to changes in the Canadian dollar in connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase. At September 30, 2020, the notional value of the foreign currency forward contract was CAD$6,955 with a maturity date in October 2020. The foreign currency forward contract was classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value were based on quoted market prices. On October 1, 2020, the foreign currency forward contract was settled for CAD$6,955 (USD$5,281), resulting in a realized loss of $48 on the contract that was recorded in earnings as other income (expense). The foreign currency forward contract liability was recorded in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of Genasys Spain and the Amika Mobile asset purchase and is due to combining the integrated emergency critical communications, mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities with existing hardware products for enhanced offerings and the skill level of the acquired workforces. The Company periodically reviews goodwill for impairment in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Customer Deposits

 

Customer deposits represent amounts paid by customers as a down payment on hardware orders to be delivered during the next twelve months.

 

Accrued contract costs

 

Accrued contract costs consist of accrued expenses for contracting a third-party service provider to fulfill repair and maintenance obligations required under a contract with a foreign military for units sold in the year ended September 30, 2011. Payments to the service provider will be made annually upon completion of each year of service. A new contract was signed with the customer in May 2019 to continue repair and maintenance services through May 2024. These services are being recorded in cost of revenues to correspond with the revenues for these services.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

Changes in the warranty reserve and extended warranty were as follows:

 

   

March 31,

   

September 30,

 
   

2021

Warranty provision

    37       16  

Warranty settlements

    (19 )     (40 )

Ending balance

  $ 144     $ 126  

 

The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period and adjusts the accrued warranty liability to an amount equal to estimated warranty expense for products currently under warranty.

Asset purchase holdback liability

 

In connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase, the Company recorded a holdback liability related to future adjustments to assets and liabilities. Adjustments of up to CAD$1,000 (USD$794) will be deducted from the asset purchase holdback liability for up to three years from the closing date. The liability is recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

12. DEBT

 

In connection with the acquisition of Genasys Spain the Company assumed certain debts of Genasys Spain. The carrying value of the acquired debt approximates fair value. The balances of the acquired debt consist of loans with governmental agencies as of March 31, 2021. Loans with governmental agencies represent interest free debt granted by ministries within Spain for the purpose of stimulating economic development and promoting research and development. Loans with governmental agencies as of March 31, 2021 are as follows:

This loan is secured by $282 of cash pledged as collateral by Genasys Spain, which is the current balance of the loan. This amount is included in restricted cash at March 31, 2021. The Company expects the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness to declare the terms of the loan satisfied within the next twelve months and that the outstanding balance of the loan will be paid in full during the next twelve months. Accordingly, this has been included in the current portion of notes payable as of March 31, 2021.

 

The following is a schedule of future annual payments as of March 31, 2021:

Revolving line of credit

 

On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. for a $10 million revolving line of credit. Outstanding balances on the revolving line of credit bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.25%. The agreement contains a provision for determining an alternative interest rate index in the event the LIBOR rate is no longer available. The agreement contains standard covenants, including affirmative financial covenants, such as the maintenance of a short-term liquidity ratio and a senior leverage ratio, in addition to negative covenants which limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, loans and equity investments, disposition of assets, mergers and consolidations and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The maturity date of this revolving line of credit is March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2021, there were no borrowings on the revolving line of credit. The Company incurred and capitalized $38 of issuance costs related to this revolving line of credit. These issuance costs have and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan.

 

 

13. LEASES

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The guidance in Topic 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Additionally, the portfolio approach is used in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. The operating ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred.

