* Finance revenue is related to equipment leasing and is not subject to the guidance on revenue from contracts with customers (ASC 606).

Significant Judgments

The input method using labor hours expended relative to the total expected hours is used to recognize revenue for professional services. Only the hours that depict ~~the Company’s~~our performance toward satisfying a performance obligation are used ~~for~~to measure progress. An estimate of hours for each professional ~~services~~service agreement is made at the beginning of each contract based on prior experience and monitored throughout the performance of the services. This method is most appropriate as it depicts the measure of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation.

A financing component exists when at contract inception the period between the transfer of a promised good and/or service to the customer differs from when the customer pays for the good and/or service. As a practical expedient, ~~the Company has~~we have elected not to adjust the amount of consideration for effects of a significant financing component when it is anticipated the promised good or service will be transferred and the subsequent payment will be one year or less.

Certain contracts contain a financing component including managed services contracts with financing of hardware and software. The interest rate used reflects the approximate interest rate consistent with a separate financing transaction with the customer at the inception of the agreement. Revenues from arrangements which include financing are allocated considering relative standalone selling prices of lease and non-lease components within the agreement. The lease component includes hardware, which is subject to ASC 842, Leases. The non-lease components are subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

When product and non-managed services are sold together, the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation is calculated based on the estimated relative selling price or a budgeted cost-plus margin approach, as appropriate. Due to the complex nature of these contracts, there is significant judgment in allocating the transaction price. These estimates are periodically reviewed by project managers, engineers, and other staff involved to ensure estimates ~~are~~remain appropriate. For items sold separately, including hardware, software, professional services, maintenance contracts, other services, and third-party service contracts, there is no allocation as there is one performance obligation.

Table of Contents

We recognize revenue from third-party service contracts as either gross sales or net sales depending on whether ~~the Company is~~we are acting as a principal party to the transaction or simply acting as an agent or broker based on control and timing. ~~The Company is~~We are a principal if ~~it controls~~we control the good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer. We record revenue as gross when ~~the Company is~~we are a principal party to the arrangement and net of cost when we are acting as a broker or agent for a third party. Under gross sales recognition, the entire selling price is recorded in revenue and our cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded in cost of ~~goods sold.~~sales. Under net sales recognition, the cost to the third-party service provider or vendor is recorded as a reduction to revenue resulting in net sales equal to the gross profit on the transaction. Third-party service contracts are sold in different combinations with hardware, software, and services. When ~~the Company is~~we are an agent, revenue is typically recorded at a point in time. When ~~the Company is~~we are the principal, revenue is recognized over the contract term. We have concluded we are the agent in sales of third-party maintenance, software or hardware support, and certain security software that is sold with integral third-party delivered software maintenance that include critical updates.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

When ~~the Company has~~we have performed work but ~~does~~do not have an unconditional right to payment, a contract asset is recorded. When ~~the Company has~~we have the right to bill a customer, accounts receivable is recorded as an unconditional right exists. Current contract assets were ~~$0.8~~$2.6 million and ~~$1.0~~$2.7 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The current portion is recorded in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were ~~no non-current~~0 noncurrent contract assets as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The difference in the balances is due to regular timing differences between when work is performed and having an unconditional right to payment.

Contract liabilities arise when payment is received before ~~the Company transfers~~we transfer a good or service to the customer. Current contract liabilities were ~~$1.2~~$2.2 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.9 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The current portion of contract liabilities is recorded in deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of contract liabilities were ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.4 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. These ~~non-current~~noncurrent liabilities are recorded in other noncurrent ~~liabilities.~~liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the ~~year~~three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 that was included in contract liabilities as of ~~the beginning of the period~~September 30, 2021 was ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million.

