NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Moving iMage Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise, the (“Company”) was incorporated in June 2020. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Technologies, LLC (“MiT LLC”) and MiT LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Acquisition Co., (DBA “Caddy Products”), designs, integrates, installs and distributes proprietary and custom designed equipment as well as off the shelf cinema products needed for contemporary cinema requirements. The Company also offers single source solutions for cinema design, procurement, installation and service to the creative and production communities for screening, digital intermediate and other critical viewing rooms. Additionally, the Company offers a wide range of technical, design and consulting services such as custom engineering, systems design, integration and installation, and digital technology, as well as software solutions for operations enhancement and theatre management. The Company also provides turnkey furniture, fixture and equipment services to commercial cinema exhibitors for new construction and remodels including design, consulting, installation and project management as well as procurement of seats, lighting, acoustical treatments, screens, projection and sound.
Moving iMage Acquisition Co. (DBA “Caddy Products”) designs, develops and manufactures innovative products for the entertainment, cinema, grocery, worship, restaurant, sports and restroom industries.
Share Exchange:
In June 2020, MiT LLC members created Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (“MIT Inc.”) to facilitate the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Upon formation of MiT, Inc., 2,000,000 shares of MiT, Inc. common stock were issued to members of MiT LLC. On July 7, 2021, MiT LLC and MiT Inc. entered into an exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) whereby the members of MiT LLC exchanged their membership interest for 2,350,000 shares of common stock in MiT Inc. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the members of MiT LLC owned approximately 79% or 4,452,334 of the outstanding common stock of MiT Inc. As a result, MiT LLC (the entity where the Company conducts its business) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiT Inc. (the SEC registrant).
The transaction was accounted for as a merger of entities under common ownership in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This determination was primarily based on the facts that, immediately before and after the transaction: (i) MiT LLC owners owned a substantial majority of the voting rights in the combined company, (ii) MiT LLC designated a majority of the members of the initial board of directors of the combined company, and (iii) MiT LLC’s senior management holds all key positions in the senior management of the combined company.
Initial Public Offering: On July 12, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering and issued 4,830,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $12,360,000 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other expenses of approximately $2,130,000.
On July 12, 2021, in connection with the IPO, warrants to purchase 139,611 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised on a cashless basis.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world and the movie exhibition industry. The social and economic effects have been widespread. At various points during the pandemic, authorities around the world imposed measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19, including stay-at-home orders and restrictions on large public gatherings, which caused movie theaters in countries around the world to temporarily close. The repercussions of the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in a significant impact to our customers, specifically those in the entertainment and cinema industries. As a result, the Company implemented various cash preservation strategies, including, but not limited to, temporary personnel and salary reductions, halting non-essential operating and capital expenditures, and negotiating modified timing and/or abatement of contractual payments with landlords and other major suppliers.
Throughout 2020 and 2022 the theatres reopened as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would allow. As of September 30, 2023, a large majority of domestic and international theatres were open. The industry’s recovery to historical levels of new film content, both in terms of the number of new films and box office performance, is still underway, as the industry also continues to adjust to evolving theatrical release windows, competition from streaming and other delivery platforms, supply chain delays, inflationary pressures, labor shortages, wage rate pressures and other economic factors.
Based on the Company’s current estimates of recovery, it believes it will generate, sufficient cash to sustain operations for a period of 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MiT Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, MiT LLC, and MiT LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Acquisition Co., (DBA “Caddy Products”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation: The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, and with the disclosures and risk factors presented therein. The June 30, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending June 30, 2024.
F-8
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Marketable Securities: In March 2023, the Company sold all its marketable securities with the proceeds deposited to the Company’s cash account. As a result, the prior fair value and market data disclosure are no longer needed for the period ended September 30, 2023 and June 30 , 2023.
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured - In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company impaired $(0.287) million in Goodwill, $(0.363) million in Intangible assets and $(0.304) in Note Receivables. There were no impairments recognized for the period ended September 30, 2023.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including sales returns, bad debts, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, purchase price allocation and asset impairments), disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of Cash: The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.
Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less allowance for bad debts. Management determines the allowance for bad debts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days past the customer’s granted terms. The Company does not charge interest on past due balances or require collateral on its accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 the allowance for bad debts is approximately $128,000 and $127,000, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out cost method of accounting. The Company purchases finished goods and materials to assemble kits in quantities that it anticipates will be fully used in the near term. Changes in operating strategy, customer demand, and fluctuations in market values can limit the Company’s ability to effectively utilize all products purchased and can result in finished goods with above-market carrying costs which may cause losses on sales to customers. The Company’s policy is to closely monitor inventory levels, obsolescence and lower market values compared to costs and, when necessary, reduce the carrying amount of its inventory to its net realizable value. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the inventory reserve was $647,000 and $584,000, respectively, and inventory on hand was comprised primarily of finished goods ready for sale.
Revenue Recognition: The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred at the point of shipment to a customer, and when performance conditions are satisfied, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods as per the agreement with the customer. The Company generates all its revenue from agreements with customers. In case
F-9
there are agreements with multiple performance obligations, the Company identifies each performance obligation and evaluates whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the agreement at the agreement’s inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at agreement inception are combined. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation proportionately based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation and then evaluates how the services are transferred to the customer to determine the timing of revenue recognition.
The Company considers the U.S. GAAP criteria for determining whether to report revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Factors considered include whether the Company is the primary obligor, has risks and rewards of ownership, and bears the risk that a customer may not pay for the products provided or services performed. If there are circumstances where the above criteria are not met, revenues recognized are presented net of cost of goods sold.
Contract assets consist of conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. Accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers where the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date (i.e., unconditional rights to consideration). The Company does not have contract assets that represent conditional rights to consideration.
Contract liabilities consist of customer refunds and warranty liabilities, as well as deposits received in advance on sales to certain customers. Such deposits are reflected as customer deposits and recognized in revenue when control of the products is transferred or when performance conditions are satisfied per the agreement. The change in contract liabilities (customer deposits and unearned warranty revenue) during the three months ended September 30, 2023 included $1.982 million for revenue recognized that was included in contract liability as of July 1, 2023.

Total contract liabilities | $ | 2,548 | $ | 3,334 |
Cost of goods sold includes cost of inventory sold during the period, net of vendor discounts and allowances, and shipping and handling costs, and sales taxes. Taxes collected from customers are included in accounts payable on a net basis (excluded from revenues) until remitted to the government.
Deferred contract acquisition costs consist of sales commissions paid to the sales force, and the related employer payroll taxes, and are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company has determined that sales commissions paid are an immaterial component of obtaining a customer’s contract and has elected to expense sales commissions when earned.

Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon delivery of such equipment to customers and when performance conditions are satisfied.
Revenue from installation is recognized upon completion of the installation project and when the performance obligation is complete.
F-10
Software subscription revenue for remote monitoring services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, usually one year. Services revenues are generally recognized over time as the contracts are performed.
Returns and Allowances: The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends.
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold and are recognized as a period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Advertising Costs Advertising costs were approximately $3,400 and $6,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred within selling and marketing expenses.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Company had no Goodwill as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in the 2019 Caddy Acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in June, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates. The Company operates as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating goodwill impairment. On July 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. As such, the Company’s goodwill impairment test includes a one-step qualitative impairment test whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting units carrying amount over its fair value. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no impairment exists. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Goodwill is at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unexpected changes in the Company’s forecasted future results and cash flows, or if there is a negative change in the long-term outlook for the business or in other factors such as the discount rate, or if there is a decline in the stock price.
Intangible assets arising from business combinations, such as customer relationships, trade names, and/or intellectual property, are initially recorded at fair value. The Company amortizes these intangible assets over the determined useful life which generally ranges from 11 to 20 years. Management reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. There were no intangible asset impairments recognized for the three months months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
Business Combinations: The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires commencing on the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes: The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. 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.

