NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
MARCH 31, 2021
NOTE 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business:
Napco Security Technologies, Inc. (“NAPCO”, “the Company”, “we”) is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. 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. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by fast growing recurring service revenues generated from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems, as well as our school security products that are designed to meet the increasing needs to enhance school security as a result of on-campus shooting and violence in the U.S. While recurring service revenues have continued to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, equipment sales were negatively impacted by the economic slowdown associated with this pandemic.
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 for our products is affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend.
Our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 reflected the challenging business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused difficulties for security equipment professionals getting access to both commercial and residential installation sites. We sell our products primarily through distribution to dealers and we are now seeing strong sell-through statistics from several of our largest distributors.
Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The 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
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, valuation of intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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, marketable securities, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 due to their short-term maturities. Long-term debt and lease liabilities approximate fair value based on prevailing market rates.
8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities include investments in mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in other expense (income). Realized gains or losses on mutual funds are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company evaluates its investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment by reviewing factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value had been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery of market value. The Company records an impairment charge to the extent that the cost of the available-for-sale securities exceeds the estimated fair value of the securities and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not record an impairment charge regarding its investment in marketable securities because management believes, based on its evaluation of the circumstances, that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Company’s marketable securities is temporary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $
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 realizable 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 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.
9
Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets using 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 with definite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment 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. At the acquisition, the Marks trade name was deemed to have an indefinite life. At the conclusion of fiscal 2020, the Company determined that the tradename was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $
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
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 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, 2021 and 2020 was $
10
Research and Development Costs
Research and development (“R&D”) costs incurred by the Company are charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $
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
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.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has established
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 $
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,
Comprehensive Income
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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
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

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform (ASC Topic 848)
In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide optional relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is expected to be phased out at the end of calendar 2021, and applies to lease contracts, hedging instruments, held-to-maturity debt securities and debt arrangements that have LIBOR as the benchmark rate.
In January 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that makes amendments to the new rules on accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments clarify that for all derivative instruments affected by the changes to interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment, regardless of whether they reference LIBOR or another rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform, an entity may apply certain practical expedients in ASC Topic 848.
Effective for the Company – This guidance can be applied for a limited time through December 31, 2022. The guidance will no longer be available to apply after December 31, 2022.
Impact on consolidated financial statements – The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance on its existing derivative contracts, leases and other arrangements, as well as when to adopt this guidance.
NOTE 2 – Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers
Net Sales
The Company markets and sells two major product lines: (1) the development, manufacture, and distribution 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 and (2) the Company provides wireless communication service for intrusion and fire alarm systems on a monthly basis. These products and services are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. Sales to unaffiliated customers are primarily shipped from the United States.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
For product sales, the Company typically transfers control at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the product. For monthly communication services the Company satisfies its performance obligation as the services are rendered and therefore recognizes revenue over the monthly period.
Typically timing of revenue recognition coincides with the timing of invoicing to the customers, at which time the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. As such, the Company typically records a receivable when revenue is recognized.
The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. Payment for product sales is typically due within
The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of

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. As a percentage of equipment sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in the accounting policy footnote, the Company’s business consists of one operating segment. Following is the disaggregation of revenues based on major product lines (in thousands):

NOTE 3 - Business and Credit Concentrations
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.

NOTE 4 – Marketable Securities
Marketable securities include investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are reported at their fair values. The disaggregated net gains and losses on the marketable securities recognized in the income statement for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2021 are as follows:

The fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined in accordance with US GAAP, with fair value being defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company utilizes the three-tier value hierarchy, as prescribed by US GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
● | Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
● | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company’s marketable securities, which are considered available-for-sale securities, are re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis and are valued using Level 1 inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets. The following tables summarize the Company’s investments:

NOTE 7 - Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), tax benefit of R&D credits and certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition de-recognition or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the quarter of the change.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized net income tax expense of $