Contract Costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract involving customer transactions where the revenue and the related transfer of goods and services are equal to or less than a ~~one-year~~one year period, are expensed as incurred, utilizing the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4. For a period greater than one year, incremental contract costs are capitalized if ~~the Company expects~~we expect to recover these costs. The costs are amortized over the contract term and expected renewal periods. The period of amortization is generally three to six years. Incremental costs are related to commissions in the TS portion of the business. Current capitalized contract costs are within the other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The portion of current capitalized costs were ~~$104~~$116 thousand and ~~$130~~$137 thousand as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. There are ~~no non-current~~0 noncurrent capitalized costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as these commissions are paid annually even when the contract extends beyond a ~~one-year~~one year period. The amount of incremental costs amortized for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ were ~~$87~~$90 thousand and ~~$78~~$87 thousand, respectively. This is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. There was no0 impairment related to incremental costs capitalized during the three months ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized when the costs are related to a contract or anticipated contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and costs are recoverable. Costs to fulfill a contract are related to the TS portion of the business and involve activities performed before managed services can be completed. Current capitalized fulfillment costs are in the other current assets and noncurrent costs are in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The portion of current capitalized costs were $13 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and $13 thousand as of ~~December 31, 2020 and~~ September 30, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021. The portion of noncurrent capitalized costs were $6 thousand and $9 thousand as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020 were $18 thousand and $22 thousand,~~2021, respectively. The amount of fulfillment costs amortized for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 were $3 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively. These costs amortized were recorded in cost of sales. These costs amortized were recorded in cost of sales. There was no0 impairment related to fulfillment costs ~~capitalized.~~capitalized in the three months ended December 31, 2021 or September 30, 2021.

Projects are typically billed upon completion or at certain milestones. Product and services are typically billed when shipped or as services are being performed. Payment terms are typically 30 days to pay in full except in Europe where it could be up to 90 days. Most of ~~the Company’s~~our contracts are less than one year. There are certain contracts that do contain a financing component. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. ~~The Company~~We elected to use the optional exemption to not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less. This is due to a low amount of performance obligations, which are less than one year from being unsatisfied at each period end. Most of these contracts are related to product sales.

5. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net (loss) income ~~(loss)~~ per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the assumed weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

We are required to present earnings per share (“EPS”), utilizing the two class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net loss attributable to common stockholders are as follows:

Non-vested restricted stock awards of ~~190,000~~194 thousand shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the three months ended December 31, ~~2019~~2021. These awards were excluded because there was a net loss for this period and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

6. Accounts and Long-Term Receivable

Within accounts receivable and long-term receivable there are amounts due reflecting sales whose payment terms exceed one year. This financing is separate from agreements with a leasing component, see Note 8, ~~Leases~~“Leases” for financing through leases. These receivables are included in Accounts ~~Receivable~~receivable and ~~Long-Term Receivable~~Long-term receivable in the amount of ~~$2.4~~

~~Table of Contents~~

$5.2 million and ~~$3.4~~$5.6 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These receivables are included in Accounts ~~Receivable~~receivable and ~~Long-Term Receivable~~Long-term receivable in the amount of ~~$2.3~~$6.5 million and ~~$3.5~~$7.5 million as of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

The receivables with a payment term exceeding one year carry an average weighted interest rate of ~~6.2%~~4.8%, which reflects the approximate interest rate consistent with a separate financing transaction with the customer at the inception of the agreement.

There is not an allowance for credit losses nor impairments for accounts and long-term receivables with a contractual maturity of over one year. All accounts have no0 past amounts due as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 or September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. There was no0 activity in the allowance for credit losses of these receivables for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~December 31, 2019,~~2020, respectively. All these agreements are looked at as one portfolio in determining credit losses. There are various factors that are considered in extending a customer payment terms longer than one year including payment history, economic conditions, and capacity to pay. The credit quality of customers is monitored by payment activity. The unearned income represents a rate similar to market at the inception of the agreement.

There was one new agreement effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 causing an increase in accounts and long-term receivable. This agreement included approximately $0.5 million of payments to be received over the next 2 years from the effective date of the agreement. It was determined we were acting as the agent in the transactions and recorded net revenue of approximately $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The amount of interest income earned from sales whose payment terms exceed one year for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ was ~~$92~~$139 thousand and ~~$116~~$92 thousand, respectively. Interest income from these agreements is recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Receivables whose payment terms exceed one year are placed on ~~nonaccrual~~non-accrual status, meaning interest income stops being recorded, when the customer has a past due amount in excess of 30 days or reasonable doubt exists in collecting all interest and principal. A payment due in excess of 30 days is considered delinquent. If a payment is received for a receivable on ~~nonaccrual~~non-accrual status the payment is first applied to interest and then principal. Recording interest income resumes once no reasonable doubt exists regarding collecting all interest and principal.

9. Accounts payable and other noncurrent liabilities

The Company enters into certain multi-year agreements with vendors when also entering into some of the multi-year contracts the Company enters into with customers. See Note 6, “Accounts and Long-Term Receivable” for further information related to the multi-year agreements with customers.

