LRAD Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (U naudited)

1. OPERATIONS

LRAD® Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is engaged in the design, development and commercialization of directed and multidirectional sound technologies, voice broadcast products, and location-based mass messaging solutions for emergency warning and workforce management. The principal markets for the Company’s proprietary sound reproduction technologies, voice broadcast products and mass messaging solutions are in North and South America, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

On January 18, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Genasys Holdings, S.L. and its subsidiaries (“Genasys”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 18, 2018. Genasys is a leading software provider of advanced location-based mass messaging solutions for emergency warning systems and workforce management. See Note 4 for additional information about this transaction.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the accompanying statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 13, 2017. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company has four wholly owned subsidiaries, Genasys Holding, S.L. and Genasys II Spain, S.A.U. and two currently inactive subsidiaries, Genasys America de CV and LRAD International Corporation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of these subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

Reclassifications

Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), which amends Topic 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the increase in restricted cash resulted primarily from restricted cash balances included in the assets acquired in the acquisition of Genasys, as described in Note 4. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, other than the impact discussed above.

6

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Among other things, under the new guidance, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), but will instead record such items as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. Companies will apply this guidance prospectively. Another component of the new guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards, whereby forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures when they occur needs to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of $1.1 million of gross deferred tax assets related to the historical excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation that was not previously included in deferred tax assets and a corresponding increase in the Company’s valuation allowance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which issued new guidance related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The new guidance must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On January 18, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Genasys pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement. Genasys, headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is a leading software provider of advanced, location-based mass messaging solutions for emergency warning systems and workforce management. Genasys has 16 employees based primarily in Spain.

The Company believes the combination of Genasys’ mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities will enable the Company to enhance existing product offerings through integrated mass messaging solutions as well as provide growth opportunities in new markets. Genasys’ operating results were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning January 18, 2018 and include $415,000 in net sales and net operating income of $25,000, through March 31, 2018.

The preliminary acquisition consideration consisted of the following:

Cash paid |  | $ | 2,826,189 |
Acquisition escrow liability |  |  | 185,250 |
Total consideration |  | $ | 3,011,439 |

As of March 31, 2018, the acquisition consideration is subject to change upon finalization of net working capital and other adjustments. Net working capital adjustments will be settled during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from cash on hand. The Company incurred $237,345 in acquisition expenses related to this transaction, through March 31, 2018. These expenses were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations as follows: $151,313 in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, $45,016 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and $41,016 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

Purchase Price Allocation and Other Items

The determination of the purchase price allocation to specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary as of March 31, 2018. The purchase price allocation is subject to change based upon the final determination of fair value estimates of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on the fair value estimates, the purchase price for Genasys has been allocated to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Assets Acquired |  |  |  |
Cash and restricted cash acquired |  | $ | 579,644 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 426,940 |
Fixed assets |  |  | 5,712 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 1,850,000 |
Goodwill |  |  | 2,603,688 |
Other assets |  |  | 54,520 |
Total assets acquired |  |  | 5,520,504 |
Liabilities assumed |  |  |  |
Accounts payable |  |  | 275,653 |
Accrued expenses and other liabilities |  |  | 315,817 |
Severance obligation |  |  | 397,558 |
Debt |  |  | 1,520,037 |
Total liabilities assumed |  |  | 2,509,065 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 3,011,439 |

The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired, and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

|  | Fair Value |  |  | Useful Lives (in years) |
Technology |  | $ | 690,000 |  |  | 7 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 660,000 |  |  | 7 |
Trade name portfolio |  |  | 240,000 |  |  | 5 |
Non-compete agreements |  |  | 260,000 |  |  | 3 |
|  | $ | 1,850,000 |  |  |  |

Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives based upon a number of assumptions including the estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets acquired is 6 years.

The goodwill for Genasys is attributable to combining the mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities with existing LRAD products for enhanced offerings and the skill level of the acquired workforce. The Company will continue to analyze the transaction and refine its calculations, as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Goodwill from the Genasys acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

5. G OODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded intangible assets of $1,850,000 and goodwill of $2,603,687 in connection with the acquisition of Genasys, as described in Note 4.

Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives based upon a number of assumptions including the estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. The Company will assess the impairment of identifiable amortized intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable.

