The principal markets for the Company’s proprietary sound reproduction technologies and products are in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The accompanyingCompany’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesrules and regulations of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-QSecurities and applicable sections of Regulation S-X.Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and notefootnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to thosesuch rules and regulations, although, inregulations. In our opinion, the opinion of management, the interim financialaccompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and disclosures included therein arecash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate in orderdisclosure to make the financial statementsinformation presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 was derived from the Company’s most recent audited financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. The interim condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 20122013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC on December 4, 2012.November 21, 2013. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company has a currently inactive wholly owned subsidiary, American Technology Holdings, Inc.,LRAD International Corporation, which the Company formed to conduct international marketing, sales and distribution activities. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this subsidiary after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

 

Fair Value Measurements

At June 30, 2013, there was no difference between the carrying value and fair market value of the Company’s cash equivalents.

Reclassifications

 

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

 

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance requiring a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The presentation of unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of a deferred tax asset is consistent with an entity’s analysis of the realizability of its deferred tax assets and, as a result, is not expected to change an entity’s assessment of realizability. For public companies, this guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements

7. INCOME TAXES

 

At June 30,December 31, 2013, the Company had federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) and related state NOLs. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards BoardFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recorded a full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future.

 

The Company did not record a tax provision during the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2013 as the Company expects its annual effective tax rate to be zero. In addition to the Company’s federal NOLs, it also made an election under Section 172(b)(1)(H) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 172”), as amended per the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009, to carry back its fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 applicable NOL for a period of 3 years, and carry forward the loss for up to 20 years, which offsets the Alternative Minimum Tax in the current tax year. In addition, the state of California has reinstated the NOL carryover deduction for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012, which are expected to offset any state taxes during the 20132014 fiscal year.


 

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

(“Iroquois”), a shareholder of the Company, against the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Delaware Litigation”). The action is a purported derivative actionparty or to which alleges breachany of fiduciary duty and other claims against the individual defendants based on the issuance of stock options to them, which the plaintiff alleges were granted in violation of the terms of the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company was also named in the action as a nominal defendant against which no recoveryits property is sought. The plaintiff seeks rescission or repricing of the stock options at issue and other damages, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Rather than oppose the motion, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 19, 2012. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended derivative complaint on December 17, 2012. The Company and the individual defendants seek dismissal of the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff has failed to comply with Delaware law in filing the complaint. The individual defendants seek dismissal on the additional grounds that the Complaint fails to state a legal claim against them. A hearing on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended derivative complaint was held March 4, 2013.

On May 21, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Iroquois to settle the potential proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors to the Board at the annual meeting. The Company agreed, among other things, to nominate three new nominees to the Board and to pay to Iroquois its legal and advisory fees in connection with its nomination of director candidates, in the amount of $301,496, which was paid in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Also as part of the settlement, the Company and Iroquois agreed to execute a Stipulation of Settlement seeking to settle the Delaware Litigation brought by Iroquois in July 2012. As part of the settlement, Thomas R. Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has agreed to increase the exercise price of the option granted to Mr. Brown in May 2012 to $3.00 per share. A hearing is scheduled for September 10, 2013 to request approval of the Stipulation of Settlement by the Delaware Court. If the Delaware Court approves the Stipulation, Iroquois’ Counsel shall apply to the Delaware Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses of no more than $340,000.

At this time, the Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that it could incur a loss, after reimbursement of insurance, of $19,271 for Iroquois’ attorneys’ fees and has accrued this expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This amount is an estimate which is subject to change based on the final insurance reimbursement and the ruling by the Delaware Court.subject.

In 2012, to meet the needs of the growing worldwide mass notification market, and taking advantage of our LRAD technology, we designed and developed the LRAD 360. Most mass notification systems are primarily sirens. In addition to a loud deterrent tone, the LRAD 360 provides the same highly intelligible voice clarity as the rest of the LRAD product line. However, it is designed to transmit communications and warnings over a 360-degree area, unlike the more directional LRAD products. We are in the process of developing a product line to meet this market and have launched the following products to date:

