PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS.

Overview

NAPCO is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, cellular communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. We have established a national network of trusted independent security dealers and integrators that are experts at selling, installing and supporting our various technologies. These dealers are dependent on our platform for communication services to our radio communicators and smart security devices, and they pay us a monthly fee for these services to operate and manage their businesses efficiently.

Our net revenues were $202.3 million, $181.6 million and $188.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  The increase in our net revenues from fiscal 2025 to 2026 was driven by the increase in revenues of equipment products ($9.5 million or 10.0%) as well as the continued growth of our recurring communication services ($11.2 million or 13.0%). The increase in net equipment revenues was due primarily to increased revenues of door-locking products ($6.9 million or 11.1%) and increased revenues of intrusion and access products ($2.6 million or 7.8%). The increase in net service revenues was due to net new activations of our fire and burglar cellular (radio) communication devices put into service and activated.

Our net income was $43.0 million, $43.4 million and $49.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 is inclusive of a one-time litigation settlement charge of ($16 million).

Our Products and Services

Since 1969, NAPCO has established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high-quality security solutions, building many of the industry’s widely recognized brands, such as NAPCO Security Technologies, Alarm Lock, NAPCO Access Pro, Marks USA, and other popular product lines. The Company’s products and services are comprised primarily of the following:

​

Table of Contents

Communication Services (Recurring Service Revenues)

In 2012, we began to generate monthly recurring service revenue by providing secure cellular and cloud access for intrusion and fire alarm communicators and other smart security devices. These services are provided to the Company’s customers on a month-to-month basis in exchange for a monthly fee. Revenues from these services have grown significantly over the past several years, increasing 29% from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026. These revenues, which currently have a gross margin of approximately 90.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, represent approximately 48% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended of June 30, 2026.

Since 2012, we have continued to develop and sell additional equipment products that require communication services and generate recurring revenues. To date, the majority of our recurring revenue has been generated through the sale, installation and activation of our StarLink cellular communication devices.

These products are installed at the premises of end users, and we generate revenue from the installers by both the upfront purchase of our products and the monthly subscription fees for access to our Networx Operations Center (NOC) that provides cellular communication services to the devices. Monthly recurring service revenue generates substantially higher gross margins than do equipment sales and allows us to generate a more consistent stream of income. We believe there is a significant market opportunity for these products and services because many commercial and residential customers prefer to purchase real-time security monitoring services to ensure continuous protection and swift responses to security breaches and fire alarms.

We intend to continue pursuing recurring revenue opportunities by developing new and innovative products and continuing our aggressive sales and marketing efforts of these products.

Door Security Products

The Company manufactures a variety of door locking devices including microprocessor-based electronic door locks with push button, card reader and bio-metric operation, door alarms, mechanical door locks and simple dead bolt locks. These devices may control a single door or, in the case of some of the Company’s microprocessor-based door locks, may be networked with the Company’s access control systems and controlled remotely.

Intrusion and Fire Alarm Systems.

Alarm systems usually consist of various detectors, a control panel, a digital keypad and signaling equipment. When a break-in occurs, an intrusion detector senses the intrusion and activates a control panel via hard-wired or wireless transmission that sets off the signaling equipment and, in most cases, causes a bell or siren to sound. Communication equipment such as a cellular or digital communicator may be used to transmit the alarm signal to a central station or another person selected by a customer. Cellular communicators have become the standard, and panels and communicators are trending towards integration so that many alarm panels will contain an integrated cellular communication device.

The Company manufactures and markets the following products for these alarm systems:

​

Table of Contents

Access Control Systems.

Access control systems consist of one or more of the following: various types of identification readers (e.g. card readers, hand scanners), a control panel, a PC-based computer and electronically activated door-locking devices. When an identification card or other identifying information is entered into the reader, the information is transmitted to the control panel/PC, which then validates the data and determines whether to grant access by electronically deactivating the door locking device. An electronic log is kept which records various types of data regarding access activity.

Video Surveillance Systems.

Video surveillance systems typically consist of one or more video cameras, a control panel and a video monitor or PC. More advanced systems can also include a recording device and some type of remote communication device such as an internet connection to a PC or browser-enabled cell phone. The system allows the user to monitor various locations at once while recorders save the video images for future use. Remote communication devices can allow the user to view and control the system from a remote location. The Company designs, engineers, and markets the software and control panels discussed above. It also buys and resells various video cameras, PC-based computers and peripheral equipment for video surveillance systems.

School Security and Public Safety

School security and public safety continue to be an important market, and we have developed products to help address security concerns arising from the significant need for increased security in schools and other public spaces. In the U.S., there are over 100,000 K-12 schools, over 5,000 colleges and universities and over 350,000 houses of worship. As a result of increased “active shooter” incidents, a number of U.S. states and local governments have substantially increased school security budgets. Many colleges and universities have large endowments which are starting to be utilized to address this critical issue. Security equipment and services focused on education has reached over $3 billion in revenues and this segment is still in the early stages as many K-12 schools, colleges and universities have still not addressed this issue.

With a full suite of products and solutions, we believe we are well positioned to meet the security needs of schools, houses of worship, and other places where people congregate. Depending on the needs of the school and their budget, we offer (i) Standalone LocDown locks which can be operated by a teacher, (ii) a series of Networx standalone wireless locks which communicate with central controls, or (iii) enterprise-class access control with cellular connectivity, which allows the head of security to lock down all or part of the campus, including dorm rooms, classrooms and administrative offices, from a centralized office. While we continue to win new school security projects, due to the nature of selling our security products through distribution, total visibility into quantifying the revenue from this market is difficult.

Competition

The security products industry is highly competitive. The Company's primary competitors are comprised of approximately 12 other companies that manufacture and market security equipment to distributors, dealers, central stations and original equipment manufacturers. The Company believes that none of these competitors is dominant in the industry. Most of these companies have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. However, unlike the Company, we believe that none of these competitors manufactures all key building security products: Intrusion Alarms and Access Control, Connectivity, and Locking devices. As more security installations include multiple security-related systems, which can include, intrusion, fire, access control,

​

Table of Contents

door-locking and connectivity, there is more demand for the various systems to communicate with each other. By having everything manufactured under one roof, we can offer customers one integrated platform solution without the risk of incompatible equipment from multiple vendors to “talk” to each other.

Our manufacturing facility located in the Dominican Republic (“D.R.”) manufactures over 90% of our products. It is located in a free zone which is a tax-advantaged location. The D.R. manufacturing operation is vertically integrated and operates in a low-cost location, where the typical labor cost are significantly less than the cost for similar services in the U.S. The D.R. facility allows us to maintain a lower manufacturing overhead and improve our gross margin. The building is self-contained with the ability to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Shipping times from the D.R. to the Amityville facility are typically 6-8 days.

