PERCEPTRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.Accounting Policies
Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, produces and sells a comprehensive range of automated industrial metrology products and solutions to manufacturers for dimensional gauging, dimensional inspection and 3D scanning. The Company’s products provide solutions for manufacturing process control as well as sensor and software technologies for non-contact measurement, scanning and inspection applications. The Company also offer value added services such as training and customer support.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of the Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
Use of Estimates
Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions under U.S. GAAP during the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In particular, management has made estimates and assumptions related to the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") on its business. COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To help lessen its spread, many countries have implemented travel restrictions and/or required companies to limit or suspend business operations. These actions have disrupted supply chains and company operations around the world. The current environment resulting from COVID-19 is unprecedented and comes with a great deal of uncertainty. See Note 18 “COVID-19 Pandemic” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business.
2.New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13), which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2018-19). ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13, as amended, is effective for the Company on July 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to be material on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-11—Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASU 2019-11). The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or improve the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The effective dates and transition requirements for ASU 2019-11 are the same as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-11 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2023. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-11 to be material on its consolidated financial statements.
8
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-01—Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2020-01). The amendments in this ASU clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which changes the disclosures related to, among other aspects of fair value, unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 Leases (ASU 2016-2), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.
The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of net operating lease right-of-use assets of $
The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients upon transition, which includes no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases and allowed for the lease classification for existing leases to be retained. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight, and accordingly the initial lease term did not differ under the new standard versus prior accounting practice. After transition, in certain instances, the cost of renewal options will be recognized earlier in the term of the lease than under the previous lease accounting rules. The Company has selected as its accounting policy to keep leases with a term of twelve months or less off the balance sheet and recognize these lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02), which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 was adopted on July 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15 – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2020. ASU 2018-15 was adopted on July 1, 2020 and did not have significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

6.Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” is applicable for all financial assets and liabilities as well as nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and required specific disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company’s financial instruments include investments classified as available for sale, mutual funds, fixed deposits and certificate of deposits at September 30, 2020.
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
|
(1) |
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
|
(2) |
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
|
(3) |
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions. |
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
12
The following table presents the Company’s investments at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of ASC 820 (in thousands). The fair value of the Company’s short-term investments approximates their cost basis.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. At September 30, 2020 the Company did
The Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are tested for impairment when events or circumstances occur which may indicate that the derived fair value is below carrying cost or on an annual basis in accordance with applicable GAAP. For these assets, the Company do not periodically adjust carrying value fair value except in the event of an impairment.

7.Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company provides a reserve for obsolescence to recognize inventory impairment for the effects of engineering change orders, and for age and use of inventory that affect the value of the inventory. The reserve for obsolescence creates a new cost basis for the impaired inventory. When inventory that has previously been impaired is sold or disposed of, the related obsolescence reserve is reduced resulting in the reduced cost basis being reflected in cost of goods sold. A detailed review of the inventory is performed annually with quarterly updates for known changes that have occurred since the annual review. Inventory, net of reserves of $

Right-of-use assets, Short-term operating lease liability and Long-term operating lease liability were $
When readily determinable, the discount rate used to calculate the lease liability is the rate implicit in the lease. Otherwise the Company applied judgement and used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement.
Some of the leases include one or more renewal or termination options at the Company’s discretion, which are included in the determination of the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
The Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan generally have been awarded by four methods, as follows:
(1) |
Awards that are earned based on achieving certain individual and financial performance goals during the initial fiscal year with either a subsequent one-year service vesting period or with a one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance, provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting; |
(2) |
Awards that are earned based on achieving certain revenue and operating income results with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting; |
(3) |
Awards to non-management members of the Company’s Board of Directors with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the service of the non-management member of the Company’s Board of Directors has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting, and |

The grant date fair value associated with granted restricted stock is calculated in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date authorized by the Company’s MDCSOC, multiplied by the number of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards expected to be issued and vested and is amortized over the combined performance and service periods. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $

Board of Directors Fees
The Company’s Board of Directors’ fees are typically payable in cash on September 1, December 1, March 1, and June 1 of each fiscal year; however, under the Company’s 2004 Plan each director can elect to receive the Company’s stock in lieu of cash on a calendar year election. Each of the Company’s Directors elected a combination of cash and stock for calendar year of 2020. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company issued
16.Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other obligations, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and adjusts for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred from the assumed issuance, unless such effect is anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted shares also takes into account the average unrecognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense and additional adjustments for tax benefits related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Furthermore, the Company excludes all outstanding options to purchase common stock from the computation of diluted EPS in periods of net losses because the effect is anti-dilutive.

