Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The Company has eight wholly owned subsidiaries, Genasys II Spain, S.A.U. (“Genasys Spain”), Genasys Communications Canada ULC (“Genasys Canada”), Genasys Singapore PTE Ltd, Genasys Puerto Rico, LLC, Zonehaven LLC, Evertel Technologies LLC, and Genasys Inc. (branch) in the United Arab Emirates and one currently inactive subsidiary, Genasys America de CV. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of these subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions (e.g., share-based compensation valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses , fair value of term loan and warrant liabilities, contingent consideration, valuation of inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserve, valuation of operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities, accrued bonus and valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company sells its products to a large number of geographically diverse customers. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. It is customary for the Company to require a deposit as collateral. As of September 30, 2024 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 15 %, 14 % and 11 % of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. As of September 30, 2023 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 22 %, 10 % and 10 % of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of September 30, 2024, there are $ 627 of cash and cash equivalents retained in foreign banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company also invests cash in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in the Company’s policy guidelines such as money market funds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds and Certificates of Deposit. These guidelines also limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of instrument. It is generally the Company’s policy to invest in instruments that have a final maturity of no longer than three years , with a portfolio weighted average maturity of no longer than 18 months. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $ 4,945 and $ 8,665 , respectively. The Company considers any amounts pledged as collateral or otherwise restricted for use in current operations to be restricted cash. In addition, the Company excludes from cash and cash equivalents cash required to fund specific future contractual obligations related to business combinations. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset unless amounts are not expected to be released and available for use in operations within one year. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amount of restricted cash was $ 345 and $ 854 , respectively, which is included in “Restricted cash” and “Long-term restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet. MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company’s investments in debt instruments are classified as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification and impairment on a quarterly basis. If the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost, the Company evaluates whether the impairment is considered other-than-temporary. This assessment considers management's intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, and whether the present value of expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the full impairment is recognized in earnings. If a credit loss exists but the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the security will be sold before recovery, the impairment is bifurcated into a credit loss component, recognized in earnings, and a noncredit loss component, recognized in other comprehensive income. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), as of October 1, 2023. This new standard adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the timelier recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The standard only impacts the Company’s trade receivables. The Company adopted the accounting standard as of October 1, 2023. There was no cumulative effect adjustment, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or existing internal controls. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses primarily for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of individual customers to make required payments. The Company maintains an allowance under ASC 326 , based on historical losses, changes in payment history, customer-specific information, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance under ASC 326 is updated as additional losses are incurred or information becomes available related to the customer or economic conditions. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses was $ 65 , as of both September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company writes off accounts receivable based on the age of the receivable and the facts and circumstances surrounding the customer and reasons for non-payment. Actual write-offs might differ from the recorded allowance. The Company ’ s historical credit losses have not been significant due to this dispersion and the financial stability of the Company's customers. The Company considers its historical credit losses to be immaterial to its business and, therefore, has not provided all the disclosures otherwise required by the standard. CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS The Company employs contract manufacturers for production of certain components and sub-assemblies. The Company may provide parts and components to such parties from time to time but recognizes no revenue or markup on such transactions. During fiscal years 2024 and 2023 , the Company performed assembly of products in-house using components and sub-assemblies from a variety of contract manufacturers and suppliers. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. Inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products intended for sale . The Company periodically makes judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of inventory. The carrying value of inventory is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected net realizable value is less than carrying value. The Company has inventory reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory, which is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company disposed of $ 284 of obsolete parts inventory that was included in the inventory reserve as of September 30, 2023. The Company then increased its inventory reserve by $ 288 during the year ended September 30, 2024 , for parts and demo equipment that may not be utilized. EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on machinery and equipment and office furniture and equipment is computed over the estimated useful lives of two to seven years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the lease or expected lease term. Upon retirement or disposition of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed, and a gain or loss is recorded. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires the Company to use significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the business combination date and to refine those estimates as necessary during the measurement period (defined as the period, not to exceed one year, in which the Company may adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination). Under the acquisition method of accounting the Company recognizes separately from goodwill the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed generally at the acquisition date fair value. The Company measures goodwill as of the acquisition date as the excess of consideration transferred, which the Company also measures at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Costs that the Company incurs to complete the business combination such as investment banking, legal and other professional fees are not considered part of consideration and the Company charges them to general and administrative expense as they are incurred. Under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, if the Company identifies changes to acquired deferred tax asset valuation allowances or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions during the measurement period and they relate to new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, those changes are considered a measurement period adjustment and the Company records the offset to goodwill. The Company records all other changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in current period income tax expense. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Identifiable intangible assets, which consist of technology, customer relationships, patents, trade names and trademarks, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, based on a number of assumptions including estimated periodic economic benefit and utilization. The estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets have been estimated to be between three and fifteen years . The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets, considering factors such as technological advancements, market trends, and the introduction of competing innovations. The carrying value of intangibles is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the carrying value exceeds fair value. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in our fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a single reporting unit below the carrying amount. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macro-economic conditions of the business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, a two-step impairment test is performed. For reporting units where the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company did no t record a goodwill impairment charge for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 . Refer to Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for more information. LEASES In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, the Company recognizes lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use-assets for all leases with terms of greater than 12 months. Refer to Note 13, Leases for more information. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in revenue. Actual shipping and handling costs were $ 128 and $ 289 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Actual revenues from shipping and handling were $ 187 and $ 392 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. ADVERTISING Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and were $ 454 and $ 512 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Technological feasibility for products is reached shortly before the products are released to manufacturing. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. WARRANTY RESERVES The Company warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty is generally limited. The Company currently provides direct warranty service. Some agreements with OEM customers, from time to time, may require that certain quantities of product be made available for use as warranty replacements. International market warranties are generally similar to the U.S. market. The Company also sells extended warranty contracts and maintenance agreements. The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenues are recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period. The warranty reserve was $ 76 and $ 132 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company determines its income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. A valuation allowance is recorded by the Company to the extent it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in assessing the ability to realize the Company’s deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income and the tax rates in effect at that time. Additional information regarding income taxes appears in Note 14, Income Taxes. