ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

The risks described below are among those that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and from any results predicted by any forward-looking statements related to conditions or events that may occur in the future.

Our business operation and financial performance may again be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related events.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic downturn, we had experienced a decline in the demand for our products, as our distributors and customers reduced orders and adjusted their inventory channel in response to slowdown in spending and demand for security products. While the economic recovery from this pandemic has resulted in increased demand for our products beginning in fiscal 2021, re-institution of a prolonged stay-at-home order, or any other continued decrease in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, could have a negative adverse impact on our customers and their financial condition, which could

impact their ability to meet their financial obligations and could result in elevated levels of delinquencies and bad debt losses. In addition, we rely upon our third-party vendors to provide parts and materials for us to produce our products. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these parts and materials, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic in areas where we operate.

Beginning in fiscal 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations lessened. However, the future impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and subject to change. We cannot predict when the pandemic will end, or if there will be a resurgence, and when related governmental orders and restrictions will be eased or lifted, and any extension or prolonged implementation of these restrictions will further adversely affect our business, customers and financial results. Even after such orders and restrictions are eased or lifted, the severe economic harm and recession inflicted upon the jurisdictions and areas in which we operate may last for an extended period of time and continue to adversely affect our business and financial performance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to act quickly and effectively to return to our normal operations.

Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of general economic and market conditions.

We are subject to the effects of general economic and market conditions. In the event that any of these 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 expenses being too high in relation to our revenues and cash flows.

During weak economic times, the available pool of independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment may decline as the prospects for home building and home renovation projects diminish, which may have a corresponding impact on our growth prospects. In addition, there is an increased risk during these periods that an increased percentage of independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment will file for bankruptcy protection, which may harm our reputation, revenue, profitability and results of operations.

The Company faces risks related to the restatement of its previously issued condensed financial statements with respect to the first three quarters of fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (the “Affected Periods”).

We determined to restate certain information in our previously issued condensed financial statements for the Affected Periods. As a result, we have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures, including the following:

•We will face litigation under the federal and state securities laws and other claims arising from the restatement. One such case has already been filed and we will likely face additional complaints. See Note 15-Subsequent Events. The cost of defending against those claims, the adequacy of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the ultimate outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted at this time

•The processes undertaken to effect the restatement may not be adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements, and, as a result, we may discover additional errors and our financial statements remain subject to the risk of future restatement.

•The restatement has demonstrated an additional material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of remediating that weakness and implementing new procedures and systems to correct the problems that led to the restatement will likely be time consuming and expensive and there can be no assurance how long that process will take or if the corrective measures will be successful. Furthermore, the implementation of those measures may result in an ongoing increase in administrative expenses which may adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

The markets we serve are highly competitive and we may be unable to compete effectively.

We compete with approximately 12 other companies that manufacture and market security equipment to distributors, dealers, control stations and original equipment manufacturers in the U.S. Most of these companies may have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company competes primarily on the basis of the features, quality, reliability and pricing of, and the incorporation of the latest innovative and technological advances into its products, as well as technical support services to its

Table of Contents

customers. The Company competes on the basis of its expertise, its proven products, its reputation and its ability to provide products to customers on a timely basis. The inability of the Company to compete with respect to any one or more of the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Our business may also be materially adversely affected by the announcement or introduction of new products and services by our competitors, and the implementation of effective marketing or sales strategies by our competitors. Our industry is characterized by constantly improved products. There can be no assurance that competitors will not develop products that are superior to the Company’s products. We have historically invested approximately 5% to 8% of annual revenues on R&D to mitigate this risk. However, many of our competitors have dedicated more resources and capabilities to R&D, including committing more engineers and capital expenditures, to develop and design new product that may enter the markets sooner or with more penetration. Future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to develop and market products and product enhancements cost-effectively. The Company’s research and development expenditures are principally targeted at enhancing existing products, and to a lesser extent at developing new ones. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience additional price competition, and that such competition may not adversely affect the Company’s revenues and results of operations

We may not be able to maintain or control our expenses proportionate to our sales volumes to generate profit for our business.