17.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may, from time to time, be subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for estimated losses arising from such litigation or claims if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. Since the outcome of litigation and claims is subject to significant uncertainty, changes in the factors used in the Company’s evaluation could materially impact its financial position or results of operations.
The Company is currently unaware of any significant pending litigation other than the matters set forth below.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) completed a Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Returns (GST/HST) audit. Based on this audit, the CRA preliminarily proposed to assess the Company approximately CAD $

18.COVID-19 Pandemic
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. In North America, Europe, Asia and Brazil (the Company’s primary markets), federal, state and local governments have recommended or mandated actions to slow the transmission of COVID-19. These actions include the implementation of shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, and restrictions that prohibit non-essential employees from occupying their place of work. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spread and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility in the global economy and financial markets, resulting in a significant reduction in both economic activity and employment levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global automotive industry. The Company, along with many of the Company’s customers and suppliers, temporarily closed or limited operations at production facilities. The Company’s revenues have been significantly and negatively affected by the closure of automotive facilities during fiscal year 2020, and into the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Further, negative financial results, an economic downturn or uncertainty, or a tightening of credit markets caused by COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could have a material adverse effect on liquidity, ability to effectively meet short- and long-term financial obligations, and accounting estimates. While most automotive operations the Company supports have resumed operations, the extent to which normal purchasing activities by the Company’s customers will return remains uncertain. Any further delays in resumption of activity from customers and any future wave of COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could further adversely affect the Company’s business. In response, the Company has implemented cost reduction efforts to help mitigate the impact on the business including reducing discretionary spending and various other measures.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Certain statements in this report, including statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our expectation as to our fiscal year 2021 and future results, operating data, new order bookings, revenue, expenses, net income and backlog levels, trends affecting our future revenue levels, the rate of new orders, the timing of revenue and net income increases from new products which we have recently released or have not yet released, the timing of the introduction of new products and our ability to fund our fiscal year 2021 and future cash flow requirements. We may also make forward-looking statements in our press releases or other public or shareholder communications. Whenever possible, we have identified these forward-looking statements by words such as “target,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “prospects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all of our forward-looking statements. While we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those listed in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2020. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly update or alter our statements whether as a result of new information, events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or otherwise.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Perceptron, Inc. (“Perceptron”, “we”, “us” or “our”) develops, produces and sells a comprehensive range of automated industrial metrology products and solutions to manufacturing organizations for dimensional gauging, dimensional inspection and 3D scanning. Our primary operations are in North America, Europe and Asia. All of our products rely on our core technologies and are divided into the following:
|
• |
In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions - engineered metrology systems for industrial automated process control and assembly using fixed and robot mounted laser scanners. We also provide Value Added Services including training, field service, calibration, launch support services, consulting services, maintenance agreements and repairs related to our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions. |
|
• |

