NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and with applicable rules and regulations. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or for any future periods.

 

You should read the financial statements and these notes, which notes are an integral part of the financial statements, together with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (“20202021 (“2021 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this Report are the same policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 20202021 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On December 18, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This new standard eliminates certain exceptions in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted in any interim period within that year. We have adopted this ASU effective this first quarter of fiscal 2022. This ASU did not adopt any accounting pronouncements during the three months ended September 30, 2020. have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

 

In November 2020, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10825, Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103, and 105, which release amends and clarifies certain of our financial reporting requirements. This release will primarily impact risk factor disclosures in our future Annual Reports.

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not discussed in this Report as such pronouncements did not have, and are not believed by management to have, a material impact on our present or future financial statements.

 

Net Income per Common Share

 

We compute net income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per common share using the additional dilutive effect of all dilutive securities. The dilutive impact of stock options and unvested restricted shares account for the additional weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for our diluted net income per common share computation. We calculated basic and diluted net income per common share as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

We did not exclude any stock options or restricted stock shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as none would have had an anti-dilutive impact. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 we excluded shares related to stock options totaling 90,000 underlying shares and 116,658 shares of issued but unvested restricted stock, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. We did not exclude any stock options or restricted stock shares for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as none would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We record revenue based on a five-stepfive-step model thatwhich includes: (1)(1) identifying a contract with a customer; (2)(2) identifying the performance obligations in thatthe contract; (3)(3) determining the total transaction price; (4)(4) allocating thatthe transaction price among the performance obligations; and (5)(5) recognizing revenue as each of the various performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue is measured as the net amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilling one or more performance obligations. We identify purchase orders from customers as contracts. The amount of consideration expected to be received and thus revenue recognized includes estimates of variable consideration, including estimates for early payment discounts and volume rebates. Such estimates are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. We review and update these estimates at the end of each reporting period and the impact of any adjustments is recognized in the period thosethe adjustments are identified. In assessing whether collection of consideration from a customer is probable, we consider both the customer's ability and intent to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. Payment of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer contracts,agreement, which is typically 30 days from the invoice date. Invoices are generally issued on the date of transfer of control of the products ordered to the customer.

 

Revenue is recognized at the point in time that each of our performance obligations is fulfilled, and control of the ordered products is transferred to the customer. This transfer occurs when the product is shipped, or in some cases, when the product is delivered to the customer.

We provide early payment discounts to certain customers. Based on historical payment trends, we expect that these customers will continue to take advantage of these early payment discounts. The cost of these discounts is reported as a reduction to the transaction price of customer contracts.price. If the actual discounts differ from those estimated, the difference is also reported as a change in the transaction price. We require prepayment from certain customers. We record any payments received in advance of contracts fulfillment as a contract liability and classified as customer deposits on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Except for product defects, no right of return exists on the sale of our products. We estimate returns based on historical experience and recognize a returns liability for any estimated returns. As of September 30, 2020, 2021, we have no liability recorded for estimated0 known returns of products.liability.

 

We have an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement with The Juice Plus+, as amended and restated on March 31, 2019, (the "JP Agreement" Company LLC (“Juice Plus+”). through August 6, 2025. Pursuant to the JPExclusive Manufacturing Agreement, Juice Plus+ has granted us exclusive rights to manufacture and supply them with certain of their products within 24 countries where Juice Plus+ currently sells those products. The JP Agreement is effective through August 6, 2025. As part of the JPPursuant to this Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement, we provide Juice Plus+ with a cash discount that is amortized ratably overdiscount. We recorded $0.3 million of “Cash Sales Discount” for the remaining life of the JP Agreement based on the full value of the cash discount expectedthree months ended September 30, 2021, which was recorded as a reduction to be given over the same period.net sales. We recorded $0.4 million of cash sales discount“Cash Sales Discount” during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.with such amounts recorded as a reduction to net sales.

