Our net sales were $143.6 million, $114.0 million and $101.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in our net sales was driven primarily by increased sales of our recurring services ($12.1 million) and sales of equipment ($17.5 million) as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in equipment sales was due primarily to the recovery from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the elimination of most of the closures mandated by federal and state governments during the early and peak stages of the pandemic. As these closures abated and economic conditions improved, our equipment sales increased. In addition, fiscal 2022 net sales increased due, in part, to an increase in sales of the Company’s cellular radio products as the major cellular providers sunset their 3G networks. Our net income was $19.6 million, $15.4 million and $7.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increases in net income during this period were due primarily to the recovery from the COVID-19 impact described above, as well as by the growth of our cellular products and the associated recurring revenue business.

Economic and Other Factors

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

Seasonality

The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Historically, the end users of the Company’s hardware products want to install these products prior to the summer; therefore, sales of these products historically peak in the period April 1 through June 30, the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, and are reduced in the period July 1 through September 30, the Company's fiscal first quarter. In addition, demand for all of our products may be affected by the housing and construction markets. Deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes these critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

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

The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months. The Company accepts returns for such defective products as well as for other limited circumstances. The Company also provides rebates to customers for meeting specified purchasing targets and other coupons or credits in limited circumstances. The Company establishes reserves for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and measures such variable consideration based on the expected

Table of Contents

value method using an analysis of historical data. Changes to the estimated variable consideration in subsequent periods are not material.

The Company analyzes product sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 10%, 10% and 9% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reserve for Doubtful Accounts

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. The Company had one customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 22%, 19% and 24% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales during fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2021. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2020. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 16% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 and 2021. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

In the ordinary course of business, we have established a reserve for doubtful accounts and customer deductions in the amount of $243,000 and $226,000 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our reserve for doubtful accounts is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net earnings. This reserve is based upon the evaluation of accounts receivable agings, specific exposures and historical or anticipated events.

Inventories

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

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, product life cycle, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product to better match customer demand. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

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

Table of Contents

The Company’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of G. Marks Hardware, Inc. (“Marks”) in August 2008 included intangible assets recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives of twenty years. At the acquisition date, the Marks trade name was deemed to have an indefinite life. During the 4th quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined that the trade-name was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,852,000 and reclassified the remaining balance of the underlying asset from indefinite-lived to a long-lived asset with a remaining useful life of 20 years as of June 30, 2020.

Income Taxes

The Company has identified the United States and New York State as its major tax jurisdictions. Fiscal year 2018 and forward years are still open for examination. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary which operates in a Free Zone in the Dominican Republic (“DR”) and is exempt from DR income tax.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a net income tax expense of $2,247,000. During the year ending June 30, 2022, the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $25,000. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest totaling $88,000 and $678,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. The Company claims research and development (“R&D”) tax credits on eligible research and development expenditures. The R&D tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

Leases

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition option of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of an operating ROU asset and lease liabilities of approximately $7.7 million. Given the length of the lease term, the right-of-use asset and corresponding liability assume a weighted discount rate as disclosed below. A change in the rate utilized could have a material effect on the amounts reported. Financial positions for reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2019 are presented under new guidance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company utilized a portion of its cash generated from operations ($1,563,000 of $8,332,000) to purchase property, plant and equipment ($1,482,000) and marketable securities ($81,000). The Company believes its current working capital, cash flows from operations and its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, long-term debt consisted of a revolving line of credit of $11,000,000 (“Revolver Agreement”), with no amounts outstanding, which expires in June 2024. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had term loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration totaling $3,904,000 through its Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP Loans were entirely forgiven during first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants including, among others, restrictions on borrowings and compliance with certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. The Company’s long-term debt is described more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The Company believes its current working capital, anticipated cash flows from operations and its Revolving Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through at least the next twelve months.

