NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

DECEMBER 31, 2021

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

Nature of Business:

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

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

Our results for fiscal 2021 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2022 reflected the increase in customer demand after the challenging business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company believes this recovery will continue, there can be no assurances that it will do so in the event of a return to building and construction restrictions that might result from a return to higher levels of COVID-19 cases.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

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

Stock Split

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

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical estimates

8

Table of Contents

include management’s judgments associated with reserves for sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, valuation of intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were: Current Assets and Current Liabilities - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits, current receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 due to their short-term maturities. Long-term debt and lease liabilities reflect fair value based on prevailing market rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $63,000 of short-term time deposits at both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC and other international agencies as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company has not historically experienced any credit losses with balances in excess of FDIC limits.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities include investments in mutual funds, which invest primarily in various government and corporate obligations, stocks and money market funds. The Company’s marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized and realized gains and losses included in other expense (income). Realized gains or losses on mutual funds are determined on a specific identification basis. The Company would record an impairment charge if 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 three and six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not record an impairment charge regarding its investment in marketable securities because management believes, based on its evaluation of the circumstances, that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Company’s marketable securities is temporary.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $226,000 as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Our reserves for doubtful accounts are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of our accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

Inventories

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

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated realizable value, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, 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.

9

Table of Contents

There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage.

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

Property, Plant, and Equipment

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

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

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

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

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

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

​

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $98,000 and $107,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $196,000 and $213,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2022-$390,000; 2023 - $361,000; 2024 - $336,000; 2025 - $315,000; and 2026-$297,000. The weighted average remaining amortization period for intangible assets was 16.5 years and 16.9 years at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, 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.

10

Table of Contents

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

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

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

The Company provides limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months. The Company accepts returns for such defective products as well as for other limited circumstances. The Company also provides rebates to customers for meeting specified purchasing targets and other coupons or credits in limited circumstances. The Company establishes reserves for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and measures such variable consideration based on the expected value method using an analysis of historical data. Changes to the estimated variable consideration in subsequent periods are not material.

The Company analyzes sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on the Company’s past history. Estimates for sales returns are based on several factors including actual returns and based on expected return data communicated to it by its customers. Accordingly, the Company believes that its historical returns analysis is an accurate basis for its allowance for sales returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are included in "Selling, General and Administrative" expenses in the consolidated statements of income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $512,000 and $347,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,598,000 and $690,000, respectively

Research and Development Costs

Research and development (“R&D”) 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 R&D expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,978,000 and $1,884,000, respectively. R&D expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $3,909,000 and $3,773,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

Net Income per Share

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

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

​

​

Options to purchase 80,435 and 64,000 shares of common stock were excluded for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 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 period.

The following provides a reconciliation of information used in calculating the per share amounts for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

​

Options to purchase 40,217 and 72,000 shares of common stock were excluded for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 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 period.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

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

Stock-based compensation costs of $1,255,000 and $84,000 were recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs of $1,344,000 and $188,000 were recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined the functional currency of all foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. All foreign operations are considered a direct and integral part or extension of the Company’s operations. The day-to-day operations of all foreign subsidiaries are dependent on the economic environment of the U.S. Dollar. Therefore, no realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation are recorded for the three or six months ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Table of Contents

Comprehensive Income

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s operations did not give rise to material items includable in comprehensive income, which were not already included in net income. Accordingly, the Company’s comprehensive income approximates its net income for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

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

Shipping and Handling Sales and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales ($106,000 and $93,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $212,000 and $199,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively); and classifies the costs associated with these sales in cost of sales ($361,000 and $230,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $694,000 and $451,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively).

Leases

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform (ASC Topic 848)

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

In January 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that makes amendments to the new rules on accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments clarify that for all derivative instruments affected by the changes to interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment, regardless of whether they reference LIBOR or another rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform, an entity may apply certain practical expedients in ASC Topic 848.

Effective for the Company – This guidance can be applied for a limited time through December 31, 2022. The guidance will no longer be available to apply after December 31, 2022.

Impact on consolidated financial statements – The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance on its existing derivative contracts, leases and other arrangements, as well as when to adopt this guidance.

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. All of these products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold primarily to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. Sales to unaffiliated customers are primarily shipped from the United States.

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company included refund liabilities of approximately $4,248,000 and $4,277,000, respectively, in current liabilities. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company included return-related assets of approximately $1,019,000 and $890,000, respectively, in other current assets.

As a percentage of gross sales, returns, rebates and allowances were 13%for both the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a percentage of gross sales, returns, rebates and allowances were 11% for both the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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. Such risks of loss manifest themselves differently, depending on the nature of the concentration, and vary in significance. The Company had one customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 18% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2021 and June 30. 2021, respectively. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10%of net sales during the three months or six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 12% and 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% of net sales during the three or six months ended December 31 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had another customer with an accounts receivable balance that comprised 12% and 19% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Sales to this customer were 10% of net sales during each the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Sales to this customer did not exceed 10% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Sales to this customer were 14% of net sales during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

​

NOTE 4 – 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, and are reported at their fair values. There were no realized or unrealized gains and losses for the three months or six month ended December 31, 2020. The disaggregated net gains and losses on the marketable securities

Table of Contents

recognized within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, are as follows (in thousands):

​

​

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

​

​

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

The following tables summarize the Company’s investments at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively (in thousands):

​

​

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