NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned (collectively, the “Company” or “we”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s reportable segments are Wireless Infrastructure Services (“Wireless”) and Telecommunications (“Telco”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements not misleading. 
The Company’s business is subject to certain seasonal variations due to weather in the geographic areas thatwhere services are performed, and to a certain extent due toas well as calendar events and national holidays. Therefore, the results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that theseThese unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

2020.
Reclassification

The Company changed its presentation of cost of sales and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations.  During fiscal year 2020, the Company reviewed its financial reporting of expenses in connection with its current operating segments in order to enhance the usefulness of the presentation of the Company’s expenses. Based on that review, the Company reclassified certain expenses into operating expenses for presentation purposes.  Operating expenses include the indirect costs associated with operating our businesses.  Indirect costs are costs that are not directly attributable to projects or products, which would include indirect personnel costs, facility costs, vehicles, insurance, communication, and business taxes, among other less significant cost categories.  These costs were previously recorded in either costs of sales or operating, selling, general and administrative expenses in prior periods.  Additionally, the Company reclassified depreciation and amortization from operating, selling, general and administrative expenses into its own financial statement line item in the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include overhead costs, which primarily consist of personnel costs, insurance, professional services, and communication, among other less significant cost categories. TheCertain prior period hasamounts have been reclassified to conform with theto current period’s presentation of costs of sales, operating expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization.year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13: “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”  This ASU requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. EntitiesUpon adoption, entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 isOn November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of the standard for annual periodscompanies that qualify under smaller reporting company reporting rules. As amended, the effective date of ASC Topic 326 was delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal periods.2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the Securities and Exchange Commission definition.

The timing of revenue recognition from the wireless segment results in contract assets and contract liabilities.  Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets.  However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.  Contract assets and contract liabilities are included in Unbilledunbilled revenue and Deferreddeferred revenue, respectively, in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, contract assets were $0.7$0.9 million and $2.7$0.6 million, respectively, and contract liabilities were $0.2$0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company recognized the entire $0.1 million of contract revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 related to contract liabilities recorded in Deferreddeferred revenue at September 30, 2019.2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $0.5 million of revenue in its Wireless segment associated with adjustments to constrained variable consideration from change orders related to several projects for which the costs had been recognized in prior quarters.

Note 3 – Accounts Receivable Agreements

The Company’s Wireless segment has entered into various agreements, including one agreement with recourse, to sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. For the agreement with recourse, the Company is responsible for collecting payments on the sold receivables from its customers. Under this agreement, the third-party financial institution advances the Company 90% of the sold receivables and establishes a reserve of 10% of the sold receivables until the Company collects the sold receivables. As the Company collects the sold receivables, the third-party financial institution will remit the remaining 10% to the Company. At June 30, 2020,2021, the third-party financial institution has a reserve against the sold receivables of $0.1 million, which is reflected as restricted cash.cash, against the sold receivables of $0.9 million. For the receivables sold under the agreement with recourse, the agreement addresses events and conditions which may obligate the Company to immediately repay the institution the outstanding purchase price of the receivables sold. The total amount of receivables uncollected by the institution was $0.5$0.9 million at June 30, 20202021 for which there is a limit of $4.0 million. Although the sale of receivables is with recourse, the Company did not record a recourse obligation at June 30, 20202021 as the Company concluded that the sold receivables are collectible. The other agreements without recourse are under programs offered by certain customers in the Wireless segment.

9

For the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Company received proceeds from the sold receivables under all of the various agreements of $15.9$12.9 million and $9.9$15.9 million, respectively, and included the proceeds in net cash used in operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The fees associated with selling these receivables ranged from 1.0%0.7% to 1.8%2.4% of the gross receivables sold for the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. The Company recorded costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, in other expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations.operations.

The Company accounts for these transactions in accordance with ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing” (“ASC 860”).  ASC 860 allows for the ownership transfer of accounts receivable to qualify for sale treatment when the appropriate criteria is met, which permits the Company to present the balances sold under the program to be excluded from accounts receivable, net on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.  Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables and the Company has surrendered control over the transferred receivables.

Note 4 – Promissory Note Receivable

The Telco segment identified certain inventory that more than likely will not be sold or that the cost will not be recovered when it is processed through its recycling program and recorded a $2.1 million expense in cost of sales to increase the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.  Therefore, the Company has a $3.4 million and a $1.3 million allowance at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 6 – Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to groupgroups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted future cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company determined that changes in the economy related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued losses experienced in the Telco segment may cause the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to exceed their fair values.  The Company performed an assessment of its intangible assets and determined that the carrying value of its customer relationships were in fact impaired based on valuation appraisals performed by the Company using a multi-period excess earnings model.  Therefore, the Company recorded a $3.9 million impairment charge in the Telco segment as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, no further indicators of potential impairment were present.