The Company takes into consideration several factors in measuring its liquidity, including the ratios set forth below:

As of June 30,

Sales to Receivables 4.9 to 1 4.1 to 1 4.4 to 1

Total debt to equity 0.0 to 1 0.0 to 1 0.1 to 1

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures or inventory purchases other than purchase orders issued in the normal course of business. On April 26, 1993, the Company's foreign subsidiary entered into a 99-year land lease of approximately 4 acres of land in the Dominican Republic, on which the Company’s principle manufacturing facility is located, at an annual rent of approximately $288,000.

Working Capital. Working capital increased by $17,751,000 to $93,142,000 at June 30, 2022 from $75,391,000 at June 30, 2021. Working Capital increased by $14,939,000 to $75,391,000 at June 30, 2021 from $60,452,000 at June 30, 2020.Working capital is calculated by deducting Current Liabilities from Current Assets.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable increased by $1,137,000 to $29,218,000 at June 30, 2022 as compared to $28,081,000 at June 30, 2021. The increase in Accounts Receivable was due primarily to an increase in net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter a year ago. Accounts Receivable increased by $5,149,000 to $28,081,000 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $22,932,000 at June 30, 2020. The increase in Accounts Receivable was due primarily to an increase in net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Inventories. Inventories, which include both current and non-current portions, increased by $18,086,000 to $49,786,000 at June 30, 2022 as compared to $31,700,000 at June 30, 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher costs of component parts and freight-in. The increase was also due to the ongoing shortages of certain component parts and the Company purchasing large quantities of these hard to source component parts when they become available. Inventories, which include both current and non-current portions, decreased by $8,715,000 to $31,700,000 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $40,415,000 at June 30, 2020. The decrease was due, in part, to the Company completing the rollout of several new productes that were introduced during fiscal 2020. Inventories of these items were built up during fiscal 2020 in anticipation of initial sotcking orders from the Company’s customers. The decrease in inventory was also due to the Company’s efforts to move closer to “just in time” procurement and production cycles where component parts and finished goods are scheduled for delivery closer to the expected requirement date.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, not including income taxes payable, increased by $8,470,000 to $24,625,000 as of June 30, 2022 as compared to $16,155,000 at June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to increased purchases of component parts during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period a year ago as well as an increase in the Company’s accrued refund liability, which is explained in Note 2 to the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, not including income taxes payable, increased by $1,684,000 to $16,155,000 as of June 30, 2021 as compared to $14,471,000 at June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the Company’s accrued refund liability, which is explained in Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as higher accrued incentive compensation as of June 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest expense, net 16 5 220.0 %

Gain on extinguishment of debt 3,904 — 100.0 %

Net sales in fiscal 2022 increased by $29,558,000 to $143,593,000 as compared to $114,035,000 in fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s recurring alarm communication services ($12,077,000), Napco brand intrusion products ($11,699,000), Alarm Lock brand door-locking products ($3,136,000), Marks brand door-locking products ($1,533,000) and Continental brand access control products ($1,113,000). The Company’s increase in equipment sales was primarily due to customer demand returning after the decline during the COVID-19 pandemic and the related closures throughout the United States. In addition, fiscal 2022 net sales increased due, in part, to an increase in sales of the Company’s cellular radio products as the major cellular providers sunset their 3G networks.

The Company's gross profit increased by $8,408,000 to $59,156,000 or 41.2% of net sales in fiscal 2022 as compared to $50,748,000 or 44.5% of net sales in fiscal 2021. Gross profit on equipment sales was $19,141,000 or 19.6% of net equipment sales in fiscal 2022 and $21,730,000 or 27.1% of net equipment sales, in fiscal 2021. Gross profit on service revenues was $40,015,000 or 87.0% of net service revenues in fiscal 2022 and $29,018,000 or 85.6% of net service revenues, in fiscal 2021. Gross profit on equipment sales was primarily affected by increased costs of component parts and freight as well as the shift in sales to the Company’s Starlink radio products, which typically have lower margins but result in recurring service revenues.

