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

Nature of Business

Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a diversified manufacturer of security products, encompassing electronic door-locking devices, intrusion and fire alarms and building access control systems. 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.

The Company's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Historically, the end users of the Company's products want to install its products prior to the summer; therefore sales of its 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 is affected by the housing and construction markets.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in the June 30, 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2012 was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

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

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 include management's judgments associated with revenue recognition, reserves for sales returns and allowances, concentration of credit risk, inventories, intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include approximately $460,000 of short-term time deposits at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012. 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 March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of the reserves for doubtful accounts of $220,000 and $200,000 and for returns and other allowances of $1,045,000 and $1,184,000 as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Our reserves for doubtful accounts and for returns and other allowances are subjective critical estimates that have a direct impact on reported net earnings. These reserves are based upon the evaluation of accounts receivable agings, specific exposures, sales levels and historical trends.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or fair market 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 amounts of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials and of those related 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 the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market 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. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

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.

Intangible Assets

Certain intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually at the Company’s fiscal year end of June 30 or more often whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recovered.

The Company’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Marks included intangible assets recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of twenty years (customer relationships) and seven years (non-compete agreement). The Marks USA trade name was deemed to have an indefinite life.

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

	March 31, 2013							June 30, 2012
	Cost		Accumulated amortization			Net book value		Cost		Accumulated amortization			Net book value
Other intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	9,800	$	(5,252	)	$	4,548	$	9,800	$	(4,601	)	$	5,199
Non-compete agreement		340		(225	)		115		340		(188	)		152
Trade name		5,900		--			5,900		5,900		--			5,900
	$	16,040	$	(5,477	)	$	10,563	$	16,040	$	(4,789	)	$	11,251

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $229,000 and $266,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $688,000 and $799,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be as follows: 2013 - $917,000; 2014 - $781,000; 2015 - $667,000; 2016 - $529,000 and 2017 - $441,000. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 15.1 years and 15.8 years at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) there is a fixed and determinable price for the Company's product, (iii) shipment and passage of title occurs, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from merchandise sales are recorded at the time the product is shipped or delivered to the customer pursuant to the terms of the sale. The Company reports its sales levels on a net sales basis, with net sales being computed by deducting from gross sales the amount of actual sales returns and other allowances and the amount of reserves established for anticipated sales returns and other allowances.

Sales Returns and Other Allowances

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 operations and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $124,000 and $388,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $847,000 and $871,000, respectively. The decrease for the three months resulted primarily from the timing of a major tradeshow. Last year this tradeshow occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 while this year the same tradeshow occurred subsequent to March 31, 2013. For the nine months, this decrease was partially offset by increased expenditures on another major tradeshow and media advertising as compared to the same period a year ago.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs incurred by the Company are charged to expense in the year incurred and are included in "Cost of Sales" in the consolidated statements of operations. Company-sponsored research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,187,000 and $1,094,000, respectively. Company-sponsored research and development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $3,842,000 and $3,134,000, respectively. The increases for the three and nine months was due primarily to expenses relating to development of the Company’s iBridge™ tablet computer/touch screen keypad.

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. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. 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.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	Net Income				Weighted Average Shares				Net Income per Share
	2013		2012		2013		2012		2013		2012
Basic EPS	$	111	$	303		19,296		19,096	$	0.01	$	0.02
Effect of Dilutive Securities:
Stock Options		--		--		123		313		--		--
Diluted EPS	$	111	$	303		19,419		19,409	$	0.01	$	0.02

Options to purchase 395,750 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These options were still outstanding at the end of the respective periods.

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	Net (Loss) Income					Weighted Average Shares				Net (Loss) Income per Share
	2013			2012		2013		2012		2013			2012
Basic EPS	$	(188	)	$	445		19,181		19,096	$	(0.01	)	$	0.02
Effect of Dilutive Securities:
Stock Options		--			--		--		157		--			--
Diluted EPS	$	(188	)	$	445		19,181		19,253	$	(0.01	)	$	0.02

Options to purchase 672,740 and 733,880 shares of common stock for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These options were still outstanding at the end of the respective periods.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established two share incentive programs as discussed in Note 8.

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.

There were no stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Stock-based compensation costs of $0 and $8,000 were recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Foreign Currency

All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. The realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translation, as well as related other comprehensive income, were not material for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Comprehensive Income

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 11, and no additional segment data has been presented.

Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs

The Company records the amount billed to customers in net sales ($118,000 and $159,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $367,000 and $434,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively) and classifies the costs associated with these revenues in cost of sales ($266,000 and $267,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $748,000 and $824,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing their indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing further impairment testing. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more-likely-than-not that the asset is impaired, a quantitative test is required. The guidance becomes effective in the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adopting this guidance which is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. This guidance becomes effective in the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is not adopting this guidance early, and it does not expect the guidance to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
