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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. (“NAPCO”). MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Form 10-K). This section generally discusses the results of our operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 compared to the year ended June 30, 2023. For a discussion of the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year ended June 30, 2022, please refer to, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Overview

Napco is a leading manufacturer and designer of high-tech electronic security devices, wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products, used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by our recurring service revenues from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems.

NAPCO has established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high-quality security solutions. We are dedicated to developing innovative technology and producing the next generation of reliable security solutions that utilize remote communications and wireless networks.

Highlights from fiscal year 2024 compared with fiscal year 2023 included:

● Gross margin for equipment revenue was 29.4% as compared to 18.0%.

Industry Trends

Our industry is dynamic and highly competitive, with frequent changes in both technologies and business models. Each industry shift is an opportunity to conceive new products, new technologies, or new ideas that can further transform the industry and our business. Napco continually innovates through a broad range of research and development activities that seek to identify and address the changing demands of customers, industry trends, and competitive forces.

Economic Conditions and Other Factors

We are subject to the effects of general macroeconomic and market conditions.

The markets for security devices and services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are continually developing new products and solutions for consumers and businesses. We must continue to evolve and adapt to respond to customer and user preferences over an extended time in pace with this changing environment.

Refer to Risk Factors (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K) for a discussion of these factors and other risks.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

Our revenue fluctuates quarterly and is generally higher in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires a high degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continuously evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change, and actual results may differ from these estimates.

We consider the following significant accounting policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in maintaining them.

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.

Equipment Revenue

Equipment revenue, which includes shipping and handling costs, is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer, which is typically the date of shipment of the related equipment when the product is picked up by the carrier or customer. A provision for product returns, credits and rebates is recorded as a reduction of equipment revenue in the same period the revenue is recognized.

The Company provides a limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months, and 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. Reserves are established for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and such variable consideration is measured based on the expected value method.

The Company analyzes product sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on several factors including actual returns and expected return data communicated to the Company by its customers.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is primarily generated from the sale of monthly cellular communication services to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably with the delivery of cellular communication service over the related monthly period, and when ownership, risks and rewards transfer to the customer..

The services are billed monthly, and customers have the right to cancel the cellular communication services at any time, however the contract with the customer does not provide.

Inventory Valuation

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

Table of Contents

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 a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value. This reserve is calculated using an estimated excess and slow-moving 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 excess and slow-moving 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.

Legal and Other Contingencies

The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are as follows:

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​ ​

We believe that our projected cash flow from operations, combined with our cash and short-term investments, will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital requirements, contractual obligations, and other cash flow needs for the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Net Sales

Net sales in fiscal 2024 increased by $18,823,000 to $188,820,000 as compared to $169,997,000 in fiscal 2023. The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s recurring alarm communication services of $15,814,000, Alarm Lock brand door-locking products of $4,099,000, Marks brand door-locking products of $6,882,000 as partially offset by a decrease in sales of Continental brand access control products of $206,000 and Napco brand intrusion products of $7,766,000.

Gross Profit

The Company's gross profit increased by $28,521,000 to $101,754,000 or 54% of net sales in fiscal 2024 as compared to $73,233,000 or 43.1% of net sales in fiscal 2023. Gross profit on equipment sales was $33,209,000 or 29.4% of net equipment sales in fiscal 2024 and $19,865,000 or 18.0% of net equipment sales, in fiscal 2023. Gross profit on service revenues was $68,545,000 or 90.5% of net service revenues in fiscal 2024 and $53,368,000 or 89.0% of net service revenues, in fiscal 2023. The increase in Gross profit on equipment sales was primarily the result of the higher equipment sales, which increased overhead absorption, as well as the stabilization of component costs as partially offset by increased labor costs in both the U.S. and Dominican Republic.

Research and Development

Research and Development expenses increased by $1,435,000 to $10,763,000 in fiscal 2024 as compared to $9,328,000 in fiscal 2023. This increase was due primarily to salary increases and additional staff.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2024 increased by $3,593,000 to $37,173,000 as compared to $33,580,000 in fiscal 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales remained consistent at 19.7% in fiscal 2024 compared to 19.8% in fiscal 2023. The increases was a result of transaction costs associated with the Company’s Form S-3 filing, increased employee compensation costs, as well as increased accounting and legal expenses, partially offset by lower credit card fees.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) for fiscal 2024 increased by $1,665,000 to $2,568,000 as compared to income of $903,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase was due primarily to interest and dividend income from the Company’s cash and short-term investments.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for fiscal 2024 increased by $2,467,000 to $6,568,000 as compared to $4,101,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 decreased to 12% as compared to 13% for fiscal 2023 as a result of a larger portion of the Company’s taxable income being attributable to foreign operations.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio. We internally manage our investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our investment portfolio includes fixed-income securities with a fair value of approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2024. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and, based on our investment portfolio at June 30, 2024, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of approximately $108,000. While an increase in interest rates may reduce the fair value of the investment portfolio, we will not realize the losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income unless the individual fixed-income securities are sold prior to recovery or the loss is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Currency Exchange Risk

We conduct business with non-U.S. customers, however 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.

