2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 20192020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 10, 2019.2020. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 20192020 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 20192020 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company has threeseven wholly owned subsidiaries, Genasys II Spain, S.A.U.S.A.U (“Genasys Spain”), Genasys Communications Canada ULC, Genasys Singapore PTE Ltd, Genasys Puerto Rico, LLC and Genasys Inc. (branch) in the United Arab Emirates and two currently inactive subsidiaries, Genasys America de CV and LRAD International Corporation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of these subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2020 the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $19,584. At September 30, 2020 the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $23,319.

The Company considers any amounts pledged as collateral or otherwise restricted for use in current operations to be restricted cash. In addition, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents designated to fund specific future contractual obligations related to business combinations to be restricted cash. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset unless amounts are not expected to be released and available for use in operations within one year. At December 31, 2020 the current portion of restricted cash was $295 and the noncurrent portion was $1,180. At September 30, 2020 the current portion of restricted cash was $270 and the noncurrent portion was $395.

Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Company management identified an immaterial error in the previously issued September 30, 2020 consolidated balance sheet. This error resulted in an overstatement of prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities of $5,205 related to a foreign currency forward contract which was presented on a gross basis rather than on a net basis. There was no impact to the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows as of September 30, 2020, as a result of this misstatement. Further, there was no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, as the forward contract was settled during this period. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 99 – Materiality and No. 108 – Financial Statement Misstatement were used by management to evaluate the impact of the misstatement. Management concluded that this misstatement had no material impact on either the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 or the previously issued consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, and therefore the misstatement was corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. All financial information contained in the accompanying notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements has been revised to reflect the correction of this error.

Reclassifications

 

Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New pronouncements pending adoption

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which extends the effective date of Topic 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not completed its review of the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. However, based on the Company’s history of immaterial credit losses from trade receivables, management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New pronouncements adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard was effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. Subsequently the FASB has issued additional guidance (ASUs 2015-14; 2016-08; 2016-10; 2016-12; 2016-13; 2016-20). The adoption of this guidance by the Company, effective October 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 4, Revenue Recognition, for further detail). ASU No. 2014-09 and its amendments form Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).

New pronouncements adopted

In FebruaryAugust 2018the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, 2018Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves fair value disclosure requirements by removing disclosures that are not cost beneficial, clarifying disclosures’ specific requirements and adding relevant disclosure requirementsThe amendments on changes in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulatedunrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other comprehensive incomeamendments should be applied retrospectively to retained earningsall periods presented upon their effective date. The new guidance is effective for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The guidance was effectiveall entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including2019, and interim periods within thatthose fiscal year. Accordingly, this was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which issued new guidance related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a manner similar to the guidance for operating leases prior to the adoption of Topic 842. Topic 842 requires entities to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which offers a practical expedient that allows entities the option to apply the provisions of Topic 842 by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment at the effective date of adoption without adjusting the prior comparative periods presented. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, which explicitly provides disclosure relief for interim periods during the year the standard is adopted.

The new guidance was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019.years. The Company adopted Topic 842 by applying the modified retrospective transition approach. Under this method, financial information related to periods prior to adoption will be as originally reported under the then-current standard (Topic 840, Leases). The Company elected the following practical expedients:

The transitional practical expedients, which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all leases. In electing this practical expedient package, the Company is not required to:

 o

reassess whether an existing or expired contract is or contains a lease;

 o

reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

 o

reassess initial direct lease costs for all leases that commenced before the adoption.

Short-term lease practical expedient in which the Company can elect not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases.

As a result of adopting Topic 842 effectiveASU No. 2018-13 on October 1, 2019, the Company recorded an initial measurement of $7,814,701 of operating lease liabilities and $5,823,972 of corresponding operating Right of Use (“ROU”) assets, net of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent, primarily related2020, with no impact to the Company’s facility lease. There was no other impact from the adoption of Topic 842. A portion of the existing leases are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, the associated lease liabilities will be remeasured using the current exchange rate in the applicable reporting periods, which may result in foreign exchange gains or losses. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the transition to Topic 842. See Note 12, Leases for further disclosures related to Topic 842.condensed consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

On October 2, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the assets of Amika Mobile Corporations (“Amika Mobile”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. Amika Mobile is a leading provider of integrated emergency critical communications based in Ottawa, Canada. The Company believes the Amika Mobile asset purchase will expand the Company’s enterprise software solutions and enhance the Company’s unified multi-channel critical communications platform.

