AUTOSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

(Unaudited) 

(Unaudited) 

September 30, 2017
2022

Note A: Basis of Presentation

On July 21, 2021, a holding company reorganization was completed (the "Reorganization") in which Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (referred("ISNS") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new parent company named "Autoscope Technologies Corporation" ("Autoscope"), which became the successor issuer to ISNS. As a result of the Reorganization, Autoscope replaced ISNS as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "AATC," and outstanding shares of ISNS's common stock automatically converted into shares of common stock of Autoscope. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as "we," "us," "our" and the "Company"), "we", "us" and "our" or its management or business at any time before the effective date of the Reorganization refer to those of ISNS as the predecessor company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and thereafter to Autoscope and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as otherwise specified or to the extent the context otherwise indicates. The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company's shareholders. Autoscope was incorporated on April 23, 2021 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and ISNS was incorporated in Minnesota on December 20, 1984. The Company develops and markets video and radar processing products for use in applications such as intersection control, highway, bridge and tunnel traffic management and traffic data collection. We sell our products primarily to distributors and also receive royalties under a license agreement with a manufacturer/distributor for certain of our products. Our products are used primarily by governmental entities.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is the opinion of management that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Operating results for the three and nine month-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 as filed with the SEC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following are particularly important to the portrayal of the Company's results of operations and financial position and may require the application of a higher level of judgment by the Company's management and, as a result, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue on a sales arrangement when itcontrol of the promised goods or services is realizedtransferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or realizableservices.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of a contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of performance obligations in the contract or contracts;

Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Product Sales:

Product revenue is generated primarily from the direct sales of an arrangement exists; deliveryour RTMS radar systems worldwide and title transfer have occurredour Autoscope video systems in Europe and Asia. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services have been rendered;is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the sales price is fixed and determinable; collectability is reasonably assured; and all significant obligationsamount we expect to the customer have been fulfilled.receive in exchange for those goods or services. 

Certain product sales may contain multiple elementsperformance obligations for revenue recognition purposes. We consider each deliverable that provides value to the customer on a standalone basis as a separable element. Separable elements in these arrangementsMultiple performance obligations may include the hardware, software, installation services, training, support, and support. We initially allocate considerationextended warranties.In arrangements where we have multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each separable elementperformance obligation using the relative stand-alone selling price method. Sellingprice.We generally determine stand-alone selling prices are determined by us based on either vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") (the actualthe observable stand-alone prices charged to customers. For performance obligations without observable stand-alone prices charged to customers, we evaluate the adjusted market assessment approach, the expected cost-plus margin approach, and stand-alone sales to estimate the stand-alone selling prices of similar products and services sold on a standalone basis) or, in the absence of VSOE, our best estimate of the selling price. Factors considered by us in determining estimated selling prices for applicable elements generally include overall economic conditions, customer demand, costs incurred by us to provide the deliverable, as well as our historical pricing practices. Under these arrangements, revenue associated with each delivered element is recognized in an amount equal to the lesser of the consideration initially allocated to the delivered element or the amount for which payment is not deemed contingent upon future delivery of other elements in the arrangement. Under arrangements where special acceptance protocols exist, installation services and training may not be considered separable. Under those circumstances, revenue for the entire arrangement is recognized upon the completion of installation, training and fulfillment of any other significant obligations specific to the terms of the arrangement. Arrangements that do not contain any separable elements are typically recognized when the products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer.prices.

Inventories

Inventories are primarily electronic components and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market onnet realizable value determined under the first-in, first-out accounting method.

Income Taxes

We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of theour reported results of operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of certain tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of the deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover the remaining net realizable value of our deferred tax assets. In the event thatIf all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results. We recognize penalties and interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Intangible Assets

We capitalize certain software development costs related to software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalized software development costs include purchased materials, services, internal labor and other costs associated with the development of new products and services. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time future costs incurred are capitalized until the product is available for general release to the public. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is generally established once product and detailed program designs have been completed, uncertainties related to high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing, and we have established that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available for production of the product. Once a software product is available for general release to the public, capitalized development costs associated with that product will begin to be amortized to cost of sales over the product's estimated economic selling life, using the greater of straight-line or a method that results in cost recognition in future periods that is consistent with the anticipated timing of product revenue recognition.