Research and Development expenses increased by $404,000 to $8,024,000 in fiscal 2022 as compared to $7,620,000 in fiscal 2021. This increase was due primarily to salary increases and additional staff.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2022 increased by $7,711,000 to $32,907,000 as compared to $25,196,000 in fiscal 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 22.9% in fiscal 2022 from 22.1% in fiscal 2021. The increases in dollars and as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from increases in sales commissions, tradeshow, stock option and legal expenses.

Interest and other expense, net for fiscal 2022 remained relatively constant at $16,000 as compared to $5,000 for the same period a year ago.

Gain on extinguishment of debt resulted from a one-time gain in fiscal 2022 which resulted from the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loans as described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section and Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for fiscal 2022 decreased by $267,000 to $2,247,000 as compared to $2,514,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 10% for fiscal 2022 as compared to 14% for fiscal 2021. The

Table of Contents

decrease in the Company’s fiscal 2022 effective tax rate is primarily due to the $3,904,000 in non-taxable income from extinguishment of debt.

Net income for fiscal 2022 increased by $4,186,000 to $19,599,000 as compared to $15,413,000 in fiscal 2021. This resulted primarily from the items discussed above.

Net sales in fiscal 2021 increased by $12,676,000 to $114,035,000 as compared to $101,359,000 in fiscal 2020. The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s recurring alarm communication services ($9,859,000), Napco brand intrusion products ($5,972,000) and Marks brand door-locking products ($2,051,000), as partially offset by decreased sales of the Company’s Alarm Lock brand door-locking products ($4,720,000) and Continental brand access control products ($191,000). The Company’s increase in equipment sales was primarily due to customer demand returning after the decline during the COVID-19 pandemic and the related closures throughout the United States. This was partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s Alarm Lock products, which was due primarily to school districts and other institutions postponing their capital projects in the latter portion of the Company’s 2020 fiscal year and throughout fiscal 2021.

The Company’s gross profit increased by $7,904,000 to $50,748,000 or 44.5% of net sales in fiscal 2021 as compared to $42,844,000 or 42.3% of net sales in fiscal 2020. Gross profit on equipment sales was $21,730,000 or 27.1% of net equipment sales in fiscal 2021 and $23,132,000 or 29.9% of net equipment sales, in fiscal 2020. Gross profit on service revenues was $29,018,000 or 85.6% of net service revenues in fiscal 2021 and $19,712,000 or 82.0% of net service revenues, in fiscal 2020. Gross profit on equipment sales was primarily affected by the shift in sales to the Company’s Starlink radio products, which typically have lower margins but result in recurring service revenues, and from the Company’s Alarm Lock products as discussed above. The Alarm Lock products are among the Company’s highest margin equipment products. Gross profit on equipment sales was also affected by the Company’s reduction in its production and inventories which impacted it’s overhead absorption rate as well as a decrease in the Company’s reserve for obsolete inventory.

Research and Development expenses increased by $363,000 to $7,620,000 in fiscal 2021 as compared to $7,257,000 in fiscal 2020. This increase was due primarily to salary increases and additional staff.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2021 increased by $1,526,000 to $25,196,000 as compared to $23,670,000 in fiscal 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.1% in fiscal 2021 from 23.4% in fiscal 2020. The increase in dollars resulted primarily from increases in employee compensation. The decrease as a percentage of sales

was primarily the result of the increase in net sales as described above, as partially offset by the aforementioned increase in employee compensation expenses.

During the 4th quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined that its indefinite-lived intangible asset relating to its Marks USA I subsidiary trade-name was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,852,000 and reclassified the remaining balance of the underlying asset from indefinite-lived to a long-lived asset with a remaining useful life of 20 years as of June 30, 2020. There was no impairment charge for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Interest and other expense, net for fiscal 2021 remained relatively constant at $5,000 as compared to $9,000 for the same period a year ago.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for fiscal 2021 increased by $253,000 to $2,514,000 as compared to $2,261,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 14% for fiscal 2021 as compared to 21% for fiscal 2020. The decrease in the Company’s fiscal 2021 effective tax rate is a direct result of additional tax expense recorded in fiscal 2020 for the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit of the Company’s 2016 fiscal year.