We also provide Value Added Services including training, calibration, maintenance agreements and repairs related to our Off-Line Measurement Solutions. |
|
• |
3D Scanning Solutions - laser scanner products that target the digitizing, reverse engineering, inspection and original equipment manufacturers wheel alignment sectors. |
The largest end-use sector we serve is the automotive industry. New automotive tooling programs represent the most important selling opportunity for our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions. The number and timing of new vehicle tooling programs vary based on the plans of the individual automotive manufacturers. The existing installed base of In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions also provides a continuous revenue stream in the form of system additions, upgrades and modifications as well as Value Added Services such as customer training and support.
Our Off-Line Measurement and 3D Scanning Solutions are utilized by a wide variety of targeted industrial customers, with the automotive industry representing the largest source of customers for industrial metrology products.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant risks to our business. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “COVID-19 Pandemic” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business. The ongoing global public health actions attempting to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are creating and may continue to create significant disruptions to our operations, our customer and supplier relationships, and general global economic conditions. Accordingly, we are closely monitoring and adjusting for the impact of COVID-19 on our global operations, communicating with and monitoring the actions of our customers and suppliers, and reviewing our near-term financial performance as we manage the Company through the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last six months, first in China and then in Europe and the United States, the Company either closed or limited operations at its facilities due to local government mandates requiring citizens to shelter-
21
in-place, as have its customers and suppliers. During that period, our employees have continued to operate remotely and, in some cases, on site with customers where allowable. The Company has gradually reopened previously closed facilities as permitted by law and as required to meet customer requirements. We have incurred some additional costs as we resume operations in order to comply with government requirements and guidelines. We expect to be able to fund these costs as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” below. We believe that the Company currently has sufficient raw material and finished goods inventory to support customer demand and, to date, have experienced minimal disruption to our supply chain. We have implemented cost reduction efforts to help mitigate the impact on our business including reducing discretionary spending and various other measures. Some of our orders from customers have been delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and we may continue to experience such delays. Delays in these orders could affect our ability to fund our business solely through near-term revenue, our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and our existing lines of credit. To help provide us with additional liquidity in the U.S. during this period and in light of economic uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we applied for and received a loan under the U.S. government Paycheck Protection Program. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” for a description of this loan.
Merger Agreement
On September 27, 2020, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Subsidiary, providing for the Merger and, with Perceptron surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to the Merger Consideration. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals. For additional information regarding the Merger, see our other filings made with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s public reference facilities or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, including our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2020, and Note 19, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Merger Agreement”, contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The decrease in bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 of $2.6 million, including a favorable currency impact of $1.0 million, is primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.9 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.4 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.1 million in the Value Added Services. On a geographic basis, the $2.3 million decrease in Americas region is primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in the Value Added Services. The $1.1 million decrease in Europe region is primarily due to a decrease of $0.6 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.3 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.2 million in the Value Added Services. The $0.8 million increase in Asia region is primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, an increase of $0.2 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions.

Backlog – Backlog represents orders or bookings the Company has received but has not yet been filled, that is, our unsatisfied performance obligations as of the reporting date. The Company believes that the level of backlog during any particular period is not necessarily indicative of its future operating performance. Although most of the backlog is subject to cancellation by the customers, the Company expects to fill substantially all of the orders in its backlog.

