We leverage industry-leading Photonic Integrated Chip (PIC), Quartz MEMS, and Lithium Niobate chip-level technology to deliver state-of-the-art component and system-level products across our end-market applications. Over the last three years, we have expanded our scale and portfolio of lasers and optical subsystems for use ininertial sensor products through the Cable TV ("CATV") industry. We pioneered the linear fiber optic transmission technology that enabled the world’s first delivery of CATV directly on fiber, and today are a leading provider of advanced products that enable communications systems and service providers to meet growing demand for increased bandwidth and connectivity. The technology at the heart of our broadband communications products is shared with our fiber optic gyroscope (“FOG”) and inertial sensors to provide the aerospace and defense markets with state-of-the-art navigation systems technology. With the acquisitionacquisitions of Systron Donner Inertial, Inc.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In our opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 20212022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of such date. For a more complete understanding of our business, financial position, operating results, cash flows, risk factors, and other matters, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.2022.
SignificantWe follow the Financial Accounting PoliciesStandards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and EstimatesOther (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires the completion of a goodwill impairment test at least annually based on either an optional qualitative assessment or a quantitative analysis comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value as of the test date. In the current interim period ending March 31, 2023, we have elected to change our annual test date from December 31st of each year to July 1st of each year, unless there are indications requiring a more frequent impairment test. Any impairment charges would be based on the quantitative analysis. We performed our last test at December 31, 2022 and will perform our next test on July 1, 2023.
ThereGoing Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been no material changesprepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles assuming we will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists.
We have recently experienced significant losses from our operations and used a significant amount of cash, amounting to a net loss of $23.9 million and net cash outflows from operations of $22.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, and we expect to continue to incur losses and use cash in our significant accounting policiesoperations as we continue to restructure our business. As a result of our recent cash outflows, we have taken actions to manage our liquidity and estimateswill need to continue to manage our liquidity as we continue to restructure our operations to focus on our Aerospace & Defense business. As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.8 million and we had $13.6 million available under our Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 11 - Credit Agreement in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
We are evaluating the sufficiency of our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and amounts expected to be available under our Credit Agreement, together with additional actions we could take (including those disclosedmade in connection with our Annual Reportrestructuring program announced in April 2023) to further reduce our expenses and/or potentially
raising capital through additional debt or equity issuances, or from the potential monetization of certain assets. However, we may not be successful in executing on Form 10-K forour plans to manage our liquidity, including recognizing the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.expected benefits from our previously announced restructuring program, or raising additional funds if we elect to do so, and as a result substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. If theseSuch estimates differ significantly from actual results,include accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, long-lived assets, product warranty liabilities, legal contingencies, income taxes, asset retirement obligations, and pension obligation, as well as the impactevaluation associated with the Company's assessment of its ability to the condensed consolidated financial statements may be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncementscontinue as a going concern.
We recently adopteddevelop estimates based on historical experience and on various assumptions about the followingfuture that are believed to be reasonable based on the best information available to us. Our reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting standards, which hadpolicies. In the following impacts onevent that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
NOTE 3. Acquisitions
On April 29, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the L3H S&N business for a total purchase price of approximately $5.0 million in cash, exclusive of transaction costs and expenses and subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments, resulting in a final adjusted purchase consideration transferred of $4.9 million. Following the closing, S&N results are included in our Aerospace and Defense (“A&D”) reportable segment and in our consolidated financial statements:statements beginning on the acquisition date. Revenue and net income of S&N of $6.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, is included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenue and net income of S&N of $12.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, is included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
In December 2019,On August 9, 2022, we completed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifyingacquisition of EMCORE Chicago pursuant to which we acquired substantially all of KVH's assets and liabilities primarily related to its FOG and Inertial Navigation Systems business, including property interests in the AccountingTinley Park Facility, for Income Taxes, which simplifiesaggregate consideration of approximately $55.0 million, exclusive of transaction costs and expenses and subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. Following the accountingclosing, EMCORE Chicago results are included in our A&D reportable segment and in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. Revenue and net income of EMCORE Chicago of $8.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, is included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenue and net income taxesof EMCORE Chicago of $16.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, is included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
Final Purchase Price Allocation
The total purchase price for the S&N acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Since the acquisition, the purchase price allocation for S&N changed by removing various exceptions, sucha $2.3 million reduction to contract assets and a $0.6 million reduction to asset retirement obligation, resulting in a corresponding increase to intangible assets and goodwill acquired. Goodwill is measured as the exceptionexcess of the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets.
