Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.            
Basis of Presentation
 
References in this document to “the Company,” “LightPath,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are intended to mean LightPath Technologies, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years or quarters refer to our fiscal years ended June 30 and the associated quarters of those fiscal years.
 
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 20172018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
History:
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1992 as the successor to LightPath Technologies Limited Partnership, a New Mexico limited partnership, formed in 1989, and its predecessor, Integrated Solar Technologies Corporation, a New Mexico corporation, formed in 1985. We completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) during fiscal 1996. On April 14, 2000, we acquired Horizon Photonics, Inc. (“Horizon”). On September 20, 2000, we acquired Geltech, Inc. (“Geltech”). In November 2005, we formed LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd (“LPOI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Jiading, People’s Republic Results of China. In December 2013, we formed LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd (“LPOIZ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China. In December 2016, we acquired ISP Optics Corporation, a New York corporation (“ISP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ISP Optics Latvia, SIA, a limited liability company founded in 1998 under the Lawsoperations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the Republic of Latvia (“ISP Latvia”). See Note 3, Acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation, to theseresults that may be expected for the year as a whole. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We are a manufacturer and integrator of families of precision molded aspheric optics, diamond turned, ground and polished infrared optics, high-performance fiber-optic collimators, GRADIUM glass lenses and other optical materials used to produce products that manipulate light. We design, develop, manufacture and distribute optical components and assemblies utilizing the latest optical processes and advanced manufacturing technologies. We also perform research and development for optical solutions for the traditional optics markets and communications markets.
2.  Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidated Financial Statementsinclude the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are provided in Note 2,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
 
Cash and cash equivalentsconsistUse of cash in the bank and cash equivalents with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.Estimates
 
Allowance for accounts receivable,is calculated by taking 100% of the total of invoices that are over 90 days past due from the due date and 10% of the total of invoices that are over 60 days past due from the due date for United States ("U.S.") based accounts and 100% of invoices that are over 120 days past due for Chinese and Latvia-based accounts. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. If our actual collection experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories,which consist principally of raw materials, tooling, work-in-process and finished lenses, collimators and assemblies, are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Acquisition of goods from our vendors has a purchase burden added to cover customs, shipping and handling costs. Fixed costs related to excess manufacturing capacity have been expensed. We look at the following criteria for parts to consider for the inventory reserve: (i) items that have not been sold in two years, (ii) items that have not been purchased in two years, or (iii) items of which we have more than a two-year supply.  These items as identified are reserved at 100%, as well as reserving 50% for other items deemed to be slow moving within the last twelve months and reserving 25% for items deemed to have low material usage within the last six months. The parts identified are adjusted for recent order and quote activity to determine the final inventory reserve.
Property and equipmentare stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Construction in process represents the accumulated costs of assets not yet placed in service and primarily relates to manufacturing equipment.
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated.
Goodwill and intangible assetsacquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset and reported separately from goodwill. Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally two to fifteen years. We periodically re-assess the useful lives of its intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, know-how/trade secrets and trademarks.  Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis and during the period between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired.
Deferred rentrelates to certain of our operating leases containing predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term being recognized as rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, as well as applicable leasehold improvement incentives provided by the landlord. We have recorded the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts payable under the leases as deferred rent in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income taxesare accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
We have not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits or penalties has not been provided since there has been no unrecognized benefit or penalty. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit or penalty, we would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
We file U.S. Federal income tax returns, and tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Our open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally remain open for three years from the filing date. Our tax years subject to examination by the state jurisdictions generally remain open for up to four years from the filing date. In Latvia, tax years subject to examination remain open for up to five years from the filing date and in China, tax years subject to examination remain open for up to ten years from the filing date.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $6.4 million at March 31, 2018. Of this amount, approximately 56% was held by our foreign subsidiaries in China and Latvia. These foreign funds were generated in China and Latvia as a result of foreign earnings. With respect to the funds generated by our foreign subsidiaries in China, the retained earnings in China must equal at least 150% of the registered capital before any funds can be repatriated. As of March 31, 2018, we have retained earnings in China of approximately $1.9 million and we need to have approximately $11.3 million before repatriation will be allowed.

We currently intend to permanently invest earnings generated from our foreign Chinese operations, and, therefore, we have not previously provided for future Chinese withholding taxes on such related earnings. However, if, in the future, we change such intention, we would provide for and pay additional foreign taxes, if any, at that time.
Revenueis recognized from product sales when products are shipped to the customer; provided, that we have received a valid purchase order, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of the associated receivable is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Product development agreements are generally short term in nature with revenue recognized upon shipment to the customer for products, reports or designs. Invoiced amounts for sales and value-added taxes (“VAT”) are posted to the the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and not included in revenue.
VATis computed on the gross sales price on all sales of our products sold in the People’s Republic of China and Latvia. The VAT rates range up to 21%, depending on the type of products sold. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by us on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing or acquiring our finished products. We recorded a VAT receivable, net of payments, which is included in other receivables in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
New product developmentcosts are expensed as incurred.
Stock-based compensationis measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period.  We estimate the fair value of each restricted stock unit or stock option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Most awards granted under our Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Omnibus Plan”) vest ratably over two to four years and generally have four to ten-year contract lives.  The volatility rate is based on historical trends in common stock closing prices, and the expected term was determined based primarily on historical experience of previously outstanding awards.  The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities. The likelihood of meeting targets for option grants that are performance based are evaluated each quarter. If it is determined that meeting the targets is probable, then the compensation expense will be amortized over the remaining vesting period.
Management estimates.Management makes estimates and assumptions during the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that affect amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes available, which, in turn, could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
 
Fair value of financial instruments.We account for financial instruments in accordance with the FinancialRecently Adopted Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2018.

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.  These financial instruments include receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of our capital lease obligations and acquisition term loan payable to Avidbank Corporate Finance, a division of Avidbank (“Avidbank”) approximates their carrying values based upon current rates available to us. Loans payable as of June 30, 2017 also included a note payable to the sellers of ISP, in the aggregate principal amount of $6 million (the “Sellers Note”). The carrying value of the Sellers Note included a fair value premium based on a risk-adjusted discount rate, a Level 2 fair value measurement. On January 16, 2018, the Sellers Note was satisfied in full and, therefore, is not included in loans payable as of March 31, 2018. See Note 13, Loans Payable, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We valued our warrant liabilities based on open-form option pricing models, which were based on the relevant inputs and rendered the fair value measurement at Level 3. We based our estimates of fair value for warrant liabilities on the amount a third-party market participant would pay to transfer the liability and incorporated inputs, such as equity prices, historical and implied volatilities, dividend rates and prices of convertible securities issued by comparable companies maximizing the use of observable inputs when available. See Note 10, Derivative Financial Instruments (Warrant Liability), to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We do not have any other financial or non-financial instruments that would be characterized as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
Debt issuance costsare recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the related notes payable, by the same amount, and are amortized ratably over the term of the note.
Derivative financial instruments.We account for derivative instruments in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), which requires additional disclosures about our objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect these Consolidated Financial Statements.
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk.  We review the terms of convertible debt instruments to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, must be revalued at each reporting date, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current-period operating results.
Freestanding warrants issued by us in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments.  Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
Comprehensive incomeis defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.   It includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.   Comprehensive income has two components, net income and other comprehensive income, and is included in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Our other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments made for financial reporting purposes.
Business segments.As we only operate in principally one business segment, no additional reporting is required.
Recent accounting pronouncements.There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that are not yet effective.
 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers – In May 2014, FASBthe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue2014-9,Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (“Customers(“ASU 2014-09”2014-9”), which. The standard, along with the amendments issued in 2016 and 2015, provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes thecurrent revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and mostguidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09The core principle of the model is based onto recognize revenue when control of the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services transfers to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationcustomer, as opposed to whichrecognizing revenue when the entity expectsrisks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-9 is required to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 must be appliedadopted, using oneeither of two methods: (i) retrospective methodsto each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-9; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-9 recognized at the date of initial application and were originally set to beproviding certain additional disclosures. This standard, as amended, is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB modified ASU 2014-092017 and permits entities to be effectiveearly adopt for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. As2016. We adopted this standard as of July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. The impact on the FASB permits the earlyConsolidated Financial Statements upon adoption of the new revenuethis standard but not before the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. A public organization would apply the new revenue standardwas immaterial. For additional information, see Note 3,Revenue, to all interim reporting periods within the year of adoption.these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 

 
Income Taxes– In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 provides that2016-16,Income Taxes(Topic 740) (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 will require an entity should apply a five-step approachto recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for recognizing revenue, including (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Also, the entity must provide various disclosures concerning the nature, amount and timing of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
Based on our current assessment, which is not yet final, we currently believe the most significant impact will be related to the timing of the recognition of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) revenue. We also cannot determine whether to adopt a full retrospective or modified retrospective application method until our assessment ofinterim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2014-09 is final. We will continue to evaluate the future impact and method of adoption of ASU 2014-09 and related amendments on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, and will subsequently disclose future identified material impacts, if any, and the method of adoption in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018. ASU 2014-092016-16 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We adopted this standard effective July 1, 2018, and there was no significant impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of this standard.
Compensation– Stock Compensation – In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation(Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The new guidance clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2017-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We adopted this standard effective July 1, 2018, and there was no impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of this standard.
There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended December 31, 2018, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endingended June 30, 2019.2018.
Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted
 
Leases – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“Leases(“ASU 2016-02”). This guidance requires an entity to recognize lease liabilities and a right-of-use asset for all leases on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted. Our current operating lease portfolio is primarily comprised of real estate leases. Upon adoption of this standard, we expect our Consolidated Balance Sheet to include a right-of-use asset and liability related to substantially all operating lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
Income Taxes – In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 will require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2016-16 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the adoption date and the impact, if any, adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.
 
Compensation – Stock Compensation – In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The new guidance clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2017-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the adoption date and the impact, if any, adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.
3.            Acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation
Revenue
 
On December 21, 2016 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired 100%July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-9 using the modified retrospective method, which required us to record a cumulative effect adjustment, if any, at the date of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ISP (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Ouradoption. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of ISP’s operations beginning on the Acquisition Date.and, as a result, no changes were made to prior reporting periods presented.
 
