Note (1) - General: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EVI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X related to interim period financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are necessary in order to state fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The June 30, 2022 balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions made may not prove to be correct, and actual results could differ from the estimates.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.
The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.
The Company’s growth strategy includes organic growth initiatives and business acquisitions pursuant to the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Note (2) – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
Note (3) – Recently Issued Accounting Guidance: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which will change the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other specified instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard will also require enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Other than as described above, management does not believe that accounting standards and updates which have been issued but are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note (4) – Acquisitions:
On September 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisitions of Aldrich Clean-Tech Equipment Corp. (“ACT”), a Massachusetts-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry, and K&B Laundry Service, LLC (“K&B”), a North Carolina-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. The total consideration for these two acquisitions consisted of approximately $
On November 1, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Wholesale Commercial Laundry Equipment Company SE, LLC (“WCL”), an Alabama-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. In connection with the transaction, the Company also assumed certain of the liabilities of WCL. The consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition consisted of $

Note (5) - Earnings Per Share: The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of the Company’s common stock subject to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are considered participating securities because they contain a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends (in the case of restricted stock awards) or dividend equivalents (in the case of restricted stock units) paid prior to vesting or forfeiture, if any, irrespective of whether the awards or units ultimately vest. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six and three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Company as Lessor
The Company derives a portion of its revenue from equipment leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering the equipment provided, maintenance, and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales type leases. Accordingly, revenue from the provision of the equipment is recognized upon delivery of the equipment and its acceptance by the customer. Upon the recognition of such revenue, an asset is established for the investment in sales type leases. Maintenance revenue and interest are recognized monthly over the lease term.
The future minimum lease payments receivable for sales type leases are as follows (in thousands):

The Company follows ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company’s accounting for income taxes in accordance with this standard did not result in a material adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes during the three or six months ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

Note (11) – Commitments and Contingencies: In the ordinary course of business, certain of the Company’s contracts require the Company to provide performance and payment bonds related to projects in process. These bonds are intended to provide a guarantee to the customer that the Company will perform under the terms of the contract and that the Company will pay subcontractors and vendors. If the Company fails to perform under the contract or pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. The Company is required to reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. No such performance or payment bonds were outstanding at December 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022.
The Company may from time to time become subject to litigation and other legal proceedings. Litigation and other legal proceedings may require the Company to incur significant expenses, including those relating to legal and other professional fees, as well as damages or other payments. Litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse outcomes in litigation or other legal proceedings could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, and operating results.

Company Overview
EVI Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.
The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.
The Company’s operating expenses consist primarily of (a) selling, general and administrative expenses, which are comprised primarily of salaries, and commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales, (b) expenses related to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of installation and service vehicles, and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases, and (c) operating expenses at the parent company, including compensation expenses, fees for professional services, other expenses associated with being a public company, and expenses in furtherance of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.
21
Growth Strategy
During 2015, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy. The “buy” component of the strategy includes the consideration and pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions which management believes would complement the Company’s existing business or otherwise offer growth opportunities for, or benefit, the Company. The Company generally seeks to structure acquisitions to include both cash and stock consideration. Acquisitions are effected through a wholly-owned subsidiary which acquires the business or assets of the acquired company, whether by an asset purchase or merger, and operates the acquired business following the transaction. In connection with each transaction, the Company, indirectly through its applicable wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumes certain of the liabilities of the acquired business. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, and results of operations of the acquired businesses following the respective closing dates of the acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As described in greater detail in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on September 1, 2022, the Company acquired Aldrich Clean-Tech Equipment Corp. (“ACT”), a Massachusetts-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry, and K&B Laundry Service, LLC (“K&B”), a North Carolina-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. The financial condition and results of operations of ACT and K&B subsequent to the September 1, 2022 closing date of such acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. In addition, as also described in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on November 1, 2022, the Company acquired Wholesale Commercial Laundry Equipment Company SE, LLC, (“WCL”), an Alabama-based distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related technical installation and maintenance services to the on-premise and vended laundry segments of the commercial laundry industry. The financial condition and results of operations of WCL subsequent to the November 1, 2022 closing date of such acquisition is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022.
The “build” component of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy involves implementing a growth culture at acquired businesses based on the exchange of ideas and business concepts among the management teams of the Company and the acquired businesses as well as through certain initiatives, which may include investments in additional sales and service personnel, new product lines, enhanced service operations and capabilities, new and improved facilities, and advanced technologies.
The Company pursues market share growth using a variety of strategies aimed at increasing the installed base of the wide range of commercial laundry equipment the Company represents. Certain market share growth tactics may, from time to time, result in lower gross margins. However, the Company believes that a greater installed base of equipment strengthens the Company’s existing customer relationships and may lead to increases in the total number of customers, consequently creating a larger and stronger customer base to which the Company may sell products and services. These may include the sale or provision of certain higher margin products and services and any additional products and services which the Company may offer or sell from time to time as a result of any business acquisitions, the sale or lease of complementary products, and expansion of its service operations. From time to time, the Company also enters into longer-term contracts, including to fulfill large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government, where the nature of, and competition for, such contracts may result in a lower gross margin as compared to other equipment sales. Despite the potential for a lower gross margin from such longer-term contracts, the Company believes that the long-term benefit from the increase in its installed equipment will outweigh the possible short-term impact to gross margin.
22
Further, as a value-added distributor and a provider of technical services in the commercial laundry industry, the Company partners with its customers to plan, design, install, and maintain their commercial laundry operations. The nature of the Company’s business not only requires an experienced and well-trained sales organization to procure customer orders, but also requires proper, timely, and cost-effective installation ranging from single units of equipment to complex multimillion dollar laundry systems. Such installations also require coordination and collaboration with the Company’s customers and any third parties they may retain. Consequently, the recognition of revenue and profit may from time to time be impacted by delays in construction and/or the preparation of customer facilities for the installation of purchased commercial laundry equipment and systems. This may result in decreased revenue and profit in a current period but a source of future revenue and profit through the ultimate fulfillment of the orders.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted the Company’s business and results may also in the future have adverse impacts. These factors include, but are not limited to: supply chain disruptions, which resulted in, and may continue to result in, delays in delivering products or services to the Company’s customers as well as increases in product costs; labor shortages and increases in the costs of labor; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to sickness or other impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; risks associated with vaccine mandates, including the potential loss of employees, fines for noncompliance and loss of, or future inability to secure, certain contracts, including with the federal government; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services, and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all. Further, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior.