Certain of our expenses are fixed or semi-variable, including our costs for operating our manufacturing facilities. While expense levels relative to current sales levels result in positive net income and cash flows, if sales levels decrease significantly and we are unable to reduce expenses proportionately, our business may be adversely affected. The amount of our operating expenses are subject to variables and factors that may not be within our control, including but are not limited to, unexpected expenses relating to the manufacturing of products; increased compensation requirement for our employees and cost of raw materials. A significant portion of our expense is labor cost, including costs for workers who are operating our facility in the Dominican Republic. While we have been able to control our expenses due to the lower labor costs in the Dominican Republic, there is no guarantee that such costs will not increase in the future, or that a sufficient number of workers in Dominican Republic will be available to operate the facility efficiently, and our failure to maintain effective labor costs may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business could be adversely affected as a result of housing and commercial building market conditions.

We are subject to the effects of housing and commercial building market conditions. The sales of our security products tend to increase during period in which new housing and commercial real estate constructions are increasing. If these conditions deteriorate, resulting in declines in new housing or commercial building constructions, existing home or commercial building sales or renovations, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected, particularly in our intrusion and door locking product lines. The condition of the residential and commercial building markets in which we operate is cyclical and depends on the condition of the economy in the United States, and on the perceptions of investors of the overall economic outlook. Rising interest rates, declining employment levels, declining demand for real estate, declining real estate values or periods of general economic slowdown or recession or the perception that any of these events may occur have negatively impacted the real estate market in the past and may in the future negatively impact our ability to sell products and generate new revenue sources.

We may not be able to grow our recurring revenue business to generate consistent revenue and profitability.

A significant driver of our growth is our recurring revenue business in which customers who purchased our products and equipment are required to pay monthly fees for communications services to maintain the operation of such products. Our recurring revenue products, such as StarLink, iSecure and iBridge, tend to generate higher gross margin and are less susceptible to volatility of market demand and economic conditions. However, our revenue recurring business is relatively new and we have limited experience in developing, marketing and selling such products. We also face intense competition where other companies with greater resources and experience have established a wider and more entrenched customer base for similar products and services, making it more difficult for us to penetrate into such markets. In addition, we are required to incur costs to maintain a network operations center to provide customer support and services, and to comply with federal and state regulations governing the operation and communications of these products. Such costs may reduce our profitability if we are not able to grow and expand the recurring revenue business. As we are increasingly dependent on recurring revenue products as a driver for growth, our failure to execute our strategy for this business line will materially adversely affect our financial conditions and prospects.

We may not be able to sustain and continue the growth of school security products.

We recently experienced significant growth of demand for our security products from schools, universities and other educational institutions as a result of the national focus on prevention of school violence. Federal and state governmental authorities have proposed and enacted numerous legislation and laws, including the School Violence Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2019 that provide increased funding to public schools to implement and enhance security systems. While our business has benefited from such additional federal and state funding and increased demand, there is no guarantee that such funding and trend will continue. For example, if school shutdowns return as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and various stay-at-home orders imposed by state governments, there could be a reduced need for schools to acquire and implement security systems, and state and federal government may also decide to reduce funding or impose additional criteria for funding. These factors may result in a decline of demand for our school security products, which in turn may adversely affect our financial performance.

We rely on distributors to sell our products and an adverse change in our relationship with such distributors may adversely affect our financial performance.

We distribute our products primarily through independent distributors and wholesalers of security alarm and security hardware equipment. Our distributors and wholesalers also sell our competitors’ products, and if they favor our competitors’ products for any reason, they may fail or reduce their effort to market and sell our products as effectively or to devote resources necessary to provide effective sales, which would adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, our distributors order our products and maintain their inventory based on forecasts of potential demands from dealers and end customers, and our distributors may not be able to forecast such demand accurately, which may adversely affect our ability to generate sales and revenue in a timely manner. In some cases, distributors may delay ordering our products until they receive confirmation of orders from dealers and end customers, and this delay may cause disruption and make it more difficult for us to fill their order timely and effectively, which may adversely affect our revenue and sales.

The financial health of our distributors and wholesalers and our continuing relationships with them are important to our success. Some of these distributors and wholesalers, particularly smaller firms with limited working capital and resources, may not be able to withstand adverse changes in business conditions or mitigate the negative impact of a prolonged economic downturn or recession, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The failure of our distributors to maintain financial heath and success will impact our ability to generate revenues. Furthermore, our relationship with distributors may change or terminate due to other factors beyond our control, including but are not limited to, acquisition of distributors by third parties may not be willing to continue the relationship with us; internal restructuring or refocus of business strategies; and changes in management, all of which may negatively impact our ability to continue to sell to such distributors. Finally, we generally do not have long-term agreements with distributors who purchase our products primarily through purchase orders. Without an agreement, we are not able to guarantee that such distributors will not discontinue or terminate relationship with us at any time, and any loss of distributor will negatively impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

We may not able to gain widespread or timely market acceptance of our new products and continue to build and enhance our brand to achieve growth.