The Amika Mobile asset purchase was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC Topic 805. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the purchase consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. The estimated fair value of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value.

The consideration consisted of the following:

Cash paid

 $4,367 

Asset purchase holdback liability

  613 

Common stock to be issued

  3,431 
  $8,411 

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to deposit a holdback liability in the amount of CAD$1,000 into an interest-bearing account as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. The holdback amount will be released three years from the closing date subject to amounts withheld for actual, pending or potential claims. The Company also agreed to issue 191,267 shares of the Company’s common stock to the former owners of Amika Mobile on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. The total number of shares of common stock the Company is obligated to issue is 573,801. The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date was $5.98, resulting in an addition of $3,431 to additional paid-in-capital. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash on hand.

The Company incurred $242 in expenses related to this transaction, through December 31, 2020. These expenses were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows: $10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, $132 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and $100 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Identifiable intangible assets consist of certain technology and customer relationships purchased from Amika Mobile. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives based upon a number of assumptions including the estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets acquired is 7 years. These intangible assets are classified as Level 3 in the ASC Topic 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy.

The goodwill for Amika Mobile is attributable to combining the Company’s existing emergency communications solutions with the software and software development capabilities of Amika Mobile to enhance product offerings. Goodwill is also attributable to the skill level of the acquired workforce. The Company will continue to analyze the transaction and refine its calculations, as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Goodwill from the Amika Mobile asset purchase will not be deductible for tax purposes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company adopted the guidance in Topic 606 on October 1, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard using the full retrospective approach.

 

Topic 606 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract(s) with customers

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations

 

3.

Determine the transaction price

 

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

 

5.

Recognize revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied

 

Topic 606 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products to customers, contracts, license fees, other services and freight. The Company sells its products through its direct sales force and through authorized resellers and system integrators. The Company recognizes revenue for goods including software when all the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, no continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership of the goods is retained, no effective control over the goods sold is retained, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Software license revenue, maintenance and/or software development service fees may be bundled in one arrangement or may be sold separately.

 

78

 

Product Revenue

 

Product revenue is recognized as a distinct single performance obligation when products are tendered to a carrier for delivery, which represents the point in time that the Company’s customer obtains control of the products. A smaller portion of product revenue is recognized when the customer receives delivery of the products. A portion of products are sold through resellers and system integrators based on firm commitments from an end user, and as a result, resellers and system integrators carry little or no inventory. The Company’s customers do not have a right to return product unless the product is found defective and therefore the Company’s estimate for returns has historically been insignificant

 

Perpetual licensed software

 

The sale and/or license of software products is deemed to have occurred when a customer either has taken possession of or has the ability to take immediate possession of the software and the software key. Perpetual software licenses can include one-year maintenance and support services. In addition, the Company sells maintenance services on a stand-alone basis and is therefore capable of determining their fair value. On this basis, the amount of the embedded maintenance is separated from the fee for the perpetual license and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period to which the maintenance relates.

 

Time-based licensed software

 

The time-based license agreements include the use of a software license for a fixed term, generally one-year, and maintenance and support services during the same period. The Company does not sell time-based licenses without maintenance and support services and therefore revenues for the entire arrangements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term.

 

Warranty, maintenance and services

 

The Company offers extended warranty, maintenance and other services. Extended warranty and maintenance contracts are offered with terms ranging from one to several years, which provide repair and maintenance services after expiration of the original one-year warranty term. Revenues from separately priced extended warranty and maintenance contracts are recognized based on time elapsed over the service period, and classified as contract and other revenues. Revenue from other services such as training or installation is recognized when the service is completed.

