NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of GSI Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“GSI” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These interim financial statements contain all adjustments (which consist of only normal, recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the interim financial information included therein. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. However, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Government Agreements
From time to time, the Company may enter into agreements with federal government agencies. GAAP does not have specific accounting standards covering agreements between the government and business entities. The Company applies International Accounting Standards 20 (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy when accounting for agreements entered into with the government. Under IAS 20, government grants or awards are initially recognized when there is reasonable assurance the conditions of the grant or award will be met and the grant or award will be received. After initial recognition, government grants or awards are recognized on a systematic basis in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant or award is intended to compensate. The Company follows ASC 832, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, with respect to the disclosures of government grants or awards.
.
Credit Losses — Marketable Securities
For marketable securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company periodically assesses its portfolio for impairment. The assessment first considers the intent or requirement to sell the marketable security. If either of these criteria are met, the amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings.
Beginning April 1, 2023, if the criteria above are not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline resulted from credit losses or other factors by considering the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the marketable security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the marketable security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the marketable security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the marketable security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized
7
Table of Contents
cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any other impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss.
Credit Losses — Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts billed less estimated allowances for credit losses for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from a customer’s inability to make required payments. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Accounts receivable are written-off and charged against an allowance for credit losses when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success.
Risk and uncertainties
The decline in the global economic environment due to, among other things, higher interest rates, worldwide inflationary pressures and recent fluctuations in energy prices has affected the business activities of the Company, its customers, suppliers, and other business partners in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and into the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
Our software development and certain regional sales activities for our APU product offerings occur in Israel. Our Vice President, Associative Computing, along with a team of software development experts are based in our Israel facility. This team is needed for the development of the various levels of software required in the use of our APU product offering. Proof of concept customers for our SAR imagine processing acceleration system are also based in Israel. We are closely monitoring developments in the evolving military conflict with Hamas that began on October 7, 2023 including potential impacts to our business, customers, employees and operations in Israel. At this time, the impact on GSI Technology is uncertain and subject to change given the volatile nature of the situation, but adverse changes in the military conditions in Israel could harm our business and our stock price could decline.
The Company believes that during the next 12 months disruptions in the capital markets as a result of higher interest rates, worldwide inflationary pressures, recent fluctuations in energy prices and the decline in the global economic environment could impact general economic activity and demand in the Company’s end markets. Additionally, fluctuations in customer demand due to previous buffer stock purchases during the semiconductor supply shortage may negatively impact near-term revenues.
Accounting pronouncements effective for fiscal 2024
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, the Company is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities are recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. Adoption of this standard on April 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 2—REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the
8
Table of Contents
transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
The Company’s customer contracts, which may be in the form of purchase orders, contracts or purchase agreements, contain performance obligations for delivery of agreed upon products. Delivery of all performance obligations contained within a contract with a customer typically occurs at the same time (or within the same accounting period). Transfer of control occurs at the point at which delivery has occurred, title and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer, and the Company has a right to payment. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of the product.
Because all of the Company’s performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption practical expedient and, therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.
The Company adjusts the transaction price for variable consideration. Variable consideration is not typically significant and primarily results from stock rotation rights and quick pay discounts provided to certain distributors. As a practical expedient, the Company is recognizing the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commission expenses that have a period of benefit of less than twelve months, as an expense when incurred. Additionally, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to recognize shipping costs that occur after control transfers to the customer as a fulfillment activity.
The Company’s contracts with customers do not typically include extended payment terms. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from 30 to 60 days from shipment. Additionally, the Company has right to payment upon shipment.
The Company records revenue net of sales tax, value added tax, excise tax and other taxes collected concurrent with product sales. The impact of such taxes on product sales is immaterial.
The Company warrants its products to be free of defects generally for a period of three years . The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience and includes such costs in cost of revenues. Warranty costs and the accrued warranty liability were not material as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from sales of SRAM products, which represent approximately 98 % and 97 % of total revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Nokia, the Company’s largest customer, purchases products directly from the Company and through contract manufacturers and distributors. Based on information provided to the Company by its contract manufacturers and distributors, purchases by Nokia represented approximately 15 % and 20 % of the Company’s net revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 23 % and 16 % of the Company’s net revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
See “Note 12 — Segment and Geographic Information” for revenue by shipment destination.

Amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenues was $ 58,000 for each of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $ 175,000 for each of the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of
11
Table of Contents
the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. The Company identified a potential impairment indicator for the finite lived intangible assets and performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset group to the carrying amount as of December 31, 2023. The result of the recoverability test indicated that the sum of the expected future cash flows was greater than the carrying amount of the finite lived intangible assets. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from the APU product could result in a non-cash impairment charge in future periods.
As of December 31, 2023, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets in the table above is as follows (in thousands):