Note 7 – Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment. The Company tests more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. These indicators include, among others,
11

declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or the development of a material adverse change in the business climate. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.  The reporting units for the Company are its two operating segments.

As of March 31, 2020, indicators were present, which indicated that the Company should test for impairment of goodwill.  These indicators included reduced revenues in the current fiscal year and the overall impact of the business climate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  While the Company is deemed an essential service during the COVID-19 pandemic and has remained in operation, it has seen a reduced revenue stream in the current year.  Therefore, the Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2020.  This analysis forecasted the debt free cash flows of the segment, on a discounted basis, to estimate the fair value of the segment compared to the carrying value of the segment. For the Telco segment, the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of the segment by more than the carrying amount of goodwill recorded in the segment.  Therefore, the Company fully impaired the goodwill balance in the Telco segment and recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million as of March 31, 2020.

Table of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on the historical grants and exercises of the Company’s options.  The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of the grant based on both the historical volatility as well as the implied volatility on its common stock.  The Company bases the risk-free rate that is used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent expected term.  The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The Company amortizes the resulting fair value of the options ratably over the vesting period of the awards.  The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.


CompensationAt June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), utilizing the modified-retrospective transition approach. which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The standard requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements.  The Company elected to use the transition option that allows the Company to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption.  The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in any adjustments to retained earnings.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has made accounting policy elections (1) to not apply the new standard to lessee arrangements with a term of twelve months or less and (2) to combine lease and non-lease components.  The non-lease components are not material and do not result in significant timing differences in the recognition of lease expense.  As a result of adopting ASC 842, the Company recognized net operating lease right-of-use assets of $4.7 million and operating lease liabilities of $4.7 million on the effective date.  In addition, as a result of adopting ASC 842, the Company recognized net financing lease assets of $0.6 million and financing lease liabilities of $0.6 million on the effective date that were previously accounted for as operating leases.

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. The Company has operating and financing leases in place for various office and warehouse properties, vehicles and certain wireless services equipment.  The leases have remaining lease terms of one year to [ten] years, some of which include the option to extend the lease terms.  Operating leases are included in right-of-use operating lease assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.  Finance leases are included in net property and equipment, financing lease liabilities – current, and financing lease liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Leased assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  The Company uses a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest for a collateralized loan over a similar term as the discount
16

rate for present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable.  Leases that have a term of twelve months or less upon commencement date are considered short-term in nature.  Accordingly, short-term leases are not included in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which commences on the date the Company has the right to control the property.

The CompanyOur Telco segment has an operating lease for a building in Jessup, Maryland for Nave Communications.  As a result of moving Nave’s operations to Palco Telecom, a third-party logistics provider in Huntsville, Alabama, in fiscal year 2019,2020, Nave completely vacated the building in May 2020 and was subleasinghas subleased part of the building during certain periods of fiscal year 2020.  As2021. 
Rental payments received related to these subleases were recorded as a reduction to rent expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2020, the Company determined that the right of use asset associated with this lease may exceed its fair value.  The Company performed an assessment of this right of use asset in accordance with ASC 360-10-152021 and determined that the carrying value was impaired based on a valuation appraisal performed by the Company using a forecasted debt free cash flow model.  Therefore, Company recorded a $0.7 million impairment charge in the Telco segment as of June 30, 2020.

The Company changed the allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses between our reportable business segments. At September 30, 2020, the Company did not allocate the corporate general and administrative expenses to the reportable segments and listed those expenses separate from the operating results of those reportable segments. During fiscal 2021, the Company reviewed its reportable segments and its corporate general and administrative expenses and allocation methodology, which resulted in the Company allocating its corporate general and administrative expenses to the reportable segments. The prior period allocations have been adjusted to reflect the Company's current allocation methodology.

The Company’s Wireless segment provides turn-key wireless infrastructure services for the four major U.S. wireless carriers, communication tower companies, national integrators, and original equipment manufacturers that support these wireless carriers. These services primarily consist of the installation and upgrade of technology on cell sites and the construction of new small cells for 5G.