Net income for fiscal 2021 increased by $7,618,000 to $15,413,000 as compared to $7,795,000 in fiscal 2020. This resulted primarily from the items discussed above.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

All foreign sales transactions by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company has shifted foreign currency exposure onto its foreign customers. As a result, if exchange rates move against foreign customers, the Company could experience difficulty collecting unsecured accounts receivable, the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk relative to expenses incurred in Dominican Pesos ("RD$"), the local currency of the Company's production facility in the Dominican Republic. The result of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar to the RD$ would result in an annual increase or decrease in income from operations of approximately $855,000.

Management Report on Internal Control

Management has prepared and is responsible for our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Napco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) as issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that as of June 30, 2022, the Company identified two material weaknesses in internal control.

One material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the area of user access and lack of effective program change-management over certain information technology (IT) systems that support the

Table of Contents

Company’s financial reporting processes. Our business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. We believe that these control deficiencies were a result of: IT control processes lacking sufficient documentation and risk-assessment procedures to assess changes in the IT environment and program change management of personnel that could impact internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements and there were no changes to the previously released financial results. Based on this material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that at June 30, 2022 the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

The second material weakness in internal control related to the reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory. This control deficiency was a result of a lack of effective review and reconciliation controls over the forecasted sales and usage data. The material weakness did not result in a material misstatement to the financial statements. There were no changes to the previously released financial results.

Based on these two material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that, at June 30, 2022, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 has been audited by Baker Tilly US, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page FS-1 and under Item 9A:

There were ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of user access and program change-management over certain information technology (IT) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. As a result, business process automated and manual controls that were dependent on the affected ITGCs were ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. This control deficiency was a result of IT control processes that lacked sufficient documentation and risk-assessment processes inadequate to identify and assess changes in IT environments and personnel that could impact internal control over financial reporting.

There were ineffectively designed control activities over the reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, including the lack of effective review and reconciliation controls over forecasted sales and usage data.

FS-2

Table of Contents

The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We considered the material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Excess and Slow-Moving Inventory Reserve

Critical Audit Matter Description

As described in Notes 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated net inventory and inventory reserves as of June 30, 2022 were approximately $49,786,000 and $4,021,000, respectively. Management establishes its reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value of the inventory. The estimated reserve percentages consider future inventory requirements to support forecasted sales based on historical usage, known trends, market conditions, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials into finished goods to better match customer demand.

We identified the reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to determine the reserve, specifically the future inventory requirements and related forecasted sales and usage. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates, including the estimated reserve percentages, and assumptions is subjective and requires a high degree of auditor judgment.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

Impact on Financial Statements of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Refer to Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page FS-1 and under Item 9A.

Critical Audit Matter Description

As discussed above and in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company identified a material weakness in their internal control over financial reporting associated with user access and program change-management over certain information technology (IT) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes, and related material weakness in the components of Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). This material weakness impacts the Company’s controls over IT systems and business processes and affects substantially all financial statement account balances and disclosures.

Due to the ineffective ITGCs, the information in system generated reports produced by those financial reporting systems could not be relied upon without further testing. We determined it necessary to perform incremental audit procedures over the completeness and accuracy of financial information utilizing the impacted IT systems as a critical audit matter. Significant auditor judgment was required to design and execute the incremental audit procedures and to assess the sufficiency of the procedures performed and evidence obtained due to ineffective controls and the complexity of the Company’s IT environment.