 

We currently own certain U.S. patents, and each patent’s corresponding foreign patent applications. All of these patents and patent rights relate to the ingredient known as “beta-alanine”, which we marketbeta-alanine marketed and sellsold under our CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® trade names. We recorded beta-alanine raw material sales and royalty and licensing income as a component of revenue in the amount of $4.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. We similarly recorded $3.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.  These royalty income and raw material sale amounts resulted in royalty expense paid to the original patent holders from whom NAI acquired its patents and patent rights. We recognized royalty expense as a component of cost of goods sold in the amount of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. We recognized $0.2 million of royalty expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We had an omnibus equity incentive plan that was approved by our Board of Directors effective October 15, 2009 and approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 30, 2009 ("2009 Plan"). Under the 2009 Plan, we granted nonqualified and incentive stock options and restricted stock grants to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The 2009 Plan expired on October 15, 2019. The Board of Directors approved a new omnibus equity incentive plan to bethat became effective October 15, 2019 (“2019January 1, 2021 (the “2020 Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. However, the 2019 Planwhich was not approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 4, 2020. Under the 2020 Plan, we may grant nonqualified and therefore did not become effective. We currently do not have an equity incentive plan but may still be recording exercisesstock options, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and forfeitures under the 2009 Plan.other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

Deferred Compensation Plan

 

Effective July 16, 2020, the Board of Directors approved and adopted a Non-Qualified Incentive Plan (the “NQ“Incentive Plan”). Pursuant to the NQIncentive Plan, the Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors may make deferred cash payments or other cash awards (“Awards”) to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants of NAI, (“Participants”). These Awards are made subject to conditions precedent that must be met before NAI is obligated to make the payment. The purpose of the NQIncentive Plan is to enhance the long-term stockholder value of NAI by providing the Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors the ability to make deferred cash payments or other cash awards to encourage Participants to serve NAI or to remain in the service of NAI, or to assist NAI to achieve results determined by the Human Resources Committee or the Board of Directors to be in NAI's best interest.

 

The NQIncentive Plan authorizes the Human Resources Committee or the Board of Directors to grant to, and administer, unsecured and deferred cash Awards to Participants and to subject each Award to whatever conditions are determined appropriate by the Human Resources Committee or the Board of Directors. The terms of each Award, including the amount and any conditions that must be met to be entitled to payment of the Award are set forth in an Award Agreement between each Participant and NAI. The NQIncentive Plan provides the Board of Directors with the discretion to set aside assets to fund the NQIncentive Plan although that has not been done to date.

 

On July 16, 2020,There were 0 deferred cash awards granted during the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we granted a total of $1.0 million in deferred cash awards to members of our Board of Directors and certain key members of our management team. Of the total $1.0 million in deferred cash awards granted, awards totaling $119,000 were granted to various officers, directors and employees of NAI pursuant toforfeited during the NQ Plan, each providingthree months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, awards totaling $72,000 that were issued in March 2021 were also forfeited during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Each deferred cash award provides for three equal cash payments to the applicable Participant each of which shallto be paid on the one year, two year, and twothree year and three year anniversaryanniversaries of the date of the grant of such AwardAwards, (the “Award Date”); provided that, on the date of each payment (the “Payment Date”), the Participant has been since Award Date, and continues to be through the Payment Date, a member of our Board of Directors or an employee of NAI. In the event a Participant ceases to be an employee of NAI or a member of our Board of Directors prior to any Payment Date, no further payments shall be made in connection with the Award.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Except for cash and cash equivalents, and assets and liabilities related to our pension plan, as of September 30, 2020 2021 and June 30, 2020, 2021, we did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 1. We classify derivative forward exchange contracts as Level 2 assets and liabilities. The fair value of our Euro and Swiss Franc forward exchange contracts as of September 30, 2020 2021 was a net liabilityasset of $2.4$1.6 million. The fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of June 30, 2020 2021 included a net assetliability of $0.3$0.8 million. The fair values were determined by obtaining pricing from our bank and corroborating those values with a third party bank.bank or pricing service. We also classify our outstanding line of credit and term loan balance as a Level 2 liability, as the fair value is based on inputs that can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. As of September 30, 2020, 2021, and June 30, 2020, 2021, we did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 3. We did not transfer any assets or liabilities between these levels during fiscal 20202021 or the three months ended September 30, 2020. 2021. 

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor and evaluate the risks to public health and the impact on overall global business activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential impacts on our employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. As the situation remains fluid, it is difficult to predict the duration and scope of the pandemic and its impact on our business. However, it may result in a material adverse impact to our financial position, operations and cash flows if conditions persist or worsen.

ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Under this ASU, we reclassified $0.1 million of gains from OCI to retained earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

E. Leases

 

On July 1, 2019, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 842, Leases, or ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the “Right of Use Assets”We currently lease for our Vista, CA and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As permitted by ASC 842, we elected the adoption date of July 1, 2019, which is the date of initial application. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease expenses are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the Right of Use Asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense. The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases under ASC 842 is substantially consistent with ASC 840. As a result, there is no material difference in our results of operations presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for each period presented.

We adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at July 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 had a substantial impact on our balance sheet. The most significant impact was the recognition of the operating lease Right of Use Assets and the liability for operating leases. Upon adoption, leases that were previously classified as operating leases under ASC 840 were classified as operating leases under ASC 842, and we recorded an adjustment of $20.7 million to operating lease Right of Use Assets and an adjustment of $20.9 million to the related lease liability. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, determined under ASC 840, discounted using our secured incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of July 1, 2019, and using the expected lease term(s), including any optional renewals, as the length of time over which to discount payments. As permitted under ASC 842, we elected several practical expedients that permit us to not reassess (1) whether existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. The application of the practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the measurement of the operating lease liability.

Other information related to leases was as follows (in thousands):

We lease substantially all of ourLugano, Switzerland product manufacturing and support office space used to conduct our business. For contracts entered into on or after that effective date, atfacilities. At the inception of a contract we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1)(1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2)(2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract, and (3)(3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset during such time period. At inception of a lease, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

 

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease must be classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria. Substantially all our operating leases are comprised of payments for the use of manufacturing and office space. We have no leases classified as finance leases. As of September 30, 2020, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases was 7.06.1 years. The weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 3.25%3.24%. As of June 30, 2020, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases was 7.2 years. The6.3 years and the weighted average discount rate was 3.24%.

 

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a Right of Use Assetright-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The Right of Use Assetright-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

 

The Right of Use Assetright-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All Right of Use Assetsright-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. For our real estate and other operating leases, we use our secured incremental borrowing rate.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.

 

Some of our manufacturing leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on an index or rate. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at lease commencement and separated into lease and non-lease components based on the initial amount stated in the lease or standalone selling prices. Lease components are included in the measurement of the initial lease liability. Additional payments based on the change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.

 

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the Right of Use Assetright-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense determined on an amortized cost basis. The lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

 

We have elected not to recognize Right of Use Assetsright-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases if we had used Right of Use Assetson our right-of-use asset and lease liabilities would liability was not have been material.

F.F. Debt

 

On July 1, 2019, May 24, 2021, we executed an amendment to ourentered into a new credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.N.A (“Wells Fargo”) to extend the maturity date for our working line of credit from February 1, 2021, to November 1, 2022, to May 24, 2024. This new credit facility provides total lending capacity of up to $20.0 million and allows us to use the credit facility for working capital as well as potential acquisitions. On August 18, 2021, we entered into an amendment of our credit facility with Wells Fargo. The amended credit facility added a $10.0 million term loan to the existing $20.0 million credit facility, and permitted us to use the $10.0 million term loan as part of the $17.5 million purchase consideration for the acquisition of our new manufacturing and warehouse property in Carlsbad, California. The amended credit agreement also increased the allowed capital expenditures from $10.0 million to $15.0 million (exclusive of the amount paid for the acquisition of the new Carlsbad property noted above) for fiscal 2022. In addition, the new credit notes now reflect a change in the interest rate reference from LIBOR to SOFR. The Credit Agreement provides us withwas amended and a credit linenew Revolving Line of upCredit Note, and Security Agreement were entered into. A Term Note and real property security documents were added to $10.0 million. The line of credit may be used to finance working capital requirements. There was no commitment fee required as part of this amendment.secure the Term Note by the new Carlsbad property.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements including maintaining (i) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.251.50 to 1.0 at any time; and (ii) a ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities of not less than 1.75 to 1.0 at each fiscal quarter end (iii) net income after taxes not less than $1.00, determined on a trailing four quarter basis with notwo consecutive quarterly losses, determined as of each quarter end and (iv) a rolling 4-quarter fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of each fiscal quarter end. The credit agreement also includes a limitation on the amount of capital expenditures that can be made in a given fiscal year, with such limitation set at $15.0 million for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 and $7.5 million for all fiscal years thereafter. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit will bear interest at a fixed or fluctuating interest rate as elected by us from time to time; provided, however, that if the outstanding principal amount is less than $100,000 such amount shall bear interest at the then applicable fluctuating rate of interest. If elected, the fluctuating rate per annum would be equal to 1.25%1.29% above the daily one month LIBORsimple SOFR rate as in effect from time to time. If a fixed rate is elected, it would equal a per annum rate of 1.25%1.29% above the LIBORSOFR rolling 30-day average rate in effect on the first day of the applicable fixed rate term. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit must be paid in full on or before the maturity date. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fluctuating interest rate may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fixed interest rate may be prepaid at any time in minimum amounts of $100,000, subject to a prepayment fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences between payment under a fixed rate versus payment under the variable rate for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which the then applicable fixed rate term matures. On There is an unused commitment fee of 0.125% required as part of the line of credit.