Capitalized software development costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability, which is impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenues and expenses for these software products, as well as other factors such as changes in product technologies. Any portion of unamortized capitalized software development costs that isare determined to be in excess of net realizable value hashave been expensed in the period in which such a determination is made. Subsequent to reaching technological feasibility for certain software products, we did not capitalize any software development cost in a prior quarter,the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and we capitalized approximately $305,000$534,000 and $507,000$178,000 of software development costs during the quartersnine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited by future cash flows and reviewed for impairment. At both September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, we determined there was no impairment of intangible assets. At both September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, there were no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Investments in Debt Securities 

We classify investments in debt securities on the acquisition date and at each balance sheet date.  At March 31, 2022, all of our investments in debt securities were classified as held-to-maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.  Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.  Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security using the straight-line method.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we changed the classification of $3.4 million in fair value of our held-to-maturity debt securities to available-for-sale debt securities due to our sales of some of the held-to-maturity securities and that sale being inconsistent with our former intent to hold the securities to maturity. The difference between the reclassified securities' amortized cost and fair value at the date of transfer of $62,000 was recognized as an unrealized loss recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income during the second quarter of 2022.  As of September 30, 2022, all investments in debt securities were classified as available-for-sale.

Investments in Equity Securities

We carry all investments in equity securities at fair value and record the subsequent changes in values in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of investment income or loss.

Note B: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting pronouncements net yet adopted

In MarchJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-092016-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 718326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13")."  The amendments adopted in ASU 2016-09 provides2016-13, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.  Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses.  In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU Nos 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03.  These ASUs have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters.  Smaller reporting companies who file with the SEC and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance on how an entity should account for stock compensation. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 provides guidance on how an entity should account for leases and recognize associated lease assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and it provides for certain practical expedients.In addition, the transition will require application of ASU 2016-02 at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.We are currently determining our implementation approach and assessing the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 provides guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 specifies accounting for costs associated with obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers and expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.


On July 9, 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. As a result, public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans will apply this revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.All other entities will apply ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Additionally, the FASB affirmed its proposal to permit all entities to apply ASU 2014-09 early, but not before the original effective date for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans (that is, annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Entities choosing to implement early will apply ASU 2014-09 to all interim reporting periods within the year of adoption.2022.  The Company is currently determiningevaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016‑13 on its implementation approach and assessingconsolidated financial statements.


The adoption of ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase in the allowance for bad debt on the Company's account receivables as a result of changing from an "incurred loss" model, which encompasses allowances for current known losses, to an "expected loss" model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred on the Company's receivables.  While we are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, we expect the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements. adoption to be immaterial. 

 

Note C: Fair Value Measurements

The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:


Level 1:

observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;


Level 2:

inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and


Level 3: 

unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.


Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 - inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Nonfinancial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Our intangible assets and other long-lived assets are nonfinancial assets that were acquired either as part of a business combination, individually or with a group of other assets. These nonfinancial assets were initially, and have historically been, measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined as of the date of acquisition.

Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value

Certain of our financial instruments are not measured at fair value and are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value, based on their short-term nature or variable interest rate. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current financial assets and liabilities.

The 2014 Plan and awards granted under the 2014 Plan were assumed by Autoscope in the Reorganization.  Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our stock on the day before the date of grant. Generally, options vest proportionallyratably over periods ofthree to five years from the dates of the grant, beginning one year from the date of grant, and have a contractual term of nine to ten10 years.

Performance stock options are time based; however, the final number of awards earned and the related compensation expense are adjusted up or down to the extent the performance target is met. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 90% to 100% of the targeted amount if the minimum performance target is achieved. We evaluate the likelihood of meeting the performance target at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense, on a cumulative basis, based on the expected achievement of each performance target.

Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021 was $76,000$61,000 and $100,000,57,000, respectively.Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021 was $229,000$329,000 and $160,000, $164,000, respectively. At September 30, 2017, 211,8432022, 603,654 shares were available for grant under the Company's stock option and incentive plan.2014 Plan.

ThereStock options to purchase 7,000 shares were exercised, no stock options exercisedexpired, and options to purchase 2,000 shares were forfeited during the threenine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and nine monthoptions to purchase 2,000 shares were exercised and 1,000 shares were forfeited during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. During each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2021, we recognized $163,000 and no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, respectively. As of September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2017,2022, there was $9,000$115,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. 

The fair value of stock options granted under stock-based compensation programs has been estimated as of the date of each grant using the multiple option form of the Black-Scholes valuation model, based on the grant price and assumptions regarding the expected life, stock price volatility, dividends, and risk-free interest rates. Each vesting period of an option is valued separately, with this value being recognized over the vesting period.  The weighted average per share grant date fair value of options to purchase 120,000 shares granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.32. The weighted average assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock options granted during 2022 is as follows:

The risk-free interest rate used is 0.61based on the yield of constant maturity U.S. Treasury bonds on the grant date with a year.remaining term equal to the expected life of the grant.  We estimate stock volatility based on a historical daily price observation.  The dividend yield assumption is based on the annualized current dividend divided by the share price on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2014 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. We issue restricted stock awards to executive officers and key consultants. These awards may contain certain performance conditions or time-based vesting criteria. Executive officers vest in theThe restricted stock awards granted to executive officers vest if the various performance or time-based metrics are met. Stock-based compensation is recognized for the number of awards expected to vest at the end of the period and is expensed beginning on the grant date through the end of the vesting period. At the time of vesting of the restricted stock awards, the recipients of common stock may request to receive a net of the number of shares required for employee withholding taxes, which can be withheld up to the relevant jurisdiction's maximum statutory rate. StockCompensation expense related to any stock awards issued to consultants are recognized overemployees is determined on the performance periodgrant date based on the publicly-quoted fair market value of our common stock priceand is charged to earnings on the date when the consultant's performance is complete.  grant date.

