General

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 30,2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K,10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 10, 2020. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.10-K. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

Immaterial Correctioncorrection of Prior Period Financial Statementsprior 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 for the year ended 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 quarternine months ended December 31, 2020, June 30, 2021, as the forward contract was settled during this period.the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No.99 – Materiality and No.108Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statement MisstatementStatements 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 June 30, 2021, or the previously issued consolidated balance sheet as of for the year ended September 30, 2020, and therefore the misstatement was corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of for the year ended 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New pronouncements pending adoption

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13,2016-13, 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. 2019-10,2019-10, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326)326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)815) and Leases (Topic 842)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 its 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, managementthe Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

6

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU No.2020-04 provides optional guidance, expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, subject to meeting the criteria, which participate in contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU No.2020-04 was subsequently amended by ASU No.2021-01,Reference Rate Reform (Topic848), Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and permits optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships. The amendments of these updates are available to all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted these amendments. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018,the FASB issued ASU No.2018-13,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 requirements.The amendments on changes in unrealized 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 amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-132018-13 on October 1, 2020, with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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-stepfive-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract(s) with customers

2.

Identify the contract(s) with customersperformance obligations

 

2.3.

IdentifyDetermine the transaction price

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5.

Recognize revenue when 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.

 

8

Product Revenuerevenue

 

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-yearone-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,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-yearone-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 the 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 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 valuerelative stand-alone selling price 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 19, Segment Information and Note 20, Major Customers, Suppliers and Related Information for additional details of revenues by reporting segment and disaggregation of revenue.

 

Contract Assetsassets and Liabilitiesliabilities

 

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 December 31, 2020 June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, including the change between the periods. 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 11, Accrued Liabilities for additional details.

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 December 31, 2020, June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $5,789.$12,185. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $5,514$10,187 or 95%84% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

Practical Expedients 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.

 

 

6.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts 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 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 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:

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 December 31, 2020 June 30, 2021 or September 30, 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.

Nonfinancial assets: Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets held and used, and right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized or for a business combination. 

Goodwill and intangible assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for intangible assets acquired, were based on Level 3 inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of these long-lived assets on a non-recurring basis based on a market valuation approach, engaging independent valuation experts to assist in the determination of fair value.

The following table presents nonfinancial assets that were subject to fair value measurement during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. There were no business combinations or indicators of impairment for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

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) (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 ASC 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 ROURight of Use (“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. 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 $7,815 of operating lease liabilities, and approximately $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 threenine months ended December 31, 2020, June 30, 2021, the Company added an additional operating ROU asset of $248$259 and operating lease liabilityliabilities of $248$259 for office space in connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase.space.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term 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 term 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 has not paid a dividend in fiscal 2021 and did not pay a dividend in fiscal 2021 or in fiscal 2020.

 

As of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2021, there was approximately $1,067$787 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding employee stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.62.1 years.

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 integratedIMNS 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 homeland security and defense sectors as a result of increasing threats to government, commerce, law enforcement, borders, 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 unrest require technologically advanced, multi-channel solutions to deliver clear and timely critical communications to help make and keep 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 mass messaging software, Genasys seeks to deliver reliable, fast, and intuitive solutions for sending location-based audible voice communications and geolocation-targeted messages and texts to mobile devices to help keep the public and employeesworkers 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 by opening sales offices in key regions and adding strategic mass notification partners, distributors, and dealers.

 

We plan to continue building on our AHD leadership position by offering enhanced directionalvoice broadcast 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. 

 

23

In fiscal 2021, we intend to continue to 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 fiscal 2020 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 threenine months ended December 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, we have been monitoringmonitor the developments and assessingassess 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 could 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 have $19.6$14.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, which we believe provides sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months and withstand the potential 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.

 

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.

 

30

A large number of components and sub-assemblies producedmanufactured 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. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted worldwide supply chains and the ability to obtain sufficient amounts of component parts, including semiconductor chips and integrated circuits, resins, coating and other equipment and components. Negative impacts on our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are in contact with thoseour 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, 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.

