EMERSON RADIO CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emerson Radio Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Emerson” or the “Company”). The Company designs, sources, imports and markets certain houseware and consumer electronic products, and licenses the Company’s trademarks for a variety of products.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2021 and the results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2021.

The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending March 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”).

Whenever necessary, reclassifications are made to conform the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to the current year’s presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Issued December 2019)

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This standard is required to take effect in the Company’s first quarter (June 2021) of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the Company operates.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (Issued June 2016)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” to introduce new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. ASU 2016-13 requires among other things, the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim period beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Revenue recognition: Sales to customers and related cost of sales are primarily recognized at the point in time when control of goods transfers to the customer. Under the Direct Import Program, title passes in the country of origin. Under the Domestic Program, title passes primarily at the time of shipment. Estimates for future expected returns are based upon historical return rates and netted against revenues.

7

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Revenue is recorded net of customer discounts, promotional allowances, volume rebates and similar charges. When the Company offers the right to return product, historical experience is utilized to establish a liability for the estimate of expected returns. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers for remittance to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.

Management must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. Management analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand for the Company’s products when evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for sales returns. Management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales return reserves in any accounting period. Additional reserves may be required if actual sales returns increase above the historical return rates. Conversely, the sales return reserve could be decreased if the actual return rates are less than the historical return rates, which were used to establish the reserve.

If additional marketing support programs, promotions and other volume-based incentives are required to promote the Company’s products subsequent to the initial sale, then additional reserves may be required and are accrued for when such support is offered.

The Company offers limited warranties for its consumer electronics, comparable to those offered to consumers by the Company’s competitors in the United States. Such warranties typically consist of a one year period for microwaves and a 90 day period for audio products, under which the Company pays for labor and parts, or offers a new or similar unit in exchange for a non-performing unit.

NOTE 3 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Outstanding capital stock at June 30, 2021 consisted of common stock and Series A preferred stock. The Series A preferred stock is non-voting, has no dividend preferences and has not been convertible since March 31, 2002; however, it retains a liquidation preference.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had no options, warrants or other potentially dilutive securities outstanding.            

 

 

NOTE 4 — INVENTORY

Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2021, the Company had $12.2 million of U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards. These losses do not expire but are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income in any one year. At June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $15.3 million of U.S. state NOL carry forwards. The tax benefits related to these state NOL carry forwards and future deductible temporary differences are recorded to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. The

8

 

income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes was $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to income before taxes of $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.       

The Company analyzed the future reasonability of recognizing its deferred tax assets at June 30, 2021. As a result, the Company concluded that a 100% valuation allowance of approximately $3,800,000 would be recorded against the assets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $11,000 and $6,300, respectively, primarily resulting from state income taxes.       

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s open tax years for examination for U.S. federal tax are 2016-2021, and for U.S. states’ tax are 2015-2021. Based on the outcome of tax examinations or due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed returns may be different from the liabilities that have been recorded for these unrecognized tax benefits. As a result, the Company may be subject to additional tax expense.

As of June 30, 2021 the Company is asserting under ASC 740-30 that all of the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely invested. The Company evaluates this assertion each period based on a number of factors, including the operating plans, budgets, and forecasts for both the Company and its foreign subsidiaries; the long-term and short-term financial requirements in the U.S. and in each foreign jurisdiction; and the tax consequences of any decision to repatriate earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the U.S.

At both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company had a federal tax liability of approximately $2,031,000 related to the repatriation of the Company’s undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company’s short term portion was approximately $195,000 and the long term portion was approximately $1,836,000. The liability is payable over 8 years. The first five installments are each 8% of the liability, the sixth is 15%, the seventh is 20% and the final installment is 25%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has made three of the eight installments.  

 

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, Emerson engages in business transactions with its controlling shareholder, Nimble Holdings Company Limited (“Nimble”), formerly known as The Grande Holdings Limited (“Grande”), and one or more of Nimble’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, or with entities related to the Company’s Chairman of the Board. Set forth below is a summary of such transactions.

Controlling Shareholder

S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grande N.A.K.S.

Accordingly, the Company is a “controlled company” as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide.