(Unaudited)

 

The Company entered into operating leases for office and production facilities and equipment under agreements that expire at various dates through 2028. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new lease standard. In electing the practical expedient package, the Company is not required to reassess whether an existing or expired contract is or contains a lease, reassess the lease classification for expired or existing leases nor reassess the initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the adoption of Topic 842. The Company also elected the short-term lease exemption such that the new lease standard was applied to leases greater than one year in duration. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

For leases beginning on or after October 1, 2019, lease components are accounted for separately from non-lease components for all asset classes. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal provisions and escalating rental clauses and generally require the Company to pay utilities, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses. The renewal provisions of existing lease agreements were not included in the determination of the operating lease liabilities and the operating ROU assets. Variable payments such as excess usage fees on existing equipment leases were not included in the determination of the lease liabilities and the operating ROU assets as the achievement of the specified target that triggers the variable lease payment is not considered probable. In addition, the Company’s facility lease in Spain has an escalating lease clause based on a consumer price index which is considered a variable lease payment and is not included in the determination of the lease liability and operating ROU asset. A 10% increase in the index would increase the total lease liability approximately $19. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

Upon adoption of Topic 842 as of October 1, 2019, the Company recognized on its consolidated balance sheet an initial measurement of approximately $7,815 of operating lease liabilities, and approximately $5,824 of corresponding operating ROU assets, net of tenant improvement allowances. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the transition to Topic 842.

14. INCOME TAXES

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $278 reflecting an effective tax rate of 22.1%. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $269 reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.6%. The Company continues to maintain a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the Company believes that the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets outweighs the positive evidence.

 

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. If interest or penalties are assessed, the Company would recognize these charges as income tax expense. The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for uncertain tax positions.

 

 

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

 

Bonus Plan

 

The Company has a bonus plan for employees, in accordance with their terms of employment, whereby they can earn a percentage of their salary based on meeting targeted objectives for orders received, revenue, operating income and operating cash flow. In the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $898 of bonus expense. In the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $400 of bonus expense.

 

Amika Mobile Asset Purchase

 

In connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase, the Company recorded a holdback liability related to future adjustments to assets and liabilities. Adjustments of up to CAD$1,000 (USD$794) will be deducted from the asset purchase holdback liability for up to three years from the closing date. The liability is recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company also agreed to issue 191,267 shares of the Company’s common stock to the former owners of Amika Mobile on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. The total number of shares of common stock the Company is obligated to issue is 573,801. The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date was $5.98, resulting in the addition of $3,431 to additional paid-in-capital.

16. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock Option Plans

 

At March 31, 2021, the Company had two equity incentive plans. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005 Equity Plan”) was terminated with respect to new grants in March 2015 but remains in effect for grants issued prior to that time. The Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Equity Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 6, 2016 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on March 14, 2017. The 2015 Equity Plan was amended by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 8, 2020 to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. On March 16, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved a plan amendment. The 2015 Equity Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards, to an aggregate of 10,000,000 new shares of common stock to employees, directors, advisors or consultants. At March 31, 2021, there were options and restricted stock units outstanding covering 92,500 and 2,956,887 shares of common stock under the 2005 Equity Plan and 2015 Equity Plan, respectively and 5,206,915 shares of common stock available for grant for a total of 8,256,302 shares of common stock currently authorized and unissued under the two equity plans.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s employee stock options have various restrictions that reduce option value, including vesting provisions and restrictions on transfer and hedging, among others, and are often exercised prior to their contractual maturity.

 

There were 245,000 stock options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2021. There were 1,133,727 stock options granted during fiscal 2020. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2021 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions (annualized percentages):

 

   

Six months ended

 
   

March 31,

 
   

2021

   

2020

 

Volatility

    48.5%       44.5%  

Risk-free interest rate

    0.6%       1.4%  

Dividend yield

    0.0%       0.0%  

Expected term

    6.8       5.4  

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The contractual term of the options was seven years. The expected term is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Such revision adjustments to expense will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company has not paid a dividend in fiscal 2021 and did not pay a dividend in fiscal 2020.

 

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $812 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding employee stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. To the extent the forfeiture rate is different from what the Company anticipated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations.