We rely on introduction of new products and services to penetrate new markets and identify additional sources of revenues order to grow our business. However, many of our distributors and customers may not be willing to change or switch to new products and equipment, or may require an extended period time to assess, test and evaluate functionalities and performance of our new products. Any delays in establishing widespread acceptance of our new products may adversely affect our financial performance and growth. In order to ensure market acceptance of new products, we have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses in sales and marketing campaign, and we may not be able to justify such costs if the effort does not produce sufficient sales and customer accounts.

We believe that building and maintaining market awareness, brand recognition and goodwill of our business and products in a cost-effective manner is important to our overall success in achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future products and is an important element in attracting new customers. An important part of our business strategy is to increase awareness of our brand and to provide marketing leadership, services and support to our distributor and customer network. While we may choose to engage in a broader marketing campaign to further promote our brand, this effort may not be successful. Our efforts in developing our brand may be hindered by the marketing efforts of our competitors and our reliance on our third parties to promote our brand. If we are unable to cost-effectively maintain and increase awareness of our brand, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be harmed.

Our financial results could be materially adversely affected as a result of offering extended payment terms to customers or if we are not able to collect our accounts receivables on a timely basis from major customers.

We regularly grant credit terms beyond 30 days to certain distributors and customers primarily in an effort to keep a full line of our products in-stock at our customers’ locations. The longer the terms that are granted, the more risk is inherent in the collection of those receivables. We cannot guarantee that distributors and customers will be able to make payments on a timely basis even after a thorough review of their credit and financial history. The ability of distributors and customers to make such payments may be subject to factors beyond our control, including their financial conditions and business operation. We may also incur additional costs and effort to collect past due receivables without assurance that a sufficient or any amount of bad debt can be collected.

We sell security products and systems and if our solutions fail for any reason, we could be subject to liability and our business could suffer.

We sell security products and services, which are designed to secure the safety of our customer and their commercial, residential, institutional, industrial or governmental properties. Our products and services may contain undetected defects in the software, infrastructure, third-party components or processes. If these solutions fail for any reason, including due to defects in our equipment, software, a carrier outage or user error, we could be subject to liability for such failures and our business could suffer. In addition, our products and systems are not installed by us, and if third parties do not install or maintain our products correctly, our products and systems may not function properly. If the improper installation or maintenance of our products and systems leads to service or equipment failures after introduction of, or an upgrade to, our products and systems, we could experience harm to our branded reputation, claims by our customers or installers or lost revenue during the period required to address the cause of the problem. Any defect in, or disruption to, our products and systems could cause consumers not to purchase additional products or systems from us, prevent potential consumers from purchasing our products and systems or harm our reputation.

We are subject to risks relating to the operation of a manufacturing facility in Dominican Republic.

We operate a manufacturing facility in Dominican Republic where the majority of our products is made and shipped to our U.S. distributors. The facility requires us to incur certain fixed operating costs that do not fluctuate with changes in production levels or utilization of our manufacturing capacity. If production levels decline due to lower demand or reduced customer orders, our fixed costs are spread over reduced levels, which may contribute to decreasing margins and reduced profitability. Operation of a manufacturing facility also subjects us to certain additional risks, including but not limited to the following:

· Unavailability of workers or insufficient workforce to operate the factory;

· Compliance with local regulatory requirements, including labor laws and tax requirements;

· Difficulties in communication and coordination with U.S. headquarters;

· Natural disasters such as hurricanes which may damage our factory; and

· Effect of general political and economic conditions of the Dominican Republic.

The occurrence of any of these factors may adversely affect the production output and operation of our factory, which will disrupt our supply chain and negatively impact our financial performance. Furthermore, we have not identified any alternative third-party factory that can manufacture our products; therefore it would be difficult for us to replace any loss of output of capacity if our factory in Dominican Republic is not functioning properly or at all.

Our business could be materially adversely affected by a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Dominican peso.

We are exposed to foreign currency risks due to our operations in the Dominican Republic. We have significant operations in the Dominican Republic, which conducts certain transactions in Dominican pesos. We are subject to the risk that currency exchange rates between the United States and the Dominican Republic will fluctuate significantly, potentially resulting in an increase in some of our expenses when US dollars are transferred to Dominican pesos to pay these expenses. For example, if the U.S. dollars weakens and the currency exchange rate is less favorable, it may be more costly for us to pay expenses for our factory in the Dominican Republic, which may adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations.

