Accounting Policies | |
Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Foreign Currency Translation The U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency for all periods presented. The financial information for entities outside the United States is measured using the local currency as the functional currency. In consolidation, foreign transactions are remeasured into the functional currency, British Pounds, of our U.K. subsidiary. This non-cash remeasurement is included in foreign exchange gain or loss on the income statement. After this remeasurement, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustment is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Currency transaction gains and losses are recorded as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. Research and Development Expense For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our expenses for research and development were approximately $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Expenditures for research and development are expensed as they are incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets (other than goodwill and intangibles) by comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets against their respective carrying amounts. The amount of impairment, if any, is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are also required to be tested annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. We did not have intangible assets with indefinite lives or goodwill at any time during the two years ended September 30, 2022. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally three Leases as Lessee At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease. This includes arrangements with goods and services to determine if there is an embedded lease. An arrangement containing a lease would allow the Company the right to control an implicitly or explicitly identified asset. If there is a lease in an arrangement, the classification is determined at inception of the arrangement. Certain leases may contain transfer of ownership or an option to purchase the underlying asset. The most relevant criterion for our lease classification is transfer of ownership, which if included in the arrangement makes the lease a finance lease rather than an operating lease. The discount rate used to assess classification is the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date due to the implicit rate not being readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The lease term includes periods where we are reasonably certain we will exercise the renewal option. The Company has elected not to apply Subtopic ASC 842-25 Note 10 Leases Operating leases The Company has operating leases for office space, data centers, and other information technology equipment under various leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date using the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term. We do not have leases with variable consideration. The incremental borrowing rate is used in determining present value. Certain operating leases, primarily office space and IT equipment, have an option to extend the lease. Renewal periods related to certain lease agreements related to office buildings are included in the lease term for lease accounting. The Company has operating lease agreements with lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes, and insurance costs) as well as nonlease components (e.g. common-area maintenance, colocation services). The Company has elected to account for lease and nonlease components as one single lease component for all classes of assets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases The Company has finance leases for information technology equipment and subleases all this equipment (see Lessor section below for details). All finance leases transfer ownership to the Company, which meets the criterion to be a finance lease. Due to our finance leases being subleases, there are no finance right-of-use assets because instead there is a net investment in lease in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases as Lessor The Company is a lessor, but only as a sublessor. The process for identifying and classifying a lease is similar to the process described above in the lessee section. Additionally, the most relevant criteria to classification is transfer of ownership and present value of the total lease payments in relation to fair value of the underlying asset. The Company as a lessor has both sales-type and direct financing leases. The Company as a lessor does not have operating leases. All the Company’s sublease agreements are bundled agreements containing managed services, software, and other services. The fixed payments under bundled agreements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables are consistent with ASC 606. The allocation of the fixed payments may be calculated using a budgeted cost-plus margin approach if there are other services in addition to managed services. Due to the complex nature of these contracts, there is significant judgment in allocating the fixed payments. There is no variable consideration in these agreements. The discount rate used as a lessor pertaining to the lease component is the implicit rate. As sublessor, lease agreements contain an option to purchase the underlying asset or transfers ownership at the end of the lease. The leases typically do not have any residual value to the Company. In the Company’s sublessor agreements, the payments allocated to the lease component cannot be terminated. There were no new agreements where the Company was a lessor for the year ended September 30, 2022. See Note 10 Leases Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. The recoverability of inventories is based upon the types and levels of inventories held, forecasted demand, pricing, competition and changes in technology. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. As of September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the Company maintained inventory reserves of $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Property, Equipment and Improvements The components of property, equipment and improvements are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ( three Trade Accounts Receivable, Long Term Receivable, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at amounts that have been billed to customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded for the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on the length of time the receivables are past due, current business environment, and our historical experience. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Accounts receivable are charged off against the reserve when management has determined they are uncollectible. Within trade accounts receivable and long-term receivable are financing agreements with an original payment term of greater than one year. Interest income earned on these receivables is recognized using the effective interest method. See Note 3 Accounts and Long-Term Receivables Pension and Retirement Plans The funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses, prior service costs and credits and any remaining transition amounts that have not yet been recognized through pension expense will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic pension/postretirement benefits expense. Additionally, plan assets and obligations are measured as of our fiscal year-end balance sheet date (September 30). We have defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) and in the U.S. In the U.K. the Company provides defined benefit pension plans for certain employees and former employees and defined contribution plans for the majority of the employees. The defined benefit plan in the U.K. is closed to newly hired employees and has been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. In the U.S., the Company also provides defined contribution plans that cover most employees and supplementary retirement plans to certain employees and former employees who are now retired. These supplementary retirement plans are also closed to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. These supplementary plans are funded through whole life insurance policies. The Company expects to recover all insurance premiums paid under these policies in the future, through the cash surrender value of the policies and any death benefits or portions thereof to be paid upon the death of the participant. These whole life insurance policies are carried on the balance sheet at their cash surrender values as they are owned by the Company and not assets of the defined benefit plans. In the U.S., the Company also provides for officer death benefits and post-retirement health insurance benefits through supplemental post-retirement plans to certain officers. The Company also funds these supplemental plans’ obligations through whole life insurance policies on the officers. Pension expense is based on an actuarial computation of current future benefits using estimates for expected return on assets, expected compensation increases and applicable discount rates. Management has reviewed the discount rates and rates of return with our consulting actuaries and investment advisor and concluded they were reasonable. A decrease in the expected return on pension assets would increase pension expense. Expected compensation increases are estimated based on historical and expected increases in the future. Increases in estimated compensation increases would result in higher pension expense while decreases would lower pension expense. Discount rates are selected based upon rates of return on high quality fixed income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefit. A decrease in the discount rate would result in greater pension expense while an increase in the discount rate would decrease pension expense. The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the consolidated balance sheets. Segment Information We have two operating segments: (i) Technology Solutions ("TS") and (ii) High Performance Products ("HPP"). In the TS segment, we focus on value added reseller ("VAR") integrated solutions including third party hardware, software and technical computer-related consulting and managed services. In the HPP segment, we design, manufacture and deliver products and services to customers that require specialized cyber security services, networking and signal processing products. The operations and assets of our TS segment are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The operations and assets of our HPP segment are located in the United States. Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from the sale of integrated hardware and software, third-party service contracts, professional services, managed services, financing of hardware and software, and other services. We recognize revenue from hardware upon transfer of control, which is at a point in time typically upon shipment when title transfers. Revenue from software is recognized at a point in time when the license is granted. We recognize revenue from third-party service contracts as either gross sales or net sales depending on whether we are acting as a principal party to the transaction or acting as an agent or broker based on control and timing. We are a principal if we control the good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer. We record revenue as gross when we are a principal party to the arrangement and net of cost when we are acting as a broker or agent for a third party. Under gross sales recognition, the entire selling price is recorded in revenue and our cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded in cost of sales. Under net sales recognition, the cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded as a reduction to revenue resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction. Third-party service contracts are sold in different combinations with hardware, software, and services. When we are an agent, revenue is typically recorded at a point in time. When we are the principal, revenue is recognized over the contract term. We have concluded we are the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software or hardware support, and certain security software that is sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance that include critical updates. Professional services generally include implementation, installation, and training services. Professional services are considered a series of distinct services that form one performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time as services are performed. Revenue generated from managed services is recognized over the term of the contract. Certain managed services contracts include financing of hardware and software. Revenues from arrangements which include financing are allocated considering relative standalone selling prices of lease and non-lease components within the agreement. The lease component includes hardware, which is subject to ASC 842, Leases Revenue from Contracts with Customers Other services generally include revenue generated through our royalty, extended warranty, multicomputer repair, and maintenance contracts. Royalty revenue is sales-based and recognized on date of subsequent sale of the product, which occurs on the date of customer shipment. Revenue from extended warranty contracts is recognized ratably over the warranty period. Multicomputer repair services revenue is recognized upon control transfer when the customer takes possession of the computer at time of shipping. Revenue generated from maintenance services is recognized evenly over the term of the contract. The right of return risk lies with the original manufacturer of the product. Managed service contracts contain the right to refund if canceled within 30 days of inception. Any products with a standard warranty are treated as a warranty obligation under ASC 460, Guarantees. The following policies are applicable to our major categories of segment revenue transactions: TS Segment Revenue TS Segment revenue is derived from the sale of hardware, software, professional services, third-party service contracts, maintenance contracts, managed services, and financing of hardware and software. Financing revenue pertaining to the portion of an arrangement containing a lease is recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Financing revenue related to the lease is recorded in revenue as equipment leasing is part of our operations. Third-party service contracts are evaluated to determine whether such service revenue should be recorded as gross or net sales and whether over time or at point in time. HPP Segment Revenue HPP segment revenue is derived from the sale of integrated hardware and software, maintenance, and other services through the Multicomputer, Myricom, and ARIA product lines. Myricom revenue is derived from the sale of products, which are comprised of both hardware and embedded software which is essential to the products’ functionality, and post contract maintenance and support. Post contract maintenance and support is considered immaterial in the context of the contract and therefore is not a separate performance obligation. Multicomputer revenue is derived from the sale of hardware, software, extended warranties, royalties, and repair services. See disaggregated revenues below by products/services and geography.