PartProduct Revenue
We are a manufacturer of optical components and higher-level assemblies, including precision molded glass aspheric optics, molded and diamond-turned infrared aspheric lenses, and other optical materials used to produce products that manipulate light. We design, develop, manufacture, and distribute optical components and assemblies utilizing advanced optical manufacturing processes. We also perform research and development for optical solutions for a wide range of optics markets. Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of optical components and assemblies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We generally bear all costs, risk of loss, or damage and retain title to the goods up to the point of transfer of control of promised products to customers. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold. We present revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.
Customary payment terms are granted to customers, based on credit evaluations. We currently do not have any contracts where revenue is recognized, but the customer payment is contingent on a future event. We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of our growth strategy is to identify appropriate opportunities that would enhance our profitable growth through acquisition. As we developed our molded infrared capabilityperformance. Deferred revenue was immaterial as of June 30, 2018 and learned more about the infrared market, we became aware of larger business opportunities in this market that might be available with a broader range of product capability. We believed acquiring ISP would provide an excellent complementary fit with our business that would meet our requirement of profitable growth in a market space we are investing in, and saw the Acquisition as an opportunity to accelerate our growth, and expand our capabilities and our global reach.December 31, 2018.
 

 
We financedNature of Products
Revenue from the sale of optical components and assemblies is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. The performance obligations for the sale of optical components and assemblies are satisfied at a portionpoint in time. Product development agreements are generally short term in nature, with revenue recognized upon transfer of control of the Acquisition through a public offering of 8,000,000 shares ofagreed-upon deliverable. We have organized our Class A common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $8.7 million. The public offering closed simultaneously withproducts in three groups: precision molded optics (“PMO”), infrared, and specialty products. Revenues from product development agreements are included in specialty products. Our revenue by product group for the closing of the Acquisition. For additional information, see Note 15, Public Offering of Class A Common Stock, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. We also closed an acquisition term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5 million (the “Term Loan”) with AvidBank. For additional information, see Note 13, Loans Payable, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:
 
In lieu of cash paid, we also financed a portion of the Acquisition through the issuance of the Sellers Note in the aggregate principal amount of $6 million to Joseph Menaker and Mark Lifshotz (the “Sellers”). For additional information, see Note 13, Loans Payable, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of the valuation analysis, we identified intangible assets, including customer relationships, customer backlog, trade secrets, trademarks, and non-compete agreements. The customer relationships, customer backlog, trade secrets, trademarks, and non-compete agreements were determined to have estimated values of $3,590,000, $366,000, $3,272,000, $3,814,000, and $27,000, respectively, and estimated useful lives of 15, 2, 8, 8, and 3 years, respectively. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach”, which requires a forecast of all future cash flows. This also reflects a $2,744,262 adjustment to increase the basis of the acquired property, plant and equipment to reflect the fair value of the assets at the Acquisition Date. The estimated useful lives of acquired property, plant and equipment range from 3 years to 10 years. Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis. This also reflects a $153,132 adjustment to increase the basis of the acquired inventory to reflect fair value of the inventory and a $230,407 adjustment to decrease the basis of the acquired deferred revenue to reflect the fair value of the deferred revenue at the Acquisition Date. The tax effects of these fair value adjustments resulted in a net deferred tax liability of approximately $5.4 million.
The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of ISP. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of ISP’s operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The following represents unaudited pro forma consolidated information as if ISP had been included in our consolidated results for the nine months ended March 31, 2017:
Nine months ended
March 31, 2017
Revenue
$25,491,276
Net income
$1,532,353
These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results for Acquisition expenses and to reflect the additional interest expense and depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on July 1, 2016, together with the consequential tax effects. For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, pro forma net income reflects adjustments of approximately $659,000 for amortization of intangibles and approximately $214,000 in additional interest, and excludes approximately $608,000 in Acquisition expenses and approximately $522,000 of nonrecurring fees incurred by ISP.
Prior to the Acquisition, we had a pre-existing relationship with ISP. We ordered anti-reflective coating services from ISP on an arms’ length basis. We had also partnered with ISP to develop and sell molded optics as part of a multiple lens assembly sold to a third party and had provided certain standard molded optics for resale through ISP’s catalog. At the Acquisition Date, we had amounts payable to ISP of $8,000 for services provided prior to the Acquisition, and ISP had payables of $24,500 due to us.

The difference between our effective tax rates in the periods presented above and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to the mix of taxable income and losses generated in our various tax jurisdictions, which include the United States (“U.S.”), the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of Latvia. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a net income tax benefit, representing a tax benefit on losses in the U.S. jurisdiction, offset by tax expense on income generated in China. Income tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was primarily related to income taxes from our domestic losses being recorded with a full valuation allowance, as well as the effect of foreign earnings taxed at rates differing from the U.S. federal statutory rate.
As of March 31, 2018, LPOIZ and LPOI were subject to statutory income tax rates of 15% and 25%, respectively.non-U.S. operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the statutory tax rate applicable to LPOIZone of our Chinese subsidiaries, LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. (“LPOIZ”), was lowered from 25% to 15% in accordance with an incentive program for technology companies in China.companies. The lower rate appliesapplied to LPOIZ’s 2017 tax year, beginning on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $160,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 related to this retroactive rate change. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, income taxes were accrued at the applicable rates.
Through December 31, 2017, ISP Latvia was subject to a statutory income tax rate of 15%. Effective January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform with the following key provisions: (i) corporations are no longer subject to income tax, but are instead subject to a distribution tax on distributed profits (or deemed distributions, as defined) and (ii) the rate of tax was changed to 20%, however, distribution amounts are first divided by 0.8 to arrive at the profit before tax amount, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25%. Our intent is to distribute profits from ISP Latvia to ISP, its parent company in the U.S.; therefore, we will accrue distribution taxes as profits are generated. With this change, the concept of taxable income and tax basis in assets and liabilities has been eliminated and is no longer relevant for purposes of determining income taxes; therefore, the previously recorded net deferred tax liability related to ISP Latvia was adjusted to zero during the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $206,000.
 
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these assets will be realized. Based onThe ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the levelgeneration of historicalfuture taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, we have provided for a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, except for items with indefinite carryover periods. Theto reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount we estimate is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Our net deferred tax asset results fromconsists primarily of U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward benefits, and federal and state tax credits with indefinite carryover periods that management expects to utilize in a future period.periods.
 
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
In December 2017, Congress passed, and the U.S. enactedPresident signed into law, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Act”), which changeschanged existing U.S. tax law and includesincluded various provisions that are expected to affect companies.companies in the United States. Among other things, the 2017 Act: (i) changeschanged U.S. corporate tax rates, (ii) generally reducesreduced a company’s ability to utilize accumulated net operating losses, and (iii) requiresrequired the calculation of a one-time transition tax on certain foreign earnings and profits (“foreign E&P”) that had not been previously repatriated. In addition, the 2017 Act impacts a company’s estimates of its deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, changes in tax rates and tax laws are accounted for inDuring the period of enactment, and the resulting effects are recorded as discrete componentsquarter ended December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting of the income tax provision related to continuing operations inimpact from the same period. We continue to evaluate the impactenactment of the 2017 Act and there were no material changes from the estimates reported in our Annual Report on our financial statements. Based on our initial assessments to date, we expectForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.  The 2017 Act provides for a one-time transition tax on certainour post-1986 foreign E&P tothat have a minimal impact on us because wenot been previously repatriated. We determined that our foreign E&P was approximately $6.9 million and anticipate that we will be ablenot owe any one-time transition tax due to utilizethe utilization of U.S. NOL carryforward benefits against these earnings.  We have also completed our existing net operating losses to substantially offset any taxes payable on foreign E&P. Additionally, we expect significant adjustments toevaluation of the income tax impacts of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions of the 2017 Act, and our gross deferred tax assets and liabilities; however, we also expect to recordexpense includes the impact of these provisions as a corresponding offset toperiod cost in our estimated full valuation allowance against our net deferredeffective tax assets, which should result in minimal net effect to our provision for income taxes.rate.
 

 
Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China
Our Chinese subsidiaries, LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“LPOI”) and LPOIZ, are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China. As of December 31, 2018, LPOI and LPOIZ were subject to statutory income tax rates of 25% and 15%, respectively.
We currently intend to permanently invest earnings generated from our foreign Chinese operations and, therefore, have not previously provided for future Chinese withholding taxes on such related earnings. However, if in the future we change such intention, the Company would provide for and pay additional foreign taxes, if any, at that time.
Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia
Our Latvian subsidiary, ISP Optics Latvia, SIA (“ISP Latvia”), is governed by the Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia. As of December 31, 2017, ISP Latvia was subject to a statutory income tax rate of 15%. Effective January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform with the following key provisions: (i) corporations are no longer subject to income tax, but are instead subject to a distribution tax on distributed profits (or deemed distributions, as defined) and (ii) the tax rate was changed to 20%; however, distribution amounts are first divided by 0.8 to arrive at the taxable amount of profit, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25%. As a transitional measure, distributions made from earnings prior to January 1, 2018, distributed prior to December 31, 2019, are not subject to tax. As such, any distributions of profits from ISP Latvia to ISP Optics Corporation (“ISP”), its U.S. parent company, will be from earnings prior to January 1, 2018 and, therefore, will not be subject to tax. We currently do not intend to distribute any current earnings generated after January 1, 2018. If, in the future, we change such intention, we will accrue distribution taxes, if any, as profits are generated.
9.   Compensatory EquityStock-Based Compensation
Our directors, officers, and key employees were granted stock-based compensation through our Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Omnibus Plan”), through October 2018 and Other Equity Incentives
Share-Basedafter that date, the 2018 Stock and Incentive Compensation Arrangements.Plan (the “SICP”). The Omnibus Plan provides several available forms ofawards include incentive stock compensation, including incentiveoptions, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. Stock-basedThe stock-based compensation expense is measured at grant date, based primarily on the fair value of the award as of the grant date, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Most options granted under the Omnibus Plan vest ratably over two to four years and generally have ten-year contract lives. The volatility rate is based on four-year historical trends in common stock closing prices and the expected term was determined based primarily on historical experience of previously outstanding options. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities. The likelihood of meeting targets for option grants that are performance based are evaluated each quarter. If it is determined that meeting the targets is probable, then the compensation expense will be amortized over the remaining vesting period.