Our business could be materially adversely affected by adverse tax consequences of offshore operations.

We have operations both within the United States and offshore, with a portion of our operating income generated outside the United States. We intend to reinvest these earnings in our foreign operations indefinitely, except where we are able to repatriate these earnings to the United States without material incremental tax expense. A significant portion of our assets that result from these earnings remain outside the United States. If these indefinitely reinvested earnings were repatriated into the United States as dividends, we would be subject to additional withholding taxes.

Our failure to maintain the security of our information and technology networks could adversely affect us.

We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information and, in the normal course of our business, we collect and retain certain information pertaining to our distributors, customers, partners and employees, including personal information. If security breaches in connection with the delivery of our solutions allow unauthorized third parties to access any of this data or obtain control of our systems, our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be harmed.

The legal, regulatory and contractual environment surrounding information security, privacy and credit card fraud is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such information are under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world. Further, as the regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and worldwide laws and regulations concerning the protection of data and personal information expand and become more complex, these potential risks to our business will intensify. A significant actual or potential theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of distributors, customers, employee or other personally identifiable data, whether by third parties or as a result of employee malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such data could result in loss of confidential information, damage to our reputation, early termination of our business relationships, litigation, regulatory investigations or actions and other liabilities or actions against us, including significant fines by U.S. federal and state authorities, and other countries and private claims by companies and individuals for violation of data privacy and security regulations.

In addition, cyber-attacks from computer hackers and cyber criminals and other malicious Internet-based activity continue to increase generally, and perpetrators of cyber-attacks may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, ransomware, malware, DNS attacks, wireless network attacks, attacks on our cloud networks, phishing attempts, social engineering attempts, distributed denial of service attacks and other advanced persistent threats or malicious software programs that attack our products and services, our networks and network endpoints or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products, services and networks. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We cannot be certain that advances in cyber-capabilities or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology protecting the networks that access our platforms and solutions, and we can make no assurance that we will be able to detect, prevent, timely and adequately address or mitigate the negative effects of cyber-attacks or other security breaches. If any one of these risks materializes, our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on the effort and service of Richard L. Soloway (age 77), our founder, Chief Executive Officer and major stockholder.

The success of the Company is largely dependent on the effort and service of Richard L. Soloway, who is our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and a major stockholder. We depend on Mr. Soloway on various aspects of our business operation, including his experience and knowledge in the industry, extensive relationships with distributors and customers, and his leadership to develop and implement business strategies. The loss or reduction of services by Mr. Soloway could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects.

Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the inability to maintain adequate financing.

While our business currently does not have any debt and finances operations and capital expenditures solely utilizing cash-flows from operations, we have an unused credit facility in the event that we need to supplement current cash-flows with outside financing. The credit facility provides for certain financial covenants relating to ratios affected by profit, asset and debt levels. If the Company’s profits, asset or cash-flow levels decline below the minimums required to meet these covenants and we require outside financing, the Company may be materially adversely affected. Effects on the Company could include higher interest costs, reduction in borrowing availability or revocation of these credit facilities.

Our PPP Loans in the amount of $3.9 million were forgiven, but we may still be subject to audit and any resulting adverse audit outcome could result in the repayment of a portion or all of the PPP Loans and may adversely affect our future results of operations.

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company received $3.9 in loan proceeds (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) created the by the CARES Act

During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the PPP Loans were forgiven, in their entirety, in accordance with guidelines set forth in the PPP. The Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2022 in the amount of $3,904,000. 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.

If we were to be audited and receive an adverse outcome in such an audit, we could be required to return the full amount of the PPP Loans and may potentially be subject to civil and criminal fines and penalties. If it is subsequently determined that the PPP Loans must be repaid, such repayment could adversely impact our financial results for the period in which such repayment occurs.

As discussed in the Explanatory Note and in Note 1A to the condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A , we determined to restate certain information in our previously issued condensed financial statements for the Affected Periods. As a result, we have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures, including the following:

Table of Contents

We have identified material weaknesses in our system of internal controls and are in the process of remediation. If not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in material misstatements in our financial statements. We may be unable to develop, implement and maintain appropriate controls in future periods.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company identified three material weaknesses in internal control.