Sales – Net sales of $13.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 decreased $4.0 million, or (22.3%), including an unfavorable currency impact of $0.5 million, when compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $3.0 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.9 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.2 million in the Value Added Services, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions. On a geographic basis, the decrease of $2.6 million in Americas region is primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.1 million in the Value Added Services, and a decrease of $0.1 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions. The decrease of $1.2 million in Asia region is primarily due to a decrease of $0.6 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.5 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.1 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions. The decrease of $0.2 million in Europe region is primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in the 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.1 million in the In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.1 million in the Value Added Services, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in the Off-Line Measurement Solutions.
Gross Profit – Gross profit percentage was 31.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 39.7% in the same period a year ago. The lower gross profit percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the mix of revenue and increased cost of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses – SG&A expenses were approximately $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in our employee-related costs given the benefit of our cost cutting initiatives.
Engineering, Research and Development (R&D) Expenses – Engineering, research and development expenses were approximately $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in employee-related costs.
Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net – Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net was a gain of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.2 million loss in first quarter of fiscal 2020. The gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily related to changes in the values of the Euro and the Japanese Yen in relation to the US Dollar. The loss in the first three months of fiscal 2020 was primarily related to changes in the value of the Euro and Chinese Yuan in relation to the US Dollar.
Other Income and (Expense), net – Net other expense was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with an immaterial amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
Income Taxes – The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was 27.5% compared to 18.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We have previously established full valuation allowances against our U.S. Federal, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Netherlands, and India net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rates in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 were impacted by not recognizing tax expense on pre-tax income or tax benefits on pre-tax losses in some of the jurisdictions where we have previously established full valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund product development and capital expenditures as well as support working capital requirements. In general, our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under available credit facilities.
Cash on Hand. Our cash and cash equivalents were $12.9 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $10.6 million at June 30, 2020.
Cash Flow. The $2.3 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020 resulted from $2.2 million of cash provided by operating activities, $0.1 million cash used for investing activities and a $0.2 million favorable impact from changes in exchange rates. There was no material impact to cash from financing activities in the period.
Cash used for investing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2020 is due to capital expenditures of $0.1 million and purchases of short-term investments $0.2 million partially offset by sales of short-term investments $0.2 million.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by operations resulted from our net loss of $0.4 million favorably adjusted by $0.5 million of non-cash items and cash inflows related to working capital changes of $2.1 million, primarily arising from a change in receivables.
24
Working Capital Reserves. We provide a reserve for obsolescence to recognize inventory impairment for the effects of engineering change orders as well as the age and usage of inventory that affect the value of the inventory. The reserve for obsolescence creates a new cost basis for the impaired inventory. When inventory that has previously been impaired is sold or disposed, the related obsolescence reserve is reduced resulting in the reduced cost basis being reflected in cost of goods sold. A detailed review of the inventory is performed annually with quarterly updates for known changes that have occurred since the annual review. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we increased the reserve for obsolescence modestly.
We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, our customer’s current ability to pay their outstanding balance due to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we slightly increased the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Investments. At September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we had short-term investments totaling $0.4 million and a long-term investment recorded at $0.7 million. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Short-Term and Long-Term Investments” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our investments and their current valuation. The market for our long-term investment is currently illiquid. We have $0.4 million of our short-term investments serving as collateral for bank guarantees for certain customer obligations in China. The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use while the related bank guarantees are outstanding. Interest is earned on the restricted cash and recorded as interest income.
Credit Facilities.
The Company had $2,200,000 outstanding under its lines of credit at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
On December 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Chemical Bank (“Chemical”), and related documents, including a Promissory Note. The Loan Agreement is an on-demand line of credit and is cancelable at any time by either Perceptron or Chemical and any amounts outstanding would be immediately due and payable. The Loan Agreement is guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement allows for maximum permitted borrowings of $8.0 million. The borrowing base is calculated at the lesser of (i) $8.0 million or (ii) the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances of U.S. customers, and subject to limitations, certain foreign customers, plus the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $3.0 million. At September 30, 2020, our available borrowing under this facility was approximately $3.3 million. Security for the Loan Agreement is substantially all of our assets in the U.S. Interest is calculated at 2.65% above the 30-day LIBOR Rate. The Company is not allowed to pay cash dividends under the Loan Agreement.
On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured loan with TCF National Bank in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million (the “PPP Loan”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program “PPP loan” under the Cares Act. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” for a description of the Company’s loan under the Paycheck Protection Program.
Our Brazilian subsidiary (“Brazil”) has several borrowing facilities with total available borrowings of B$354,000 (equivalent to approximately $63,000 USD). At September 30, 2020, the outstanding balances totaled B$218,000 (equivalent to approximately $39,000 USD and are included in Lines of credit and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet). The monthly interest rate on the outstanding balances range from 0.37% to 13.94%. At June 30, 2020, the outstanding balances totaled B$250,000 (equivalent to approximately $46,000 USD and are included in Lines of credit and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet). The monthly interest rate on the outstanding balances range from 0.37% to 13.94%.
Commitments and Contingencies. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) completed a Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Returns (GST/HST) audit. Based on this audit, the CRA has preliminarily proposed to assess us approximately C$1.2 million (equivalent to approximately $0.9 million) in taxes related to sales from 2013 through 2018. CRA has indicated that we are entitled to invoice our customers to recover this amount and our customers are required to remit payment. In addition, we will be charged interest and penalties if this preliminary finding is finalized. Our response to the CRA was delivered in April 2018. In June 2018, we received the final assessment, which confirmed the preliminary assessment. In August 2018, we filed a formal appeal request and posted a surety bond as security for this claim. We did not record an accrual related to this preliminary audit finding because we are disputing several of the CRA’s conclusions and a loss is not considered probable. We expect to ultimately receive the funds from our customers (excluding any interest or penalties) if we are ultimately required to pay the CRA, although there may be a timing difference between when we must pay the CRA and when we collect the funds from our customers.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we identified a potential concern regarding the residency status of certain U.S. employees as it relates to payroll taxes and withholdings in their country of residency. We estimated the range to correct this issue, including interest and penalties to range from $0.2 million to $0.3 million. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount within this range that we would be required to pay for this matter. As a result, we recorded a reserve of $0.3 million representing the minimum amount we estimate would be paid.

