Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Disclosures
1.)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Disclosures

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.   The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in the June 30, 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011 was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The 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.

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

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

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are included in "Selling, General and Administrative" expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $251,000 and $90,000, respectively. The increase for the three months is due to the timing of a tradeshow that occurred in September 2011. Last year, the same tradeshow occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are included in "Cost of Sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,031,000 and $1,268,000, respectively.

Business Concentration and Credit Risk

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. Such risks of loss manifest themselves differently, depending on the nature of the concentration, and vary in significance.

The Company had one customer with an accounts receivable balance that represents 22% of the Company’s accounts receivable at September 30, 2011 and 17% at June 30, 2011.  Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the past three fiscal years.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has established a reserve for doubtful accounts and customer deductions in the amount of $255,000 as of both September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The Company’s reserve for doubtful accounts is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net earnings. This reserve is based upon the evaluation of accounts receivable agings, specific exposures and historical trends.
 
Stock Options
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2011 no stock options were granted or exercised under its 2002 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan or under its 2000 Non-employee Incentive Stock Option Plan.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Certain 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 and 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.

On August 18, 2008, the Company, through a newly-formed subsidiary, Marks USA I, LLC (“Marks”), acquired substantially all of the assets and business of G. Marks Hardware, Inc. This acquisition included intangible assets with a fair value of $16,440,000 on the date of acquisition. The Company recorded the estimated value of $9,800,000 related to the customer relationships, $340,000 related to a non-compete agreement and $6,300,000 related to the Marks trade name within intangible assets. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of twenty years (customer relationships) and seven years (non-compete agreement). The Marks USA trade name was deemed to have an indefinite life. The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition is deductible for Federal and New York State income tax purposes over a period of 15 years. At the conclusion of the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company performed its annual impairment evaluation and determined that its intangible asset relating to its Marks trade name was partially impaired. Accordingly, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $400,000 which represented the excess book value of this intangible asset over its current valuation.

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $266,000 and $288,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows: 2012 - $1,065,000; 2013 - $917,000; and 2014 - $781,000; 2015 - $667,000 and 2016 - $529,000. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 16.5 years and 16.7 years at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
 
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. An 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.

Self-funded Employee Health Benefit Plan

Effective February 1, 2011, the Company converted its employee health benefit plan from a fully-insured plan to a self-insured plan. The Company made this change due, primarily, to significant increases in health insurance costs over the past few years. Under this arrangement, the Company engaged a plan administrator to process claims and purchased an insurance policy that covers claims over a certain aggregate amount over the plan year. The aggregate limit is based on the number of employees enrolled in the plan. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the aggregate limit of claims to be self-insured was approximately $1,356,000 and $1,409,000, respectively. The Company records claims as they are paid and records an accrual for unpaid claims based upon the date of service or date incurred. In connection with this self-insured liability, the Company has accrued $259,000 and $150,000 as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income, requiring entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements.  This guidance becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal 2013 first quarter.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance but believes that it may result only in changes in the presentation of its financial statements and will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In May 2011, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to fair value measurements to provide a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  This guidance clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the existing disclosure requirements.  This guidance became effective for the Company’s fiscal 2012 third quarter.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
In December 2010, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.  For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill impairment exists.  In determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill impairment exists, consideration should be made as to whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist.  This guidance became effective for the Company’s fiscal 2012 first quarter.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