One material weakness in internal controls 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 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 second material weakness in internal controls 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.

During the Company’s closing of its books for the period ended June 30, 2023 Management identified an additional material weakness related to the Company’s Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) and Inventory during each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. The COGS figures reflected in the Company’s original Form 10-Qs were based on inventory costing as of June 30, 2022. However, in the period following June 30, 2022, substantial fluctuations occurred in certain material costs. Our inventory costing process did not identify these fluctuations in a timely manner resulting in Inventory being overstated and COGS being understated and resulting in an overstated gross profit, operating income and net income for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. While the Company has begun to take measures which it believes will remediate the underlying causes of this material weakness, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented and whether such measures will be effective. Until the Company’s remediation plan is fully implemented and effective, the Company will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to these efforts.

Based on these material weaknesses, the Company’s management has concluded that at June 30, 2023 the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

With the oversight of our audit committee, we are working to remedy the ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, but there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented. Until our remediation plan is fully implemented, we will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to these efforts.

If we do not adequately complete our remediation in a timely fashion, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, including the SEC and Nasdaq. Failure to remediate any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If our financial performance fails to meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

Mr. Soloway, members of management and certain directors own a significant portion of our outstanding voting stock and exert significant influence over our business and affairs.

Richard L. Soloway, our Chief Executive Officer, members of management and our board of directors (“Board”) beneficially own approximately 10% of our common stock. Their significant ownership will, for the foreseeable future, enable them to control our management and affairs, and most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, financing activities, a merger or sale of our assets and other significant corporate transactions. They may, in their discretion, elect to exercise these or similar rights at any time. Furthermore, the Company has established a staggered Board where the election of only one class of directors can be held at each annual meeting. This concentration of ownership, as well as a staggered or classified Board, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could materially adversely affect our stock price and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our Board or management.

ITEM 1B: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

Not applicable.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES.

The Company owns executive offices and production and warehousing facilities at 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, New York. This facility consists of a fully-utilized building of approximately 100,000 square foot on a six acre plot. This six-acre plot provides the Company with space for expansion of office, manufacturing and storage capacities.

The Company’s foreign subsidiary located in the Dominican Republic, Napco DR, S.A., owns a building of approximately 180,000 square feet of production and warehousing space in the Dominican Republic. That subsidiary also leases the land associated with this building under a 99-year lease expiring in the year 2092 at an annual base rent of approximately $235,000 and $105,000 in annual service charges. The service charges increase 2% annually over the remaining life of the lease. As of June 30, 2023, a majority of the Company’s products were manufactured at this facility, utilizing U.S. quality control standards.

Management believes that these facilities are more than adequate to meet the needs of the Company in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are no pending or threatened material legal proceedings to which NAPCO or its subsidiaries or any of their property is subject.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to claims and/or litigation. Management believes that the settlement of such claims and/or litigation, considered in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

Napco Security Technologies, Inc (“NAPCO”, “the Company”, “we”) is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, wireless 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 net sales were $170.0 million, $143.6 million and $114.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in our net sales was driven primarily by increased sales of our recurring services ($14.0 million) and sales of equipment ($12.5 million) as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in equipment sales was due primarily to the increased demand for the Company’s door-locking products. Our net income was $27.1 million, $19.6 million and $15.4 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 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.

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 2023 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 over 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 value method using an analysis of historical data. Changes to the estimated variable consideration in subsequent periods are not material.

The Company analyzes equipment 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

Table of Contents

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 7%, 10% and 10% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Reserve for Credit Losses

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 19%, 22% and 19% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales during fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 14% and 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 and 2021, respectively. The customer accounts receivable balance did not exceed 10% at June 30, 2022. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had a third customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 16% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 and 2021. The customer accounts receivable balance did not exceed 10% at June 30, 2023. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

In the ordinary course of business, we have established a reserve for credit losses and customer deductions in the amount of $131,000 and $243,000 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our reserve for credit losses 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.

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.