 

Performance-Based Stock Options

 

On August 1, 2016, the Company awarded a performance-based stock option (PVO) to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a key executive, with a contractual term of seven years. At the grant date, there were 375,000 performance-based stock options assigned to performance criteria within each of fiscal 2019 and 2020. Vesting is based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria for each of fiscal 2019 and 2020 including a minimum free cash flow margin and net revenue targets. Additionally, vesting is subject to the executive being employed by the Company at the time the Company achieves such financial targets.  

 

The Company determined that certain performance conditions related to the 2019 and 2020 performance criteria were achieved. 187,500 options related to the 2019 performance criteria vested and 375,000 options related to the 2020 performance criteria vested. The Company recorded a total of $459 in stock-based compensation expense for these options through September 30, 2020, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Additionally, vesting is subject to the executive being employed by the Company at the time the Company achieves such financial targets. The Company has not recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these options.

Overview

Genasys Inc. is a global provider of critical communications hardware and software solutions designed to help keep people safe.  Our unified platform encompasses a multi-channel approach to deliver alerts, notifications, instructions, and information before, during, and after public safety and enterprise threats, critical events, and other crisis situations.

 

Our multi-channel approach includes:

 

 

LRAD® (Long Range Acoustic Device®), the world’s leading Acoustic Hailing Device (“AHD”), projects sirens and audible voice messages with exceptional vocal clarity in a 30° beam from close range to 5,500 meters.

 

 

GEM (Genasys Emergency Management) is our unified software platform for cloud, on-premise or hybrid operations that supports 2-way communications and seamlessly integrates with physical systems to initiate life-safety actions in defined geographic areas. GEM receives and manages simultaneous inputs from panic buttons, government agency or weather alert feeds, sensor events from digital thermometers, access control, fire panels, camera systems, and more. Using the information derived from the inputs, GEM delivers alerts and notifications on multiple channels, including SMS, MMS, desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone pop-ups, social media, VoIP, callouts, public address, overhead displays, digital signs, tickers, RSS feeds, and email on any platform.

 

 

Integrated Mass Notification Systems (IMNS) span multiple hardware and software notification channels to reach at risk individuals and populations. These systems include Genasys voice arrays, which project sirens and audible voice messages 60° - 360° with industry-leading vocal clarity from close range to more than 14 square kilometers, and GEM software designed to deliver SMS, text, email, and social media alerts to people at risk in defined geographic areas. Our IMNS solutions are compatible with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (“IPAWS”) and other major emergency warning protocols.

 

The Company’s critical communication systems are being used in 72 countries throughout the world in a range of diverse applications, including public safety, emergency warning, mass notification, defense, law enforcement, critical event management, and many more. We continue to develop new communication innovations and believe we have significant competitive advantages in our principal markets.

 

LRAD systems represent a technological breakthrough in broadcasting audible, highly intelligible voice messages and tones over long distances and high ambient noise using minimal power. By broadcasting audible voice messages with exceptional vocal clarity and only where needed, we offer novel sound applications that conventional bullhorns, loudspeakers, public address, and emergency warning systems cannot achieve. Our LRAD systems are designed to enable users to safely hail and warn, inform and direct, prevent misunderstandings, determine intent, establish large safety zones, resolve uncertain situations, and save lives. The LRAD product line is comprised of a full range of AHDs and communication solutions - from portable devices to permanently installed, remotely operated systems. We continue to expand into new markets and add new models and features to meet customer requirements.

 

Building on the success of our LRAD systems, we designed and developed our multidirectional Genasys mass notification product line. Unlike siren-only installations, our public safety mass notification hardware systems broadcast both emergency warning sirens and highly intelligible voice messages with uniform 60° - 360° coverage over local and wide areas. We believe our ability to shape the broadcast coverage area, our industry-leading speech intelligibility, and our multiple system activation and control options enable us to successfully compete in the large and growing mass notification market.

 

25

 

GEM is our cloud, on-premise or hybrid based software notification platform that enables emergency personnel, first responders, municipalities, companies, educational institutions, and government agencies to send public safety warnings and notifications to the mobile devices and desktop computers of individuals or populations in specific geographic areas with reliability, speed and ease. Alerts and notifications can be sent from a desktop or our mobile applications.