 

Multiple element arrangements

 

The Company has entered into a number of multiple element arrangements, such as the sale of a product or perpetual licenses that may include maintenance and support (included in price of perpetual licenses) and time-based licenses (that include embedded maintenance and support, both of which may be sold with software development services, training, and other product sales). In some cases, the Company delivers software development services bundled with the sale of the software. In multiple element arrangements, the Company uses either the stand-alone selling price or an expected cost-pluscost plus margin approach to determine the fair value of each element within the arrangement, including software and software-related services such as maintenance and support. In general, elements in such arrangements are also sold on a stand-alone basis and stand-alone selling prices are available.

 

Revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on the fair value of each individual element and is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above are met, except for time-based licenses which are not unbundled. When software development services are performed and are considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue from the software development services on a stage of completion basis, and the revenue from the software when the related development services have been completed.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue by reporting segment (Hardware and Software) and geographically to depict the nature of revenue in a manner consistent with the Company’s business operations and to be consistent with other communications and public filings. Refer to Note 18,19, Segment Information and Note 19,20, Major Customers, Suppliers and Related Information for additional details of revenues by reporting segment and disaggregation of revenue.

 

 Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company enters into contracts to sell products and provide services and recognizes contract assets and liabilities that arise from these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue and corresponding accounts receivable according to Topic 606 and, at times, recognizes revenue in advance of the time when contracts give the Company the right to invoice a customer. The Company may also receive consideration, per terms of a contract, from customers prior to transferring goods to the customer. The Company records customer deposits as a contract liability. Additionally, the Company may receive payments, most typically for service and warranty contracts, at the onset of the contract and before the services have been performed. In such instances, a deferred revenue liability is recorded. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after all revenue recognition criteria are met. The table below shows the balance of contract assets and liabilities as of June 30,December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019,2020, including the change between the periods. There were no contract assets as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. The current portion of contract liabilities and the non-current portion are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities, noncurrent”, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 10,11, Accrued Liabilities for additional details.

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations related to Topic 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations under an original contract with a term greater than one year, which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period.

 

As of June 30,December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $6,681,891.$5,789. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $6,298,478$5,514 or 94%95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

 

 Practical Expedients 

 

In cases where the Company is responsible for shipping after the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company has elected to treat these activities as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company has elected to capitalize the cost to obtain a contract only if the period of amortization would be longer than one year. The Company only gives consideration to whether a customer agreement has a financing component if the period of time between transfer of goods and services and customer payment is greater than one year. The Company also utilizes the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value the Company is providing to the customer.

 

 

5.6.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable accounts payable and notesaccounts payable. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1:     Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2:     Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.

Level 3:     Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities was determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company did not have any marketable securities in the Level 3 category as of June 30,December 31, 2020 or September 30, 2019.2020. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations and that interest rates approximate market rates.durations.

Foreign currency forward contract: In August 2020, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract as an economic hedge against exposure to changes in the Canadian dollar in connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase. At September 30, 2020, the notional value of the foreign currency forward contract was CAD$6,955 with a maturity date in October 2020. The foreign currency forward contract was fair valued at $76 and classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value were based on quoted market prices. On October 1, 2020, the foreign currency forward contract was settled for CAD$6,955 (USD$5,281), resulting in a realized loss of $48 on the contract that was recorded in earnings as other income (expense). The estimated foreign currency forward contract liability was recorded in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

13.LEASES

LEASES

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The guidance in Topic 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Additionally, the portfolio approach is used in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. The operating ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred.

