BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization: Moving iMage Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise, the (“Company”) was incorporated in June 2020. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Technologies, LLC (“MiT LLC”) and MiT LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Acquisition Co., (DBA “Caddy Products”), designs, integrates, installs and distributes proprietary and custom designed equipment as well as off the shelf cinema products needed for contemporary cinema requirements. The Company also offers single source solutions for cinema design, procurement, installation and service to the creative and production communities for screening, digital intermediate and other critical viewing rooms. Additionally, the Company offers a wide range of technical, design and consulting services such as custom engineering, systems design, integration and installation, and digital technology, as well as software solutions for operations enhancement and theatre management. The Company also provides turnkey furniture, fixture and equipment services to commercial cinema exhibitors for new construction and remodels including design, consulting, installation and project management as well as procurement of seats, lighting, acoustical treatments, screens, projection and sound.

Moving iMage Acquisition Co. (DBA “Caddy Products”) designs, develops and manufactures innovative products for the entertainment, cinema, grocery, worship, restaurant, sports and restroom industries.

Share Exchange: In June 2020, MiT LLC members created Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (“MiT Inc.”) to facilitate the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Upon formation of MiT Inc., 2,000,000 shares of MiT Inc. common stock were issued to members of MiT LLC. On July 7, 2021, MiT LLC and MiT Inc. entered into an exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) whereby the members of MiT LLC exchanged their membership interest for 2,350,000 shares of common stock in MiT Inc. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the members of MiT LLC owned approximately 79% or 4,452,334 of the outstanding common stock of MiT Inc. As a result, MiT LLC (the entity where the Company conducts its business) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiT Inc. (the SEC registrant).

The transaction was accounted for as a merger of entities under common ownership in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. This determination was primarily based on the facts that, immediately before and after the transaction: (i) MiT LLC owners owned a substantial majority of the voting rights in the combined company, (ii) MiT LLC designated a majority of the members of the initial board of directors of the combined company, and (iii) MiT LLC’s senior management holds all key positions in the senior management of the combined company. As a result, the historical financial statements of MiT LLC and MiT Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2021 have been retroactively revised to reflect the consolidation of MiT Inc. and MiT LLC. All inter-company transactions and balances between MiT Inc. and MiT LLC have been eliminated.

The consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been retroactively revised to give effect of the change in reporting entity accounting of MiT Inc. and MiT LLC.

Initial Public Offering: On July 12, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 4,830,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $12,360,000 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other expenses of approximately $2,130,000. Upon the completion of its IPO, the Company reclassified deferred IPO related costs of approximately $1,116,000 from other assets to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Company’s IPO, the underwriters received warrants to acquire 241,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.75 per share.

On July 12, 2021, in connection with the IPO, warrants to purchase 139,611 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised on a cashless basis.

In April 2022, underwriter warrants were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 192,120 shares of common stock.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world and the movie exhibition industry. The social and economic effects have been widespread. At various points during the pandemic, authorities around the world imposed measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19, including stay-at-home orders and restrictions on large public gatherings, which caused movie theaters in countries around the world to temporarily close. The repercussions of the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in a significant impact to our customers, specifically those in the entertainment and cinema industries. As a result, the Company implemented various cash preservation strategies, including, but not limited to, temporary personnel and salary reductions, halting non-essential operating and capital expenditures, and negotiating modified timing and/or abatement of contractual payments with landlords and other major suppliers.

Throughout 2020 and 2021 the theatres reopened as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would allow. As of June 30, 2022, a large majority of domestic and international theatres were open. The industry’s recovery to historical levels of new film content, both in terms of the number of new films and box office performance, is still underway, as the industry also continues to adjust to evolving theatrical release windows, competition from streaming and other delivery platforms, supply chain delays, inflationary pressures, labor shortages, wage rate pressures and other economic factors.

Based on the Company’s current estimates of recovery, it believes it has, and will generate, sufficient cash to sustain operations for a period of 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MiT Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Technologies, LLC (“MiT LLC”), and MiT LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Moving iMage Acquisition Co., (DBA Caddy Products). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation: The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Segment Reporting: An operating segment, in part, is a component of an enterprise whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Operating segments may be aggregated only to a limited extent. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company has determined that it has a single operating and reportable segment.

Measurement of Fair Values: The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data to the extent such information is available. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured - In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. There were no impairments recognized for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Deferred Offering Costs: The Company capitalized certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that were directly associated with its IPO as deferred offering costs (non-current) until such financings were consummated.

