We depend upon a relatively small number of distributordistributors and end-user
customers for a large portion of our revenue, and a decline in sales to these major customers would materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
Some of our integrated circuits are only available from a single source
and in some cases, are no longer being manufactured. From time to time, integrated circuits, and potentially other components used in
our products, will be phased out of production by the manufacturer. When this happens, we attempt to purchase sufficient inventory to
meet our needs until a substitute component can be incorporated into our products. Nonetheless, we may be unable to purchase sufficient
components to meet our demands, or we may incorrectly forecast our demands, and purchase too many or too few components. In addition,
our products use components that have been in the past and may in the future be subject to market shortages and substantial price fluctuations,
whether due to a pandemic or epidemic, the war between Ukraine and Russia, conflict in the Middle East, hostilities in the Red Sea, tensions
between China and Taiwan, increased tariffs and changes in U.S. trade policies or otherwise. For instance, the market is currently experiencing
memory supply shortages, which has led to higher costs and constrained availability of memory components. From time to time, we have been
unable to
meet customer orders because we were unable to purchase necessary components for our products. We do not have long-term supply
arrangements arrangements
with most of our vendors to obtain necessary components, including semiconductor chips, or technology for our products and
instead purchase
components on a purchase order basis. If we are unable to purchase components from these suppliers, our product shipments
could be prevented
or delayed, which could result in a loss of sales. If we are unable to meet existing orders or to enter into new orders
because of a shortage
in components, we will likely lose net revenue, risk losing customers and risk harm to our reputation in the marketplace,
which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business related to government contracts subjects us to additional risks.
We believe that the continued growth of our presence in the drone and defense technology markets will depend, to a certain degree, on the ability of our customers to win government contracts and subcontracts, in particular from the U.S. Department of War. The funding of U.S. government programs is uncertain and dependent on continued congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds based on an annual budgeting process. Many government customers are subject to budgetary constraints and our continued performance under these contracts or subcontracts, or award of additional contracts or subcontracts from these agencies, has in the past and could in the future be impacted by spending reductions, budget cutbacks, or government shutdowns. A significant decline in government expenditures generally, or with respect to programs for which we provide products, could lead to delays in negotiations of contracts or increased costs and could adversely affect our business.
U.S. government contracts generally permit the government to terminate the contract without prior notice, at the government’s convenience. On contracts for which we are a subcontractor or for which we provide our products to the contractor or subcontractor, the U.S. government could terminate the contract for convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance. Also, sales to the U.S. government and its contractors as well as foreign military and government customers, either directly or as a subcontractor to other contractors, often use a competitive bidding process and have unique purchasing and delivery requirements, which often makes the timing of sales to these customers unpredictable.
In addition, maintaining compliance with government regulations, including audit requirements of the U.S. government and our customers that are subject to these requirements, could require us to put in place controls and procedures to monitor compliance with applicable regulations that may be costly or burdensome to implement. Failure to comply with the terms of applicable government contracts or regulations, or an unfavorable audit, could result in the government or our customers ceasing to buy our products and services, a reduction of revenue, fines or civil or criminal liability, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
From time to time, we may transition the manufacturing of certain products
from one contract manufacturer to another. For example, in connection to the recently increased tariffs proposed to be imposed by the
U.S. against China, we continue to transitionhave
transitioned our remainingcontract manufacturing out of China.China for U.S.-bound products. We have and may in the future incur substantial expenses,
expenses, risk material delays or encounter other unexpected issues in connection with this transition or future transitions.
The effect of a pandemic or major public health concern, such as
the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Pandemics or similar outbreaks have had, and may in the future have, an
adverse impact on the economy, our business and the businesses of our suppliers, and our results of operations and financial condition.
For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in industry events, trade shows and business travel being suspended, cancelled and/or significantly
curtailed. If these activities are suspended, cancelled and/or significantly curtailed in the future, whether due to a possible pandemic
and similar outbreak, our sales may be negatively impacted in the future.
The duration and extent of a future pandemics or other similar outbreak’s
effect on our operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted
at this time. The adverse impact of a possible future pandemic or similar outbreak on our business, results of operations and financial
condition may be material.