When we have the right to bill a customer, accounts receivable is recorded as an unconditional right exists. Current contract assets were $4.4 million and $2.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The current portion is recorded in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no noncurrent contract assets as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The difference in the balances is due to regular timing differences between when work is performed and having an unconditional right to payment. Contract liabilities arise when payment is received before we transfer a good or service to the customer. Current contract liabilities were $1.9 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The current portion of contract liabilities is recorded in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no long-term contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022. The long-term portion of contract liabilities was $0.4 million as of September 30, 2021. These noncurrent liabilities are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the year ended September 30, 2022 that was included in contract liabilities as of September 30, 2021 was $1.7 million. Contract Costs Incremental costs of obtaining a contract involving customer transactions where the revenue and the related transfer of goods and services are equal to or less than a one year period, are expensed as incurred, utilizing the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 three Current capitalized contract costs are within the other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and 2021. The portion of current capitalized costs were $128 thousand and $137 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were no noncurrent capitalized costs on the consolidated balance sheets as these commissions are paid annually even when the contract extends beyond a one year period. The amount of incremental costs amortized for the year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $366 thousand and $442 thousand, respectively. This is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. There was no impairment related to incremental costs capitalized for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when the costs are related to a contract or anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and costs are recoverable. Costs to fulfill a contract are related to the TS portion of the business and involve activities performed before managed services can be completed. Current capitalized fulfillment costs are in the other current assets and noncurrent costs are in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of current capitalized costs were $9 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and $13 thousand as of September 30, 2021. There were no noncurrent capitalized costs as of September 30, 2022. The portion of noncurrent capitalized costs was $9 thousand as of September 30, 2021. The amount of fulfillment costs amortized year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $13 thousand and $13 thousand, respectively. These costs amortized were recorded in cost of sales. There was no impairment related to fulfillment costs capitalized for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other Projects are typically billed upon completion or at certain milestones. Product and services are typically billed when shipped or as services are being performed. Payment terms are typically 30 days to pay in full except in Europe where it could be up to 90 days. Most of our contracts are less than one year. There are certain contracts that contain a financing component. See Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies We have certain contracts that have an original term of more than one year. The royalty agreement is longer than one year, but not included in the table below as the royalties are sales-based. Managed service contracts are generally longer than one year. For these contracts the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2022 is set forth in the table below: (Amounts in thousands) Fiscal 2023 670 Fiscal 2024 61 $ 731 Product Warranty Accrual Our product sales generally include a hardware warranty which ranges from 90 three-years Note 11 Product Warranties Engineering and Development Expenses Engineering and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Engineering and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs. We consider technological feasibility for our software products to be reached upon the release of the software, accordingly, no internal software development costs have been capitalized. Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We also reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. This methodology requires estimates and judgments in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and in the calculation of certain tax liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded against the gross deferred tax assets that management believes, after considering all available positive and negative objective evidence, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. In addition, we are required to recognize in the consolidated financial statements, those tax positions determined to be more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the position are recognized. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. The Company records liabilities for estimated tax obligations in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions. These estimated tax liabilities include the provision for taxes that may become payable in the future. Earnings per Share of Common Stock Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing net income by the assumed weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We are required to present earnings per share ("EPS") utilizing the two-class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities. Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows: Year ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 Net income from continuing operations $ 1,889 $ 234 Net income from sale of discontinued operations — 465 Net income 1,889 699 Less: net income attributable to nonvested common stock 100 33 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 1,789 $ 666 Net income attributable to common shareholders from continuing operations $ 1,789 $ 223 Net income attributable to common shareholders from discontinued operations — 443 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 1,789 $ 666 Weighted average total common shares outstanding – basic 4,498 4,356 Less: weighted average non–vested shares outstanding (237) (205) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic 4,261 4,151 Add: potential common shares from non–vested stock awards and the assumed exercise of stock options 17 69 Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted 4,278 4,220 Net income from continuing operations per common share - basic $ 0.42 $ 0.05 Net income from discontinued operations per common share - basic $ — $ 0.11 Net income per common share - basic $ 0.42 $ 0.16 Net income from continuing operations per common share - diluted $ 0.42 $ 0.05 Net income from discontinued operations per common share - diluted $ — $ 0.11 Net income per common share - diluted $ 0.42 $ 0.16 All anti-dilutive securities, including stock options, are excluded from the diluted income per share computation. Non-vested restricted stock awards of 170,600 shares were excluded from net income per share for the year ended September 30, 2022, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Non-vested restricted stock awards of 136,000 shares were excluded from net income per share for the year ended September 30, 2021, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Stock-Based Compensation We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options and nonvested shares of restricted common stock based on estimated fair values of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option grants. The fair value of nonvested restricted share awards is equal to the quoted market price of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. The fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Because stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures and will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of options and restricted stock granted pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive and employee stock purchase plans of approximately $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions in the U.S. and the U.K. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. We had one customer who totaled approximately $15.8 million, or 52%, and approximately $16.2 million, or 62%, of total consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. We believe that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to the accounts receivab |

