Recent Business Developments
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” 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 while these orders were in place. Most of our back-office and administrative personnel worked from home while these orders were in place, these personnel began working in the office as restrictions were relaxed or lifted. 
With the partial reopening of the economy the economic effects of the pandemic, including new Covid 19 variants, and resulting societal changes remain unpredictable. Although we experienced increased revenues in recent quarters compared to prior year quarters since the pandemic began in 2020, 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 impact of COVID-19 on the operating results and capital budgets of our customers.

The improvement in margin percent was due to strong demand in our Telco segment fueled by global supply issues, along with expansion of our offerings to both wireless and optical network carriers to support both wireless and broadband connectivity for optical and IP transport offset by 3% lower margins in the Wireless segment which was attributable to mobilization costs for the newer markets entered into with a large customer earlier in the year.
Consolidated operating expenses include indirect costs associated with operating our business. Indirect costs include indirect personnel costs, facility costs, vehicles, fuel, insurance, communication, and business taxes, among other cost categories. Operating expenses were $2.5$2.0 million, compared to $2.5$2.8 million in the same period last year, representing no change in absolute dollars, but a decline from 15%decrease of revenue to 9% of revenue$0.8 million due primarily to cost control measures instituted by the Company during the latter part of the fiscal second quarter and continuing into the fiscal third quarter ofthroughout 2022.

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-use assets and intangible assets including goodwill, stock compensation expense, other income, other expense, and interest income and income from equity method investment.income. 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

Critical Accounting Policies
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1- BasisSummary of Presentation andSignificant Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K.
General
16

Table of Contents
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, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions are discussed below.
Accounts receivable
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts. The adoption of the guidance in ASC 326 did not have a material impact on trade receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory Valuation
For our Telco segment, our position in the telecommunications industry requires us to carry large inventory quantities relative to annual sales, but it also allows us to realize higher 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 for our 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, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had total inventory, before the reserve for excess and obsolete inventories, of $11.3$12.6 million, consisting of $1.9$2.1 million in new products and $9.4$10.4 million in used or refurbished products.

Table of Contents
We are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements from 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.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 forwhen the loss of usefulness of an item or other factors, such as obsolete and excess inventories, when our analysis indicatesindicate 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.recovered or that the cost will not be recovered when it is processed through recycling. Therefore, we have an obsolete and excess inventory reserve of $3.7$4.1 million at June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. 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.expenses, since the amounts involved are not considered a material component of cost of sales.
Intangibles
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.lives of 10 years. Intangible assets are also tested for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment present.

On March 17, 2022, the Company replaced its $3.0 million credit facility for its Nave and Triton subsidiaries with its primary financial lender with new accounts receivable purchase facilities. The Company also restructured its accounts receivable purchase facilities secured by the Company’s Fulton subsidiary’s receivables. With the new and restructured receivables purchase facilities, the Company has an overall capacity to factor its accounts receivable of $19.0 million for working capital needs.
We entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Northland Securities, Inc., as agent (“Northland”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Northland, shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $13.9 At March 31, 2023, the Company had $7.0 million ("Shares").

The shelf registration statement will remain effective for three years from the date declared effective by the SEC. We currently have approximately $9.9receivables purchase facilities, leaving $12.0 million available to usthe Company to fund ourfactor additional receivables generated from future sales.

The Company has experienced a number of quarters with negative operating results over the recent history.