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds the fair value, or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate impairment, an impairment loss is measured and recognized using the asset’s fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 . Refer to Note 6, Fair Value Measurements and Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a global provider of critical communications hardware and software solutions designed to alert, inform, and protect people. The Company operates in two business segments: Hardware and Software and its principal markets are North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. As reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on sales and operating income. Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets are primary assets identified by segment. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same for the Company as a whole and transactions between the two operating segments are eliminated in consolidation. Refer to Note 19, Segment Information, for additional information. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could occur if outstanding securities convertible into common stock were exercised or converted. Diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per common share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the net loss position of all periods presented. Refer to Note 18, Net Loss Per Share, for additional information. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Genasys Spain is the Euro and the functional currency of Genasys Canada is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada to the U.S. dollar at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The Company translates the revenue, costs and expenses of Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada to the U.S. dollar at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The Company includes translation gains and losses in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions undertaken in other currencies are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date and any transaction exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The translation gain for the period ending September 30, 2024 was $ 152 resulting from transactions between Genasys U.S. and Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there was a translation gain of $ 207 . SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to qualified and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) issued to employees, directors and consultants. For stock options, compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value and recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For RSUs, compensation expense is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. For RSUs with performance conditions, expense recognition is based on the probability of achieving the specified performance targets. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Refer to Note 16, Share-based Compensation, for additional information. RECLASSIFICATIONS Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2024 statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit. TERM LOAN The Company determined that it is eligible for the fair value option (“FVO”) election in connection with the Term Loan. The Term Loan meets the definition of a “recognized financial liability” which is an acceptable financial instrument eligible for the FVO under ASC 825-10-15-4 and do not meet the definition of any of the financial instruments found within ASC 825-10-15-5 that are not eligible for the FVO. The FVO election was made to enhance the relevance and transparency of information presented related to the features embedded in the Term Loan. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the Term Loan was estimated using a discounted cash flow method. Changes in the fair value of the Term Loan, other than changes associated with the Company ’ s own credit risk, are recorded as gains or losses in other income/expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Changes in fair value attributable to the Company ’ s own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss in the Company ’ s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. There have been no such changes for the year ended September 30, 2024. Under the FVO, debt issuance costs are recorded in other expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 12, Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities, for additional information. WARRANTS The warrants issued in conjunction with the Term Loan are classified as liabilities under ASC 815-40 due to not being indexed to the Company’s stock. The warrants are measured at fair value using Monte Carlo simulation to capture the down-round provision in the warrant agreement. Changes in fair value of the warrants, are recorded as gains or losses in other income/expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Refer to Note 12, Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities, for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently adopted pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses on financial assets including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and Leases (“ASC 842”) , which extended the effective date of ASC 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023 . The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information. Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “ Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it will be effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning October 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning October 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the updated standard will have on disclosures within the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as disaggregated information on income tax paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means it will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning October 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the updated standard will have on disclosure within the consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination	4. BUSINESS COMBINATION On October 4, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the membership interests in Evertel Technologies, LLC. (“Evertel”), pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Word Systems Operations, LLC (“Seller”) and Evertel. Evertel offers a secure and compliant mission-critical collaboration platform for the public safety market that connects public safety personnel, information, and tools in one space. The Evertel acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC Topic 805 . As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the purchase consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired recognized as goodwill. The estimated fair value of assets purchased, and liabilities assumed, in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value. The consideration consisted of the following: Cash paid $ 923 Common stock issued 2,082 Contingent Consideration 890 Acquisition holdback liability 230 Common stock to be issued 527 Working capital adjustment ( 15 ) $ 4,637 The Company funded the cash portion of the total consideration with available cash on hand. The Company also issued 986,486 shares of the Company’s common stock to the former owners of Evertel. The fair value of the Company’s stock on the closing date was $ 1.95 , resulting in the addition of $ 1,924 to additional-paid-in-capital. The contingent consideration liability is a current liability and recorded in the current portion of accrued liabilities. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded a $ 158 credit to additional-paid-in-capital and an addition to goodwill as this is consideration transferred to the former owners of Evertel during the second quarter of 2024, and the Company issued common stock to the former owners of Evertel and three key employees during the third quarter of 2024 to settle the obligation. The Company also recorded a holdback liability and an obligation to issue common stock as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. The holdback liability and the common stock will be released twelve months from the closing date, subject to amounts withheld for actual, pending or potential claims. The holdback liability was recorded as a current liability at $ 230 , which represented the fair value of the holdback liability as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the holdback liability has and will be adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The obligation to issue common stock was recorded as a credit to additional paid in capital for $ 527 on the acquisition date. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company and the former owners of Evertel, agreed on a working capital adjustment that resulted in a payment of $ 15 to the Company. The Company incurred $ 151 in expenses related to this transaction. $ 39 of the expenses were incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, $ 12 in the first fiscal quarter of 2024, $ 62 in the second fiscal quarter of 2024, $ 18 in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, and $ 20 in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024. The expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date is as follows: Assets acquired Accounts receivable $ 142 Prepaid expenses 27 Intangible assets 2,550 Goodwill 2,923 Total Assets $ 5,642 Liabilities assumed Accrued commissions $ 10 Deferred revenue 470 Deferred tax liability 525 Total liabilities 1,005 Net assets acquired $ 4,637 The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives are as follows: Fair Value Est.Useful Life (in years) Developed technology $ 2,290 7 Customer relationships 260 5 $ 2,550 Identifiable intangible assets consist of certain technology and customer relationships purchased from Evertel. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based upon several assumptions, including the estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets acquired is 6.8 years. These intangible assets are classified as Level 3 in the ASC Topic 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy. The goodwill for Evertel is attributable to combining the Company’s existing emergency communications solutions with the software and software development capabilities of Evertel to enhance product offerings. Goodwill is also attributable to the skill level of the acquired workforce. The Company performed analysis on the transaction and refined its calculations as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Goodwill value was finalized on October 4, 2024, and was the same as September 30, 2024. Goodwill from the Evertel acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2024 , $ 874 of the contingent consideration was issued to the former owners of Evertel. The Company paid $ 219 in cash and issued 236,343 shares of common stock. During the period since acquisition, the contingent consideration decreased $ 16 due to remeasurement adjustments. As of September 30, 2024 , no contingent consideration liability remained outstanding. The Company has included the operating results of Evertel in continuing operations in its condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. $ 994 in net revenues and $ 717 in net l oss of Evertel were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 .