We perform our managerial and administrative activities in the U.S. in our facility located in Amityville, New York, which is 100,000 square feet and serves as Company’s headquarters, containing its corporate offices, research and development, design, sales administration, technical services, finance, procurement, manufacturing control, warehousing, and shipping operations. We believe that our ability to provide timely and effective technical support and services to our U.S. customers from our U.S. facility in Amityville is an advantage over other companies in the security industry that have moved customer service functions overseas to countries such as India and Philippines. Our dealers and customers rely substantially on the ability to communicate real-time to experts who can provide clear and understandable advice and instruction, because they are usually dealing with highly technical problems on a job site with little time to spare.

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the features, quality, reliability and pricing of, and the incorporation of the latest innovative and technological advances into, its products. The Company also competes by offering technical support services to its customers. In addition, the Company competes on the basis of its expertise, its proven products, its reputation and its ability to provide products to customers on a timely basis. The inability of the Company to compete with respect to any one or more of the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on the Company's business.

Our Strategy

Due to paradigm changes in the security marketplace, the Company’s focus has been on mandatory (non-elective) systems, such as fire systems with central station monitoring in commercial buildings, and IoT-driven connectivity services in high growth and margin categories. As copper land lines continue to be phased out and more people are required to switch to cellular phone service for their homes, our cellular communication services become increasingly attractive in these installations, both new and existing. We have built a strong competitive position by developing a wide range of software capabilities from embedded micro-coding to enterprise system software, database design, mobile applications development, user portal design, mechanical and electronic mechanisms and telecommunications, featuring our significant radio and cellular communications expertise. This has enabled us to create recurring revenue opportunities across product lines, and sustained profitability from recurring revenue with margins that approach or exceed 90%. We are also focusing on security solutions for the healthcare industry, including anti-ligature lockets designed for life safety and liability reduction in hospitals, behavior health institutions and correctional facilities, and such products are highly profitable while complying with applicable regulatory and health standards. We believe that our ability to design and produce these products and services is possible due to our advanced set of in-house engineering technology capability from mechanical to electronic and electro-mechanical products, digital, microprocessor and analog circuit design, networking products, and wireless and cellular communications electronics.

Research and Development

The success of the Company’s business depends substantially on its ability to develop new and proprietary technology and products conducted primarily by its engineering department to develop and improve the products. The Company intends to continue to conduct a significant portion of its future research and development activities internally. We spend approximately 6% to 7% of our revenues on research and development.

Our Human Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 1,049 full-time employees. 293 of these were located in the United States (“U.S.”) and 756 were located at our manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic (“DR”). 38 of our U.S. employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We also engage consultants from time to time. Management considers its relationship with its employees to be very good.

​

Table of Contents

Hiring, motivating and retaining talented employees is an ongoing priority to Napco. Maintaining a talented workforce at all levels is critical to our ability to deliver high-quality products and services to our customers as well as maintain shareholder value.

To maintain a high level of talent in our workforce, Napco offers comprehensive benefits programs, competitive wages, incentive programs, performance reviews and various employee activities and awards. We also provide training and management support for employees to enhance their success and to identify outstanding talent and development opportunities.

Government Regulation

Our business and products are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulatory authorities and the regulatory authorities in the countries in which our products are produced or sold. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had and is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, including capital expenditures for environmental compliance, or on its earnings or competitive position.

Marketing

The Company's staff of 61 sales and marketing employees sell and market our products primarily to independent distributors, wholesalers and dealers of security alarm and security hardware equipment. The Company currently has approximately 2,200 active customers made up of distributors, installing dealers and wholesalers who purchase our products directly from the Company as well as many more who purchase our products from these distributors. The Company's sales representatives periodically contact existing and potential customers to introduce new products and create demand for those as well as other Company products. These sales representatives, together with the Company's technical personnel, provide training and other services to wholesalers and distributors so that they can better service the needs of their customers. In addition to direct sales efforts, the Company advertises in technical trade publications and participates in trade shows in major United States cities.

Raw Materials

The Company prepares specifications for component parts used in the products and purchases the components from outside sources or fabricates the components itself. These components, if standard, are generally readily available; if specially designed for the Company, there is usually more than one alternative source of supply available to the Company on a competitive basis. The Company generally maintains inventories of all critical components. A majority of purchased components are sourced from U.S. and Asian suppliers and are typically shipped directly to the D.R. The Company, for the most part, is not dependent on any one source for its raw materials. The Company believes that any vendor that is currently the sole source of a component can be replaced without a material impact on the Company.

The Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) data center buildout has increased demand across a broad range of electronic components, including microcontrollers, memory devices, power management integrated circuits, networking components and other semiconductors used in our products. Suppliers may allocate limited manufacturing capacity to customers serving AI and cloud infrastructure markets, reducing availability for security and access control manufacturers such as us. Discussions within the Company have noted that the AI data center boom has materially altered the competitive landscape for electronic component supply.

Consequently, we may experience longer lead times, cost increases, allocation restrictions or reduced product availability from suppliers. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of critical components, identify alternative sources, or pass increased costs to customers, our ability to manufacture and deliver products could be adversely affected.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves substantial risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” when evaluating our business and before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. We describe below what we believe are currently the material risks and uncertainties we face, but they are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business could be materially adversely affected because of general economic and market conditions.

We are subject to the effects of general economic and market conditions. If any of these conditions deteriorate, our revenue, profit and cash-flow levels could be materially adversely affected in future periods. In the event of such deterioration, many of our current or potential future customers may experience serious cash flow problems and as a result may modify, delay or cancel purchases of our products. Additionally, customers may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us. If such events do occur, they may result in our expenses being too high in relation to our revenues and cash flows. Volatile, negative, or uncertain economic conditions, an increase in the likelihood of a recession, or concerns about these or other similar risks may negatively affect the demand for our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, ongoing instability and current conflicts, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and other recent geopolitical events throughout the world, have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and profitability. These types of matters cause uncertainty in financial markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we operate.

During weak economic times, the available pool of independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment may decline as the prospects for home building and home renovation projects diminish, which may have a corresponding impact on our growth prospects. In addition, there is an increased risk during these periods that an increased percentage of independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment will file for bankruptcy protection, which may harm our reputation, revenue, profitability and results of operations.

​

Table of Contents

The markets we serve are highly competitive with many substantially larger competitors and we may be unable to compete effectively.