The table below represents the final purchase price allocation to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operationsassets acquired and income or a gain from other items. The amendments in this update also simplifyliabilities assumed of S&N based on their estimated fair values as of the accounting for income taxes related to income-based franchise taxesacquisition date based on management’s best estimates and require that an entity reflect enacted tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there was a triggering event of negative cash flows and operating losses at the FOG asset group level within the Inertial Navigation product line of the A&D segment that indicated the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 360, with regard to our long-lived assets, we performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis and concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. Accordingly, we then performed an analysis to estimate the fair value of the other long-lived assets and recognized an impairment charge within operating expenses of $3.0 million against the FOG property, plant, and equipment by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group's other long-lived assets exceeded their estimated fair value for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020,2022.

NOTE 8. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets arose from the acquisition of SDI in fiscal year 2019 and the acquisitions of S&N and EMCORE Chicago in fiscal year 2022 and are reported within the A&D segment. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of: (a) 7.0 years for patents, (b) 8.0 years for customer relationships, and (c) 2.0-8.0 years for technology. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is indefinite-lived until completion of the related development project, at which point amortization of the carrying value of the technology will commence. Trademarks are indefinite-lived.

NOTE 9. Benefit Plans
We assumed a defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) on April 29, 2022 as a result of the acquisition of S&N. The Pension Plan was frozen to new hires as of March 31, 2007 and employees hired on or after April 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. On July 1, 2022, the Pension Plan was amended to freeze benefit plan accruals for participants. As a result of the freeze, a curtailment was triggered and a restatement of the benefit obligation and plan assets occurred, although no gain or loss resulted. The annual measurement date for the Pension Plan is September 30. Benefits are based on years of credited service at retirement. Annual contributions to the Pension Plan are not less than the minimum funding standards outlined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. We maintain the Pension Plan with the goal of ensuring that it is adequately funded to meet its future obligations. We did not make any contributions to the Pension Plan during the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and do not anticipate making any contributions for the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

We maintain directors and officers insurance, which covers certain liabilities relating to our obligation to indemnify our directors and executive officers in certain circumstances. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular claim.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these matters is currently not determinable and we are unable to estimate a range of loss, should a loss occur, from these proceedings. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates, and inherent uncertainties and the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Professional legal fees are expensed when incurred. We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
Should we fail to prevail in any legal matter, or should several legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, then the financial results of that particular reporting period could be materially affected.
Intellectual Property Lawsuits
We protect our proprietary technology by applying for patents where appropriate and, in other cases, by preserving the technology, related know-how, and information as trade secrets. The success and competitive position of our product lines are impacted by our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our research and development efforts. We have, from time to time, exchanged correspondence with third parties regarding the assertion of patent or other intellectual property rights in connection with certain of our products and processes.
Resilience Litigation
In February 2021, Resilience Capital (“Resilience”) filed a complaint against us with the Delaware Chancery Court containing claims arising from the February 2020 sale of SDI’s real property (the “Concord Property Sale”) located in Concord, California (the “Concord Real Property”) to Eagle Rock Holdings, LP (“Buyer”) and that certain Single-Tenant Triple Net Lease, dated as of February 10, 2020, entered into by and between SDI and the Buyer, pursuant to which SDI leased from the Buyer the Concord Real Property for a 15 year15-year term. The Resilience complaint seeks, among other items, (a) a declaration that the Concord Property Sale included a non-cash component;component, (b) a decree requiring us and Resilience to follow the appraisal requirements set forth in that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "SDI“SDI Purchase Agreement"Agreement”), dated as of June 7, 2019, by and among the Company, The Resilience Fund IV, L.P., The Resilience Fund IV-A, L.P., Aerospace Newco Holdings, Inc. and Ember Acquisition Sub, Inc.;, (c) recovery of Resilience’s costs and expenses;expenses, and (d) pre- and post-judgment interest.