9

The goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Genasys is due to combining the mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities with existing LRAD products for enhanced offerings and the skill level of the acquired workforce. The Company will continue to analyze the transaction and refine its calculations, as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the value of goodwill. Subsequent to the measurement period, the Company will periodically review goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “I ntangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Indefinite-Lived Assets for Impairment”.

The Company’s intangible assets consist of the following:

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.

Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities was determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company did not have any marketable securities in the Level 3 category as of March 31, 2018 or September 30, 2017. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

10. INCOME TAXES

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Subsequently, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118, which allows for the recording of provisional amounts related to U.S. tax reform and subsequent adjustments related to U.S. tax reform during a measurement period not to exceed one year from the enactment date. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets on a provisional basis based on the rates at which they are expected to be realized in the future, which is generally 21%, resulting in a decrease to the Company’s net deferred tax assets of $2,474,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The Company will continue to analyze certain aspects of the Act and refine its calculations as appropriate during the measurement period, which could affect the measurement of these balances.

For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $393,339 reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.1% and an additional discrete tax expense of $2,474,000 due to the remeasurement of its deferred tax assets as a result of tax reform. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $317,243 reflecting an effective tax rate of 38.1%. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017, the decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the decrease in Federal statutory tax rate due to tax reform. The Company continues to maintain a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the Company believes that the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets outweighs the positive evidence.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. If interest or penalties are assessed, the Company would recognize these charges as income tax expense. The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for uncertain tax positions.

1 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Bonus Plan

The Company has incentive bonus plans for fiscal year 2018 designed to motivate its key employees to achieve the Company’s financial objectives. All of the Company’s key employees are entitled to participate in the incentive plans. Target Bonus Amounts (“Target”) vary based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary which range from 25% to 75% of base salary and a bonus payment may be made at three levels, including at 50% of Target, at 100% of Target and at 200% of Target, depending upon the achievement by the Company of specified performance goals. Performance targets include certain fiscal 2018 metrics, including product bookings, net revenues, operating income and operating cash flow. Included in such calculation is the cost of the incentive plan. During the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company accrued $738,543 and $379,080, respectively, for bonuses and related payroll tax expenses in connection with the bonus plans.

Acquisition Escrow Liability

In connection with the acquisition of Genasys the Company recorded an escrow liability of $185,250, as described in Note 4. This liability is based on a working capital target and may be payable to the former shareholders of Genasys. The Company has not completed its final evaluation of this measurement as of March 31, 2018. The Company expects this analysis to be completed by June 30, 2018.

1 3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plans

At March 31, 2018, the Company had two equity incentive plans. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005 Equity Plan”) was terminated with respect to new grants in March 2015, but remains in effect for grants issued prior to that time. The Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Equity Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 6, 2016 and by the Company’s stockholders on March 14, 2017. The 2015 Equity Plan authorizes for issuance as stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards, an aggregate of 5,000,000 new shares of common stock to employees, directors, advisors or consultants. At March 31, 2018, there were options outstanding covering 2,193,502 and 2,279,315 shares of common stock under the 2005 Equity Plan and 2015 Equity Plan, respectively.

Stock Option Activity

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity during the six months ended March 31, 2018:

|  | Number |  |  | Weighted Average |
|  | of Shares |  |  | Exercise Price |
Outstanding October 1, 2017 |  |  | 4,663,502 |  |  | $ | 2.16 |
Granted |  |  | 3,500 |  |  | $ | 2.21 |
Forfeited/expired |  |  | (83,333 | ) |  | $ | 2.84 |
Exercised |  |  | (110,852 | ) |  | $ | 1.68 |
Outstanding March 31, 2018 |  |  | 4,472,817 |  |  | $ | 2.15 |
Exercisable March 31, 2018 |  |  | 3,298,533 |  |  | $ | 2.23 |

Options outstanding are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.93 to $3.17 and expire over the period from 2018 to 2024 with an average life of 3.0 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2018 was $1,242,236 and $990,806, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred non-cash share-based compensation expense of $307,324 resulting from the modification of stock options in accordance with a Separation Agreement and General Release related to the June 30, 2016 departure of the Company’s prior chief executive officer (“CEO”). As per the agreement, all unvested options became fully vested on December 31, 2016 and shall remain exercisable for a period of 24 months following the December 31, 2016 separation date as defined in the agreement. The expense is measured as the excess of the fair value of the modified awards over the fair value of the original awards immediately before its terms are modified as per ASC 718-20-35.