We compete with approximately 12 other companies that manufacture and market security equipment to distributors, dealers, control stations and original equipment manufacturers in the U.S. Most of these companies may have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company competes primarily on the basis of the features, quality, reliability and pricing of, and the incorporation of the latest innovative and technological advances into its products, as well as technical support services to its customers. The Company competes on the basis of its expertise, its proven products, its reputation and its ability to provide products to customers on a timely basis. The inability of the Company to compete with respect to any one or more of the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Our business may also be materially adversely affected by the announcement or introduction of new products and services by our competitors, and the implementation of effective marketing or sales strategies by our competitors. Our industry is characterized by constantly improved products. There can be no assurance that competitors will not develop products that are superior to the Company’s products. We have historically invested approximately 6% to 7% of annual revenues on R&D to mitigate this risk. However, many of our competitors have dedicated more resources and capabilities to R&D, including committing more engineers and capital expenditures, to develop and design new products that may enter the market sooner or with more penetration. Future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to develop and market products and product enhancements cost-effectively. The Company’s research and development expenditures are principally targeted at enhancing existing products, and to a lesser extent at developing new ones. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience additional price competition, and that such competition may not adversely affect the Company’s revenues and results of operations

We expect our results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which could cause our stock price to fluctuate as well.

Our results of operations are difficult to predict and may fluctuate substantially from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. If our actual results were to fall below the expectations of public market analysts or investors, our quarterly and annual results would be negatively impacted and the price of our stock could fluctuate. Other factors that could affect our quarterly and annual operating results include, but are not limited to:

​

Table of Contents

As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may be volatile, and you should not rely on them as an indication of our future performance.

Increased demand for semiconductors and electronic components driven by artificial intelligence ("AI") infrastructure and data center expansion could adversely affect our supply chain and operating results.

The rapid growth of AI applications and the expansion of large-scale data centers have significantly increased global demand for semiconductors, processors, memory devices, power management components and other electronic parts. As a result, component manufacturers may prioritize production capacity for higher-volume or higher-margin customers serving AI, cloud computing and hyperscale data center markets.

We rely on a variety of third-party suppliers for critical electronic components used in our products. Increased competition for available semiconductor capacity could result in extended lead times, reduced allocations, higher prices, supply shortages and less favorable purchasing terms. In addition, shortages affecting a single component may delay the production and shipment of finished products, even when other materials remain available.

While we maintain inventory strategies, supplier relationships and alternative sourcing initiatives designed to mitigate supply disruptions, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient. Any significant interruption in the supply of critical components, inability to obtain required quantities at commercially reasonable prices, or failure of suppliers to meet our requirements could increase our costs, delay customer deliveries, reduce revenue, adversely affect margins and harm our reputation with customers.

​

Table of Contents

The impact of these risks may be amplified by geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, manufacturing concentration in certain regions, transportation disruptions or continued growth in AI-related demand for advanced and legacy semiconductor products.

If disruptions in our transportation network occur or our shipping costs substantially increase, we may be unable to sell or timely deliver our products, and our operating expenses could increase.

We are highly dependent upon the transportation systems we use to ship our products, including surface, ocean and air freight. Our attempts to closely match our inventory levels to our product demand intensify the need for our transportation systems to function effectively and without delay. On a quarterly basis, our shipping volume also tends to steadily increase as the quarter progresses, which means that any disruption in our transportation network in the latter half of a quarter will likely have a more material effect on our business than a disruption at the beginning of a quarter.

The transportation network is subject to disruption or congestion from a variety of causes, including labor disputes or port strikes, international conflicts, natural disasters, and congestion resulting from higher shipping volumes. Labor disputes among freight carriers and at ports of entry are common, and we expect labor unrest and its effects on shipping our products to be a continuing challenge for us. A port worker strike, work slow-down, or other transportation disruption in locations where we import our products to fulfill our orders, could significantly disrupt our business. Our international freight is regularly subject to inspection by governmental entities. If our delivery times increase unexpectedly for these or any other reasons, our ability to deliver products on time would be materially and adversely affected and result in delayed or lost revenue as well as customer imposed penalties. In addition, if increases in fuel prices occur, our transportation costs would likely increase. Moreover, the cost of shipping our products by air freight is greater than by other methods. From time to time in the past, we have shipped products using extensive air freight to meet unexpected spikes in demand and shifts in demand between product categories, to bring new product introductions to market quickly and to timely ship products previously ordered. If we continue to rely more heavily upon air freight to deliver our products, our overall shipping costs will increase. A prolonged transportation disruption or a significant increase in the cost of freight could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may not be able to maintain or control our expenses proportionate to our sales volumes to generate profit for our business.

Certain of our expenses are fixed or semi-variable, including our costs for operating our manufacturing facilities. While expense levels relating to current sales levels result in positive net income and cash flows, if sales levels decrease significantly and we are unable to reduce expenses proportionately, our business may be adversely affected. The amount of our operating expenses are subject to variables and factors that may not be within our control, including but are not limited to, unexpected expenses relating to the manufacturing of products; increased compensation requirements for our employees and cost of raw materials. A significant portion of our expense is labor cost, including costs for workers who are operating our facility in the Dominican Republic. While we have been able to control our expenses due to the lower labor costs in the Dominican Republic, there is no guarantee that such costs will not increase in the future, or that a sufficient number of workers in Dominican Republic will be available to operate the facility efficiently, and our failure to maintain effective labor costs may adversely affect our results of operations. We may face heightened inflationary pressure, which could impact the cost of doing business in both supply and labor markets. Any potential inflationary pressures could be exacerbated by geopolitical turmoil and economic policy actions, and the duration of any such pressures is uncertain.

Our business could be adversely affected as a result of housing and commercial building market conditions.

We are subject to the effects of housing and commercial building market conditions. The sales of our security products tend to increase during period in which new housing and commercial real estate constructions are increasing. If these conditions deteriorate, resulting in declines in new housing or commercial building constructions, existing home or commercial building sales or renovations, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected, particularly in our intrusion and door locking product lines. The condition of the residential and commercial building markets in which we operate is cyclical and depends on the condition of the economy in the United States, and on the perceptions of investors of the overall economic outlook. Rising interest rates, declining employment levels, declining demand for real estate, declining real estate values or periods of general economic slowdown or recession or the perception that any of these events may occur have negatively impacted the real estate market in the past and may in the future negatively impact our ability to sell products and generate new revenue sources.

We may not be able to sustain the growth of our recurring service revenue business, which has been the large driver of our revenue and profitability.

A significant driver of our growth is our recurring revenue business in which customers who purchased our products and equipment are required to pay monthly fees for communications services to maintain the operation of such products. Our recurring revenue products, such as StarLink, Prima, MVP Access, iSecure and iBridge, tend to generate higher gross margin and are less susceptible to volatility of market demand and economic conditions. We face intense competition where other companies with greater resources and experience have established a wider and more entrenched customer base for similar products and services, making it more difficult for us to penetrate into such markets. In addition, we are required to incur costs to maintain a network operations center to provide customer support and services, and to comply with federal and state regulations governing the operation and communications of these products. Such costs may reduce our profitability if we are not able to grow and expand the recurring revenue business. As we are increasingly dependent on recurring revenue products as a driver for growth, our failure to execute our strategy for this business line will materially adversely affect our financial conditions and prospects.