 

The Company entered into operating leases for office and production facilities and equipment under agreements that expire at various dates through 2028. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new lease standard. In electing the practical expedient package, the Company is not required to reassess whether an existing or expired contract is or contains a lease, reassess the lease classification for expired or existing leases nor reassess the initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the adoption of Topic 842. The Company also elected the short-term lease exemption such that the new lease standard was applied to leases greater than one year in duration. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

For leases beginning on or after October 1, 2019, lease components are accounted for separately from non-lease components for all asset classes. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal provisions and escalating rental clauses and generally require the Company to pay utilities, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses. The renewal provisions of existing lease agreements were not included in the determination of the operating lease liabilities and the operating ROU assets. Variable payments such as excess usage fees on existing equipment leases were not included in the determination of the lease liabilities and the operating ROU assets as the achievement of the specified target that triggers the variable lease payment is not considered probable. In addition, the Company’s facility lease in Spain has an escalating lease clause based on a consumer price index which is considered a variable lease payment and is not included in the determination of the lease liability and operating ROU asset. A 10% increase in the index would increase the total lease liability approximately $19,000.$19. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

Upon adoption of Topic 842 as of October 1, 2019, the Company recognized on its consolidated balance sheet an initial measurement of approximately $7,814,701$7,815 of operating lease liabilities, and approximately $5,823,972$5,824 of corresponding operating ROU assets, net of tenant improvement allowances. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the transition to Topic 842. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company added an additional operating ROU asset of $248 and operating lease liability of $248 for office space in connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase. The tables below show the initial measurement of the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2019September 30, 2020 and the balances as of June 30,December 31, 2020, including the changes during the periods.

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s employee stock options have various restrictions that reduce option value, including vesting provisions and restrictions on transfer and hedging, among others, and are often exercised prior to their contractual maturity.

 

There were 215,000 stock options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2020. There were 1,133,727 stock options granted during the nine months ended June 30,fiscal 2020. There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2020 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions (annualized percentages):

 

Volatility

44.5%

Risk Free Interest Rate

1.40%

Forfeiture rate

10.0%

Dividend Yield

0.0%

Expected life in years

Forfeiture rate

  3.8%  10.0%

Dividend yield

  0.0%  0.0%

Expected term

  6.9   5.0 

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected lifeterm of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The contractual term of the options was seven years. The expected lifeterm is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Such revision adjustments to expense will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company did not pay a dividend in fiscal 2019.2021 or in fiscal 2020.

 

As of June 30,December 31, 2020, there was approximately $378,436$1,067 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding employee stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.022.6 years. To the extent the forfeiture rate is different from what the Company anticipated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations.

 

Performance-Based Stock Options

 

On August 1, 2016, the Company awarded a performance-based stock option (PVO) to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a key executive, with a contractual term of seven years. At the grant date, there were 375,000 performance-based stock options assigned to performance criteria within each of fiscal 2019 and 2020. Vesting is based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria for each of fiscal 2019 and 2020 including a minimum free cash flow margin and net revenue targets. Additionally, vesting is subject to the executive being employed by the Company at the time the Company achieves such financial targets.  As of September 30,

The Company determined that certain performance conditions related to the 2019 and 2020 performance criteria were achieved. 187,500 of the options related to the 2019 performance criteria vested and 375,000 options related to the 2020 performance criteria vested.

Overview

On October 23, 2019, LRAD Corporation announced its rebranding as Genasys Inc. (“Genasys”). Genasys is a global provider of critical communications hardware and software solutions designed to help keep people safe.  Our unified mass notification platform providesencompasses a multi-channel approach to deliver alerts, notifications, instructions and information before, during and after public safety and enterprise threats, critical business events and other crisis situations.

 

Our multi-channel approach includes:

 

LRAD® (Long Range Acoustic Device®), the world’s leading Acoustic Hailing Device (“AHD”), projects sirens and audible voice messages with exceptional vocal clarity in a 30° beam from close range to 5,500 meters.

LRADGEM™ (Genasys Emergency Management) ® (Long Range Acoustic Device®)is our unified software platform for cloud, on-premise or hybrid operations that supports 2-way communications and seamlessly integrates with physical systems that project sirens and audible voice messages with exceptional vocal clarity in a 30° beam from close range out to 5,500 meters;

CCaaS (Critical Communications as a Service)softwarethat provides a reliable, fast and intuitive solution for sending SMS, text, email and social media messages to mobile devicesinitiate life-safety actions in defined geographic areas, and;areas. GEM receives and manages simultaneous inputs from panic buttons, government agency or weather alert feeds, sensor events from digital thermometers, access control, fire panels, camera systems, and more. Using the information derived from the inputs, GEM delivers alerts and notifications on multiple channels, including SMS, MMS, desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone pop-ups, social media, VoIP, callouts, public address, overhead displays, digital signs, tickers, RSS feeds and email on any platform.

