SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary with a majority voting interest of 64.2% (35.8% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of March 31, 2019 and 51.8% (48.2% is owned by non-controlling interests) as of June 30, 2018. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of the subsidiary applicable to non-controlling interests. The increase in the majority voting interest in percentage from 51.8% to 64.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was due to the purchase of an additional 246,663 shares of the subsidiary, at $0.95 per share by the parent company from three shareholders of the subsidiary.

 

Non-controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary

 

As of March 31, 2019, the non-controlling interest was $523,935, which represents a $397,075 decrease from $921,010 as of June 30, 2018. 

 

The decrease in the non-controlling interest of $397,075 was comprised of two components (1) losses in the subsidiary of $162,745 incurred during the nine month period March 31, 2019 and (2) a reduction in the ownership percentage of the non-controlling interests due to the repurchase by the Company of 246,663 shares of the subsidiary for $234,330 ($0.95 per share) from three non-controlling shareholders. This decreased the non-controlling interests’ ownership percentage from 48.2% to 35.8%.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Public companies are required to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. We have one reportable segment, consisting of the sale of wireless access products.

 

We generate revenues from four geographic areas, consisting of the United States and Canada, the Caribbean and South America, EMEA and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
Net sales:  2019   2018   2019   2018 
United States and Canada  $8,898,775   $6,414,074   $31,234,107   $21,813,370 
Caribbean and South America               234,970 
Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”)   63,347    138,799    224,427    333,021 
Asia   4,018    12,569    22,298    180,693 
Totals  $8,966,140   $6,565,442   $31,480,832   $22,562,054 

 

Long-lived assets, net (property and equipment and intangible assets):  March 31, 2019   June 30, 2018 
United States  $927,894   $1,073,640 
Asia   34,336    47,140 
Totals  $962,230   $1,120,780 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. We invest our excess cash into financial instruments which management believes are readily convertible into cash, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Based upon our review of our collection history as well as the current balances associated with all significant customers and associated invoices, we do not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

 

Revenue Recognition  

 

On July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially complete as of June 30, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after June 30, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. We recorded no change in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 as a result of the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606.

 

Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue for sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in contracts primarily consist of hot spot routers. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract, primarily in the form of a purchase order. Since the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the purchase order that does not vary over the life of the contract, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. We establish a provision for estimated warranty and returns. Using historical averages, that provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was not material.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in Topic 606, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

 

Contract Balances

 

We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products in exchange for consideration from the customer. We typically invoice our customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred, and a receivable is established. We, however, recognize a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, or we have not delivered goods under the contract since we have not yet transferred control of the goods and/or services.

 

The balances of our receivables are as follows: 

 

   March 31, 2019   June 30, 2018 
Accounts Receivable  $7,939,002   $7,907,117 

 

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as we did not have a significant amount of un-invoiced receivables in the periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. 

 

Our contract liabilities are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2019   June 30, 2018 
Advance payments from customers  $71,460   $228,598 
Undelivered products   140,000    140,000 
Totals  $211,460   $368,593 

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of measurement in Topic 606. At contract inception, we assess the products and services promised in our contracts with customers. We then identify performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customer. In order to identify performance obligations, we consider all the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

 

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 97.4% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 99.3% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue for non-recurring engineering projects is based on the percent complete of a project and accounted for 2.6% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 0.7% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of hot-spot router products. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product which generally coincides with title transfer at completion of the shipping process.

 

As of March 31, 2019, our contracts do not contain any unsatisfied performance obligations, except for undelivered products.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

All costs associated with our contract manufacturers, as well as distribution, fulfillment and repair services are included in our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes amortization expense associated with capitalized product development costs associated with complete technology.

 

Capitalized Product Development Costs

 

Our products contain embedded software internally developed by FTI, which is an integral part of these products because it allows the various components of the products to communicate with each other and the products are clearly unable to function without this coding.