We may not be able to sustain and continue the growth of school security products.

Demand for our security products from schools, universities and other educational institutions as a result of the national focus on prevention of school violence continues to be an important market for us. Federal and state governmental authorities have proposed and enacted numerous legislation and laws, including the School Violence Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2019 that provide increased funding to public schools to implement and enhance security systems. While our business has benefited from such additional federal and state funding and increased demand, there is no guarantee that such funding and trend will continue. For example, if school shutdowns return as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and various stay-at-home orders imposed by state governments, there could be a reduced need for schools to acquire and implement security systems, and state and federal government may also decide to reduce funding or impose additional criteria for funding. These factors may result in a decline in demand for our school security products, which in turn may adversely affect our financial performance.

We rely on distributors to sell our products and an adverse change in our relationship with such distributors may adversely affect our financial performance.

We distribute our products primarily through independent distributors and wholesalers of security alarm and security hardware equipment. Our distributors and wholesalers also sell our competitors’ products, and if they favor our competitors’ products for any reason, they may fail or reduce their effort to market and sell our products as effectively or to devote resources necessary to provide effective sales, which would adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, our distributors order our products and maintain their inventory based on forecasts of potential demands from dealers and end customers, and our distributors may not be able to forecast such demand accurately, which may adversely affect our ability to generate sales and revenue in a timely manner. In some cases, distributors may delay ordering our products until they receive confirmation of orders from dealers and end customers, and this delay may cause disruption and make it more difficult for us to fill their order timely and effectively, which may adversely affect our revenue and sales.

The financial health of our distributors and wholesalers and our continuing relationships with them are important to our success. Some of these distributors and wholesalers, particularly smaller firms with limited working capital and resources, may not be able to withstand adverse changes in business conditions or mitigate the negative impact of a prolonged economic downturn or recession, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The failure of our distributors to maintain financial health and success will impact our ability to generate revenues. Furthermore, our relationship with distributors may change or terminate due to other factors beyond our control, including but are not limited to, acquisition of distributors by third parties may not be willing to continue the relationship with us; internal restructuring or refocus of business strategies; and changes in management, all of which may negatively impact our ability to continue to sell to such distributors. Finally, we generally do not have long-term agreements with distributors who purchase our products primarily through purchase orders. Without an agreement, we are not able to guarantee that such distributors will not discontinue or terminate relationship with us at any time, and any loss of distributor will negatively impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

We may not be able to gain widespread or timely market acceptance of our new products and continue to build and enhance our brand to achieve growth.

We rely on introduction of new products and services to penetrate new markets and identify additional sources of revenues order to grow our business. However, many of our distributors and customers may not be willing to change or switch to new products and

​

Table of Contents

equipment, or may require an extended period time to assess, test and evaluate functionalities and performance of our new products. Any delays in establishing widespread acceptance of our new products may adversely affect our financial performance and growth. In order to ensure market acceptance of new products, we have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses in sales and marketing campaign, and we may not be able to justify such costs if the effort does not produce sufficient sales and customer accounts.

We believe that building and maintaining market awareness, brand recognition and goodwill of our business and products in a cost-effective manner is important to our overall success in achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future products and is an important element in attracting new customers. An important part of our business strategy is to increase awareness of our brand and to provide marketing leadership, services and support to our distributor and customer network. While we may choose to engage in a broader marketing campaign to further promote our brand, this effort may not be successful. Our efforts in developing our brand may be hindered by the marketing efforts of our competitors and our reliance on our third parties to promote our brand. If we are unable to cost-effectively maintain and increase awareness of our brand, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be harmed.

Our financial results could be materially adversely affected as a result of offering extended payment terms to customers or if we are not able to collect our accounts receivables on a timely basis from major customers.

We regularly grant credit terms beyond 30 days to certain distributors and customers primarily in an effort to keep a full line of our products in-stock at our customers’ locations. The longer the terms that are granted, the more risk is inherent in the collection of those receivables. We cannot guarantee that distributors and customers will be able to make payments on a timely basis even after a thorough review of their credit and financial history. The ability of distributors and customers to make such payments may be subject to factors beyond our control, including their financial conditions and business operation. We may also incur additional costs and effort to collect past due receivables without assurance that a sufficient or any amount of bad debt can be collected.

We sell security products and systems and if our solutions fail for any reason, we could be subject to liability and our business could suffer.

We sell security products and services, which are designed to secure the safety of our customer and their commercial, residential, institutional, industrial or governmental properties. Our products and services may contain undetected defects in the software, infrastructure, third-party components or processes. If these solutions fail for any reason, including due to defects in our equipment, software, a carrier outage or user error, we could be subject to liability for such failures and our business could suffer. In addition, our products and systems are not installed by us, and if third parties do not install or maintain our products correctly, our products and systems may not function properly. If the improper installation or maintenance of our products and systems leads to service or equipment failures after introduction of, or an upgrade to, our products and systems, we could experience harm to our branded reputation, claims by our customers or installers or lost revenue during the period required to address the cause of the problem. Any defect in, or disruption to, our products and systems could cause consumers not to purchase additional products or systems from us, prevent potential consumers from purchasing our products and systems or harm our reputation.

We are subject to risks relating to the operation of a manufacturing facility in Dominican Republic.

We operate a manufacturing facility in Dominican Republic where the majority of our products is made and shipped to our U.S. distributors. The facility requires us to incur certain fixed operating costs that do not fluctuate with changes in production levels or utilization of our manufacturing capacity. If production levels decline due to lower demand or reduced customer orders, our fixed costs are spread over reduced levels, which may contribute to decreasing margins and reduced profitability. Operation of a manufacturing facility also subjects us to certain additional risks, including but not limited to the following:

·         Unavailability of workers or insufficient workforce to operate the factory;

·         Compliance with local regulatory requirements, including labor laws and tax requirements;

·         Difficulties in communication and coordination with U.S. headquarters;

·         Natural disasters such as hurricanes which may damage our factory; and

·         Effect of general political and economic conditions of the Dominican Republic.

​

Table of Contents

The occurrence of any of these factors may adversely affect the production output and operation of our factory, which will disrupt our supply chain and negatively impact our financial performance. Furthermore, we have not identified any alternative third-party factory that can manufacture our products; therefore, it would be difficult for us to replace any loss of output of capacity if our factory in Dominican Republic is not functioning properly or at all.

Our business could be materially adversely affected by a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Dominican peso.