Leases: On July 1, 2022 the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on their balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 842, on July 1, 2022 the Company recognized Right of Use Assets in the amount of $665,000 and a lease liability of $681,000 for the leases associated with its executive office and warehouse space, as described in Note 9.
Product Warranty: The Company’s digital equipment products are sold under various limited warranty arrangements ranging from one year to three years. Company policy is to establish reserves for estimated product warranty costs in the period when the related revenue is recognized. The Company has the right to return defective products for up to three years, depending on the manufacturers’ individual policies. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company has established a warranty reserve of $61,000 and $53,000, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Research and Development: The Company incurs costs to develop new products, as well as improve the appeal and functionality of its existing products. Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU 2016-13 credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.
F-12
The Company adopted the new pronouncement on July 1, 2023. The allowance for credit losses has been adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides no threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or not yet due may not require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, Management has estimated an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods.
Management has assessed that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 has had no impact on its September 30, 2023 10-Q consolidated financial statements. Due the Management’s continuing ability to obtain 90% of contract value in up-front customer deposits, MIT’s risk is only the remaining 10% of the customer’s contract value. The combined effect of up-front customer deposits, prompt collection of trade receivables and application of historical aging criteria has resulted in minimal bad debts and allowances for doubtful accounts.
NOTE 2 — INVESTMENTS
In March 2023, the Company sold all its marketable securities with the proceeds deposited to the Company’s cash account.

NOTE 3 — LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share data for each period presented is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each such period. Diluted loss per share data is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 the Company had net income and the three months ended June 30, 2023 had a net loss. However, all potentially dilutive securities were also deemed to be anti-dilutive because their exercise price exceeded the weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the period.

NOTE 7 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to employees. As of September 30, 2023, the Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 stock-based awards. There are 1,220,000 stock-based awards available to grant under the Plan at September 30, 2023.
In July 2021, MiT Inc. entered into an Exchange Agreement with MiT LLC pursuant to which MiT Inc. agreed to exchange membership units for 2,350,000 shares of Common Stock representing 41.4% of the equity as of such date on a fully diluted basis for no consideration. The shares were exchanged as part of the Exchange Agreement with the Company as described in Note 1.
In July 2021, the Company granted options to non-employee directors to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The options vest one year from the date of grant, expire ten years from the date of grant and had an aggregate grant date fair value of $244,200, which will be recognized ratably over the vesting period. On May 26, 2023, the Board of Directors cancelled 150,000 options consisting of 50,000 options each to John Stiska, and with an exercise price of $3.00. In its place, the Board granted 150,000 options consisting of 50,000 options each with an exercise price of $1.10 vesting immediately to John Stiska, and . In addition to the director options, the Board granted CFO William Greene 100,000 options with an exercise price of $1.10 with 25% vesting immediately the remainder vesting at 25% thereafter. These options, which were the only options granted during the year ended June 30, 2023, had a grant-date fair value of $1.10 per share. The Company recognized compensation expense for stock option awards of approximately $113,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. None of these potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The Company recognized $5,000 in compensation expense for stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
On March 6, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws that amends the quorum for a stockholders’ meeting or action to be at least 33 1/3% of all shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy.
At September 30, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards and no option grants during the period.
The estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. No options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The following weighted average assumptions were used for option grants during the three months ended June 30, 2023:

Overview
We are a leading provider of technology, products, and services to movie theater operators and sports and entertainment venues.
