NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCHDECEMBER 31, 2018

 

NOTE 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business:

 

Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or “Napco”) is a diversified manufacturer of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-lockingdoor security products, intrusion and fire alarm systems, alarm communication services, and video surveillance products for commercial and residential use. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment.

 

The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Historically, the end users of Napco's products want to install its products prior to the summer; therefore sales of its products historically peak in the period April 1 through June 30, the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, and are reduced in the period July 1 through September 30, the Company's fiscal first quarter. In addition, demand is affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend.

 

Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, including these notes, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 20172018 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 13, 2017.2018. Results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s operating results. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of the CompanyNapco Security Technologies, Inc. and all of its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accountsbalances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period balanceseliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Amounts previously recorded in cost of sales totaling $1,639,000 and 3,246,000 for the three and six months ending December 31, 2017, respectively, have been reclassified to research and development from cost of sales to conform with the current period presentation.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical estimates include management's judgments associated with reserves for sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts,concentration of credit risk, inventory reserves, intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash short-termand cash equivalents, certificates of deposit,deposits, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of MarchDecember 31, 2018 due to their short-term maturities; Long-Term Debt - The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt at March 31, 2018 in the amount of $2,000,000 and at June 30, 2017 in the amount of $3,500,000 approximates fair value.maturities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $460,000 of short-term certificates of deposittime deposits at MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.2018. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC and other international agencies as of MarchDecember 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.2018. The Company has historically not experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limitslimits.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $180,000$182,000 and $195,000 as of MarchDecember 31, 2018 and $155,000 as of June 30, 2017 and for returns and other allowances of $1,115,000 as of March 31, 2018, and $1,250,000 as of June 30, 2017.respectively. Our reserves for doubtful accounts and for returns and other allowances are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, (”NRV”), with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The reported net value of inventory includes finished saleable products, work-in-process and raw materials that will be sold or used in future periods. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and overhead. The Company’s overhead expenses are applied based, in part, upon estimates of the proportion of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials as compared to the manufacture and assembly of finished products. These proportions, the method of their application, and the resulting overhead included in ending inventory, are based in part on subjective estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated market value, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product to better match customer demand. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage.

 

The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major renewals and improvements are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets using primarily the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term, whichever is shorter.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized.amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Indefinite-livedInfinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually at the Company’s fiscal year end of June 30 or more often whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recovered.

 

The Company’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of G. Marks Hardware, Inc. (“Marks”) in August 2008 included intangible assets recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The intangible assetscustomer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives of twenty years (customer relationships).years. The Marks trade name was deemed to have an indefinite life.

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets in question may not be recoverable. Impairment would be recorded in circumstances where undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than the carrying value of that asset.

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped or delivered to the customer pursuant to the terms of the sale. Revenues for services are recorded at the time the service is provided to the customer pursuant to the terms of sale. The Company reports its sales on a net sales basis, with net sales being computed by deducting from gross sales the amount of actual sales returns and other allowances and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns and other allowances.

Sales Returns and Other Allowances

The Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers.adopted effective July 1, 2018. Accordingly, the Company believesrecognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of its products or services, in an amount that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basisreflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for its allowancethose goods and services.

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The enactment of H. R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 reduced the U. S. Corporate income tax rate to 21% and had a favorable impact on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities for theof a change in tax raterates is recognized in income in the six and nine month periods ending December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company measures and recognizes the tax implications of positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns on an ongoing basis.

 

Net Income Per Share

 

Basic net income per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding.

The Company has established twothree share incentive programs as discussed in Note 7.8.

 