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	Sep. 30, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition	5. REVENUE RECOGNITION ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized: 1. Identify the contract(s) with customers 2. Identify the performance obligations 3. Determine the transaction price 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations 5. Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations have been satisfied ASC 606 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products to customers, contracts, software license fees, other services and freight. The Company sells its products through its direct sales force and through authorized resellers and system integrators. The Company recognizes revenue for goods including software when all the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, no continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership of the goods is retained, no effective control over the goods sold is retained, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Software license revenue, maintenance and/or software development service fees may be bundled in one arrangement or may be sold separately. Product revenue Product revenue is recognized as a distinct single performance obligation when products are tendered to a carrier for delivery, which represents the point in time that the Company’s customer obtains control of the products. A smaller portion of product revenue is recognized when the customer receives delivery of the products. A portion of products are sold through resellers and system integrators based on firm commitments from an end user, and as a result, resellers and system integrators carry little or no inventory. The Company’s customers do not have a right to return product unless the product is found defective and therefore the Company’s estimate for returns has historically been insignificant. Perpetual licensed software The sale and/or license of software products is deemed to have occurred when a customer either has taken possession of, or has the ability to take immediate possession of, the software and the software key. Perpetual software licenses can include one-year maintenance and support services. In addition, the Company sells maintenance services on a stand-alone basis and is therefore capable of determining their fair value. On this basis, the amount of the embedded maintenance is separated from the fee for the perpetual license and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period to which the maintenance relates. Time-based licensed software The time-based license agreements include the use of a software license for a fixed term, generally one-year, and maintenance and support services during the same period. The Company does not sell time-based licenses without maintenance and support services and therefore revenues for the entire arrangements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term. Warranty, maintenance and services The Company offers extended warranty, maintenance and other services. Extended warranty and maintenance contracts are offered with terms ranging from one to several years, which provide repair and maintenance services after expiration of the original one-year warranty term. Revenues from separately priced extended warranty and maintenance contracts are recognized based on time elapsed over the service period and classified as contract and other revenues. Revenue from other services such as training or installation is recognized when the service is completed. Multiple performance obligations within an arrangement The Company has entered into a number of multiple performance obligations within an arrangement, such as the sale of a product or perpetual software licenses that may include maintenance and support (included in price of perpetual licenses) and time-based software licenses (that include embedded maintenance and support, both of which may be sold with software development services, training, and other product sales). In some cases, the Company delivers software development services bundled with the sale of the software. In an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the fair value of each element within the arrangement, including software and software-related services such as maintenance and support, using the known stand-alone selling price, or if unknown, an expected cost-plus margin approach to determine the stand-alone selling price. In general, elements in such arrangements are also sold on a stand-alone basis and stand-alone selling prices are observable. Revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on the fair value of each individual element and is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above are met, except for time-based licenses which are not unbundled. When software development services are performed and are considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue from the software development services on a stage of completion basis, and the revenue from the software when the related development services have been completed. The Company disaggregates revenue by reporting segment (Hardware and Software) and geographically to depict the nature of revenue in a manner consistent with its business operations and to be consistent with other communications and public filings. Refer to Note 19, Segment Information and Note 20, Major Customers, Suppliers and Related Information for additional details of revenues by reporting segment and disaggregation of revenue. Variable Consideration The transaction price may include variable consideration, such as rebates, discounts, and returns, estimated using the expected value or most likely amount method. These estimates are based on historical experience and contractual terms and are constrained to avoid significant revenue reversals. Adjustments are recognized when new information becomes available, and variable consideration is allocated to performance obligations as applicable. Contract assets and liabilities The Company enters into contracts to sell products and provide services and recognizes contract assets and liabilities that arise from these transactions. The Company recognizes revenue and corresponding accounts receivable according to ASC 606 and, at times, recognizes revenue in advance of the time when contracts give the Company the right to invoice a customer. Sales commissions are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Subscription related commission costs are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit. The Company may also receive consideration, per terms of a contract, from customers prior to transferring goods to the customer. The Company records customer deposits as a contract liability. Additionally, the Company may receive payments, most typically for service and warranty contracts, at the onset of the contract and before the services have been performed. In such instances, a deferred revenue liability is recorded. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after all revenue recognition criteria are met. The table below reflects the balances of contract liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, including the change between the periods. As of September 30, 2024 , contract asset balance is $ 150 . There was no contract assets as of September 30, 2023. The current portion of contract liabilities and the noncurrent portion are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities, noncurrent”, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 11, Accrued and Other Liabilities for additional details. The Company’s contract liabilities were as follows: Customer Deferred Total contract Balance as of September 30, 2023 $ 766 $ 3,254 $ 4,020 New performance obligations 6,294 8,163 14,457 Recognition of revenue as a result of satisfying performance obligations ( 5,454 ) ( 7,411 ) ( 12,865 ) Effect of exchange rate on deferred revenue — 6 6 Balance as of September 30, 2024 $ 1,606 $ 4,012 $ 5,618 Less: non-current portion — ( 369 ) ( 369 ) Current portion as of September 30, 2024 $ 1,606 $ 3,643 $ 5,249 Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations under an original contract with a term greater than one year which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $ 5,618 . The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $ 5,249 , or 93 % , of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, and the remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter. Practical Expedients In cases where the Company is responsible for shipping after the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company has elected to treat these activities as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company has elected to capitalize the cost to obtain a contract only if the period of amortization would be longer than one year. The Company only gives consideration to whether a customer agreement has a financing component if the period of time between transfer of goods and services and customer payment is greater than one year. The Company also utilizes the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	Sep. 30, 2024
Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows: Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date. Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation. The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities were determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the “Level 2” instruments were based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The valuation techniques used to measure the Term Loan debt and warrant liabilities were determined based on Level 3 inputs not observable in the market and significant to the instruments’ valuations. Refer to Note 12, Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities, for additional information regarding the valuation techniques and significant inputs used. Other than the Term Loan and the warrant liabilities, the Company did not have any financial instruments in the Level 3 category as of September 30, 2024. The Company did not have any financial instruments in the Level 3 category as of September 30, 2023. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. There have been no changes in Level 3 and no changes in valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Cash equivalents and marketable securities : The following tables present the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities’ costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value by major security type recorded as cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. Unrealized gains and losses from the remeasurement of marketable securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss until recognized in earnings upon the sale or maturity of the security. September 30, 2024 Cost Basis Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Cash Short-term Long-term Level 1: Money market funds $ 301 $ — $ — $ 301 $ 301 $ — $ — Level 2: Certificates of deposit 401 — — 401 152 — 249 U.S. government agency bonds 2,591 3 — 2,594 2,594 — Municipal securities 2,127 2 — 2,129 — 2,129 — Corporate bonds 3,219 3 — 3,222 — 3,222 — Subtotal 8,338 8 — 8,346 152 7,945 249 Total $ 8,639 $ 8 $ — $ 8,647 $ 453 $ 7,945 $ 249 September 30, 2023 Cost Basis Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Cash Short-term Long-term Level 1: Money market funds $ 2,307 $ — $ — $ 2,307 $ 2,307 $ — $ — Level 2: Certificates of deposit 301 — — 301 — 301 — Municipal securities 926 — ( 7 ) 919 — 919 — Corporate bonds 264 — ( 3 ) 261 — 261 — Subtotal 1,491 — ( 10 ) 1,481 — 1,481 — Total $ 3,798 $ — $ ( 10 ) $ 3,788 $ 2,307 $ 1,481 $ — The Company manages debt investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities that is intended to be available to meet current cash requirements. Historically, the gross unrealized losses related to the Company’s portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial, and primarily due to normal market fluctuations and not due to increased credit risk or other valuation concerns. There were no gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2024, and historically, such gross unrealized losses have been temporary in nature. The Company believes that it is probable the principal and interest will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms. The debt investment portfolio is reviewed at least quarterly, or when there are changes in credit risks or other potential valuation concerns, to identify and evaluate whether an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses or impairment would be necessary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the magnitude of the decline in market value, the length of time the market value has been below cost (or adjusted cost), credit quality, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As of September 30, 2024, there were no unrealized loss positions related to available-for-sale debt securities. The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to available-for-sale debt securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2023: As of September 30, 2023 In loss position < 12 months In loss position > 12 months Total in loss position Fair Value Gross Unrealized Loss Fair Value Gross Unrealized Loss Fair Value Gross Unrealized Loss Certificates of deposit $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — U.S. government agency bonds — — — — — — Municipal securities 684 ( 2 ) 235 ( 5 ) 919 ( 7 ) Corporate bonds — — 261 ( 3 ) 261 ( 3 ) $ 684 $ ( 2 ) $ 496 $ ( 8 ) $ 1,180 $ ( 10 ) Instruments measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Nonfinancial assets : Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets held and used, and right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized or for a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for goodwill and intangible assets acquired, were based on Level 3 inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of long-lived assets on a non-recurring basis based on a market valuation approach, engaging independent valuation experts to assist in the determination of fair value. There were no goodwill impairment charge for the year ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The following table presents nonfinancial assets that were subject to fair value measurement during the twelve months ended September 30, 2024. Certain intangible assets, operating lease ROU assets and goodwill are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities	Sep. 30, 2024
Term Loan And Warrant Liabilities [Abstract]
Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities	12. TERM LOAN AND WARRANT LIABILITIES On May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement, pursuant to which the Company received $ 14,700 in cash proceeds in exchange for a $ 15,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 3,068,182 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Warrants”). Because the Term Loan and Warrants were determined to be freestanding financial instruments both recorded subsequently at fair value, the proceeds received were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. Term Loan The principal of the Term Loan is $ 15,000 and is payable upon maturity on May 13, 2026. The Term Loan provides a two percent original issue discount to the lenders. The Company is required to make quarterly interest payments on the Term Loan. The Company may elect to pay quarterly interest on the Term Loan based on the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus five percent ( 5 %) in cash or the Company may elect to pay interest based on the three-month SOFR plus six percent ( 6 %) with 50 % paid in cash and the remainder paid by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may voluntarily redeem the Term Loan within one year of the issuance at 101 % of the principal amount and after one year at par value. The Term Loan includes financial covenants and contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. All obligations under the Term Loan are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial and reporting covenants of the Term Loan. The Company determined that the Term Loan was eligible for the FVO and accordingly elected the FVO for the Term Loan. This election was made because of operational efficiencies in valuing and reporting for the Term Loan instrument in its entirety at each reporting date. As a result of electing the FVO, the Term Loan was recorded at fair value with subsequent remeasurements at fair value each reporting period. The Company recognizes the resulting gain or loss related to changes to the fair value of the Term Loan on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense). The change in fair value related to the accrued interest components of the Term Loan is also included within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Direct costs and fees related to the Term Loan were expensed as incurred within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company utilized the discounted cash flow method with reliance on the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the Term Loan at issuance and subsequently at each reporting date. The fair value of the Term Loan was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The significant fair value assumption is the discount rate, which was 27.2 % and 26.0 % as of May 13, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively. A summary of the changes in the fair value of the Term Loan Level 3 roll forward was as follows: Year Ended September 30, 2024 Beginning Balance $ — Transfer in 11,575 Change in fair value related to non-credit risk in net income 435 Change in fair value related to credit risk in OCI — Fair value as of September 30, 2024 $ 12,010 Warrant Liabilities The Company issued Warrants to the lenders to purchase up to 3,068,182 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $ 2.53 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants are exercisable upon issuance through May 13, 2029 and may be exercised via cashless exercise. The Warrants are recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date from issuance. Any change in fair value is recognized in other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company utilized the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the warrant liabilities at issuance and subsequently at each reporting date. The fair value of the warrant liabilities is the present value of the warrant payoff at expiration; discounted at the risk-free rate. The fair value of the warrant liabilities was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The following is a summary of the fair value assumptions applied in determining the initial fair value and the subsequent fair value of the warrant liabilities as of each respective date: Year Ended September 30, 2024 Beginning Balance $ — Transfer in 3,125 Change in fair value in net income 3,515 Fair value as of September 30, 2024 $ 6,640 A summary of the changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities Level 3 roll forward was as follows: May 13, September 30, 2024 2024 Discount Rate 4.5 % 3.6 % Volatility 55.0 % 58.0 %