 

Genasys offers the only unified critical communications platform that provides multi-modal, geo-targeted mobile device alerts and speaker arrays that broadcast audible messages with industry-leading vocal clarity and area coverage. Our user-friendly software interface and mobile application manages and delivers notifications and information to people at risk, before, during, and after crisis situations.

 

Business developments in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021:

 

 

Opened international offices in Dubai and Singapore as part of planned regional expansion

 

 

Awarded software services contract from Spain's Ministry of the Interior

 

 

Announced Government of Canada COVID vaccination tracking software project

 

 

Received multi-year enterprise software services contract from global automobile manufacturer for its operations in North America

 

 

Signed a $10 million revolving line of credit with MUFG Union Bank, N.A.

 

Revenues in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, were $11.3 million, an increase from $8.3 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2020. The increase in revenues was driven by increases of AHD, IMNS and software revenues. AHD revenue was $9,797, an increase of $2,505 or 34%, IMNS revenue was $826, an increase of $255 or 45%, and software revenue of $676, an increase of $262 or 63%, compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2020. Based on the timing of government budget cycles, financial issues, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and leadership change in certain areas of the world, delays in awarding contracts often occur, resulting in uneven quarterly revenues. Gross profit increased compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily as a result of higher sales. Operating expenses increased 30% from the prior year quarter, from $3.7 million to $4.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The second fiscal quarter of 2021 results reflect $283 of income tax expense, compared to $97 in the prior year quarter. We reported net income of $262 for the quarter, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $302, or $0.01 per share, for the same quarter in the prior year.

 

Overall Business Outlook

 

Our product line-up continues to gain worldwide awareness and recognition through media exposure, product demonstrations, and word of mouth as a result of positive responses and increased acceptance of our products. We believe we have a solid global brand, technology, and product foundation with our LRAD systems and IMNS solutions, which we have expanded over the years to serve new markets and customers for greater business growth.  We believe that we have strong market opportunities for our product offerings throughout the world in the homeland security and defense sectors as a result of increasing threats to government, commerce, law enforcement, borders, and critical infrastructure. Our directional and multidirectional product offerings also have many applications within the fire rescue, public safety, maritime, asset protection, and wildlife preservation business segments.

 

The proliferation of natural disasters, crisis situations, and civil unrest require technologically advanced, multi-channel solutions to deliver clear and timely critical communications to help keep the public safe during emergencies. Businesses are also incorporating communication systems that locate and help safeguard employees when critical events occur.

 

By providing the only unified platform that combines audible, highly intelligible voice broadcast systems and mass messaging software, Genasys seeks to deliver reliable, fast, and intuitive solutions for sending location-based audible voice communications and geolocation-targeted messages and texts to mobile devices to help keep the public and workers safe.

 

Genasys has developed a global market for LRAD systems and advanced emergency warning notification solutions. We have a reputation for producing quality products that feature industry-leading vocal intelligibility and geo-targeted mass messaging. While the mass notification market is more mature with many established manufacturers and suppliers, we believe that our advanced technology and unified multi-channel platform provides opportunities to succeed in the large and growing public safety, emergency warning, and mass notification markets. We also plan to expand and strengthen domestic and international sales by opening additional sales offices in key regions and adding strategic mass notification partners, distributors, and dealers.

 

We plan to continue building on our AHD leadership position by offering enhanced directional and multidirectional voice broadcast systems and accessories for an expanding range of applications. In executing our strategy, we use direct sales to governments, militaries, large end-users, and system integrators. We have built a worldwide distribution channel consisting of partners and resellers that have significant expertise and experience selling integrated communication solutions into our various target markets. As our primary AHD sales opportunities are with domestic and international government, military, and law enforcement agencies, we are subject to each customer’s unique budget cycle, which leads to long selling cycles and uneven revenue flow, complicating our product planning. 

