NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

December 31, 2023

NOTE 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business:

Napco Security Technologies, Inc (“NAPCO”, “the Company”, “we”) is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, cellular communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by fast growing recurring service revenues generated from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems, as well as our school security products that are designed to meet the increasing needs to enhance school security as a result of on-campus shooting and violence in the U.S. Our wireless communication services have led to substantial growth in our monthly recurring revenues.

The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Historically, the end users of the Company’s hardware products want to install these products prior to the summer; therefore, sales of these products historically peak in the period April 1 through June 30, the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, and are reduced in the period July 1 through September 30, the Company's fiscal first quarter. In addition, demand for all of our products may be affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend. The monthly recurring service revenue, which is less susceptible to these fluctuations, allows us to generate a more consistent and predictable stream of income and mitigates the risk of fluctuation in market demand for our equipment products.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical estimates include management’s judgments associated with reserves for sales returns and allowances, allowance for credit losses, overhead expenses applied to inventory, inventory reserves, valuation of intangible assets, share based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits, marketable securities, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 due to their short-term maturities. Lease liabilities reflect fair value based on prevailing market rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments – other

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $25,838,000 of short-term time deposits, consisting of several certificates of deposit totaling $5,275,000 and $20,562,000 in money market funds as of December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $15,242,000 of short-term time deposits, consisting of several certificates of deposit totaling $15,179,000 and $63,000 in a money

Table of Contents

market fund as of June 30, 2023. The Company classifies these highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Certificates of deposit with an original maturity greater than three months are classified as Investments-other.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following as of (in thousands):


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023

Cash	$	21,474	$	20,713
Money Market Fund		20,562		63
Certificates of Deposit		5,275		15,179
	$	47,311	$	35,955

Investments-other consists of the following as of (in thousands):


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023

Certificates of Deposit	$	26,332	$	25,660
	$	26,332	$	25,660

Certificates of deposit are recorded at the original cost plus accrued interest. The Company’s Certificates of deposits consist of the following as of (in thousands):


December 31, 2023

Balance Sheet Classification	Interest Rate		Maturity Date		Cost		Carrying Value
Cash and Cash Equivalents		5.10%		2/22/2024	$	5,245	$	5,275
Investments - other		5.10% - 5.40%		2/23/2024 - 4/24/2024		26,015		26,332

The Company has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC and other international agencies as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company has not historically experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limits.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in other expense (income). Realized gains or losses on mutual funds are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company would record an impairment charge if the cost of the available-for-sale securities exceeds the estimated fair value of the securities and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not record an impairment charge regarding its investment in marketable securities because

Table of Contents

management believes, based on its evaluation of the circumstances, that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Company’s marketable securities is temporary.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for credit losses of $96,000 and $131,000 as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Our reserves for credit losses are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The reported net value of inventory includes finished saleable products, work-in-process and raw materials that will be sold or used in future periods. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and overhead. The Company’s overhead expenses are applied based, in part, upon estimates of the proportion of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials as compared to the manufacture and assembly of finished products. These proportions, the method of their application, and the resulting overhead included in ending inventory, are based in part on subjective estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated realizable value. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, product life cycle, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product to better match customer demand. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage.

The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major renewals and improvements are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in income.

Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets using primarily the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term, whichever is shorter.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets in question may not be recoverable. Impairment would be recorded in circumstances where undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than the carrying value of that asset.

Table of Contents

Intangible assets consisted of the follows (in thousands):


	December 31, 2023						June 30, 2023
	Carrying		Accumulated		Net book		Carrying		Accumulated		Net book
	value		amortization		value		value		amortization		value

	$	13,848	$	(10,077)	$	3,771	$	13,848	$	(9,909)	$	3,939

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $84,000 and $90,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $168,000 and $181,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2024 - $336,000; 2025 - $315,000; 2026 - $297,000; 2027 - $283,000; and 2028 - $269,000. The weighted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets was 15.1 years and 15.5 years at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

For product sales, the Company typically transfers control at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the product. For monthly communication services the Company satisfies its performance obligation as the services are rendered and therefore recognizes revenue over the monthly period.