If changes in exchange rates were to negatively effect these customers, the Company could have trouble collecting unsecured receivables, and or experience 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 $886,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Napco Security Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 29, 2024, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates 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 matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Excess and Slow-Moving Inventory Reserve — Refer to Note 1 and 6 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Management records a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated net realizable value. The reserve is calculated using an estimated reserve 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. The reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory was $5 million at June 30, 2024.

FS-2

Table of Contents

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 reserve percentage and forecasted inventory usage. This required a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the significant estimates and assumptions used in the excess and slow-moving inventory reserve included the following, among others:

o Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations.

NAPCO SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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”, “us”) 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.

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. We continuously evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Critical estimates include management’s judgments associated with reserves for sales returns and allowances, allowance for credit losses, overhead expenses applied to inventory, inventory reserves, valuation of intangible assets, share based compensation and income taxes. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change, and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses reflected in the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of debt for footnote disclosure purposes, including current maturities, if any, is estimated using recently quoted market prices of the instrument, or if not available, a discounted cash flow analysis based on the estimated current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Such items may include liquid money market funds, certificate of deposit and time deposit accounts. Investments that are classified as cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Certificate of deposits with an original maturity greater than three months are classified as Investments – other.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents included approximately $46,518,000 of short-term time deposits, consisting of a certificate of deposit totaling $5,402,000 and $41,116,000 in money market funds as of June 30, 2024. 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 $63,000in a money market fund as of June 30, 2023.

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, 2024 and 2023. The Company has not historically experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limits.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in other income (expense). 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, 2024 and 2023, 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.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for credit losses of $32,000 and $131,000 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), the Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for trade and other receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset which includes consideration of past events and historical loss experience, current events and also future events based on our expectation as of the balance sheet date. Receivables are written off when the Company determined that such receivables are deemed uncollectible. The Company pools its receivables based on similar risk characteristics in estimating its expected credit losses. In situations where a receivable does not share the same risk characteristics with other receivables, the Company measures those receivables individually. The Company also continuously evaluates such pooling decisions and adjusts as needed from period to period as risk characteristics change.

The Company utilizes the loss rate method in determining its lifetime expected credit losses on its receivables. This method is used for calculating an estimate of losses based primarily on the Company’s historical loss experience. In determining its loss rates, the Company evaluates information related to its historical losses, adjusted for current conditions and further adjusted for the period of time that can be reasonably forecasted. Qualitative and quantitative adjustments related to current conditions and the reasonable and supportable forecast period consider all the following: past due receivables, the customer creditworthiness, changes in the terms of receivables, effect of other external forces such as competition, and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing receivables.

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 a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated realizable value. This reserve is calculated using an estimated excess and slow-moving 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 excess and slow-moving percentage (See Note 6).

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.

FS-11

Table of Contents

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.

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

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $337,000, $361,000 and $391,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2025 - $315,000; 2026 - $297,000; 2027 - $283,000; 2028 - $269,000; and 2029 - $210,000. The weighted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets was 14.8 years and 15.5 years at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

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

Equipment Revenue

Equipment revenue, which includes shipping and handling costs, is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer, which is typically the date of shipment of the related equipment when the product is picked up by the carrier or customer. A provision for product returns, credits and rebates is recorded as a reduction of equipment revenue in the same period the revenue is recognized.

The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months, and 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. Reserves are established for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and such variable consideration is measured based on the expected value method.

The Company analyzes product sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on several factors including actual returns and expected return data communicated to the Company by its customers.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is primarily generated from the sale of monthly cellular communication services to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably with the delivery of cellular communication service over the related monthly period, and when ownership, risks and rewards transfer to the customer.

The services are billed monthly, and customers have the right to cancel the cellular communication services at any time, however the contract with the customer does not provide for a refund.

FS-12

Table of Contents

Cost of Sales

Equipment Cost of Sales

Equipment cost of sales is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct and indirect overhead expenses necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished products.

Service Cost of Sales

Service cost of sales includes the cost of operating our network operations center to manage and deliver telecommunication services.

Shipping and Handling Sales and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($349,000, $450,000 and $428,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively) and classifies the costs associated with these sales in cost of sales ($1,573,000, $1,697,000 and $1,425,000 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively).

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, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $3,262,000, $2,931,000 and $2,889,000, 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $10,763,000, $9,328,000 and $8,024,000, 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.

Options to purchase 19,663, 7,534 and 214,109 shares of common stock for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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 10.

Stock-based awards exchanged for services are accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. The expense for awards is recognized over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). The Company has elected to treat awards with only service conditions and with graded vesting as one award. Consequently, the total compensation expense is recognized straight-line over the entire vesting period, so long as the compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that is vested at that date.

Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires assumptions and judgments about expected volatility, among other factors.

Stock-based compensation costs of $1,733,000, $1,464,000 and $1,649,000 were recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined the functional currency of all foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. All foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company’s operations. The day-to-day operations of all foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S. Dollar. Therefore, no realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation are recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 or 2022.