Leases

Leases	12 Months Ended
Leases	Sep. 30, 2024
Leases [Abstract]
Leases	13. LEASES The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The guidance in ASC 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Additionally, the portfolio approach is used in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company is party to operating leases for office and production facilities and equipment under agreements that expire at various dates through 2028. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new lease standard. In electing the practical expedient package, the Company is not required to reassess whether an existing or expired contract is or contains a lease, reassess the lease classification for expired or existing leases nor reassess the initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the adoption of ASC 842. The Company also elected the short-term lease exemption such that the new lease standard was applied to leases greater than one year in duration. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning on or after October 1, 2019, lease components are accounted for separately from non-lease components for all asset classes. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal provisions and escalating rental clauses and generally require the Company to pay utilities, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses. The renewal provisions of existing lease agreements were not included in the determination of the operating lease liabilities and the ROU assets. Variable payments such as excess usage fees on existing equipment leases were not included in the determination of the lease liabilities and the ROU assets as the achievement of the specified target that triggers the variable lease payment is not considered probable. In addition, the Company’s facility lease in Spain has an escalating lease clause based on a consumer price index which is considered a variable lease payment and is not included in the determination of the lease liability and ROU asset. A 10% increase in the index would increase the total lease liability approximately $ 42 . The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company added an additional operating ROU asset of $ 79 and operating lease liabilities of $ 79 for office space. The tables below show the operating ROU assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023, and the balances as of September 30, 2024, including the changes during the periods. Operating lease Operating lease ROU assets as of September 30, 2023 $ 3,886 Less amortization of operating lease ROU assets ( 794 ) Effect of exchange rate on operating lease ROU assets 18 Operating lease ROU assets as of September 30, 2024 $ 3,110 Operating lease Operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023 $ 5,291 Less lease principal payments on operating lease liabilities ( 1,020 ) Effect of exchange rate on operating lease liabilities 19 Operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2024 4,290 Less non-current portion ( 3,269 ) Current portion as of September 30, 2024 $ 1,021 As of September 30, 2024 , the Company’s operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 3.8 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 4.2 %. The maturities of the operating lease liabilities were as follows: Fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 $ 1,177 2026 1,201 2027 1,222 2028 1,047 2029 — Thereafter — Total undiscounted operating lease payments 4,647 Less imputed interest ( 357 ) Present value of operating lease liabilities $ 4,290 For the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 , total lease expense under operating leases was approximately $ 982 and $ 1,003 , respectively. The Company recorded short-term lease expense of $ 25 and $ 19 for the year ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 .

The deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of federal and state NOL carryforwards and federal and state research and development (“R&D”) tax credit carryforwards offset by valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2024 , the Company had federal and California NOL carryforwards of approximately $ 42,940 and $ 5,288 , respectively. The federal NOLs if not utilized will expire from tax years September 30, 2025 through 2037 , except for $ 16,489 which have an indefinite carryforward period. The California NOLs if not utilized will expire from tax years September 30, 2043 through 2044. The Company also has an estimated $ 2,887 and $ 375 of federal and California R&D tax credits, respectively, as of September 30, 2024, where a portion of federal R&D tax credits will begin to expire next year. The California R&D tax credits do not expire. The Company reviews its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In doing so, management considers historical and projected taxable income of the Company, along with any tax planning strategies and any other positive or negative evidence. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards and other deferred assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established and no deferred tax asset is shown in the accompanying balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 , the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 382 and 383, the annual use of the Company’s net operating loss and R&D tax credit carryforwards may be limited in the event a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three-year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis regarding the limitation of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, any permanent limitations on the use of the Company’s net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns since September 30, 2004 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service due to the generation of U.S. federal NOL and credit carryforwards. The Company’ s U.S. state returns are generally subject to examination for four years after the filing date.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Employment Agreements The Company entered into an employment agreement with our chief executive officer that provides for severance benefits including twelve months’ salary and health benefits, a pro-rata share of his annual cash bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs to which he would have become entitled had he remained employed through the end of the fiscal year and vesting of a share of stock options held by him that are subject to performance-based vesting. The agreement also has a change in control clause whereby the chief executive officer would be entitled to receive specific severance and equity vesting benefits if specified termination events occur. There were no other employment agreements with executive officers or other employees providing future benefits or severance arrangements. Employee Benefit—401K Plan The Company has a defined contribution plan (401(k)) covering its employees. Matching contributions are made on behalf of all participants at the discretion of the board of directors. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company made matching contributions of $ 455 and $ 398 , respectively. Litigation The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s financial statements for pending litigation. Guarantees and Indemnifications The Company enters into indemnification provisions under (i) its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, customers and landlords and (ii) its agreements with investors. Under these arrangements, the Company may indemnify other parties such as business partners, customers, underwriters, and investors for certain losses suffered, claims of intellectual property infringement, negligence and intentional acts in the performance of services, and violations of laws including certain violations of securities laws. The Company’s obligation to provide such indemnification in such circumstances would arise if, for example, a third party sued a customer for intellectual property infringement and the Company agreed to indemnify the customer against such claims. The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability that may be incurred pursuant to such indemnification obligations. Some of the factors that would affect this assessment include, but are not limited to, the nature of the claim asserted, the relative merits of the claim, the financial ability of the parties, the nature and amount of damages claimed, insurance coverage that the Company may have to cover such claims, and the willingness of the parties to reach settlement, if any. Because of the uncertainty surrounding these circumstances, the Company’s indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its ability to continue in the ordinary course of business. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements in the past, and the Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. Under its bylaws, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacity. All directors and officers have executed indemnification agreements. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company has a director and officers’ liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company does not believe that a material loss exposure related to these agreements is either probable or can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, the Company has no liability recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 .