Table of Contents

There was not an interest rate stated in the agreements and therefore interest was imputed under ASC 835 Interest as the payments in the exchange represented two elements: principal and interest. The imputed interest rate for both agreements was determined to be 5.0%. The rate was determined primarily based on the rate the Company could obtain by financing from other sources at the date of the transaction.

Interest expense related to these agreements for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $74 thousand. There was no interest expense during the three months ended December 31, 2020 due to these agreements being effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.

The amounts owed for these agreements are in accounts payable and ~~2019~~other noncurrent liabilities because they are ~~below:~~

The Company had a total of approximately $9.4 million due to one of these vendors as of December 31, 2021. This is approximately 49% of Accounts payable and other noncurrent liabilities. The TS segment has many vendors it transacts with and does not have any specific agreement with this vendor that it must purchase certain products from the vendor. Management believes other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms.

10. Notes Payable and Line of Credit

In September 2019, the Company borrowed $1.0 million with a 5.0% rate of interest related to a multi-year agreement with a customer. See Note 6 for the disclosure related to the receivables.

In October 2019, the Company borrowed $2.0 million with a 5.1% rate of interest related to a multi-year agreement with a customer.

On April 17, 2020, CSP, Inc. and Modcomp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Borrowers”) each received a loan in the form of a promissory note from Paragon Bank (“Lender”) in the amounts of $827,000 and $1,353,600, respectively (the “SBA Loans”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the ~~recently enacted~~ Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The SBA Loans have a two-year term and carry an annual fixed interest rate of 1%.

The SBA Loans provided for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, materially false or misleading representations to Lender or SBA, and adverse changes in the financial condition or business operations that Lender believed could materially affect Borrowers’ ability to pay the SBA

~~Table of Contents~~

Loans. The Borrowers did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the SBA Loans and the Borrowers could prepay the principal of the SBA Loans at any time without penalty.

The Borrowers applied to the Lender for forgiveness of an amount due on the SBA Loans in an amount equal to the sum of certain costs during the 24 week period beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the SBA Loans. The amount of SBA Loans forgiveness was calculated in accordance with the requirements of the PPP, including provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act. We used the SBA Loans proceeds in accordance with the applicable SBA guidelines.

In November 2020, the SBA Loans were formally forgiven. The $2.2 million gain is ~~displayed~~presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations inas Gain on forgiveness of debt for the ~~line item “Gain on extinguishment of debt.”~~three months ended December 31, 2020.

Interest expense related to the notes for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $14 thousand and ~~2019 was~~ $23 thousand, ~~and $30 thousand,~~ respectively. ~~Below are details of the notes payable.~~

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company maintained an inventory line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $15.0 million. It may be used by the TS and HPP segments in the U.S. to purchase inventory from approved vendors with payment terms which exceed those offered by the vendors. NoNaN interest accrues under the inventory line of credit when advances are paid within terms, however, late payments are subject to an interest charge of Prime plus 5%. The credit agreement for the inventory line of credit contains financial covenants which require the Company to maintain the following TS segment-specific financial ratios: (1) a minimum current ratio of 1.2, (2) tangible net worth of no less than $4.0 million, and (3) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to total net worth of less than 5.0:1. As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, Company borrowings, all from the TS segment, under the inventory line of credit were ~~$0.8~~$1.1 million and ~~$1.6~~$0.9 million, respectively, and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021, this line of credit also includes availability of a limited cash withdrawal of up to $1.0 ~~million and $1.5 million, respectively.~~million. As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021 there were no0 cash withdrawals outstanding.

~~10.~~11. Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company’s operations have defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the U.K. and in the U.S. In the U.K., the Company provides defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for some of its employees. In the U.S., the Company provides benefits through supplemental retirement plans to certain former employees. The U.S. supplemental retirement plans have life insurance policies which are not plan assets but were purchased by the Company as a vehicle to fund the costs of the plan. The Company also provides for officer death benefits through post-retirement plans to certain officers of the Company in the U.S. All the Company’s defined benefit plans are closed to newly hired employees and have been since September 2009.

The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s pension plan in the U.K. is the only plan with plan assets. The plan assets consist of an investment in a commingled fund which in turn comprises a diversified mix of assets including corporate equity securities, government securities and corporate debt securities.