As of June 30, 2021, $1,116,000 of deferred offering costs were capitalized in other assets. After completion of the IPO in July 2021, these costs were recorded in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of the proceeds received from the offering.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including sales returns, bad debts, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, purchase price allocation and asset impairments), disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Cash: The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as available-for sale. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net income/loss. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in other comprehensive gain/(loss). The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. The Company’s marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in other income/(expense), net. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less allowance for bad debts. Management determines the allowance for bad debts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days past the customer’s granted terms. The Company does not charge interest on past due balances or require collateral on its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for bad debts is approximately $138,000 and $356,000, respectively.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in first-out cost method of accounting. The Company purchases finished goods and materials to assemble kits in quantities that it anticipates will be fully used in the near term. Changes in operating strategy, customer demand, and fluctuations in market values can limit the Company’s ability to effectively utilize all products purchased and can result in finished goods with above-market carrying costs which may cause losses on sales to customers. The Company’s policy is to closely monitor inventory levels, obsolescence and lower market values compared to costs and, when necessary, reduce the carrying amount of its inventory to its net realizable value. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, inventory on hand was comprised primarily of finished goods ready for sale. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the inventory reserve was $434,000 and $475,000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition: The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred at the point of shipment to a customer and when performance conditions are satisfied as per the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods as per the agreement with the customer. We generate all our revenue from agreements with customers. In case there are agreements with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the agreement at the agreement’s inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at agreement inception are combined. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation proportionately based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation and then evaluate how the services are transferred to the customer to determine the timing of revenue recognition.

The Company considers the U.S. GAAP criteria for determining whether to report revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Factors considered include whether the Company is the primary obligor, has risks and rewards of ownership, and bears the risk that a customer may not pay for the products provided or services performed. If there are circumstances where the above criteria are not met, revenues recognized are presented net of cost of goods sold.

Contract assets consist of conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. Accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers where the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date (i.e., unconditional rights to consideration). Other than accounts receivable, there were no other contract assets as of June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Contract liabilities consist of refund and warranty liabilities, as well as deposits received in advance on sales to certain customers. Such deposits are reflected as customer deposits and recognized in revenue when control of the products is transferred or when performance conditions are satisfied per the agreement. The change in contract liabilities (customer deposits and unearned warranty revenue) during the year ended June 30, 2022 included $1,279,000 for revenue recognized that was included in contract liability as of July 1, 2021. The change in contract liabilities (customer deposits and unearned warranty revenue) during the year ended June 30, 2021 included $.690 million for revenue recognized that was included in contract liability as of July 1, 2020. Contract liabilities as of July 1, 2020 were $.854 million.

Cost of goods sold includes cost of inventory sold during the period, net of vendor discounts and allowances, and shipping and handling costs, and sales taxes. Taxes collected from customers are included in Accounts Payable on a net basis (excluded from revenues) until remitted to the government.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred contract acquisition costs consist of sales commissions paid to the sales force and the related employer payroll taxes, collectively “deferred contract acquisition costs”, are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Management has determined that sales commissions paid are an immaterial component of obtaining a customer’s contract and has elected to expense sales commissions when earned.

Software subscription revenue for remote monitoring services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, usually one year. Services revenues are generally recognized over time as the contracts are performed. There were no software revenues during the years ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Returns and Allowances: The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends.

Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold and are recognized as a period expense during the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs of approximately $18,000 in 2022 and $19,000 for 2021 are expensed as incurred within selling and marketing expenses.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in the 2019 Caddy Acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in June, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates. The Company operates as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating goodwill impairment. The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it’s more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial performance of the Company against the planned results used in the last quantitative goodwill impairment test. Additionally, the Company’s fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. Under the quantitative impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit would be compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no impairment exists. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Goodwill is at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unexpected changes in the Company’s forecasted future results and cash flows, or if there is a negative change in the long-term outlook for the business or in other factors such as the discount rate, or if there is a decline in the stock price.

Intangible assets arising from business combinations, such as customer relationships, trade names, and/or intellectual property, are initially recorded at fair value. The Company amortizes these intangible assets over the determined useful life which generally ranges from 11 to 20 years. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. There were no intangible asset impairments recognized for the years ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Business Combinations: The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires commencing on the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The transaction resulted in the transferring of an entity under common control.

Income Taxes: The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Product Warranty: The Company’s digital equipment products are sold under various limited warranty arrangements ranging from one year to three years. Company policy is to establish reserves for estimated product warranty costs in the period when the related revenue is recognized. The Company has the right to return defective products for up to three years, depending on the manufacturers’ individual policies. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has established a warranty reserve of $55,000 and $29,000, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Research and Development: The Company incurs costs to develop new products, as well as improve the appeal and functionality of its existing products. Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Share-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based compensation plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on their balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. On July 1, 2022, the Company expects to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities in the range of approximately $670,000 and no adjustment to the stockholders’ equity. Management does not expect the adoption of the new lease standard to impact its consolidated statement of operations or its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard will be effective beginning July 1, 2022. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with an election to adopt early. The ASU requires only a one-step qualitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates Step 2 of the current two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company will adopt this standard on July 1, 2022. The impact of the new standard will be dependent on the specific facts and circumstances of future impairments, if any.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB with future effective dates are either not applicable or not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