10.            Derivative Financial Instruments (Warrant Liability)
In June 2012, we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to a private placement of an aggregate of 1,943,852 shares of our Class A common stock at $1.02 per share and warrants to purchase up to 1,457,892 shares of our Class A common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.32 per share, which was subsequently reduced to $1.26 and then to $1.22 on December 21, 2016 as a result of our public offering (the “June 2012 Warrants”). The June 2012 Warrants were exercisable for a five-year period from December 11, 2012 to December 11, 2017. We accounted for the June 2012 Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-10. ASC 815-10 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815-10, including any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock.
Due to certain adjustments that could be made to the exercise price of the June 2012 Warrants if we issued or sold shares of our Class A common stock at a price that was less than the then-current warrant exercise price, the June 2012 Warrants were classified as a liability, as opposed to equity, in accordance with ASC 815-10, as we determined that the June 2012 Warrants were not indexed to our Class A common stock.
During the term of the June 2012 Warrants, we re-measured the fair value of the outstanding June 2012 Warrants at the end of each reporting period to reflect their then-current fair market value. We also measured the fair value upon each warrant exercise, to determine the fair value adjustment to the warrant liability related to the warrant exercise. We recorded the change in fair value of the June 2012 Warrants in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, which is estimated using the Lattice option-pricing model using the following range of assumptions for the respective periods:
 December 31,June 30,

Probability price < strike price0.00%4.70%
Fair value of call$1.13 - $2.79$0.30 - $2.04
Probability of fundamental transaction occurring0%0%
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we issued 433,810 shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of the June 2012 Warrants, which included 329,195 that were subject to re-measurement. The June 2012 Warrants expired on December 11, 2017; therefore, we reduced the warrant liability to zero as of December 31, 2017.
The warrant liabilities were considered recurring Level 3 financial instruments. The following table summarizes the activity of Level 3 instruments measured on a recurring basis for the nine months ended March 31, 2018:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding, during each period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue shares of Class A common stock were exercised or converted into shares of Class A common stock. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock are describedpresented in the following table:

Lease Commitments
 
We havelease various facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, for office space. At March 31, 2018, we have a lease agreement for our manufacturing and office facilityexpiring through 2022. Our leased facilities are located in Orlando, Florida (the “Orlando Lease”). The Orlando Lease, which is for a seven-year original term with renewal options, expires in April 2022 and expanded our space to 25,847 square feet, including space added in July 2014. Minimum rental rates for the extension term were established based on annual increases of two-and-one-half percent starting in the third year of the extension period. Additionally, there is one five-year extension option exercisable by us. The minimum rental rates for such additional extension options will be determined at the time an option is exercised and will be based on a “fair market rental rate,” as determined in accordance with the Orlando Lease, as amended.
We received approximately $420,000 in a leasehold improvement allowance in fiscal 2015. The improvements were recorded as property and equipment and deferred rent on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of leasehold improvements was approximately $172,000 as of March 31, 2018. The deferred rent is being amortized as a reduction in lease expense over the term of the Orlando Lease.
Subsequent to March 31, 2018, we entered into a lease agreement for an additional 12,378 square feet in Orlando, Florida (the “Orlando Lease II”). The Orlando Lease II will provide additional manufacturing and office space near our corporate headquarters. The anticipated commencement date of the Orlando Lease II is August 1, 2018, with a four-year original term with one renewal option for a five-year term. The Orlando Lease II provides for a tenant improvement allowance of up to $309,450.

At March 31, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, LPOI, have a lease agreement for an office facility in Shanghai, China (the “Shanghai Lease”) for 1,900 square feet.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Shanghai Lease was renewed for an additional one-year term, and now expires in October 2018.
At March 31, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, LPOIZ, have two lease agreements for a manufacturing and office facility in Zhenjiang, China (collectively, the “Zhenjiang Leases”) for 39,000 square feet. The first Zhenjiang Lease is for 26,000 square feet, has a five-year original term with renewal options, and expires in March 2019. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, another lease was executed for 13,000 additional square feet in this same facility. This new lease has a 54-month term, and expires in December 2021.
At March 31, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ISP, have a lease agreement for a manufacturing and office facility inFlorida; Irvington, New York (the “ISP Lease”) for 13,000 square feet. The ISP Lease, which is for a five-year original term with renewal options, expires in September 2020.

The Riga Leases, each of which is for a five-year original term with renewal options, expire in December 2019.
Zhenjiang, China. Rent expense totaled approximately $779,000$505,000 and $530,000$522,000 during the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
We currently have obligations under fourfive capital lease agreements, entered into during fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2017,2019, with terms ranging from three to five years. The leases are for computer and manufacturing equipment, which are included as part of property and equipment. Assets under capital lease include approximately $1.0$1.9 million in manufacturing equipment, with accumulated amortization of approximately $541,000$771,000 as of MarchDecember 31, 2018. Amortization related to capital lease assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

Based on the waiver, we must pay a prepayment feeare no longer in an amount equal to (i) 0.75%default on the Term II Loan or the Revolving Line. The Fourth Amendment also provides for the restriction of $1 million of the Excess Prepayment Amount if prepayment occursCompany’s cash, which will be released upon two consecutive quarters of compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, and so long as no event of default has occurred that is continuing on or prior to January 16, 2019, or (ii) 0.5%that date.

The SecondOn October 30, 2018, we entered into the Fifth Amendment, which amended among other items, (1)the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” to allow for the addback of certain definitions related toone-time expenses for purposes of determining the fixed charge coverage ratio and (2)compliance with the related covenant. The Fifth Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Revolving Line from MarchDecember 21, 2018 to March 21, 2019 (the “Revolving Maturity Date”). As of December 21, 2018.31, 2018, we are in compliance with all required covenants. As a result, the Term II Loan is classified in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets according to the original minimum maturity schedule.
 
CostsFinancing costs incurred of approximately $72,000 were recorded as a discount on debt and will be amortized over the five-year term of the Term Loan. Additional costs of approximately $60,000 were incurred in conjunction with the Second Amendment and were also recorded as a discount on debt, and the combined costs will be amortized over the five-year term of the Term II Loan.term. Amortization of approximately $13,700$12,000 and $7,700 is included in interest expense for the ninesix months ended March 31, 2018.
Third Amendment to the Amended LSA
Subsequent to the quarter ending MarchDecember 31, 2018 we entered into the Third Amendment. The Third Amendment (i) amends the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" and (ii) amends Section 6.8(a) of the Amended LSA to require that we, and each of our domestic subsidiaries, maintain all of our domestic depository and operating accounts with AvidBank begining on June 1, 2018 and to prohibit us from maintaining a domestic account balance outside of AvidBank that exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) during the transition period. The Third Amendment also amends Section 6.9(a) of the Amended LSA to require that we maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, as measured on the June 30, 2018, of at least 1.10 to 1.00, and thereafter, begining with the quarter ending on September 30, 2018, to maintian a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, AvidBank granted us a waiver of default arising prior to the Third Amendment from our failure to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio measured on March 31, 2018. Based on the waiver, we are no longer in default of the Term II Loan or Revolving Line.
Sellers Note
On December 21, 2016, we also entered into the Sellers Note in the aggregate principal amount of $6 million. The Sellers Note was fully satisfied on January 16, 2018, as discussed in Note 14, Note Satisfaction and Securities Purchase Agreement, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pursuant to the Sellers Note, during the period commencing on December 21, 2016 (the “Issue Date”) and continuing until the fifteen-month anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Initial Period”), interest accrued on only the principal amount of the Sellers Note in excess of $2.7 million at an interest rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. After the Initial Period, interest would have accrued on the entire unpaid principal amount of the Sellers Note from time to time outstanding, at an interest rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. Given that the Sellers Note was satisfied in full in January 2018, we paid interest semi-annually in arrears solely during the Initial Period. The Sellers Note originally had a five-year term. We had the right to prepay the Sellers Note in whole or in part without penalty or premium.
The Sellers Note was valued based on the present value of expected cash flows. The fair value of the Sellers Note was determined to be approximately $6,327,200 based on the present value of expected future cash flows, using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 7.5%. The Sellers Note is included in loans payable, less current portion on the acconmpanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of January 16, 2018, the date the note was satisfied in full, the fair value adjustment liability was approximately $467,000. Upon satisfaction of the Sellers Note, this amount was reduced to zero and the resulting gain is in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the line item entitled “Interest expense – debt costs.”
There were no payment defaults or other events of default prior to the Sellers Note being paid in full on January 16, 2018. If a payment default, or any other “event of default,” such as a bankruptcy event or a change of control of the Company had occurred, the entire unpaid and outstanding principal balance of the Sellers Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any and all other amounts payable under the Sellers Note, would have been immediately be due and payable.2017, respectively.

On January 16, 2018 (the “Satisfaction Date”), we entered into a Note Satisfaction and Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Note Satisfaction Agreement”) with the Sellers with respect to the Sellers Note. At the closing of the Acquisition of ISP, as partial consideration for the shares of ISP, we issued the Sellers Note in the original principal amount of $6,000,000, which principal payment amount was subsequently reduced to $5.7 million, after applying the approximately $293,000 working capital adjustment, as discussed in Note 3, Acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation, to these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pursuant to the Note Satisfaction Agreement, we and the Sellers agreed to satisfy the Sellers Note in full by (i) converting 39.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Sellers Note into shares of our Class A common stock, and (ii) paying the remaining 60.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Sellers Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, in cash to the Sellers. As of the Satisfaction Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Sellers Note was $5,707,183, and there was $20,883 in accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Note Satisfaction Amount”). Accordingly, we paid approximately $3,453,582 plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Sellers Note, in cash (the “Cash Payment”) and issued 967,208 shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”), which represents the balance of the Note Satisfaction Amount divided by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” equaled $2.33, representing the average closing bid price of the Class A common stock, as reported by Bloomberg for the five (5) trading days preceding the Satisfaction Date. The Cash Payment was paid using approximately $600,000 of cash on hand and approximately $2.9 million in proceeds from the Term II Loan from Avidbank. As of the Satisfaction Date, the Sellers Note was deemed satisfied in full and terminated.
The Shares issued to the Sellers were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act (in that the Shares were issued by us in a transaction not involving any public offering), and pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Act.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Note Satisfaction Agreement, we and the Sellers also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated January 16, 2018, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC by February 15, 2018, and to cause to be declared effective, a registration statement to register the resale of the Shares issued to partially pay the Note Satisfaction Amount. The Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-223028) was declared effective by the SEC on March 8, 2018.
15. Public Offering of Class A Common Stock
On December 16, 2016, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth Capital”), as representative of the several underwriters identified therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the firm commitment offering of 7,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock, at a public offering price of $1.21 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to cover any over-allotments.