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 December 2022, the Company received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notifying the Company that the IRS has closed its examination of the Company’s income tax return for fiscal year ended June 30,

Table of Contents

2020. There has been no changes proposed in relation to this 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, 2023, the Company recognized a net income tax expense of $4,101,000. During the year ending June 30, 2023, the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $22,000. 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, 2023, the Company had accrued interest totaling $139,000 and $700,000 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

The Company records lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities for the operating lease on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding short-term leases (leases with terms of 12 months or less). Lease payments are discounted using a third-party secured incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement. The Company analyzes whether or not amendments to existing leases classify as a Lease Modification or a full or partial termination of the existing lease. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies; Leases for additional accounting policies and disclosures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company utilized a portion of its cash as of June 30, 2022 ($30,598,000 of $41,730,000) to purchase property, plant and equipment ($2,963,000), marketable securities ($148,000) and other investments ($25,190,000) and to pay a cash dividend ($2,298,000). 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, 2023 and 2022, 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 debt is described more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 6.5 to 1 4.9 to 1 4.1 to 1

Total debt to equity 0.0 to 1 0.0 to 1 0.0 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

Table of Contents

of approximately 4 acres of land in the Dominican Republic, on which the Company’s principle manufacturing facility is located, at an annual base rent of approximately $235,000 and $105,000 in annual service charges. The service charges increase 2% annually over the remaining life of the lease.

Working Capital. Working capital increased by $18,531,000 to $111,673,000 at June 30, 2023 from $93,142,000 at June 30, 2022. 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 is calculated by deducting Current Liabilities from Current Assets.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable decreased by $3,149,000 to $26,069,000 at June 30, 2023 as compared to $29,218,000 at June 30, 2022. The decrease in Accounts Receivable was due primarily to a decrease in net sales of hardware for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago. 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 period a year ago.

Inventories. Inventories, which include both current and non-current portions, decreased by $1,437,000 to $48,349,000 at June 30, 2023 as compared to $49,786,000 at June 30, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to lower costs of certain component part as well as lower freight costs in fiscal 2023, both of which had increased in price due to the supply chain shortages in fiscal 2022. Inventories 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.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, not including income taxes payable, decreased by $4,939,000 to $19,686,000 as of June 30, 2023 as compared to $24,625,000 at June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to decreased purchases of component parts during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago. 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 was 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.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

Fiscal year ended June 30, (dollars in thousands)

Net sales in fiscal 2023 increased by $26,404,000 to $169,997,000 as compared to $143,593,000 in fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s recurring alarm communication services ($13,954,000), Alarm Lock brand door-locking products ($12,067,000), Marks brand door-locking products ($2,644,000) and Continental brand access control products ($916,000) as partially offset by a decrease in sales of Napco brand intrusion products ($3,178,000). The Company’s increase in equipment sales was primarily due to increased demand for door locking and access control products in the new construction and retrofit building markets. In addition, fiscal 2022 net sales of the Company’s cellular radio products benefited from dealers needing to replace their existing 3G radios with 4G or 5G models as the major cellular providers sunset their 3G networks. Fiscal 2023 returned to more normal sales levels.

The Company's gross profit increased by $14,077,000 to $73,233,000 or 43.1% of net sales in fiscal 2023 as compared to $59,156,000 or 41.2% of net sales in fiscal 2022. Gross profit on equipment sales was $19,865,000 or 18.0% of net equipment sales in fiscal 2023 and $19,141,000 or 19.6% of net equipment sales, in fiscal 2022. Gross profit on service revenues was $53,368,000 or 89.0% of net service revenues in fiscal 2023 and $40,015,000 or 87.0% of net service revenues, in fiscal 2022. The increase in Gross profit on equipment sales was primarily the result of the higher equipment sales, which increased overhead absorption, as partially offset by increased labor costs in both the U.S. and Dominican Republic as well as higher prices of certain component parts. The Company purchased these higher-priced components at a significant premium during the supply chain interruptions during the latter part of fiscal 2022 in order to continue to supply the Company’s communication devices that led to the creation of recurring service revenues for the Company. The prices of these components began decreasing during fiscal 2023.

Research and Development expenses increased by $1,304,000 to $9,328,000 in fiscal 2023 as compared to $8,024,000 in fiscal 2022. This increase was due primarily to salary increases and additional staff.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2023 increased by $673,000 to $33,580,000 as compared to $32,907,000 in fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.8% in fiscal 2023 from 22.9% in fiscal 2022. The increases in dollars resulted primarily from costs associated with the Company’s Form S-3 filing as well as increased credit card processing fees, as partially offset by lower legal and employee compensation costs.

Interest and other income/(expense), net for fiscal 2023 increased by $1,186,000 to income of $903,000 as compared to an expense of $283,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase was due primarily to the Company investing more of its cash into short term investments as described more fully in Note 1 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

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 2023 increased by $1,854,000 to $4,101,000 as compared to $2,247,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 increased to 13% as compared to 10% for fiscal 2022. The increase in the Company’s fiscal 2023 effective tax rate is primarily due to the $3,904,000 in non-taxable income from a one-time extinguishment of debt included in fiscal 2022.