Performance-Based Stock Options

On August 1, 2016, the Company awarded a performance-based stock option (PVO) to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a key executive, with a contractual term of seven years. Vesting is based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria for each of fiscal 2019 and 2020 (375,000 shares for each year) including minimum free cash flow margin and net revenue targets at four different target levels for each of the years. Additionally, vesting is subject to the executive being employed by the Company at the time the Company achieves such financial targets.

The Company has made the assumption that the lowest performance target level for each of the years will be met, and therefore 187,500 shares of the PVO are assumed to vest. The weighted average grant date fair value for the PVO was $0.81 per share, which was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Non-cash share-based compensation expense related to this award is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The Company will continue to review these targets each quarter and will adjust the expected outcome as needed, recognizing compensation expense cumulatively in such period for the difference in expense.

Restricted Stock Units

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 25,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to each of the Company’s non-employee directors, subject to stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. These RSUs were granted as replacements for 20,000 stock options that would have been granted on the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and vested on the first anniversary of the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was May 17, 2017. As a result of the stockholders approval of the Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on March 14, 2017, the RSUs previously granted were made effective at a market value of $197,500 and were expensed on a straight line basis through the May 17, 2017 vest date.

On March 14, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an additional grant of 25,000 RSUs to each of the Company’s non-employee directors that will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. These were also issued at a market value of $197,500, which will be expensed on a straight line basis through the March 14, 2018 vest date.

On March 20, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an additional grant of 25,000 RSUs to each of the Company’s non-employee directors that will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. These were issued at a market value of $278,750, which will be expensed on a straight line basis through the March 20, 2019 vest date. Also during the quarter, 93,330 RSUs were granted to employees that will vest over three years on the anniversary date of the grant. These were issued at a market value of $210,176, which will be expensed on a straight line basis over the three year life of the grants.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense and classified it in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

|  | Three months ended |  |  | Six months ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Cost of revenues |  | $ | 5,047 |  |  | $ | 5,874 |  |  | $ | 11,256 |  |  | $ | 11,751 |
Selling, general and administrative |  |  | 120,133 |  |  |  | 148,600 |  |  |  | 229,455 |  |  |  | 584,097 |
Research and development |  |  | 20,609 |  |  |  | 22,928 |  |  |  | 43,539 |  |  |  | 46,303 |
Total |  | $ | 145,789 |  |  | $ | 177,402 |  |  | $ | 284,250 |  |  | $ | 642,151 |

The employee stock options granted in the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 had a weighted-average estimated fair value of $0.89 per share and $0.71 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (annualized percentages):

|  | Six months ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Volatility |  | 45.4% |  |  | 47.5% | - | 53.7% |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 2.2% |  |  | 1.7% | - | 2.0% |
Forfeiture rate |  | 10.0% |  |  |  | 10.0% |  |
Dividend yield |  | 0.0% |  |  |  | 0.0% |  |
Expected life in years |  | 4.6 |  |  | 3.8 | - | 4.6 |

The Company did not declare a dividend for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The expected life is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed.

As of March 31, 2018, there was approximately $900,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based employee compensation arrangements. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Overview

Our Company is a leading innovator and manufacturer of acoustic communication systems that control sound from 30° - 360° over short and long distances. By broadcasting audible voice messages and tones with exceptional clarity and only where needed, we offer novel sound applications that conventional bullhorns, loudspeakers, and public address and emergency warning systems cannot achieve. We have developed two LRAD® product lines using our proprietary technologies:

| • | Acoustic Hailing Devices (“AHDs”), which project audible broadcasts with exceptional intelligibility in a 30° beam from close range out to 5,500 meters, and;

| • | ONE VOICE® Mass Notification Systems(“MN systems”), which project 60° - 360° audible broadcasts with industry-leading vocal intelligibility from close range to over 14 square kilometers from a single installation.