Accounts and Long-Term Receivable | 3. Accounts and Long-Term Receivable Within accounts receivable and long-term receivable there are amounts due reflecting sales whose payment terms exceed one year. This financing is separate from agreements with a leasing component, see Note 10 Leases There is not an allowance for credit losses nor impairments for accounts and long-term receivables with a contractual maturity of over one year. All accounts had no past amounts due as of September 30, 2022 or 2021, respectively. There was no activity in the allowance for credit losses of these receivables for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. All these agreements are looked at as one portfolio in determining credit losses. There are various factors that are considered in extending a customer payment terms longer than one year including payment history, economic conditions, and capacity to pay. The credit quality of customers is monitored by payment activity. The unearned income represents a rate similar to market at the inception of the agreement. The amount of interest income earned from sales whose payment terms exceed one year for the year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $548 thousand and $547 thousand, respectively. Interest income from these agreements is recorded in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was one new agreement effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 causing an increase in Accounts and Long-term receivable. This agreement included approximately $0.5 million of payments to be received over the next 2 years from the effective date of the agreement. The revenue for this transaction was recorded net during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. There was one new agreement effective in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 causing an increase in Accounts and Long-term receivable. This agreement included approximately $0.8 million of payments to be received over the next 3 years from the effective date of the agreement. The revenue for this transaction was recorded net during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. There was one new agreement effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 causing an increase in Accounts and Long-term receivable. This agreement included approximately $12.8 million of payments to be received over the next 2 years from the effective date of the agreement. The revenue for this transaction was recorded net during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Receivables whose payment terms exceed one year are placed on nonaccrual status, meaning interest income stops being recorded, when the customer has a past due amount in excess of 30 days or reasonable doubt exists in collecting all interest and principal. A payment due in excess of 30 days is considered delinquent. If a payment is received for a receivable on nonaccrual status the payment is first applied to interest and then principal. Recording interest income resumes once no reasonable doubt exists regarding collecting all interest and principal. Contractual maturities of outstanding financing receivables with an original contractual maturity over one year are as follows: Fiscal year ending September 30: (Amounts in thousands) 2023 $ 9,527 2024 6,106 2025 1,560 Total payments $ 17,193 Less: unearned interest income (865) Total, net of unearned interest income $ 16,328 |

We are dependent on key vendors such as ADP, NXP, and BCRM for a variety of processors for certain products. We are dependent NVIDIA for our high-speed interconnect components and Marvel for Myricom components. Despite our dependence on these sole-source suppliers, based on our current forecast and our projected sales obligations, we believe we have adequate inventory on hand and our current near-term requirements can be met in the existing supply chain. COVID-19 has adversely affected the distribution channel leading to significantly longer lead times when ordering product. Manufacturers are not producing as much product as prior to the pandemic due to disruptions, resulting in supply shortages. Additionally, recent global shipping delays have exacerbated this problem. The TS segment has many vendors it transacts with and supply shortages are pervasive with many of them. |

In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider taxable income in prior carryback years, as permitted under the tax law, our forecasted taxable earnings, tax planning strategies, and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences. This determination requires significant judgment, including assumptions about future taxable income that are based on historical and projected information and is performed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets decreased by approximately $305 thousand during fiscal year 2022. During the year ended September 30, 2022, management assessed the positive and negative evidence in the U.S. operations and concluded that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 will not be realized in light of recent results, the ongoing effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and the resulting economic fallout. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.K. deferred tax assets as we have experienced cumulative losses and do not have any indication that the operation will be profitable in the future to an extent that will allow us to utilize much of our net operating loss carryforwards. To the extent that actual experience deviates from our assumptions, our projections would be affected and hence our assessment of realizability of our deferred tax assets may change. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of approximately $162 thousand. There were no U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company had U.S. tax credit carryforwards for federal purposes of $884 thousand and $753 thousand, respectively. The U.S. tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in the Company's fiscal year 2038. The fiscal year 2022 federal R&D credit and all carried forward credits will be used to offset future tax liabilities. As of September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for state purposes of approximately $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income through fiscal year 2042. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had state tax credit carryforwards of $1.1 million available to reduce future state tax expense, of which $50 thousand has unlimited carryover status and the remainder of the credits are available through fiscal year 2035. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14.2 million that have an indefinite life with no expiration. Subsequent to September 30, 2022 approximately 3.5 million U.S. Dollars was transferred from the foreign subsidiary in the U.K. to Modcomp, Inc. (TS-US) to use in operations. Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $6.1 million and $7.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company is considering cash distribution of undistributed foreign earnings in the future and will continue to assess the potential impact of any future distributions on U.S. taxes. The state tax impact of a distribution of foreign earnings and profits would not be material. In addition, the calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. The Company records liabilities for estimated tax obligations in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions. These estimated tax liabilities include the provision for taxes that may become payable in the future. As of September 30, 2022, the total amount of uncertain tax liabilities relates to state tax credit carryforwards and are all recorded net in deferred taxes. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: For the Year Ended For the Year Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 (Amounts in thousands) Balance, beginning of year $ 433 $ 343 Additions for tax positions of current year 68 60 Additions for tax positions of prior years 1 30 Balance, end of period $ 502 $ 433 We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has reviewed the tax positions taken on returns filed domestically and in its foreign jurisdictions for all open years, generally fiscal 2019 through 2022, and believes that tax adjustments in any audited year will not be material. |