Note I:J: Income per Common Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, shares subject to certain outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options or the vesting of those restricted stock awards would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding. As a result, stock options and restricted stock awards to acquire 100,1962,000 and 206,4672,000 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively, and 132,2472,000 and 239,3992,000 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Note J:K: Segment Information

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and management regularly review financial information for the Company's discrete operating segments. Based on similarities in the economic characteristics, nature of products and services, production processes, type or class of customer served, method of distribution and regulatory environments, the operating segments have been aggregated for financial statement purposes and categorized into two reportable segments:  Intersection and Highway.

Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. RTMS is our radar product line, and revenue consists of international and North American product sales. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment. All segment revenues are derived from external customers.   

Operating expenses and total assets are not allocated to the segments for internal reporting purposes. Due to the changes in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.    

The following tables set forth selected unaudited financial information for each of our reportable segments (in thousands):

Note K:L: Restructuring and Exit Activities


In the third quarter of 2016, in order to streamline our operating and cost structure, we initiated the closure of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Image Sensing Systems HK Limited (ISS HK) in Hong Kong and Image Sensing Systems (Shenzhen) Limited (ISS WOFE) in China. During 2020, we initiated the closure of Image Sensing Systems EMEA Limited (ISS UK) and Image Sensing Systems Holdings Limited (ISS Holdings). At September 30, 2021, Image Sensing Systems (Shenzhen) Limited was fully closed. We incurred $10,000 and $23,000 for these entities' closure costs in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.  


In the second quarter of 2021, the Company began the process of forming a subsidiary in Chennai, India. Autoscope Technologies India Private Limited ("Autoscope India") was legally formed on October 14, 2021. Autoscope India's operations will solely focus on research and development.  


Note M: Long-term Debt

Paycheck Protection Program Loan


Under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), the United States Small Business Administration ("SBA") approved the Company's application to receive a loan in the amount of $923,700 (the "PPP Loan").  The PPP was established under the congressionally approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and is administered by the SBA.  The PPP Loan to the Company was made through BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the "Lender"). On April 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the PPP Loan, and the Company signed the promissory note (the "PPP Note") evidencing the PPP Loan, which was dated as of April 17, 2020.  The Lender distributed the $923,700 of proceeds of the PPP Loan to the Company on April 22, 2020.

The term of the PPP Loan was 24 months after the date of the PPP Note (the "Maturity Date").  The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan was 1.00%.  No payments of principal or interest were due during the nine months beginning on the date of the PPP Note (the "Deferred Period").  The Company's obligations under the PPP Note were not secured by a security interest in the Company's assets.  The PPP Note required the Lender's consent if the Company wanted to reorganize, merge, consolidate, or otherwise change its ownership or structure.  The PPP Note contained customary events of default by the Company relating to, among other things, payment defaults and the breach of representations and warranties or other provisions of the PPP Note.  Upon a default by the Company under the PPP Note, the Lender could have accelerated the Company's obligations under the PPP Note and pursued its rights against the Company under applicable law, including by filing suit and obtaining a judgment against the Company.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans made under the PPP after 24 weeks if the recipients use the PPP loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. On February 2, 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender that the Lender had received payment in full of the PPP Loan from the United States government, and the Company's PPP Loan had been forgiven.  The Company recognized the amount of the PPP Loan principal and accrued interest forgiven totaling approximately $931,000 as other non-operating income in the first quarter of 2016,2021.


Real Property Bank Loan


On December 10, 2021, ISNS entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Coulee Bank (the "Bank") and issued a promissory note to the Bank (the "Note") in the original principal amount of $1,742,500 (the "Loan") to finance the purchase of the Company's Minnesota headquarters located at 1115 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Real Property").

