+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting
+Added: Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), when a customer obtains control
+Added: of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods
+Added: To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company
+Added: determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps:
+Added: (i) identify the contract(s) with a
+Added: (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: (iii) determine the transaction price;
+Added: (iv) allocate
+Added: the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a
+Added: performance obligation.
+Added: The five-step model is applied to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration
+Added: we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer.
+Added: At contract inception, once the contract
+Added: is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those
+Added: that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct.
+Added: We then recognize revenue in
+Added: the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation
+Added: is satisfied.
+Added: Delivery occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk of
+Added: loss transfer to the customer, in accordance with the terms specified in the arrangement with the customer.
+Added: Revenue recognition
+Added: is deferred until the earnings process is complete.
+Added: We (i) input orders based upon receipt of a customer purchase
+Added: order, (ii) confirm pricing through the customer purchase order record, (iii) validate creditworthiness through past
+Added: payment history, credit agency reports and other financial data, and (iv) recognize revenue upon shipment of goods or when
+Added: risk of loss and title transfer to the buyer.
+Added: All customers have warranty rights, and some customers also have explicit or implicit
+Added: rights of return.
+Added: We establish reserves for potential customer returns or warranty repairs based on historical experience and other
+Added: factors that enable us to reasonably estimate the obligation.
+Added: ELECTRONICS, INC.
+Added: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
+Added: Statements - continued
+Added: A portion of our product sales is made through distributors
+Added: under agreements allowing for right of return.
+Added: Our past history with these sell-through right of return provisions allow us to
+Added: reasonably estimate the amount of inventory that could be returned pursuant to these agreements, and revenue is recognized accordingly.
+Added: We recognize revenue for non-recurring engineering or non-recurring
+Added: tooling fees when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, performance obligations are identified, fees are fixed or determinable,
+Added: delivery has occurred, and collectability is reasonably assured.
+Added: We establish reserves for future product warranty costs that
+Added: are expected to be incurred pursuant to specific warranty provisions with our customers.
+Added: We generally warrant our products against
+Added: defects for one year from date of shipment, with certain exceptions in which the warranty period can extend to more than one year
+Added: based on contractual agreements.
+Added: A warranty reserve is recorded against revenues when products are shipped.
+Added: At each reporting period,
+Added: we adjust our reserve for warranty claims based on our actual warranty claims experience as a percentage of net revenue for the
+Added: preceding 12 months and also consider the effect of known operations issues that may have an impact that differs from historical
+Added: Historically, our warranty returns have not been material.
+Added: Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
+Added: Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees are
+Added: presented in product revenues.
+Added: Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.
+Added: Engineering, Research and Development Costs
+Added: Engineering, research and development (“R&D”)
+Added: costs are expensed when incurred.

+Added: Stock-based Compensation
+Added: All stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
+Added: stock options and employee stock purchase rights, are recognized in the financial statements based on their respective grant date
+Added: (measurement date) fair values.
+Added: We calculate the compensation cost of full-value awards such as restricted stock based on the market
+Added: value of the underlying stock at the date of the grant.
+Added: We estimate the expected life of a stock award as the period of time that
+Added: the award is expected to be outstanding.
+Added: We are required to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of
+Added: grant using an option-pricing model.
+Added: The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
+Added: expense ratably over the requisite service periods.
+Added: We estimate the fair value of each option award as of the date of grant using
+Added: the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting
+Added: restrictions and that are freely transferable.
+Added: The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected
+Added: life of the award and the expected volatility of our stock price.
+Added: Although the Black-Scholes option pricing model meets the accounting
+Added: guidance requirements, the fair values generated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not be indicative of the actual
+Added: fair values of our awards, as it does not consider other factors important to those stock-based payment awards, such as continued
+Added: employment, periodic vesting requirements, and limited transferability.
+Added: We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based
+Added: awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
+Added: The amount of compensation expense recognized
+Added: through the end of each reporting period is equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the awards that have vested, or for
+Added: partially vested awards, the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest for which the requisite services
+Added: have been provided.
+Added: The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash flow.

+Added: Other Income, Net
+Added: Other income, net, consists of interest income, foreign exchange
+Added: gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses.
+Added: We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method,
+Added: whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
+Added: the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and
+Added: tax credit carryforwards.
+Added: We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and
+Added: to the extent we believe that recovery is not determinable beyond a “more likely than not”
+Added: standard, we establish a
+Added: valuation allowance.
+Added: To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, we include
+Added: an expense or benefit within the tax provision in the statement of operations.
+Added: We also utilize a “more likely than not”
+Added: recognition threshold and measurement analysis for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
+Added: or expected to be taken in a tax return.
+Added: We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
+Added: within the consolidated statements of operations as income tax expense.

+Added: income, including net income and any changes in equity during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances generated
+Added: by non-owner sources.
+Added: Earnings per Share
+Added: Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income
+Added: by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
+Added: Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing
+Added: net income by the weighted average number of diluted common shares, which is inclusive of common stock equivalents from unexercised
+Added: stock options and restricted stock units.
+Added: Unexercised stock options and restricted stock units are considered to be common stock
+Added: equivalents if, using the treasury stock method, they are determined to be dilutive.
+Added: Under the two-class method of determining earnings for each
+Added: class of stock, we consider the dividend rights and participating rights in undistributed earnings for each class of stock.
+Added: Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its
+Added: leases under ASC 842.
+Added: Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing
+Added: leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability,
+Added: calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental
+Added: borrowing rate.
+Added: Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized
+Added: over the lease term.
+Added: For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset results in front-loaded
+Added: expense over the lease term.

+Added: In June 2020, the Company entered into a sublease agreement
+Added: to lease 4,351 square feet of space located in Irvine, California for $5,439 per month with 3 percent annual increases starting

+Added: The ROU asset and lease liability for this sublease agreement as of September 30, 2020 are $148 thousand
+Added: and $164 thousand, respectively.
+Added: The lease term begins July 1, 2020 and ends May 31, 2023.

−Removed: 2014-09, “

−Removed: Revenue Recognition .
−Removed: The standard was originally set to become effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.
−Removed: In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
−Removed: Deferral of the Effective Date,”
−Removed: which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, thereby delaying the effective date of the standard to January 1, 2018, with an option that permitted companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date.
−Removed: Early adoption prior to the original effective date was not permitted.
−Removed: The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for

−Removed: Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
−Removed: those goods or services.
−Removed: This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
−Removed: Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No.
−Removed: 2014-12 and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or the timing of when we recognize revenue.
−Removed: In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “
−Removed: Inventory (Topic 330):
−Removed: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ”, which provides new guidance regarding the measurement of inventory.
−Removed: The new guidance requires most inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
−Removed: The standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.
−Removed: The standard applies to companies other than those that measure inventory using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method.
−Removed: The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods.
−Removed: Early application is permitted.

−Removed: 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
−Removed: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, that amends existing guidance around classification and measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities.
−Removed: Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments.
−Removed: Under the new guidance, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.
−Removed: For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the cost method is also eliminated.
−Removed: However, most entities will be able to elect to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, and plus or minus subsequent adjustments for observable price changes.
−Removed: The standard also requires that financial assets and liabilities be disclosed separately in the notes to the financial statements based on measurement principle and form of financial asset.