The Term Note used as part of the purchase consideration of our new manufacturing and warehouse property in Carlsbad California referenced above, is for the original principal amount of $10.0 million, and is a seven year term note with payments fully amortized based on a twenty five year assumed term. Installment payments under this loan commenced October 1, 2021 and continue through August 1, 2028 with a final installment consisting of all remaining amounts due to be paid in full on September 1, 2028. Amounts outstanding on this note during the term of the agreement will bear interest equal to 1.8% above the SOFR rolling 30-day average. In connection with our term loan, we entered into an interest rate swap with Wells Fargo that effectively fixes our interest rate on our term loan at 2.4% for the firstthree years of the term of the note. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of 2021, the financialdifference between our contractual swap rate and other covenants required under the Credit Agreement.current market rate was not determined to be significant.

 

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory, equipment and fixtures. We also have credit approval with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which allows us to hedge foreign currency exposures up to 30 months in the future. We also have credit approval with Bank of America which allows us to hedge foreign currency exposures up to 24 months in the future.

 

In lightOn September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the global economic uncertainty related to COVID-19financial and as a preventative measure to provide our business with potentially necessary liquidity, and outother covenants required under the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of an abundance of caution, September 30, 2021, we withdrew $10had the full $20.0 million fromavailable for borrowing under our credit facility with Wells Fargo during the fiscal year ended JuneBank.

As of September 30, 2020. While 2021, we have not yet experienced any significant negative effects related to COVID-19 and notwithstanding our belief that our cash position and working capital excluding thishad $10.0 million borrowing is sufficient to support our ongoing operations, we deemed it prudent to borrow against our lineoutstanding under the Term Note used toward the purchased warehouse in August 2021.

H.H. Segment Information

 

Our business consists of two2 segments for financial reporting purposes. The two segments are identified as (i) private-label contract manufacturing, which primarily relates to the provision of private-label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute nutritional supplements and other health care products, and (ii) patent and trademark licensing, which primarily includes direct raw material sales and royalty income from our license and supply agreements associated with the sale and use of beta-alanine under our CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® trade names.

 

We evaluate performance of these segments based on a number of factors. The primary performance measures for each segment are net sales and income or loss from operations before the allocation of certain corporate level expenses. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to human resources, corporate legal, finance, information technology, and other corporate level related expenses, which are not allocated to any segment. Transfers of raw materials between segments are recorded at cost. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note A.A above and in the consolidated financial statements included in our 20202021 Annual Report.

I.I. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was (28.0%). Our effective rates differ from the fiscal 2021 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit discussed below. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 21.3%.

 

To determine our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions to which we are subject. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payrollOur effective tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJ Act”), and estimated income tax payments. The CARES Act also allows net operating losses (NOL) to be carried back five years.  We expect to use this carryback periodrate for the NOL generated with our Junethree months ended September 30, 2021 was 22.5%. Our effective rates differ from the fiscal 2022 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 federal tax return, and have recorded awas (28.0%), primarily due to the discrete tax benefit in the current quarter, as discussed below.

 

On July 23, 2020, the Department of Treasury issued final regulations which provide an exclusion to the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) calculation on an elective basis. These regulations were effective September 21, 2020 and maycould be retroactively.retroactively applied. Under these new regulations, we are able to exclude the GILTI calculation from our domestic taxable income if the deemed effective tax rate at our foreign subsidiary is greater than 18.9%. We assessed this rate, including the implementation of certain tax strategies, and we have determined that our effective rate at NAIE isour foreign subsidiary was greater than 18.9% as of the year ending June 30, 2020. WeDuring the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we reassessed our estimated taxes for fiscal 2020 and in the three months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded a reduction to our fiscal 2020 estimated taxes of $0.4 million as a discrete benefit. As a result of this adjustment, we now expect our domestic tax return willfor fiscal 2020 was expected to reflect a net operating loss and,which, in accordance with the CARES ACT, we plan on carrying thisAct, allowed us to carry the loss back to fiscal 2015 which reflected and fiscal 2016. Such carryback resulted in a higher federal tax rate.  Due to this rate differential we have recordedthat resulted in the recognition of a permanent discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020.  As a result of this tax planning strategy for NAIE, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 we have recorded additional foreign estimated tax expense of $0.4 million and we have reversed our deferred tax liability of $0.5 million.