The Note has a term of five years and bears interest at the fixed annual rate of 3.95% unless ISNS defaults under the terms of the Note, in which case a higher interest rate will go into effect calculated as provided in the Note.  The Note is payable in 59 consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest of $10,566, with the first payment due on January 10, 2022 and one final payment consisting of the balance of the entire remaining principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest, estimated at $1,438,256, due and payable on December 10, 2026.  There is no prepayment penalty unless ISNS finances the Loan with another lender, in which case ISNS would be obligated to pay a prepayment penalty to the Bank equal to 1% of the unpaid principal.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, all indebtedness of ISNS to the Bank immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to ISNS, except that in the case of an event of default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection of the Loan Agreement, such acceleration will be automatic and not optional.  In addition, upon a default, the Bank will have all the rights and remedies provided in the or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

20



Under the Mortgage granted by ISNS to the Bank (the "Mortgage") dated as of December 10, 2021, ISNS mortgaged and conveyed to the Bank, with power of sale, all of ISNS's right, title, and interest in and to the Real Property, together with all existing or subsequently erected or affixed buildings and all improvements and fixtures; and all easements, rights of way, and appurtenances.  The events of default under the Mortgage are similar to those under the Loan Agreement and the Note and are in addition to those under the Loan Agreement and the Note.

As provided in the Assignment of Rents between ISNS and the Bank (the "Assignment") dated as of December 10, 2021, ISNS granted to the Bank a continuing security interest in, and conveyed to the Bank, all of ISNS's right, title, and interest in and to the rents from the Real Property.  The Assignment provides that unless and until the Bank exercises its right to collect the rents as provided in the Assignment and so long as there is no default under the Assignment, ISNS may remain in possession and control of and operate and manage the Real Property and collect the rents.  The events of default under the Assignment are similar to those under the Loan Agreement, the Note, and the Mortgage and are in addition to those under the Loan Agreement, the Note, and the Mortgage.  Other than the lease for the billboards on the Real Property, which TJ&Z assigned to ISNS, there are currently no tenants in the Real Property and no leases or other similar agreements with prospective tenants contemplated. 

In connection with the Loan, the Company implemented restructuring plans in Canada. Becauseincurred and capitalized approximately $13,000 of these actions, restructuring chargesdebt issuance costs which will be amortized as additional interest expense over the life of approximately $126,000 were recorded in the first nine monthsLoan and are presented as a reduction to the long-term debt balance.

Note L:N: Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with GAAP, we record a liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable thatthat a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to any currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

Note O: Risks and Uncertainties

In December 2019, the outbreak of a then novel strain of coronavirus, called COVID-19, originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread worldwide, including to the U.S. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to the U.S. and global economy and has contributed to significant volatility, negative pressure in financial markets, and disruptions in supply chains. The global impact of the outbreak is continually evolving and, as additional cases and variants of the virus are identified, many countries, including the U.S., have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, and mandatory closures of businesses. Certain states and cities, including where we or the third parties with whom we engage operate, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and restrictions on the types of construction projects that may be undertaken.  

Although the COVID-19 restrictions imposed have been eased in many cases, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our exclusive North American manufacturerbusiness, financial condition and distributor, served a complaintresults of operations will depend on us for a lawsuit filed by Econolitefuture developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic; the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the adoption, effectiveness, and availability of COVID-19 vaccines; the effect of any relaxation of current restrictions in the Superior Courtcommunity and regions in which we, our customers and end users do business; the direct and indirect economic effects of the Statepandemic and containment measures; and the emergence and severity of California for the Countyadditional COVID-19 variants. The rapid development and fluidity of Orange. The complaint asserted claims against us under the Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology License Agreement,this situation precludes any prediction as amended, with Econolite (the "Econolite Agreement") for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought specific performance related to the transitionfull adverse impact of North American RTMS salesthe COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected, and marketing activities from Econolitemay continue to usadversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and it has had, and probably will continue to have, the effect of exacerbating many of the risks described in July 2014. In the complaint, Econolite requested damages from us in an amount to be proven at trial and sought certain other remedies. On May 27, 2016, we removed the casethis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including, but not limited to, the Federal District Court, District of Central California. On November 15, 2016, Econolite and the Company entered into an Arbitration Agreement. On November 16, 2016, Econolite voluntarily dismissed all of its claims against the Company in the U.S. District Court but filed a demand for arbitration with JAMS (which is an alternative dispute resolution provider), asserting the same claims against the Company that it had asserted in the lawsuit. Arbitration commenced on November 16, 2016, and it remains ongoing. We believe that Econolite's claims are without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend against them. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time or whether it will have a material adverse impact on our business prospects, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.following:


We currently rely on third parties to, among other things, manufacture, supply and market our products and supply other goods and services to run our business. If any such third party is adversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including staffing shortages, production slowdowns, the closure of facilities, and disruptions in delivery systems, our supply chain may be disrupted, which could limit our ability to manufacture our products and conduct research and development.


We have established a hybrid work-from-home policy for all employees, other than those who are performing or supporting business-critical operations or other essential activities. Our increased reliance on personnel working from home has not negatively impacted productivity or disrupted, delayed or otherwise adversely impacted our business. 


The trading prices for our common stock have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we may face difficulties raising capital through any sales of our common stock, or such sales may be on unfavorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic or other developments and events could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.