Overall Business Outlook

We are experiencing positive response and increased acceptance of our products. We believe we have a solid technology and product foundation with our LRAD-X product line, and we have expanded our product line seeking to service new markets and customers for greater business growth. We believe that we have strong market opportunities within the worldwide government and military sector, as well as increased commercial applications as a result of continued global threats to governments, commerce and law enforcement, and in wildlife preservation and control applications. We intend to continue to expand our selling efforts internationally, especially in the Middle East and South America where we believe there is greater opportunity for the sale of our products. We also plan to continue to expand our presence in the mass notification market with our LRAD 360X product line. Our selling network has expanded through the addition of business development employees as well as continuing to include a number ofimprove and increase our relationships with key integrators and sales representatives within the United States and in a number of worldwide locations. However, we may continue to face challenges through the balance ofin fiscal 20132014 due to extremecontinuing international economic and geopolitical conditions in certain countries.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.2013. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

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

The decreaseincrease in revenues was primarily due to delaysstrong sales for oil platforms and vessels as well as public safety orders. In addition, a $1.3 million order for a national police force in Southeast Asia was scheduled to ship in the receiptfirst fiscal quarter, but was delayed due to a supply issue and delivery of orderswill now ship in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year.second fiscal quarter. Uncertainty on U.S. defense spending continued through the current quarter as a result of sequestration and the delayed passage of the FY13 continuing resolution.quarter. Due to the budgetary cycles of our customer base and the lack of established markets for our proprietary products, we expect continued uneven quarterly revenues in future periods.

At June 30,December 31, 2013, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $270,559 collected$171,666 for prepayments from a license agreementcustomers in advance of recognized revenue. This revenue component is subject to significant variability based on the timing, amount and recognition of new arrangements or payment terms.product shipment.

Gross Profit

The decreaseincrease in gross profit in the quarter was primarily due to decreased revenue and some unfavorable product mix, partially offset by favorable manufacturing overhead spending.increased revenue.

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses reflected a $394,632an increase in legalof $219,983 for consulting fees and other professional fees related to the current lawsuit, which the parties are seeking to settle with the Delaware Court, and responding to the threatened proxy contest, which was settled in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Additional increases included $91,221 for salaries as a result of hiring additional business development personnel, $51,832 for commission expense to third party representatives, $32,543 for trade shows, $31,806 for increased travel and $38,894$3,336 for costs related to the proxy and annual meeting which was held in an earlier quarter of the prior year,other reductions. These expenses were partially offset by $30,363 savingsa decrease of $58,655 for moving expensesnon-cash share-based compensation expense due to moving the Company’s office in the prior yearfully vested stock options and $7,505 of other reductions.$28,776 for legal fees.

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $178,777$131,176 and $174,873,$189,831, respectively.

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales. In addition, we expect some additional legal expenses to continue in the third fiscal quarter due to the recent lawsuit and proxy matters. This may result in increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the future.

 

 

  

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses reflected a small spending increase,decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to increased rent allocation in the new building.favorable travel expenses.

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $11,798$16,580 and $18,366$12,248 of non-cash share-based compensation costs, respectively.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, the availability of funds for research and development and the timing and extent of the use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we have further expanded the product line-up in 20132014 and 20122013 with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we expect research and development costs to continue in the current fiscal year on a basis comparable to the prior year.

Net Income

The increase in the loss from operationsnet income was primarily attributabledue to the decreaseincrease in revenues and gross margin, and an increase in legal and professional fees.

Net Loss

The increase in net loss was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and gross margin and an increase in legal and professional fees. We did not recognize any income tax expense in the current year, compared to a benefit of $153,518 in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues decreased by 9.2% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to uncertainty on defense spending through much of the year as a result of sequestration and the delayed passage of the FY13 continuing resolution. Contract and other revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 includes $591,094 for an annual maintenance agreement for units sold to a foreign military in fiscal 2011, compared to $197,031 for only one quarter in the prior year. Due to the budgetary cycles of our customer base and the lack of established markets for our proprietary products, we expect continued uneven quarterly revenues in future periods.

At June 30, 2013, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $270,559 collected from a license agreement in advance of recognized revenue. This revenue component is subject to significant variability based on the timing, amount and recognition of new arrangements or payment terms.

Gross Profit

The decrease in gross profit year to date was primarily due to lower revenues, unfavorable product mix and an increase in contracted annual maintenance costs when compared to the costs for the first year warranty period in the prior year, related to a large foreign military sale in March 2011.