Recent Business Developments

Management Changes

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we announced several management changes.  First, Jarrod Watson was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Mr. Watson is filling the vacancy from the former chief financial officer who resigned earlier this fiscal year.  Mr. Watson comes to our Company with more than 20 years of corporate
20

financial leadership, including multiple Fortune 500 organizations.  Reginald Jaramillo was promoted to President of our Telco segment, replacing Don Kinison who recently left the Company.  Mr. Jaramillo has 15 years of experience in the telecommunications industry working for companies such as Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Suddenlink Communications.  Finally, Jimmy Taylor was named the President of the Wireless segment, where he had been serving in that capacity on an interim basis since February 2020.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current outbreak of COVID-19 to be a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency. In response to these declarations and the rapid spread of COVID-19, federal, state and local governments have imposed varying degrees of restrictions on business and social activities to contain COVID-19, including quarantine and “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” orders in markets where we operate. Despite these “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place”
15

orders, we are classified as an essential business due to the services and products we provide to the telecommunications industry. Therefore, we continue to operate in the markets we serve but mostwhile these orders were in place. Most of our back-office and administrative personnel were workingworked from home through June 30, 2020 while these orders were in place.place, these personnel began working in the office as restrictions were relaxed or lifted.  Although we can continue to operate our businesses, our revenues have slowed, especially in our Wireless segment, due to the carriers slowing down various wireless tower projects. We have not experienced a material disruption in our supply chain to date; however, we expect COVID-19 could materially negatively affectdate.
With the supply chain, customer demand for our telecommunications products or further delay wireless carriers’ infrastructure build plans in the coming months as a resultpartial reopening of the disruptioneconomy the economic effects of the pandemic and uncertainty it is causing.  There is considerable uncertainty regardingresulting societal changes remain unpredictable. Although we experienced increased revenues this quarter compared to recent quarters since the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spreadpandemic began last year, there are a number of uncertainties that could impact our future results of operations, including the efficacy and widespread distribution of a vaccine, the return of major outdoor events during the summer and fall months, and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spreadimpact of COVID-19 such as large-scale travel banson the operating results and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business and government shutdowns. Restrictions of this nature have caused, and may continue to cause, us, our subcontractors, suppliers and other business counterparties to experience operational delays.

In response to COVID-19, we have taken a variety of measures to ensure the availabilitycapital budgets of our critical infrastructure, promote the health and safety of our employees, and support the communities in which we operate. These measures include providing support for our customers as reflected in the FCC's "Keep Americans Connected" pledge, requiring work-from-home arrangements for a large portion of our workforce and imposing travel restrictions for our employees where practicable, canceling physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and other modifications to our business practices. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions as may be required by governmental authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, business partners and stockholders.customers.

While we continue to assess the COVID-19 situation, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity in the future will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the virus.

Segment Results

Wireless

Revenues for the Wireless segment decreased $3.6$1.0 million to $5.1$4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 from $8.7$5.1 million for the same period of last year. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 continued to be negatively impacted due to both delays in infrastructure spending from the major U.S. carriers and circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we believe that the 5G rollout will gain momentum in the calendar year and that there is substantial and growing pent-upconstrained demand for 5G-related work on existing towers, new raw-land builds, and small cell networks. In addition, we have made and are continuing to make the necessary operational changesadjustments in order to be well positioned to secure an increased share of the 5G construction services work and to improve our operating cost efficiency and gross profit.

work.
Gross profit was $2.2$1.3 million, or 44%30% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $2.22021 compared to $2.3 million, or 26%44%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit was essentially flat for three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of last year despite decreased revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The significant improvementdecrease in the gross profit percentage was driven by several factors includinga higher gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to recognition of change order revenues where expenses had been incurred in prior quarters, operational improvements, and a higher mix of specialty service work. Management believes margins will continue to show improvement over prior quarters, but will be lower, on a percentage basis, than the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to $0.5 million of change order revenue recognized in the current quarter, where expenses were incurred in prior quarters.

Operating expenses were $1.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA as presented also excludes impairment charges for operating lease right of useright-of-use assets and intangible assets including goodwill, stockstock-based compensation expense, other income, other expense, interest income and income from equity method investment. Adjusted EBITDA is presented below because this metric is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our financial performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses.  Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 toOur unaudited consolidated financial statements are impacted by the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 includes aaccounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of theour significant accounting policies or methods usedis included in the preparationNote 1- Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements.  Some of those significant accounting policies or methods require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
26

reported by us.  We believe the following items require the most significant judgments and often involve complex estimates.

Form 10-K.
General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other factors we believe to be reasonable, under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.certain assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions are discussed below.

Inventory Valuation

For our Telco segment, our position in the telecommunications industry requires us to carry relatively large inventory quantities relative to annual sales, but it also allows us to realize high overall gross profit margins on our sales.  We market our products primarily to telecommunication providers, telecommunication resellers, and other users of telecommunication equipment who are seeking products for which manufacturers have discontinued production or cannot ship new equipment on a same-day basis, as well as providing used products as an alternative to new products from the manufacturer.  Carrying these large inventory quantities represents our largest risk.