Typically timing of revenue recognition coincides with the timing of invoicing to the customers, at which time the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. As such, the Company typically records a receivable when revenue is recognized.

The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. Payment for product sales is typically due within 30 and 180 days of the delivery date. Payment for monthly communication services is billed on a monthly basis and is typically due at the beginning of the month of service or in 30 days for customers with an open account.

In measuring revenue and determining the consideration the Company is entitled to as part of a contract with a customer, the Company takes into account the related elements of variable consideration. Such elements of variable consideration include product returns and sales incentives, such as volume rebates and discounts, and early-payment discounts.

The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months. The Company accepts returns for such defective products as well as for other limited circumstances. The Company also provides rebates to customers for meeting specified purchasing targets and other coupons or credits in limited circumstances. The Company establishes reserves for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and measures such variable consideration based on the expected value method using an analysis of historical data. Changes to the estimated variable consideration in subsequent periods are not material.

The Company analyzes sales returns, rebates and credits and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns, rebates and credits are based on several factors including actual returns, rebates and credits and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns, rebates and credits analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are included in "Selling, General and Administrative" (“SG&A”) expenses in the consolidated statements of income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was

$696,000 and $505,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,457,000 and $1,259,000, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development (“R&D”) costs incurred by the Company are charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Company-sponsored R&D expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,542,000 and $2,222,000, respectively. Company-sponsored R&D expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $4,979,000 and $4,650,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company measures and recognizes the tax implications of positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns on an ongoing basis. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding.

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):


	Net Income				Weighted Average Shares		Net Income per Share

These options were still outstanding at the end of the period.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established five share incentive programs as discussed in Note 9.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires assumptions and judgments about expected volatility and forfeiture rates, among other factors.

Stock-based compensation costs of $303,000 and $335,000 were recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs of $610,000 and $812,000 were recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined the functional currency of all foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. All foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company’s operations. The day-to-day operations of all foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S. Dollar. Therefore, no realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation are recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Comprehensive Income

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s operations did not give rise to material items includable in comprehensive income, which were not already included in net income. Accordingly, the Company’s comprehensive income approximates its net income for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable operating segments are determined based on the Company’s management approach. The management approach is based on the way that the chief operating decision maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company’s results of operations are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on a consolidated basis and the Company operates in only one segment. The Company has presented required geographical data in Note 14.

Shipping and Handling Sales and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($103,000 and $128,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $186,000 and $240,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively); and classifies the costs associated with these sales in cost of sales ($389,000 and $454,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $760,000 and $848,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively).

Leases

The Company records a right of use asset and corresponding liability for the operating lease on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding short-term leases (leases with terms of 12 months or less) as described under ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lease payments are discounted using a third-party secured incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement. The Company analyzes whether or not amendments to existing leases classify as a Lease Modification or a full or partial termination of the existing lease. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies; Leases for additional accounting policies and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform (ASC Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide optional relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is expected to be phased out for new arrangements at the end of calendar 2021, and applies to lease contracts, hedging instruments, held-to-maturity debt securities and debt arrangements that have LIBOR as the benchmark rate.

The Company’s bank has notified the Company that its LIBOR option, which was available to it through June 30, 2023, has shifted to the Benchmark Replacement as defined in the agreement with the bank. The new benchmark rate is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (see Note 8). The Company does not believe that this transition will have a material impact on its financial condition.

NOTE 2 – Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

The Company is engaged in one major line of business: the development, manufacture, and distribution of security products, encompassing access control systems, door security products, intrusion and fire alarm systems, alarm communication services, and video surveillance products for commercial and residential use. The Company also provides wireless communication service for intrusion and fire alarm systems on a monthly basis. All of these products and services are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold primarily to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. Sales to unaffiliated customers are primarily shipped from the United States.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company included refund liabilities of approximately $4,612,000 and $5,521,000, respectively, in current liabilities. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company included return-related assets of approximately $1,221,000 and $1,338,000, respectively, in other current assets.