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses reflected a $994,946 increase in legal and other professional fees related to the current lawsuit, which the parties are seeking to settle with the Delaware Court, and responding to the threatened proxy contest, which was settled in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, $128,577 increase in non-cash share-based compensation and $93,688 increase in salaries and consulting expenses, partially offset by a $103,654 decrease in commissionincreased expense for business development personnel and consultants to our contracted sales representatives, $57,940 decrease in travel expense and $53,858 of other spending reductions.increase selling efforts.


 

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $539,652 and $411,075, respectively.

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales. In addition, we expect legal expenses related to the lawsuit and proxy matters to continue into the third fiscal quarter. This may result in increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the future.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses reflected a $43,496 increase in rent due to increased square footage in our new office facility and a $40,302 increase in product development costs, offset by $6,861 of spending reductions.

Included in research and development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $36,021 and $46,509 of non-cash share-based compensation costs, respectively.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we reviewed the ongoing value of our capitalized intangible assets. As a result of this review, we reduced the value of these patents by $0 and $18,205 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, the availability of funds for research and development and the timing and extent of the use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we further expanded the product line-up in 2013 and 2012 with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we expect research and development costs to continue in the current fiscal year on a basis comparable to the prior year.

(Loss) Income from Operations

The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues and gross profit and an increase in legal and professional fees.

Net (Loss) Income

The decrease in net income was primarily the result of the decrease in revenues and gross profit, and an increase in legal and professional fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30,December 31, 2013 was $15,057,571,$18,086,313, compared to $13,859,505$15,805,195 at September 30, 2012.2013. The change in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of a reduction in accounts receivable from strong year-end shipments in September 30, 2012,2013, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable as we paid for the inventory purchases required for fourth quarter shipments and an increase in inventory based on forecasted requirements. Other than cash and cash equivalents and expected future cash flows from operating activities in subsequent periods, we have no other unused sources of liquidity at this time. The Company has approved a share buyback program that could result in the use of up to $3 million to repurchase outstanding common shares through December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, our working capital was $20,502,082 and $21,312,250, respectively.

Principal factors that could affect our liquidity include:

ability to meet sales projections;

ability to meet sales projections;

government spending levels;

introduction of competing technologies;

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

Item 3.

QualitativeQuantitative and QuantitativeQualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s interest income is sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.cash. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is minimal as a result of maintaining cash in savings accounts and short term money market accounts. The Company currently does not have any debt that could be subject to interest fluctuation or market risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

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

 


Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

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


 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30,December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our financial statements for pending litigation. On July 24, 2012,Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company was served with a complaint filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by Iroquois Master Fund Ltd., a shareholder of the Company (“Iroquois”), against the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Delaware Litigation”). The action is a purported derivative action,party or to which alleges breachany of fiduciary duty and other claims against the individual defendants based on the issuance of stock options to them, which the plaintiff alleges were granted in violation of the terms of the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company was also named in the action as a nominal defendant against which no recoveryits property is sought. The plaintiff seeks rescission or repricing of the stock options at issue and other damages, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Rather than oppose the motion, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 19, 2012. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended derivative complaint on December 17, 2012. The Company and the individual defendants seek dismissal of the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff has failed to comply with Delaware law in filing the complaint. The individual defendants seek dismissal on the additional grounds that the Complaint fails to state a legal claim against them. A hearing on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended derivative complaint was held March 4, 2013.subject.

The Company received a notice and a Schedule 13D was filed by Iroquois with the SEC on January 17, 2013 announcing Iroquois’ intention to nominate a slate of five directors to stand for election at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “annual meeting”). The Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed and considered the nominations as well as qualified individuals who were submitted by other stockholders to serve on the Board. On May 21, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Iroquois to settle the potential proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors to the Board at the annual meeting. The Company agreed, among other things, to nominate three new nominees to the Board and to pay to Iroquois its legal and advisory fees in connection with its nomination of director candidates, in the amount of $301,496, which was paid in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Also as part of the settlement, the Company and Iroquois agreed to execute a Stipulation of Settlement seeking to settle the Delaware Litigation brought by Iroquois in July 2012. As part of the settlement, Thomas R. Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has agreed to increase the exercise price of the option granted to Mr. Brown in May 2012 to $3.00 per share. A hearing is scheduled for September 10, 2013 to request approval of the Stipulation of Settlement by the Delaware Court. If the Delaware Court approves the Stipulation, Iroquois’ Counsel shall apply to the Delaware Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses of no more than $340,000.