On December 21, 2016, we completed our underwritten public offering of 8,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, which included the full exercise by the Underwriters of their option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to cover over-allotments, at a public offering price of $1.21 per share. We realized net proceeds of approximately $8.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds from the offering provided funds for a portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition of ISP, as well as provided funds for the payment of transaction expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the Acquisition.
The offering of the shares of Class A common stock was made pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-213860), which the SEC declared effective on December 15, 2016, and the final prospectus dated December 16, 2016.
16. Foreign Operations
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. During the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized a loss of approximately $388,000 and a gain of approximately $859,000 and a loss of $254,000$409,000 on foreign currency transactions, respectively, included in the consolidated statementsunaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of comprehensive incomeComprehensive Income (Loss) in the line item entitled “Other income (expense), net.” Gains or losses on the translation of the financial statements of a non-U.S. operation, where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are reflected as a separate component of equity, which was a gain of approximately $201,000$226,000 and $114,000$123,000 for the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $4.6 million at December 31, 2018. Of this amount, approximately 54% was held by our foreign subsidiaries in China and Latvia. These foreign funds were generated in China and Latvia as a result of foreign earnings. With respect to the funds generated by our foreign subsidiaries in China, the retained earnings in China must equal at least 150% of the registered capital before any funds can be repatriated. As of MarchDecember 31, 2018, we hadhave retained earnings in China of approximately $14.7$2.4 million in assets and $12.6we need to have $11.3 million inbefore repatriation will be allowed.

In July 2018, we announced the relocation and consolidation of ISP’s New York facility (the “Irvington Facility”) into our existing facilities in Orlando, Florida and Riga, Latvia. We record charges for restructuring and other exit activities related to approximately $14.0 million in assetsthe closure or relocation of business activities at fair value, when incurred. Such charges include termination benefits, contract termination costs and $12.3 million in net assets located in China as of June 30, 2017. As of Marchcosts to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, we hadrecorded approximately $6.6 million$291,000 in assetsexpenses related to the relocation of the Irvington Facility. These charges were mostly incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2018, and $6.3 millionare included as a component of the “Selling, general and administrative” expenses line item in net assets locatedour unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. We estimate that we will incur an additional $474,000 in Latvia, compared to approximately $6.1 million in assets and $6.0 in net assets located in Latvia as ofexpenses through June 30, 2017.2019 related to this facility relocation. We expect the relocation to be substantially completed by that date.  As of that date, we will have a remaining lease obligation of up to $433,000, which will be accrued once we have fully vacated the facility.

The discussions of our results as presented in this Quarterly Report include use of the non-GAAP term “gross margin,” as well as other non-GAAP measures discussed in more detail under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Gross margin is determined by deducting the cost of sales from operating revenue. Cost of sales includes manufacturing direct and indirect labor, materials, services, fixed costs for rent, utilities and depreciation, and variable overhead. Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that gross margin, although a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful and meaningful to investors as a basis for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that demonstrates our cost structure and provides funds for our total costs and expenses. We use gross margin in measuring the performance of our business and have historically analyzed and reported gross margin information publicly. Other companies may calculate gross margin in a different manner.
 
 

Introduction
 
OverviewWe were incorporated in Delaware in 1992 as the successor to LightPath Technologies Limited Partnership, a New Mexico limited partnership, formed in 1989, and its predecessor, Integrated Solar Technologies Corporation, a New Mexico corporation, formed in 1985.
 
Historical:
We are in the business of manufacturing optical components and higher level assemblies, including precision molded glass aspheric optics, molded and diamond turned ground and polished infrared optics, proprietary high performance fiber optic collimators, GRADIUM glassaspheric lenses and other optical materials used to produce products that manipulate light. All the products we produce enable lasers and imaging devices to function more effectively.
 
In November 2005, we formed LPOI, a wholly-owned subsidiary, located in Jiading, People’s Republic of China. LPOI provides sales and support functions. In December 2013, we formed LPOIZ, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the New City district, of the Jiangsu province, of the People’s Republic of China. LPOIZ’s 39,000 square foot manufacturing facility (the “Zhenjiang Facility”) serves as our primary manufacturing facility in China and provides a lower cost structure for production of larger volumes of optical components and assemblies. The LPOI facility is primarily used for sales and support functions.
 
In December 2016, we acquired ISP and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ISP Latvia. ISP is a vertically integrated manufacturer offering a full range of infrared products from custom infrared optical elements to catalog and high performance lens assemblies. Historically, ISP’s New York facility functionsIrvington Facility functioned as its global headquarters for operations, while also providing manufacturing capabilities, optical coatings, and optical and mechanical design, assembly, and testing. In July 2018, we announced plans to relocate this manufacturing facility to our existing facilities in Orlando, Florida and Riga, Latvia. We expect the relocation to occur in phases through the end of fiscal 2019. ISP LatviaLatvia’s manufacturing facility is located in Riga, Latvia.Latvia (the “Riga Facility”). It is a manufacturer of high precision optics and offers a full range of infrared products, including catalog and custom infrared optics. For additional information, see Note 3, Acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation,please refer to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterlyour Annual Report on Form 10-Q.10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.
 
Product Groups and Markets:
We organizedBeginning in fiscal 2019, we reorganized our business based on fiveinto three product groups: low volumePMO (as defined below), specialty products, and infrared products.

Our precision molded optics (“LVPMO”(the “PMO”), high volume precision molded optics (“HVPMO”), specialty products, infrared products, and NRE. Our LVPMO product group consists of precision molded optics with a sales price greater than $10 per lens and is usually sold in smaller lot quantities. Our HVPMO product group consists of precision molded optics with a sales price of less than $10 per lens and is usually sold in larger lot quantities. Our infrared product group is comprised of both molded and turned lenses and assembliesvarying applications and includes all ISP products.our high volume PMOs and low volume PMOs. Our specialty product group is comprised of value-added products, such as optical subsystems, assemblies, GRADIUM lenses, and isolators. Our NRE product group consistscollimators, and non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) products, consisting of those products we develop pursuant to product development agreements that we enter into with customers. Typically, customers approach us and request that we develop new products or applications for our existing products to fit their particular needs or specifications. The timing and extent of any such product development is outside of our control.
 
Our infrared product group is comprised of both molded and turned infrared lenses and assemblies, and includes all of the products offered by ISP. Near the end of fiscal 2018, we announced comprehensive production capabilities and global availability for a new line of infrared lenses made of a chalcogenide compound. We developed this compound and grow it internally to produce Black Diamond glass, which has been trademarked, and marketed as BD6. Currently, the majority of our infrared products are germanium-based, which is subject to market pricing and availability. BD6 offers a lower-cost alternative to germanium, which we expect will benefit the cost structure of some of our current infrared products, and allow us to expand our product offerings in response to the markets’ increasing requirement for low-cost infrared optics applications.
We have also aligned our marketing efforts by industry. We currently serve the following major markets: industrial, commercial, defense, medical, telecommunications, public safety, mobility and auto safety, drones and commercial infrared.catalogs/distributors. Customers in each of these markets may select the best optical technologies that suit their needs from our entire suite of products, availing us to cross-selling opportunities, particularly where we can leverage our knowledge base of technical requirements against our expanding design library. Within our product groups, we have various applications that serve theseour major markets. For example, sales of our HVPMO and LVPMO lensesinfrared products are usedprimarily to customers in applications for the telecommunicationsindustrial market such as cloud computing, video distribution via digital technology, wireless broadband, and machine to machine connection, and the laser market, such as laser tools, scientific and bench top lasers, and bar code scanners. Ourthat use thermal imaging technology. However, our infrared products can also be used in various applications within our major markets. Our infrared products can be used for thermal imaging cameras, gas sensing devices, spectrometers, night vision systems, automotive driver systems, thermal weapon gun sights, and infrared counter measure systems, among others.
 
Within the larger overall markets, which are estimated to be in the multi-billions of dollars, we believe there is a market of approximately $1.7 billion for our current products and capabilities. We continue to believe our products will provide significant growth opportunities over the next several years and, therefore, we will continue to target specific applications in each of these major markets. In addition to these major markets, a large percentage of our revenues are derived from sales to unaffiliated companies that purchase our products to fulfill their customer’scustomers’ orders, as well as unaffiliated companies that offer our products for sale in their catalogs. Our strategy is to leverage our technology, know-how, established low costlow-cost manufacturing capability and partnerships to grow our business.

Fiscal ThirdSecond Quarter: Three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, compared to the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2017
 
Revenues:
Revenue for the third quarterssecond quarter of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 20172019 was approximately $8.5 million. Revenuesmillion, an increase of approximately $187,000, or 2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Revenue generated by infraredPMO products primarily attributable to ISP, was approximately $4.2$4.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, as compared to $3.3 million in the third quartersame period of fiscal 2018, an increase of approximately $385,000,$808,000 or 10%, compared24%. The increase was primarily due to approximately $3.8 millionan increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Industrial applications, firefighting cameras and other public safety applications are the primary drivers of the increased demand for infrared products. Total revenues generated by precision molded optics (“PMO”), including both LVPMO and HVPMO products, was approximately $3.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Revenues from sales of LVPMO products increased by approximately $231,000, or 13% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to higher sales to customers in the medical industry. These increases were offset bytelecommunications market, and to a lesser extent, an approximately $612,000, or 29%, decreaseincrease in sales from HVPMO lenses duringto customers in the thirddefense market. Revenue generated by infrared products was approximately $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, a decrease of approximately $508,000, or 12%, compared to approximately $4.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of the renewal of a large annual contract, as the balance of the existing contract was fulfilled before the renewal was finalized, which reflects our expanding manufacturing capacity. Revenue generated by specialty products, which includes revenue for NRE projects, was approximately $693,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, a decrease of approximately $113,000, or 14%, as compared to the prior year period, primarily attributed to continued soft demand from the telecommunications industry. Revenue generated by our specialty products was approximately $628,000$805,000 in the third quartersame period of fiscal 2018, an increase of approximately $112,000, or 22%, compared2018. This decrease is primarily due to $516,000lower sales to customers in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This growth was ledcommercial and industrial markets, partially offset by demand from the defense industry, automotive industry, and for collimators used in a variety of end markets, including light distance and ranging (“LIDAR”) sensing and auto safety. This is a relatively new focus area for us, given that we expect these projectsincreased sales to deliver a future stream of larger production quantities.medical customers.
 
