Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Business

Nature of Business:

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

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

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, including these notes, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 13, 2018. Results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s operating results. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 due to their short-term maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $460,000 of short-term time deposits at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC and other international agencies as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. The Company has not historically experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $117,000 and $195,000 as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Our reserves for doubtful accounts are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

Inventories

Inventories

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

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

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

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, Plant, and Equipment

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

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

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

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

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

Changes in intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019							June 30, 2018
	Cost		Accumulated amortization			Net book value		Cost		Accumulated amortization			Net book value
Customer relationships	$	9,800	$	(8,390	)	$	1,410	$	9,800	$	(8,155	)	$	1,645
Trade name		5,900		—			5,900		5,900		—			5,900
	$	15,700	$	(8,390	)	$	7,310	$	15,700	$	(8,155	)	$	7,545

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $78,000 and $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $235,000 and $278,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2019 - $313,000; 2020 -$264,000; 2021 - $223,000; 2022 - $188,000; and 2023 - $159,000. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 9.4 years and 10.4 years at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which the Company adopted effective July 1, 2018. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of its products or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. See Note 2 – Revenue Recognition for additional accounting policies and transition disclosures.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are included in "Selling, General and Administrative" expenses in the consolidated statements of income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $190,000 and $171,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1,275,000 and $1,274,000, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs incurred by the Company are charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Company-sponsored research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1,851,000 and $1,669,000, respectively. Company-sponsored research and development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $5,358,000 and $4,915,000, respectively. These amounts, previously recorded in cost of sales have been reclassified to research and development to conform with the current period presentation.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The 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. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company measures and recognizes the tax implications of positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns on an ongoing basis.

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share

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

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Net Income				Weighted Average Shares				Net Income per Share
	2019		2018		2019		2018		2019		2018
Basic EPS	$	3,122	$	1,829		18,489		18,737	$	0.17	$	0.10
Effect of Dilutive Securities:
Stock Options		—		—		44		35		—		—
Diluted EPS	$	3,122	$	1,829		18,533		18,772	$	0.17	$	0.10

No options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the nine months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Net Income				Weighted Average Shares				Net Income per Share
	2019		2018		2019		2018		2019		2018
Basic EPS	$	7,495	$	3,952		18,607		18,811	$	0.40	$	0.21
Effect of Dilutive Securities:
Stock Options		—		—		47		34		—		—
Diluted EPS	$	7,495	$	3,952		18,654		18,845	$	0.40	$	0.21

Options to purchase 3,942 and 290 shares of common stock were excluded for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These options were still outstanding at the end of the respective periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established three share incentive programs as discussed in Note 8.

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

Stock-based compensation costs of $0 and $5,000 were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs of $152,000 and $141,000 were recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined the functional currency of all foreign subsidiaries is the U.S Dollar. All foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company's operations. The day-to-day operations of all foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S Dollar. Therefore, no realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation is recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's operations did not give rise to material items includable in comprehensive income, which were not already included in net income. Accordingly, the Company's comprehensive income approximates its net income for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable operating segments are determined based on the Company's management approach. The management approach is based on the way that the chief operating decision maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company's results of operations are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on a consolidated basis and the Company operates in only one segment. The Company has presented required geographical data in Note 12.

Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs

Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($109,000 and $105,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $313,000 and $352,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively) and classifies the costs associated with these revenues in cost of sales ($280,000 and $247,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $827,000 and $706,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively).

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition. This standard superseded all prior revenue recognition standards and requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company adopted this ASU effective July 1, 2018. See Note 2, Revenue Recognition for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures.

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