FS-4

Table of Contents

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

As a result of the material weakness, in performing our audit procedures we lowered the threshold for investigating differences between recorded amounts and independent expectations developed by us that we would have otherwise used, and increased the number of tested transactions we would have otherwise made if the Company’s controls were designed and operating effectively. In addition, we utilized original source documents for audit evidence, rather than system reports or other information generated by the Company’s IT systems. For any reports obtained from the IT system, the engagement team designed specific audit procedures to audit the completeness and accuracy of such reports.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Nature of Business:

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

Our results for fiscal 2021 and 2022 reflect the increase in customer demand after the decrease in demand in fiscal 2020 resulting from the economic slowdown associated with this pandemic. While the Company believes this recovery will continue, there can be no assurances in the event of a return to building and construction restrictions that might result from a return to last year’s levels of COVID-19 cases.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

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

Stock Split

In December 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend of the Company's common stock, payable to stockholders of record on December 20, 2021. The additional shares were distributed on January 4, 2022. All share and per share amounts (except par value) have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. There was no net effect on stockholders’ equity as a result of the stock split. Upon distribution of the dividend, the total number of shares outstanding increased from 18,365,878 to 36,731,756.

Accounting Estimates

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

FS-10

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 due to their short-term maturities.Long-term debt and lease liabilities reflect fair value based on prevailing market rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $63,000 of short-term time deposits at both June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC and other international agencies as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company has not historically experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limits.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in other expense (income). Realized gains or losses on mutual funds are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company evaluates its investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment by reviewing factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value had been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time, which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery of market value. The Company records an impairment charge to the extent that the cost of the available-for-sale securities exceeds the estimated fair value of the securities and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record an impairment charge regarding its investment in marketable securities because management believes, based on its evaluation of the circumstances, that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Company’s marketable securities is temporary.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $243,000 and $226,000 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our reserves for doubtful accounts are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

Inventories

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

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

FS-11

Table of Contents

Property, Plant, and Equipment

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

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

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Changes in intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $391,000, $425,000 and $264,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2023 - $361,000; 2024 - $336,000; 2025 - $315,000; 2026 - $297,000; and 2027 - $283,000. The weighted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets was 16.2 years and 16.9 years at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

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

FS-12

Table of Contents

communication services is billed on a monthly basis and is typically due at the beginning of the month of service or in 30 days for customers with an open account.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are included in "Selling, General and Administrative" expenses in the consolidated statements of income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $2,889,000, $1,306,000 and $1,722,000, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs incurred by the Company are charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Company-sponsored research and development expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $8,024,000, $7,620,000 and $7,257,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

Net Income per Share

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

FS-13

Table of Contents

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the fiscal years ended June 30 (in thousands, except per share data):

Options to purchase 214,109, 40,000 and 77,638 shares of common stock for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These options were still outstanding at the end of the respective periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

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

Stock-based compensation costs of $1,649,000, $435,000 and $583,000 were recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined the functional currency of all foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. All foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company’s operations. The day-to-day operations of all foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S. Dollar. Therefore, no realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation are recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 or 2020.

Comprehensive Income

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s operations did not give rise to material items includable in comprehensive income, which were not already included in net income. Accordingly, the Company’s comprehensive income approximates its net income for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

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

Shipping and Handling Sales and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($428,000, $395,000 and $452,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively) and classifies the costs associated with these sales in cost of sales ($1,425,000, $1,058,000 and $1,034,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively).

Table of Contents

Leases

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition option of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of an operating ROU asset and lease liabilities of approximately $7.7million. Given the length of the lease term, the right-of-use asset and corresponding liability assume a weighted discount rate as disclosed below. A change in the rate utilized could have a material effect on the amounts reported. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies; Leases for additional accounting policies and transition disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On July 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. For information regarding the impact of Topic 842 adoption, see Significant Accounting Policies - Leases and Note 13- Leases.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform (ASC Topic 848)

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

In January 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that makes amendments to the new rules on accounting for reference rate reform.