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin:
Gross margin in both the third quartersecond quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018 was approximately $3.3 million, a decrease of 22%, as compared to approximately $4.2 million in same quarter of the prior fiscal year.$3.5 million. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 39%41% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, compared to 50%42% for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017. The change in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is attributable to several factors, including: (i) a shift in the sales mix within infrared products, with a higher percentage of sales derived from contract sales and a smaller percentage of sales derived from custom products, (ii) fewer sales of higher margin HVPMO products to the telecommunications industry, and (iii) an unfavorable shift in foreign currency exchange rates for our offshore manufacturing locations, while approximately 90% of our sales are transacted in U.S. dollars. In addition to these factors, the cost of Germanium, a key component in many of our infrared lenses, has increased by 28% over the last 12 months. While this cost increase has been accounted for in the pricing of our custom products, it has raised the costs of our products sold under a long-term contract.2018. Total cost of sales was approximately $5.2$5.0 million for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, an increase of approximately $944,000,$158,000, compared to $4.3$4.8 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was partially due to higher sales, but more significantly, cost of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was elevated due to increased labor costs, manufacturing inefficiencies, and increased overhead expenses associated with the relocation of our Irvington Facility. Although we expect to have higher costs for the remainder of fiscal 2019, we expect costs and operating performance to improve as the relocation of the Irvington Facility progresses.

 
Selling, General and Administrative:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, selling,Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 were approximately $2.4$2.5 million, an increase of approximately 10%, as compared to approximately $2.3 million in the thirdsame quarter of the prior fiscal year. SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase2019 included approximately $200,000 of approximately $33,000. Slight increases in wages and professional fees during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were offset by the absence of approximately $45,000 innon-recurring expenses related to the Acquisitionrelocation of ISP incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2017.Irvington Facility to our existing facilities in Orlando, Florida, and Riga, Latvia. We expect future SG&A costs will continue to remain at similar levels duringbe elevated for the remainder of fiscal 2018.2019, as we continue to incur expenses related to this facility relocation. On a long-term basis, we expect the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities to reduce our operating and overhead costs.
 
New Product Development:
New product development costs were approximately $384,000$519,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, an increase of approximately $76,000,$106,000, or 25%26%, as compared to the third quartersame period of the prior fiscal 2017.year. This increase was primarily due to an approximately $52,000 increase inincreased wages and an approximately $24,000 increase in materials and other expenses.related to additional engineering employees to support the demand for development. We anticipate that these expenses will remain at current levels for the remainder of fiscal 2018.2019.
 
Other Income (Expense):
In the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018, we recognized net2019, interest incomeexpense was approximately $153,000, compared to approximately $194,000 in the same period of approximately $343,000,the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the satisfaction, in full, of the Sellers Note, in full, and the reversal of the related fair value adjustment liability, which resulted in a gain of approximately $467,000. Excluding the impact of this gain, interest expense was approximately $124,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to approximately $193,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This decrease is primarily due to the full satisfaction of the Sellers Noteoccurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. We expect futurethat interest expense towill remain at similarnear current levels duringfor the remainder of fiscal 2018, excluding the gain associated with the satisfaction of the Sellers Note.2019.
 
In the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018, we did not recognize anyrecognized non-cash income or expense of approximately $243,000 related to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilitythe warrants issued in connection with our June 2012 Warrants.private placement. The June 2012 Warrantswarrants expired on December 11, 2017; therefore, there was no remaining warrant liability as of that date. We recognized non-cashAccordingly, we did not recognize any income or expense of approximately $748,000 in the same period last year. The change in fair valuesecond quarter of the June 2012 Warrants was not impacted by our actual operations but was instead strongly tiedfiscal 2019 related to the change in market value of our Class A common stock.these warrants.
 
Other income,expense, net, was approximately $485,000$48,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, compared to other income, net, of approximately $28,000$195,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, primarily resulting from foreign exchange gains and losses. We execute all foreign sales from our Orlando and New York facilities and inter-company transactions in United States dollars, partially mitigating the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-United States currencies, primarily the Chinese Yuan and Euro, are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. During the third quarterssecond quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017,2019, we incurred a gain of $446,000 and $18,000, respectively,loss on foreign currency translation.

Income taxes:Taxes:
During the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $183,000,$23,000, compared to an income tax expensebenefit of approximately $266,000$194,000 for the third quartersame period of the prior fiscal 2017.year. The decrease in our tax expenses and effective income tax rate werebenefit was primarily attributable to an adjustment for a retroactive statutory rate change that was recorded in the mixsecond quarter of taxable income and losses generated in our various tax jurisdictions.fiscal 2018. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the statutory tax rate applicable to LPOIZ decreased from 25% to 15% in accordance with an incentive program for technology companies in China. Effectivecompanies. The lower rate applies to LPOIZ’s 2017 tax year, beginning on January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform, which resulted in the recognition of2017. Accordingly, we recorded a tax benefit due to the reduction of the previously recorded net deferred tax liability to zero during the three months ended March 31, 2018.second quarter of fiscal 2018 related to this retroactive rate change.

Revenue generated by infrared products was approximately $8.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2019, an increase of approximately $852,000, or 11%, compared to approximately $7.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. Industrial applications, firefighting cameras, and other public safety applications continue to be the primary drivers of the increased demand for infrared products. Revenue generated by our specialty products was approximately $1.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2019, a decrease of approximately $385,000, or 25%, compared to approximately $1.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of NRE projects, as well as a decrease in sales of specialty products to customers in the commercial and industrial markets, partially offset by increased sales to medical customers.
 
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin:
Gross margin in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 20182019 was approximately $10.1$6.6 million, a decrease of 3%, as compared to approximately $10.4$6.8 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 41%39% for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, compared to 53%43% for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2017.2018. The change in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributabledue to a shift in the inclusion of revenues generated by ISP, andsales mix within the associated cost of sales, which were not included until the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue with respect to ISP’s products historically has been lower than our existing products. In addition, we offered a pricing discount in connection with a large contract in exchange for increased volume production orders from the customer, which impacted our gross margin by approximately 4% of revenueinfrared product group during the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018. Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were also unfavorably impacted by foreign currency fluctuations, and the rising cost of Germanium, a key component in many of our infrared lenses. Total cost of sales was approximately $14.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, an increase of approximately $5.3 million,2019, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, with a higher percentage of sales derived from contract sales and a smaller percentage of sales derived from custom products. The standard materials for our infrared products, such as germanium, have inherent pricing volatility, which has negatively impacted our margins for infrared products over the past few quarters. As we convert many of these products to our BD6 material, we expect our margins to improve over time. Total cost of sales was approximately $10.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2019, an increase of approximately $1.4 million, compared to $9.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in totalwas partially due to higher sales, but more significantly, cost of sales is primarilyfor the first half of fiscal 2019 was elevated due to increased labor costs, manufacturing inefficiencies, and increased overhead expenses associated with the increase in volumerelocation of sales, particularlyour Irvington Facility. Although we expect to have higher costs for the remainder of fiscal 2019, we expect costs to improve as a resultthe relocation of sales attributable to ISP.the Irvington Facility progresses.
 
Selling, General and Administrative:
DuringSG&A costs for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, SG&A costs2019 were approximately $7.1$5.0 million, compared to approximately $6.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2017, an increase of approximately $860,000, primarily attributable6%, as compared to approximately $4.7 million in the addition of ISP’s SG&A costs, which were not included until the endsame quarter of the second quarterprior fiscal year. SG&A for the first half of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to an2019 included approximately $723,000 increase in wages, an approximately $240,000 increase in IT services and consulting, an approximately $270,000 increase in travel expenses, and an approximately $280,000 increase in professional fees, offset by the absence$291,000 of approximately $653,000 innon-recurring expenses related to the Acquisitionrelocation of ISP incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2017.Irvington Facility to our existing facilities in Orlando, Florida, and Riga, Latvia. We expect future SG&A costs to remain at similar levels duringcontinue to be elevated for the remainder of fiscal 2018.2019, due to this facility relocation. On a long-term basis, we expect the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities to reduce our operating and overhead costs.
 
New Product Development:
New product development costs were approximately $1.2 million$989,000 in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, an increase of approximately $325,000,$194,000, or 38%24%, as compared to the first nine monthssame period of the prior fiscal 2017.year. This increase was primarily due to an approximately $219,000 increase inincreased wages an approximately $49,000 increase in patent expenses, and an approximately $57,000 increase in travel and other expenses.related to additional engineering employees to support the demand for development. We anticipate that these expenses will remain at current levels for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

2019.
 
Other Income (Expense):
DuringIn the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, we recognized net2019, interest expense was approximately $298,000, compared to approximately $395,000 in the same period of approximately $52,000,the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the satisfaction, in full, of the Sellers Note, in full, and the reversal of the fair value adjustment liability,which resulted in a gain of approximately $467,000occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the impact of this gain,We expect that interest expense was approximately $519,000will remain near current levels for the first nine monthsremainder of fiscal 2018, compared to approximately $206,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The increase is due to the inclusion of the Term Loan and the Sellers Note, which was only included for approximately three months of the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The Sellers Note was fully satisfied in January 2018, which decreased interest expense beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.2019.
 
In the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, we recognized non-cash incomeexpense of approximately $195,000$194,000 related to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilitythe warrants issued in connection with our June 2012 Warrants, compared to non-cash income of approximately $458,000 in the same period of fiscal 2017. The change in fair value of the June 2012 Warrants is not impacted by our actual operations but is instead strongly tied to the change in market value of our Class A common stock.private placement. The June 2012 Warrantswarrants expired on December 11, 2017; therefore, there was no remaining warrant liability as of that date. Accordingly, we did not recognize any income or expense in the first half of fiscal 2019 related to these warrants.
 