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company received the proceeds of promissory notes (“Notes”) dated between April 17, 2020 and May 7, 2020 (the “PPP Loan Agreement”), entered into between the Company and HSBC Bank USA N.A., as lender (the “Lender”). The Lender made the loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), created by Section 1102 of the CARES Act and governed by the CARES Act, Section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, any rules or guidance that has been issued by the SBA implementing the PPP and acting as guarantor, or any other applicable loan program requirements, as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10,
17
as amended from time to time. Pursuant to the PPP Loan Agreement, the Lender made loans to the Company with an aggregate principal amount of $
Pursuant to the CARES Act, the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. The Company is in the process of applying for forgiveness of these loans. The amount of loan forgiveness is determined by and is subject to the sole approval of the SBA. The amount of loan forgiveness is determined by calculating allowable expenses during a period of 24 weeks from the date of the receipt of the loan proceeds (the “Effective Period”) and may be reduced if loan proceeds are not used for qualified expenses. To receive loan forgiveness, the Company must apply for loan forgiveness and provide documentation as requested by the SBA. There will be no loan forgiveness without the Company’s submission of the proper application and documentation to Lender to include all SBA requirements. Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. While the Company believes it is eligible for forgiveness, no assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part or, if forgiven, will not be disallowed by the SBA if audited.
The maturity dates of the PPP Loan are between April 17, 2022 and May 7, 2022, which is
The PPP Loan and the related documentation contain customary events of default, including: (i) any representation or warranty made, or financial or other information provided, by the Company under the PPP Loan Agreement being false or misleading in any material respect; (ii) the failure by the Company to make required payments; (iii) the failure by the Company to perform or comply with certain agreements; and (iv) the dissolution or termination of the Company's existence as a going business, the insolvency of the Company, the appointment of a receiver for any part of the Company's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against the Company. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then the Company will pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if the Company does not pay. The Company will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. The Company also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
Should the Company default on the PPP Loan, SBA may be required to pay Lender under the SBA guarantee. SBA may then seek recovery of these funds from the Company and the Company may not claim or assert against SBA any immunities or defenses available under local law to defeat, modify or otherwise limit the Company's obligation to repay to SBA any funds advanced by Lender to the Company. If the Company defaults on the SBA-guaranteed loan and SBA suffers a loss, the names of the small business will be referred for listing in the Credit Alert Verification Reporting System (CAIVRS) database, which may affect their eligibility for further assistance.
The Company is accounting for the PPP Loan as debt in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470, Debt and accrues interest in accordance with the interest method under FASB ASC 835-30.
The Company will not impute additional interest at a market rate (even though the stated interest rate may be below market) as transactions where interest rates are prescribed by governmental agencies are excluded from the scope of the FASB ASC 835-30 guidance on imputing interest.
For purposes of de-recognition or forgiveness of the liability, FASB ASC 470-50-15-4 refers to guidance in FASB ASC 405-20. Based on the guidance in FASB ASC 405-20-40-1, the proceeds from the loan would remain recorded as a liability until either (1) the loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and the debtor has been “legally released” or (2) the debtor pays off the loan to the creditor. Once the loan
18
is, in part or wholly, forgiven and legal release is received, the Company will reduce the liability by the amount forgiven and record a gain on extinguishment.

Overview
Napco Security Technologies, Inc (“NAPCO”, “the Company”, “we”) is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. 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. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by fast growing recurring service revenues generated from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems, as well as our school security products that are designed to meet the increasing needs to enhance school security as a result of on-campus shooting and violence in the U.S. While recurring service revenues have continued to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, equipment sales were negatively impacted by the economic slowdown associated with this pandemic.
Since 1969, NAPCO has established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high-quality security solutions, building many of the industry’s widely recognized brands, such as NAPCO Security Systems, Alarm Lock, Continental Access, Marks USA, and other popular product lines: including Gemini and F64-Series hardwire/wireless intrusion systems and iSee Video internet video solutions. We are also dedicated to developing innovative technology and producing the next generation of reliable security solutions that utilize remote communications and wireless networks, including our StarLink, iBridge, and more recently the iSecure product lines. Today, millions of businesses, institutions, homes, and people around the globe are protected by products from the NAPCO Group of Companies.
Economic and Other Factors
We are subject to the effects of general economic and market conditions. If the U.S. or international economic conditions deteriorate, our revenue, profit and cash-flow levels could be materially adversely affected in future periods. In the event of such deterioration, many of our current or potential future customers may experience serious cash flow problems and as a result may, modify, delay or cancel purchases of our products. Additionally, customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. If such events do occur, they may result in our fixed and semi-variable expenses becoming too high in relation to our revenues and cash flows.

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 for our products is affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend.
Our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 reflected the challenging business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused difficulties for security equipment professionals getting access to both commercial and residential installation sites. We sell our products primarily through distribution to dealers and we are now seeing strong sell-through statistics from several of our largest distributors. Increased sell-through of our products from our distributors to the alarm and locking dealers during the quarter as compared to the same quarter last year, which was pre COVID-19, indicates that security equipment professionals are getting increased access to both commercial and residential installation sites and using more and more of our products.