Share-Based Compensation	Sep. 30, 2024
Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	16. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Equity Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 6, 2016, and approved by the Company’s stockholders on March 14, 2017. The 2015 Equity Plan was amended by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 8, 2020, to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 . On March 16, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the plan amendment. The 2015 Equity Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance awards, to an aggregate of 10,000,000 new shares of common stock to employees, directors, advisors or consultants. As of September 30, 2024 , there were options and restricted stock units outstanding covering 3,983,799 shares of common stock under the 2015 Equity Plan, and 1,952,840 shares of common stock available for grant, for a total of 5,936,639 shares of common stock authorized and unissued under the plan. Share-based compensation The Company’s stock options have various restrictions that reduce option value, including vesting provisions and restrictions on transfer and hedging, among others, and are often exercised prior to their contractual maturity. Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718: Compensation - Stock Compensation . Total compensation expense for all share-based awards is based on the estimated fair market value of the equity instrument issued on the grant date. For share-based awards that vest based solely on a service condition, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For share-based awards that vest based on a market condition, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. For share-based awards that vest based on a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized for the number of awards that are expected to vest based on the probable outcome of the performance condition. Compensation cost for these awards will be adjusted to reflect the number of awards that ultimately vest. Stock Options A summary of the activity in options to purchase the common stock of the Company as of September 30, 2024, is presented below: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding September 30, 2023 2,904,522 $ 3.19 Granted 1,402,250 $ 2.04 Forfeited/expired ( 511,032 ) $ 2.86 Exercised ( 100,000 ) $ 1.76 Outstanding September 30, 2024 3,695,740 $ 2.84 Exercisable September 30, 2024 1,192,593 $ 3.58 The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and options exercisable as of September 30, 2024 was $ 3,085 and $ 365 , respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last day of trading during the year, which was $ 3.56 per share, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of applicable options. The total value of stock options exercised during the year ended September 30, 2024 , was $ 300 and no proceeds received from these exercises. The total value of stock options exercised during the year ended September 30, 2023, was $ 2,980 and proceeds from these exercises was $ 138 . The Company recognized $ 124 and $ 815 as a tax benefit in the income tax provision for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2024: Range of Number Weighted Average Weighted Average Number Weighted Average $ 1.70 - $ 2.68 920,250 6.18 $ 1.83 26,209 $ 2.67 $ 2.69 - $ 2.69 1,000,000 5.02 $ 2.69 100,000 $ 2.69 $ 2.70 - $ 3.30 930,125 6.09 $ 2.99 270,708 $ 2.94 $ 3.39 - $ 6.87 845,365 1.94 $ 3.96 795,676 $ 3.94 3,695,740 4.88 $ 2.84 1,192,593 $ 3.58 The Company recorded $ 626 and $ 656 of stock option compensation expense for employees, directors and consultants for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 1,946 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. To the extent the forfeiture rate is different from what the Company anticipated, share-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations. Stock options that do not contain market-based vesting conditions are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted, that vest without a market condition, during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was calculated with the following weighted average assumptions (annualized percentages): Years ended September 30, 2024 2023 Volatility 58.0 % 52.4 % Risk-free interest rate 4.2 % 4.0 % Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected term in years 4.2 5.8 Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The contractual term of the options was seven years . The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla”. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Such revision adjustments to expense will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company did no t pay a dividend in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. For stock options that contain market-based vesting conditions, the fair value of these options was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation approach. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to model the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables. It is a technique used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty and establishes a fair value based on the most likely outcome. Performance-Based Stock Options On October 8, 2022, the Company awarded additional performance-based stock options to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a key executive, with a contractual term of seven years . Vesting is based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria for each of fiscal 2025 and 2026 including a minimum free cash flow margin and net revenue targets. Additionally, vesting is subject to the executive being employed by the Company at the time the Company achieves such financial targets. The Company did not record compensation expense related to these options for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. On March 20, 2023, the Company granted PVOs to purchase up to 450,000 shares of the Company’s stock to a key member of management with a contractual term of seven years . Vesting is based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria for each of the first three twelve-month periods following the employee’s start date, including targets related to growth in the institutional ownership of the Company’s common stock and growth in the trading volume of the Company’s common stock during such periods. Additionally, vesting is subject to the employee being employed by the Company on each of the first three anniversaries of the employee’s start date. 225,000 of these options contain a market-based vesting condition and accounting principles do not require the market condition to be achieved in order for compensation expense to be recognized. The Company recorded $ 130 of compensation expense related to these options during the year ended September 30, 2024. The Company recorded $ 7 of compensation expense related to these options during the year ended September 30, 2023. The Company did no t grant any performance-based stock options during the year ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 , there was no unrecognized compensation related to PVOs. Restricted Stock Units On March 14, 2023, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors received a grant of 30,000 RSUs that will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. These RSUs were granted at a market value of $ 417 and have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis through the March 14, 2024, vest date. On February 14, 2023, 145,600 RSUs were granted to employees that will vest over three years on the anniversary date of the grant. These RSUs were issued at a market value of $ 582 , which have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the three-year life of the grants. On March 20, 2023, 20,000 RSUs were granted to an employee with immediate vesting. These were issued at a market value of $ 66 and were expensed immediately. On November 1, 2023, 10,000 RSUs were granted to a non-employee advisor that vested on the first anniversary of the grant date. These were issued at a market value of $ 17 , which have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis though the November 1, 2024, vest date. On March 14, 2024, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors received a grant of 30,000 RSUs that will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. These RSUs were granted at a market value of $ 215 and have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis through the March 14, 2025 vest date. On June 3, 2024, each of the two new non-employee members of the Board of Directors received a grant of 23,654 RSUs that will vest on March 14, 2025. These were issued at a market value of $ 91 and have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis through the March 14, 2025 vest date. On July 10, 2024, one new non-employee member of the Board of Director received a grant of 20,000 RSUs that will vest on March 14, 2025. These were issued at a market value of $ 50 and have and will be expensed on a straight-line basis through March 14, 2025. A summary of restricted stock units of the Company as of September 30, 2024, is presented below: ` Number of Weighted Outstanding September 30, 2023 379,597 $ 3.99 Granted 331,019 $ 2.10 Vested ( 355,024 ) $ 3.53 Forfeited/cancelled ( 67,533 ) $ 2.04 Outstanding September 30, 2024 288,059 $ 2.78 Compensation expense for RSUs was $ 896 for the year ended September 30, 2024. Compensation expense for RSUs was $ 986 for the year ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 504 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding RSUs.