 

Integrated Mass Notification Solutions that span multiple hardware and software mobile notification channels.channels to reach at risk individuals and populations. These solutions include the Company’s proprietary speakerGenasys voice arrays, which project sirens and audible voice messages 60° - 360° directionally with industry-leading vocal clarity from close range to more than 14 square kilometers, and area coverage, and CCaaSGEM software designed to deliver SMS, text, email and social media alerts to mobile devicespeople at risk in defined geographic areas. Our integrated solutions are compatible with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’sAgency (“FEMA”) Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (“IPAWS”) and other major emergency warning protocols.

 

The Company’s critical communication systems are being used in 72 countries throughout the world in a range of diverse applications, including public safety, emergency warning, mass notification, defense, law enforcement, critical event management, and many more. We continue to develop new communication innovations and believe we have significant competitive advantages in our principal markets.

 

LRAD systems arerepresent a technological breakthrough in broadcasting audible, highly intelligible voice messages and tones over long distances and high ambient noise using minimal power. By broadcasting audible voice messages with exceptional vocal clarity and only where needed, we offer novel sound applications that conventional bullhorns, loudspeakers, public address and emergency warning systems cannot achieve. Our LRAD systems are designed to enable users to safely hail and warn, inform and direct, prevent misunderstandings, determine intent, establish large safety zones, resolve uncertain situations and save lives. The LRAD product line is comprised of a full range of acoustic hailing devices (“AHD”)AHDs and communication solutions - from handheld, portable devices to permanently installed, remotely operated systems. We continue to expand into new markets and add new models and features to meet customer requirements.

 

Building on the success of our LRAD systems, we designed and developed our multidirectional Genasys mass notification product line. Unlike siren-only installations, our public safety mass notification (“PSMN”) hardware systems broadcast both emergency warning sirens and highly intelligible voice messages with uniform 60° - 360° coverage over local and wide areas. We believe our ability to shape the broadcast coverage area, our industry-leading speech intelligibility, and our multiple system activation and control options enable us to successfully compete in the large and growing mass notification market.

Overall Business Outlook

 

Our product line-up continues to gain worldwide awareness and recognition through media exposure, product demonstrations, and word of mouth as a result of positive responses and increased acceptance of our products. We believe we have a solid global brand, technology, and product foundation with our LRAD systems and integrated solutions, which we have expanded over the years to serve new markets and customers for greater business growth.  We believe that we have strong market opportunities for our product offerings throughout the world in the defense, public safety, emergency warning, mass notification, critical event managementhomeland security and law enforcementdefense sectors as a result of increasing threats to government, commerce, law enforcement, homeland securityborders, and critical infrastructure. Our directional and multidirectional product offerings also have many applications within the fire rescue, public safety, maritime, asset protection, and wildlife control and preservation business segments.

 

The proliferation of natural disasters, crisis situations and civil disturbancesunrest require technologically advanced, multi-channel solutions to deliver clear and timely critical communications to help make and keep people safe.the public safe during emergencies. Businesses are also incorporating communication systems that locate and help safeguard employees when critical events occur.

 

By providing the only unified platform that combines audible, highly intelligible voice broadcast systems and CCaaSmass messaging software, Genasys seeks to deliver reliable, fast and intuitive solutionsolutions for sending location-based audible voice communications and geolocation-targeted messages and texts to mobile devices to help keep the public and employees safe.

 

Genasys has developed a global market for LRAD systems and advanced emergency warning notification solutions. We have a reputation for producing quality products that feature industry-leading vocal intelligibility and geo-targeted mass messaging. While the mass notification market is more mature with many established manufacturers and suppliers, we believe that our advanced technology and unified multi-channel platform provides opportunities to succeed in the large and growing public safety, emergency warning and mass notification markets. We also plan to expand and strengthen domestic and international sales channels by opening sales offices in key regions and adding keystrategic mass notification partners, distributors, and dealers.