We have a lengthy sales cycle for many of our products that generally extends
between threesix and 24 months and sometimes longer due to a lengthy customer evaluation and approval process. The length of this process can
can be affected by factors over which we have little or no control, including the customer’s budgetary constraints, timing of the customer’s
customer’s budget cycles, and concerns by the customer about the introduction of new products by us or by our competitors. As a
result, sales cycles
for customer orders vary substantially among different customers. The lengthy sales cycle is one of the factors that
has caused, and may
continue to cause, our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition,
we may incur substantial
expenses and devote significant management effort to develop potential relationships that do not result in agreements
or revenues, which
may prevent us from pursuing other opportunities. Accordingly, excessive delays in sales could be material and adversely
affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
We have in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, strategic
partnerships and joint ventures that we believe would allow us to complement our growth strategy, increase market share in our current
markets and expand into adjacent markets, broaden our technology and intellectual property and strengthen our relationships with distributors,
OEMs and original design manufacturers. For instance, we acquired Maestro, Intrinsyc, the Transition Networks and Net2Edge businesses
of Communication Systems, Inc., Uplogix, Inc. (“Uplogix”), and Netcomm Wireless Pty Ltd (“Netcomm”) in calendar
years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024, respectively. Our previous acquisitions have required, and any future acquisition, partnership,
joint venture
or investment may also require, that we pay significant cash, issue equity and/or incur substantial debt. Acquisitions,
partnerships or
joint ventures may also result in the loss of key personnel and the dilution of existing stockholders to the extent we
are required to
issue equity securities. In addition, acquisitions, partnerships or joint ventures require significant managerial attention,
which may
be diverted from our other operations. These capital, equity and managerial commitments may impair the operation of our business. Furthermore,
Furthermore, acquired businesses may not be effectively integrated, may be unable to maintain key pre-acquisition business relationships,
may not result
in expected synergies, an increase in revenues or earnings or the delivery of new products, may contribute to increased
fixed costs, and
may expose us to unanticipated liabilities. If any of these occur, we may fail to meet our business objectives and our
business, financial
condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
The effect of a pandemic or major public health concern, could result in material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Pandemics or similar outbreaks have had, and may in the future have, an adverse impact on the economy, our business and the businesses of our suppliers, and our results of operations and financial condition. For example, a previous pandemic resulted in industry events, trade shows and business travel being suspended, cancelled and/or significantly curtailed. If these activities are suspended, cancelled and/or significantly curtailed in the future, whether due to a possible pandemic and similar outbreak, our sales may be negatively impacted in the future.
The duration and extent of a future pandemic’s effect on our operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The adverse impact of a possible future pandemic or similar outbreak on our business, results of operations and financial condition may be material.
Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information
systems, we have, from time to time, experienced, and we expect to continue experiencing, threats to our data and systems, including malware,
phishing and computer virus attacks, and it is possible that in the future our safety and security measures will not prevent the systems’
improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber-attacks.
In addition, due to the fast pace and unpredictability of cybersecurity threats, including from emerging technologies, such as advanced
forms of machine learning, AIAI, and quantum computing, long-term implementation plans designed to address cybersecurity risks become obsolete
quickly and, in some cases, it may be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. In addition,
such threats could be introduced as a result of our customers and business partners incorporating the output of an AI tool that includes
a threat, such as introducing malicious code by incorporating AI generated source code. Any unauthorized access, disclosure or other loss
of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence
in our products and services, which could adversely affect our business.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive
data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners,
and personally identifiable information of our employees, on our networks and third-party cloud software providers. If there is unauthorized
access to such information, we may incur significant costs or liabilities and lose customer confidence in us, which would harm our reputation
and results of operations. In addition, we could be subject to liabilityliability, or our reputation could be harmed if technologies integrated
into our products, or our products, fail to prevent cyberattacks, or if our partners or customers fail to safeguard the systems with security
policies that conform to industry best practices. In addition, any cyberattack or security breach that affects a competitor’s products
could lead to the negative perception that our solutions are or could be subject to similar attacks or breaches.