As a percentage of gross sales, returns, rebates and allowances were 6% and 5% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a percentage of gross sales, returns, rebates and allowances were 5% for both the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in the accounting policy footnote, the Company’s business consists of one operating segment. Following is the disaggregation of revenues based on major product lines (in thousands):


	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

NOTE 3 – Business and Credit Concentrations

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. Such risks of loss manifest themselves differently, depending on the nature of the concentration, and vary in significance. The Company had two customers with an accounts receivable balance that comprised of 19% and 10% as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the accounts receivable balance with these respective customers were 19% and 14%. Sales to either of these customers did not exceed 10% of net sales during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 4 – Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in fixed income mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds, and are reported at their fair values. The disaggregated net gains and losses on the marketable securities recognized within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Net gains recognized during the period on marketable securities	$	75	$	—	$	117	$	—

	$	203	$	35	$	188	$	(118)

The fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined as being the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company utilizes the three-tier value hierarchy, as prescribed by US GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s marketable securities, which are considered available-for-sale securities, are re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis and are valued using Level 1 inputs using quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets.

The following tables summarize the Company’s investments at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively (in thousands):


	December 31, 2023						June 30, 2023
					Unrealized						Unrealized
	Cost		Fair Value		Gain (Loss)		Cost		Fair Value		Gain (Loss)
Mutual Funds - Level 1	$	5,768		5,324	$	(444)	$	5,651	$	5,136	$	(515)

Investment income is recognized when earned and consists principally of interest income from fixed income mutual funds. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.

NOTE 7 - Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), tax benefit of R&D credits, and certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition de-recognition or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the quarter of the change.

For the six months ended December 31, 2023 the Company recognized total pre-tax book income of $26,529,000, comprised of $3,696,000 and $22,833,000 of domestic and foreign pre-tax book income, respectively.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued interest totaling $178,000, as well as $700,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, additional interest expense was accrued for in the amount of $39,000.

Table of Contents

The Company does not expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months due to statute of limitation lapses. We file a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in certain state and local and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2023, we remain subject to examination in all tax jurisdictions for all relevant jurisdictional statutes for fiscal years 2018 and thereafter.

In December 2022, the Company received a letter from the IRS (“IRS”) notifying it that the IRS has closed it's examination of the Company’s income tax return for fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. There has been no changes proposed in relation to this examination.

NOTE 8 - Long-Term Debt

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had a revolving line of credit of $11,000,000 (“Revolver Agreement”) which expires in June 2024. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company has no outstanding debt.

The Revolver Agreement also provides for a LIBOR-based interest rate option of LIBOR plus 1.15% to 2.00%, depending on the ratio of outstanding debt to EBITDA, which is to be measured and adjusted quarterly, a prime rate-based option of the prime rate plus 0.25% and other terms and conditions as more fully described in the Revolver Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Revolver Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of its domestic assets, including but not limited to, deposit accounts, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and fixtures and intangible assets. In addition, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, have issued guarantees and pledges of all of their assets to secure the Company’s obligations under the Revolver Agreement. All of the outstanding common stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries has been pledged to secure the Company’s obligations under the Revolver Agreement. The Revolver Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including, among others, restrictions on payment of dividends, restrictions on borrowings and compliance with certain financial ratios, as defined in the Revolver Agreement. In September 2020, the Company and its lender amended the Revolver Agreement, which had an expiration date of June 2021, to expire in June 2024. The amended Revolver Agreement also removed certain requirements and restrictions on the Company as well as removing the mortgage on the Company’s Amityville facility. The Company’s bank has notified the Company that its LIBOR option, which was available to it through June 30, 2023, has shifted to the Benchmark Replacement as defined in the agreement with the bank. The new benchmark rate is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company received the proceeds of promissory notes dated between April 17, 2020 and May 7, 2020 (the "PPP Loan Agreement"), entered into between the Company and HSBC Bank USA N.A., as lender (the "Lender). Lender made the loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP"), created by Section 1102 of the CARES Act and governed by the CARES Act, Section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, any rules or guidance that has been issued by the Small Business Association (“SBA”) implementing the PPP and acting as guarantor, or any other applicable loan program requirements, as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as amended from time to time. Pursuant to the PPP Loan Agreement, the Lender made loans to the Company with an aggregate principal amount of $3,904,000 (the "PPP Loan"). The PPP Loan and related extinguishment was accounted for in accordance with ASC 470 “Debt”.