See Note 17, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” and Note 17, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020 for a discussion of certain other contingencies relating to our liquidity, financial position and results of operations. See also, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies - Litigation and Other Contingencies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020.
Capital Spending. We spent $0.1 million on capital equipment in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.3 million on capital equipment and $0.1 million on intangible projects in the first three months of fiscal 2020. We continue to closely analyze all potential capital projects and review the project’s expected return on investment.
Capital Resources and Outlook. Information in this “Outlook” section should be read in conjunction with the “Safe Harbor Statement,” cautionary statements and discussion of risk factors included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
At September 30, 2020, we had $13.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of which $8.0 million, or approximately 60%, was held in foreign bank accounts. We have not been repatriating our foreign earnings. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted by the U.S. The Act implements comprehensive tax legislation which, among other changes, imposes a tax on the untaxed foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies by deeming those earnings to be repatriated (the “Transition Tax”). Foreign earnings held in the form of cash and cash equivalents are taxed at a 15.5% rate and the remaining earnings are taxed at an 8% rate. We completed our evaluation and related calculations related to the Transition Tax during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, which confirmed our previous conclusion that our foreign tax credits would completely offset any tax calculated. As a result, we have not made any cash payments related to the Transition Tax. As a result of the Act, we may be in a position to repatriate our past and future foreign earnings to the U.S. in a more cost-effective manner than under prior law, which could positively impact our liquidity in the U.S. Any such repatriation may be subject to taxation under foreign laws or the laws of the State of Michigan. We have determined not to repatriate such earnings at this time because of the associated costs to do so and the financial requirements of our subsidiaries outside the United States.
We continue to expect capital spending including development of intangible assets to be less than $2.0 million during fiscal 2021, although there is no binding commitment to do so. Furthermore, the level of our capital spending is dependent on our continued financial strength.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. We are continuously reviewing our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. To provide additional liquidity during this period and in light of economic uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into a loan with TCF National Bank on April 16, 2020 (the “PPP Loan”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) dated April 16, 2020. The PPP Loan matures two years from the disbursement date and bears interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing with a date determined by the lender following the remittance of the amount of the PPP Loan to be forgiven by the SBA to the lender or potentially earlier, as determined under applicable Small Business Administration rules, if the Company’s PPP Loan is reviewed. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by us at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We can apply for forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. The loans issued under PPP are subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds are used for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits, and certain rent, utility, and mortgage interest expenses incurred or paid during a 24 week period (the “Covered Period”) following the disbursement date (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. We expect to be able to use a significant portion of the PPP Loan proceeds for Qualifying Expenses and to have a significant portion of the PPP Loan eligible for forgiveness.
Any portion of the PPP Loan that is not used for Qualifying Expenses or is not otherwise forgiven is expected to be repaid on the terms set forth above. We cannot be certain as to the amount of the PPP Loan that will be forgiven, if any.
In connection with the PPP Loan, as required by the CARES Act, we certified that “current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant” and were otherwise eligible for the PPP Loan. While we believe we are eligible for the PPP Loan, in the event it was determined that we were not eligible for the PPP Loan, it is possible we would be required to repay the PPP Loan on an accelerated basis, rather than over two years provided under the PPP Loan promissory note, and at a higher interest rate than 1.000% per annum.
As a result of our PPP Loan, utilization of our existing credit facility with Chemical, continued collection of customer receivables, and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to fund our current operations and strategic plans for at least the next twelve months. Our expectations are based upon our internal projections about the global automotive industry and related economic conditions, as well as our current understanding of our key customers’ plans for retooling projects. If our key customers’ plans differ from our understanding or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic varies from our expectations, our results of operations and financial condition could be more negatively impacted.