In April 2021, we filed with the Delaware Chancery Court our answer to the Resilience complaint and counterclaims against Resilience, in which we are seeking, among other items, (a) dismissal of the Resilience complaint and/or granting of judgment in favor of EMCORE with respect to the Resilience complaint, (b) entering final judgment against Resilience awarding damages to us for Resilience’s fraud and breaches of the SDI Purchase Agreement in an amount to be proven at trial and not less than $1,565,000, (c) a judicial determination of the respective rights and duties of us and Resilience under the SDI Purchase Agreement, (d) an award to us of costs and expenses, and (e) pre- and post-judgment interest. We believe that
Subsequent to the period, on April 24, 2023, the Company and Resilience entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Resilience Settlement Agreement”). The material financial terms of the Resilience Settlement Agreement require (i) a payment of $500,000 by the Company to Resilience, (ii) an appraisal of the Concord Real Property as of January 2, 2020, which could trigger a further future payment by the Company in an amount to be determined by said appraisal, and (iii) a mutual release of all claims, madeincluding claims arising under the SDI Purchase Agreement, and a dismissal of the litigation by Resilienceall parties.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS"(“EPS”) is computed by dividing net (loss) income for the period by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) income for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units ("RSUs"(“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"(“RSAs”), performance stock units ("PSUs"(“PSUs”), and stock options and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") as applicable pursuant to the treasury stock method. Certain of the
Company's outstanding share-based awards, noted in the table above, were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but they could become dilutive in the future. The anti-dilutive stock options and shares of outstanding and unvested restricted stock were excluded from the computation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the Company incurring a net loss for such period.

Restructuring
17
TableOn April 21, 2023, EMCORE Corporation announced a restructuring program (collectively, the "Restructuring") that includes the strategic shutdown of Contentsthe Company’s Broadband business segment (including the Company’s cable TV, wireless, sensing, and chips product lines) and the discontinuance of its defense optoelectronics product line (collectively, the "Discontinued Businesses"). On April 19, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Restructuring. Prior to the decision to effect the Restructuring, the Company's Board of Directors performed a thorough review of a number of factors including the competitive landscape, declining revenue and gross profit of the Discontinued Businesses, the current and expected profitability for the Discontinued Businesses, the Company’s cost structure and the Company’s strategic focus on the Company’s Aerospace and Defense business segment, and concluded that the Discontinued Businesses are non-strategic, currently unsustainable and cannot be restructured in a way that will allow the Company to achieve profitable growth and cash preservation. Additionally, the Company engaged in an effort to sell some or all of the Discontinued Businesses but had not been able to consummate any such transaction with a buyer, following several months of discussions with several interested parties, on terms that the Company’s Board of Directors believed were in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Company expects to exit the operations of the Discontinued Businesses by September 30, 2023. As a result of the Restructuring, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 75 positions in the U.S. (primarily in Alhambra, California) and approximately 25 positions in China, collectively representing approximately 22% of the Company’s workforce, and to consolidate facility space by reducing the space used at the Alhambra campus from five to two buildings (including closure of the Company’s indium phosphide wafer fabrication facility in Alhambra), relocating personnel in Concord, California to the operations area from the adjacent office building, and closing the Company’s manufacturing support and engineering center in China, collectively representing an approximately 25% reduction in the aggregate square footage occupied by the Company’s facilities.

Recent Developments
Restructuring
In April 2023, we initiated a restructuring program that includes the strategic shutdown of our Broadband business segment (including our cable TV, wireless, sensing and chips product lines) and the discontinuance of our defense optoelectronics product line. Our Board of Directors performed a thorough review of a number of factors including the competitive landscape, declining revenue and gross profit of these discontinued businesses, the current and expected profitability of these discontinued businesses, our cost structure, and our strategic focus on our Aerospace and Defense business segment, and concluded that these discontinued businesses are non-strategic, currently unsustainable, and cannot be restructured in a way that will allow us to achieve profitable growth and cash preservation. We expect to exit the operations of these discontinued businesses by September 30, 2023. As a result of this restructuring, the we expect to eliminate approximately 75 positions in the U.S. (primarily in Alhambra, California) and approximately 25 positions in China, collectively representing approximately 22% of our total workforce, and to consolidate facility space by reducing the space used at our Alhambra campus from five to two buildings (including closure of our indium phosphide wafer fabrication facility in Alhambra), relocating personnel in Concord, California to the operations area from the adjacent office building, and closing our manufacturing support and engineering center in China, collectively representing an approximately 25% reduction in the aggregate square footage occupied by our facilities. We expect this restructuring effort to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $12 million. As of the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the total amount or range of amounts that we expect to incur in connection with this restructuring. However, we anticipate that material cash and non-cash charges will be incurred and recorded in future reporting periods, including, without limitation, one-time employee severance and termination costs related to the restructuring of approximately $2.1 million (of which we expect approximately $0.5 million will be in non-cash, stock-based compensation expenditures relating to the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards). We expect to recognize substantially all of these charges in the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and that the restructuring implementation is anticipated to be substantially complete by September 30, 2023. We may incur additional expenses in connection with this restructuring that are not currently contemplated. The charges that we expect
to incur in connection with the restructuring are estimates and subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially.

