Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2025, included prepayments from customers for services, including extended warranties, scheduled to be performed in the next twelve months. Deferred extended warranty revenue consisted of warranties purchased in excess of the Company’s standard warranty. Extended warranties typically range from one to two years.

Payroll and related

Accrued payroll and related obligations consisted primarily of accrued bonus, accrued vacation, accrued sales commissions and benefits.

Accrued contract costs

Accrued contract costs consist of accrued expenses for contracting a third-party service provider to fulfill repair and maintenance obligations required under a contract with a foreign military for units sold in the year ended September 30, 2011. Payments to the service provider will be made annually upon completion of each year of service. The Company is contractually obligated to provide such repair and maintenance services through November 2027.

The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period and adjusts the accrued warranty liability to an amount equal to estimated warranty expense for products currently under warranty.

Asset purchase holdback liability

In connection with the Evertel acquisition, the Company recorded a holdback liability related to potential future adjustments to assets and liabilities, misrepresentations and indemnifications against third-party claims. The holdback was paid to the seller of Evertel on October 4, 2024.