There is also the possibility of federal privacy legislation and increased
enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission under its power to regulate unfair and deceptive trade practices. Markets in the Asia Pacific
region have also recently adopted GDPR-like legislation, including China’s new Personal Information Protection Law. Failure to meet
Privacy and Data Protection Law requirements could result in significant civil penalties (including fines up to 4% of annual worldwide
revenue under the GDPR) as well as criminal penalties. Privacy and data protection law requirements also confer a private right of action
in some countries, including under the GDPR.
In addition, our operations and those of our suppliers are vulnerable to
interruption by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, cybersecurity breaches, IT systems failure, terrorist attacksattacks,
climate change and other events beyond our control, including the effects of climate change.control. A substantial portion of our facilities, including our corporate
headquarters and
other critical business operations, are located near major earthquake faults and, therefore, may be more susceptible
to damage if an earthquake
occurs. We do not carry earthquake insurance for direct earthquake-related losses. If a business interruption
occurs, whether due to a
natural disaster or otherwise, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
The terms of our amendedAmended and restatedRestated creditLoan facilityAgreement may restrict
our financial and operational flexibility and, in certain cases, our ability to operate.
The terms of our amendedFifth Amended and restatedRestated creditLoan facilityand Security Agreement
(the “Amended Loan Agreement”) restrict, among
other things, our ability to incur liens or indebtedness, dispose of assets,
make investments, make certain restricted payments, merge
or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. Further,
we are currently and may in the future be required to
maintain specified financial ratios, including pursuant to a minimum interest coverage
ratio, and to satisfy a minimum liquidity test.
Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond
our control, and there can be no assurance that
we will meet those tests. Pursuant to our amendedAmended creditLoan facility,Agreement, we have pledged substantially
all of our assets to our senior lender,
SVB. In addition, our loanAmended agreementLoan with SVB currentlyAgreement requires us to hold 75% of our US cash balances at
SVB, which may limit our ability
to manage our cash holdings effectively.
RisingFuture concernimposition regarding internationalof tariffs could materially and
adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
The current political landscape has introduced significant uncertainty
with respect to future trade regulations and existing international trade agreements, as shown by the new or increased tariffs imposed
by the U.S. on many countries.
Recent judicial rulings and changes in tariff policies have introduced uncertainty regarding the applicability, scope, and duration of certain U.S. tariffs, and availability of refunds for invalidated tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the availability, timing, and amount of potential refunds, if any, the scope and duration of newly announced tariffs, and the possibility of further additional or modified tariffs or retaliatory actions.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our
control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies. In an effort to combat inflation,
a number of central banks around the world, including the U.S., raisedHigher interest rates and may raise them in the future. Higher interest
rates may hinder the economic growthopportunities in markets where we do business, and has and may continue to have negative impacts on the global
economy. Higheconomy, interest rates mayor lead customers to decrease or delay
spending on products and projects, including on products that we
sell, which may in each case have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, higher interest
rates impact the amount of interest we pay for our debt obligations
and leases and continuecontinued and sustained increases in interest rates
could has in the past and may in the future negatively impact our financing
costs or cash flow.
If we fail to maintain
effective internal controls, we may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, which could adversely
affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
We have previously identified and remediated a material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain effective internal controls, we may conclude that our internal control
over financial reporting is not effective, which could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial
condition accurately and in a timely manner. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our
management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes
and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls.
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2024, during fiscal 2023, management identified a material weakness related to the design and implementation
of information technology general controls related to the Company’s information systems that are relevant to the preparation of
consolidated financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We implemented a number of measures that effectively remediated the previously disclosed
material weakness and concluded as of June 30, 2025 that our internal control over financial report was effective. However, we cannot
provide assurances that a new material weakness will not occur in the future. If we, or our independent registered public accounting firm
identify one or more additional material weaknesses, or, if we are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare
financial statements within required time periods, could be adversely affected, which could subject us to litigation or investigations
requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements
and adversely impact our stock price. Additionally, if any such material weakness is not remediated effectively or in a timely manner,
we could be impacted by a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that was not prevented or detected on a
timely basis, which could have a negative effect on our results of operations and/or the trading price of our securities.

In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued a ruling indicating that importers that paid tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) may be entitled to refunds. We have paid tariffs on certain imported products and materials that were subject to IEEPA-based duties. The nature, timing, and extent of any such refunds remain uncertain.