On November 30, 2022, the Company announced cost reduction initiatives which included an approximate 15 % reduction in the Company’s global workforce. The Company incurred $ 0.3 million in severance related charges during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 including $ 0.1 million recorded as cost of revenues and $ 0.2 million recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. There were no severance related charges in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023.
NOTE 5—GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company tests for goodwill impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset is more likely than not impaired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on the last day of February in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The Company has one reporting unit.
The Company had a goodwill balance of $ 8.0 million as of both December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. The goodwill resulted from the acquisition of MikaMonu Group Ltd. in fiscal 2016.
The Company completed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and concluded that there was no impairment, as the fair value of its sole reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.
NOTE 6—INCOME TAXES
The current portion and long-term portion of the Company’s income tax liability related to unrecognized tax benefits was $ 0 at both December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Due to historical losses in the United States, the
12
Table of Contents
Company has a full valuation allowance on its United States federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance.
Management believes that within the next twelve months the Company will not have a significant reduction in uncertain tax benefits, including interest and penalties, related to positions taken with respect to credits and loss carryforwards on previously filed tax returns.
The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2013 through 2022 remain open to examination by federal tax authorities, and fiscal years 2012 through 2022 remain open to examination by California tax authorities. Fiscal years 2020 through 2023 are subject to audit by the Israeli tax authorities.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company incurred income tax expense of $ 155,000 and $ 181,000 on net losses before income taxes of ($ 15.6 million) and ($ 11.8 million), respectively. The provision was calculated using the annualized effective tax rate method. The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, including discrete items, was approximately ( 1.44 %) and ( 2.16 %) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The annual effective tax rates as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 vary from the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances in the United States, whereby pre-tax losses do not result in the recognition of corresponding income tax benefits or foreign tax differential.
NOTE 7—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements
Authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and related disclosures. The guidance applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis. The guidance requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value of available-for-sale securities included in the Level 1 category is based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market. As of December 31, 2023, the Level 1 category included money market funds of $ 9.6 million, which were included in cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of available-for-sale securities included in the Level 2 category is based on the market values obtained from an independent pricing service that were evaluated using pricing models that vary by asset class and may incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and price quotes from well-established independent pricing vendors and broker-dealers. As of December 31, 2023, there were no Level 2 category short-term investments.
Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participants and pricing. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of MikaMonu. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was initially determined as of the acquisition date using unobservable inputs. These inputs included the estimated amount and timing of future cash flows, the probability achievement of the forecast and a risk-adjusted discount rate of approximately 14.8 % used to adjust the probability-weighted cash flows to their present value. Significant increases (decreases) to the estimated amount and timing of future cash flows or the probability of achievement of the forecast would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Conversely, a significant increase or (decrease) in the risk-adjusted discount rate would result in a significantly
13
Table of Contents
(lower) higher fair value measurement. Generally, changes used in the assumptions for future cash flows and probability of achievement of the forecast would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value measurement and expense. Conversely, changes in the risk-adjusted discount rate would be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the related fair value measurement and expense. Subsequent to the acquisition date, at each reporting period, the contingent consideration liability is re-measured to fair value with changes recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the most recent re-measurement of the contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2023, the Company used a risk-adjusted discount rate of approximately 15.6 % to adjust the probability-weighted cash flows to their present value using probabilities ranging from 25 % to 70 % for the remaining contingent events. The contingent consideration liability is included in contingent consideration, non-current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 in the amount of $ 495,000 and $ 1.1 million, respectively.

Short-term investments
All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities with maturities greater than twelve months are classified as long-term investments when they are not intended for use in current operations. Investments in available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrecognized gains (losses), net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had money market funds of $ 9.6 million and $ 7.8 million at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, included in cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company monitors its investments for impairment periodically and records appropriate reductions in carrying values when declines are determined to be other-than-temporary.
The following table summarizes the Company’s available-for-sale investments. There were no available-for-sale investments at December 31, 2023.

NOTE 8—LEASES
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices and research and development facilities. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 2 months to 40 months , some of which include options to extend for up to 5 years .
On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement in Taiwan, wherein the lease for the Company’s existing office and warehouse space was extended through August 31, 2026. The lease has been extended for a three-year period under substantially the same terms and conditions of the original lease agreement. The Company identified this extension as a lease modification and reassessed the discount rate at the remeasurement date, at 3.9 % based on local rates in Taiwan, and the Company has remeasured its ROU asset and lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet using the discount rate that applies as of the date of the modification.

NOTE 9—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Indemnification obligations
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts entered into by the Company, under which the Company agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold and certain intellectual property rights. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by it under these agreements.
It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments that may be required under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

NOTE 13—GOVERNMENT AGREEMENTS
In June 2023, the Company entered into a prototype agreement with the Space Development Agency for the development of a Next-Generation Associative Processing Unit-2 for Enhanced Space-Based Capabilities (“Prototype Agreement”). Under the Prototype Agreement, the Company will receive an award funded by the Small Business Innovation Research program. Pursuant to an agreed-upon schedule, the Company will receive milestone payments totaling an estimated $ 1.25 million upon successful completion of each milestone. The Prototype Agreement is unrelated to the Company’s ordinary business activities. The Company has discretion in managing the activities under the Prototype Agreement and retains all developed intellectual property. The Company applies IAS 20, by analogy, and recognizes the award as a reduction of research and development expenses based on a cost incurred method.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 175,000 and $ 435,000 , respectively, as a reduction to research and development expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had received total milestone payments of $ 435,000 under the Prototype Agreement.