We anticipate Broadband revenue to continue to be challenged in the near future due in part to inventory levels in the channel.
For theand six months ended March 31, 2022, our Broadband2023, Aerospace and Defense revenue increased $10.9 million, or 24.2%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by a $11.0 million increase in CATV Lasers and Transmittershigher Inertial Navigation revenue primarily due to increased customer demand.the acquisitions of S&N and EMCORE Chicago.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, Broadband revenue decreased compared to the same period in the prior year, due overwhelmingly to a substantial decline in sales of CATV Optical Transmitter and Components products. This market is historically cyclical. Following a significant COVID-19 related up-cycle during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and the early part of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, we are currently in a down-cycle with substantial inventory build-up in our sales channels. In April 2023, we initiated a restructuring program that includes the strategic shutdown of our Broadband business segment (including our cable TV, wireless, sensing and chips product lines) – See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Recent Developments under the heading “Restructuring” for additional information regarding the restructuring program.

Ourprofit is revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of raw materials, compensation expense, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, expenseamortization, accretion, and other manufacturing overhead costs, expenses associated with excess and obsolete inventories, and product warranty costs. Historically, our cost of revenuegross profit as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as our gross margin, has fluctuated significantly due to product mix, manufacturing yields, sales volumes, inventory, and specific product warranty charges, as well as the amount of our revenue relative to fixed manufacturing costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, consolidated gross margins were 27.6% and 38.1%, respectively. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation expense within cost of revenue totaled $0.2 million.

Order Backlog
Our product sales are made pursuant to purchase orders, often with short lead times. These orders are subject to revision or cancellation and often are made without deposits. Historically, for our CATV Lasers and Transmitters product line, products have typically shipped within the same quarter in which a purchase order is received, and therefore order backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual revenue or the level of orders for any succeeding period and may not be comparable to prior periods. In addition, demand for our CATV Lasers and Transmitters products has historically been cyclical, and therefore future revenue trends for this product line are difficult to determine. With respect to our Aerospace and Defense product lines, revenue growth is dependent to a significant extent on customer program schedules.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have recently experienced significant losses from our operations and used a significant amount of cash in connection with strategic acquisitions to further our strategy of focusing on our aerospace and defense business. As a result of our recent cash shortage, we have taken actions to manage our liquidity and will need to continue to experience an accumulated deficit, but have managedmanage our liquidity position through the sale of assets and cost reduction initiatives, as well as borrowings fromwe continue to restructure our Credit Facility and capital markets transactions.operations to focus on our Aerospace & Defense business. As of March 31, 2022,2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $80.9$24.8 million and net working capital totaled $117.2$67.0 million. Net working capital, calculated as current assets (including inventory) minus current liabilities, is a financial metric we use which represents available operating liquidity.