On July 7, 2026, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the industrial IoT business of Vecima Networks Inc., including its Nero Global Tracking software-as-a-service platform, for aggregate consideration of approximately $11.7 million, excluding working capital adjustments and other customary purchase price adjustments. The acquired business provides GPS-based fleet and asset tracking solutions and serves customers across the fleet, municipal, restoration and industrial asset-tracking markets in North America. We closed the transaction on August 1, 2026. Since the transaction closed after the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2026, we have not recorded any amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of evaluating the acquisition and, therefore, determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including the identification and valuation of acquired intangible assets and any associated goodwill. Additional disclosures required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, will be provided for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 following the completion of the preliminary purchase accounting assessment.
Acquisition
In December 2024, we finalized the acquisition
of Netcomm Wireless Pty Ltd (“Netcomm”), a subsidiary of DZS Inc., for $6,458,000 in cash. Netcomm operated an enterprise
IoT business. The acquisition complements our focus on Enterprise and Smart City vertical markets and adds products to enhance our connectivity
solutions in areas such as critical infrastructure, asset monitoring and telecommunications.
Refer to Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional discussion
regarding the acquisition.
Business Combinations
We allocate the fair value of the purchase consideration of a business
acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”),
if applicable, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. IPR&D is initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with
an indefinite life and assessed for impairment thereafter. When an IPR&D project is completed, the IPR&D is reclassified as an
amortizable purchased intangible asset and amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life. The valuation of acquired assets and
assumed liabilities requires significant judgment and estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets. The valuation of intangible
assets, in particular, requires that we use valuation techniques such as the income approach. The income approach includes the use of
a discounted cash flow model, which includes discounted cash flow scenarios and requires significant estimates such as future expected
revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and other costs, and discount rates. We estimate the fair value based upon assumptions we believe
to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from our estimates.
Estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related expenses and related restructuring costs are recognized separately from the business
combination and are expensed as incurred.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we made a qualitative assessment of whether goodwill impairment existed. Since our assessment of the qualitative factors did not result in a determination that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we were not required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.
Significant management judgment is required in estimating the reporting
unit’s fair value and in the creation of the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method
of valuation. These include (i) estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, (ii) estimation of the long-term
rate of growth of our business, (iii) estimation of the period during which cash flows will be generated and (iv) the determination of
our weighted-average cost of capital, which is a factor in determining the discount rate. Our estimate of the reporting unit’s fair
value would also generally include the consideration of a control premium, which is the amount that a buyer is willing to pay over the
current market price of a company as indicated by the traded price per share (i.e., market capitalization) to acquire a controlling interest.
If our actual financial results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating the fair value of our reporting
unit, we may be exposed to goodwill impairment losses.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2025, using
a quantitative assessment for our single reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a combination of the
income approach (discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline public companies and guideline transactions methods).
Key assumptions included revenue growth, EBITDA margins, a long-term growth rate, and a discount rate. These assumptions reflect management’s
best estimates of future financial performance, current market conditions, and a market participant perspective. The results of the impairment
test indicated that the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount by approximately 9%. No impairment of goodwill was recognized
for the year ended June 30, 2025.
For fiscal 2025,2026, our net revenue decreased by $37,404,000,$2,024,000, or 23.3%,1.6%, compared

We$4,181,000 hadfor fiscal 2026 compared to a net loss of $11,373,000 for fiscal 2025, compared to a net loss of $4,516,000 for fiscal 2024.2025. The increasedecrease in net
loss was primarily
driven by the decrease in revenues partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses of $4,516,000$5,656,000 combined with the increase in gross profit for fiscal 2025 2026
compared to fiscal
2024. 2025.
Net revenue increased primarily due to (i) higher unit sales of our embedded compute products, which includes our drone and aerospace and defense products, in the Americas and EMEA regions, and (ii) higher unit sales of our embedded wired connectivity products across all regions, reflecting continued customer demand for embedded ethernet and compute solutions. These increases were partially offset by lower unit sales of certain legacy products, including our network interface cards and optics, primarily in the Americas and EMEA regions.
Net revenue decreased primarily due to lower unit sales in some of our
legacy embedded ethernet connectivity products across all regions and lower volume sales of our network interface cards in the Americas
and APJ regions. These decreases were largely offset by higher unit sales of our embedded compute product line driven by a video conferencing
customer in the APJ region.