The Amended Certificate was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on March 16, 2021. During the year ended September 30, 2024 , 100,000 non-qualified stock options were exercised in net share settlement transactions, 58,667 shares were used as consideration for the exercise of these options and 14,317 shares were retained for taxes associated with these option exercises, resulting in 27,016 shares being issued. All shares of common stock surrendered for options exercises have been retired. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 84,765 shares of common stock and obtained gross proceeds of $ 138 in connection with the exercise of stock options. During the year ended September 30, 2023, 816,747 non-qualified stock options were exercised in net share settlement transactions. 579,300 shares were used as consideration for the exercise of these options and 74,606 shares were retained for taxes associated with these option exercises, resulting in 162,841 shares being issued. Also, during the year ended September 30, 2023, an employee used 109,488 shares of common stock as consideration for the exercise of 150,753 incentive stock options. All shares of common stock surrendered for options exercises have been retired. On October 4, 2023, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $ 2.00 per share of common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $ 11,500 from the offering, before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of $ 1,051 . The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including funding organic growth, working capital, capital expenditures, and continued research and development with respect to products and technologies, as well as costs related to post-closing integration with the Evertel business and research and development activities related to the integrated business. In connection with the Evertel acquisition, the Company issued 986,486 shares of common stock to the former owners of Evertel. The fair value of the Company’s stock on the closing date was $ 1.95 which resulted in the addition of $ 1,924 to additional-paid-in-capital. The Company also issued 236,343 shares of common stock to the former owners of Evertel, in connection with the settlement of a portion of the contingent consideration liability. This resulted in the addition of $ 656 to additional-paid-in-capital. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded an obligation to issue 81,083 shares of common stock to the former owners of Evertel and three key employees during the three months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in an addition of $ 158 to additional-paid-in-capital. Also, in connection with the Evertel acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 270,271 shares of the Company’s common stock to the seller of Evertel twelve months from the closing date. The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date was $ 1.95 , resulting in the addition of $ 527 to additional paid-in-capital. These shares were issued on October 4, 2024. In connection with the Amika Mobile asset purchase, the Company also agreed to issue 191,267 shares of the Company’s common stock to the seller of the Amika Mobile assets on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. The total number of shares of common stock the Company is obligated to issue is 573,801 . The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date was $ 5.98 , resulting in the addition of $ 3,431 to additional paid-in-capital. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company accelerated the issuance of 365,109 of such shares of common stock to the seller of the Amika Mobile assets. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 69,564 shares of common stock to the seller of the Amika Mobile assets. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued the final 69,564 shares to the former owners of the Amika Mobile assets. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $ 0.00001 par value, without any further action by the stockholders. The board of directors has the authority to divide any and all shares of preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, such as the designation of series and the number of shares constituting such series, dividend rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation and dissolution preferences, conversion or exchange rights and voting rights, if any. Issuance of preferred stock by the board of directors could result in such shares having dividend and or liquidation preferences senior to the rights of the holders of common stock and could dilute the voting rights of the holders of common stock. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2024 or 2023. Share Buyback Program In December 2022, the Board of Directors extended the Company’s share buyback program through December 31, 2024.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss per Share	18. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. If the Company has losses for the period, the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding would be anti-dilutive. In addition, under the treasury stock method, the inclusion of stock options with an exercise price greater than the per-share market value would be antidilutive. Potential common shares that would be antidilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Years ended September 30, 2024 2023 Net loss $ ( 31,730 ) $ ( 18,396 ) Basic and diluted loss per share $ ( 0.72 ) $ ( 0.50 ) Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 44,316,865 36,939,335 Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 44,316,865 36,939,335 Potentially dilutive securities outstanding at period end excluded from diluted Options 3,695,740 2,904,522 RSU 288,059 385,429 Obligation to issue common stock 270,271 69,564 Warrants 3,068,182 — Total 7,322,252 3,359,515

MAJOR CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS AND RELATED INFORMATION Major Customers For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 , revenues from one customer accounted for 18 % of total revenues with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of total revenues. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 , revenues from one customer accounted for 54 % of total revenues with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of total revenues. As of September 30, 2024 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 15 %, 14 % and 11 % of total accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2023 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 22 %, 10 %, and 10 % of total accounts receivable. Revenue from customers in the United States was $ 16,888 for the year ended September 30, 2024. Revenue from customers in the United States was $ 36,286 for the year ended September 30, 2023.

In particular, the Company depends on one supplier of compression drivers for its LRAD products. If supplier shortages occur, or quality problems arise, then production schedules could be significantly delayed or costs significantly increased, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles Of Consolidation	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The Company has eight wholly owned subsidiaries, Genasys II Spain, S.A.U. (“Genasys Spain”), Genasys Communications Canada ULC (“Genasys Canada”), Genasys Singapore PTE Ltd, Genasys Puerto Rico, LLC, Zonehaven LLC, Evertel Technologies LLC, and Genasys Inc. (branch) in the United Arab Emirates and one currently inactive subsidiary, Genasys America de CV. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of these subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.
Use Of Estimates	USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions (e.g., share-based compensation valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses , fair value of term loan and warrant liabilities, contingent consideration, valuation of inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserve, valuation of operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities, accrued bonus and valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Concentration Of Credit Risk	CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company sells its products to a large number of geographically diverse customers. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. It is customary for the Company to require a deposit as collateral. As of September 30, 2024 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 15 %, 14 % and 11 % of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. As of September 30, 2023 , accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 22 %, 10 % and 10 % of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of September 30, 2024, there are $ 627 of cash and cash equivalents retained in foreign banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company also invests cash in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in the Company’s policy guidelines such as money market funds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds and Certificates of Deposit. These guidelines also limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of instrument. It is generally the Company’s policy to invest in instruments that have a final maturity of no longer than three years , with a portfolio weighted average maturity of no longer than 18 months.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was $ 4,945 and $ 8,665 , respectively. The Company considers any amounts pledged as collateral or otherwise restricted for use in current operations to be restricted cash. In addition, the Company excludes from cash and cash equivalents cash required to fund specific future contractual obligations related to business combinations. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset unless amounts are not expected to be released and available for use in operations within one year. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amount of restricted cash was $ 345 and $ 854 , respectively, which is included in “Restricted cash” and “Long-term restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet.
Marketable Securities	MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company’s investments in debt instruments are classified as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification and impairment on a quarterly basis. If the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost, the Company evaluates whether the impairment is considered other-than-temporary. This assessment considers management's intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, and whether the present value of expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the full impairment is recognized in earnings. If a credit loss exists but the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the security will be sold before recovery, the impairment is bifurcated into a credit loss component, recognized in earnings, and a noncredit loss component, recognized in other comprehensive income.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Expected Credit Losses	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), as of October 1, 2023. This new standard adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the timelier recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The standard only impacts the Company’s trade receivables. The Company adopted the accounting standard as of October 1, 2023. There was no cumulative effect adjustment, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or existing internal controls. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses primarily for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of individual customers to make required payments. The Company maintains an allowance under ASC 326 , based on historical losses, changes in payment history, customer-specific information, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance under ASC 326 is updated as additional losses are incurred or information becomes available related to the customer or economic conditions. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses was $ 65 , as of both September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company writes off accounts receivable based on the age of the receivable and the facts and circumstances surrounding the customer and reasons for non-payment. Actual write-offs might differ from the recorded allowance. The Company ’ s historical credit losses have not been significant due to this dispersion and the financial stability of the Company's customers. The Company considers its historical credit losses to be immaterial to its business and, therefore, has not provided all the disclosures otherwise required by the standard.