Net income for fiscal 2023 increased by $7,528,000 to $27,127,000 as compared to $19,599,000 in fiscal 2022. This resulted primarily from the items discussed above.

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.

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 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.

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 $892,000.

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, 2023, the Company identified three material weaknesses in internal control.

FS-1

Table of Contents

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

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 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 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.

In addition to the foregoing, during the Company’s closing of its books for the period ended June 30, 2023, management identified a third material weakness related to the Company’s Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) and Inventory during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. COGS reflected in the Company’s Original Form 10-Q was based on inventory costing as of June 30, 2022. However, in the period following June 30, 2022, substantial fluctuations occurred in certain material costs. Our inventory costing process did not identify these fluctuations in a timely manner resulting in Inventory being overstated and COGS being understated and resulting in an overstated gross profit, operating income, income before the provision for income taxes and net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. While the Company has begun the process to take measures which it believes will remediate the underlying causes of this material weakness, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented and whether such measures will be effective. Until the Company’s remediation plan is fully implemented and effective, the Company will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to these efforts.

Based on these material weaknesses, the Company’s management has concluded that at June 30, 2023 the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

Management is currently designing and implementing additional controls and procedures to remediate these items and expects to complete these actions during fiscal 2024. While the Company has begun the process to take measures which it believes will remediate the underlying causes of these material weaknesses, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plans will be fully developed and implemented and whether such measures will be effective. Until the Company’s remediation plans are fully implemented and effective, the Company will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to these efforts.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting except as described above.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, because of the

FS-2

Table of Contents

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, 2023, 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.

There were ineffectively designed control activities over the proper costing of inventory at interim dates to ensure that inventory is presented on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis and at net realizable value.

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 2023 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

FS-3

Table of Contents

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, 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.

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.

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. Significant future deterioration of the current economic conditions may also affect this trend. The monthly recurring revenue, which is less susceptible to these fluctuations, allows us to generate a more consistent and predictable stream of income and mitigates the risk of fluctuation in market demand for our equipment products.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

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

Accounting Estimates

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits, 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 $15,242,000 of short-term time deposits, consisting of several certificates of deposit totaling $15,179,000 and $63,000 in a money market fund as of June 30, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $63,000 of short-term time deposits, consisting of $63,000 in a money market fund as of June 30, 2022. The Company classifies these highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Certificates of deposit with an original maturity greater than three months are classified as Investments – other.

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

Balance Sheet Classification Interest Rate Maturity Date Cost Carrying Value

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, 2023 and 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022, 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 credit losses of $131,000 and $243,000 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our reserves for credit losses are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

FS-11

Table of Contents

Inventories

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

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

Property, Plant, and Equipment

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

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

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

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

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $361,000, $391,000 and $425,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2024 - $336,000; 2025 - $315,000; 2026 - $297,000; 2027 - $283,000; and 2028 - $269,000. The weighted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets was 15.5 years and 16.2 years at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

FS-12

Table of Contents

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.

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.

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, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $2,931,000, $2,889,000 and $1,306,000, 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $9,328,000, $8,024,000 and $7,620,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

Net Income per Share

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

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

Effect of Dilutive Securities:

Options to purchase 7,534, 214,109 and 40,000 shares of common stock for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 five share incentive programs as discussed in Note 9.

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

Stock-based compensation costs of $1,464,000, $1,649,000 and $435,000 were recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2023, 2022 or 2021.

Comprehensive Income

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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.

Table of Contents

Shipping and Handling Sales and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($450,000, $428,000 and $395,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively) and classifies the costs associated with these sales in cost of sales ($1,697,000, $1,425,000 and $1,058,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively).

Leases

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

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.

The Company’s bank has notified the Company that its LIBOR option will continue to be available to it through June 30, 2023, at which time the option will shift to the Benchmark Replacement as defined in the agreement with the bank (see Note 8). The Company does not believe that this transition will have a material impact on its financial condition.

NOTE 2 – Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

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

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company included refund liabilities of approximately $5,521,000 and $5,863,000, respectively, in current liabilities. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company included return-related assets of approximately $1,338,000 and $974,000, respectively, in other current assets.

As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 7%, 10% and 10% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and