Comprehensive Income

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s operations did not give rise to material items includable in comprehensive income, which were not already included in net income. Accordingly, the Company’s comprehensive income approximates its net income for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates and measures its results in one operating segment and therefore has one reportable segment: the development, manufacture and sales of high-tech security devices and related cellular communication services for the devices. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, (the President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer) evaluates performance of the Company and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources based on total Company results. The Company has presented required geographical data in Note 15.

FS-14

Table of Contents

Leases

The Company determines at contract inception if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, of an identified asset for which the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from its use and the right to direct its use. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit discount rate in the Company’s leases generally cannot readily be determined, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. If the Company has options to renew or terminate certain leases, those options are included in the determination of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components in determining ROU assets or lease liabilities for real estate leases. Additionally, the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with original terms or renewals of one year or less. See Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies; Leases for additional accounting policies and disclosures.

Legal and Other Contingencies

The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform (ASC Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide optional relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is expected to be phased out for new arrangements at the end of calendar 2021, and applies to lease contracts, hedging instruments, held-to-maturity debt securities and debt arrangements that have LIBOR as the benchmark rate. On February 9, 2024, the Company’s bank has shifted to the Benchmark Replacement as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Agreement”) with the bank. The new benchmark rate is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (see Note 9). The adoption of the standard and the transition did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The update improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The guidance requires that an acquiring entity in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contract. The amendments in this update were adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and will be applied prospectively to applicable business combinations. The Company determined that adoption of this update has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. It further requires disclosure of the amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of both a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance requires disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and how reported measures of segment profit or loss are used to assess performance and allocate resources. This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning

FS-15

Table of Contents

after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is evaluating other pronouncements recently issued but not yet adopted. The adoption of these pronouncements is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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, 2024 and 2023, the Company included refund liabilities of approximately $6,295,000 and $5,521,000, respectively, in accrued expenses within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company included return-related assets of approximately $1,586,000 and $1,338,000, respectively, in other current assets.

As a percentage of gross sales, sales returns, rebates and allowances were 7%, 7% and 10% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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

NOTE 3 – Business and Credit Concentrations

An entity is more vulnerable to concentrations of credit risk if it is exposed to risk of loss greater than it would have had if it mitigated its risk through diversification of customers. The Company had one customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 17%, 19% and 22% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales during fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 12% and 14% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company had a third customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 16% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2022. The customer accounts receivable balance did not exceed 10% at June 30, 2024 or 2023. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 4 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and valuations as provided by third-party sources. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

NOTE 8 - Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), tax benefit of R&D credits, and certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes.

The amounts of income before income taxes attributable to domestic and foreign operations were as follows:

The Company has identified the United States and New York State as its major tax jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2021 and forward are still open for examination, in addition to fiscal year 2018, which is subject to a six year statute of limitations. 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.

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

During the year ending June 30, 2024, the Company did not increase or decrease its reserve for uncertain income tax positions. 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, 2024, the Company had accrued interest totaling $217,000, penalties totaling $5,000, 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 does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. The Company claims R&D tax credits on eligible research and development expenditures. The R&D tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.

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

The Amended Agreement extends the term of the Agreement from June 28, 2024, to February 9, 2029. The Amended Agreement also increases the available

revolving credit line from $11,000,000 to $20,000,000 and replaces the LIBOR benchmark rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) benchmark rate. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has no outstanding debt.

The Amended Agreement provides for a SOFR-based interest rate option of SOFRplus1.2645% to 1.3645%, depending on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which is to be measured and adjusted quarterly, a prime rate-based interest rate option of the prime rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, and other terms and conditions as more fully described in the Amended Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Amended Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all its domestic assets, including but not limited to, deposit accounts, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and fixtures and intangible assets. In addition, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, except for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, have issued guarantees and pledges of all their assets to secure the Company’s obligations under the Amended Agreement. All the outstanding common stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been pledged to secure the Company’s obligations under the Amended Agreement. The Amended Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including, but not limited to, compliance with certain financial rations, restrictions on payment of dividends and restrictions on borrowings.

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

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

NOTE 10 - Stock Options

The Company follows ASC 718 (“Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values and over the requisite service period. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $1,733,000 ($.05 per basic and diluted share), $1,464,000 ($.04 per basic and diluted share) and $1,649,000 ($.04 per basic and diluted share), respectively, relating to stock-based compensation which are included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of income.

2012 Employee Stock Option Plan

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

Under the 2012 Employee Plan, stock options may be granted to valued employees with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At June 30, 2024, 363,036 stock options were outstanding, 190,960 stock options were exercisable and no further stock options were available for grant under this plan. No options were granted under this plan during the year ended June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents

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

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Risk-free interest rates ​ n/a ​ 3.03 % 1.64 %

Expected lives ​ n/a ​ 7.27 Years ​ 6.18 Years ​

Expected volatility ​ n/a ​ 43 % 43 %

Expected dividend yields ​ n/a ​ 0 % 0 %

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