Net revenue decreased primarily due to reduced sales to Gridspertise. We did not recognize any revenue from this customer during fiscal 2026, as compared to just over $11 million of revenue in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in net revenue from this customer was partially offset by (i) increased unit sales of our network switches in the Americas and APJ regions and (ii) higher unit sales of our gateways in the Americas and EMEA regions.
The decrease in net revenue was substantially driven by our custom solution to our European smart energy grid customer. In fiscal 2024,
this customer represented just over 25% of our net revenue. By comparison, in fiscal 2025, we recognized approximately $11 million from
this customer in the first half of the year. Separately, compared to the prior year, we experienced (i) decreased unit sales of our network
switches in the Americas region, and (ii) decreased unit sales of our OOB products across all regions, as revenues from these products
can be dependent on project-based capital spending. These decreases were partially offset by higher unit sales of (i) our gateways, routers,
and modems products, which was largely driven by contributions from our Netcomm acquisition, and (ii) our telematic gateways in the Americas
region.
Net revenue decreasedincreased primarily due to lowerhigher engineeringSaaS solutions in the Americas

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (referred
to as “gross margin”)
increased primarily as a resultbecause of lower overhead costs and our product sales mix. This was primarily driven by the absence of lower-margin revenue from Gridspertise
in fiscal 2026, and also a slightly higher percentage of our current year revenue derived from software and services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to (i) higher personnel-related expenses, mostly variable compensation costs, and (ii) increased share-based compensation costs driven by new stock awards granted during the current fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, particularly legal expenditures, as well as the recovery of certain previously written-off receivables, the benefit of which is included in the “other” category in the table above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due
to (i) reduced share-based compensation costs based on the value of new and outstanding awards, (ii) lower spending on various sales conferences,
IT infrastructure and related facilities costs, and (iii) lower personnel-related expenses resulting from less variable compensation and restructuring activities during the current fiscal year.
Research and development expenses consistsconsist of personnel-related
expenses, expenses,

Our costs from period-to-period related to outside services and product certifications vary depending on our
level and timing of development
activities.
Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to (i) lower
personnel-related expenses in our engineering groupsteam resulting from restructuring activities during the current and prior fiscal year and years,
(ii) reduced
share-based compensation costs based on the value of new and outstanding awards.awards, and (iii) lower facilities-related equipment
and software costs. These decreases were partially offset by (i) higher facilities-related
equipment and software costs, (ii) increased costs for third party contract labor, which are included in the “outside services”
category in the table above, and (iii) increased spending on certainoutside prototypeservices, primarily related to outsourced product
development and materialscontractor costs, which are included in the “other”
category in the table above.costs.
In addition, during fiscal 2025 we downsized the usage of certain sites,
resulting in a charge of approximately $379,000, which is included in the total restructuring charges above.
During fiscal 2026 we incurred approximately $315,000 of acquisition costs. These costs were mainly comprised of legal and other professional fees.
We acquired certain intangible assets through our recentprior acquisitions,
which we recorded at fair-valuefair value as of the acquisition dates. These assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over
their their
estimated useful lives and resulted in charges of $3,951,000$1,561,000 and $5,314,000$3,951,000 during fiscal 20252026 and 2024,2025, respectively.
Interest Expense,Income (expense), Net
For fiscal 20252026 and 2024,2025, we earned interest income on our domestic
cash balances and incurred net interest expense from interest
incurred on borrowings on our credit facilities. We also earn interest on our domestic cash balances.
On May 29, 2026, in an underwritten public offering, we sold approximately 4,800,000 shares of common stock. We received net cash proceeds from the offering of approximately $31,750,000. Refer to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report for additional information.
On May 8, 2026, we entered into a sales agreement with sales agents, with respect to an at-the-market offering program under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock, with an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000,000. During the year ended June 30, 2026, we sold approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock under the sales agreement generating approximately $12,340,000 in net proceeds. As of June 30, 2026, we have approximately $17,000,000 remaining of the aggregate offering capacity and the sales agreement remains in effect.

of non-cash charges, while the changes in operating
assets and liabilities provided net cash of $6,352,000.$4,523,000.