 

The costs of product development that are capitalized once technological feasibility is determined (noted as Technology in progress in the Intangible Assets table) include certifications, licenses, payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. We determine that technological feasibility for our products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved. Once the products are available for general release to our customers, we cease capitalizing the product development costs and any additional costs, if any, are expensed. The capitalized product development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the greater of straight-line amortization or the ratio of the current gross revenues to the current and anticipated future gross revenues. The amortization begins when the products are available for general release to our customers.

 

As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, capitalized product development costs in progress were $268,910 and $100,000, respectively, and these amounts are included in intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $104,505 and $168,910, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $66,901 and $291,386, respectively, in capitalized product development costs, and such amounts are primarily comprised of certifications and licenses. All costs incurred before technological feasibility is reached are expensed and included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $714,092 and $744,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,186,755 and $2,641,526 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Warranties

 

We provide a warranty for one year which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.  Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), were $262,596 and $177,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $978,275 and $560,458 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Our inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. Our customer demand is highly unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly caused by factors beyond the control of the Company. We may write down our inventory value for potential obsolescence and excess inventory. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, we have recorded an inventory reserve in the amounts of $293,888 and $295,502, respectively, for inventories that we have identified as obsolete or slow-moving.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Machinery 6 years
Office equipment 5 years
Molds 3 years
Vehicles 5 years
Computers and software 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Facilities improvements 5 years or life of the lease, whichever is shorter

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and certain intangible assets were recorded in connection with the FTI acquisition in October 2009, and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and any related impairment losses are recognized in earnings when identified. No impairment was recognized for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Total as of June 30, 2018               $ 3,750,144     $ 2,753,436     $ 996,708  

 

Amortization expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $93,777 and $116,788 respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $339,708 and $363,140, respectively.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

We review for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the asset; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company’s employee share-based awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on an award’s grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. Stock-based compensation costs are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) based upon the underlying recipients' roles within the Company.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes and the annual change in deferred taxes.

 

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. We recorded an income tax benefit of $108,244 and $185,284 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and an increase in deferred tax asset, non-current, of $108,251 and $186,126 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act includes a provision to reduce the federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are to be measured at the enacted rate, which is expected to apply when the related temporary differences are to be realized or settled, and the related tax impact is recognized through continuing operations in the period in which tax legislation is enacted. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017, resulting in an approximate $400,000 decrease, which was included as a component of the income tax provision recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Additionally, the Act requires under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 965 a deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign earnings. Under the provision, U.S. taxpayers are subject to a special tax on previously untaxed foreign income held in the foreign subsidiaries. The Company performed an internal analysis and concluded that its foreign subsidiary has no earning and profits with respect to the IRC Section 954 tax to be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Earnings per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of common stock options outstanding under our stock plan.

 

Concentrations

 

We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectability and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. No reserve was required or recorded for any of the periods presented.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from sales of wireless data products. Any significant decline in market acceptance of our products or in the financial condition of our existing customers could impair our ability to operate effectively.

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, sales to our two largest customers accounted for 57% and 23% of our consolidated net sales, and 70% and 22% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2019. In the same period in 2018, sales to our three largest customers accounted for 55%, 19% and 12% of our consolidated net sales, and 58%, 34% and 0% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2018. No other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and no other customers accounted for more than ten percent of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased the majority of our wireless data products from two manufacturing companies located in Asia. If these manufacturing companies were to experience delays, capacity constraints or quality control problems, product shipments to our customers could be delayed, or our customers could consequently elect to cancel the underlying product purchase order, which would negatively impact the Company's revenue.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased wireless data products from these two manufacturers in the amount of $24,768,764, or 98% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $6,073,444 as of March 31, 2019. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we purchased wireless data products from these manufacturers in the amount of $14,004,980, or 89% of total purchases, and had related accounts payable of $4,133,501 as of March 31, 2018.

 

We maintain our cash accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit of $250,000 for each financial institution. However, we do not anticipate any losses on excess deposits.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which amends existing standards for leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about such arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and the timing and presentation of our adoption.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (ASU 2018-02), which amends existing standards for income statement-reporting comprehensive income to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect that the adoption of this update will materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