~~11.~~12. Income Taxes

An income tax ~~provision~~expense of ~~$110~~$12 thousand was recorded for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 compared to an income tax ~~benefit~~expense of ~~$70~~$110 thousand in the same period of ~~2019.~~2020. The income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by minimum state tax expenses, as the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its operations. The income tax expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2020 was driven by an increase in ~~tax expense is primarily related to~~ the ~~write down of a~~valuation allowance against deferred tax ~~asset as~~assets in the period, offset by a ~~result of the~~benefit recorded for a change in tax law, allowing for the immediate deduction of covered expenses incurred through the Paycheck Protection ~~Program (“PPP”) loan with~~Program.

We have in general historically calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an ~~associated change~~estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full calendar year to ordinary income or loss for the reporting period. However, we used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 because we determined that our ordinary income or loss cannot be reliably estimated and small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the ~~valuation allowance against deferred~~estimated annual effective tax assets from the prior period, offset by the forgiveness of the PPP Loans for which the income is excluded for tax purposes. This additional expense was recorded discretely during the quarter. In the prior period, the Company established a deferred tax asset for these expenses that were expected to be deductible in a future period.rates.

~~The provisions above are estimates, and accordingly, changes to these estimates will be recorded in subsequent periods as more information and guidance becomes available.~~

14. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Under the fair value standards fair value is based on the exit price and defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The

Table of Contents

fair value measurement should reflect all the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy is established in the authoritative guidance outlined in three levels ranking from Level 1 to Level 3 with Level 1 being the highest priority.

Level 1: observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly

Level 3: unobservable inputs (e.g., a reporting entity’s or other entity’s own data)

The Company had no0 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring (except our pension plan assets and whole life insurance policies, see Note ~~10)~~11 for pension plan assets) or non-recurring basis as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 or September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

To estimate fair value of the financial instruments below, quoted market prices are used when available and classified within Level 1. If this data is not available, we use observable market-based inputs to estimate fair value, which are classified within Level 2. If the preceding information is unavailable, we use internally generated data to estimate fair value which is classified within Level 3.

Cash and cash equivalents

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Accounts and long-term receivable with original maturity over one year

Fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows based on the current rate with similar terms.

Line of credit

The fair value of our line of credit is based on borrowing rates currently available to a market participant for loans with similar terms or maturity. The carrying amount of our outstanding revolving line of credit approximates fair value because the base interest rate charged varies with market conditions and the credit spread is commensurate with current market spreads for issuers of similar risk. No interest accrues under the inventory line of credit when advances are paid within terms.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The discussion below contains certain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, among others, statements concerning future revenues and future business plans. Forward-looking statements include statements in which we use words such as “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project”, “estimate”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and thus we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary from those contained in such forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks and uncertainties in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and in this Form 10-Q. Factors that may cause such variances include, but are not limited to, our dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, our high dependence on contracts with the U.S. federal government, our reliance in certain circumstances on single sources for supply of key product components, intense competition in the market segments in which we operate, ~~the recent~~ changes in the U.S. Tax laws, and the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this document. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this filing and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, impairment assessment of intangibles, income taxes, deferred compensation and retirement plans, as well as estimated selling prices used for revenue recognition and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Observations on effects of novel coronavirus ~~(COVID-19)~~

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the novel coronavirus ~~(COVID-19)~~ outbreak as a pandemic. The outbreak has and continues to adversely affect the economies of the U.S., U.K., and other international markets and economies in which we operate. As a result of the World Health Organization characterizing the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, national, state, and local governments have and continue to take actions such as declaring a state of emergency, implementing social distancing and other guidelines, and shutting down and/or limiting the opening or operation of certain businesses which are not considered essential. ~~The~~

In these times of pandemic, our top priorities are to protect the health, well-being, and safety of our employees and partners, while still focusing on the key drivers of our business. To that end, and to insure we continue to operate safely and cautiously while also meeting our public health responsibilities, the Company ~~continues to comply with such actions~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~causing~~has adopted flexible business practices including allowing most employees to work remotely in all locations. ~~Our revenue decreased~~

COVID-19 has adversely affected the distribution channel leading to significantly longer lead times when ordering product. Manufacturers are not producing as much product as prior to the pandemic due to disruptions, resulting in supply shortages. Additionally, recent global shipping delays have exacerbated this problem. The TS segment has many vendors it transacts with and supply shortages are pervasive with many of them. The HPP segment has also experienced shortages with their vendors as well. The HPP segment secured a $1.8 million contract for real-time networking monitoring for cyber attack detection in the ~~three months ended December 31, 2020~~first quarter of fiscal year 2022, but due to the ~~pandemic. This~~delays by manufacturers the sale is ~~largely~~anticipated to be recognized in revenue over the ~~result of customers reducing their budgets. The~~next two years when we can obtain the product from the manufacturers. Related to the supply shortage and potentially inflation, we have experienced price increases for our products, which we try to pass on to the customer.