See Note 3 Accounts and Long-Term Receivable There was not an interest rate stated in the agreements and therefore interest was imputed under ASC 835 Interest Interest expense related to these agreements was $260 thousand and $190 thousand for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amounts owed for these agreements are within accounts payable and other noncurrent liabilities because they are owed to a vendor rather than banks or financial institutions for borrowings. See Note 12 Line of Credit Note 13 Notes Payable Below are details of the aforementioned agreements with the vendors that contain imputed interest: September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 (Amounts in thousands) Current $ 1,758 $ 1,627 Less: discount 184 247 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 1,574 $ 1,380 Noncurrent $ 3,186 $ 4,682 Less: discount 138 315 Other noncurrent liabilities $ 3,048 $ 4,367 The Company had a total of approximately $16.1 million due (net of interest) to one of these vendors as of September 30, 2022. This is approximately 63% of Accounts payable and other noncurrent liabilities. The majority of this balance involves one large transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Company had a total of approximately $7.8 million due (net of interest) to one of these vendors as of September 30, 2021. This is approximately 41% of Accounts payable and other noncurrent liabilities.The TS segment has many vendors it transacts with and does not have any specific agreement with this vendor that it must purchase certain products from the vendor. Management believes other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms. |

Line of Credit | 12. Line of Credit As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company maintained an inventory line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $15.0 million. It may be used by the TS or HPP segment in the U.S. to purchase inventory from approved vendors with payment terms which exceed those offered by the vendors. No interest accrues under the inventory line of credit when advances are paid within terms, however, late payments are subject to an interest charge of the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” plus 5%. The prime rate was 6.25% as of September 30, 2022. There is no expiration date or minimum principal payment. However, the credit agreement for the inventory line of credit contains financial covenants which require the Company to maintain the following TS segment-specific financial ratios: (1) a minimum current ratio of 1.2, (2) tangible net worth of no less than $4.0 million, and (3) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to total net worth of less than 5.0:1. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, Company borrowings, all from the TS segment, under the inventory line of credit were $3.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants. There is no unused commitment fee. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, this line of credit also included availability of a limited cash withdrawal option of up to $1.0 million. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no cash withdrawals outstanding. |

Notes Payable | 13. Notes Payable In September 2019, the Company borrowed $1.0 million with a 5.0% rate of interest related to a multi-year agreement with a customer. See Note 3 Accounts and Long-Term Receivable In October 2019, the Company borrowed $2.0 million with a 5.1% rate of interest related to a multi-year agreement with a customer. This is the only note payable outstanding as of September 30, 2022. On April 17, 2021, CSP, Inc. and Modcomp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Borrowers”) each received a loan in the form of a promissory note from Paragon Bank (“Lender”) in the amounts of $827,000 and $1,353,600, respectively (the “SBA Loans”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The SBA Loans have a two-year term and carry an annual fixed interest rate of 1%. The SBA Loans provided for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, materially false or misleading representations to Lender or SBA, and adverse changes in the financial condition or business operations that Lender believed could materially affect Borrowers’ ability to pay the SBA Loans. The Borrowers did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the SBA Loans and the Borrowers could prepay the principal of the SBA Loans at any time without penalty. The Borrowers applied to the Lender for forgiveness of an amount due on the SBA Loans in an amount equal to the sum of certain costs during the 24 week period beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the SBA Loans. The amount of SBA Loans forgiveness was calculated in accordance with the requirements of the PPP, including provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act. We used the SBA Loans proceeds in accordance with the applicable SBA guidelines. In November 2021 the SBA Loans were formally forgiven. The $2.2 million gain is presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Gain on forgiveness of debt for the year ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense related to the notes for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $50 thousand and $87 thousand, respectively. Below are details of the notes payable.