Overview

OverviewReorganization. On July 21, 2021, a holding company reorganization was completed (the “Reorganization”) in which Image Sensing Systems, Inc. ("ISNS") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new parent company named “Autoscope Technologies Corporation” ("Autoscope"), which became the successor issuer to ISNS.  As a result of the Reorganization, Autoscope replaced ISNS as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “AATC,” and outstanding shares of ISNS’s common stock automatically converted into shares of common stock of Autoscope.As used in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" or its management or business at any time before the effective date of the Reorganization refer to those of ISNS as the predecessor company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and thereafter to Autoscope and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as otherwise specified or to the extent the context otherwise indicates.  The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company’s shareholders.Autoscope was incorporated on April 23, 2021 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and ISNS was incorporated in Minnesota on December 20, 1984. 

GeneralWe are a leading provider of above-ground detection products and solutions for the intelligent transportation systems ("ITS"(“ITS”) industry. Our family of products, which we market as Autoscope®Autoscope® video or video products (“Autoscope”), and RTMS®RTMS® radar or radar products ("RTMS"(“RTMS”), and IntellitraffiQ® or iQ products, provides end users with the tools needed to optimize traffic flow and enhance driver safety. Our technology analyzes signals from sophisticated sensors and transmits the information to management systems and controllers or directly to users. Our products provide end users with complete solutions for the intersection and transportation markets.

Our technology is a process in which software, rather than humans, examines outputs from various types of sophisticated sensors to determine what is happening in a field of view. In the ITS industry, this process is a critical component of managing congestion and traffic flow. In many cities, it is not possible to build roads, bridges and highways quickly enough to accommodate the increasing congestion levels. OnDuring 2020, congestion levels decreased significantly as a result of COVID-19 related government lockdowns, although automobile travel has rebounded in many areas, causing congestion levels to begin returning to previous levels (per INRIX 2020 Global Traffic scorecard).  In 2021, on average, United States commuters spend 42lost 36 hours a year stuck in traffic, and congestion, costs motorists $160 billion a year.which cost an average of $564 per driver in wasted time (per INRIX 2021 Global Traffic scorecard).  We believe this growing use of vehicles will make our ITS solutions increasingly necessary to complement existing and new roadway infrastructure to manage traffic flow and optimize throughput.

We believe our solutions are technically superior to those of our competitors because they have a higher level of accuracy, limit the occurrence of false detection, are generally easier to install with lower costs of ownership, work effectively in a multitude of light and weather conditions, and provide end users the ability to manage inputs from a variety of sensors for a number of tasks. It is our view that the technical advantages of our products make our solutions well suited for use in ITS markets.

We believe the strength of our distribution channels positions us to increase the penetration of our technology‑driven solutions in the marketplace. We market our Autoscope video products in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through an exclusive agreementagreements with Econolite Control Products, Inc. ("Econolite"(“Econolite”), which we believe is the leading distributor of ITS intersection control products in these markets.

We market the RTMS radar systems to a network of distributors in North America, the Caribbean and Latin America.globally.  On a limited basis, we may sell directly to the end user in these geographic areas.user.  We market our Autoscope video and RTMS radar products outside of the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through a combination of distribution and direct sales channels through our officesoffice in Spain and Romania.Spain. Our end users primarily include governmental agencies and municipalities.

The following discussion of period-to-period changes and trends in financial statement results under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" aligns with the financial statement presentation discussed above.

Trends and Challenges in Our Business

We believe the expected growth in our business can be attributed primarily to the following global trends:

  • worsening traffic caused by increased numbers of vehicles in metropolitan areas without corresponding expansions of road infrastructure and the need to automate safety, security and access applications for automobiles and trucks, which has increased demand for our products;
  • advances in information technology, which have made our products easier to market, implement and implement;integrate;
  • the continued funding allocations for centralized traffic management services and automated enforcement schemes, which have increased the ability of our primary end users to implement our products; and 
  • general increases in the cost effectiveness of electronics, which make our products more affordable for end users.

We believe our continued growth primarily depends upon:

  • continued adoption and governmental funding of ITS and other automated applications for traffic control, safety and enforcement in developed countries;
  • a propensity by traffic engineers to implement lower cost technology-based solutions rather than civil engineering solutions such as widening roadways;
  • countries in the developing world adopting above-ground detection technology, such as video or radar, instead of in-pavement loop technology to manage traffic; and 
15


  • our ability to develop new products that provide increasingly accurate information and enhance the end users' ability to cost-effectively manage traffic and environmental issues.
24


Because the majority of our end users are governmental entities, we are faced with challenges related to potential delays in purchasepurchasing decisions by those entities and changes in budgetary constraints. These contingencies could result in significant fluctuations in our revenue betweenamong periods. The ongoing economic environment in Europe and the United States, isthe COVID-19 pandemic declared in March 2020 and the outbreak of new COVID-19 variants are further adding to the unpredictability of purchasepurchasing decisions, creating more delays than usual and decreasing governmental budgets, and it isthey are likely to continue to affect our revenue.