Pursuant to the CARES Act, the loans may be forgiven by the SBA. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the PPP Loans were forgiven, in their entirety, in accordance with guidelines set forth in the PPP loan documents. The Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 in the amount of $3,904,000 within the other (expense) income section in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The SBA reserves the right to audit PPP forgiveness applications for a period of six years from the date of forgiveness. It has indicated that it will audit all of those that are in excess of $2 million.

NOTE 9 - Stock Options

The Company follows ASC 718 (“Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values and over the requisite service period. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $303,000 ($0.01 per basic and diluted share) and $335,000 ($0.01 per basic and diluted share), respectively, relating to stock-based compensation which are included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $610,000 ($0.01 per basic and diluted share) and $812,000 ($0.02 per

basic and diluted share), respectively, relating to stock-based compensation which are included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of income.

2012 Employee Stock Option Plan

In December 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan (the 2012 Employee Plan). The 2012 Employee Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired by the holders of such awards. Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options, which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-incentive stock options, to valued employees. Any plan participant who is granted ISOs and possesses more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company’s outstanding common stock must be granted an option with a price of at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and a term of 10 years.

Under the 2012 Employee Plan, stock options may be granted to valued employees with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At December 31, 2023, 478,980 stock options were outstanding, 289,728 stock options were exercisable and no further stock options were available for grant under this plan.

0 and 37,500 options were granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No options may be granted under this plan after December 2022. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	2023	2022
Risk-free interest rates	n/a	3.03	%
Expected lives	n/a	7.27 Years
Expected volatility	n/a	43	%
Expected dividend yields	n/a	0	%

The following table reflects activity under the 2012 Employee Plan for the six months ended December 31:

A total of 31,600 stock options were exercised during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. The 31,600 options that were exercised during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were settled by the Company withholding 20,567 from the shares issuable on exercise of the options. The withheld shares of Common Stock had an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price being paid. No cash was received from the option exercises during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 was $52,000 each period. 2,000 and 7,200 stock options were exercised during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

2012 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan

In December 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan (the 2012 Non-Employee Plan). This plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired by the holders of such awards. Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options to non-employee directors and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Napco Security Technologies, Inc (“NAPCO”, “the Company”, “we”) is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, cellular communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by fast growing recurring service revenues generated from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems, as well as our school security products that are designed to meet the increasing needs to enhance school security as a result of on-campus shooting and violence in the U.S. Our wireless communication services have led to the substantial growth in our monthly recurring revenues.

Since 1969, NAPCO has established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high-quality security solutions, building many of the industry’s widely recognized brands, such as NAPCO Security Systems, Alarm Lock, Continental Access, Marks USA, and other popular product lines: including Gemini and F64-Series hardwire/wireless intrusion systems and iSee Video internet video solutions. We are also dedicated to developing innovative technology and producing the next generation of reliable security solutions that utilize remote communications and wireless networks, including our StarLink, iBridge, and more recently the iSecure and Prima product lines. Today, businesses, institutions, homes, and people around the globe are protected by products from the NAPCO Group of Companies.

Economic and Other Factors

We are subject to the effects of general economic and market conditions. If the U.S. or international economic conditions deteriorate, our revenue, profit and cash-flow levels could be materially adversely affected in future periods. In the event of such deterioration, many of our current or potential future customers may experience serious cash flow problems and as a result may, modify, delay or cancel purchases of our products. Additionally, customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. If such events do occur, they may result in our fixed and semi-variable expenses becoming too high in relation to our revenues and cash flows.

Net Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $5,233,000, or 12.4%, to $47,547,000 as compared to $42,314,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was due primarily to revenue increases in recurring communication services ($3,660,000), Alarm Lock brand door-locking products ($166,000), Marks brand door-locking products ($1,492,000), and Napco brand intrusion products ($98,000) as partially offset by a decrease in Continental brand access control products ($183,000). Net Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $7,416,000, or 9.1%, to $89,223,000 as compared to $81,807,000 for the same period a year ago.