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires assumptions and judgments about expected volatility and forfeiture rates, among other factors.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In March 2016,May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)(FASB) issued authoritative guidance that changes the way companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The most significant impact relates toAccounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amended the accounting standards for income tax effects of share-based compensation awards.revenue recognition. This new guidance is part of the FASB’s simplification initiativestandard superseded all prior revenue recognition standards and requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recorded as income tax expense or benefit inreflects the income statement. In addition, companies are requiredconsideration to treatwhich the tax effects of exercised or vested awards as discrete items in the period that they occur.  Other updates include changing the threshold on tax withholding requirements.  Under this guidance, an employer can withhold up to the maximum statutory withholding rates in a jurisdiction without tainting the award classification.  Additionally, this guidance allows companies to elect a forfeiture recognition method whereby they account for forfeitures as they occur (actual) or they estimate the number of awards expectedentity expects to be forfeited (current GAAP).  Lastly, as it relatesentitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures to public entities,enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company adopted this guidance also provides requirementsASU effective July 1, 2018. See Note 2, Revenue Recognition for the cash flow classification of cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposesadditional accounting policy and excess tax benefits.  This guidance became effective for the Company’s fiscal 2018 first quarter and the guidance prescribes different transition methods for the various provisions (i.e., retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective).  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires lessees to account for most leases on their balance sheets with the liability being equal to the present value of the lease payments.  The right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability adjusted for certain costs such as direct costs.  Lease expense will be recognized similar to current accounting guidance with operating leases resulting in a straight-line expense and financing leases resulting in a front-loaded expense similar to the current accounting for capital leases.  This guidance becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal 2020 first quarter, with early adoption permitted.  This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, and provides for certain practical expedients.  The Company is currently evaluating the timing, impact and method of applying this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). The amendments in ASU 2015-11 simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of costNOTE 2 – Revenue Recognition and net realizable value (“NRV”). ASU 2015-11 was effective for the Company’s quarter ended September 30, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.Contracts with Customers

 

In May 2014,Adoption

On July 1, 2018, the FASB issued authoritativeCompany adopted new guidance that defines how companies should report revenueson revenue from contracts with customers.  The standard requires an entitycustomers using the modified retrospective method applied to recognize revenue to depictcontracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expectsnew guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be entitledreported in exchangeaccordance with previous guidance.

The Company recorded a net decrease to opening retained earnings of approximately $720,000 (net of tax benefit of $191,000) as of July 1, 2018, for those goods or services.  It provides companies withthe cumulative impact of adopting the new guidance. The impact primarily related to the change in the recognition and measurement of certain types of variable consideration, which resulted in the increase in sales allowance reserves (i.e. refund liabilities) by a single comprehensive five-step principles-based modelnet of $1,627,000 and increased other assets (i.e. return related assets) by approximately $716,000.

Also, due to use in accounting for revenue and supersedes current revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific and transaction-specific revenue guidance.  In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective dateadoption of the new revenue standard, by one year.  Asthe Company classified certain reserves in respect of refund liabilities that were previously presented as a result, the new standard would not be effectivereduction from receivables, to current liabilities amounting to approximately $2,964,000 as of December 31, 2018. Further, amounts related to promotion payments to customers are now classified as a reduction of sales.

The impact of applying this ASU for the Company until fiscal 2019.  In addition, the FASB is allowing companies to early adopt this guidance for the Company’sthree and six months ended December 31, 2018 fiscal year.  The guidance permitsresulted in an entity to apply the standard retrospectively to all prior periods presented, with certain practical expedients, or apply the requirementsimmaterial change in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment.  The Company will apply this new guidance when it becomes effective and has not yet selected a transition method.  product sales.

Net Sales

The Company is currently evaluatingengaged in one major line of business: the impactdevelopment, manufacture, and distribution of adoptionsecurity products, encompassing access control systems, door security products, intrusion and fire alarm systems, alarm communication services, and video surveillance products for commercial and residential use. The Company also provides wireless communication service for intrusion and fire alarm systems on its consolidated financial statements.a monthly basis. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. Sales to unaffiliated customers are primarily shipped from the United States. The Company has customers worldwide with major concentrations in North America.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

For product sales the Company typically transfers control at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the product. For monthly communication services the Company satisfies its performance obligation as the services are rendered and therefore recognizes revenue over the monthly period.

Typically timing of revenue recognition coincides with the timing of invoicing to the customers, at which time the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. As such, the Company typically records a receivable when revenue is recognized.

The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. Payment for product sales is typically due within 30 and 180 days of the delivery date. Payment for monthly communication services is billed on a monthly basis and is typically due at the beginning of the month of service.

The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months. The Company accepts returns for such defective products as well as for other limited circumstances. The Company also provides rebates to customers for meeting specified purchasing targets and other coupons or credits in limited circumstances. The Company establishes reserves for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and measures such variable consideration based on the expected value method using an analysis of historical data. Changes to the estimated variable consideration in subsequent periods are not material.

The Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 5% and 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 7% and 8% for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in the accounting policy footnote, the Company’s business consists of one operating segment. Following is the disaggregation of revenues based on major product lines (in thousands):

NOTE 23 - Business and Credit Concentrations

 

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. Such risks of loss manifest themselves differently, depending on the nature of the concentration, and vary in significance. The Company had two customers, both of which are nationwide distributors of the Company’s products,one customer with an accounts receivable balancesbalance that comprised 29%21% and 22% of the Company’s accounts receivable at MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 24% and at June 30, 2017.2018, respectively.