Management believes these critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $1,989,000 or 7.6% to $28,228,000 as compared to $26,239,000 for the same period a year ago. Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $253,000 or .3% to $78,606,000 as compared to $78,353,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due primarily to increased recurring communication service revenues ($2,661,000) and sales of intrusion and access products ($548,000) as partially offset by a decrease in sales of door-locking products ($1,220,000). The increase in sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was due primarily to increased recurring communication service revenues ($6,977,000) and sales of intrusion and access products ($321,000) as partially offset by a decrease in sales of door-locking products ($7,045,000). Sales of the Company’s door-locking products continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $12,910,000 or 45.7% of sales as compared to $11,956,000 or 45.6% of sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on equipment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased to $5,261,000 or 27.2% of equipment sales as compared to $6,722,000 or 33.6% of equipment sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on sales of services for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $7,649,000 or 86.0% of service sales as compared to $5,234,000 or 84.0% of service sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased to $35,005,000 or 44.5% of sales as compared to $35,601,000 or 45.4% of sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on equipment sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased to $14,269,000 or 26.3% of equipment sales as compared to $21,448,000 or 35.2% of equipment sales for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on sales of services for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $20,736,000 or 85.1% of service sales as compared to $,14,153,000 or 81.4% of service sales for the same period a year ago. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of equipment sales for the three and nine months was primarily due to the decrease in net sales of equipment, an unfavorable shift in product mix from door-locking products to intrusion products as well as lower overhead absorption which resulted from the Company’s lower purchasing and production levels. The lower levels of component part purchases and production were due to the Company’s efforts to reduce its inventory levels as well as the reduced hardware revenues discussed above. The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of service sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 was due primarily to the increase in service revenues as well as a favorable shift in service product mix to higher margin service plans.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $87,000 to $1,902,000 as compared to $1,815,000 for the same period a year ago. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased $288,000 to $5,675,000 as compared to $5,387,000 for the same period a year ago. These increases were due primarily to increased payroll.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 1.9% to $5,980,000 from $6,096,000 for the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 23.2% for the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 3.2% to $17,979,000 from $18,566,000 for the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 23.7% for the same period a year ago. The decreases in Selling, general and administrative expenses and as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months was primarily due to decreased travel and tradeshow expenses.
Interest and other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $39,000 to $44,000 as compared to $5,000 for the same period a year ago. Interest and other expense, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased $50,000 to $53,000 as compared to $3,000 for the same period a year ago. The increases were due primarily to unrealized losses on marketable securities owned by the Company.
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $199,000 to $624,000 as compared to $425,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased by 197,000 to $1,422,000 as compared to $1,225,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months was primarily due to higher taxable income in the U.S, as compared to income in the DR. The Company’s effective rate for income tax was 13% and 11% for the three months and 13% and 11% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
29
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by $745,000 to $4,360,000 or $0.24 per diluted share as compared to $3,615,000 or $0.20 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $544,000 to $9,876,000 or $0.54 per diluted share as compared to $10,420,000 or $0.56 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The changes in net income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the items described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 the Company utilized a portion of its cash generated from operations ($5,927,000 of $16,431,000) to purchase property, plant and equipment ($566,000) and marketable securities ($5,403,000). The Company believes its current working capital, cash flows from operations and its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the next twelve months.
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2021 decreased by $577,000 to $22,355,000 as compared to $22,932,000 at June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily the result of the Company offering some of its top customers longer payment terms during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to those offered during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Inventories at March 31, 2021 decreased by $5,749,000 from June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily the result of the Company utilizing some of the additional inventory it had built up during the COVID-19 pandemic as partially offset by level-loading its production output throughout the year, whereas the Company’s sales are typically highest in the fourth quarter. The non-current portion of inventory increased $2,100,000 primarily due to the Company reducing its production planning in response to decreased demand during the COVID pandemic.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses other than accrued income taxes decreased by $1,091,000 as of March 31, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020. This decrease was due primarily to the Company’s efforts to reduce its inventory levels by decreasing purchases of component parts and production levels.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company maintained a revolving credit facility of $11,000,000 which expires in June 2024 and term loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration totaling $3,904,000 through its Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $11,000,000 in availability under the revolving credit facility and $3,904,000 outstanding under the PPP term loans. The Company’s long-term debt is described more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The facility contains various restrictions and covenants including, among others, restrictions on borrowings and compliance with certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement.
As of March 31, 2021 the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures or inventory purchases other than purchase orders issued in the normal course of business.
ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
All foreign sales transactions by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company has shifted foreign currency exposure onto its foreign customers. As a result, if exchange rates move against foreign customers, the Company could experience difficulty collecting unsecured accounts receivable, the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk relative to expenses incurred in Dominican Pesos (“RD$”), the local currency of the Company’s production facility in the Dominican Republic. The result of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar to the RD$ would result in an annual increase or decrease in income from operations of approximately $700,000.
ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
30
At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
