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 periods ended March 31, 2012 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
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.
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, among other things, revenue recognition, reserves
for sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts,
concentration of credit risk, inventories, intangible assets and
income taxes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i)
persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) there is a fixed
and determinable price for the Company's product, (iii) shipment
and passage of title occurs, and (iv) collectability is reasonably
assured. Revenues from merchandise sales are recorded at
the time the product is shipped or delivered to the customer
pursuant to the terms of the sale. The Company reports
its sales levels on a net sales basis, with net sales being
computed by deducting from gross sales the amount of actual sales
returns and other allowances and the amount of reserves established
for anticipated sales returns and other allowances.
Sales
Returns and Other Allowances
The
Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and
reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s
past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several
factors including actual returns and based on expected return data
communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company
believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis
for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
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 March 31, 2012 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.
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 17% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March
31, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Sales to this customer did
not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the past three fiscal
years.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or fair market 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 the difference between the cost of the inventory
and 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. There is
inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both
production and engineering members of management in determining the
estimated obsolescence percentage. In addition, and as necessary,
the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or
anticipated events. 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.
Long-Lived
and Intangible 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.
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.
Changes
in intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):
Amortization
expense for intangible assets was approximately $266,000 and
$288,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was
approximately $799,000 and $865,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 2012 and 2011, 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 16.0 years and 16.7 years at March
31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
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. The components of
the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified
as current and non-current based on their characteristics. 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.
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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 was
$388,000 and $62,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the
nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $871,000 and
$423,000, respectively. The increase for the three months ended
March 31, 2012 is due to the timing of a tradeshow that occurred in
March 2012 plus increased spending on media and printed
advertising. Last year, the same tradeshow occurred in the quarter
ended June 30, 2011. The increase for the nine months ended March
31, 2012 is due to increased spending on tradeshows and media and
printed advertising.
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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,094,000 and $935,000,
respectively. Research and development expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,134,000 and $3,420,000,
respectively.
Stock
Options
During
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 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.
Employee Health Benefit Plan
Effective March 1, 2012, the Company converted its employee health
benefit plan from a self-insured plan back to a fully-insured plan
due to the significant amounts of medical claims incurred. The
Company feels that the significant claim levels will continue and
that the cost of a fully-insured plan will be less than that of the
self-insured plan.
As of January 31, 2012 (the termination date of this insurance
policy) and at June 30, 2011, the aggregate limit of claims to be
self-insured was approximately $1,372,000 and $1,409,000,
respectively. Claims submitted after January 31, 2012 for services
performed prior to the commencement of the fully-insured plan on
March 1, 2012 are not covered by this insurance policy and are to
be paid by the Company. Since March 1, 2012, the Company has
incurred approximately $200,000 in these uninsured, run-out claims
in addition to the premiums incurred for the fully-insured benefit
policy. In connection with these self-insured liabilities, the
Company has accrued $296,000 and $150,000 as of March 31, 2012 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.