 

We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, 2021, there was no change to our valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled using the tax rates then in effect. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date for such new rates.

 

We are subject to taxation in the U.S., Switzerland and in the U.S. at the federal level and in various state jurisdictions. Our U.S. tax yearsreturns for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 2015 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S. tax authorities. Our state tax yearsreturns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 2017 and forward are subject to examination by the state tax authorities. Our Swiss tax yearsreturns for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 2020 and forward are subject to examination by the Swiss tax authorities.

 

It is our policy to establish reserves based on management’s assessment of exposure for certain positions taken in previously filed tax returns that may become payable upon auditexamination by tax authorities. Our tax reserves are analyzed quarterly, and adjustments are made as events occur that we believe warrant adjustments to those reserves. There were no0 adjustments to reserves in the three month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2020.2021.

 

 

J.J. Treasury Stock

 

On September 18, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a $2.0 million increase to our stock repurchase plan (“Repurchase Plan”), thus bringing the total authorized repurchase amount to $12.0 million. On March 12, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $3.0 million increase to the Repurchase Plan, thus bringing the total authorized repurchase amount to $15.0 million. Under the Repurchase Plan, we may, from time to time, purchase shares of our common stock, depending upon market conditions, in open market or privately negotiated transactions.

K.K. Derivatives and Hedging

 

We are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to forecasted product sales denominated in foreign currencies and to other transactions of NAIE, our foreign subsidiary. As part of our overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we may use foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts. To the extent we enter into such contracts, there can be no guarantee any such contracts will be effective hedges against our foreign currency exchange risk.

 

As of September 30, 2020, 2021, we had forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges primarily to protect against the foreign exchange risks inherent in our forecasted sales of products at prices denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These contracts are expected to be settled through August 2022. 2023. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.

 

For foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges, hedge effectiveness is measured using the spot rate. Changes in the spot-forward differential are excluded from the test of hedge effectiveness and are recorded currently in earnings as interest income or expense.revenue. We measure effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item. No hedging relationships were terminated as a result of ineffective hedging for the three months ended September 30, 2020 2021 and September 30, 2019.2020.

 

We monitor the probability of forecasted transactions as part of the hedge effectiveness testing on a quarterly basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, we did not have any losses or gains related to the ineffective portion of our hedging instruments.

 

As of September 30, 2020, 2021, the notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges were approximately $75.7$67.2 million (EUR 66.256.3 million). As of September 30, 2020, 2021, a net lossgain of approximately $1.8$1.2 million, offset by $0.3 million of deferred taxes, related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was recorded in OCI. It is expected that $1.9$0.8 million will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months along with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions.

 

As of September 30, 2020, $2.52021, $1.2 million of the fair value of our cash flow hedges was classified as a short term liability,asset, and $0.1$0.5 million was classified as other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, 2021, we recognized $2.1$1.4 million of net lossesgains in OCI, and reclassified $0.6$0.1 million of lossesgains and forward point amortization from OCI to Sales. As of June 30, 2020, $0.52021, $0.6 million of the fair value of our cash flow hedges was classified as a current asset,liability, and $0.2 million$4,000 was classified as a long-term liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, 2020, we recognized $1.3$2.1 million of net gainslosses in OCI, reclassified $0.8$0.6 million of gainslosses and forward point amortization from OCI to Sales,Sales.

For foreign currency contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedge are recorded directly to foreign exchange gain or loss in other income in an effort to offset the change in valuation of the underlying hedged item. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 we entered into forward contracts in order to hedge foreign exchange risk associated with our lease liability at NAIE, which is denominated in Swiss Francs (CHF). As of September 30, 2021, the notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts not designated as cash flow hedges were approximately $5.8 million (CHF 5.3 million). As of September 30, 2021, $0.1 million of the fair value of our foreign exchange contracts not designated as cash flow hedges was classified as a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to our $10 million Term Note with Wells Fargo, which carries a variable interest rate of 1.80% above the SOFR rolling 30-day average. To manage our exposure to this variable rate, on August 23, 2021, we entered into a floored interest rate swap that fixes our all-in rate on this loan to 2.4% for the firstthree years of the term loan. Fluctuations in the relation of our contractual swap rate to current market rates are recorded as an asset or liability with an offset to OCI at the end of each reporting period. Interest expense is adjusted for the difference between the actual SOFR spread and reclassified $54,000the swap contractual rate such that our effective interest expense for each period is equal to our hedged rate of gains from OCI to Other Income.2.4%.

