Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Techpoint, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) was originally incorporated in California in April 2012 and reincorporated in Delaware in July 2017. The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and sells mixed-signal integrated circuits for multiple video applications in the security surveillance and automotive markets. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California.

Basis of Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency gains or losses are recorded as other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which only include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other future annual or interim periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company principally sells its products to distributors who, in turn, sell to original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), contract manufacturers and design houses. The Company accounts for revenue under ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company satisfies its performance obligations and primarily recognizes revenue upon shipment, at which time control of its products is transferred to its customers. The Company applies the following five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Product revenue consists of sales of mixed-signal integrated circuits into the security surveillance and automotive markets. The Company generally requires advance payments from customers and records these advance payments, or contract liabilities, as customer deposits on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. Since the Company’s performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption practical expedient provided in ASC 606 and is therefore not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The Company provides product assurance warranty only and does not offer warranties to be purchased separately. The Company does not offer variable consideration or other significant payment terms and allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on a relative standalone selling price. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to our customers, upon shipment, at which time the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s shipping terms are primarily FOB (free on board) shipping point, whereby legal title, risks and rewards of ownership, and physical possession are transferred to the customer upon shipment. Substantially all of the Company’s customers pay in advance of shipment, and no stock rotation, price protection or return rights are offered.

Use of Management’s Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the condensed consolidated financial statements include inventory valuation, valuation allowance for recorded deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation. These estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. For example, employees at our headquarters located in San Jose, California, are currently subject to a stay-at-home order from the state government. Our offices in Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan have also been impacted by COVID-19 and have been subject to various measures implemented by local governments to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures may adversely impact our employees and operations and the operations of our end-customers (including our significant end-customers), distributors and suppliers, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities. For example, travel restrictions may prohibit our ability to conduct necessary face-to-face meetings with our customers. These measures by government authorities may remain in place for a significant period of time which could adversely affect our sales and marketing activities, product delivery schedule, and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our security surveillance market has been affected by the weakness in our end markets in North and South Americas, the Middle East, and India due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in those markets. In the third quarter of 2020, one of our largest customers significantly reduced orders to us in response to this market weakness. However, the impact to our security surveillance revenue was partially mitigated by revenue in the automotive market due to demand increase associated with the usual seasonal production cycle in the automotive industry in the second half of the year and multiple new design-wins going into production that we obtained from automotive manufacturers in prior quarters.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Management is actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, suppliers, industry, and workforce. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Credit Risk and Concentration of Customer and Supplier

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and trade receivables. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents, and investments are mitigated by banking with, and investing in, creditworthy institutions. The Company generally requires advance payments from customers. The Company also performs credit evaluations of its customers and provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business. The Company has not incurred bad debt write-offs during any of the periods presented.

For each significant customer, or distributor, and significant end-customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue is as follows:

The Company currently relies on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and United Microelectronics Corporation (formerly Fujitsu Electronics America, Inc.) to produce substantially all of its semiconductors. Also, the Company relies on Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation to assemble, package and test substantially all of its products.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

         In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which amends disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by requiring new disclosures, modifying existing requirements, and eliminating others. The amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company has determined that the new standard had no material impact on its disclosures as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost.  It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance in ASU No. 2019-12 is required for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