1) | We provide a set of valuable services to movie theater operators and other critical screening and viewing rooms. These services include overall project management, which can encompass a wide range of design, integration, installation, and procurement services for new auditorium builds, refurbishments, or upgrades to existing facilities. |
2) | We design and manufacture a set of proprietary products that are sold either as part of our project management services or a la carte. Examples of these products include our ADA-compliant accessibility products and our Caddy brand, a leading provider of proprietary cup holders, trays, and other products sold into our strategic markets of motion picture exhibition, entertainment, and sports venues as well as other non-strategic markets. We also resell third-party technologies, including but not limited to items such as screens, projectors, and servers. |
3) | We resell third-party products as part of our project management services or a la carte. These include technology products such as screens, projectors, servers, and FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment). |
4) | Finally, we have a set of recently introduced products that we believe have the potential to be disruptive to the movie theater, entertainment and sports venue industries. For example, our operations enhancement and theater management solution include a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform combined with other technologies that allow theater operators to improve their quality control. We have also developed a translator product and service that will enable moviegoers to |
22
watch a movie in any language that the film is available in, all in the same auditorium through a set of augmented reality glasses. Another example is a proprietary mobile cart we’ve developed to enable eSports and gaming in movie-theater auditoriums. |
Factors affecting our performance
Effect of COVID-19 global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world and the movie exhibition industry. The social and economic effects have been widespread. At various points during the pandemic, authorities around the world imposed measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19, including stay-at-home orders and restrictions on large public gatherings, which caused movie theaters in countries around the world to temporarily close. The repercussions of the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in a significant impact to our customers, specifically those in the entertainment and cinema industries. As a result, the Company implemented various cash preservation strategies, including, but not limited to, temporary personnel and salary reductions, halting non-essential operating and capital expenditures, and negotiating modified timing and/or abatement of contractual payments with landlords and other major suppliers.
Throughout 2020 and 2021 the theatres reopened as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would allow. As of September 30, 2023, a large majority of domestic and international theatres were open. The industry’s recovery to historical levels of new film content, both in terms of the number of new films and box office performance, is still underway, as the industry also continues to adjust to evolving theatrical release windows, competition from streaming and other delivery platforms, supply chain delays, inflationary pressures, labor shortages, wage rate pressures and other economic factors.
Based on our current estimates of recovery, we believe we have, and will generate, sufficient cash to sustain operations. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Investment in Growth. We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding our operations, increasing our headcount, developing our products and services to support our growth and expanding our infrastructure. We expect our total operating expenses to increase in the foreseeable future to meet our growth objectives. We plan to continue to invest in our sales and support operations with a particular focus in the near term of adding additional sales personnel to further broaden our support and coverage of our existing customer base, in addition to developing new customer relationships. Any investments we make in our sales and marketing organization will occur in advance of experiencing any benefits from such investments, and the return on these investments may be lower than we expect. In addition, as we invest in expanding our operations internationally, our business and results of operations will become further subject to the risks and challenges of international operations, including higher operating expenses and the impact of legal and regulatory developments outside the United States.
Adding New Customers and Expanding Sales to Our Existing Customer Base. We intend to target new customers by continuing to invest in our field sales force. We also intend to continue to target large customers’ organizations who have yet to use our products and services. A typical initial order involves educating prospective customers about the technical merits and capabilities and potential cost savings of our products and services as compared to our competitors’ products. We believe that customer references have been, and will continue to be, an important factor in winning new business. We expect that a substantial portion of our future sales will be sales to existing customers, including expansion of their product and service offerings, as we offer new products and services through the existing sales channel. Our business and results of operations will depend on our ability to continue to add new customers and sell additional products and services to our growing base of customers.
Promoting Our Brand and Offering Additional Products. Our future performance will depend on our continued ability to achieve brand recognition for our proprietary line of products. We plan to increase our marketing expenditures to continue to create and maintain prominent brand awareness. Also, our future performance will depend on our ability to continue to offer high quality, high performance and high functionality products and services. We intend to continue to devote efforts to introduce new products and services including new versions of our existing product lines. We expect that our results of operations will be impacted by the timing, size and level of success of these brand awareness and product and service offering efforts.
Ability to Maintain Gross Margins. Our gross margins have been and are expected to continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including competition, the timing of changes in pricing, shipment volumes, new product introductions, changes in product mixes, changes in our purchase price of components and assembly and test service costs and inventory write downs, if any. Our goal is
23
to strive to maintain gross profits for products that may have a declining average selling price by continuing to focus on increased sales volume and looking to reduce operating costs. Decreases in average selling prices are primarily driven by competition and by reduced demand for products that face potential or actual technological obsolescence. We also focus on managing our inventory to reduce our overall exposure to price erosion. In addition, we seek to introduce new products and services with higher gross margins to offset the potential effect of price erosion on other lines of products. For example, we have recently productized and began marketing a new system which combines full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act with a multi-language capability — we expect this system will have higher margins than a substantial number of existing products we offer. In addition, we expect our offerings of Direct View LED screens to also carry significantly higher margins.