We recognize the pandemic has ~~also had an adverse effect on our ability~~created a dynamic and uncertain situation in the national economy, and we continue to ~~transact one-on-one business. Due~~closely monitor the latest information to make timely, informed business decisions and public disclosures regarding the ~~uncertainty~~potential impact of the pandemic ~~including but not limited~~on our operations. Despite reduced infection rates and ever-increasing vaccination rates in the United States, many nations and certain pockets within the United States are still battling various strains/variants of the novel coronavirus, creating ongoing uncertainties as to when economies will return to business as usual and what that will look like, what regulatory measures or voluntary actions ~~that have and may~~will be ~~put in place~~further implemented to limit the spread of COVID-19 and its variants and the duration of any such ~~measures, the~~measures. The extent, severity and impact of any further spread of COVID-19 variants or ~~the~~ resurgence of COVID-19 in a given geographic region after it has hit its “peak,” and the extent to which herd immunity will be achieved through the vaccination process is still uncertain. In summary, the scope of this pandemic and its effects are unprecedented, and we cannot at this time ~~we cannot~~ make a reasonable estimate on the extent or duration of the impacts on our business.

Overview of the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021

Our ~~revenues decreased~~sales increased by approximately ~~$5.5~~$1.0 million, or ~~33%~~9%, to $12.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020 as compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.~~2020.

For the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 there was an operating loss of ~~$0.5~~$0.4 million compared to an operating loss of ~~$0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of decreased sales. Other income, (expense) net increased approximately $2.0~~$0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, toprimarily as a result of increased sales from the TS segment, partially offset by the HPP segment. Other income, of(expense) net decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended to December 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. This is primarily due to forgiveness of the Payroll Protection Program loans being forgiven in the prior year, partially offset with a lower foreign exchange rate loss in the current period. An income tax expense of ~~$0.2 million~~$12 thousand was recorded for the three months ended December 31, ~~2019. The primary components~~2021 compared to an income tax expense of ~~Other income, (expense) include an increase from debt forgiveness~~$110 thousand in the same period of ~~loans taken out at each operating segment under the Payroll Protection Program totaling 2.2 million, partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of $0.5 million.~~2020.

In consolidation, U.S. dollars and Euros are remeasured into the functional currency, British Pounds, of our U.K. subsidiary. This non-cash remeasurement is included in foreign exchange gain or loss on the income statement and the foreign exchange loss is primarily from a Euro and U.S. Dollar bank account.

The ~~interest income decrease of $0.1 million~~US dollar and Euro weakened relative to the British Pound for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020 as compared to~~2021, which caused the foreign exchange loss.

The interest income increase of $47 thousand for the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 as compared to the prior year period is primarily related to additional agreements that have payment terms in excess of one year (see Note 6 in Item 1 to this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q)~~10-Q for details) from the TS-US ~~segment.~~segment from the prior year period.

~~Table~~The interest expense increase of ~~Contents~~$67 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year period is related to the TS U.S. division entering into multiple multi-year contracts starting in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, which did not incur interest expense in the first fiscal quarter of the prior year. Payments on these agreements contain both principal and interest expense. See Note 10 in Item 1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details.

Income Taxes

An income tax expense of $12 thousand was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of $110 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2020. The income tax ~~provision was $0.1 million~~expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 is primarily driven by minimum state tax expenses, as the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on their operations. The income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 ~~as compared to income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for the current quarter~~ was ~~8.7%. The effective tax expense rate was primarily~~ driven by an increase in ~~tax expense. This is primarily related to~~ the ~~write off of a~~valuation allowance against deferred tax ~~asset as~~assets in the period, offset by a ~~result of the~~benefit recorded for a change in tax law, allowing for the immediate deduction of covered expenses incurred through the Paycheck Protection ~~Program (“PPP”) loan along with~~Program.

We have in general historically calculated the ~~associated change in valuation allowance against deferred tax assets from the prior period, offset~~provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by ~~the forgiveness~~applying an estimate of the PPP Loans for which the income is excluded for tax purposes. This additional expense was recorded discretely during the quarter. In the prior period, the Company established a deferred tax asset for these expenses that were expected to be deductible in a future period.