Other income,expense, net, was approximately $927,000 for$387,000 in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, compared to other expense,income, net, of approximately $229,000 during$442,000 in the first nine monthssame period of the prior fiscal 2017,year, primarily resulting from foreign exchange gains and losses. We execute all foreign sales from our Orlando and New York facilities and inter-company transactions in United States dollars, partially mitigating the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-United States currencies, primarily the Chinese Yuan and Euro, are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. During the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018 and 2017,2019, we recognizedincurred a loss on foreign currency translation of approximately $388,000, compared to a gain of $854,000 and a loss$409,000 for the same period of $254,000, respectively, on foreign currency translation.the prior fiscal year.

 
Income taxes:Taxes:
During the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $319,000,$202,000, compared to an income tax expensebenefit of approximately $772,000$136,000 for the first nine monthssame period of the prior fiscal 2017.year. The decreaseincrease in our tax expenses and effective income tax rate werebenefit was primarily attributable to the mix of taxable income and losses generated in our various tax jurisdictions. DuringFor the second quarterfirst half of fiscal 2017,2019, the net income tax benefit represents a tax benefit on losses in the U.S. jurisdiction, offset by tax expense on income generated in China. For the first half of fiscal 2018, the net income tax benefit is primarily related to an adjustment for a retroactive statutory tax rate applicablechange for one of our Chinese entities, LPOIZ. Please refer to LPOIZ was decreased from 25% to 15% in accordance with an incentive program for technology companies in China. The lower rate applies to LPOIZ’s 2017 tax year, beginning January 1, 2017. Accordingly, we recorded a tax benefit during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 related to this retroactive rate change. Through December 31, 2017, ISP Latvia was subject to a statutory income tax rate of 15%. Effective January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform, which resultedNote 8,Income Taxes, in the recognition of a tax benefit, due to the reduction of the previously recorded net deferred tax liability to zero during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
 
Net Income:Income (Loss):
Net incomeloss for the first half of fiscal 2019 was approximately $1.9 million,$567,000, or $0.08 and $0.07$0.02 basic and diluted earningsloss per share, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, compared to the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2017,2018, in which we reported net income of approximately $1.3 million,$641,000, or $0.07 per$0.03 basic and $0.02 diluted earnings per share, respectively. The increasedecrease in net income is primarily due to the aforementioned changes in other income, which had a favorable impact, as well as the aforementioned income tax benefit. Net income for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2019, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, was also affected by increases inis primarily attributable to the following: (i) amortizationa decrease in gross margin of intangibles,approximately $217,000, (ii) an additional $291,000 in SG&A expenses related to the relocation of the Irvington Facility, (iii) interest expense, and (iv)an increase in new product development costs as compared toof approximately $194,000, and (iv) an approximately $797,000 unfavorable difference in foreign exchange gains and losses, offset by the prior year period. Allabsence of the amortization of intangibles and a portion of the increase$194,000 in SG&A expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were related to the Acquisition of ISP. Due to the timingchange in fair value of the Acquisition, the results of ISP were not included until late in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.warrant liability.
 
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding were 25,777,330, for both basic and diluted, commonin the first half of fiscal 2019, compared to basic and diluted shares outstanding increased to 24,763,458of 24,380,448 and 26,618,956,26,326,759, respectively, in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, compared to 18,621,072 and 20,145,976, respectively,2018. The increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The increaseweighted-average basic common stock shares was primarily due to 8 million shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with the Acquisition of ISP, the 967,208 shares of Class A common stock issued during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 in conjunction with the satisfaction of the Sellers Note, and, to a lesser extent, shares of Class A common stock issued under the 2014 ESPP, issued as a result ofand upon the exercises of stock options and issued upon the exercise of the June 2012 Warrants.RSUs.
 

LiquidityLiquidity and Capital Resources
 
At MarchDecember 31, 2018, we had working capital of approximately $14.2$12.8 million and total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $6.4$4.6 million, of which approximately $3.6$2.5 million of total cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries.subsidiaries, and $1 million was restricted pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Amended LSA.
 
Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were generated in China and Latvia as a result of foreign earnings. Before any funds can be repatriated from China, the retained earnings in China must equal at least 150% of the registered capital. As of MarchDecember 31, 2018, we had retained earnings of $1.9$2.4 million and we need tomust have $11.3 million before repatriation will be allowed. We currentlyCurrently, we intend to permanently invest earnings from our foreign Chinese operations and,operations; therefore, we have not previously provided for future Chinese witholdingwithholding taxes on the related earnings. However, if, in the future, we change such intention, we would provide for and pay additional additional foreign taxes, if any, at that time.
 
On December 21, 2016, we executedLoans payable consists of the Term II Loan pursuant to the Amended LSA. The Amended LSA with AvidBankalso provides for a Revolving Line. As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the Term II Loan was approximately $5.9 million, and we had no borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Line.
The Amended LSA includes certain customary covenants. The Fourth Amendment provided for the Term Loan inrestriction of $1 million of our domestic cash, which will be released upon two consecutive quarters of compliance with the aggregatefixed charge coverage ratio covenant, and so long as no event of default has occurred that is continuing on that date. The Fourth Amendment also provided that during the restrictive period, the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio will be determined as if the outstanding principal amount of $5the Term II Loan is $1 million less than the actual outstanding principal amount of the Term II Loan, if we maintain a restricted cash balance of $1 million. On October 30, 2018, we entered into the Fifth Amendment, which amended the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” to allow for the addback of certain one-time expenses for purposes of determining the fixed charge coverage ratio and compliance with the related covenant. The Fifth Amendment also extended the Revolving Line. The Amended LSA amends and restates that certain Loan and Security Agreement between us and AvidBank dated September 30, 2013, as amended and restated pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 23, 2014, and as further amended pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 23, 2015.
On December 20, 2017, we executed the First Amendment. The First Amendment amends, among other items, the maturity dateMaturity Date of the Revolving Line from December 21, 20172018 to March 21, 2018. On the Satisfaction Date, we executed the Second Amendment. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Avidbank advanced us the Term II Loan,2019. We were in the original principal amountcompliance with all covenants as of $7,294,000. The proceeds were used to repay all amounts owed with respect to the Term Loan, with the remainder used to repay the amounts owing under the Sellers Note. As of the Satisfaction Date, the Term Loan and Sellers Note were deemed satisfied in full. On May 11, 2018, we executed the Third Amendment.December 31, 2018. For additional information, on the terms of the Term Loan, Sellers Note, Revolving Line, and Term II Loan, see Note 13, 12,Loans Payable, to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements toin this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2018, the amount outstanding under the Term II Loan was approximately $7.1 million and there was no amount outstanding under the Revolving Line. Costs incurred of approximately $72,000 were recorded as a discount on debt and will be amortized over the five-year term of the Term Loan. Additional costs of approximately $60,000 were incurred in conjunction with the Second Amendment and were also recorded as a discount on debt, and the combined costs will be amortized over the five-year term of the Term II loan. Amortization of approximately $13,700 is included in interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
 
We believe that we have adequate financial resources to sustain our current operations in the coming year. We have established milestones that will be tracked to ensure that as funds are expended, we are achieving results before additional funds are committed. We anticipate sales growth during the remainder of fiscal 20182019, primarily from infrared products, as well as some growth in specialty products. We structured our sales team to enhance our incremental organic growth position for our core aspheric lens business, prime our operations for the anticipated high growth of our new infrared products, and allow for the integration of strategic acquisitions. We are also benefiting from a substantial increase in revenue-generating opportunities and broader market applications as a result of our investments in technologies that decreased our lens production costs and expanded our production capacity. We believe we can further improve upon our track record of growth – and do so far more profitably.

 
We generally rely on cash from operations and equity and debt offerings, to the extent available, to satisfy our liquidity needs and to maintain our ability to repay the Term II Loan. There are a number of factors that could result in the need to raise additional funds, including a decline in revenue or a lack of anticipated sales growth, increased material costs, increased labor costs, planned production efficiency improvements not being realized, increases in property, casualty, benefit and liability insurance premiums, and increases in other discretionary spending, particularly sales and marketing related. We will also continue efforts to keep costs under control as we seek renewed sales growth. Our efforts continue to be directed toward maintaining positiveimproving cash flow and profitability. If our efforts are not successful, we will need to raise additional capital. Should capital not be available to us at reasonable terms, other actions may become necessary in addition to cost control measures and continued efforts to increase sales. These actions may include exploring strategic options for the sale of the Company, the sale of certain product lines, the creation of joint ventures or strategic alliances under which we will pursue business opportunities, the creation of licensing arrangements with respect to our technology, or other alternatives.
 
Cash Flows – Financings:
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $890,000$872,000 in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, compared to net cash provided of approximately $14.1 million$14,000 used in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2017.2018. Cash used in financing activities for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 20182019 reflects approximately $1.6 million$897,000 in principal payments on our loans and capital leases, net of borrowings, and $777,000approximately $25,000 in proceeds from: (i)from the exercise of stock options and from the sale of Class A common stock under the 2014 ESPP. Cash used in financing activities for the first half of fiscal 2018 reflected approximately $676,000 in principal payments on our loans and capital leases, offset by approximately $662,000 in proceeds from the exercise of our June 2012 Warrants; (ii)warrants, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock under the 2014 ESPP; and (iii) proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 consisted principally of the debt and equity financing for the Acquisition of ISP.

ESPP.
 
Cash Flows – Operating and Investing:
Cash flow used in operations was approximately $399,000 for the first half of fiscal 2019, compared to cash provided by operations wasof approximately $2.7$1.6 million for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, compared2018. The decrease in cash flow from operations is primarily due to approximately $2.9 millionthe decrease in net income for the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2017.2019, as compared to the first half of fiscal 2018. We anticipate improvement in our cash flows provided by operations in future yearsperiods due to sales growth, particularly as a result of the Acquisition of ISP, and continued margin improvements based on production efficiencies and reductions in product costs, offset by marginal increases in selling, administrative, and new product development expenditures.
 