Related Party Transactions

  

      Charges of rental and utility fees on office space in Hong Kong

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company was billed approximately $43,000 for rental and utility fees from Vigers Appraisal and Consulting Ltd (“VACL”), which is a company related to the Company’s Chairman of the Board. As of June 30, 2021 the Company owed approximately $800 to VACL related to these charges.  

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company was billed approximately $1,000 for purchases of personal protection equipment from Vigers Strategic Services Ltd (“VSSL”), which is a company related to the Company’s Chairman of the Board. Vigers Strategic Services Ltd was formerly known as Lafe Strategic Services Ltd. As of June 30, 2021 the Company owed $1,000 to VSSL related to these charges.  

 

NOTE 7 — SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

At June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company held short term investments in deposits totaling $24.1 and $25.0 million, respectively. The Company held $1.0 million in deposits which were classified as cash equivalents as of both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

NOTE 8 — CONCENTRATION RISK

Customer Concentration

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Walmart accounted for 44%, Fred Meyer accounted for 24% and Amazon accounted for 14%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 77% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Walmart accounted for 46%, Amazon accounted for 22% and Kroger accounted for 9%.

A significant decline in net sales to any of the Company’s key customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Product Concentration

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s gross product sales were comprised of two product types within two categories — housewares products and audio products, of which microwave ovens generated approximately 39% of the Company’s gross product sales. Audio products generated approximately 60% of the Company’s gross product sales. 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s gross product sales were comprised of the same two product types within two categories — housewares products and audio products, of which microwave ovens generated approximately 38% of the Company’s gross product sales. Audio products generated approximately 58% of the Company’s gross product sales.     

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As a percent of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves, the Company’s top two customers accounted for 73% and 11% as of June 30, 2021, respectively. As a percent of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves, the Company’s top two customers accounted for 69% and 28% as of March 31, 2021, respectively. The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral, and the Company provides for any anticipated credit losses in the financial statements based upon management’s estimates and ongoing reviews of recorded allowances. Due to the high concentration of the Company’s net trade accounts receivables among just two customers, any significant failure by one of these customers to pay the Company the amounts owing against these receivables would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company maintains its cash accounts with major U.S. and foreign financial institutions. The Company’s cash and restricted cash balances on deposit in the U.S. as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per qualifying bank account in accordance with FDIC rules. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances in excess of these FDIC-insured limits were approximately $4.2 million and approximately $5.0 million at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Supplier Concentration

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company procured 100% of its products for resale from its two largest factory suppliers, of which 83% was supplied by its largest supplier. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company procured 100% of its products for resale from its two largest factory suppliers, of which 63% was supplied by its largest supplier.    

NOTE 9 — LEASES

The Company leases office space in the U.S. and in Hong Kong as well as a copier in the U.S. These leases have remaining non-cancellable lease terms of two months to three years. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all leased assets. The Company did not identify any events or conditions during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to indicate that a reassessment or re-measurement of the Company’s existing leases was required. There were also no impairment indicators identified during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that required an impairment test for the Company’s right-of-use assets or other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s current operating and finance lease liabilities were $113,000 and $1,000, respectively and its non-current operating and finance lease liabilities were $57,000 and $2,000, respectively. The Company’s operating and finance lease right-of-use asset balances are presented in non-current assets. The net balance of the Company’s operating and finance lease right-of-use assets as of June 30, 2021 was $153,000 and $3,000, respectively.

 

The components of lease costs, which were included in operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, were as follows:

Furthermore, the situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the potential for a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition increases the longer the COVID-19 pandemic affects activity levels in the United States and globally. For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on its business, results of operations or financial position. The extent of any impact will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, duration of the measures taken to control the spread, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease, and demand for the Company’s products.

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report or the date of the document incorporated by reference into this report. The Company has no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company has expressed its expectations, beliefs and projections in good faith and it believes it has a reasonable basis for them. However, the Company cannot assure the reader that its expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

Net product sales — Net product sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $2.0 million as compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of $0.8 million, or 61.0%. The improvement in net product sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 came from increased consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products, in particular clock radios and microwave ovens as consumers spent more time at home and shopped online, and the Company’s ability to continue to sell products under difficult economic conditions. The Company’s sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were highly concentrated among the Company’s three largest customers – Wal-Mart, Amazon and Fred Meyer – where net product sales comprised approximately 84% of the Company’s total net product sales. The Company’s sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were highly concentrated among the Company’s three largest customers – Wal-Mart, Amazon and Kroger – where net product sales comprised approximately 80% of the Company’s total net product sales.