~~Generally, fluctuations in the~~annual effective tax rate ~~are primarily due~~for the full calendar year to ordinary income or loss for the reporting period. However, we used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 because we determined that our ordinary income or loss cannot be reliably estimated and small changes in ~~our geographic pretax~~estimated ordinary income ~~resulting from our business mix and~~would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax ~~impact~~rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, which ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million to ~~$19.9~~$19.3 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 from ~~$19.3~~$20.0 million as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Our significant ~~sources~~source of cash for the ~~year~~three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 included an decrease of a ~~decrease~~$1.5 million in accounts receivable ~~of $1.3 million, an increase in accounts payable~~ and ~~accrued expenses of $0.4 million, and an increase in deferred revenue of $0.3 million.~~long-term receivable.

Our significant uses of cash for the ~~year~~three months ended December 31, ~~2020 included net payment on our line~~2021 were primarily related to an increase in other assets of ~~credit~~$0.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.8 million, and ~~an increase in inventories~~research development expenses of approximately $0.6 million.

Our cash held by our foreign subsidiary in the United Kingdom totaled approximately ~~$8.9~~$9.0 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and consisted of ~~0.8~~0.5 million Euros, ~~0.3~~0.1 million British Pounds, and ~~7.4~~8.2 million U.S. Dollars. This cash is included in our total cash and cash equivalents reported within ~~the~~our financial statements.

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021, the Company maintained a line of credit with a capacity of up to $15.0 million for inventory accessible to both the HPP and TS segments. This line of credit also includes availability of a limited cash withdrawal of up to $1.0 million. An amount of ~~$14.2~~$13.9 million and ~~$13.4~~$14.1 million were available as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021 there were no cash withdrawals outstanding. For a further discussion of the Company’s line of credit, including its financial covenants, see Item 1, Note 10 “Notes Payable and Line of Credit.”

If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy working capital requirements, we may need to access funds through bank loans or other means. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we may not be able to complete development or enhancement of products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competition, retain key employees, or continue to effectively operate our business.

On April 17, 2020, the Company and Modcomp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary each received a loan (“SBA Loans”) in the form of a promissory note from Paragon Bank in the amounts of $827,000 and $1,353,600, respectively under the Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA loans had a two-year term and carried an annual fixed interest rate of 1%. The SBA Loans were forgiven in full by the SBA in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Based on our current plans and business conditions, management believes that the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents, ~~the cash received from the SBA loans,~~ the cash generated from operations, and availability on our line of credit will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this ~~report.~~filing.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other members of our senior management team supervised and participated in this evaluation. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the ~~SEC's~~SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the ~~company's~~company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the fact that we are not yet able to conclude that the material weakness described in this Item 4 has been remediated by the changes we made in response to that material weakness.effective.

~~As previously disclosed in Item 9A~~26

Table of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2020, our management identified a material weakness as of such date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be able to be prevented or detected in a timely basis. The identified material weakness is in connection with internal controls over the revenue recognition process, specifically the failure to properly identify whether the Company was to be considered the principal or the agent in certain transactions. We determined that controls over the revenue recognition process were not operating effectively and the resulting control gap amounted to a material weakness in our controls over financial reporting.Contents

During the period following our initial identification of the material weakness referred to above, management assessed various alternatives to remediate this material weakness and we implemented changes to our system of internal controls, which included the implementation of enhanced internal auditing procedures, whereby revenue transactions are subjected to an additional review process at the corporate level to ensure the correct accounting methodology is applied to all revenue transactions. Although we have implemented such changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as described above, at this time, we cannot conclude that the material weakness has been remediated and we will continue to make changes and upgrade systems and processes throughout fiscal year 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial ~~Reporting.~~Reporting

During the ~~year~~three months ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there ~~was a significant change~~were no changes in our internal ~~controls related~~control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to the material weakness discussed above. Internal controls around classifying whether the Company is considered the principal or the agent in transactions have been redesigned and implemented, which are intended to remediate the material weakness.

Prior to these changes, the Company’s primary procedure to find transactions that should be recorded “net” was reliance on a search of key words in the item description and stock-keeping unit. The primarymaterially affect, our internal control failure related to the key words identifying certain items where the Company was the principal, but the item was incorrectly recorded on a net basis. As a result, the primary identifier is not on the reliance of key words. Instead, the new enhanced procedures include review of every line item with additional levels of review from both sales andover financial ~~management.~~reporting.
