NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies

 

(A) Company Overview

 

FatPipe Inc. (“FatPipe” or the “Company” or “us” or “we” or “our”) is a leading developer of enterprise-class, application-aware, secure software-defined wide area network (“SD-WAN”) solutions for organizations, including enterprises, communication service providers, security service providers, government organizations, and other middle-market companies.

FatPipe sells in geographies around the world, with its largest customer populations located in the United States and South Asia. It plans to continue expanding its presence throughout North America and parts of Southeast Asia.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On April 7, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with D. Boral Capital LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters, in a firm commitment initial public offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 695,656 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial public offering price of $5.75 per share. The Common Stock was offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-280925), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 19, 2024, as amended, and which was declared effective by the Commission on February 12, 2025. A post effective amendment to the registration statement related to the Offering was filed with the Commission on March 11, 2025, and which was declared effective by the Commission on March 17, 2025.

 

On April 9, 2025, the Company closed the Offering and the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 791,024 shares of common stock. The total gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering, which does not include a potential exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, and before deducting discounts and expenses, were approximately $4,500,000. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,700,000 pursuant to the Offering.

 

A final prospectus relating to this Offering was filed with the Commission on April 7, 2025. The Common Stock was previously approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading under the ticker symbol “FATN” on April 8, 2025.

 

(B) Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of FatPipe is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

These estimates are based upon information available through the date of the issuance of the financial statements and actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by the Company include, but are not limited to:

 

  Fair value of long-term debt and notes receivable.
  Recognition of revenue
  Credit loss on trade receivables and contract receivables.
  Valuation of inventory
  Recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets and their related estimated lives; and
  Accruals for estimated liabilities such as property tax accruals and litigation settlement accruals.
  Accruals for income tax and deferred tax.
  Determination of standalone selling price of performance obligations for revenue contracts with multiple performance obligations.

 

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These financial statements include the accounts of FatPipe, Inc. and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, FatPipe Technologies, Inc. and FatPipe Networks Private Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 95.6% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of FatPipe Networks Private Limited (“Limited”) and remaining 4.4% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Limited were owned by certain individual stockholders (collectively, the “Limited non-controlling interests”). In July 2024, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase and sale agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 577,156 shares of common stock in exchange for the Limited non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2025, Limited was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (see Note 3).

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income includes net income as well as other changes in Stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders.

 

Segment Reporting

 

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on an aggregate basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision-maker, or anyone else, for any planning, strategy and key decision-making regarding operations. We have determined that each of our products and services share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating businesses are aggregated into one reportable segment. All of the operating businesses have met the aggregation criteria and have been aggregated and are presented as one reportable segment, as permitted by ASC 280. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Standard Updates (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments, which are codified into Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers., which establishes a broad principle that requires entities to assess the products or services promised in contracts with customers at contract inception to determine the appropriate unit at which to record revenues, which is referred to as a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The new standard supersedes GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the previous standards. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

 

ASC 606 may be applied either retrospectively or through the use of a modified-retrospective method. The full retrospective method requires companies to recast each prior reporting period presented as if the new guidance had always existed. Under the modified retrospective method, companies recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method, the impact of which was not material to the Company.

 

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract was determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company assessed the goods or services promised within each contract and determined those that were performance obligations, and assessed whether each promised good or service was distinct.

 

 

The company recognizes three types of revenues as explained below;

 

Product Revenue is for a network server running FatPipe software with contract term of 36 to 60 months. Each contract has a description of the goods and services to be delivered, the term of the contract, and payment terms. We assess relevant contractual terms in our customer contracts to determine the standalone selling price of each of the performance obligation. We apply judgment in identifying contractual terms and determining the transaction price. The Company’s performance obligations are to transfer control of the software delivered on a network server with customer-specific configurations. In addition, the Company provides technical support which includes implementation, configuration and training services over the term of the contract. Additionally, as per the options for determining standalone selling price in ASC 606-10-32-32 to 32-35, in respect to the contract with multiple performance obligations of delivery of software license and technical support; including implementation into customer networks, configuration of the software, and training services to train the customer on how to use the software, we have selected the cost of technical support personnel, plus a 20% margin for support services, and the balance contract value as the standalone selling price for delivery of product and software license, so that it can be consistently applied for each financial year.

 

The contract’s initial term is non-cancellable and does not have a refund or cancellation provision. The customer enjoys the use of the product and associated service for the Term in exchange for monthly payments or upfront payment made for the term of the contract. The revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the software and network server to the customer or to staging when the customer requests staging and custom configuration of the software and network server. The software license revenue in our product arrangements is recognized at a point-in-time when the software solution has been delivered or ownership has been transferred.