Net product sales may be periodically impacted by adjustments made to the Company’s sales allowance and marketing support accrual to record unanticipated customer deductions from accounts receivable or to reduce the accrual by any amounts which were accrued in the past but not taken by customers through deductions from accounts receivable within a certain time period. In the aggregate, these adjustments had the effect of increasing net product sales and operating income by approximately nil and $4,000 for

the first quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Net product sales are comprised primarily of the sales of houseware and audio products which bear the Emerson® brand name. The major elements which contributed to the overall increase in net product sales were as follows:

 

i)

Houseware products: Net sales increased $0.3 million, or 54.5%, to $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, driven by an increase in year-over-year sales of microwave ovens.

 

ii)

Audio products: Net sales increased $0.5 million, or 65.6%, to $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting from increased net sales of clock radios.

Business operations — The Company expects to continue to expand its existing distribution channels and to develop and promote new products with retailers in the U.S. The Company is also continuing to invest in products and marketing activities to expand its sales through internet and ecommerce channels. These efforts require investments in appropriate human resources, media marketing and development of products in various categories in addition to the traditional home appliances and audio products on which the Company has historically focused. The Company also is continuing its efforts to identify strategic courses of action related to its licensing activities, including seeking new licensing relationships. The Company has engaged LMCA as an agent to assist in identifying and procuring potential licensees.

Emerson’s success is dependent on its ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer demands and trends in a timely manner, as well as expanding into new markets and sourcing new products that are profitable to the Company. Geo-political factors may also affect the Company’s operations and demand for the Company’s products, which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company expects that current and proposed U.S. tariffs on categories of products that the Company imports from China, and China’s retaliatory tariffs on certain goods imported from the United States, as well as modifications to international trade policy, will continue to affect its product costs going forward. If no mitigation steps are taken, or the mitigation is unsuccessful, the combination of tariffs will result in significantly increased annualized costs to the Company as all of the Company’s products are currently manufactured by suppliers in China. Although the Company is monitoring the trade and political environment and working to mitigate the possible effect of tariffs with its suppliers as well as its customers through pricing and sourcing strategies, the Company cannot be certain how its customers and competitors will react to the actions taken. In addition, heightened tensions between the United States and China over Hong Kong and any resulting retaliatory policies may affect our operations in Hong Kong. At this time the Company is unable to quantify possible effects on its costs arising from the new tariffs, which are expected to increase the Company’s inventory costs and associated costs of sales as tariffs are incurred, and some costs may be passed through to the Company’s customers as product price increases in the future. However, if the Company is unable to successfully pass through the additional costs or otherwise mitigate the effects of these tariffs, or if the higher prices reduce demand for the Company’s products, it will have a negative effect on the Company’s product sales and gross margins.

Starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges and impacted the Company’s business and operating results, and the operations and production capabilities of the Company’s suppliers in China and the distribution capabilities of the Company’s third party logistics provider, including as a result of quarantine or closure. The pandemic has directly and indirectly disrupted certain sales and supply chain activities and affected the Company’s ability to address those challenges. Although the Company has since experienced increased demand in certain of its product categories and favorable impacts on its online channels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects that the pandemic will continue to impact its business and operations over the coming quarters, including with respect to the magnitude and timing of orders by retailers, resellers, distributors and consumers. Additionally, surges in demand and shifts in shopping patterns related to the COVID-19 pandemic have strained the global freight network and availability of shipping containers, which has been further exacerbated by COVID-19 outbreaks and protocols at many port locations, resulting in carrier-imposed capacity restrictions, carrier delays and longer lead times, including shipment receiving and unloading backlogs at many U.S. ports. As a result, the Company’s shipping costs have recently increased by several multiples compared to fiscal 2021 averages. Global component shortages, in particular semiconductor chips, arising from these changes in consumer demand and reduced manufacturing capacity related to the COVID-19 pandemic have also caused and are likely to continue to result in significant price fluctuations and long lead times in the supply of these components. Although the Company is seeking alternate suppliers for these components, developing alternate sources of supply will be time consuming, difficult and costly, and may require the re-tooling of products to accommodate components from different suppliers. In addition to increasing cost trends, the Company’s suppliers are not equipped to hold meaningful amounts of inventory and if shipping container capacity remains limited or unavailable, they could pause manufacturing, which could ultimately impact the Company’s ability to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis. These impacts on the Company’s supply chain have and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to meet product demand, which could result in additional costs, customer dissatisfaction in the event of inventory shortages or may otherwise adversely impact the Company’s business and results of operations.