 

 

L.L. Contingencies

 

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, regulatory, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise may be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we currently do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could be greater than we currently anticipate and if so, could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes we do not expect.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor and evaluate the risks to public health and the impact on overall global business activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential impacts on our employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. As the situation remains fluid, it is difficult to predict the duration and scope of the pandemic and its impact on our business. However, it may result in a material adverse impact to our financial position, operations and cash flows if conditions persist or worsen.

 

 

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.2021. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this Report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 20202021 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below based on a variety of factors.

 

Executive Overview

 

The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this Report nor does it contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. You should read this overview in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this Report.Report.

 

Our primary business activity is providing private-label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute vitamins, minerals, herbal and other nutritional supplements, as well as other health care products, to consumers both within and outside the U.S. Historically, our revenue has been largely dependent on sales to two or three private-label contract manufacturing customers and subject to variations in the timing of such customers’ orders, which in turn is impacted by such customers’ internal marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into new markets, new product introductions, the demand for such customers’ products, and general industry and economic conditions. Our revenue also includes raw material sales and royalty and licensing revenue generated from license and supply agreements with third parties, granting them the right to use our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property in connection with the distribution and use of the ingredient known as beta-alanine sold under our CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® trademarks.

 

A cornerstone of our business strategy is to achieve long-term growth and profitability and to diversify our sales base. We have sought and expect to continue to seek to diversify our sales by developing relationships with additional, quality-oriented, private-label contract manufacturing customers, and commercializing our patent estate through sales of beta-alanine under our CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® trade names, royalties from license agreements, and potentially additional contract manufacturing opportunities with licensees.

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2022, our net sales were 3% lower than in the first three months of fiscal 2021. Private-label contract manufacturing sales decreased 9% primarily due to lower sales to our largest customer. Sales to this customer decreased 45% as compared to the same period in the prior year with a majority of the decrease associated with an inventory reduction program mostly related to their European business. The decrease in sales to our largest customer was mostly offset by increased sales from other existing customers and sales to a new customer. Revenue concentration risk for our largest private-label contract manufacturing customer as a percentage of our total net sales decreased from 60% to 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. We expect our annualized fiscal year 2022 revenue concentration for this customer to be lower than fiscal year 2021.

During the first three months of fiscal 2022, patent and trademark licensing revenue increased 77% to $4.7 million, compared to revenue of $2.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2021. The increase in patent and trademark licensing revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to increased shipments to existing customers related to athletic activities and gyms reopening in accordance with easing COVID-19 restrictions across the USA as compared to significant restrictions in athletic activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 combined with sales to new customers and higher average sales prices.

We continue to invest in research and development for our SR CarnoSyn® sustained release delivery system.We believe SR CarnoSyn® may provide a unique opportunity within the growing Wellness and Healthy Aging markets. We believe our recent efforts to refine our formulations and product offerings will be positively received and result in significant opportunity for increased SR CarnoSyn® sales.

To protect our CarnoSyn® business and our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property, we incurred litigation and patent compliance expenses of approximately $0.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2022 as compared to $0.4 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2021. The decrease in these legal expenses on a year over year basis was primarily due to the successful resolution of several cases that were settled. Our ability to maintain or further increase our beta-alanine royalty and licensing revenue will depend in large part on our ability to develop a market for our sustained release form of beta-alanine marketed under our SR CarnoSyn® trademark, maintain our patent rights, obtain the raw material beta-alanine when and in the amounts needed, expand distribution of beta-alanine to new and existing customers, and continued compliance by third parties with our license agreements and our patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights. During the remainder of fiscal 2022, we will continue our sales and marketing activities to consumers, customers, potential customers, and brand owners on multiple platforms to promote and reinforce the features and benefits of utilizing CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® beta-alanine.