LRAD systems are a technological breakthrough in broadcasting audible, highly intelligible voice messages and tones over long distances and high ambient noise using minimal power. Our AHDs meet stringent military requirements and are packaged in several form factors, from portable, hand held units to permanently installed, remotely operated systems. Through the use of powerful voice commands, prerecorded messages in multiple languages, and warning tones, our AHDs are designed to create large safety zones while determining the intent and influencing the behavior of security threats. We continue to enhance our acoustic communication technologies and product lines to provide a complete range of systems and accessories, including our recently patented XL driver technology, which generates higher audio output in a smaller and lighter form factor, is being incorporated into our AHD and ONE VOICE products.

Building on the success of our AHDs, we launched our multidirectional product line. Unlike most siren-based mass notification systems on the market, our ONE VOICE systems broadcast both emergency warning sirens and highly intelligible voice messages with uniform 60° - 360° coverage over local and wide areas. We believe our ability to shape the broadcast coverage area, our industry-leading speech intelligibility, and our multiple system activation and control options, make us more competitive in the large and growing mass notification market.

Our products are designed to meet a broad range of diverse applications including emergency warning and mass notification, fixed and mobile military deployments, maritime, critical infrastructure, perimeter, commercial, border, and homeland security, law enforcement, emergency responder and fire rescue communications, asset protection, and wildlife preservation and control. By selling our industry-leading AHDs and advanced ONE VOICE MN systems into over 70 countries, we have created a new worldwide market and a recognized global brand. We continue to develop new acoustic innovations and believe we have established a significant competitive advantage in our principal markets.

Business developments in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018:

| ● | Received $895,000 in follow-on AHD orders for public safety in the Asia Pacific region.

| ● | Announced over $1.0 million in AHD orders for defense, public safety, and off-shore security from Southeast Asia.

| ● | Acquired Genasys Holding S.L., a location-based mass messaging and mobile alert solutions provider for emergency warning and workforce management.

On January 18, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Genasys Holdings, S.L. and its subsidiaries (“Genasys”) for approximately $3.0 million (€2.4 million) paid or payable in cash and the assumption of approximately $1.5 million (€1.2 million) of debt. Genasys, headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is a leading software provider of advanced, location-based mass messaging solutions for emergency warning systems and workforce management. Genasys had sales of approximately $2.1 million (€1.9 million) for its year ended December 31, 2017 and has approximately 16 employees based primarily in Spain.

The Company believes the combination of Genasys’ mass messaging solutions and software development capabilities will enable the Company to enhance existing product offerings through integrated mass messaging solutions as well as provide growth opportunities in new markets. The results of Genasys’ operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning January 18, 2018.

Revenues in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, were $7.9 million, an increase from $5.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2017. The increase in revenues was driven by a significant increase in AHD revenue and the addition of Genasys in 2018, offset by a decrease in mass notification revenues. AHD revenues increased $3,515,640, or 97%, and Genasys contributed $414,654 in revenue, however, mass notification revenue decreased $1,804,237, or 85%, compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2017. Based on the timing of budget cycles, as well as financial issues and military conflict in certain areas of the world, delays in awarding contracts often occur, resulting in uneven quarterly revenues. Gross profit increased compared to the same quarter in the prior year as a result of higher sales and higher fixed overhead absorption. Operating expenses increased 37.4% from $2.5 million to $3.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the addition of Genasys operating expenses, acquisition related expenses, increased payroll related expenses for additional engineering and sales personnel, higher incentive expense accrual based on the Company’s expectation for meeting current year financial goals, travel and related expenses, and computer related expenses. The second quarter of fiscal 2018 results, reflect a $158,000 income tax expense which is a non-cash charge that reduces the balance of the deferred tax asset. We reported net income of $460,908 for the quarter, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $298,350, or $0.01 per share for the same quarter in the prior year.