Revenues

Revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to the timing of deliveries in backlog as of March 31, 2021, as compared with March 31, 2020. Current year quarter AHD revenue was $11,420, software revenue was $752 and IMNS revenue was $455. This represented increases of $961, or 9%, for AHD and $380, or 102% for software offset by a decrease of $685, or 60% for IMNS revenue compared with the same prior year period. The receipt of orders is often uneven due to the timing of government budgets or approvals. The increase in software revenue in this year’s period is primarily from professional services revenue on new software contracts and the sale of a software license to one customer. As of June 30, 2021, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $1,092 for extended warranty obligations and software support agreements.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in the quarter compared with the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the higher level of revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was lower in the fiscal 2021 third quarter due to a 61% increase in engineering personnel, primarily software related. Higher software expenses were due to the recent additions of Amika Mobile (through our Canadian subsidiary Genasys Communication Canada) and Zonehaven, and additional employees to support the Australia, EU and enterprise software initiatives.

As our products have varying gross margins, 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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,446, or 43%, over the prior year quarter primarily due to a 79% increase in sales and marketing personnel over the prior year to support future revenue growth opportunities, including opening sales offices in Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Puerto Rico. Additional sales and administrative personnel were added through two acquisitions this fiscal year.

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three-months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 of $424 and $311, respectively.

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities, including the June 2022 European Public Warning Systems mandate and enterprise software services. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $190 compared with the same quarter in the prior year. The higher cost was due to increases in engineering personnel and expending more engineering labor in support of development activities compared to the prior year period.

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $12 and $6, respectively, of non-cash share-based compensation costs.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, the amount of support provided on customer projects, and the timing and use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we expect to continue to expand 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 2021 was $290, a decrease of $1,214 compared with the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. The decrease was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, offsetting the higher revenue and gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020as of June 30, 2021, was $19,584,$14,540, down $3,735$8,779, compared towith $23,319 atas of September 30, 2020, primarily due to the Amika Mobile asset purchase.2020. We had short-term marketable securities of $5,517 at December 31, 2020,$5,976 as of June 30, 2021, compared towith $4,265 atas of September 30, 2020. We had long-term marketable securities of $2,419 at December 31, 2020,$2,297 as of June 30, 2021, compared towith $3,805 atas of September 30, 2020. In addition, we have a $10 million line of credit with MUFG bank. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding balances against the line of credit. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and operating covenants and as of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. 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 and the line of credit, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

 

Although there is uncertainty related to the anticipated impact of the recent COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s future results, we believe our efficient business model and strong balance sheet keep 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; and

 

•         value of dividends declared.declared;

•         impact of COVID-19 on global market conditions; and

•         impact of COVID-19 on customers’ ability to pay.

 

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

 

•         volatility in the capital markets; and

 

•         market price and trading volume of our common stock.

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.

We regularly provide thirty-day terms to our customers if credit is approved. Our receivables can vary dramatically due to overall sales volume, quarterly variations in sales, timing of shipments to and receipts from large customers, payment terms and the timing of contract payments.

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. Currency translation gains and losses are primarily related to our Spanish and Canadian subsidiaries, whereby assets and liabilities are translated from the respective functional currency into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, which impacts other comprehensive income.

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 

Item4.Controls and Procedures.

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 December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, 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.

Item 5.

Item1A.Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on December 10, 2020, except for those noted below:

Supply chain disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted worldwide supply chains and the ability to obtain sufficient amounts of component parts, including semiconductor chips and integrated circuits, resins, coating and other equipment and components. Negative impacts on our supply change could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Reference rate reform. Borrowings under our credit facility with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. will bear an interest rate based on certain tenors of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that, after 2021, it will stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR. The discontinuation, reform, or replacement of LIBOR could result in interest rate increases, which could adversely affect our cash flows and operating results.

Zonehaven acquisition. Our ability to recognize the expected synergies and other benefits of the Zonehaven acquisition, difficulties in integrating Zonehaven post-closing, diversion of management time addressing post-closing transaction-related issues, uncertainties related to litigation involving the acquisition of Zonehaven, uncertainties related to unanticipated integration costs or undisclosed liabilities assumed, uncertainties related to the acceptance of the Zonehaven acquisition and its products by third parties.