NOTE 56 - Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), tax benefit of R&D credits and certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. ForIn addition, changes in judgment from the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018evaluation of new information resulting in the effectiverecognition, de-recognition or re-measurement of a tax rate was favorably impacted byposition taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the enactmentquarter of H.R. 1,the change.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”“Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017.. The Tax Act reducedis comprehensive tax legislation effective January 1, 2018 that implements complex changes to the U.S. Corporate incometax code including, but not limited to, the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and resulted in a $286,000 reduction inincludes provisions to tax GILTI. We are subject to the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities. As the Company has aGILTI provisions effective for fiscal year ended June 30, fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income2019. The Tax Act also imposed a one-time transition tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory rate of approximately 27.55% for fiscal 2018 and a 21% U.S. federal statutory rate for subsequent fiscal years. The Company reported $208,000 of provisional expense on its unremitted foreign earnings. Accounting Standard Codificationcodification (“ASC”) 740 requires filers to record the effects of tax law changes in the period enacted. However, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), that permits filers to record provisional amounts during a measurement period ending no later than one year from the date of the Act’s enactment. As of MarchDecember 31, 2018, the Company has not completedfinalized its accounting for the income tax effects of enactment of the Act; however,Tax Act and no additional expense was recorded since the final transition tax liability was equal to the $381,000 provisional expense reported in the fiscal year ended 6/30/2018.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company has maderecognized a reasonable estimatenet income tax expense of the effects on the existing deferred balances as well as the computation of the one-time transition tax. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition de-recognition or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the quarter of the change.

$667,000. During the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $29,000.$35,000. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of MarchDecember 31, 2018, the Company had accrued interest totaling $0 and $212,000$256,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. The Company uses the flow through method to account for investmentclaims research and development (“R&D”) tax credits earned on eligible research and development expenditures. Under this method, the investmentThe R&D tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

 

The Company does not expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. We file a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in certain state and local and foreign jurisdictions. As of MarchDecember 31, 2018 we remain subject to examination in all tax jurisdictions for all relevant jurisdictional statutes for fiscal years 20142015 and thereafter.

 

In November 2018, the Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) proposing an adjustment to income for the fiscal 2016 tax year regarding deemed dividends based on its interpretation under IRC Section 956 arising from the intercompany balances on the books of the Company. The incremental tax liability associated with the income adjustment proposed in the NOPA would be approximately $1.8 million, excluding any interest and penalties. The Company strongly believes that the position of the IRS with regard to this matter is inconsistent with the provisions of the IRC Section 956 and management believes that the Company will prevail, and that the tax originally paid in fiscal 2016 is correct, as such no additional reserve for this tax uncertainty has been recognized. However, there can be no assurance that this matter will ultimately be resolved in the Company's favor.

The Company has identified its U.S. Federal income tax return and its State return in New York as its major tax jurisdictions.

Overview

 

The Company is a diversified manufacturer of security products, encompassing access control systems, door security products, intrusion and fire alarm systems, alarm communication services, and video surveillance products for commercial and residential use. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. International sales accounted for approximately 2% and 3% of our revenues for each of the three and ninesix months ended March 31,December, 2018 and 2017, respectively.2017.

 

The Company owns and operates manufacturing facilities in Amityville, New York and the Dominican Republic. A significant portion of our operating costs are fixed, and do not fluctuate with changes in production levels or utilization of our manufacturing capacity. As production levels rise and factory utilization increases, the fixed costs are spread over increased output, which may contribute to increasing profit margins. Conversely, when production levels decline our fixed costs are spread over reduced levels, which may contribute to decreasing margins.

 

20

The security products market is characterized by constant incremental innovation in product design and manufacturing technologies. Generally, the Company typically devotes 6-8% of revenues to research and development (“R&D”) on an annual basis. The Company does not expect products resulting from our R&D investments in fiscal 20182019 to contribute materially to revenue during fiscal 2018,2019, but may benefit the Company over future years. In general, the new products introduced by the Company are initially shipped in limited quantities, and increase over time. Prices and manufacturing costs tend to decline over time as products and technologies mature.