We are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements fromrisk for our customers.  We regularly review the value of our inventory in detail with consideration given to rapidly changing technology which can significantly affect future customer demand.  For individual inventory items, we may carry inventory quantities that are excessive relative to market potential, or we may not be able to recover our acquisition costs for sales that we do make.  In order to address the risks associated with our investment in inventory, we review inventory quantities on hand and reduce the carrying value when the loss of usefulness of an item or other factors, such as obsolete and excess inventories, indicate that cost will not be recovered when an item is sold.

Telco segment.
Our inventories are all carried in the Telco segment and consist of new and used electronic components for the telecommunications industry.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted-average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.  At June 30, 2020,2021, we had total inventory, before the reserve for excess and obsolete inventories, of $9.3$8.8 million, consisting of $1.2$1.3 million in new products and $8.1$7.5 million in used or refurbished products.

We regularly review the value of our inventory in detail with consideration given to rapidly changing technology which can significantly affect future customer demand. For individual inventory items, we may carry inventory

quantities that are excessive relative to market potential, or we may not be able to recover our acquisition costs. In order to address the risks associated with our investment in inventory, we review inventory quantities on hand and reduce the carrying value for obsolete and excess inventories, when our analysis indicates that cost will not be recovered when an item is sold.
We identified certain inventory that more than likely will not be sold or that the cost will not be recovered when it is processed through itsour recycling program. Therefore, we have an obsolete and excess inventory reserve of $3.4$3.2 million at June 30, 2020.2021. If actual market conditions differ from those projected by management, this could have a material impact on our gross margin and inventory balances based on additional write-downs to net realizable value or a benefit from inventories previously written down.

Inbound freight charges are included in cost of sales. Purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other inventory expenditures are included in operating expenses, since the amounts involved are not considered a material component of cost of sales.

Accounts Receivable Valuation

Management judgments and estimates are made in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms.  Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer creditworthiness, or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectability of receivables and our operating results.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an
27

additional provision to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.  The reserve for bad debts was $0.3 million at June 30, 2020 and $0.2 million at September 30, 2019.   At June 30, 2020, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $3.2 million.

expenses.
Intangibles

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 10 years. Intangible assets are also tested for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Due to our continued operating losses and the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economy and the resulting impact on our Company, we determined that there were indicators for us to test our intangible assets for impairment at March 31, 2020.  It was determined that we needed to perform a specific fair value assessment for each of the intangible assets at both Nave and Triton as their individual undiscounted forecasted cash flows did not exceed their respective carrying values.  We then performed a fair value assessment of each of the intangible assets and compared them to the individual carrying value amounts at March 31, 2020. As a result of this assessment, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.9 million related to the customer relationship intangibles in the Telco segment as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020,2021, there were no further indicators of impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized and is tested at least annually for impairment.  We perform our annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis.  Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by first comparing our estimate of the fair value of each reporting unit, with the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill.  Our reporting units for purposes of the goodwill impairment calculation are the Wireless segment, Nave and Triton.present.

Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the estimated fair value of each reporting unit.  Significant judgments and assumptions including the discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate, gross margins and operating expenses are inherent in these fair value estimates.  As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our discounted cash flow analysis.  The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in the recognition of different levels of impairment charges in the financial statements.

Due to our continued operating losses and the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economy and the resulting impact on our Company, we determined that there were indicators to warrant us to test goodwill for impairment at March 31, 2020. We calculated a fair value using the income approach of both Nave and Triton to determine if the fair value exceeded their respective carrying values.  For both Nave and Triton, the fair value for each was less than their respective carrying values after considering the intangible asset impairment.  Therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million in the Telco segment as of March 31, 2020, which fully impaired goodwill for the Telco segment.  Although we do not anticipate a future impairment charge, certain events could occur that might adversely affect the reported value of the remaining goodwill in the Wireless segment.  Such events could include, but are not limited to, economic or competitive conditions, a significant change in technology, the economic condition of the customers and industries we serve, and a material negative change in the relationships with one or more of our significant customers or equipment suppliers.  If our judgments and assumptions change as a result of the occurrence of any of these events or other events that we do not currently anticipate, our expectations as to future results and our estimate of the implied fair value of the Wireless segment also may change.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

In fiscal year 2020, we have financed our operations primarily through financing activities by utilizing our line of credit, entering into an additional $3.5 million term loan from our primary financial lender, and receiving a $2.9 million SBA Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we2021, cash used $1.4 million of cash flows for operations.  The cashin operations was $5.8 million. Cash flows from operations waswere negatively impacted by a net loss of $16.4