Key Financial Terms and Metrics

Revenue. We derive revenue from two sources: (1) royalties received from Econolite for sales of the Autoscope video systems in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean and (2) revenue received from the direct sales of our RTMS radar systems worldwide and our Autoscope video systems in Europe and Asia. Autoscope video royalties are calculated using a profit sharing model wherein which the gross profits on sales of product made through Econolite are shared equally with Econolite. This royalty arrangement has the benefit of decreasing our cost of revenues and our selling, marketing and product support expenses because these costs and expenses are borne primarily by Econolite. Although this royalty model has a positive impact on our gross margin, it also negatively impacts our total revenue, which would be higher if all the sales made by Econolite were made directly by us. The royalty arrangement is exclusive under athe long-term agreement.Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology Agreement dated as of June 11, 1991, as amended (the “Econolite Agreement”), between the Company and Econolite.

Cost of Revenue. Software amortization is the sole cost of revenue related to royalties, as virtually all manufacturing, warranty and related costs are incurred by Econolite. Cost of revenue related to product sales consists primarily of the amount charged by our third party contractors to manufacture hardware platforms, which isproducts, whose costs are influenced mainly by the cost of electronic components. The cost of revenue also includes logistics costs, estimated expenses for product warranties, restructuring costs and inventory reserves.obsolescence. The key metric that we follow is achieving certain gross margin percentages on product sales by geographic region and to a lesser extent by product line.

operating segment.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses fall into three categories: (1) selling, marketing and product support; (2) general and administrative; and (3) research and development. Selling, marketing and product support expenses consist of various costs related to sales and support of our products, including salaries, benefits and commissions paid to our personnel; commissions paid to third parties; travel, trade show and advertising costs; second-tier technical support for Econolite; and general product support, where applicable. General and administrative expenses consist of certain corporate and administrative functions that support the development and sales of our products and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. These expenses include management, supervisory and staff salaries and benefits; legal and auditing fees; travel; rent; and costs associated with being a public company, such as board of director fees, listing fees and annual reporting expenses. Research and development expenses consist mainly of salaries and benefits for our engineers and third party costs for consulting and prototyping. We measure all operating expenses against our annually approved budget, which is developed with achieving a certain operating margin as a key focus. Also includedWe also include any restructuring costs in operating expenses are any restructuring costs.expenses.

Non-GAAP Operating Measure. Measures. We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). This non-GAAP information excludes the impact of depreciating fixed assets and amortizing intangible assets, and depreciation, andit may exclude other non-recurring items. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Seasonality. Our quarterly revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past due to the seasonality of our business. Our first quarter generally is the weakest due to weather conditions that make roadway construction more difficult in parts of North America, Europe and northern Asia. We expect such seasonality to continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, our international revenues regularly contain individually significant sales. This can result in significant variations of revenue between periods. Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our financial results should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. No assurance can be given that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

SegmentsWe currently operate in two reportable segments: Intersection and Highway. Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. The RTMS isand IntellitraffiQ are our radar product line,lines, and revenue consists of sales to external customers. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment.segment.As a result of business model changes and modifications in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.

Total revenue increasedfor Autoscope Technologies Corporation ("AATC," the "Company," "us," "we," or "our"), which includes the results of Image Sensing Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AATC ("ISS"), decreased to $3.6$3.2 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017,2022 from $3.4$3.3 million in the same period in 2016, an increase2021, a decrease of 7.2%3.6%, and decreased to $10.2$8.7 million in the first nine months of 20172022 from $11.3 million in the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of 9.9%. Royalty income increased to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 17.4%, and decreased to $6.0 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of 1.9%.

Product sales decreased to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of 10.3%, and decreased to $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $5.2$10.0 million in the same period in 2016, 2021, a decrease of 19.2%13.1%.

Royalty revenue increased to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 5.7%, and decreased to $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 14.1%. The increase in third quarter royalty revenue is primarily due to higher Autoscope Vision product sales resulting in higher royalties, partially offset by higher component costs purchased during the second quarter of 2022. The Company purchased certain components to avoid manufacturing disruptions. The decrease in royalty revenue in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 is primarily due to component supply chain issues.

Product sales decreased to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 31.9%, and decreased to $2.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 11.0%. The decrease in third quarter and year-to-date 2022 product sales wascompared to product sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 is primarily driven by a slower recoverythe result of the European marketlabor shortages causing installation delays and of funding of transportation initiatives.impacting project timing.

Revenue for the Intersection segment increased to $2.9 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from $2.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 16.3%.  The increase can be primarily attributed to a significant royalty sale into Miami-Dade County infor the third quarter 2017.of 2022 remained flat at $2.7 million compared to the same period in 2021. Revenue for the Intersection segment decreased to $7.0$6.1 million in the first nine months of 20172022 from $7.1$7.2 million in the first nine months of 2016, 2021, a decrease of1.2% 15.4%.