Pension and Retirement Plans | 14. Pension and Retirement Plans We have defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the U.K. and in the U.S. In the U.K., the Company provides defined benefit pension plans for certain employees and former employees and defined contribution plans for the majority of the employees. The defined benefit plans in the U.K. are frozen to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. In the U.S., the Company also provides defined contribution plans that cover most employees and supplementary retirement plans to certain employees and former employees who are now retired. These supplementary retirement plans are also closed to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. These supplementary plans are funded through whole life insurance policies. The Company expects to recover all insurance premiums paid under these policies in the future, through the cash surrender value of the policies and any death benefits or portions thereof to be paid upon the death of the participant. These whole life insurance policies are carried on the balance sheet at their cash surrender values as they are owned by the Company and not assets of the defined benefit plans. In the U.S., the Company also provides for officer death benefits and post-retirement health insurance benefits through supplemental post-retirement plans to certain officers. The Company also funds these supplemental plans’ obligations through whole life insurance policies on the officers. A gain on a life insurance policy of $0.1 million occurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. The gain on this life insurance policy was not related to a current employee at time of expiration. The Company received $322 thousand from the life insurance policy during Q3 of fiscal year 2022. Additionally, during the fiscal third quarter management made the decision to pay back approximately $0.9 million of insurance policy loans. Defined Benefit Plans The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the consolidated balance sheets. The domestic supplemental retirement plans have life insurance policies which are not considered plan assets but were purchased by the Company as a vehicle to fund the costs of the plan. These insurance policies are included in the balance sheet at their cash surrender value, net of policy loans, aggregating $3.5 million and $2.6 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The loans against the policies have been taken out by the Company to pay the premiums. The costs and benefit payments for these plans are paid through operating cash flows of the Company to the extent that they cannot be funded through the use of the cash values in the insurance policies. The Company expects that the recorded value of the insurance policies will be sufficient to fund all of the Company’s obligations under these plans. Assumptions: The following table provides the weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations at: Domestic International September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Discount rate: 5.14 % 2.75 % 5.2 % 2.00 % Expected return on plan assets: 6.0 % 4.00 % The following table provides the weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended: Domestic International September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Discount rate: 2.75 % 2.50 % 5.2 % 2.0 % Expected return on plan assets: 6.0 % 4.0 % For domestic plans, the discount rate was determined by comparison against the FTSE pension liability index for AA rated corporate instruments. The Company monitors other indices to assure that the pension obligations are fairly reported on a consistent basis. The international discount rates were determined by comparison against country specific AA corporate indices, adjusted for duration of the obligation. The periodic benefit cost and the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations are based on actuarial assumptions that are reviewed on an annual basis. The Company revises these assumptions based on an annual evaluation of long-term trends, as well as market conditions that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits. The components of net periodic benefit costs related to the U.S. and international plans are as follows: Year ended September 30, 2022 2021 U.K. U.S. Total U.K. U.S. Total (Amounts in thousands) Pension: Interest cost $ 268 $ 11 $ 279 $ 243 $ 11 $ 254 Expected return on plan assets (449) — (449) (398) — (398) Amortization of past service costs 7 — 7 7 — 7 Amortization of net loss 97 1 98 181 4 185 Net periodic (benefit) cost $ (77) $ 12 $ (65) $ 33 $ 15 $ 48 Post Retirement: Service cost $ — $ 44 $ 44 $ — $ 45 $ 45 Interest cost — 46 46 — 42 42 Amortization of net (gain) loss — (7) (7) — 50 50 Net periodic cost $ — $ 83 $ 83 $ — $ 137 $ 137 Pension: Decrease in minimum liability included in other comprehensive income $ (3,509) (20) $ (3,529) $ (1,794) (8) $ (1,802) Post Retirement: Decrease in minimum liability included in other comprehensive income — (567) (567) — (170) (170) Total: Decrease in minimum liability included in other comprehensive income $ (3,509) $ (587) $ (4,096) $ (1,794) $ (178) $ (1,972) The following table presents an analysis of the changes in 2022 and 2021 of the benefit obligation, the plan assets and the funded status of the plans: Years Ended September 30 2022 2021 Foreign U.S. Total Foreign U.S. Total (Amounts in thousands) Pension: Change in projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) Balance beginning of year $ 14,317 $ 339 $ 14,656 $ 14,403 $ 426 $ 14,829 Interest cost 268 11 279 243 11 254 Changes in actuarial assumptions (4,574) (21) (4,595) (658) (6) (664) Foreign exchange impact (1,873) — (1,873) 670 — 670 Benefits paid (412) (68) (480) (341) (92) (433) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 7,726 $ 261 $ 7,987 $ 14,317 $ 339 $ 14,656 Changes in fair value of plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 11,921 $ — $ 11,921 $ 9,740 $ — $ 9,740 Actual (loss) gain on plan assets (1,026) — (1,026) 1,655 — 1,655 Company contributions 253 68 321 457 92 549 Foreign exchange impact (1,911) — (1,911) 410 — 410 Benefits paid (412) (68) (480) (341) (92) (433) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 8,825 $ — $ 8,825 $ 11,921 $ — $ 11,921 Funded status \ net amount recognized $ 1,099 $ (261) $ 838 $ (2,396) $ (339) $ (2,735) Post Retirement: Change in projected benefit obligation (“PBO”): Balance beginning of year $ — $ 1,670 $ 1,670 $ — $ 1,703 $ 1,703 Service cost — 44 44 — 45 45 Interest cost — 46 46 — 42 42 Changes in actuarial assumptions — (574) (574) — (120) (120) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ — $ 1,186 $ 1,186 $ — $ 1,670 $ 1,670 Funded status \ net amount recognized $ — $ (1,186) $ (1,186) $ — $ (1,670) $ (1,670) The amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet consist of: Years Ended September 30 2022 2021 Foreign U.S. Total Foreign U.S. Total (Amounts in thousands) Pension: Accrued benefit asset (liability) $ 1,099 $ (261) $ 838 $ (2,396) $ (339) $ (2,735) Deferred tax — 25 25 — 17 17 Accumulated other comprehensive income 631 9 640 4,140 21 4,161 Net amount recognized $ 1,730 $ (227) $ 1,503 $ 1,744 $ (301) $ 1,443 Post Retirement: Accrued benefit liability $ — $ (1,186) $ (1,186) $ — $ (1,670) $ (1,670) Deferred tax — 305 305 — 78 78 Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income — (282) (282) — 57 57 Net amount recognized $ — $ (1,163) $ (1,163) $ — $ (1,535) $ (1,535) Total pension and post retirement: Accrued benefit asset (liability) $ 1,099 $ (1,447) $ (348) $ (2,396) $ (2,009) $ (4,405) Deferred tax — 330 330 — 95 95 Accumulated other comprehensive income 631 (273) 358 4,140 78 4,218 Net amount recognized $ 1,730 $ (1,390) $ 340 $ 1,744 $ (1,836) $ (92) Accumulated Benefit Obligation: Pension $ (7,726) $ (261) $ (7,987) $ (14,317) $ (339) $ (14,656) Post Retirement — (1,186) (1,186) — (1,670) (1,670) Total accumulated benefit obligation $ (7,726) $ (1,447) $ (9,173) $ (14,317) $ (2,009) $ (16,326) Plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets are attributable to unfunded domestic supplemental retirement plans, and our U.K. retirement plan. Accrued benefit liability reported as: September 30, 2022 2021 (Amounts in thousands) Non-current benefits assets $ 1,099 $ — Current accrued benefit liability $ 110 $ 308 Non-current accrued benefit liability 1,337 4,097 Total accrued benefit liability $ 1,447 $ 4,405 As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, consisted of deferred net losses totaling approximately $0.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The amount of net deferred loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2022, is approximately $191 thousand. The assumed discount rate used for the calculation of the projected benefit obligation more than doubled causing a large decrease. Additionally, the expected return on plan assets increased significantly, which cause the net pension liability to decrease. Contributions The Company expects to contribute $0.2 million to its pension plans for fiscal 2023. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid (amounts in thousands): Fiscal year ending September 30: (Amounts in thousands) 2023 $ 473 2024 $ 515 2025 $ 538 2026 $ 571 2027 $ 602 Thereafter $ 1,085 Plan Assets At September 30, 2022, our pension plan in the U.K. was the only plan with assets, holding investments of approximately $8.8 million. Pension plan assets are managed by a fiduciary committee. The Company’s investment strategy for pension plan assets is to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets within an acceptable level of risk while maintaining adequate funding levels. Local regulations, local funding rules, and local financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment process. In deciding on the investments to be held, the trustees take into account the risk of possible fluctuations in income from, and market values of, the assets as well as the risk of departing from an asset profile which broadly matches the liability profile. The committee has invested the plan assets in a single pooled fund with an authorized investment company (the “Fund”). The Fund selected by the trustees is consistent with the plan’s overall investment principles and strategy described herein. There are no specific targets as to asset allocation other than those contained within the Fund that is managed by the authorized investment company. The fair value of the assets held by the U.K. pension plan by asset category are as follows: Fair Values as of September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Asset Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Amounts in thousands) Cash on deposit $ 27 $ 27 $ — $ — $ 93 $ 93 $ — $ — Pooled funds 8,798 5,513 3,285 — 11,828 7,747 4,081 — Total plan assets $ 8,825 $ 5,540 $ 3,285 $ — $ 11,921 $ 7,840 $ 4,081 $ — The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are equal to the yields to maturity of appropriate indices for government and corporate bonds and by adding a premium to the government bond return for equities. The expected rate of return on cash is the Bank of England base rate in force at the effective date. Level 1 investments represent mutual funds for which a quoted market price is available on an active market. These investments primarily hold stocks or bonds, or a combination of stocks and bonds. Level 2 investment represents a mutual fund, which a quoted market price is not available on an active market. Significant observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets are used. This investment primarily holds stocks within developed global equity markets, excluding the UK. Defined Contribution Plans The Company has defined contribution plans in domestic and international locations under which the Company matches a portion of the employee’s contributions and may make discretionary contributions to the plans. The Company’s contributions were $193 thousand and $174 thousand for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |

Stock Based Incentive Compensation | 15. Stock Based Incentive Compensation In 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") and authorized 300,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Plan. During 2019 an additional 300,000 shares of common stock were authorized to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Plan. During 2022 an additional 400,000 shares of common stock were authorized to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Plan. As of September 30, 2022, there were 388,576 shares available to be granted under the 2015 Plan. Under all of the stock incentive plans, both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to officers, key employees and other persons providing services to the Company. All of the Company’s stock incentive plans have a ten-year life. Awards issued under any of the stock option plans are not affected by termination of the plan. The Company issues stock options at their fair value on the date of grant. Vesting of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans is determined by the Company’s compensation committee. Generally, options granted to employees vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors have historically included cliff vesting after six months from the date of grant and expire three years from the date of grant. In fiscal years 2016 through 2022, the Company granted certain officers including its Chief Executive Officer and non-employee directors, and key employees shares of nonvested common stock instead of stock options. The vesting period for the officers’ and the Chief Executive Officer’s restricted stock awards are four years. The vesting for non-employee directors’ restricted stock awards is one year. The vesting period for the key employees’ restricted stock awards is four years or immediately. We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and awards of nonvested stock based on estimated fair values, as described in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations: Years Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 (Amounts in thousands) Cost of sales $ — $ 5 Engineering and development 56 38 Selling, general and administrative 923 938 Total $ 979 $ 981 For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 80,246 nonvested shares to certain key employees, 52,000 nonvested shares to certain officers including 38,000 shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer, and 20,000 nonvested shares to its non-employee directors. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 42,457 nonvested shares to certain key employees, 41,000 nonvested shares to certain officers including 30,000 shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer, and 20,000 nonvested shares to its non-employee directors. The Company measures the fair value of nonvested stock awards based upon the market price of its common stock as of the date of grant. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value stock options. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate and the weighted average expected life of the options, at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is equal to the dividend per share historically declared, divided by the closing share price on the date the options were granted. All equity compensation awards granted for the years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were nonvested stock awards. There were no stock options granted for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, expense for grants beginning upon adoption on October 1, 2005 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The forfeiture rates for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were based on actual forfeitures. No cash was used to settle equity instruments granted under share-base payment arrangements in any of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2022.

This cost is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of approximately 2.56 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. |

Employee Stock Purchase Plan | 16. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In December 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan covering up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the "ESPP"), which was ratified by a vote of the Company’s shareholders in February 2014. Under the ESPP, the Company’s employees may purchase shares of common stock at a price per share that is currently 95% of the lesser of the fair value as of the beginning or end of semi-annual option periods. Pursuant to the ESPP, the Company issued 31,372 and 32,939 shares for the years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, 420 shares remain authorized to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. |

Fair Value Disclosures | |
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities | 19. Fair Value Disclosures Under the fair value standards fair value is based on the exit price and defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement should reflect all the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy is established in the authoritative guidance outlined in three levels ranking from Level 1 to level 3 with Level 1 being the highest priority. Level 1: observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly Level 3: unobservable inputs (e.g., a reporting entity’s or other entity’s own data) The Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring (except our pension plan assets, see Note 14 Pension and Retirement Plan To estimate fair value of the financial instruments below quoted market prices are used when available and classified within Level 1. If this data is not available, we use observable market-based inputs to estimate fair value, which are classified within Level 2. If the preceding information is unavailable, we use internally generated data to estimate fair value which is classified within Level 3. As of September 30, 2022 As of September 30, 2021 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Fair Value Level Reference (Amounts in thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 23,982 $ 23,982 $ 20,007 $ 20,007 1 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Accounts and long-term receivable* 16,328 16,328 13,968 13,968 3 Note 3 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities* 4,622 4,622 5,747 5,747 3 Note 9 Line of Credit 3,124 3,124 941 941 2 Note 12 Notes payable 876 876 1,633 1,633 3 Note 13 *Original maturity over one year Cash and cash equivalents Carrying amount approximated fair value. Accounts and long-term receivable with original maturity over one year Fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows based on the current rate with similar terms. Line of credit The fair value of our line of credit is based on borrowing rates currently available to a market participant for loans with similar terms or maturity. The carrying amount of our outstanding revolving line of credit approximates fair value because the base interest rate charged varies with market conditions and the credit spread is commensurate with current market spreads for issuers of similar risk. No interest accrues under the inventory line of credit when advances are paid within terms. Notes Payable Fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows based on the current rate the Company could get in another transaction with similar terms based on historical information. Fair value of accounts receivable with an original maturity of one year or less and accounts payable was not materially different from their carrying values at September 30, 2022, and 2021. |

The revenue for this transaction was recorded net during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Our cost for this agreement was originally going to be paid in full in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022 as stated in our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2022. However, our payment to the vendor was made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which significantly decreased our cash balance. |

Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency for all periods presented. The financial information for entities outside the United States is measured using the local currency as the functional currency. In consolidation, foreign transactions are remeasured into the functional currency, British Pounds, of our U.K. subsidiary. This non-cash remeasurement is included in foreign exchange gain or loss on the income statement. After this remeasurement, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustment is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Currency transaction gains and losses are recorded as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. |
Research and Development Expense | Research and Development Expense For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our expenses for research and development were approximately $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Expenditures for research and development are expensed as they are incurred. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets (other than goodwill and intangibles) by comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets against their respective carrying amounts. The amount of impairment, if any, is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are also required to be tested annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. We did not have intangible assets with indefinite lives or goodwill at any time during the two years ended September 30, 2022. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally three |
Leases as Lessee | Leases as Lessee At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease. This includes arrangements with goods and services to determine if there is an embedded lease. An arrangement containing a lease would allow the Company the right to control an implicitly or explicitly identified asset. If there is a lease in an arrangement, the classification is determined at inception of the arrangement. Certain leases may contain transfer of ownership or an option to purchase the underlying asset. The most relevant criterion for our lease classification is transfer of ownership, which if included in the arrangement makes the lease a finance lease rather than an operating lease. The discount rate used to assess classification is the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date due to the implicit rate not being readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The lease term includes periods where we are reasonably certain we will exercise the renewal option. The Company has elected not to apply Subtopic ASC 842-25 Note 10 Leases Operating leases The Company has operating leases for office space, data centers, and other information technology equipment under various leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date using the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term. We do not have leases with variable consideration. The incremental borrowing rate is used in determining present value. Certain operating leases, primarily office space and IT equipment, have an option to extend the lease. Renewal periods related to certain lease agreements related to office buildings are included in the lease term for lease accounting. The Company has operating lease agreements with lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes, and insurance costs) as well as nonlease components (e.g. common-area maintenance, colocation services). The Company has elected to account for lease and nonlease components as one single lease component for all classes of assets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases The Company has finance leases for information technology equipment and subleases all this equipment (see Lessor section below for details). All finance leases transfer ownership to the Company, which meets the criterion to be a finance lease. Due to our finance leases being subleases, there are no finance right-of-use assets because instead there is a net investment in lease in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Leases as Lessor | Leases as Lessor The Company is a lessor, but only as a sublessor. The process for identifying and classifying a lease is similar to the process described above in the lessee section. Additionally, the most relevant criteria to classification is transfer of ownership and present value of the total lease payments in relation to fair value of the underlying asset. The Company as a lessor has both sales-type and direct financing leases. The Company as a lessor does not have operating leases. All the Company’s sublease agreements are bundled agreements containing managed services, software, and other services. The fixed payments under bundled agreements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables are consistent with ASC 606. The allocation of the fixed payments may be calculated using a budgeted cost-plus margin approach if there are other services in addition to managed services. Due to the complex nature of these contracts, there is significant judgment in allocating the fixed payments. There is no variable consideration in these agreements. The discount rate used as a lessor pertaining to the lease component is the implicit rate. As sublessor, lease agreements contain an option to purchase the underlying asset or transfers ownership at the end of the lease. The leases typically do not have any residual value to the Company. In the Company’s sublessor agreements, the payments allocated to the lease component cannot be terminated. There were no new agreements where the Company was a lessor for the year ended September 30, 2022. See Note 10 Leases |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. The recoverability of inventories is based upon the types and levels of inventories held, forecasted demand, pricing, competition and changes in technology. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. As of September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the Company maintained inventory reserves of $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. |
Property, Equipment and Improvements | Property, Equipment and Improvements The components of property, equipment and improvements are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ( three |
Trade Accounts Receivable, Long Term Receivable, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Trade Accounts Receivable, Long Term Receivable, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at amounts that have been billed to customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded for the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on the length of time the receivables are past due, current business environment, and our historical experience. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Accounts receivable are charged off against the reserve when management has determined they are uncollectible. Within trade accounts receivable and long-term receivable are financing agreements with an original payment term of greater than one year. Interest income earned on these receivables is recognized using the effective interest method. See Note 3 Accounts and Long-Term Receivables |
Pension and Retirement Plans | Pension and Retirement Plans The funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses, prior service costs and credits and any remaining transition amounts that have not yet been recognized through pension expense will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic pension/postretirement benefits expense. Additionally, plan assets and obligations are measured as of our fiscal year-end balance sheet date (September 30). We have defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) and in the U.S. In the U.K. the Company provides defined benefit pension plans for certain employees and former employees and defined contribution plans for the majority of the employees. The defined benefit plan in the U.K. is closed to newly hired employees and has been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. In the U.S., the Company also provides defined contribution plans that cover most employees and supplementary retirement plans to certain employees and former employees who are now retired. These supplementary retirement plans are also closed to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2022. These supplementary plans are funded through whole life insurance policies. The Company expects to recover all insurance premiums paid under these policies in the future, through the cash surrender value of the policies and any death benefits or portions thereof to be paid upon the death of the participant. These whole life insurance policies are carried on the balance sheet at their cash surrender values as they are owned by the Company and not assets of the defined benefit plans. In the U.S., the Company also provides for officer death benefits and post-retirement health insurance benefits through supplemental post-retirement plans to certain officers. The Company also funds these supplemental plans’ obligations through whole life insurance policies on the officers. Pension expense is based on an actuarial computation of current future benefits using estimates for expected return on assets, expected compensation increases and applicable discount rates. Management has reviewed the discount rates and rates of return with our consulting actuaries and investment advisor and concluded they were reasonable. A decrease in the expected return on pension assets would increase pension expense. Expected compensation increases are estimated based on historical and expected increases in the future. Increases in estimated compensation increases would result in higher pension expense while decreases would lower pension expense. Discount rates are selected based upon rates of return on high quality fixed income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefit. A decrease in the discount rate would result in greater pension expense while an increase in the discount rate would decrease pension expense. The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Segment Information | Segment Information We have two operating segments: (i) Technology Solutions ("TS") and (ii) High Performance Products ("HPP"). In the TS segment, we focus on value added reseller ("VAR") integrated solutions including third party hardware, software and technical computer-related consulting and managed services. In the HPP segment, we design, manufacture and deliver products and services to customers that require specialized cyber security services, networking and signal processing products. The operations and assets of our TS segment are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The operations and assets of our HPP segment are located in the United States. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from the sale of integrated hardware and software, third-party service contracts, professional services, managed services, financing of hardware and software, and other services. We recognize revenue from hardware upon transfer of control, which is at a point in time typically upon shipment when title transfers. Revenue from software is recognized at a point in time when the license is granted. We recognize revenue from third-party service contracts as either gross sales or net sales depending on whether we are acting as a principal party to the transaction or acting as an agent or broker based on control and timing. We are a principal if we control the good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer. We record revenue as gross when we are a principal party to the arrangement and net of cost when we are acting as a broker or agent for a third party. Under gross sales recognition, the entire selling price is recorded in revenue and our cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded in cost of sales. Under net sales recognition, the cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded as a reduction to revenue resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction. Third-party service contracts are sold in different combinations with hardware, software, and services. When we are an agent, revenue is typically recorded at a point in time. When we are the principal, revenue is recognized over the contract term. We have concluded we are the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software or hardware support, and certain security software that is sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance that include critical updates. Professional services generally include implementation, installation, and training services. Professional services are considered a series of distinct services that form one performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time as services are performed. Revenue generated from managed services is recognized over the term of the contract. Certain managed services contracts include financing of hardware and software. Revenues from arrangements which include financing are allocated considering relative standalone selling prices of lease and non-lease components within the agreement. The lease component includes hardware, which is subject to ASC 842, Leases Revenue from Contracts with Customers Other services generally include revenue generated through our royalty, extended warranty, multicomputer repair, and maintenance contracts. Royalty revenue is sales-based and recognized on date of subsequent sale of the product, which occurs on the date of customer shipment. Revenue from extended warranty contracts is recognized ratably over the warranty period. Multicomputer repair services revenue is recognized upon control transfer when the customer takes possession of the computer at time of shipping. Revenue generated from maintenance services is recognized evenly over the term of the contract. The right of return risk lies with the original manufacturer of the product. Managed service contracts contain the right to refund if canceled within 30 days of inception. Any products with a standard warranty are treated as a warranty obligation under ASC 460, Guarantees. The following policies are applicable to our major categories of segment revenue transactions: TS Segment Revenue TS Segment revenue is derived from the sale of hardware, software, professional services, third-party service contracts, maintenance contracts, managed services, and financing of hardware and software. Financing revenue pertaining to the portion of an arrangement containing a lease is recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Financing revenue related to the lease is recorded in revenue as equipment leasing is part of our operations. Third-party service contracts are evaluated to determine whether such service revenue should be recorded as gross or net sales and whether over time or at point in time. HPP Segment Revenue HPP segment revenue is derived from the sale of integrated hardware and software, maintenance, and other services through the Multicomputer, Myricom, and ARIA product lines. Myricom revenue is derived from the sale of products, which are comprised of both hardware and embedded software which is essential to the products’ functionality, and post contract maintenance and support. Post contract maintenance and support is considered immaterial in the context of the contract and therefore is not a separate performance obligation. Multicomputer revenue is derived from the sale of hardware, software, extended warranties, royalties, and repair services. See disaggregated revenues below by products/services and geography.