We are exposed to foreign currency risks due to our operations in the Dominican Republic. We have significant operations in the Dominican Republic, which conducts certain transactions in Dominican pesos. We are subject to the risk that currency exchange rates between the United States and the Dominican Republic will fluctuate significantly, potentially resulting in an increase in some of our expenses when US dollars are transferred to Dominican pesos to pay these expenses. For example, if the U.S. dollars weakens and the currency exchange rate is less favorable, it may be more costly for us to pay expenses for our factory in the Dominican Republic, which may adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations.

Changes in U.S. policies, including tariffs may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Tariff decisions in the current environment has become difficult to predict.

We source certain raw materials, components, and finished goods from international suppliers and are therefore exposed to changes in U.S. trade policy. In recent years, the United States has imposed, modified, suspended, or terminated tariffs under various statutory authorities, including IEEPA, Section 122, and Section 301. These actions have been subject to significant legal, political, and regulatory uncertainty, including court challenges and subsequent replacement tariffs. Recent developments have included judicial rulings concerning the legality of certain IEEPA-based tariffs and the implementation of alternative tariff programs under Section 122 and Section 301 authorities.

Future tariff actions, retaliatory trade measures, changes in tariff rates, expansion of tariff coverage, or modifications to applicable exemptions could increase our costs of goods sold, reduce profit margins, disrupt our supply chain, and negatively impact demand for our products. Although certain tariffs imposed under IEEPA have been invalidated by courts and may be subject to refund claims, replacement tariffs imposed under Section 122, Section 301, or other trade authorities may continue, expand, or be modified. The ultimate scope, duration, and economic impact of these measures remain uncertain and could adversely affect our sourcing costs, supply chain stability, and operating results. In addition, uncertainty regarding future trade policy may adversely affect purchasing decisions by customers, availability of suppliers, ocean freight capacity, and inventory planning.

While we may seek to mitigate the impact of tariffs through pricing actions, sourcing alternatives, contractual arrangements, or supply chain adjustments, there can be no assurance that such measures will fully offset increased costs or disruptions. Furthermore, ongoing litigation, administrative actions, and governmental policy changes relating to tariffs may create uncertainty regarding the amount, timing, and recoverability of any tariff-related costs or refunds. As a result, changes in the tariff environment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

Our business could be materially adversely affected by adverse tax consequences of offshore operations.

We have operations both within the United States and offshore, with a portion of our operating income generated outside the United States. We intend to reinvest these earnings in our foreign operations indefinitely, except where we are able to repatriate these earnings to the United States without material incremental tax expense. A significant portion of our assets that result from these earnings remain outside the United States. If these indefinitely reinvested earnings were repatriated into the United States as dividends, we would be subject to additional withholding taxes.

The effects of an epidemic, pandemic, or similar outbreak have negatively impacted and could negatively impact, our business and financial results.

Any epidemics, pandemics, or similar outbreaks such as COVID-19 and its variants could create economic uncertainty and disruptions to the global economy that could adversely affect our businesses, or could lead to operational difficulties, including travel limitations, that could impair our ability to manage or conduct our business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic downturn, we experienced a decline in the demand for our products, as our distributors and customers reduced orders and adjusted their inventory channel in response to slowdown in spending and demand for security products. While the economic recovery from this pandemic has resulted in increased demand for our products beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, re-institution of a prolonged stay-at-home order, or any other continued decrease in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, could have a

​

Table of Contents

negative adverse impact on our customers and their financial condition, which could impact their ability to meet their financial obligations and could result in elevated levels of delinquencies and bad debt losses. In addition, we rely upon our third-party vendors to provide parts and materials for us to produce our products. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these parts and materials, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic in areas where we operate.

Beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations lessened. However, the future impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and subject to change. We cannot predict if there will be a resurgence of COVID-19 or a similar pandemic or outbreak, and when related governmental orders and restrictions will be eased or lifted, and any extension or prolonged implementation of these restrictions will further adversely affect our business, customers and financial results. Even after such orders and restrictions are eased or lifted, the severe economic harm and recession inflicted upon the jurisdictions and areas in which we operate may last for an extended period of time and continue to adversely affect our business and financial performance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to act quickly and effectively to return to our normal operations. Any future epidemic, pandemic, or similar outbreak as the COVID-19 pandemic may have similar impacts, and we cannot currently anticipate the potential impact on our business and results of operations due to any such outbreak.

Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements, and any violation of these requirements could harm our business.

We are subject to numerous state, federal and international laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business, including data privacy and security, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, import-export controls, trade restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. Violations of one or more of these legal requirements in the conduct of our business, including by us, or any of our employees, distributors, or other service providers or partners, could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our employees, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with our products or commercial contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.

Investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation, arbitration, or other legal proceedings could require us to pay potentially large damage awards or penalties and could be costly to defend, which would adversely affect our cash balances and profitability, and could damage our reputation.

We are subject to and may become a party to various litigation matters, claims, investigations, enforcement actions, arbitrations, or other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in significant monetary damages, penalties, or injunctive relief against us. Any claims or litigation could be costly to defend, and even if we are successful or fully indemnified or insured, they could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future, and responding to any action may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources. Litigation and other claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. See Item 3: Legal Proceedings and Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cybersecurity incidents and other disruptions to our information and technology systems, or the information systems of third parties whom we do business with, may compromise our information and expose us to liability that could adversely impact our financial condition, business operations, and reputation.

We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit, report and store electronic information and, in the normal course of our business, we collect and retain certain information pertaining to our distributors, customers, partners and employees, including personal information. Our information technology systems, along with those of the third parties whom we rely on, are potentially vulnerable to a variety of evolving cybersecurity threats that may expose our data to unauthorized persons or otherwise compromise its integrity. In addition, cyber-attacks from computer hackers and cyber criminals and other malicious Internet-based activity continue to increase generally, and perpetrators of cyber-attacks may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, ransomware, malware, DNS attacks, wireless network attacks, attacks on our cloud networks, phishing attempts, social engineering attempts, distributed denial of service attacks and other advanced persistent threats or malicious

​

Table of Contents

software programs that attack our products and services, our networks and network endpoints or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products, services and networks. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We cannot be certain that advances in cyber-capabilities or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology protecting the networks that access our platforms and solutions, and we can make no assurance that we will be able to detect, prevent, timely and adequately address or mitigate the negative effects of cyber-attacks or other security breaches. If any one of these risks materializes, our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

While we have implemented cybersecurity measures designed to protect our information technology systems as well as the confidential and sensitive data in our possession, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. Additionally, the third-parties with whom we do business (including, but not limited to, service providers, such as accountants, custodians and administrators) may be sources or targets of cybersecurity attacks or other technological risks. While we engage in actions to reduce our exposure to third-party risks, we cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by these third parties and ongoing threats may result in unauthorized access, loss, exposure or destruction of data, or other cybersecurity incidents, with increased costs and other consequences, including those described above. Cybersecurity threat actors and their techniques change frequently, are often sophisticated in nature, and may not be detected until after a cybersecurity incident has occurred.

