Description of the Matter
−Removed: The Company’s revenue is generated pursuant
−Removed: to written contractual arrangements to design, develop, manufacture and/or modify complex products, and to provide related engineering
−Removed: and other services according to the specifications of the customers.
−Removed: The majority of the Company’s performance obligations under
−Removed: these contractual agreements are satisfied at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon
−Removed: acceptance by the customer and shipment of the goods.
−Removed: For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s
−Removed: transaction price to each performance obligation using its observable standalone selling price for products and services.
−Removed: Given the judgment necessary to make reasonably
−Removed: dependable estimates of revenues associated with such contracts, auditing management’s evaluation of contracts with customers required
−Removed: extensive audit effort due to analyzing the terms and conditions of the Company’s various customer contracts given that such terms
−Removed: and conditions are nonstandard.
−Removed: This included the identification and determination of the performance obligations and the timing of revenue
−Removed: How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
+Added: The Company’s revenue from contracts with
+Added: customers is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon the delivery and
+Added: acceptance by the customer.
+Added: If the contracts, with customers in which the Company satisfies its promise to the customer to provide a service
+Added: or product that has no alternative use to the Company and the Company has enforceable rights to payment for progress completed to date
+Added: inclusive of profit, the Company would be required to recognize revenue over time as it satisfies the performance obligation.
+Added: The Company evaluates each revenue generating
+Added: contract to determine whether or not they are entitled to a profit should the contract be terminated, whether or not there is an alternative
+Added: use for the product upon contract termination and whether or not there are any contractual restrictions which would prohibit the Company
+Added: from selling the product elsewhere (alternative use) upon contract termination.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: Auditing management’s evaluation of contracts
+Added: with customers required extensive audit effort due to the judgment required to analyze the terms and conditions of the Company’s
+Added: various customer contracts given that such terms and conditions may be nonstandard.

+Added: of the performance obligations and the assessment of whether a product has alternative use.
Our audit procedures included obtaining an understanding
−Removed: of the Company’s revenue recognition process, among others:
−Removed: We reviewed management’s assessment of the terms and conditions of contracts with customers which included an analysis of the distinct performance obligations and a review of the conclusion as to whether revenue from such performance obligations should be recognized over time or at a point in time.
−Removed: We reviewed management’s conclusions over completeness of the contract reviews and appropriateness of the accounting conclusions.
−Removed: We selected a sample of contracts with customers and performed the following:
−Removed: Compared the transaction price to the consideration expected to be received based on current rights and obligations under the contracts and any modification that were agreed upon with the customers.
−Removed: Tested the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s contract summary documentation, specifically related to the identification and determination of distinct performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition.

+Added: and determination of the performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition which included, among others, reading a sample
+Added: of executed contracts and purchase orders to understand the contract and performing an independent assessment of the identification of
+Added: distinct performance obligations.
+Added: We performed procedures to test whether or not
+Added: the Company is entitled to a profit should the contract be terminated, whether or not there is an alternative use for the product upon
+Added: contract termination and whether or not there are any contractual restrictions which would prohibit the Company from selling the product
+Added: elsewhere (alternative use) upon contract termination.
+Added: Inventory Valuation Reserve
Description of the Matter
−Removed: The Company records inventory at the lower of cost
−Removed: or net realizable value.
−Removed: The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of inventory, which requires management to make significant
−Removed: estimates and assumptions related to sales patterns and expected future demand in order to estimate the amount necessary to adjust to
−Removed: net realizable value as a result of slow moving or obsolete inventory.
−Removed: Changes in the assumptions could have a significant impact on the
−Removed: valuation of inventory.
−Removed: We identified the adjustment to net realizable
−Removed: value of the inventory as a critical audit matter.
−Removed: Auditing such estimates required a high degree of subjective auditor judgment and an
−Removed: increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.
−Removed: How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
−Removed: Our audit procedures used to address the adjustment
−Removed: to net realizable value of inventories included the follow:
−Removed: We tested the Company’s raw materials and hardware inventory by evaluating the number of days transpiring from the date the inventory was originally received and/or from the last date of movement, and reviewing the historical sales of the inventory.
−Removed: We selected a sample of finished goods and performed the following:
−Removed: We tested the finished goods inventory report for any finished goods with no movement in the last two years.
−Removed: Reviewed the transaction history detail reports, which display all types of movement of that particular part.
−Removed: Evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the valuation reserve by selecting a sample of inventory items and obtaining supporting documentation regarding current and historical sales patterns.
−Removed: We tested the accuracy of the Company’s material burden rate calculations to determine proper application of manufacturing overhead costs applied to the cost of work in process and finished goods.
−Removed: We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2008.
+Added: As described in Note 4 to the financial statements,
+Added: the Company’s net inventory balance of approximately $31.8 million included a reserve for obsolete and excess inventory of approximately
+Added: $4.0 million at December 31, 2022.
+Added: The Company maintains a reserve for inventory based on estimated losses that result from inventory
+Added: that becomes obsolete or for which the Company has excess inventory levels.
+Added: In determining this estimate, the Company performs an analysis
+Added: on current demand and usage for each inventory item over historical time periods.
+Added: Based on that analysis, the Company reserves a percentage
+Added: of the inventory amount within each time period based on historical demand and usage patterns of specific items in inventory.
+Added: This requires
+Added: management to make significant estimates and assumptions in order to estimate the amount necessary to adjust to net realizable value as
+Added: a result of obsolescence or slow-moving inventory.
+Added: Changes in the assumptions could have a significant impact on the valuation of inventory.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: Auditing management’s inventory valuation
+Added: process including its impairment procedures required extensive auditor effort due to the judgment required to analyze the Company’s
+Added: methodology in determining excess quantities and slow-moving goods.
+Added: Our audit procedures included obtaining an understanding
+Added: of the Company’s inventory valuation process including the identification of excess quantities and slow-moving goods and the potential
+Added: impairment to net realizable value.
+Added: We performed procedures to test the identification
+Added: and determination of excess quantities and slow-moving goods.
+Added: We traced the movement of a sample of goods to the respective transaction
+Added: history detail reports of such goods to ensure that excess quantities and slow-moving goods were properly identified and potentially impaired.
+Added: We tested the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s inventory reserve reports specifically related to the identification and
+Added: determination of excess quantities and slow-moving goods and impairment.
+Added: We have served as the Company’s auditor
+Added: since 2008 (such date takes into account the acquisition of Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger &Guttilla, P.C., by Marcum LLP effective