Refer to Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance.
Results of Operations
Six and Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Six and Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2021
23
Revenues
Revenues for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 increased $41.6 million, or 33%, and $21.9 million, or 36%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increases in revenue are primarily attributable to continued improved conditions in connection with the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic during the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and the completion during the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 of customers projects previously delayed by the pandemic. Additionally, the increase in revenues was partially attributable to price increases established throughout the Company’s product lines and service offerings aimed at maintaining or increasing margins to cover incremental product and operating cost increases, as well as the revenues generated by the businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2022 (primarily Consolidated Laundry Equipment, Inc. and Central Equipment Company, LLC, which were acquired during February 2022) and the six months ended December 31, 2022, as described under “Growth Strategy” above and in greater detail in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 increased $14.9 million, or 43%, and $8.0 million, or 48%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increases were primarily the result of increased revenues and more favorable product and customer mix. The increases were also attributable to the Company’s efforts to drive higher margin sales opportunities from promoting solution selling as a value-added distributor. This resulted in an increase in gross margins from 27.7% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021 to 29.7% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2022 and from 27.7% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021 to 30.0% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating expenses increased by approximately $10.5 million, or 34%, and $5.3 million, or 34%, for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. These increases are primarily attributable to (a) operating expenses of acquired businesses, including additional operating expenses at the acquired businesses in pursuit of future growth and in connection with the Company’s optimization initiatives, (b) increases in selling costs, including commissions, from increases in revenues during the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022, as described above, (c) increases in payroll and related fees, and (d) increases in depreciation, amortization and stock compensation.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 was $1.0 million and $625,000, respectively, compared to $265,000 and $150,000 for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The increases in interest expense were attributable primarily to increases in the average outstanding debt balance and average effective interest rate incurred on outstanding borrowings.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.8% and 26.3% for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 24.5% and 35.7% for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. For the six-month period ended, the increases in the effective tax rate are attributable to an increase in the net impact of permanent book-tax differences resulting primarily from nondeductible compensation. For the three-month period ended, the decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to a decrease in the net impact of the book-tax differences resulting primarily from the nondeductible compensation.
Net Income
Net income for the six and three-months ended December 31, 2022 was $5.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to net income of $2.5 million and $528,000 for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The increases in net income were attributable primarily to the increases in revenue and the resulting gross profit, partially offset by the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense, all as described in further detail above.
24
Consolidated Financial Condition
The Company’s total assets increased from $230.8 million at June 30, 2022 to $246.7 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in current assets, including inventory and contract assets, as described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Working Capital.” The Company’s total liabilities increased from $113.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $122.0 million at December 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to an increase in customer deposits and long-term debt, partially offset by a decrease in contract liabilities. The increase in long-term debt was attributable to borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in excess of optional repayments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, cash increased by approximately $409,000 compared to a decrease of approximately $53,000 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s primary sources of cash are sales and borrowings under its credit facility. The Company’s primary uses of cash are purchases of the products sold by the Company, employee related costs, and the cash consideration paid in connection with business acquisitions.
Working Capital
Working capital increased from $30.8 million at June 30, 2022 to $45.6 million at December 31, 2022, primarily reflecting increases in inventory and contract assets, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and increases in customer deposits. The increase in inventory was primarily due to warehousing of inventory for fulfillment of contractual orders where either the customer is not ready to receive delivery of the product or only partial orders have been received from manufacturers as a result of continued supply chain constraints, as well as increases in product costs. The increase in contract assets is due in large part to the progress of certain large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to increased collection efforts and timing of receipt of payments from customers. The increase in customer deposits was due primarily to a greater number of new jobs that had deposits received during the period than jobs that were completed.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flow activity for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
Six Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Net cash provided (used) by: | ||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | (4,872 | ) | $ | (997 | ) | ||
| Investing activities | $ | (3,712 | ) | $ | (1,973 | ) | ||