When we have the right to bill a customer, accounts receivable is recorded as an unconditional right exists. Current contract assets were $4.4 million and $2.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The current portion is recorded in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no noncurrent contract assets as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The difference in the balances is due to regular timing differences between when work is performed and having an unconditional right to payment. Contract liabilities arise when payment is received before we transfer a good or service to the customer. Current contract liabilities were $1.9 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The current portion of contract liabilities is recorded in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no long-term contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022. The long-term portion of contract liabilities was $0.4 million as of September 30, 2021. These noncurrent liabilities are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the year ended September 30, 2022 that was included in contract liabilities as of September 30, 2021 was $1.7 million. Contract Costs Incremental costs of obtaining a contract involving customer transactions where the revenue and the related transfer of goods and services are equal to or less than a one year period, are expensed as incurred, utilizing the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 three Current capitalized contract costs are within the other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and 2021. The portion of current capitalized costs were $128 thousand and $137 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were no noncurrent capitalized costs on the consolidated balance sheets as these commissions are paid annually even when the contract extends beyond a one year period. The amount of incremental costs amortized for the year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $366 thousand and $442 thousand, respectively. This is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. There was no impairment related to incremental costs capitalized for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when the costs are related to a contract or anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and costs are recoverable. Costs to fulfill a contract are related to the TS portion of the business and involve activities performed before managed services can be completed. Current capitalized fulfillment costs are in the other current assets and noncurrent costs are in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of current capitalized costs were $9 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and $13 thousand as of September 30, 2021. There were no noncurrent capitalized costs as of September 30, 2022. The portion of noncurrent capitalized costs was $9 thousand as of September 30, 2021. The amount of fulfillment costs amortized year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $13 thousand and $13 thousand, respectively. These costs amortized were recorded in cost of sales. There was no impairment related to fulfillment costs capitalized for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other Projects are typically billed upon completion or at certain milestones. Product and services are typically billed when shipped or as services are being performed. Payment terms are typically 30 days to pay in full except in Europe where it could be up to 90 days. Most of our contracts are less than one year. There are certain contracts that contain a financing component. See Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies We have certain contracts that have an original term of more than one year. The royalty agreement is longer than one year, but not included in the table below as the royalties are sales-based. Managed service contracts are generally longer than one year.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We also reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. This methodology requires estimates and judgments in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and in the calculation of certain tax liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded against the gross deferred tax assets that management believes, after considering all available positive and negative objective evidence, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. In addition, we are required to recognize in the consolidated financial statements, those tax positions determined to be more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the position are recognized. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. The Company records liabilities for estimated tax obligations in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions. These estimated tax liabilities include the provision for taxes that may become payable in the future. |
Earnings per Share of Common Stock | Earnings per Share of Common Stock Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing net income by the assumed weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We are required to present earnings per share ("EPS") utilizing the two-class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities. Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows: Year ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 Net income from continuing operations $ 1,889 $ 234 Net income from sale of discontinued operations — 465 Net income 1,889 699 Less: net income attributable to nonvested common stock 100 33 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 1,789 $ 666 Net income attributable to common shareholders from continuing operations $ 1,789 $ 223 Net income attributable to common shareholders from discontinued operations — 443 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 1,789 $ 666 Weighted average total common shares outstanding – basic 4,498 4,356 Less: weighted average non–vested shares outstanding (237) (205) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic 4,261 4,151 Add: potential common shares from non–vested stock awards and the assumed exercise of stock options 17 69 Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted 4,278 4,220 Net income from continuing operations per common share - basic $ 0.42 $ 0.05 Net income from discontinued operations per common share - basic $ — $ 0.11 Net income per common share - basic $ 0.42 $ 0.16 Net income from continuing operations per common share - diluted $ 0.42 $ 0.05 Net income from discontinued operations per common share - diluted $ — $ 0.11 Net income per common share - diluted $ 0.42 $ 0.16 All anti-dilutive securities, including stock options, are excluded from the diluted income per share computation. Non-vested restricted stock awards of 170,600 shares were excluded from net income per share for the year ended September 30, 2022, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Non-vested restricted stock awards of 136,000 shares were excluded from net income per share for the year ended September 30, 2021, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options and nonvested shares of restricted common stock based on estimated fair values of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option grants. The fair value of nonvested restricted share awards is equal to the quoted market price of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. The fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Because stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures and will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of options and restricted stock granted pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive and employee stock purchase plans of approximately $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions in the U.S. and the U.K. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. We had one customer who totaled approximately $15.8 million, or 52%, and approximately $16.2 million, or 62%, of total consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. We believe that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to the accounts receivable with this customer as of September 30, 2022. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of financial position, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. |