 

We plan to continue building on our AHD leadership position by offering enhanced directional and multidirectional voice broadcast systems and accessories for an expanding range of applications. In executing our strategy, we use direct sales to governments, militaries, large end-users and system integrators. We have built a worldwide distribution channel consisting of partners and resellers that have significant expertise and experience selling integrated communication solutions into our various target markets. As our primary AHD sales opportunities are with domestic and international government, military and law enforcement agencies, we are subject to each customer’s unique budget cycle, which leads to long selling cycles and uneven revenue flow, complicating our product planning. 

 

2423

 

In fiscal 2020,2021, we intend to continue pursuingto pursue domestic and international business opportunities with the support of business development consultants, key representatives and resellers. We plan to grow our revenues through increased direct sales to militaries and large commercial and defense-related companies that desire to integrate our communication technologies into their product offerings. This includes building on our fiscal 20192020 domestic defense sales by pursuing further U.S. military opportunities. We also plan to pursue mass notification, government, law enforcement, fire rescue, homeland and international security, private and commercial security, border security, maritime security, and wildlife preservation and control business opportunities. In addition to the matters above, we are authorized for the performance of services and provision of goods pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law.  

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations for the quarterthree months ended June 30,December 31, 2020, we have been monitoring the developments and assessing areas where there is potential for our business to be impacted. A significant portion of our sales force is working remotely, which could, among other things, negatively impact our ability to engage in sales-related initiatives, or efficiently conduct day-to-day operations. Other businesses and governments with which we engage are likely operating under similar restrictions and experiencing disruptions, which may create obstacles in the coordination of business activities, including the negotiation and fulfillment of orders. Disruptions in the supply chain could negatively impact our ability to source materials or manufacture and distribute products. While we do not currently anticipate a material reduction in demand for our commercialized products, we could experience a decrease in new orders, which wouldcould negatively impact our revenues and reduce our liquidity and cash flows. Growth in revenue could also be impeded by these factors. The financial markets have been subject to significant volatility that could impact our ability to enter into, modify, and negotiate favorable terms and conditions relative to equity and debt financing activities. We currently have $20.7$19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30,December 31, 2020, which we believe provides sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months and withstand the anticipatedpotential near-term consequences of the pandemic, although liquidity constraints and access to capital markets could adversely impact our liquidity and warrant changes to our investment strategy. While we have not yet experienced a material impact, the full magnitude of the pandemic cannot be measured at this time, and therefore, any of the aforementioned circumstances, as well as other factors, may cause our results of operations to vary substantially from year to year and quarter to quarter.

The large majority of components and sub-assemblies in our supply chain are sourced from outside vendors located within 50 miles of our facility. We source a small number of component parts from suppliers in China. It is also likely that some of our suppliers source parts from China. We are in contact with those suppliers and evaluating what impact, if any, may result from the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Based on various standards published to date, we believe the work our associates perform is critical, essential and life sustaining. We are taking a variety of measures to promote the safety and security of our employees while ensuring the availability and functionality of our critical infrastructure. We are following Center for Disease Control guidelines to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, cancellation of events, the promotion of social distancing, the adoption of work-from-home arrangements, and limiting access to our facilities. Some or all of these policies and initiatives could impact our operations. In addition, the following events related to the COVID-19 pandemic could result in lost or delayed revenue to the Company: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic, or local, state or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; unforeseen deviations from customers or foreign governments restricting the ability to do business; and, limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis, if at all.

A large number of components and sub-assemblies produced by outside suppliers within our supply chain are produced within 50 miles of our facility. We source a small amount of component parts from suppliers in China. It is also likely that some of our suppliers source parts in China. We are in contact with those suppliers and evaluating what impact, if any, may result from COVID-19.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.2020. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The tabletables above sets forth for the periods indicated certain items of our condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes contained in this report.

