The Company has developed and acquired a number of banking and credit union software systems. The Company's revenues are predominately earned by marketing those systems to financial institutions nationwide, by providing the conversion and implementation services for financial institutions to utilize JKHY systems, and by providing payment processing and other related services.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 equals the Company’s net income. Change in Accounting Policy The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, ("CECL") with an adoption date of July 1, 2020. As a result, the Company changed its accounting policy for allowance for credit losses. The accounting policy pursuant to CECL is disclosed below. The adoption of CECL resulted in an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment recorded in retained earnings as of July 1, 2020. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company monitors trade and other receivable balances and contract assets and estimates the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events. The following table summarizes allowance for credit losses activity for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Allowance for credit losses - beginning balance $ 7,267 $ 6,719 Cumulative effect of accounting standards update adoption — 493 Current provision for expected credit losses 540 540 Write-offs charged against allowance (145) (1,023) Recoveries of amounts previously written off (1) (3) Other — 5 Allowance for credit losses - ending balance $ 7,661 $ 6,731 Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2021 totaled $443,926 and at June 30, 2021 totaled $435,169. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of goodwill, customer relationships, computer software, and trade names acquired in business acquisitions in addition to internally developed computer software. The amounts are amortized, with the exception of those intangible assets with an indefinite life (such as goodwill), over an estimated economic benefit period, generally three to twenty years. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets totaled $952,036 and $921,050 at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Purchase of Investments At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had an investment in the preferred stock of Automated Bookkeeping, Inc. ("Autobooks") of $13,250, which represented a non-controlling share of the voting equity as of each date. The total investment was recorded at cost and is included within other non-current assets on the Company's balance sheet. There have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate an impairment and no price changes resulting from observing a similar or identical investment. An impairment and/or an observable price change would be an adjustment to recorded cost. Fair value will not be estimated unless there are identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Common Stock The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. Under this authorization, the Company may finance its share repurchases with available cash reserves or borrowings on its existing line-of-credit. The share repurchase program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended at any time. At September 30, 2021, there were 29,793 shares in treasury stock and the Company had the remaining authority to repurchase up to 5,198 additional shares. The total cost of treasury shares at September 30, 2021 was $1,613,202. During the first three months of fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased no shares. At June 30, 2021, there were 29,793 shares in treasury stock and the Company had authority to repurchase up to 5,198 additional shares. The total cost of treasury shares at June 30, 2021 was $1,613,202. During the first three months of fiscal 2021, the Company repurchased 400 shares. Income Taxes Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from such a position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Also, interest and penalties expense are recognized on the full amount of unrecognized benefits for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") applicable to interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, with updates to certain policies included in this Note 1. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) to state fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and its cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 was derived from audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business and financial results, including revenue, expenses, cost of revenues, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, such as new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19 (including the efficacy and distribution of any vaccines), as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2021 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for credit losses, as well as the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets. While there was not a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. |