 

Economic and Other Factors

 

We are subject to the effects of general economic and market conditions. In the event that the U.S. or international economic conditions deteriorate, our revenue, profit and cash-flow levels could be materially adversely affected in future periods. In the event of such deterioration, many of our current or potential future customers may experience serious cash flow problems and as a result may, modify, delay or cancel purchases of our products. Additionally, customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. If such events do occur, they may result in our expenses being too high in relation to our revenues and cash flows.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Historically, the end users of the Company’s products want to install its products prior to the summer; therefore sales of its products historically peak in the period April 1 through June 30, the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, and are reduced in the period July 1 through September 30, the Company's fiscal first quarter. In addition, demand is affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company's significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Management believes the followingthese critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) there is a fixed and determinable price for the Company's product or service, (iii) shipment and passage of title occurs or service has been provided, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from product sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped or delivered to the customer pursuant to the terms of the sale. Revenues for services are recorded at the time the service is provided to the customer pursuant to the terms of sale. The Company reports its sales on a net sales basis, with net sales being computed by deducting from gross sales the amount of actual sales returns and other allowances and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns and other allowances.

The Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. Such risks of loss manifest themselves differently, depending on the nature of the concentration, and vary in significance. The Company had two customers, both of which are nationwide distributors of the Company’s products, with accounts receivable balances that comprised 29% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 and 24% and at June 30, 2017. Sales to one of these customers comprised 9% of net sales in both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. Sales to this customers comprised 13% of net sales in both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.

19

In the ordinary course of business, we have established a reserve for doubtful accounts and customer deductions in the amount of $180,000 as of March 31, 2018 and $155,000 as of June 30, 2017. Our reserve for doubtful accounts is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net earnings. This reserve is based upon the evaluation of accounts receivable agings, specific exposures and historical or anticipated events.

Sales Returns and Other Allowances

The Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 7% and 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 8% for each of the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or NRV, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The reported net value of inventory includes finished saleable products, work-in-process and raw materials that will be sold or used in future periods. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and overhead. The Company’s overhead expenses are applied based, in part, upon estimates of the proportion of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials as compared to the manufacture and assembly of finished products. These proportions, the method of their application, and the resulting overhead included in ending inventory, are based in part on subjective estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated NRV, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product to better match customer demand. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually at the Company’s fiscal year end of June 30 or more often whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recovered. Impairment testing is performed in two steps: (i) the Company determines if there is impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, and (ii) if there is impairment, the Company measures the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of intangible assets with the carrying amount of the intangible assets.

Income Taxes

The Company has identified the United States and New York State as its major tax jurisdictions. The fiscal 2014 and forward years are still open for examination.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized a net income tax expense of $118,000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the enactment of H.R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) on December 22, 2017. The Act reduced the U.S. Corporate income tax rate to 21% and resulted in a $286,000 reduction in the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory rate of approximately 27.55% for fiscal 2018 and a 21% U.S. federal statutory rate for subsequent fiscal years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities for the change in tax rate is recognized in income in the three and nine month period ending March 31, 2018 which includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

20

In addition, the Company reported $208,000 of provisional expense on its unremitted foreign earnings. Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740 requires filers to record the effects of tax law changes in the period enacted. However, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), that permits filers to record provisional amounts during a measurement period ending no later than one year from the date of the Act’s enactment. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has not completed accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on the existing deferred balances as well as the computation of the one-time transition tax.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018 the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $29,000. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had accrued interest totaling $0 and $212,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. The Company uses the flow through method to account for investment tax credits earned on eligible research and development expenditures. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

The Company measures and recognizes the tax implications of positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns on an ongoing basis.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's principal financial instrument is long-term debt (consisting of a revolving credit facility) that provides for interest based on the prime rate or LIBOR as described in the agreement. The Company is affected by market risk exposure primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on amounts payable by the Company under this credit facility. At March 31, 2018, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,000,000 was outstanding under the Company's credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.8%. If principal amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility remained at this level for an entire year and the interest rate increased or decreased, respectively, by 1% the Company would pay or save, respectively, an additional $20,000 in interest that year.

All foreign sales transactions by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company has shifted foreign currency exposure onto its foreign customers. As a result, if exchange rates move against foreign customers, the Company could experience difficulty collecting unsecured accounts receivable, the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk relative to expenses incurred in Dominican Pesos ("RD$"), the local currency of the Company's production facility in the Dominican Republic. The result of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar to the RD$ would result in an annual increase or decrease in income from operations of approximately $630,000.

 

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.

 

At the conclusion of the period ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The Company determined that it did not have effective disclosure controls and procedures as of MarchDecember 31, 2018. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017,2018, we did not have effective disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017.2018.

The documentationA lack of a keysupervision and review to ensure proper internal control over product shipments was not designed properly to evidence the operating effectiveness of the control, and a portion of the Company’s shipments were not subjected to this review control due to in-process consolidation of warehouse operations. 2. Controls around subscription-based service revenue were not assessed at the transaction level because they are largely automated, but subjected only to management-level reasonableness review. 3.