Accounts receivable decreased by $6,187,000, or 19.8%, from June 30, 2024
to June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower net revenue levels in the current fiscal year, as well as the timing of payments
from certain customers.
Accrued payroll and related expenses decreasedincreased by $2,365,000$1,349,000 or 40.5%38.9% from
June 30, 20242025 to June 30, 2025.2026. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to accruedthe accrual of variable compensation paid out duringin the current fiscal year.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 consisted of purchases of equipment totaling $612,000 and $505,000, respectively, primarily for computer hardware and tooling at our contract manufacturers, business analysis tools, and certain research and development equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2025 also includes the acquisition of Netcomm, which used cash of $6,458,000.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2025 consisted primarily
of the acquisition of Netcomm, which used cash of $6,458,000. We also paid for property and equipment totaling $505,000, primarily for
tooling at our contract manufacturers as well as certain research and development projects.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2024 consisted of purchases
of equipment amounting to $1,479,000, primarily for research and development and certain business analysis tools.
Net cash usedprovided inby financing activities during fiscal 20252026 resulted primarily

in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K, except for those risks marked with an asterisk (*) below.
Some of our integrated circuits are only available from a single source
and in some cases, are no longer being manufactured. From time to time, integrated circuits, and potentially other components used in
our products, will be phased out of production by the manufacturer. When this happens, we attempt to purchase sufficient inventory to
meet our needs until a substitute component can be incorporated into our products. Nonetheless, we may be unable to purchase sufficient
components to meet our demands, or we may incorrectly forecast our demands, and purchase too many or too few components. In addition,
our products use components that have been in the past and may in the future be subject to market shortages and substantial price fluctuations,
whether due to a pandemic or epidemic, the war between Ukraine and Russia, conflict in the Middle East, hostilities in the Red Sea, tensions
between China and Taiwan, increased tariffs and changes in U.S. trade policies or otherwise. For instance, the market is currently experiencing
memory supply shortages, which mayhas leadled to higher costs and constrained availability of memory components. From time to time, we have been
been unable to meet customer orders because we were unable to purchase necessary components for our products. We do not have long-term supply
supply arrangements with most of our vendors to obtain necessary components, including semiconductor chips, or technology for our products and
and instead purchase components on a purchase order basis. If we are unable to purchase components from these suppliers, our product shipments
could be prevented or delayed, which could result in a loss of sales. If we are unable to meet existing orders or to enter into new orders
because of a shortage in components, we will likely lose net revenue, risk losing customers and risk harm to our reputation in the marketplace,
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We believe that the continued growth of our presence in the drone and
defense technology markets will depend, to a certain degree, on the ability of our customers to win government contracts and subcontracts,
in particular from the U.S. Department of Defense.War. The funding of U.S. government programs is uncertain and dependent on continued congressional
appropriations and administrative allotment of funds based on an annual budgeting process. Many government customers are subject to budgetary
constraints and our continued performance under these contracts or subcontracts, or award of additional contracts or subcontracts from
these agencies, has in the past and could in the future be impacted by spending reductions, budget cutbacks, or government shutdowns.
A significant decline in government
expenditures generally, or with respect to programs for which we provide products, could lead to delays
in negotiations of contracts or
increased costs and could adversely affect our business.
From time to time, we may transition the manufacturing of certain products
from one contract manufacturer to another. For example, in connection to the increased tariffs imposed by the U.S. against China, we have
transitioned our contract manufacturing out of China for U.S.-bound products. Although all of our contract manufacturers are now located
outside of China, weWe have and may in the future incur substantial expenses,
risk material delays or encounter other unexpected issues
in connection with this transition or future transitions.
We have a lengthy sales cycle for many of our products that generally
extends between threesix and 24 months and sometimes longer due to a lengthy customer evaluation and approval process. The length of this process
process can be affected by factors over which we have little or no control, including the customer’s budgetary constraints, timing
of the
customer’s budget cycles, and concerns by the customer about the introduction of new products by us or by our competitors.