December 31, 2023 resulted from lower costs of certain components as compared to the same period a year ago when the Company was still feeling the effects of the global supply chain shortages. The price of these components had increased during the supply chain disruptions that impacted the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of net sales on service revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily the result of the increase in revenues as described above as well as a greater proportion of those revenues being generated by the Company’s fire radios, which generate higher monthly service charges than those of the Company’s intrusion radios. The increases in total Gross Profit and total Gross Profit as a Percentage of Net Sales resulted from the increases described above.

The Company's gross profit increased by $18,505,000 to $47,425,000, or 53.2% of net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $28,920,000, or 35.4% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on equipment sales was $15,245,000, or 28.5% of net equipment sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and $3,560,000, or 6.7% of net equipment sales, for the same period a year ago. Gross profit on service revenues was $32,180,000, or 89.8% of net service revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $25,360,000, or 88.4% of net service revenues, for the same period a year ago.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $320,000 to $2,542,000, or 5.3% of net sales, as compared to $2,222,000, or 5.3% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $329,000 to $4,979,000, or 5.6% of net sales, as compared to $4,650,000, or 5.7% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. The increase in research and development for the three and six months primarily resulted from compensation increases and additional staff.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $861,000 to $8,665,000 as compared to $7,804,000 for the same period a year ago. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 18.4% for the same period a year ago. The increase in SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to increases in legal and advertising expenses as well as additional expenses relating to the Company’s enhancing its internal control systems. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the increase in net sales being proportionally larger than the increase in SG&A expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $792,000 to $17,086,000 as compared to $16,294,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in SG&A expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to increases in legal and accounting fees, advertising expenses as well as additional expenses relating to the Company’s enhancing its internal control systems. These increased expenses were partially offset by decreased incentive compensation for certain executive officers. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 19.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 19.9% for the same period a year ago. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the increase in net sales being proportionally larger than the increase in SG&A expenses.

Interest and other income (expense), net for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $542,000 to income of $729,000 as compared to income of $187,000 for the same period a year ago. Interest and other income (expense), net for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $1,085,000 to income of $1,169,000 as compared to income of $84,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in income for the three and six months was primarily due to an increase in interest income on certificates of deposits.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $1,338,000 to $1,924,000 as compared to $586,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months was primarily due to higher taxable income in the U.S. The Company’s effective rate for income tax was 13.2% and 13.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $2,394,000 to $3,441,000 as compared to $1,047,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months was primarily due to higher taxable income in the U.S. The Company’s effective rate for income tax was 13.0% for the both the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $8,681,000 to $12,610,000 or $0.34 per diluted share as compared to $3,929,000 or $0.11 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $16,075,000 to $23,088,000 or $0.62 per diluted share as compared to $7,013,000 or $0.19 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has cash, certificates of deposit (“CD”) which mature within 12 months, and marketable securities which aggregate to $79 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company utilized a portion of its cash balance at June 30, 2023 ($117,000 of $35,955,000) to purchase marketable securities and other investments ($655,000) and property, plant and equipment ($682,000). The securities and investments consist of money market accounts, CD’s and time deposits. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated cash flows from operations of $18,693,000. The Company believes its current working capital, cash flows from operations and its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the next twelve months.