Revenue for the Highway segment decreased to $772,000$0.5 million in the three-month periodthird quarter of 2022 from $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 16.8%. Revenue for the Highway segment decreased to $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2022 from $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 7.2%.

Gross margin percent for royalty sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2022 increased to 96.0% from $930,00095.7% in the three-monthsame period in 2021. Gross profit from royalties increased by $0.1 million, or 5.8%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of 17.0%.2022 compared to the prior year period. Gross margin percent for royalty sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to 94.6% from 95.6% in the same period in 2021. The decrease in royalty gross margin percent is primarily attributable to the sourcing of higher cost components in the first quarter of 2022 to avoid manufacturing disruptions during the third quarter of 2022.

Gross margin percent for product sales decreased to 17.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 40.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The dollar amount of product sales gross profit decreased $0.2 million, or 71.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. Gross margin percent for product sales decreased to 42.2% in the first nine months of 2022 from 44.3% in the first nine months of 2021. The decrease in product gross margin percent was primarily the result of an increase in electronic component costs during 2022 attributable to supply chain shortages.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.2 million, or 38.7% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.3 million, or 40.8% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat at $4.2 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, which was 48.5% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 42.0% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 2021. The decrease in third quarter 2022 selling general and administrative expense compared to the third quarter of 2021 is primarily due to lower salaries and benefits attributable to lower headcount and lower rent expense.The increase in selling, general and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the increased stock-based compensation expense and increased costs associated with resumed travel, which is partially offset by lower salaries and benefits attributable to lower headcount in the first nine months of 2022. 

Research and development expense remained flat at $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, or 18.4% of total revenue, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, is primarily attributable2022, and 19.7% of total revenue, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2021. Research and development expense decreased to lower volume sales into North America$1.5 million, or 17.6% of total revenue, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 from $1.7 million, or 16.7% of total revenue, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in third quarter 2022 research and development expenses compared to the prior year period.  Revenuethird quarter of 2021 is primarily due to higher capitalized software development costs.

The year-over-year decrease in research and development expense for the Highway segment decreasedfirst nine months of 2022 compared to $3.2 millionthe same period in 2021 is primarily due to higher capitalized software development costs in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 of $0.5 million compared to capitalized software costs of $0.2 million for the same period in 2021.

The Company recognized other income of $0.9 million from the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loan and accrued interest during the first nine months of 2017 from $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of 24.3%The decrease in revenue in the Highway segment2021. There were no comparable items in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the prior year period is due to an individually significant radar project into the Middle East that2022.

There was recognized$0.2 million and less than $0.1 million of income tax expense recorded in the prior year period with no comparable sale in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2017,  and lower volume sales into North America compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit for product sales increased to 54.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from 34.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Product sales gross profit increased $173,000 or 39.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period.  Gross profit for product sales increased to 57.9% in the first nine months2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.5 million of 2017 from 48.0% in the first nine months of 2016.  Product sales gross profit decreased $63,000 or 2.5%income tax expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross margin percent2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Consolidated net income was $0.6 million, or $0.12 per basic share and diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to a reduction in warranty reserve related to the expired warranty coverage for a discontinued legacy product. Additionally, the geographic sales mix of our product sales can influence margins, as product sold in some jurisdictions have higher margins. We anticipate that gross profit for our product sales will be similar in 2017 as compared to 2016.

Gross profit for royalty sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017, decreased to 96.4% from 100.0% in the samethree-month period in 2016. Gross profit from royalties increased $281,000 or 13.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period.  Gross profit from royalty sales decreased to 95.5% in the first nine months 2017 from 100.0% in the first nine months 2016. Gross profit from royalties decreased $389,000 or 6.4% compared to the prior year period.  The decrease in royalty gross margin percent is due to the amortization of software capitalization costs related to the Autoscope Vision product released for sale in October 2016. We expect that royalty gross profit percentage will decrease in 2017 compared to 2016 due to this amortization.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.4 million or 39.5% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.4 million or 42.5% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2016, and it decreased to $4.5 million or 44.4% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2017 from $5.0 million or 44.6% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2016. The reduction in expense is the result of cost saving measures enacted in 2016.Overall, we anticipate that in 2017 as compared to 2016, selling, general and administrative expense will decrease in dollar amount.