If we, or a third party upon whom we rely, experience a cybersecurity incident or are perceived to have experienced a cybersecurity incident, we may experience adverse consequences. These consequences may affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition and can include: government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive data (including personal data); litigation (including class claims); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms.

The legal, regulatory and contractual environment surrounding information security, privacy and credit card fraud is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such information are under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world. Further, as the regulatory focus on cybersecurity issues continues to increase and worldwide laws and regulations concerning the protection of computer systems, data and personal information expand and become more complex, these potential risks to our business will intensify. A significant actual or potential theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of distributor, customer, employee or other personally identifiable data, whether by third parties or as a result of employee malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding security of such data or a violation of security policies with respect to such data could result in loss of confidential information, damage to our reputation, early termination of our business relationships, litigation, regulatory investigations or actions and other liabilities or actions against us, including significant fines by U.S. federal and state authorities, and other countries and private claims by companies and individuals for violation of data privacy and security regulations.

We rely on the effort and continuing service of our senior management members

The success of the Company is largely dependent on the effort and service of our senior management members, including Mr. Richard Soloway, the Founder and Executive Chairman, and Mr. Kevin Buchel, Chief Executive Officer and President. We depend on them for various aspects of our business operation, including their experience and knowledge in the industry, extensive relationships with distributors and customers, and their leadership to develop and implement business strategies. The loss or reduction of services by Mr. Soloway and Mr. Buchel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. Messrs Soloway and Buchel are 80 and 73 years old, respectively.

Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the inability to maintain adequate financing.

While our business currently does not have any debt and finances operations and capital expenditures solely utilizing cash-flows from operations, we have an unused credit facility in the event that we need to supplement current cash-flows with outside financing. The credit facility provides for certain financial covenants relating to ratios affected by profit, asset and debt levels. If the Company’s profits, asset or cash-flow levels decline below the minimums required to meet these covenants and we require outside financing, the Company may be materially adversely affected. Effects on the Company could include higher interest costs, reduction in borrowing availability or revocation of these credit facilities. We also may seek to obtain additional financing by issuing equity securities or equity-linked securities or obtaining debt financing to obtain additional funds to expand our business. If we issue additional equity or equity-linked securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the market price of our common stock could decline. If we engage in additional debt financing, the holders of such debt would have priority over the holders

​

Table of Contents

of our common stock, and we may be required to accept terms that further restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to take other actions that would otherwise be in the interests of the debt holders. Any of the above could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Moreover, instability in the credit or capital markets in the U.S., including as a result of failures of financial institutions and any related market-wide reduction in liquidity, or concerns or rumors about events of these kinds or similar risks, could affect the availability of credit or our credit ratings, making it relatively difficult or expensive to obtain additional capital at competitive rates, on commercially reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts, or at all, thus making it more difficult or expensive for us to access funds.

We are obligated to develop and maintain a system of effective internal controls over financial reporting. These internal controls may be determined to be not effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

We have been and are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective and would be required to disclose any material weaknesses identified in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. While we have established certain procedures and control over our financial reporting processes, we cannot assure you that these efforts will prevent restatements of our financial statements in the future.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is also required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. For future reporting periods, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. We may not be able to remediate any future material weaknesses, or to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion.

If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, including the SEC and Nasdaq. Failure to remediate any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

Recent and proposed changes to SEC reporting and filer-status requirements may affect the Company's future compliance obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other disclosure rules. Regardless of any reduction in external attestation requirements, management remains responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain effective controls, successfully implement regulatory changes, or address evolving disclosure requirements could result in increased compliance costs, regulatory scrutiny, litigation exposure, reputational harm, or loss of investor confidence.

Cost of operating as a public company, and compliance with SEC regulations.

As a public company, we are obligated to file with the SEC annual and quarterly reports and other reports that are specified in Section 13 and other sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We are also required to ensure that we have the ability to prepare financial statements that are fully compliant with all SEC reporting requirements on a timely basis. In addition, we are and will continue to become subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), and certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which will impose significant compliance obligations upon us.

Section 404 of the SOX Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASDAQ, have imposed increased regulation and disclosure and required enhanced corporate governance practices of public companies. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, and our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards in this regard are likely to result in increased selling, general, and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. These changes will require a significant commitment of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements and implementing them could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we fail to implement the requirements with respect to our internal accounting and audit functions, our ability to report our operating results on a timely and

​

Table of Contents

accurate basis could be impaired. If we do not implement such requirements in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC and the NASDAQ. Any such action could harm our reputation and the confidence of investors and customers in us and could materially and adversely affect our business and cause our share price to fall.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the SOX Act could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.

As a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting in order to satisfy the requirements of rules and regulations of the SEC regarding compliance with Section 404 of the SOX Act, which requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are required to provide our independent registered public accounting firm’s annual report addressing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. During our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet our deadline for compliance with Section 404 of the SOX Act. Testing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. We also expect the regulations under Section 404 of the SOX Act to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, making it more difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If our financial performance fails to meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our market price to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders, may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. Additionally, the shares of common stock subject to outstanding options under our equity incentive plans and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, as well as shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards, will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations.

Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to stockholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, disrupt our business, result in a proxy contest or litigation, or impact our stock price.

Stockholder activism, which can take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, including making public demands that we consider certain strategic alternatives, engaging in public campaigns to attempt to influence our corporate governance and/or our management, and commencing proxy contests to attempt to elect the activists’ representatives or others to our Board of Directors, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the price of our common stock or other reasons has caused, and may continue in the future to cause, us to become the target of securities litigation or stockholder activism. Activist stockholders who disagree with the composition of our Board of Directors, our strategy, or the way our company is managed may seek to effect change through various strategies and channels, such as through commencing a proxy contest, making public statements critical of our performance or business, or engaging in other similar activities. Responding to any actions by activist stockholders, including proxy contests, can be costly and time-consuming, has diverted the attention of management, our Board of Directors and our employees, and may be disruptive to our operations. We may be required to incur significant fees and other expenses related to activist stockholder matters, including for third-party advisors.