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 increased by $1,483,000 to $27,552,000 as compared to $26,069,000 at June 30, 2023. This increase was due primarily to initial sales of intrusion products to a large, new customer during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Inventories, which include both current and non-current portions, increased by $4,285,000 to $52,634,000 at December 31, 2023 as compared to $48,349,000 at June 30, 2023. The increase was due primarily to a build-up of inventory of the Company’s radio products in order to mitigate potential supply chain interruptions of these products. The increase was also due to the ongoing shortages of certain component parts and the Company purchasing large quantities of these hard-to-source component parts when they became available, even after the prices came down.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses, not including income taxes payable, increased by $1,525,000 to $21,211,000 as of December 31, 2023 as compared to $19,686,000 as of June 30, 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, which was the result of a large increase in the amount of component part purchases occurring towards the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2023 as compared to those purchases made towards the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in the accrued refund liabilities.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, long-term debt consisted of a revolving line of credit of $11,000,000 (“Revolver Agreement”), with no amounts outstanding, which expires in June 2024. The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants including, among others, restrictions on borrowings and compliance with certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. The Company’s long-term debt is described more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures or inventory purchases other than purchase orders issued in the normal course of business. In addition, the Company’s balance sheet reflects a refund liability of $4,612,000 as of December 31, 2023 for customer returns and promotional credits which is more fully discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's principal financial instrument is long-term debt (consisting of a revolving credit facility) that provides for interest based on the prime rate or SOFR as described in the agreement. The Company is affected by market risk exposure primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on amounts payable by the Company under these credit facilities.

All foreign sales transactions by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company has shifted foreign currency exposure onto its foreign customers. As a result, if exchange rates move against foreign customers, the Company could experience difficulty collecting unsecured accounts receivable, the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk relative to expenses incurred in Dominican Pesos ("RD$"), the local currency of the Company's production facility in the Dominican Republic. The result of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar to the RD$ would result in an annual increase or decrease in income from operations of approximately $940,000.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of December 31, 2023. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of December 31, 2023, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, management identified three material weaknesses in internal control as specified below.

One material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) over user access and change management review over certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. More specifically, several employees and IT consultants had full administrator access to allow them to perform certain job functions. The review of the IT activity of these employees and consultants was not adequately reviewed by other management level employees of the Company. Our business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the above ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted by a failure in the ITGC’s. We believe that these control deficiencies were a result of a lack of IT controls and procedures to assess program and data changes made in the IT environment by personnel that could impact internal controls over financial reporting.

The second material weakness in internal control related to the Company’s calculation of reserves for excess and slow-moving inventory. The reserve calculation is partially dependent on the Company’s sales forecast by sku. This control deficiency was a result of a lack of precise review controls over the accuracy and completeness of the forecasted sales and usage data and the historical sales data used in the reserve calculations.

The third material weakness related to the Company’s cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and inventory during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. COGS reflected in the Company’s Original Forms 10-Q for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 was based on inventory costing as of June 30, 2022. However, in the period following June 30, 2022, substantial fluctuations occurred in certain material costs. Our inventory costing process did not identify these fluctuations until the Company’s closing of its books for the period ended June 30, 2023, due to lack of precise reviews of inventory costs to identify material changes that would warrant interim adjustments, resulting in inventory being overstated and COGS being understated for the first three fiscal quarters. This resulted in overstatements of gross profit, operating income, income before the provision for income taxes and net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023.

Plans for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company engaged an external consultant to assist with its plan to remediate the material weaknesses. The remediation plan includes the following activities:

●

The Company installed monitoring software that logs and tracks the activity of the administrative users and generates reports of all logged activity. These reports are reviewed by qualified personnel periodically. All other users are provisioned access consistent with their job responsibilities and approved by a manager. Access recertifications are performed periodically.

●

The Company enhanced its review of the inventory forecast and added a reconciliation of the historical inventory data utilized in the forecast. The control processes include the inventory reconciliation and documentation of the reasons for any adjustments to the historical data by production, sales and finance management.

●

The Company refined the method it uses to calculate the cost of component parts and implemented a new control which expanded its review of the costs of components to identify any significant inventory cost fluctuations or errors prior to the filing of its quarterly and annual financial statements.

Our remediation efforts are ongoing and we will continue to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. Remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening our internal control environment will require a substantial effort throughout 2024 and beyond. We will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time to enable management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

While we believe the steps taken to date and those planned for implementation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not tested and concluded on the effectiveness of all remediation efforts identified herein. Accordingly, as we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses described above, we have and will continue to perform additional procedures prescribed by management, including the use of manual mitigating control procedures and employing any additional tools and resources deemed necessary, to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, except for the remediation efforts described above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting except as described above.