During the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018,2019, we expended approximately $2.5$1.2 million in investments in capital equipment, compared to approximately $1.4$1.9 million in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2017.2018. The majority of our capital expenditures during the first nine monthshalf of bothfiscal 2019 were for the purchase of equipment to enhance our lens coating capabilities and capacity, to allow minimal disruption during the process of relocating our Irvington Facility, as well as to strategically expand our production capabilities in other areas. Capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 were related to the purchase of equipment used to enhance or expand our production capacity toolingand capabilities, as well as the costs for our precision molded products,the expansion and equipment and facility improvements forto LPOIZ’s facility in Zhenjiang.Zhenjiang facility. Overall, we anticipate an increase inthat the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 2018, as compared to2019 will be lower than in fiscal 2017,2018, however, the total amount expended will depend on opportunities and circumstances.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2018, our principal commitments consisted of obligations under operating and capital leases, and debt agreements. No material changes occurred during the first half of fiscal 2019 in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt or to make payments under operating and capital leases, or in our contingent liabilities as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any activities involving variable interest entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

How we operate:We Operate
We have continuing sales of two basic types: occasional sales via ad-hoc purchase orders of mostly standard product configurations (our “turns” business) and the more challenging and potentially more rewarding business of customer product development. In this latter type of business, we work with customers to help them determine optical specifications and even create certain optical designs for them, including complex multi-component designs that we call “engineered assemblies.” This is followed by “sampling” small numbers of the product for the customers’ test and evaluation. Thereafter, should a customer conclude that our specification or design is the best solution to their product need; we negotiate and “win” a contract (sometimes called a “design win”) – whether of a “blanket purchase order” type or a supply agreement. The strategy is to create an annuity revenue stream that makes the best use of our production capacity, as compared to the turns business, which is unpredictable and uneven. This annuity revenue stream can also generate low-cost, high-volume type orders. A key business objective is to convert as much of our business to the design win and annuity model as is possible. We face several challenges in doing so:
 
Maintaining an optical design and new product sampling capability, including a high-quality and responsive optical design engineering staff;
 
The fact that as our customers take products of this nature into higher volume, commercial production (for example, in the case of molded optics, this may be volumes over one million pieces per year) they begin to work seriously to reduce costs – which often leads them to turn to larger or overseas producers, even if sacrificing quality; and
 
Our small business mass means that we can only offer a moderate amount of total productive capacity before we reach financial constraints imposed by the need to make additional capital expenditures – in other words, because of our limited cash resources and cash flow, we may not be able to service every opportunity that presents itself in our markets without arranging for such additional capital expenditures.
 
Despite these challenges to winning more “annuity” business, we nevertheless believe we can be successful in procuring this business because of our unique capabilities in optical design engineering that we make available on the merchant market, a market that we believe is underserved in this area of service offering. Additionally, we believe that we offer value to some customers as a source of supply in the U.S.United States should they be unwilling to commit their entire source of supply of a critical component to foreign merchant production sources. We also continue to have the proprietary GRADIUM lens glass technology to offer to certain laser markets.
 

Our Key Performance Indicators:
 
Our key indicators:
Usually on a weekly basis, management reviews a number of performance indicators. Some of these indicators, areboth qualitative and others are quantitative. These indicators change from time to time as the opportunities and challenges in the business change. They are mostly non-financial indicators, such as units of shippable output by product line, production yield rates by major product line and the output and yield data from significant intermediary manufacturing processes that support the production of the finished shippable product. These indicators can be used to calculate such other related indicators as fully yielded unit production per-shift, which varies by the particular product and our state of automation in production of that product at any given time. Higher unit production per shift means lower unit cost and, therefore, improved margins or improved ability to compete, where desirable, for price sensitive customer applications. The data from these reports isare used to determine tactical operating actions and changes. We believe that our non-financial production indicators, such as those noted, are proprietary information.
  
Financial indicators that are usuallyconsidered key and reviewed at the same time include the major elements of the micro-level business cycle:regularly are as follows:
 
sales backlog;
revenue dollars and units by product group;
● 
inventory levels;
● 
accounts receivable levels and quality; and
other key indicators.
 
These indicators are similarlyalso used to determine tactical operating actions and changes and are discussed in more detail below.
 

Sales Backlog:Backlog
Sales growth has been and continues to be our best indicator of success. Our best view into the efficacy of our sales efforts is in our “order book.” Our order book equates to sales “backlog.” It has a quantitative and a qualitative aspect: quantitatively, our backlog’s prospective dollar value and qualitatively, what percent of the backlog is scheduled by the customer for date-certain delivery. We define our “12-month backlog” as that which is requested by the customer for delivery within one year and which is reasonably likely to remain in the backlog and be converted into revenues. This includes customer purchase orders and may include amounts under supply contracts if they meet the aforementioned criteria. Generally, a higher 12-month backlog is better for us.
 
Our 12-month backlog at MarchDecember 31, 2018 was approximately $12.9$18.1 million, an increase of 41%, compared to $9.3$12.8 million as of June 30, 2017.2018. Backlog growth rates for the last five fiscal quarters are as follows:

The increase in our 12-month backlog from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2018fiscal 2019 was largely due to the renewal of a large annual contract during the second quarter, which we beganwill begin shipping against in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.2019. Our 12-month backlog has continued to grow since the previous renewal of this contract in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018, with continued orderas shipments against this industrial contract have been offset by increased bookings growthin other areas, including from the industrialtelecommunications, commercial and medical sectorssectors.
 
We continue to diversify our business by developing new applications for our products in markets, including advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”), LIDARlight detection and ranging (“LIDAR”) sensing, spectrographic, and fiber delivery technologies. Many of these products are being designed for higher margin applications within the automotive electronics, healthcaremedical and defense sectors. The Acquisitionacquisition of ISP has also broadened our capabilities to include additional glass types and the ability to make much larger lenses, providing longer termlong-term opportunities for our technology roadmap and market share expansion. Based on our backlog and recent quote activity, we expect increases in revenue from sales of ourboth molded and turned infrared products and specialty products for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

Three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2018
Our revenue was flat inincreased approximately $187,000, or 2%, for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, as compared to the prior year period, with increasesprimarily driven by an increase in PMO product sales, offset by decreases in infrared and specialty products, offset by a decrease in HVPMO.product sales.
 
Revenue from the LVPMOPMO product group increased by 13% duringfor the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019 was $4.1 million, an increase of approximately $808,000, or 24%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Sales of PMO units increased by 36%, as compared to the prior year period, however, average selling prices decreased 9%, due to the mix of products shipped. The increase in revenue and units sold was primarily due to an increase in sales to customers in the telecommunications market.
Revenue generated by the infrared product group during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $508,000, or 12%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increasedecrease in revenue is primarily attributabledue to higher sales to customers in the medical industry, while sales to customers intiming of the telecommunications industry were flat. Unit shipment volume in LVPMO lenses increased by 5% inrenewal of a large annual contract, as we shipped the thirdbalance of the existing contract before the renewal was finalized, which reflects our expanding manufacturing capacity. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, and the average sales price increased by 7%, comparatively, driven by the mix of products shipped.
The HVPMO product group decreased, with revenue decreasing by 29% during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Unit shipment volume was essentially flat, and the average sales price decreased by 29% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, due to market conditions in the telecommunications sector.
We had 10% growth in the infrared product group during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, which primarily consisted of revenues generated by ISP. The third quarter of 2017 was the first full quarter following the Acquisition of ISP; therefore, the third quarter of 2018 is the first full quarter-over-quarter comparison. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, sales of infrared units decreasedincreased by 3%10%, as compared to the prior year period, and average selling prices increased 13%, due to the mixdecreased by 20%. These changes are driven by an increase in sales of molded infrared products, shipped.which are higher in volume and lower in price than diamond turned infrared products. Industrial applications, firefighting cameras and other public safety applications are the primary drivers of the increased demand for infrared products.
 
In the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, our specialty productproducts revenue increaseddecreased by 22%$113,000, or 14%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year,year. This decrease is primarily as a result of additional orders fromdue to lower sales to customers in the defense sector.commercial and industrial markets, partially offset by increased sales to medical customers.
 
Revenues generated by our NRE products group decreased by 68% inSix months ended December 31, 2018
Our revenue increased approximately $1.2 million, or 7%, for the third quarterfirst half of fiscal 2018,2019, as compared to the prior year period, driven by increases in both infrared and PMO, partially offset by a decrease in specialty product sales.
Revenue from the PMO product group for the first half of fiscal 2019 was approximately $7.2 million, an increase of approximately $697,000, or 11%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Sales of PMO units increased by 1%, as compared to the prior year period, and average selling prices increased 9%, due to the mix of products shipped. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase in sales to customers in the telecommunications markets, as well as to customers in the defense market, partially offset by decreases in sales to customers in the medical and commercial markets.
Revenue generated by the infrared product group during the first half of fiscal 2019 was approximately $8.7 million, an increase of $852,000, or 11%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. During the first half of fiscal 2019, sales of infrared units increased by 40%, as compared to the prior year period, and average selling prices decreased by 21%. These changes are due to the following: (i) a shift in infrared revenue mix driven by a large-volume order, as compared to the half quarter of the prior fiscal year, and (ii) an increase in sales of molded infrared products, which are higher in volume and lower in price than diamond turned infrared products. Industrial applications, firefighting cameras and other public safety applications are the primary drivers of the increased demand for infrared products.
In the first half of fiscal 2019, our specialty products revenue decreased by $385,000, or 25%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily related to revenues generated for NRE projects, which are now included in this product group. NRE revenue is project based and the timing of any such projects is wholly dependent on our customers and their project activity. Accordingly, management doesThe first half of fiscal 2018 included a large NRE project, which was not include NRE in its projections or forecasts for purposes of developing its operating plan and budget.
Nine months ended March 31, 2018
Our revenue increased by 26%repeated in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 2018, as compared to the prior year period, with growth driven primarily from the infrared product group, which expanded significantly with the Acquisition of ISP.
We had a 6% decrease in revenue generated by LVPMO sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to2019. There was also a decrease in sales of specialty products to customers in the telecommunications industry,commercial and industrial markets, partially offset by an increase inincreased sales to customers in the medical industry. Although our unit shipment volume in LVPMO lenses decreased by 18% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, the average sales price increased by 15%, comparatively, driven by the mix of products shipped. The increases in the average sales price was not large enough to offset the decrease in volume.