​

Table of Contents

Our stock price could be adversely affected by the events, risks, and uncertainties of any stockholder activism. Additionally, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of stockholder activism, including potential changes to the composition of our Board of Directors, may lead to the perception of a change in the strategic direction of our business; the loss of key employees, including our executive officers; a perception of instability or lack of continuity, particularly if the stockholder activism campaign results in the appointment of one or more activist stockholders to our Board of Directors, which may cause concern to our existing or potential retailers, distributors and other channel partners, employees, and other stockholders; may be exploited by our competitors; may result in the loss of potential business opportunities or limit our ability to develop and introduce new products and services; and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners. In addition, activist directors may make overly burdensome demands of our management and materially and unnecessarily increase management’s workload. Furthermore, if our retailers, distributors and other channel partners choose to delay, defer, or reduce transactions with us or do business with our competitors instead of us as a result of perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, then our business, financial condition, and operating results would be adversely affected.

In addition, market volatility may lead to increased stockholder activism if we experience a market valuation that activists believe is not reflective of our intrinsic value and our stock price could experience periods of increased volatility as a result of stockholder activism.

We may become subject to short selling strategies driving down the market price of our common stock.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but may have borrowed with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. Because it is in the short seller’s best interests for the price of the securities to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, its business prospects and similar matters calculated to or which may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the stock short. Companies, like us, that are subject to unfavorable allegations, even if untrue, may have to expend a significant resources to investigate any such allegations, including in connection with securityholder litigation against the Company or investigations by regulators related to or prompted by any such allegations.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. (“NAPCO”). MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Form 10-K). This section generally discusses the results of our operations for the year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the year ended June 30, 2025. For a discussion of the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the year ended June 30, 2024, please refer to, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Overview

NAPCO is a leading manufacturer and designer of high-tech electronic security devices, wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems as well as a provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products, used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by our recurring service revenues from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems.

NAPCO has established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high-quality security solutions. We are dedicated to developing innovative technology and producing the next generation of reliable security solutions that utilize remote communications and wireless networks.

Highlights from fiscal year 2026 compared with fiscal year 2025 included:

Please see Non-GAAP Measures below in this section of this Annual Report for a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable measurement in accordance with GAAP, for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Industry Landscape

Our industry continues to be dynamic and highly competitive, with frequent changes in both technologies and business models. Each industry shift is an opportunity to conceive new products, new technologies, or new ideas that can further transform the industry and our business. Napco continually strives to innovate through a broad range of research and development activities that seek to identify and address the changing demands of customers, industry trends, and competitive forces.

Economic Conditions and Other Factors

We are subject to the effects of general macroeconomic and market conditions.

​

Table of Contents

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid, and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade further ruled that importers that paid such tariffs are due refunds. Although certain tariffs imposed under IEEPA have been invalidated by courts and are subject to refund claims, replacement tariffs have been imposed under Section 122 and Section 301, and other trade authorities may continue, expand, or be modified. The ultimate scope, duration, and economic impact of these measures remain uncertain. As of June 30, 2026 the Company has received or accrued certain IEPPA refund claims. The Company has submitted additional claims which the Company cannot ensure the probability of collection and therefore, no refund receivable has been recognized related to these claims.

The AI data center buildout has increased demand across a broad range of electronic components, including microcontrollers, memory devices, power management integrated circuits, networking components and other semiconductors used in our products. Suppliers may allocate limited manufacturing capacity to customers serving AI and cloud infrastructure markets, reducing availability for security and access control manufacturers such as us.

Consequently, we may experience longer lead times, cost increases, allocation restrictions or reduced product availability from suppliers. If we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of critical components, identify alternative sources, or pass increased costs to customers, our ability to manufacture and deliver products could be adversely affected.

The markets for security devices and services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are continually developing new products and solutions for consumers and businesses. We must continue to evolve and adapt to respond to customer and user preferences over an extended time in pace with this changing environment.

Refer to Risk Factors (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K) for a discussion of various risk factors that could affect us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires a high degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We continuously evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience, as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Critical estimates include management’s judgments associated with reserves for sales returns and allowances, allowance for credit losses, overhead expenses applied to inventory, inventory reserves, valuation of intangible assets, share based compensation and income taxes. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change, and actual results may differ from these estimates.

We consider the following significant accounting policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in maintaining them.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Equipment Revenue

Equipment revenue, which includes shipping and handling costs, is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer, which is typically the date of shipment of the related equipment when the product is picked up by the carrier or customer. A provision for product returns, credits and rebates is recorded as a reduction of equipment revenue in the same period the revenue is recognized.

The Company provides a limited standard warranty for defective products, usually for a period of 24 to 36 months, and accepts returns for such defective products as well as for other limited circumstances. The Company also provides rebates to customers for meeting specified purchasing targets and other coupons or credits in limited circumstances. Reserves are established for the estimated returns, rebates and credits and such variable consideration is measured based on the most likely amount method.

​

Table of Contents

The Company analyzes product sales returns and is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on several factors including actual returns and expected return data communicated to the Company by its customers.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is primarily generated from the sale of monthly cellular communication services to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably with the delivery of cellular communication service over the related monthly period, and when ownership, risks and rewards transfer to the customer.

The services are billed monthly, and customers have the right to cancel the cellular communication services at any time, however the contract with the customer does not provide.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The reported net value of inventory includes finished saleable products, work-in-process and raw materials that will be sold or used in future periods. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and overhead. The Company’s overhead expenses are applied based, in part, upon estimates of the proportion of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials as compared to the manufacture and assembly of finished products. These proportions, the method of their application, and the resulting overhead included in ending inventory, are based in part on subjective estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company records a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value. This reserve is calculated using an estimated excess and slow-moving percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, product life cycle, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product to better match customer demand. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by both production and engineering members of management in determining the estimated excess and slow-moving percentage. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. The Company also regularly reviews the period over which its inventories will be converted to sales. Any inventories expected to convert to sales beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

Legal and Other Contingencies

The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are as follows (in thousands):

We believe that our projected cash flow from operations, combined with our cash and short-term investments, will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital requirements, contractual obligations, and other cash flow needs for the next twelve months. We believe that there is minimal credit risk associated with the investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments due to the types of investment entered.

​

Table of Contents

A summary of the cash flow activity for the year ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $61.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2026 and was due to net income of $43.0 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $4.8 million and an increase in cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $13.3 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were largely attributable to decreases in inventories and increases in accrued expenses offset by increases in accounts receivables, income tax receivable and prepaid expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $53.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 and was due to net income of $43.4 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $3.1 million and an increase in cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $7.0 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were largely attributable to decreases in inventories, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses offset by decreases in accounts payables and accrued expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The cash provided by investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. The Net cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by net cash used for capital expenditures and purchase of marketable securities. The cash provided by investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities as well as the redemption of our Certificate of Deposits which were classified as other investments. The Net cash provided by investing activities was partially offset by net cash used for capital expenditures and purchase of marketable securities.

​

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The cash used in financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2026 was primarily related to the payment of stockholder dividends as well as payment of tax withholdings related to stock option exercises while the year ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to the payment of stockholder dividends and the purchase of treasury shares.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s available revolving credit line was $20,000,000, which expires in February 2029. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company has no outstanding debt.