 

26

 

In fiscal 2021, we intend to continue to pursue domestic and international business opportunities with the support of business development consultants, key representatives, and resellers. We plan to grow our revenues through increased direct sales to militaries and large commercial and defense-related companies that desire to integrate our communication technologies into their product offerings. This includes building on fiscal 2020 domestic defense sales by pursuing further U.S. military opportunities. We also plan to pursue mass notification, government, law enforcement, fire rescue, homeland and international security, private and commercial security, border security, maritime security, and wildlife preservation business opportunities. In addition to the matters above, we are authorized for the performance of services and provision of goods pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we monitor the developments and assess areas where there is potential for our business to be impacted. A significant portion of our sales force is working remotely, which could, among other things, negatively impact our ability to engage in sales-related initiatives, or efficiently conduct day-to-day operations. Other businesses and governments with which we engage are likely operating under similar restrictions and experiencing disruptions, which may create obstacles in the coordination of business activities, including the negotiation and fulfillment of orders. Disruptions in the supply chain could negatively impact our ability to source materials or manufacture and distribute products. While we do not currently anticipate a material reduction in demand for our commercialized products, we could experience a decrease in new orders, which could negatively impact our revenues and reduce our liquidity and cash flows. Growth in revenue could also be impeded by these factors. The financial markets have been subject to significant volatility that could impact our ability to enter into, modify, and negotiate favorable terms and conditions relative to equity and debt financing activities. We have $18.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021, which we believe provides sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months and withstand the potential near-term consequences of the pandemic, although liquidity constraints and access to capital markets could adversely impact our liquidity and warrant changes to our investment strategy. While we have not yet experienced a material impact, the full magnitude of the pandemic cannot be measured at this time, and therefore, any of the aforementioned circumstances, as well as other factors, may cause our results of operations to vary substantially from year to year and quarter to quarter.

 

Based on various standards published to date, we believe the work our associates perform is critical, essential and life sustaining. We are taking a variety of measures to promote the safety and security of our employees while ensuring the availability and functionality of our critical infrastructure. We are following Center for Disease Control guidelines to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, cancellation of events, the promotion of social distancing, the adoption of work-from-home arrangements, and limiting access to our facilities. Some or all of these policies and initiatives could impact our operations. In addition, the following events related to the COVID-19 pandemic could result in lost or delayed revenue to the Company: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic, or local, state or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; unforeseen deviations from customers or foreign governments restricting the ability to do business; and, limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis, if at all.

 

A large number of components and sub-assemblies produced by outside suppliers within our supply chain are produced within 50 miles of our facility. We source a small amount of component parts from suppliers in China. It is also likely that some of our suppliers source parts in China. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted worldwide supply chains and the ability to obtain sufficient amounts of component parts, including semiconductor chips and integrated circuits, resins, coating and other equipment and components. Negative impacts on our supply change could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are in contact with our suppliers and evaluating what impact, if any, may result from COVID-19.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The tables above set forth for the periods indicated certain items of our condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes contained in this report.

 

Revenues

 

Revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to the timing of deliveries in backlog as of December 31, 2020, as compared to December 31, 2019. Current year quarter AHD revenue was $9,797, up $2,505 or 34%, IMNS revenue was $826, up $255 or 45%, and software revenue was $676, up $262 or 63%, compared to the same prior year period. The receipt of orders is often uneven due to the timing of government budgets or approvals. The increase in software revenue in this year’s period is primarily from professional services revenue on new software contracts. As of March 31, 2021, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $834 for extended warranty obligations and software support agreements.

 

Gross Profit

 

The increase in gross profit in the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the higher level of revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was lower in the fiscal 2021 second quarter due to a 56% increase in engineering personnel, primarily software related. Higher software expenses were due primarily to the recent addition of the Amika Mobile business (through our Genasys Communication Canada subsidiary), and additional employees to support the Australia, EU and enterprise software initiatives.

