Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The Company believes the footnotes and other disclosures made in the financial statements are adequate for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The financial statements include all adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to make the information presented not misleading. You should read these financial statements and the accompanying notes in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 31, 2023.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Company noted that certain revenue contracts and other items were improperly accounted for during three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022. Specifically, the Company (a) did not appropriately (i) recognize revenue on its multiyear term licenses; (ii) recognize revenue related to guaranteed minimums and overages for software as a service (“SaaS”) product sales; (iii) cut off revenue related to term license sales; (iv) capitalize certain commissions paid to the HooYu Ltd (“HooYu”) sales team subsequent to the acquisition of HooYu in March 2022; (v) recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset related to the office lease assumed in the HooYu acquisition; and (vi) recognize certain liabilities upon the acquisition of HooYu that were not valid liabilities; and (b) misclassified certain employee costs related to cloud operations as research and development expense instead of cost of revenue. Refer to Note 13. Restatement of Previously Reported Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Results for the six months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, deferred taxes, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could
differ materially from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, estimation of the value of stock-based compensation awards, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, impairment of goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of debt derivatives, standalone selling price related to revenue recognition, contingent consideration, and income taxes.
Reclassifications
A reclassification has been made to the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation. Accrued interest payable and income tax payables were included in the other current liabilities line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, however, they have been presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 so that the total of the other current liabilities line is less than five percent of total current liabilities.
Net Income Per Share

Other Borrowings
The Company has certain loan agreements with Spanish government agencies which were assumed when the Company acquired ICAR Vision Systems, S.L. ("ICAR") in 2017. These agreements have repayment periods of five to twelve years and bear no interest. As of March 31, 2023, $1.3 million was outstanding under these agreements and $0.1 million and $1.2 million is recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022, $1.3 million was outstanding under these agreements and approximately $0.1 million and $1.2 million is recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements in the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Change in Significant Accounting Policy
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on July 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these accounting policies through March 31, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference
Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (collectively, Topic 848). Topic 848 provides optional guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The Company will adopt Topic 848 when the relevant contracts are modified upon transition to alternative reference rates. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 848 will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the three months ended March 31, 2023 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