Overall Business Outlook

Our product line-up continues to gain worldwide awareness and recognition through media exposure, trade show participations, product demonstrations and word of mouth as a result of positive responses and increased acceptance of our products. We believe we have a solid global brand, technology and product foundation with our AHD and MN systems product lines, which we have expanded over the years to service new markets and customers for greater business growth. We believe that we have strong market opportunities for our directional and multidirectional product offerings within the mass notification, defense, law enforcement, fire rescue, public safety, maritime, homeland security, critical infrastructure security, asset protection, and wildlife control and protection business sectors. We intend to continue expanding our international mass notification business, particularly in the Middle East, Europe and Asia where we believe there are greater market opportunities for our multidirectional products. Our selling network has expanded through the addition of sales consultants as well as continuing to improve and increase our relationships with key integrators and sales representatives within the United States and in a number of worldwide locations. However, we may continue to face challenges in fiscal 2018 due to continuing economic and geopolitical conditions in some international regions. We anticipate that the new U.S. government administration will support U.S. military spending, which we believe could benefit us, although there is uncertainty as to priorities and timing. We continue to pursue large business opportunities, but it is difficult to anticipate how long it will take to close these opportunities, or if they will ever ultimately come to fruition. It is also difficult to determine whether our multidirectional product will be accepted as a viable solution in the mass notification market, which includes a number of large, well-known competitors.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the prior year due to the larger backlog at December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 and the addition of $414,654 of Genasys sales in the 2018 fiscal quarter. Sales improved in the current quarter for the AHD product line (up $3,515,640 or 97%) but were lower for the MN systems product line (down $1,804,237, or 85%) compared to the prior year quarter. The receipt of orders will often be uneven due to the timing of approvals or budgets. At March 31, 2018, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $1,028,497 for prepayments from customers in advance of product shipment and software support agreements.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in the current quarter compared to the prior year was primarily due to the higher level of sales, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing overhead expenses to support the increased sales.

Our products have varying gross margins, so product mix may affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $624,846 over the prior year quarter. This reflects increases of $285,200 from Genasys operations, $169,199 for salaries/benefits/consultants, $130,137 higher professional services (largely acquisition related), $124,835 for information technology related expenses and $102,362 in travel and related expenses. This was offset by a $221,829 decrease in commission expense.

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 of $120,133 and $148,600, respectively.

23

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $308,696 compared to the prior year primarily due to $159,479 for salaries and benefits due to increased engineering staff compared to the prior year quarter and $142,898 for increased product development and product testing.

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $20,609 and $22,928 of non-cash share-based compensation costs, respectively.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, and the timing and extent of the use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we expect to continue to expand our product line in 2018 with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we may expend additional resources on research and development in the current year compared to the prior year.

Net Income

The $162,558 increase in net income in the fiscal year 2018 second quarter was primarily due to the higher gross profits realized from increased sales in the 2018 quarter and a lower effective tax rate in 2018. Non-cash income tax expense of $158,451 and $169,285 was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

24

Revenues increased 79% for the year-to-date period ended March 31, 2018 compared to the prior year, due to the larger backlog at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 and the addition of $414,654 of Genasys sales in the first six months of fiscal 2018. Sales increased in the current year six months for both AHD (up $6,103,098 or 104%) and MN systems (up $295,659, or 10%) product lines compared to the prior year. The receipt of orders will often be uneven due to the timing of approvals or budgets. At March 31, 2018, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $1,028,497 for prepayments from customers in advance of product shipment and software support agreements.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in the six months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to increased sales volume and better product mix, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing overhead expenses, primarily due to increased freight, salaries and benefits, computer related expenses and depreciation expense.

Our products have varying gross margins, so product mix may affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $846,809 in the six months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, however, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 30.4% for the six months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 44.5% in the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to $334,073 for information technology related expenses, $250,170 in higher incentive compensation, acquisition related costs of $196,330, $162,246 in higher travel and related expenses and $285,200 of Genasys expenses for selling and administrative purposes. This was partially offset by $215,144 in lower commissions and a $354,642 decrease in non-cash share-based compensation expense, primarily due to non-recurring expense for separation costs related to the departure of the Company’s prior chief executive officer.

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 of $229,455 and $584,097, respectively.

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $499,322 compared to the prior year, primarily due to $278,494 for salaries and benefits for additional engineers hired since March 31, 2017 and $218,467 for product development and product testing activities.

Included in research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $43,539 and $46,303 of non-cash share-based compensation costs, respectively.

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, and the timing and extent of the use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we expect to continue to expand our product line in 2018 with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we may expend additional resources on research and development in the current year compared to the prior year.

Net Loss

The increase in net loss compared to the prior year was due to income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018, related to a reduction to the deferred tax asset resulting from the change to the U.S. Corporate income tax rates effective for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018. This was partially offset by the larger revenue and gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2018 compared to prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2018 was $12,732,882, compared to $12,764,421 at September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of cash generated from operations offset by cash used to complete the acquisition of Genasys. Other than cash and expected future cash flows from operating activities in subsequent periods, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

25

Principal factors that could affect our liquidity include:

| • | ability to meet sales projections;

| • | government spending levels;

| • | introduction of competing technologies;

| • | product mix and effect on margins;

| • | ability to reduce current inventory levels;

| • | product acceptance in new markets;

| • | value of shares repurchased; and

| • | value of dividends declared.