NOTE 4 – Marketable Securities

Marketable securities include investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are reported at their fair values. The disaggregated net gains and losses on the marketable securities recognize in the income statement for the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are as follows (in thousands):

Year ended June 30,

Net gains recognized during the period on marketable securities $ 81 $ —

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

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

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

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

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

The following tables summarize the Company’s investments (in thousands):

Unrealized Unrealized

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

For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 investments and no transfers in or out of Level 3.

The Company was audited by the IRS for the fiscal year 2016. In July 2019, the Company received Form 4549-A, Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS proposing an adjustment to income for the fiscal 2016 tax year regarding deemed dividends based on its interpretation of Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 956 arising from the intercompany balances on the books of the Company. In August 2019, the Company filed a formal protest with the IRS requesting an opportunity to appeal the examination findings to the Appeals Office. During fiscal year 2020, the Company settled the issue. There was a provision recorded for the federal and state impact of $762,000 and $70,000, respectively.

The Company was audited by the IRS for the fiscal year 2017. The Company received Form 4549-A, Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS proposing an adjustment to income for the fiscal 2017 tax year regarding deemed dividends based on its interpretation under IRC Section 956 arising from the intercompany balances on the books of the Company. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company settled the issue and paid the IRS $399,000. The Company reported the results of the IRS exam to all the jurisdictions in which it files and paid taxes and interest totaling $97,000. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company paid the IRS $68,000 for interest. None of the payments were recorded to expense in 2021, since liabilities had previously been established.

The IRS is currently auditing the Company’s Federal income tax return for the tax year ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2022, the IRS has not communicated any material changes to the Company’s previously reported income tax returns and the Company has not established any reserves to uncertain matters as a result of the audit.

The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, state and local income taxes, tax benefit of R&D credits, certain nondeductible expenses, uncertain tax positions, audit settlements and global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI").

During the year ending June 30, 2022, the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $25,000. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest totaling $88,000 and $678,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. The Company claims R&D tax credits on eligible research and development expenditures. The R&D tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Tax Interest Total

The Company plans to permanently reinvest a substantial portion of its foreign earnings and as such has not provided withholding tax on the permanently reinvested earnings. The Company has accrued $613,000 for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings that are not permanently reinvested. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $71.6 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

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

The Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 in the amount of $3,904,000 within the other (expense) income section in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The SBA reserves the right to audit PPP forgiveness applications for a period of six years from the date of forgiveness. It has indicated that it will audit all of those that are in excess of $2 million.

NOTE 9 - Stock Options

The Company follows ASC 718 (“Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values and over the requisite service period.

2012 Employee Stock Option Plan

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

Under the 2012 Employee Plan, stock options may be granted to valued employees with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At June 30, 2022, 523,080 stock options were outstanding, 176,752 stock options were exercisable and 1,138,920 stock options were available for grant under this plan. 338,000 options were granted under this plan during the year ended June 30, 2022.

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rates 1.64 % n/a % .6% - 2.10 %

Expected lives 6.18 Years n/a 10 years

Expected volatility 43 % n/a % 44% - 46 %

Expected dividend yields 0 % n/a % 0 %

The Company uses a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility assumption that is a combination of both current and historical implied volatilities of the underlying stock. The implied volatilities were obtained from publicly available data sources. For the weighted-average expected option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bond rate for the expected term of the options and the average dividend yield is based on historical experience.

The total grant datefair value of the options vesting during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 under this plan was $1,040,000, $244,000 and $197,000, respectively.

2012 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan

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

Under the 2012 Non-Employee Plan, stock options may be granted with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable in whole or in part at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At June 30, 2022, 20,400 stock options were outstanding, 11,280 stock options were exercisable and 0 stock options were available for grant under this plan. 9,600 options were granted under this plan during the year ended June 30, 2022.

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rates 1.68 % n/a % 1.6 %

Expected lives 6.18 Years n/a 10 years