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
25
Operating Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, operating activities used cash of $4.9 million compared to $1.0 million of cash used by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2021. This $3.9 million increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital offset by an increase in net income. The changes in working capital include increases in cash used from operating activities from changes in operating assets such as inventories and contract assets, and from changes in operating liabilities such as accounts payable and accrued expenses and customer deposits, partially offset by decreases to the cash used by operating activities from changes in operating assets such as accounts receivable and from changes in operating liabilities such as contract liabilities and accrued employee expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.7 million to $3.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $2.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021. This $1.7 million increase was attributable primarily to an increase in cash used in connection with acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, financing activities provided cash of $9.0 million compared to $2.9 million of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2021. The $6.1 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was attributable to proceeds from borrowings during the six months ended December 31, 2022 in excess of optional debt payments to fund changes in working capital and acquisitions.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a five-year revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, with an accordion feature to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $40 million for a total of $140 million. A portion of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans of up to a sublimit of $5 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit of up to a sublimit of $10 million.
Prior to the amendment described below, borrowings (other than swingline loans) under the Credit Agreement accrued interest at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) LIBOR plus a margin that ranged from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points, plus a margin that ranged from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans accrued interest calculated at the base rate determined in accordance with clause (b) of the preceding sentence plus a margin that ranged from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement had an initial term of five years with a scheduled maturity date of November 2, 2023.
On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date from November 2, 2023 to May 6, 2027 and, in connection with the phasing out of LIBOR, replace LIBOR with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (the “BSBY rate”). As a result, borrowings (other than swingline loans) under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) the BSBY rate plus a margin that ranges between 1.25% and 1.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the BSBY rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans generally bear interest at the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
26
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also contains other provisions which may restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, dispose of or acquire assets or businesses, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and capital expenditures, pay dividends, repurchase shares and enter into transactions with affiliates. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement and $38.8 million was available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash from operations and funds available under the Company’s Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and thereafter. The Company may also seek to raise funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities or the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured indebtedness, including in connection with acquisitions or other transactions pursued by the Company as part of its “buy-and-build” growth strategy.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing
The Company had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K at December 31, 2022.
Inflation
Inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company’s results during any of the reported periods. However, the Company faces risks relating to inflation, including the current inflationary trend, which may have an adverse impact on the market for the Company’s products and services, including that there is no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively increase the price of its products and services to offset increased costs.

Critical Accounting Policies
In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company makes estimates and assumptions, including those that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates and assumptions made may not prove to be correct, and actual results may differ from the estimates. The accounting policies that the Company has identified as critical to its business operations and to an understanding of the Company’s financial statements remain unchanged from those described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
See Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently issued accounting guidance.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company’s indebtedness subjects the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rates are subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions and the effect they may have on the Company are unpredictable. The Company’s indebtedness may also have other important impacts on the Company, including that the Company will be required to utilize cash flow to service the debt, indebtedness may make the Company more vulnerable to economic downturns, and the Company’s indebtedness subjects the Company to covenants and may place restrictions on its operations and activities, including its ability to pay dividends and take certain other actions. As described above, interest on borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement accrue at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) the BSBY rate plus a margin that ranged from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the BSBY rate plus 100 basis points, plus a margin that ranged from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $37.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement with a weighted average interest rate of 5.37%. Based on the amount outstanding at December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 1% increase in daily interest rates would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $370,000.
29
All of the Company’s export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located. The Company has, at times in the past, paid certain suppliers in Euros. The Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022.
The Company’s cash is maintained in bank accounts which bear interest at prevailing interest rates. At December 31, 2022, bank deposits exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
From time to time, the Company is involved in, or subject to, legal and regulatory claims, proceedings, demands or actions arising in the ordinary course of business. There have been no material changes with respect to such matters from the disclosure included in the “Legal Proceedings” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes in the risk factors that the Company faces from those disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
30
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The Company does not have in place any formal share repurchase plans or programs. Upon request by a recipient of awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan, the Company may issue shares upon the vesting of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units or the grant of stock awards net of the statutory tax withholding requirements that the Company pays on behalf of its employees. For financial statement purposes, the shares withheld are treated as being repurchased by the Company and are reflected as repurchases in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and shareholders’ equity as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued. The following table provides information concerning shares of the Company’s common stock treated as repurchased during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 in connection with the issuance of shares upon the vesting of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units or the grant of stock awards net of statutory tax withholding requirements:
| Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchased a Part of Publicly Announced Programs | Maximum Number of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program | ||||||||||||
| October 1 – October 31, 2022 | 118 | $ | 16.39 | — | — | |||||||||||
| November 1 – November 30, 2022 | 3,203 | 19.90 | — | — | ||||||||||||
| December 1 – December 31, 2022 | — | — | — | — | ||||||||||||
| Total | 3,321 | $ | 19.77 | — | — | |||||||||||
During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares other than shares treated as repurchased upon the vesting of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units or the grant of stock awards net of statutory tax withholding requirements as described and set forth above.