Revenues

Revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year due to the timing of deliveries in backlog as of March 31, 2020, as compared to March 31, 2019. Current year quarter LRAD AHD product line revenue was $10,464,308, an increase of $5,586,728 compared to the same prior year period. PSMN systems product line revenue was $1,506,788, down $2,479,358 compared to the same prior year period. The receipt of orders is often uneven due to the timing of government budgets or approvals. As of June 30, 2020, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $915,083 for extended warranty obligations and software support agreements.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the higher level of revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was higher in the fiscal 2020 third quarter due to higher revenue in the period, which further leveraged our fixed operating costs.

Our products have varying gross margins, so product mix may affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

26

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $617,519 over the prior year quarter primarily due to increased spending for compensation related expenditures ($552,611) and professional services ($271,947) offset by lower travel related expenses ($129,849).

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 of $310,997 and $242,660, respectively.

We expect increased spending on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities, including the June 2022 European Union Public Warning Systems Mandate (European Electronic Communications Code, Article 110). Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased $3,051 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to the allocation of $160,000 of engineering expenses to cost of revenues and lower development material costs ($48,277), offset by higher compensation related expenses ($193,604) due to an increase of eight engineers this year. We continue to expand our software development efforts to grow our emergency warning solutions product offerings.

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $6,167 and $11,279, respectively, of non-cash share-based compensation costs.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, and the timing and use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we expect to continue expanding our product line with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we may expend additional resources on research and development in the current year compared to the prior year.

Net Income

Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was $1,504,077, an increase of $866,036 compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Gross Profit

 

The increasedecrease in gross profit compared to the same period in the nine months ended June 30, 2020prior year was primarily due to a better mix oflower hardware revenue, offset by $271,000 ofan 86% increase in software engineering personnel over last year and additional engineering charges resulting from a more precise process to charge engineering costsexpenses to cost of revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased 1% comparedsales in the current fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30,December 31, 2020 was $20,667,934, an increase of $1,848,856$19,584, down $3,735 compared to $18,819,078$23,319 at September 30, 2019.2020, primarily due to the Amika Mobile asset purchase.

Other than cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, other working capital and expected future cash flows from operating activities in subsequent periods, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

 

Although there is uncertainty related to the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s future results, we believe our efficient business model and strong balance sheet have us positioned to manage our business through this crisis as it continues to unfold. We continue to manage all aspects of our business including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships and developing new opportunities for growth.

Principal factors that could affect our liquidity include:

 

ability to meet sales projections;

government spending levels;

introduction of competing technologies;

product mix and effect on margins;

ability to reduce current inventory levels;

product acceptance in new markets;

value of shares repurchased;

value of dividends declared;

Based on our current cash position, and assuming currently planned expenditures and level of operations, we believe we have sufficient capital to fund operations for the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance of the interim financial information. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal. The transactions of our Spanish subsidiary are denominated primarily in Euros and the transactions of our Canadian subsidiary are denominated primarily in Canadian dollars, which is a natural hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. All other sales to customers and all arrangements with third-party manufacturers, with one exception, provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect our business in the future.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30,December 31, 2020.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

 

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

 

In addition toAs a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the other information set forthExchange Act and in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risksitem 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and uncertainties discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A, Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-Ktherefore are not required to provide the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be not material also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. We are including the following additional risk factor, which updates the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. In addition, many of the risk factors in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, will be amplifiedinformation requested by the following additional risk factor.this item.

 

Global economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations.

The Company is monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which has already caused a significant disruption to global financial markets and supply chains, beginning in early calendar year 2020. The significance of the operational and financial impact to the Company will depend on how long and widespread this disruption proves to be. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and the actions that are being taken to contain and treat it. There is uncertainty around the duration and broader impact of COVID-19 and therefore, the effects it will have on the Company’s financial results and operations. If economic or market conditions in key global markets deteriorate, the Company may experience material adverse effects on its business, financial condition and results from operations.

Factors deriving from the COVID-19 response that may negatively impact sales and gross margin in the future include but are not limited to: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to customers; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.