Contract Manufacturers	CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS The Company employs contract manufacturers for production of certain components and sub-assemblies. The Company may provide parts and components to such parties from time to time but recognizes no revenue or markup on such transactions. During fiscal years 2024 and 2023 , the Company performed assembly of products in-house using components and sub-assemblies from a variety of contract manufacturers and suppliers.
Inventories	INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. Inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products intended for sale . The Company periodically makes judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of inventory. The carrying value of inventory is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected net realizable value is less than carrying value. The Company has inventory reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory, which is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company disposed of $ 284 of obsolete parts inventory that was included in the inventory reserve as of September 30, 2023. The Company then increased its inventory reserve by $ 288 during the year ended September 30, 2024 , for parts and demo equipment that may not be utilized.
Equipment And Depreciation	EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on machinery and equipment and office furniture and equipment is computed over the estimated useful lives of two to seven years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the lease or expected lease term. Upon retirement or disposition of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed, and a gain or loss is recorded.
Business Combinations	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires the Company to use significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, as of the business combination date and to refine those estimates as necessary during the measurement period (defined as the period, not to exceed one year, in which the Company may adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination). Under the acquisition method of accounting the Company recognizes separately from goodwill the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed generally at the acquisition date fair value. The Company measures goodwill as of the acquisition date as the excess of consideration transferred, which the Company also measures at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Costs that the Company incurs to complete the business combination such as investment banking, legal and other professional fees are not considered part of consideration and the Company charges them to general and administrative expense as they are incurred. Under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, if the Company identifies changes to acquired deferred tax asset valuation allowances or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions during the measurement period and they relate to new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, those changes are considered a measurement period adjustment and the Company records the offset to goodwill. The Company records all other changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in current period income tax expense.
Goodwill And Intangible Assets	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Identifiable intangible assets, which consist of technology, customer relationships, patents, trade names and trademarks, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, based on a number of assumptions including estimated periodic economic benefit and utilization. The estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets have been estimated to be between three and fifteen years . The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets, considering factors such as technological advancements, market trends, and the introduction of competing innovations. The carrying value of intangibles is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the carrying value exceeds fair value. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in our fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a single reporting unit below the carrying amount. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macro-economic conditions of the business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, a two-step impairment test is performed. For reporting units where the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company did no t record a goodwill impairment charge for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 . Refer to Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for more information.
Leases	LEASES In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, the Company recognizes lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use-assets for all leases with terms of greater than 12 months. Refer to Note 13, Leases for more information.
Shipping And Handling Costs	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in revenue. Actual shipping and handling costs were $ 128 and $ 289 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Actual revenues from shipping and handling were $ 187 and $ 392 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Advertising	ADVERTISING Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and were $ 454 and $ 512 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Research And Development Costs	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Technological feasibility for products is reached shortly before the products are released to manufacturing. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.
Warranty Reserves	WARRANTY RESERVES The Company warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty is generally limited. The Company currently provides direct warranty service. Some agreements with OEM customers, from time to time, may require that certain quantities of product be made available for use as warranty replacements. International market warranties are generally similar to the U.S. market. The Company also sells extended warranty contracts and maintenance agreements. The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenues are recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period. The warranty reserve was $ 76 and $ 132 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company determines its income tax provision using the asset and liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. A valuation allowance is recorded by the Company to the extent it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in assessing the ability to realize the Company’s deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income and the tax rates in effect at that time. Additional information regarding income taxes appears in Note 14, Income Taxes.
Impairment Of Long-lived Assets	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds the fair value, or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate impairment, an impairment loss is measured and recognized using the asset’s fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 . Refer to Note 6, Fair Value Measurements and Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a global provider of critical communications hardware and software solutions designed to alert, inform, and protect people. The Company operates in two business segments: Hardware and Software and its principal markets are North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. As reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on sales and operating income. Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets are primary assets identified by segment. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same for the Company as a whole and transactions between the two operating segments are eliminated in consolidation. Refer to Note 19, Segment Information, for additional information.
Net Loss Per Share	NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could occur if outstanding securities convertible into common stock were exercised or converted. Diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per common share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the net loss position of all periods presented. Refer to Note 18, Net Loss Per Share, for additional information.
Foreign Currency Translation	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Genasys Spain is the Euro and the functional currency of Genasys Canada is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada to the U.S. dollar at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The Company translates the revenue, costs and expenses of Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada to the U.S. dollar at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The Company includes translation gains and losses in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions undertaken in other currencies are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date and any transaction exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The translation gain for the period ending September 30, 2024 was $ 152 resulting from transactions between Genasys U.S. and Genasys Spain and Genasys Canada. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there was a translation gain of $ 207 .
Share-based Compensation	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to qualified and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) issued to employees, directors and consultants. For stock options, compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value and recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For RSUs, compensation expense is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. For RSUs with performance conditions, expense recognition is based on the probability of achieving the specified performance targets. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Refer to Note 16, Share-based Compensation, for additional information.
Reclassifications	RECLASSIFICATIONS Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2024 statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.
Term Loan	TERM LOAN The Company determined that it is eligible for the fair value option (“FVO”) election in connection with the Term Loan. The Term Loan meets the definition of a “recognized financial liability” which is an acceptable financial instrument eligible for the FVO under ASC 825-10-15-4 and do not meet the definition of any of the financial instruments found within ASC 825-10-15-5 that are not eligible for the FVO. The FVO election was made to enhance the relevance and transparency of information presented related to the features embedded in the Term Loan. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the Term Loan was estimated using a discounted cash flow method. Changes in the fair value of the Term Loan, other than changes associated with the Company ’ s own credit risk, are recorded as gains or losses in other income/expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Changes in fair value attributable to the Company ’ s own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss in the Company ’ s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. There have been no such changes for the year ended September 30, 2024. Under the FVO, debt issuance costs are recorded in other expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 12, Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities, for additional information.
Warrants	WARRANTS The warrants issued in conjunction with the Term Loan are classified as liabilities under ASC 815-40 due to not being indexed to the Company’s stock. The warrants are measured at fair value using Monte Carlo simulation to capture the down-round provision in the warrant agreement. Changes in fair value of the warrants, are recorded as gains or losses in other income/expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Refer to Note 12, Term Loan and Warrant Liabilities, for additional information.