Based on our current sales order volumes and forecasts we have received from our customers, we now anticipate our fiscal 2022 consolidated net sales will increase between 7.0% and 10.0% as compared to fiscal 2021. We also now anticipate we will generate operating income between 10.0% and 13.0% of net sales for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. Sales and profitability during the first half of fiscal 2022 are anticipated to decline when compared to the same period of fiscal 2021. Our expectations for the first half of fiscal 2022 are being driven by continuing supply chain, labor and logistical constraints, all of which are expected to result in a backlog of existing orders that may not get fully cleared until the second half of fiscal 2022. We currently anticipate these manufacturing challenges will mostly resolve themselves during the second half of fiscal 2022. As a result, we expect sales and profitability in the second half of fiscal 2022 to exceed the comparable period in fiscal 2021, with the overall fiscal 2022 results reflecting an increase in both sales and profitability on a full year basis. There can be no assurance our expectations will result in the currently anticipated increase in net sales or operating income. Notwithstanding, we are also closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time or severity of the pandemic and cannot currently reliably estimate the impact this pandemic may have on our consolidated financial results for fiscal 2022 and beyond.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely continue to affect our business. Significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our facilities, located both in the United States and Europe, continue to operate as an essential and critical manufacturer in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, however, there can be no assurance our facilities will continue to operate without interruption. Factors that derive from COVID-19 and the accompanying response, and that have or may negatively impact sales and gross margin in the future include, but are not limited to the following:

 

Limitations on the ability of our suppliers to manufacture, or procure from manufacturers, the materials included in the products we sell, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments;

Limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or due to other restrictions on our employees to keep them safe and the increased cost of measures taken to ensure employee health and safety;

Local, state, or federal orders requiring employeesLimitation on the availability of qualified individuals to remain at home;adequately staff our manufacturing facilities;

Limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver materials to us or deliver our products to customers;

Limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and

Limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.

 

As a preventative measure to provide our business with potentially needed liquidity, and out of an abundance of caution, we withdrew $10 million from our credit facility with Wells Fargo in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions to alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders. While we are unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, we believe we will be able to remain operational and our working capital will be sufficient for us to remain operational even as the longer term consequences of this pandemic become known.

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, our net sales were 36% higher than in the first three months of fiscal 2020. Private-label contract manufacturing sales increased 42% due primarily to higher sales to our largest customer including increased shipments of existing products and sales of a newly awarded product, as well as sales of new products to other new and existing customers, partially offset by a reduction due to a discontinued customer relationship. A significant portion of these increased sales was directly related to higher sales of immune and wellness products sold by our customers during the COVID-19 pandemic period. We currently believe this sales trend will continue for at least the remainder of our fiscal 2021. Sales to our largest private-label contract manufacturing customer increased 67% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue concentration risk for our largest private-label contract manufacturing customer as a percentage of our total net sales increased from 49% to 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. We expect our annualized fiscal year 2021 revenue concentration for this customer to be higher than fiscal year 2020.

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, CarnoSyn® beta-alanine revenue decreased 16% to $2.7 million, compared to revenue of $3.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2020. The decrease in beta-alanine revenue was due to decreased material shipments primarily resulting from certain of our former customers discontinuing the use of CarnoSyn® beta-alanine in favor of generic beta-alanine and the negative impact COVID-19 has had on the sports nutrition industry due to continued limitations on athletic activities and gyms, partially offset by an increase in royalty income.

We continue to invest in research and development for our SR CarnoSyn® sustained release delivery system.We believe SR CarnoSyn® may provide a unique opportunity within the growing Wellness and Healthy Aging markets. We believe our recent efforts to refine our formulations and product offerings will be positively received and result in significant opportunity for increased SR CarnoSyn® sales.

To protect our CarnoSyn® business and our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property, we incurred litigation and patent compliance expenses of approximately $0.4 million during the first three months of fiscal 2021 as compared to $0.8 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in these legal expenses on a year over year basis was primarily due to the successful resolution of several cases that were settled. Our ability to maintain or further increase our beta-alanine royalty and licensing revenue will depend in large part on our ability to develop a market for our sustained release form of beta-alanine marketed under our SR CarnoSyn® trademark, maintain our patent rights, obtain the raw material beta-alanine when and in the amounts needed, expand distribution of beta-alanine to new and existing customers, and continued compliance by third parties with our license agreements and our patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights. During the remainder of fiscal 2021, we will continue our sales and marketing activities to consumers, customers, potential customers, and brand owners on multiple platforms to promote and reinforce the features and benefits of utilizing CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® beta-alanine.

Based on our current sales order volumes and future period sales forecasts we have received from our customers, we expect our annualized fiscal 2021 net sales to increase between 30% to 50% as compared to fiscal 2020. We also expect to generate operating income between 5% to 7% of net sales for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. There can be no assurance our expectations will result in the currently anticipated increase in net sales, or operating income. Notwithstanding we are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reliably estimate the length of time or severity of the pandemic, and cannot reliably estimate the total impact this pandemic may have on our consolidated financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and beyond.