Research and development expense increased to $722,000 or 19.9% of total revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, from $636,000 or 18.8% of total revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, and it increased to $2.3 million or 22.3% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2017 from $2.0 million or 18.0% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2016. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to lower software capitalization in 2017 compared to the prior year period.  We capitalized $305,000 and $871,000 of costs associated with software development projects in the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017,2022 compared to capitalized softwarenet income of $507,000$0.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and $1.6 milliondiluted share, in the comparable prior year periods.We anticipate that researchperiod. Consolidated net income was $0.7 million, or $0.14 per basic and development costs will increase in dollar amount in 2017 compared to 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company implemented restructuring plans in Canada. Because of these actions, restructuring charges of approximately $126,000 were recorded related to employee terminationsdiluted share, in the first nine months of 2016. There were no restructuring charges recorded in the nine monthsnine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Consolidated net income from operations was $870,000 and $1.4 million in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2022 compared to a net income of $469,000$2.5 million, or $0.47 per basic and $1.4 milliondiluted share, in the comparable prior year periods. Consolidated net income per basic and diluted share was $0.17 and $0.27 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a net income of $0.09 and $0.27 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2017,2022, we had $2.8$3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $1.5$8.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016.2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2$0.3 million in the first nine months of 20172022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $427,000$1.5 million in the same period in 2016.2021.  The primary reason for the increasedecrease in net cash provided by operating activities was a result of a decrease in net income and operating assets and liabilities. To avoid any unforeseen supply chain delays, the Company purchased an increased amount of inventory components in the first nine months of 20172022 compared to the prior year. Additionally, the Company agreed to advance funds to fill component gaps in Econolite's production of our Autoscope Vision cameras to avoid any future production delays.  


Net cash used for investing activities was $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $0.2 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in the amount of net cash used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the timingpurchase of $4.3 million of debt and equity securities and higher capitalized internal software development costs compared to the paymentprior year period offset by sales of outstanding payablesdebt and accruals. We anticipate that average receivable collection days in 2017 will be similar to 2016 and that they will not have a material impact on our liquidity.equity securities of $1.9 million.


Net cash used for continuing investingfinancing activities was $981,000 for$2.0 million in the first nine months of 20172022 compared to net cash used for continuing investingfinancing activities of $1.71.3 million in the same period in 2016.2021. The decreaseincrease of the amount of net cash used for continuing investingfinancing activities was due to quarterly cash dividends of $0.12 per share paid to shareholders in each of the first three quarters of 2022, whereas we paid no dividends in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 compared to the prior year period is the result of capitalized internal software development costs decreasing compared to the prior year period.At September 30, 2017, approximately $38,000 of capitalized software costs were in accounts payable.Our planned additions of property and equipment are discretionary, and we do not expect them to exceed historical levels in 2016.2021.

In May 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank which provided for a revolving line of credit for the Company. The credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank (collectively, the "Alliance Credit Agreement") provided up to a $5.0 million revolving line of credit bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.95%. Any advances would have been secured by the Company's inventories, accounts receivable, cash, marketable securities, and equipment. We were subject to certain covenants under the Alliance Credit Agreement. In April 2016, we entered into an agreement with Alliance Bank amending the Alliance Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from April 1, 2016 to May 12, 2017. We chose not to renew the Alliance Credit Agreement.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2017,2022 and cash provided by operating activities will satisfy our projected working capital needs, investing activities, and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future.at least one year from September 30, 2022.

Approximately 20% of our revenue has historically been derived from shipments to customers outside the United States, and a large portion of this revenue is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Our international subsidiaries have functional currencies other than our U.S. dollar reporting currency and, occasionally, transact business in currencies other than their functional currencies.  These non-functional currency transactions expose us to market risk on assets, liabilities and cash flows recognized on these transactions.

OurThe strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign sales and results of operations are subject tocurrencies decreases the impactvalue of foreign currency fluctuations. From time to time, we entercurrency-denominated revenue and earnings when translated into currency hedges to attempt to lower our exposure to translation gains and losses as well as to limitU.S. dollars.  Conversely, a weakening of the impactU.S. dollar increases the value of foreign currency translation upon the consolidation of our foreign subsidiaries.currency-denominated revenue and earnings.  A 10%10% adverse change in foreign currency rates if we have not properly hedged, could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

On May 5, 2016, Econolite, our exclusive North American manufacturer and distributor, served a complaint on us for a lawsuit filed by Econolite in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange. The complaint asserted claims against us under the Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology License Agreement, as amended, with Econolite (the "Econolite Agreement") for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought specific performance related to the transition of North American RTMS sales and marketing activities from Econolite to us in July 2014. In the complaint, Econolite requested damages from us in an amount to be proven at trial and sought certain other remedies. On May 27, 2016, we removed the case to the Federal District Court, District of Central California. On November 15, 2016, Econolite and the Company entered into an Arbitration Agreement. On November 16, 2016, Econolite voluntarily dismissed all of its claims against the Company in the U.S. District Court but filed a demand for arbitration with JAMS (which is an alternative dispute resolution provider), asserting the same claims against the Company that it had asserted in the lawsuit. Arbitration commenced on November 16, 2016, and it remains ongoing. We believe that Econolite's claims are without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend against them. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time or whether it will have a material adverse impact on our business prospects, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.