Revenues generated by the HVPMO product group also decreased, with revenue decreasing by 24% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily attributed to applications for position sensors, including next generation products and industrial tools, as well as sales to customers in the telecommunications industry. Unit shipment volume decreased by 10%, and the average sales price decreased by 16% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, due to market conditions in the telecommunications sector.
We had significant growth in the infrared product group, which primarily consisted of revenues generated by ISP. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, sales of infrared units increased by 67%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, resulting in infrared product revenue increasing by 131% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the prior year period. The increases in revenue and units sold was primarily derived from sales to customers in the thermal market.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2018, our specialty product revenue decreased by 6%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of fewer orders from customers in the medical industry.
Revenues generated by our NRE products group increased by 15% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. NRE revenue is project based and timing of any such projects is wholly dependent on our customers and their project activity. Accordingly, management does not include NRE in its projections or forecasts for purposes of developing its operating plan and budget.
Inventory Levels:
We manage our inventory levels to minimize investment in working capital but still have the flexibility to meet customer demand to a reasonable degree. Management constantly reviews our inventory amounts, and, if such amount substantially increases or decreases, management will further investigate the causes of any such fluctuations. While the amount and mix of inventory is an important factor, including adequate safety stocks of long lead-time materials, another important aggregate measure of inventory in all phases of production is the quarter’s ending inventory expressed as a number of days’ worth of the quarter’s cost of sales, also known as “days cost of sales in inventory,” or “DCSI.” It is calculated by dividing the quarter’s ending inventory by the quarter’s cost of goods sold, multiplied by 365 and divided by 4. Generally, a lower DCSI measure equates to a lesser investment in inventory and, therefore, more efficient use of capital. During the third quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our DCSI was 112 and 109 respectively, compared to an average DCSI of 139 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The third quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 include ISP for the full quarter, whereas ISP is only included for approximately half of the year ended June 30, 2017. Our goal is to reduce our DCSI to 100 or less.
Accounts Receivable Levels and Quality:
Similarly, we manage our accounts receivable to minimize investment in working capital. We measure the quality of receivables by the proportions of the total that are at various increments past due from our normally extended terms, which are generally 30 days. Management closely manages outstanding accounts receivable and promptly takes action once amounts are outstanding more than 30 days. An important aggregate measure of accounts receivable is the quarter’s ending balance of net accounts receivable expressed as a number of days’ worth of the quarter’s net revenues, also known as “days sales outstanding,” or “DSO.” It is calculated by dividing the quarter’s ending net accounts receivable by the quarter’s net revenues, multiplied by 365 and divided by 4. Generally, a lower DSO measure equates to a lesser investment in accounts receivable, and, therefore, more efficient use of capital. For the third quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our DSO was 61 and 62, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2017, our average DSO was 67. We strive to have a DSO no higher than 65.customers.
 
Other Key Indicators:Indicators
Other key indicators include various operating metrics, some of which are qualitative and others are quantitative. These indicators change from time to time as the opportunities and challenges in the business change. They are mostly non-financial indicators, such as on timeon-time delivery trends, units of shippable output by major product line, production yield rates by major product line, and the output and yield data from significant intermediary manufacturing processes that support the production of the finished shippable product. These indicators can be used to calculate such other related indicators as fully-yielded unit production per-shift, which varies by the particular product and our state of automation in production of that product at any given time. Higher unit production per shift means lower unit cost and, therefore, improved margins or improved ability to compete, where desirable, for price sensitiveprice-sensitive customer applications. The data from these reports is used to determine tactical operating actions and changes. Management also assesses business performance and makes business decisions regarding our operations using certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are described in more detail below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
 

 
Non-GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We report our historical results in accordance with GAAP; however, our management also assesses business performance and makes business decisions regarding our operations using certain non-GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition and results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that other companies use.
 
Adjusted Net Income:Income
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management, lenders, and certain investors, as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of some aspects of a corporation’s financial position and core operation performance. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate our underlying operating performance. We believe adjusted net income may be helpful for investors as one means of evaluating our operational performance.
We calculate adjusted net income by excluding the change in the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with our private placement in June 2012 Warrants from net income. The fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was re-measured each reporting period until the warrants were exercised or expired (which expiration occurred on December 11, 2017.2017). In each reporting period during the term of June 2012 Warrants,warrants, the change in the fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was either recognized as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The change in the fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was not impacted by our actual operations but was instead strongly tied to the change in the market value of our Class A common stock. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate our operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. We believe the use of adjusted net income may be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our operational performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:EBITDA
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, lenders, and certain investors as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of some aspects of a corporation'scorporations’ financial position and core operating performance. Investors sometimes use EBITDA, as it allows for some level of comparability of profitability trends between those businesses differing as to capital structure and capital intensity by removing the impacts of depreciation and amortization. EBITDA also does not include changes in major working capital items, such as receivables, inventory and payables, which can also indicate a significant need for, or source of, cash. Since decisions regarding capital investment and financing and changes in working capital components can have a significant impact on cash flow, EBITDA is not necessarily a good indicator of a business'sbusiness' cash flows. We use EBITDA for evaluating the relative underlying performance of our core operations and for planning purposes. We calculate EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, thus the term “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” and the acronym “EBITDA.”
 

 
We also calculate an adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the effect of the non-cash income or expense associated with the mark-to-market adjustments, related to our June 2012 Warrants.warrants. The fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was re-measured each reporting period until the warrants were either exercised or expired (which expiration occurred on December 11, 2017.2017). Each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was either recognized as a non-cash expense or non-cash income. The change in the fair value of the June 2012 Warrantswarrants was not impacted by our actual operations but iswas instead strongly tied to the change in the market value of our Class A common stock. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our underlying operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. We believe this adjusted EBITDA is helpful for investors to better understand our underlying business operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any activities involving variable interest entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 daterelocation of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods presented. Our critical estimates include the allowance for trade receivables, which is made up of reserves for bad debts, inventory reserves for obsolescence, valuation of compensation expense on stock-based awards and accounting for income taxes. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates given a change in conditions or assumptions that have been consistently applied. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as our policy for revenue recognition, however, the application of these policies does not require us to make significant estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

Allowance for accounts receivableis calculated by taking 100% of the total of invoices that are over 90 days past due from due date and 10% of the total of invoices that are over 60 days past due from the due date for U.S.-based accounts and 100% on invoices that are over 120 days past due for China and Latvia-based accounts without an agreed-upon payment plan. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. Recovery of bad debt amounts which were previously written-off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. If our actual collection experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. To date, our actual results have been materially consistent with our estimates, and we expect such estimates to continue to be materially consistent in the future.
Inventory obsolescence reserveis calculated by reserving 100% for items that have not been sold in two years, items that have not been purchased in two years, or items for which we have more than a two-year supply. These items as identified are reserved at 100%, as well as reserving 50% for other items deemed to be slow moving within the last twelve months and reserving 25% for items deemed to have low material usage within the last six months. The parts identified are adjusted for recent order and quote activity to determine the final inventory reserve. To date, our actual results have been materially consistent with our estimates, and we expect such estimates to continue to be materially consistent in the future.
Revenueis recognized from product sales when products are shipped to the customer, provided that we have received a valid purchase order, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of the associated receivable is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Revenues from product development agreements are recognized as milestones as completed in accordance with the terms of the agreements and upon shipment of products, reports or designs to the customer. Invoiced amounts for VAT related to sales are posted to the balance sheet and not included in revenue.
Stock-based compensationis measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Most options granted under the Omnibus Plan vest ratably over two to four years and generally have ten-year contract lives. The volatility rate is based on four-year historical trends in common stock closing prices and the expected term was determined based primarily on historical experience of previously outstanding options. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities. The likelihood of meeting targets for option grants that are performance based are evaluated each quarter. If it is determined that meeting the targets is probable, then the compensation expense will be amortized over the remaining vesting period.
Accounting for income taxesrequires estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits, and deductions, and in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. We assessed the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and concluded that a valuation allowance is needed to reserve the amount of the deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the uncertainty of the timing and amount of taxable income in certain jurisdictions. In reaching our conclusion, we evaluated certain relevant criteria, including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to realize deferred tax assets, the taxable income in prior carryback years in the impacted state jurisdictions that can be used to absorb net operating losses and taxable income in future years. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These changes, if any, may require material adjustments to these deferred tax assets, resulting in a reduction in net income orIrvington Facility, an increase in net lossnew product development costs of approximately $194,000, and an approximately $797,000 unfavorable difference in the period when such determinations are made, which, in turn, may result in an increase or decrease to our tax provision in a subsequent period.foreign exchange gains and losses.
 
In the ordinary course of global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost reimbursement and royalty arrangements among related entities, which could impact our income or loss in each jurisdiction we operate in. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. In the event our assumptions are incorrect, the differences could have a material impact on our income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made. In addition to the factors described above, our current and expected effective tax rate is based on then-current tax law. Significant changes during the year in enacted tax law could affect these estimates.

Item 4. ControlsControls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))Act) as of MarchDecember 31, 2018, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of MarchDecember 31, 2018 in reporting on a timely basis information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
 
During the fiscal quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On May 11, 2018, we entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended LSA, relating to our previously disclosed Term II Loan and Revolving Line, with AvidBank. The Third Amendment (i) amends the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and (ii) amends Section 6.8(a) of the Amended LSA to require that we, and each of our domestic subsidiaries, maintain all of our domestic depository and operating accounts with AvidBank beginning on June 1, 2018 and to prohibit us from maintaining a domestic account balance outside of AvidBank that exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) during the transition period. The Third Amendment also amends Section 6.9(a) of the Amended LSA to require that we maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, as measured on June 30, 2018, of at least 1.10 to 1.00, and thereafter, beginning with the quarter ending on September 30, 2018, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, AvidBank granted us a waiver of default arising prior to the Third Amendment from our failure to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio measured on March 31, 2018. Based on the waiver, we are no longer in default of the Term II Loan or Revolving Line.
The foregoing descriptions of the Third Amendment are summaries only, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Third Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 10.7.