We have taken a number of actions to continue to support our operations and meet our obligations, including:
•In April 2023, we initiated a restructuring program that includes the strategic shutdown of our Broadband business segment (including our cable TV, wireless, sensing, and chips product lines) and the discontinuance of our defense optoelectronics product line. Our Board of Directors performed a thorough review of a number of factors including the competitive landscape, declining revenue and gross profit of these discontinued businesses, the current and expected profitability of these discontinued businesses, our cost structure, and our strategic focus on our Aerospace and Defense business segment, and concluded that these discontinued businesses are non-strategic, currently unsustainable, and cannot be restructured in a way that will allow us to achieve profitable growth and cash preservation. We maintainexpect to exit the operations of these discontinued businesses by September 30, 2023. As a creditresult of this restructuring, we expect to eliminate approximately 75 positions in the U.S. (primarily in Alhambra, California) and approximately 25 positions in China, collectively representing approximately 22% of our total workforce, and to consolidate facility space by reducing the space used at our Alhambra campus from five to two buildings (including closure of our indium
phosphide wafer fabrication facility in Alhambra), relocating personnel in Concord, California to the operations area from the adjacent office building, and closing our manufacturing support and engineering center in China, collectively representing an approximately 25% reduction in the aggregate square footage occupied by our facilities. We expect this restructuring effort to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $12 million. As of the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the total amount or range of amounts that we expect to incur in connection with
Wells Fargothis restructuring. However, we anticipate that
provides usmaterial cash and non-cash charges will be incurred and recorded in future reporting periods, including, without limitation, one-time employee severance and termination costs related to the restructuring of approximately $2.1 million (of which we expect that approximately $0.5 million will be in non-cash, stock-based compensation expenditures relating to the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards). We expect to recognize substantially all of these charges in the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and that the restructuring implementation is anticipated to be substantially complete by September 30, 2023. We may incur additional expenses in connection with
a revolving credit line of upthis restructuring that are not currently contemplated. The charges that we expect to

See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Recent Developments under the heading "Equity Offering"“Equity Offering” for additional information regarding the equity offering. •In October 2019,December 2022, we consummated the sale of the real property interests in the Tinley Park Facility to the Tinley Park Buyer, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.3 million, pursuant to the terms of the Tinley Park Purchase Agreement.
•In August 2022, we entered into the Hytera Asset PurchaseCredit Agreement with Wingspire that provides us with (a) an asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40.0 million, subject to a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory (subject to certain reserves), and (b) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5,965,000. As of March 31, 2023, an aggregate principal amount of $6.6 million was outstanding pursuant to which we agreed to sell certainthe revolving credit facility and an aggregate principal amount of our CATV Lasers and Transmitters manufacturing equipment for purposes of outsourcing manufacturing of our CATV Lasers and Transmitters product lines to Hytera. In August 2021, we entered into the Fastrain Asset Purchase Agreement,$5.5 million was outstanding pursuant to which, among other items, Fastrain agreed to purchase the same equipment subject to the Hytera Asset Purchase Agreement, along withterm loan facility, and an additional equipment,$13.6 million was available for aggregate consideration of $6.2 million.borrowing. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofNote 11 - Credit Agreement in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments under the heading "Hytera and Fastrain Transactions"Statements for additional information regarding the transactions with Hytera and Fastrain.Credit Agreement.
We believe that ourOur existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and amounts expected to be available under our Credit Facility (or a replacement facility, if any, to the extent the expiration of the Credit Facility occurs in
May 2022) will provide usAgreement, together with additional actions we could take to further reduce our expenses and/or additional funds we receive if we elect to raise capital through additional debt or equity issuances, or from our efforts to monetize certain assets, are anticipated to be sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for operations, working capital, and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
Should As a result, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, we require more capital than what is generated by our operations, we could engage in additional sales or other monetization of certain fixed assets and real estate, additional cost reductions, or elect to raise capital in the U.S. through debt or additional equity issuances. These alternatives may not be availablesuccessful in executing on our plans to us on reasonable terms or at all,manage our liquidity, including recognizing the expected benefits from our restructuring described above, and our ability to continue to operate as a going concern could be impaired, which could in turn cause a significant decline in our stock price and could result in higher effective tax rates, increased interest expense, and/or dilutiona significant loss of earnings.value for our shareholders.
Cash FlowThe Credit Agreement subjects us to various financial and other affirmative and negative covenants with which we must comply on an ongoing or periodic basis. These include financial covenants pertaining to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and covenants requiring the mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding under the revolver under specified circumstances. The agreements also subject us to various restrictions on our ability to engage in certain activities, such as raising capital or acquiring businesses. These restrictions may limit or restrict our cash flow and our ability to pursue business opportunities or strategies that we would otherwise consider to be in our best interests. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a cash dominion provision, requiring us to maintain a minimum amount of liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, this minimum amount of liquidity that we needed to maintain was $12.5 million. If we fall below this minimum amount of liquidity for a period of three consecutive days, or if there occurs an event of default under the Credit Agreement, then our lender can exercise certain rights, including taking control of our bank accounts and cash resources. In addition, if an event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement, our lenders can accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness under that agreement to make it due and payable immediately. If we trigger the cash dominion provision or if an event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement and if in either case our lenders elect to exercise their rights, we may not be able to pay our debts and other monetary obligations as they come due, and our ability to continue to operate as a going concern could be impaired, which could in turn cause a significant decline in our stock price and could result in a significant loss of value for our shareholders.