Fluctuations in Revenues and Earnings. Both the sales cycle and the contract fulfillment cycle are dependent on a number of factors from our customers that are not in our control. Accordingly, backlog, the conversion of backlog into revenue and related earnings may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on our customers’ particular requirements, which can sometimes change between the initial signing of a contract and its ultimate fulfillment.
Net sales
The principal factors that have affected or could affect our net sales from period to period are:
● | The condition of the economy in general and of the cinema and/or cinema equipment industry in particular, |
● | Our customers’ adjustments in their order levels, |
● | Seasonality in our business, specifically our second fiscal quarter which is traditionally weaker, |
● | Changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors or suppliers, |
● | The addition or termination of key supplier relationships, |
● | The rate of introduction and acceptance by our customers of new products and services, |
● | Our ability to compete effectively with our current and future competitors, |
● | Our ability to enter into and renew key relationships with our customers and vendors, |
● | Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, |
● | A major disruption of our information technology infrastructure, |
● | Unforeseen catastrophic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflict, terrorism, fires, typhoons and earthquakes, |
● | A lack of entertainment content caused by entertainment content provider labor disputes, strikes and work shutdowns, and |
● | Any other disruptions, such as labor shortages, unplanned maintenance or other manufacturing problems. |
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of products or components that we purchase from third party manufacturers plus assembly and packaging labor costs for these third parties or in-house designed products. Cost of goods sold is also affected by inventory obsolescence if our inventory management is not effective or efficient. We mitigate the risk of inventory obsolescence by stocking relatively small amounts of inventory at any given time, except for periodic strategic purchases, and relying instead on a strategy of manufacturing or acquiring products based on orders placed by our customers.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses relate primarily to compensation and associated expenses for personnel in general management, information technology, human resources, procurement, planning and finance, as well as outside legal, investor relations, accounting, consulting and other operating expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses relate primarily to salary and other compensation and associated expenses for internal sales and customer relations personnel, advertising, outbound shipping and freight costs, tradeshows, royalties under a brand license, and selling commissions.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist of compensation and associated costs of employees engaged in research and development projects, as well as materials and equipment used for these projects, and third-party compensation for research and development services. We do not engage in any long-term research and development contracts, and all research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the past several years, we have primarily met our working capital and capital resource needs from our operating cash flows and financing activities. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash and operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our operations and to meet our projected capital needs for a period of at least 12 months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. On July 7, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $12.360 million. Cash balance at September 30, 2023 was approximately $6.408 million, as compared to $6.616 million at June 30, 2023.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $(0.207) million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to $(0.735) million in working capital declines offset by the $0.439 million in net income and $0.090 million in other non-cash expenses. The net change in other working capital was primarily due to increases in receivables, inventory and payables and decreases in customer deposits, offset by decreases in prepaid and accrued expenses. The net cash used in operating activities was $(0.020) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to net loss of $(0.095) million offset by net changes in working capital items of $(0.398) million. The net change in working capital was primarily due to increases in inventory and customer deposits offset by lower payables and other items.
26
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $(0.001) million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, for equipment purchases. Net cash used in investing activities was $(0.026) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the net result of marketable securities purchases and sales.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective at September 30, 2023 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Prior to the completion of our IPO, we had been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we determined that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our financial reporting processes relating to (i) the design and operation of our closing and financial reporting process, (ii) the fact that we had no formal or documented accounting policies or procedures, (iii) the fact that certain segregation of duties issues existed and (iv) the fact that there was no formal review process around journal entries recorded. To improve internal controls, and starting with the three months ended March 31, 2023 and continuing since, Management updates month end close checklists, has implemented more segregation of duties among its limited accounting staff and the CFO formally approves month end journal entries.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