As a
result, sales cycles for customer orders vary substantially among different customers. The lengthy sales cycle is one of the factors that
that has caused, and may continue to cause, our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition,
we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management effort to develop potential relationships that do not result in agreements
or revenues, which may prevent us from pursuing other opportunities. Accordingly, excessive delays in sales could be material and adversely
affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, strategic
partnerships and joint ventures that we believe would allow us to complement our growth strategy, increase market share in our current
markets and expand into adjacent markets, broaden our technology and intellectual property and strengthen our relationships with distributors,
OEMs and original design manufacturers. We acquired Maestro, Intrinsyc, the Transition Networks and Net2Edge businesses of Communication
Systems, Inc., Uplogix, Inc. (“Uplogix”),Inc., and Netcomm Wireless Pty Ltd (“Netcomm”) in calendar years 2019, 2020,
2021, 2022 and 2024, respectively. Our previous
acquisitions have required, and any future acquisition, partnership, joint venture or
investment may also require, that we pay significant
cash, issue equity and/or incur substantial debt. Acquisitions, partnerships or joint
ventures may also result in the loss of key personnel
and the dilution of existing stockholders to the extent we are required to issue
equity securities. In addition, acquisitions, partnerships
or joint ventures require significant managerial attention, which may be diverted
from our other operations. These capital, equity and
managerial commitments may impair the operation of our business. Furthermore, acquired
businesses may not be effectively integrated, may
be unable to maintain key pre-acquisition business relationships, may not result in
expected synergies, an increase in revenues or earnings
or the delivery of new products, may contribute to increased fixed costs, and
may expose us to unanticipated liabilities. If any of these
occur, we may fail to meet our business objectives and our business, financial
condition and operating results could be materially and
adversely affected.
Future imposition of tariffs could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.*
Recent judicial rulings and changes in tariff policies have introduced uncertainty regarding the applicability, scope, and duration of certain U.S. tariffs, and availability of refunds for invalidated tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the availability, timing, and amount of potential refunds, if any, the scope and duration of newly announced tariffs, and the possibility of further additional or modified tariffs or retaliatory actions.

Our principal sources of cash and liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and amounts available under our Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 5 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report), and cash generated from operations. We are subject to a variable amount of interest on the principal balance of our borrowings and could be adversely impacted by rising interest rates in the future.

Recent Developments
In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued a ruling indicating that importers that paid tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) may be entitled to refunds. The Company has paid tariffs on certain imported products and materials that were subject to IEEPA-based duties. The nature, timing, and extent of any such refunds remain uncertain. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recognized any amounts related to the potential recovery of such tariff-related costs.
The accounting policies that have the greatest impact on our financial
condition and results of operations and that require the most judgments are those relating to revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances,

Results of Operations – Three Months
Ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 Compared to the Three Months Ended DecemberMarch 31, 20242025
In the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, our net revenue decreasedincreased
by $1,387,000$1,677,000 or 4.5%,5.9%, compared to the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024.2025. The decreaseincrease in net revenue was driven by a 28.6%21.9% increase in

Net revenue increased primarily due to (i)
higher unit sales of our embedded compute products, which includes our drone and aerospace and defense programs,products, in the Americas and EMEA
regionsregions, and (ii) higher unit sales of our embedded ethernetwired connectivity products across all regions, reflecting continued customer demand
for embedded ethernet and wirelesscompute communicationsolutions. productsThese increases were partially offset by lower unit sales of certain legacy products, including
our network interface cards and optics, primarily in the Americas and APJEMEA regions.
Net revenue decreased mainly due to (i) reduced unit sales in our media converters product family across all regions, (ii) decreased unit sales of our gateways, routers, and modems, particularly in the APJ region, and (iii) decreased unit sales of our telematics gateways in the Americas region, as revenues from these products can be dependent on project-based capital spending and customer deployment schedules. These decreases were partially offset by higher unit sales of our network switches across all regions.
Net revenue decreased primarily due to reduced
sales to Gridspertise. We did not have any shipments to this customer in the current quarter, as compared to approximately $5.8 million
the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease in revenue from this customer was partially offset by (i) increased unit sales of
our network switches in the Americas and APJ regions and (ii) increased unit sales of our routers and modems products across all regions.

to the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024.2025, partially
offset by the decrease in gross profit over the same period.