If we raise funds by issuing debt securities or incurring loans, this form of $11.5 million duefinancing would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our net incomethose of $0.2 million, positive adjustments for non-cash charges of $4.4 million, and improvements in our working capital components of $6.9 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million and stock based compensation expense of $2.2 million.
For the six months ended March 31, 2021, our operating activities provided cash of $1.8 million, primarily due to our net income of $7.0 million, and positive adjustments for non-cash charges of $3.9 million offset by changes in our working capital components of $9.1 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million and stock based compensation expense of $1.8 million.
Working Capital Components
Accounts Receivable We generally expect the level of accounts receivable at any given quarter end to reflect the level of sales in that quarter. Accounts receivable balances have fluctuated historically due to the timing of account collections, timing of product shipments, and/or change in customer credit terms.
Inventory We generally expect the level of inventory at any given quarter end to reflect the change in our expectations of forecasted sales during the quarter. Inventory balances have fluctuated historically due to the timing of customer orders and product shipments, changes in internal forecasts related to customer demand, as well as adjustments related to excess and obsolete inventory.
Accounts Payable The fluctuationholders of our accounts payable balances is primarily driven by changes in inventory purchases as well as changes related tocommon stock. The availability and the timingterms under which we can borrow additional capital could be disadvantageous, and the terms of actual payments to vendors.
Accrued Expenses Our largest accrued expense typically relates to compensation. Historically, fluctuationsdebt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. Macroeconomic conditions and credit markets could also impact the availability and cost of accrued expense accounts have primarily related to changes inpotential future debt financing. If we raise capital through the timingissuance of actual compensation payments, receipt or applicationadditional equity, such sales and issuance would dilute the ownership interests of advanced payments, adjustments to warranty accrual, and accruals related to professional fees.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of the date of this report, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments outside the ordinary course of business since September 30, 20212022 as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements may be material. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.2022. Please refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20212022 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of employees are now working from home. The design of processes, systems, and controls allows for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.
PART II. Other InformationOTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
See the disclosures under the caption “Legal Proceedings” in Note 1013 - Commitments and Contingencies in the notesNotes to condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to our legal proceedings, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021,2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.2022. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows.
We may be unable to realize the level of the anticipated benefits that we expect from exiting businesses and restructuring our operations, which may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
From time to time, we may decide to exit certain businesses or otherwise undertake restructuring, reorganization, or other strategic initiatives to realign our resources with our growth strategies, operate more efficiently and reduce costs. The successful implementation of our restructuring activities may from time to time require us to effect business and asset dispositions, workforce reductions, facility consolidations and closures, restructurings, management changes, reductions in investments, shut-downs or discontinuance of businesses, and other actions, each of which may depend on a number of factors that may not be within our control. For example, as described in more detail elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on April 21, 2023, we announced the shutdown of our Broadband business segment and the discontinuance of our defense optoelectronics product line.
Any such effort to restructure or streamline our organization may result in restructuring or other costs, such as severance and termination costs, contract and lease termination costs, asset impairment charges, and other costs. In particular, we expect that material cash and non-cash charges will be incurred and recorded in our future reporting periods as a result of the shutdown of our Broadband business segment and the discontinuance of our defense optoelectronics product line. Further, as a result of restructuring initiatives, we may experience a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge and proficiency, adverse effects on employee morale, loss of key employees and other retention issues. Reorganization and restructuring can impact a significant amount of management and other employees’ time and resources, which may divert attention from operating and growing our business. Further, upon completion of any restructuring initiatives, our business may not be more efficient or effective than prior to the implementation of the plan and we may be unable to achieve anticipated benefits, including cost savings, which would adversely affect our business, competitive position, operating results and financial condition.