In light of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic conditions domestically and internationally, along with the uncertainty associated with a potential recovery, the Company has implemented certain cost-reduction actions intended to reduce expenditures in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to the business. However, the environment remains highly uncertain and demand for the Company’s products remains difficult to assess due to many factors including the pace of economic recovery around the world, the status of various government stimulus programs, competitive intensity and retailer actions to continue carefully managing inventory. As a result, the Company is unable at this time to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations and financial results, and, depending on the magnitude and duration of the pandemic, including the further spread and

14

 

severity of COVID-19 cases in areas in which the Company operates and the availability and distribution of effective vaccines, such impact may be material. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends

For more information on risks associated with the Company’s operations, including tariffs, please see the risk factors within Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Licensing revenue — Licensing revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $65,000 as compared to $60,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of $5,000, or 8.3%. The year-over-year increase can be attributed to the escalation in the annual minimum royalty earned by the Company from its licensee.

Net revenues — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net revenues were $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of $0.8 million, or 58.6%,

Cost of sales — In absolute terms, cost of sales increased $0.6 million, or 58.1%, to $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in absolute terms for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily related to increased net product sales and higher year-over-year gross cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales.

The Company purchases the products it sells from a limited number of factory suppliers. For both first quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, the Company purchased 100% of its goods from its two largest suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) — S,G&A, in absolute terms, was $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $1.5 million in fiscal 2021, a decrease of $0.1 million or 7.7%. S,G&A, as a percentage of net revenues, was 66.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to 114.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in S,G&A was primarily attributed to a decrease in legal fees of approximately $130,000. Legal fees for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $273,000 as compared to $403,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The majority of the decrease in legal fees concerned the protection of the Emerson® trademark.

Interest income, net — Interest income, net, was $17,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $82,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, a decrease of $65,000. The decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates earned on the Company’s short term investments.

Provision for income taxes — In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $11,000 as compared to income tax expense of $6,300 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. See “Note 5 – Income Taxes”.

Although the Company generated net losses during fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, it was unable to realize an income tax benefit due to valuation allowances recorded against its deferred tax assets.

Net (loss) — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company realized a net loss of $915,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to a net loss of $1,125,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.4 million as compared to approximately $5.2 million at March 31, 2021. Working capital decreased to $31.2 million at June 30, 2021 as compared to $32.1 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.8 million was due to the net loss generated during the period of $0.9 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, an increase in prepaid purchases of $0.4 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $0.1 million partially offset by a decrease in short term investments of $1.0 million.

Cash Flows

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, resulting from a $0.9 million net loss generated during the period, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, an increase in prepaid purchases of $0.4 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $0.1 million

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to a decrease in short term deposits.

Net cash provided by financing activities was nil for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

15

 

Sources and Uses of Funds

The Company’s principal existing sources of cash are generated from operations and its existing short-term investments. The Company believes that its existing cash balance and sources of cash will be sufficient to support existing operations over the next 12 months.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In April and May of 2020, the Company applied for and received aggregate loan proceeds of approximately $0.2 million under the PPP. The PPP loan accrues interest at 1% and matures two years from the date of issuance, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company used all of the PPP loan proceeds for qualifying expenses in accordance with terms of the CARES Act and applied for forgiveness of the loan to the extent applicable. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under the rules of the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Issued December 2019)

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This standard is required to take effect in the Company’s first quarter (June 2021) of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following ASUs were issued by the FASB which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the Company operates.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (Issued June 2016)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” to introduce new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. ASU 2016-13 requires among other things, the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

16

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2021, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