 

Our products have varying gross margins, so product mix may affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

 

28

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,092, or 40%, over the prior year quarter primarily due to a 67% increase in sales and marketing personnel over the prior year to support future revenue growth opportunities, including opening sales offices in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. This was partially offset by lower travel and marketing expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 of $309 and $283, respectively.

 

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities, including the June 2022 European Mandate for Public Warning Systems and enterprise software services. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased $11, essentially unchanged compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

 

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, was $10 and $6, respectively, of non-cash share-based compensation costs.

 

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of development projects, amount of support provided on customer projects, and the timing and use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings, and we expect to continue to expand our product line with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we may expend additional resources on research and development in the current year compared to the prior year.

 

Net Loss/Income

 

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 was $262, a decrease of $40 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The decrease was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses offsetting the increased revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.

The tables above set forth for the periods indicated certain items of our condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes contained in this report.

 

Revenues

Revenues increased 13% for the six-months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the timing for delivery of the backlog at September 30, 2020 compared to the September 30, 2019 backlog. AHD revenue was $16,866 for the current year six-month period, up $1,826, or 12%, IMNS revenue was $1,144, down $37, or 3%, and software revenue was $1,317, up $480 or 57% compared to the same prior year period. The receipt of orders will often be uneven due to the timing of approvals or budgets. As of March 31, 2021, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $834 for extended warranty obligations and software support agreements.

 

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in the six months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher sales volume. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was lower compared to the prior year period primarily due to an 82% increase in software engineering personnel over last year. Higher software expenses were due primarily to the recent addition of Amika Mobile (through our Genasys Communications Canada subsidiary), and additional employees to support the Australia, EU and enterprise software initiatives.

 

Our products have varying gross margins, so product mix may affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,601 or 29%, in the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a 67% increase in sales and marketing personnel over the prior year to support future revenue growth opportunities. This was partially offset by lower travel and marketing expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

30

 

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 of $479 and $427, respectively.

 

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased $7, essentially unchanged compared to the prior year period.

 

Included in research and development expenses for both of the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $16 of non-cash share-based compensation costs.

 

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, amount of support provided on customer projects, and the timing and use of outside consulting, design, and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings, and we expect to continue to expand our product line with new products, customizations, and enhancements. Based on current plans, we may expend additional resources on research and development in the current year compared to the prior year.

 

Net Loss/Income

 

Net loss of $357 for the first six months of fiscal 2021 was a decrease of $1,279 compared to the $922 of net income in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the higher operating expenses, partially offset by the higher revenue, in the current year period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2021 was $18,455, down $4,864 compared to $23,319 at September 30, 2020. We had short-term marketable securities of $5,474 at March 31, 2021, compared to $4,265 at September 30, 2020. We had long-term marketable securities of $2,450 at March 31, 2021, compared to $3,805 at September 30, 2020. In addition, we have a $10 million line of credit with MUFG Bank, N.A. At March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding balance against the line of credit. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and at March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Other than cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, other working capital, expected future cash flows from operating activities in subsequent periods and the line of credit, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

 

Principal factors that could affect our liquidity include:

 

 

ability to meet sales projections;

 

government spending levels;

 

introduction of competing technologies;

 

product mix and effect on margins;

 

ability to reduce current inventory levels;

 

product acceptance in new markets;

 

value of shares repurchased;

 

value of dividends declared;

 

impact of COVID-19 on global market conditions; and

 

impact of COVID-19 on customers’ ability to pay.

 

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

 

 

volatility in the capital markets; and

 

market price and trading volume of our common stock.