 

The service and support revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. An imputed interest charge is recognized in income using the interest method in respect of the inherent interest arising from the payment terms. The balance sheet account “Contract receivable” represents “Unbilled receivable” in connection with the revenue recognized upfront upon transfer of control of the software and the network server to the customer. The same shall be transferred to Accounts Receivable on a monthly basis over the contract term. Cash is received based on our payment terms which is typically 30-90 days.

 

We provide service/support options for our customers. The first support option is 36 to 60 months paid monthly, or secondly, 12 months paid upfront. For the 36-to-60-month service contracts paid monthly, the service revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. as discussed above and is part of our product offering. The 12-month service option revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the 12-months, and is referred to in the balance sheet as “Deferred Revenue”.

 

Our service offerings complement our products through a range of consulting, we provide a broad range of service and support options to our customers. Consulting agreements are usually of 12 months term with options to extend. We also provide comprehensive advisory services that are focused on responsive, preventive, and consultative support of our technologies for specific networking needs. Total contract term may be up to 5 years. Customers are billed monthly based on the hours expended on customers’ behalf. Revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. Payment terms vary from 30 to 45 days from invoice date based on the customer/partner. In the below table, short term RPO will be recognized over the next 12 months, while long-term RPO will be recognized over the 36-60 month term of the contracts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is presented down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs.

 

Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3 Unobservable pricing inputs that are less observable from objective sources or based upon our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities are approximately fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because the debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar maturities.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

 

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts Receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivables are due from various customers and are shown net of applicable reserves for doubtful accounts as shown on the face of the balance sheet. There were no accounts that had been placed on non-accrual status. The allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated by management based on historical experience, current market trends and, for larger customer accounts, their assessment of the ability of the customers to pay outstanding balances. Past due balances and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. Changes in circumstances relating to the collectability of accounts receivable may result in the need to increase or decrease the allowance for doubtful accounts in the future. The company provides for any and all of the accounts receivable which are due over the period of one year if it meets the criteria for allowance estimated by the management.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value on the weighted average cost method of accounting.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures that increase value or extend useful lives are capitalized and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the year incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of fixed assets are reflected in other income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures   5 to 10 years
Office equipment and computers   3 to 5 years
Vehicles   5 years

 

Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not significantly improve or extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed when incurred.

 

Upon the sale or retirement of assets, costs and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets primarily consist of patent legal costs and are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is assumed as 15 years. The Company capitalizes product development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40 and ASC 985-20. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is assumed as 15 years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset groups for indicators of possible impairment by determining whether there were any triggering events that could impact the Company’s assets. If events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable the Company performs a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such asset or asset group. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value generally determined by estimates of future discounted cash flows.

 

The Company has not identified any such impairment losses for the period ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

 

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

The subsidiary company “FatPipe Networks Private Limited” provides a defined benefit gratuity plan to eligible employees in accordance with applicable labor laws of India. The gratuity benefit is based on the employee’s last drawn salary and years of continuous service, and is payable upon resignation, retirement, or termination of employment.

 

The gratuity plan is accounted for in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits. The liability for the defined benefit obligation is determined using the projected unit credit method and is based on actuarial valuations performed annually by independent actuaries. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the statement of operations in the period in which they occur and this method is applied consistently.

 

The benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the obligation reflects the yields available on high-quality corporate bonds of similar duration. The Company does not fund the plan, and benefits are paid as they become due.

 

Key assumptions used in the actuarial valuation include discount rate, salary growth rate, and employee turnover rates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. Its taxable income and deductions are included on a consolidated income tax return. The consolidated entities have a net loss carryover which may be fully utilized. Deferred tax assets are recognized in these financial statements after considering valuation allowances. A subsidiary of the Company is subject to foreign income taxes in India. The Indian subsidiary is subjected to income tax audits annually and tax assessments in accordance with the applicable Income Tax laws.

 

Warranties

 

The Company offers a one-year to three-year warranty on the hardware products it sells. The cost of fulfilling the warranty obligation has historically been insignificant. No provision for future warranty costs has been made in these financial statements.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

 

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Related Parties

 

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions..

 

Concentrations

 

The Company has no significant geographic concentrations in either trade accounts receivable or revenue.

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that may be exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions it believes to be financially sound. At times such balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.

 

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and, with the exception of certain financing transactions, do not require collateral from our customers.