Net revenue increased primarily due to higher
unit sales of (i) our embedded compute product line in the Americas and EMEA regions,regions and (ii) our legacy embedded ethernet connectivity products
in the Americas and APJ regions, and (iii) our wireless communications products inacross the Americas and APJall regions. This increase was partially
offset by lower unit sales of (i) our network interface cardcards and optics products

just over $11 million of revenue duringin the sixprior-year months ended December 31, 2024.period. The year-over-year decrease in net revenue from this customer
was partially
offset by (i) increased unit sales of our network switches in the Americas and APJ regions and (ii) increasedhigher unit sales
of our telematic gateways
in the Americas, APJAmericas and EMEA regions.
Net revenue increased primarily due to higher
SaaS solutions in the
Americas and EMEA regions.regions, as well as higher design services revenue in the EMEA region. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in our extended warranty services in
the Americas region.
Gross margin increased primarily as a resultbecause of lower overhead costs and
our product sales mix. This was primarily driven by the absence of lower-margin revenue from Gridspertise in the current period, and
also a slightly
higher percentage of our current period revenue derived from software and services.
We currently expect that gross margin will fluctuate
in the future, from period-to-period, based on changes in our product mix, average selling prices, and average manufacturing costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to (i) higher share-based compensation costs, primarily based on the value of new and outstanding awards, (ii) higher personnel-related expenses due to an increase in variable compensation costs, and (iii) increased spending on advertising and marketing activities. These increases were partially offset by (i) lower professional fees and outside services related to legal and accounting activities, and (ii) the recovery of certain previously written-off receivables, the benefit of which is included in the “other” category in the table above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in total remained relatively
consistent year-over-year. In the current year, we saw decreases in (i) legal fees and certain other professional and outside services
costs and (ii) the benefit from recovering certain receivables as described above. These were largely offset by increases in share-based
compensation costs driven by stock award activity in the current fiscal year, and slightly higher headcount and insurance costs.
Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to (i) lower
personnel-related expenses in our engineering
groups resulting from restructuring activities induring the previouscurrent and prior fiscal year, years,
(ii) lower facilities-related equipment and software costs,
and (iii) reduced share-based compensation costs based on stock award activity in the current fiscal year.year, and (iii) lower facilities-related

we incurred $193,000$1,581,000 and $1,093,000,$2,674,000, respectively, of restructuring, severance and related charges.
Acquisition-Related Costs
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred approximately $48,000 and $131,000 of acquisition costs. These costs were mainly comprised of legal and other professional fees.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred approximately $100,000 and $337,000 of costs primarily in connection with the acquisition of Netcomm Wireless Pty Ltd (“Netcomm”). These costs were mainly comprised of banking, legal and other professional fees.
For the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 and DecemberMarch 31, 2025,
2024, we incurred net interest expense duerelated to borrowings on our credit facilities. We also earn interest income on our domestic cash balance.
Our
other income (expense), net, is comprised primarily of foreign
currency remeasurement and transaction adjustments related to our foreign
subsidiaries whose functional currenciescurrency areis the U.S. dollar.
The following table presents details of our working capital and cash
and cash
equivalents balances:
Our principal sources of cash and liquidity include our existing cash
and cash equivalents, borrowings and amounts available under our Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 5 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report), and cash generated from operations. We are subject to a
variable amount of interest on the principal balance of our borrowings and could be adversely impacted by rising interest rates in the
future. We believe that our current cash holdings, net cash provided by operating activities, and expected availability under our Loan
Agreement will be sufficient to fund our material requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other financial commitments
for at least the next 12 months and beyond. We continue to monitor our existing banking relationships and the availability of potential
alternate sources of credit based on market conditions and our ongoing capital requirements. There can be no guarantee that we would be
able to obtain any needed alternate financing on acceptable terms, or at all, or that such a financing would not result in a default under
the Loan Agreement. We anticipate that the primary factors affecting our cash and liquidity are net revenue, working
capital requirementsrequirements, payments of principal and interest on our borrowings, payments to satisfy employees’ tax withholding obligations
for restricted shares, and capital expenditures.
Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the following: timing and amount of our net revenue; our product mix and the resulting gross margins; research and development
expenses; selling, general and administrative expenses; and expenses associated with any strategic partnerships, acquisitions or infrastructure
investments.
