Note 2 - Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Optex Systems, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Optex Systems Holdings included herein have been prepared by Optex Systems Holdings, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Optex Systems Holdings’ Form 10-K for the year ended October 1, 2017 and other reports filed with the SEC.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Optex Systems Holdings for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole. Certain information that is not required for interim financial reporting purposes has been omitted.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Inventory: As of July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017, inventory included: 

Warranty Costs: As of July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017, the Company had warranty reserve balances of $163 thousand and $174 thousand, respectively. During the three and nine months ending July 1, 2018 the Company recognized $62 thousand and $273 thousand in warranty expenses related to quality issues encountered on Applied Optics Center optical assemblies for returned products requiring repairs or replacements. There were no warranty expenses recognized during the three and nine months ending July 2, 2017. We believe we have made sufficient improvements to the production process to minimize the return rate on future shipments but we will continue to review and monitor the reserve balances related to this product line against any existing warranty backlog and current trend data on an interim basis until the current warranty backlog is depleted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of the financial statement presentation date.

The carrying value of the balance sheet cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, are carried at, or approximate, fair value as of the reporting date because of their short-term nature. Fair values for the Company’s warrant liabilities and derivatives are estimated by utilizing valuation models that consider current and expected stock prices, volatility, dividends, market interest rates, forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value estimates are reviewed at the origination date and again at each applicable measurement date and interim or annual financial reporting dates, as applicable for the financial instrument, and are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management at those times.

Each of the measurements is considered a Level 2 or Level 3 measurement based on the availability of market data and inputs and the significance of any unobservable inputs as of the measurement date. The methods and significant inputs and assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the warrant liabilities, as well as the respective hierarchy designations are discussed further in Note 6 “Warrant Liabilities”.

Income Tax/Deferred Tax: As of July 1, 2018 Optex Systems, Inc. has a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of ($2.7) million against deferred tax assets of $2.7 million, as compared to a valuation allowance of ($4.6) million against deferred tax assets of $4.6 million as of October 1, 2017. The valuation allowance has been established due to historical losses resulting in a Net Operating Loss Carryforward for each of the fiscal years 2010 through 2016. During the nine months ended July 1, 2018, our deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation account decreased by $1.9 million. During the nine months ended July 1, 2018, the Company recognized a $1.7 million reduction in the deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 enacted on December 22, 2017 which changed the Corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective as of January 1, 2018, and $0.2 million related to current year tax adjustments for amortization expenses and the applied net operating loss carryforward. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available for common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The Company has potentially dilutive securities outstanding which include convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock units, stock options and warrants. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock, the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends and the denominator is increased to assume the conversion of the number of additional common shares. The Company uses the Treasury Stock Method to compute the dilutive effect of any dilutive shares. Convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock units, stock options and warrants that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

For the three and nine months ended July 1, 2018, 54 preferred Series C preferred shares (which converts to 225,000 common shares), and 33,000 unvested restricted stock units were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation and 66,000 unvested restricted stock units, 60,000 stock options and 4,125,200 warrants were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as they were antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended July 2, 2017, 318 preferred Series C shares (which converts to 1,325,000 common shares) were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, respectively, and 182,000 unvested restricted stock units, 56,260 stock options and 4,125,200 warrants were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as they were antidilutive.