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

| • | volatility in the capital markets; and

| • | market price and trading volume of our common stock.

Based on our current cash position, and assuming currently planned expenditures and level of operations, we believe we have sufficient capital to fund operations for the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance of the interim financial information. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below:

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |

Investing activities |  |  | (2,337,170 | ) |  |  | 39,534 |
Financing activities |  |  | (165,280 | ) |  |  | - |

Operating Activities

Net loss of $1,222,344 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was decreased by $3,443,194 of non-cash items that included a reduction to deferred income taxes primarily resulting from enactment of the “Act”, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, warranty provision, and inventory obsolescence. Cash provided by operating activities in the current year reflected an increase in accounts payable of $502,933 due to the timing of payments, decreases in prepaid expenses and other of $174,589, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $389,434. Cash used in operating activities included an increase in inventory of $271,543, an increase in other assets of $60,614, and a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $56,313.

Net loss of $514,329 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was decreased by $317,625 of non-cash items that included deferred income taxes, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, warranty provision, and inventory obsolescence. Cash provided by operating activities in the current year reflected an increase in accounts payable of $707,549 due to the timing of payments, an increase in accrued and other liabilities of $521,375 primarily for accrued bonuses and commissions, a decrease in accounts receivable of $168,183, and a decrease in other assets of $133,188. Cash used in operating activities included an increase in inventory of $174,720 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other of $101,304.

We had accounts receivable of $5,718,396 at March 31, 2018, compared to $5,681,882 at September 30, 2017. The level of trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 represented approximately 65 days of revenues compared to 70 days of revenues at September 30, 2017 due to the timing of shipments and related collections in this quarter compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017. Terms with individual customers vary greatly. We typically require thirty-day terms from our customers if credit is approved. Our receivables can vary dramatically due to overall sales volume, quarterly variations in sales, timing of shipments to and receipts from large customers, payment terms, and the timing of contract payments.

At March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, our working capital was $22,966,199 and $25,412,106 respectively. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the purchase price paid and debt assumed in the acquisition of Genasys.

26

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was $2,337,170 for the six months ended March 31, 2018, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $39,534 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The 2018 amount includes $2,246,545 for the acquisition of Genasys. See the Overview section in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information regarding the Genasys acquisition. We also use cash for the purchase of tooling and computer equipment and software. Cash used in investing activities for tooling, computer equipment and software was $90,135 and $57,473 for the six months ended March 31,2018 and 2017, respectively. In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we increased our holdings of short and long-term marketable securities by $490, compared to sales of $101,293 in the six months ended March 31, 2017. We anticipate some additional expenditures for tooling and equipment during the balance of fiscal year 2018.

Financing Activities

In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we used $165,615 for financing activities, compared to no cash used, nor proceeds from, financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The first six months of 2018 included net payments of $414,477 to pay down debt assumed in the Genasys acquisition. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $185,718 and zero for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total debt at March 31, 2018 was $1,165,548.

The Board of Directors approved a share buyback program in 2013 under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $4 million of its outstanding common shares. There were no shares repurchased during the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2018, all repurchased shares were retired. In December 2017, the Board of Directors extended the program through December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, $3.9 million is available for share repurchase under this program.

Item 3. | Qua ntitative and Qua litative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal. The transactions of our Spanish subsidiary are denominated primarily in Euros, which is a natural hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. All other sales to customers and all arrangements with third-party manufacturers, with one exception, provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect our business in the future.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

The Company has not filed an amendment of the Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed on January 22, 2018 reporting the acquisition of Genasys. The Company has been unable to file the financial statements required thereby because Genasys’ historical financial statements have not been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards, nor U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, nor were they audited in accordance with U.S auditing standards as required by SEC regulations. Accordingly, the Company is not deemed a timely filer. An audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing practices will be conducted and the Company intends to file the required amended Current Report on Form 8-K to include the required pre-acquisition financial statement of Genasys as well as the required pro forma financial information.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors.