 

Based on our current cash position, and assuming currently planned expenditures and level of operations, we believe we have sufficient capital to fund operations for the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance of the interim financial information. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Operating Activities

 

Net loss of $357 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 was offset by $1,864 of non-cash items that included depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, operating ROU asset amortization, warranty provision, inventory obsolescence, both realized and unrealized loss on a foreign currency forward contract and a reduction to deferred income taxes. Cash used in operating activities for the current year reflected a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $1,363, primarily for a $514 decrease in customer deposits resulting from shipments for the year to date and $491 of net lower accrued payroll and related liabilities, an increase of $698 in inventory to support the current backlog, a $253 increase in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts receivable of $14. Cash provided by operating activities included an increase in accounts payable of $1,184, primarily for inventory related purchases.

 

Net income of $922 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was increased by $1,547 of non-cash items that included a reduction to deferred income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, warranty provision, and inventory obsolescence. Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended March 31, 2020 reflected a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $3,036, primarily for a $1,797 decrease in customer deposits resulting from shipments for the year to date, and $825 lower accrued payroll and related liabilities largely for the payment of incentive compensation earned in fiscal 2019, an increase in accounts receivable of $2,205 due to higher sales with net credit terms in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, and an increase of $1,214 in inventory to support the current backlog. Cash used in operating activities included an increase in accounts payable of $1,072, primarily for inventory related purchases, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other of $787.

 

We had accounts receivable of $5,445 as of March 31, 2021, compared to $5,442 at September 30, 2020. Terms with individual customers vary greatly. We regularly provide thirty-day terms to our customers if credit is approved. Our receivables can vary dramatically due to overall sales volume, quarterly variations in sales, timing of shipments to and receipts from large customers, payment terms, and the timing of contract payments.

 

As of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, our working capital was $26,481 and $29,796, respectively. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the use of cash to complete the Amika Mobile asset purchase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

 

Investing Activities

 

Our net cash used in investing activities was $4,375 for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to cash used in investing activities of $144 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. In the first six months of fiscal 2021, $4,367 was used for the Amika Mobile asset purchase. In the first six months of fiscal 2021, we decreased our holdings of short and long-term marketable securities by $140, compared to an increase of $42 in the six months ended March 31, 2020. Cash used in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment was $148 and $102 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We anticipate additional expenditures for tooling and equipment during the balance of fiscal year 2021.

 

Financing Activities

 

In the six months ended March 31, 2021, we used $27 for financing activities, compared to a use of $198 for financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2020. In the first six months of fiscal 2021 we received $170 from the exercise of stock options, which was offset by $141 of cash used to settle statutory tax withholding requirements on behalf of our employees upon vesting of restricted stock awards. During the first six months of fiscal 2020, proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $258 and we used $398 to repurchase company common stock.

 

In December 2018, the Board of Directors approved a new share buyback program beginning January 1, 2019 under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, no shares were repurchased. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 156,505 shares were repurchased for $398,255. As of March 31, 2021, all repurchased shares were retired. As of March 31, 2021, $4.1 million was available for share repurchase under this program. In December 2020, the Board of Directors extended this program’s expiration date to December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New pronouncements issued for future implementation are discussed in Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal. The transactions of our Spanish subsidiary are denominated primarily in Euros and the transactions of our Canadian subsidiary are denominated primarily in Canadian dollars, which is a natural hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. Currency translation gains and losses are primarily related to our Spanish and Canadian subsidiaries, whereby assets and liabilities are translated from the respective functional currency into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, which impacts other comprehensive income.

 

All other sales to customers and all arrangements with third-party manufacturers, with one exception, provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect our business in the future.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures.

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.         Legal Proceedings.

 

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

 

Item 1A.         Risk Factors.

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on December 10, 2020 except for those noted below:

 

33

 

Supply chain disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted worldwide supply chains and the ability to obtain sufficient amounts of component parts, including semiconductor chips and integrated circuits, resins, coating and other equipment and components. Negative impacts on our supply change could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Reference rate reform. Borrowings under our credit facility with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. will bear an interest rate based on certain tenors of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that, after 2021, it will stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR. The discontinuation, reform, or replacement of LIBOR could result in interest rate increases, which could adversely affect our cash flows and operating results.