The Company takes into consideration several factors in measuring its liquidity, including the ratios set forth below:

Working Capital. Working capital increased by $27,142,000 to $165,529,000 as of June 30, 2026 from $138,387,000 at June 30, 2025. Working capital is calculated by deducting Current Liabilities from Current Assets.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures or inventory purchases other than purchase orders issued in the normal course of business. On April 26, 1993, the Company's foreign subsidiary entered into a 99-year land lease for approximately 4 acres of land in the Dominican Republic, on which the Company’s principal manufacturing facility is located, at an annual base rent of approximately $235,000 and $105,000 in annual service charges. The service charges increase 2% annually over the remaining life of the lease.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025

​

Revenue

Revenue by major product lines is as follows:

Net revenue in fiscal 2026 increased by $20,695,000 to $202,316,000 as compared to $181,621,000 in fiscal 2025.

Net equipment revenue in fiscal 2026 increased $9,497,000 to $104,788,000 as compared to $95,291,000 in fiscal 2025. The increase in net equipment revenues was due to increased revenue from door-locking products of $6,925,000, or 11.1% and increased revenue of intrusion and access products of $2,573,000 million or 7.8%.

The increased revenue from our door locking products was primarily a result of the impact of pricing increases (approximately 6.1%) with the balance due to increased sales volume (approximately 5.0%). The impact of price increases was a result of both our Alarm Lock and Marks USA locking divisions (approximately 6.7% and 4.8%, respectively), sales volume on Alarm Lock grew approximately 13% and Marks USA volume decreased approximately 8.2% as compared to Fiscal 2025.

​

Table of Contents

The increased revenue in our intrusion and access alarm division was primarily a result of the impact of pricing increases (approximately 9.1%), offset by a decrease in volume (approximately 1.3%). Intrusion product revenue increased by approximately 14.3% because of price increases of 10.4% and increased volume of 3.9%, primarily driven by the sale of our fire radio communicators. Access alarm products revenue decreased approximately 11.0% because of price increases of 4.2%, offset by decreased volume of approximately 15.2%.

Net service revenues for fiscal 2026 increased $11,198,000 to $97,528,000 as compared to $86,330,000 in fiscal 2025. The increase in net service revenues was due to an increase in the number of our cellular communication devices (radios) put into service and activated. The main driver of new activations was new installations of our fire radio communicators installed by our dealer network.

Gross Profit

The Company's gross profit increased by $18,761,000 to $119,791,000 in fiscal 2026 as compared to $101,030,000 in fiscal 2025. Overall, gross margins increased to 59.2% of net revenue in 2026 from 55.6% in 2025.

Gross profit from equipment revenue was $31,757,000 or 30.3% of net equipment revenue, as compared to $22,496,000 or 23.6% of net equipment revenue, in fiscal 2025.

The increase in gross profit percentage from equipment revenue was primarily a result of price increases (inclusive of lower sales discounts and allowance), the impact of the refund of tariffs paid in fiscal 2025 (1.0%), reduced charges related to inventory reserves (0.5%), offset by increased technical services costs (0.5%) as a result of investments in AI automation solutions.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue was consistent in both periods. Gross profit on service revenue was $88,034,000 or 90.3% of net service revenue in fiscal 2026 and $78,534,000 or 91.0% of net service revenue, in fiscal 2025.

Research and Development

Research and Development expenses increased by $1,210,000 to $13,791,000 or 6.8% of net revenue in fiscal 2026 as compared to $12,581,000 or 6.9% of net revenue in fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily due to increases of $1,040,000 in personnel-related expenses mainly from annual merit increases of engineering staff, and additional cost of obtaining UL approvals $106,000 for new products.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2026 increased by $2,172,000 to $44,362,000 or 21.9% of net revenue as compared $42,190,000 or 23.2% of net revenue in fiscal 2025. The increase is primarily due to increases of $767,000 in personnel-related expenses mainly from merit increases and the hiring of additional personnel in the sales and information technology departments, $775,000 in commission payments mainly from the aforementioned increases in equipment revenue, $327,000 in tradeshow related activities, $184,000 in insurance and $152,000 in 401(k) matching expenses, $104,000 in credit card processing fees related to our service revenue, and $110,000 in other administrative costs, offset by decreases in professional fees of $247,000.

Litigation settlement costs

Litigation settlement costs, net of any insurance reimbursements of $16,000,000 was recognized in fiscal 2026 as a result of the settlement described in Note 14.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

**Percentage change not meaningful.

​

Table of Contents

Interest income increased for fiscal 2026, compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to the increase in our cash and cash equivalents as well as higher interest rates.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for fiscal 2026 increased by $132,000 to $6,795,000 as compared to $6,663,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company’s effective tax rate (13.6% fiscal 2026 and 13.3% fiscal 2025) was consistent in both periods.

Non-GAAP Measures

We define non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income plus income tax expense, net interest income, stock-based compensation, legal costs and settlement fees incurred and received in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes, litigation settlement costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. We do not consider these items to be indicative of our core operating performance. The non-cash items include amortization and depreciation expense and stock-based compensation expense related to equity compensation. We define non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We have included non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin in this report because they are key measure our management uses to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to generate future operating plans, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and to make strategic investment decisions. Further, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of litigation settlement costs and certain historical legal expenses, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Our use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

​

Table of Contents

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

​

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio. We internally manage our investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our investment portfolio includes fixed-income securities with a fair value of approximately $10.6 million at June 30, 2026. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and, based on our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2026, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of approximately $213,000. While an increase in interest rates may reduce the fair value of the investment portfolio, we will not realize the losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income unless the individual fixed-income securities are sold prior to recovery or the loss is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Currency Exchange Risk

We conduct business with non-U.S. customers, however all foreign sales transactions by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company has shifted foreign currency exposure onto its foreign customers.

If changes in exchange rates were to negatively effect these customers, the Company could have trouble collecting unsecured receivables, and or experience the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk relative to expenses incurred in Dominican Pesos ("RD$"), the local currency of the Company's production facility in the Dominican Republic. The result of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar to the RD$ would result in an annual increase or decrease in income from operations of approximately $830,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Napco Security Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Napco Security Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 24, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Excess and Slow-Moving Inventory Reserve — Refer to Note 1 and 6 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Management records a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory, which represents any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated net realizable value. The reserve is calculated using an estimated reserve percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, product life cycle, requirements to support forecasted sales, and the ability to find alternate applications of its raw materials and to convert finished product into alternate versions of the same product. The reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory was $5.1 million at June 30, 2026.

We identified the reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to determine the reserve, specifically the reserve percentage and forecasted inventory usage. This