During the remainder of fiscal year 2021,2022, we also plan to continue our focus on:

 

 

Leveraging our state-of-the-art, certified facilities to increase the value of the goods and services we provide to our highly valued private-label contract manufacturing customers, and to assist us in developing relationships with additional quality oriented customers;

 

 

 

Expanding the commercialization of our beta-alanine patent estate through raw material sales, developing a new sales distribution channel under the Wellness and Healthy Aging category for our sustained release form of beta-alanine marketed under our SR CarnoSyn® trademark, exploiting new contract manufacturing opportunities license and royalty agreements, and protecting our proprietary rights; and

 

 

 

Improving operational efficiencies and managing costs and business risks to improve profitability.

 

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements requires we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies we believethe following as our most critical accounting estimates, which are those that are most important to the accurate and complete portrayal of ourthe Company’s financial condition and results, and that require management’s most subjective and complex judgments. Information regarding our other significant accounting estimates and policies are disclosed in Note 1 of operations. These policies requireItem 1 of this report and as disclosed in the application2021 Annual Report.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is measured as the net amount of significant judgment by our management. We baseconsideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilling one or more performance obligations. For certain contracts with volume rebates, our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards,of future sales used to assess the volume rebate estimates are subject to a high degree of judgement and various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results couldmay differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition,actual sales due to, among other things, changes in financial condition,customer orders and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.raw material availability. 

 

Our critical accounting policies are discussed under Item 7 of our 2020 Annual Report and recently adopted and issued accounting pronouncements are discussed under Item 1, Note A to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report.

Our income tax expense decreased $0.5increased $1.4 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. This increase was primarily related to a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 without a corresponding discrete item in the three months ended September 30, 2020, offset by higher2021. In addition, taxable income forwas higher in the three months ended September 30, 2020,first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.first quarter in fiscal 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of borrowings under our credit facility. Net cash providedused by operating activities was $0.1$3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6$0.1 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

 

At September 30, 2020,2021, changes in accounts receivable, consisting of amounts due from our private-label contract manufacturing customers and our patent and trademark licensing activities, used $2.2$2.4 million in cash compared to providingusing $2.2 million of cash during the comparable three month period in the prior year. The decreaseincrease in cash providedused by accounts receivable during the three months ended September 30, 20202021 primarily resulted from increased sales and the timing of sales and related collections. Days sales outstanding was 4246 days during the three months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to 4742 days for the prior year period.

 

Changes in inventory used $7.2$4.7 million in cash during the three months ended September 30, 20202021 compared to providing $1.2using $7.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The change in cash related to inventory during the three months ended September 30, 20202021 was primarily related to the difference in the amount and timing of orders and anticipated sales as compared to same period in the prior year. Changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided $6.6$0.3 million in cash during the three months ended September 30, 20202021 compared to providing $0.8$6.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.2020. The change in cash flow activity related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily due to the timing of inventory receipts and payments.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 20202021 was $1.5$18.3 million compared to $1.1$1.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for the change was due to increased capital equipment purchasesthe purchase of a new manufacturing and warehouse facility in Carlsbad, CA during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Capital expenditures duringfirst quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were primarily for manufacturing equipment used in our Vista, California and Manno, Switzerland facilities.2022.

 

Cash used inprovided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021, was $1.7$10.0 million, compared to $15,000$1.7 million used in the comparable prior year period. ThisThe difference is primarily due to increased repurchasesborrowings related to the purchase of our stock.new manufacturing and warehouse facility in Carlsbad, CA.  

 

At September 30, 20202021 we had $10.0 million due in connection with a term loan related to our loan facility.recently acquired manufacturing and warehouse facility and we also had a $20.0 million working capital line of credit available to us under which we have no borrowings outstanding. During the three months ending September 30, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2020,2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses material to investors.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 1, Note A. of this Report. Other than those pronouncements, we are not aware of any other pronouncements that materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020.2021. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above as of September 30, 2020.2021.

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, product liability, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we currently do not believe the resolution of these matters, even if unfavorable, will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes we do not expect. An unexpected settlement expense or an unexpected unfavorable outcome of a matter could adversely impact our results of operations.

 

As of November 10, 2020,9, 2021, neither NAI nor NAIE were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of our property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding. We are currently involved in several matters in the ordinary course of our business. 

 

There is no assurance NAI will prevail in these litigation matters or in similar proceedings NAI or others may initiate or that litigation expenses will not be greater than anticipated.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

When evaluating our business and future prospects you should carefully consider the risks described under Item 1A of our 20202021 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 20202021 Annual Report, this Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.

 

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the three month periods ended September 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019.2020.
