LANTRONIX, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The Company
Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company,” “Lantronix,”
“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a global provider of secure data access and management for Internet
of Things (“IoT”) and information technology assets. Our mission is to be the leading provider of IoT gateways that
enable companies to dramatically simplify the creation, deployment, and management of IoT projects while providing secure access
to data for applications and people.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Lantronix have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.
GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on August 24, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the consolidated financial position of Lantronix at March 31, 2017, the consolidated results of our operations for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently
involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test,
which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the new guidance, a goodwill impairment will be the amount by which
a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Companies will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative
assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance will be effective for Lantronix for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates
after January 1, 2017. We are currently considering the effective date on which we plan to adopt this guidance.
In March 2016, FASB issued accounting guidance that changes
how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Among other things, under the new guidance companies
will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), but
will instead record such items as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. Companies
will apply this guidance prospectively. Another component of the new guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election
for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards, whereby forfeitures can be estimated,
as required historically, or recognized when they occur. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures when they occur needs
to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. Lantronix adopted this guidance early for the fiscal year beginning July
1, 2016. In connection with the adoption, we have elected to recognize the impact of forfeitures on our share-based compensation
expense as such forfeitures occur. Accordingly, as of July 1, 2016, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately
$6,000 to increase APIC and accumulated deficit. Going forward, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material
effect on our financial statements.
In February 2016, FASB issued an accounting standard that revises
lease accounting guidance. The standard requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets, but recognize expenses on
their income statements in a manner similar to the previous guidance. The standard will be effective for Lantronix in the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial
statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, FASB issued an accounting standard which requires
management of an entity to assess, for each annual and interim period, if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern within one year of the financial statement issuance date. The definition of substantial doubt within
the new standard incorporates a likelihood threshold of “probable” similar to the use of that term under current U.S.
GAAP for loss contingencies. Certain disclosures are required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the entity’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The standard became effective for Lantronix for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, FASB issued an accounting standard which superseded
existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The standard is a comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires
a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration
it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, among other things, companies will generally need to
use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. Recently, FASB has issued guidance clarifying certain
topics such as (i) gross versus net revenue reporting, (ii) identifying performance obligations and licensing and (iii) accounting
for shipping and handling fees and costs and accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer.
The standard permits two methods of adoption: (i) retrospectively
to each prior reporting period presented (the full retrospective method), or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of
initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently
anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented.
The standard will be effective for Lantronix in the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2018, with an option to adopt the standard in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017. We are currently considering
the effective date on which we plan to adopt the standard.
We currently anticipate the standard will have a material impact
on our financial statements and disclosures. We continue to make progress in assessing all potential impacts of the standard, including
any impacts of recently issued amendments. We currently believe the most significant impact of the standard relates to our accounting
for sales made to distributors under agreements which contain a limited right to return unsold products and price adjustment provisions.
Under the existing revenue guidance, we have historically concluded that the price to these distributors is not fixed and determinable
at the time we deliver products to them. Accordingly, revenue from sales to these distributors has not historically been recognized
until the distributor resells the product. By contrast, under the new standard, we expect to recognize revenue, including estimates
for applicable variable consideration, predominately at the time of shipment to these distributors.

Restructuring
In January 2017, we initiated a restructuring plan
with respect to our European sales team. The restructuring activities were substantially completed in the three months ended
March 31, 2017, and the related expenses consisted primarily of severance costs, facility lease termination costs and other
associated costs. These activities resulted in total charges of approximately $246,000, and are included in selling, general
and administrative expense within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2017.
The following table presents details of the liability we recorded
related to the restructuring plan:

The standard warranty periods we provide for our products typically
range from one to five years. We establish reserves for estimated product warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized based
upon our historical warranty experience, and for any known or anticipated product warranty issues. Our warranty obligations are
impacted by a number of factors, including historical warranty costs, actual product failure rates, service delivery costs, and
the use of materials. If our actual results are different from our assumptions, increases or decreases to warranty reserves could
be required, which could impact our cost of revenue and gross margins.
The following table presents details of
our warranty reserve:

We have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended,
the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), which provides a $4.0 million revolving line of
credit, based on qualified accounts receivable. The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of September 30, 2018.
The Loan Agreement provides for an interest rate per annum equal
to the greater of the prime rate plus 0.75% or 4.25%, provided that we maintain a monthly quick ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 or greater.
The quick ratio measures our ability to use our cash and cash equivalents maintained at SVB to extinguish or retire our current
liabilities immediately. If this ratio is not met, the interest rate will become the greater of the prime rate plus 1.25% or 4.25%.
At March 31, 2017, we met the 1.0 to 1.0 or greater quick ratio.
The Loan Agreement also includes a covenant requiring us
to maintain a certain Minimum Tangible Net Worth (“Minimum TNW”), currently required to be approximately $6.0
million. The Minimum TNW is subject to adjustment upward to the extent we raise additional equity or debt financing or
achieve net income in future quarters. Our Actual Tangible Net Worth (“Actual TNW”) is calculated as total
stockholders’ equity, less goodwill.
The following table presents the Minimum
TNW compared to our Actual TNW:

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, a total of 187,500
RSUs vested pursuant to a RSU grant made in April 2016 to Jeffrey Benck, our chief executive officer. In connection with the vesting
of these RSUs, we issued approximately 112,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Benck, and withheld the remaining approximately
76,000 shares for purposes of employee payroll taxes.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”)
is intended to provide employees with an opportunity to purchase our common stock through accumulated payroll deductions at the
end of a specified purchase period. Each of our employees (including officers) is eligible to participate in the ESPP, subject
to certain limitations as set forth in the ESPP.

If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying

Future share-based compensation expense and unearned share-based compensation will increase to the extent that we grant additional
share-based awards.
We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes.

The difference between our effective tax rates in the periods
presented above and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to a tax benefit from our domestic losses being recorded with a
full valuation allowance, as well as the effect of foreign earnings taxed at rates differing from the federal statutory rate.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we
believe it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. As a result of our cumulative losses and uncertainty
of generating future taxable income, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of
March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings
and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted
with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However, regardless of the
outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management time and resources, and other
factors.

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations and reflect our plans,
estimates and anticipated future financial performance. See the section of this Report entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information. These statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors,
including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report.
Overview
Lantronix, Inc., which we refer to herein as the Company, Lantronix,
we, our, or us, is a global provider of secure data access and management solutions for Internet of Things, or IoT, and information
technology, or IT, assets. Our mission is to be the leading supplier of IoT gateways that enable companies to dramatically simplify
the creation, deployment, and management of IoT projects while providing secure access to data for applications and people.
We conduct our business globally and manage our sales teams
by three geographic regions: the Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa, or EMEA; and Asia Pacific Japan, or APJ.
Products and Solutions Overview
We organize our products and solutions
into three product lines: IoT, IT Management and Other.
IoT
Our IoT products typically connect to one or more existing machines,
provide network connectivity and are designed to enhance the value and utility of machines by making the data from the machines
available to users, systems and processes or by controlling their properties and features over available networks.
Our IoT products currently consist of IoT Gateways and IoT Building
Blocks. IoT Gateways are designed to provide secure connectivity and the ability to add integrated device management and advanced
data access features. IoT Building Blocks provide basic secure machine connectivity and unmanaged data access.
The following product families are included in our IoT product
line: EDS, EDS-MD®, PremiereWave® product families, UDS, WiPort®, xDirect®, xPico®, xPico® Wi-Fi, xPress™
and XPort®,
IT Management
Our IT Management product line includes console management,
power management, and keyboard video mouse products that provide remote out-of-band management access to IT and networking infrastructure
deployed in test labs, data centers and server rooms.
The following product families are included in our IT Management
product line: SLB™, SLC™ 8000 and Spider™. In addition, our IT Management product line includes vSLM™,
a virtualized central management solution that simplifies secure administration of enterprise IT out-of-band devices and attached
equipment through a standard web browser. vSLM is designed to operate with both our IT Management products and certain other manufacturers’
IT infrastructure equipment.
Other
We categorize products that are non-focus or end-of-life as
Other. Our Other product line includes non-focus products such as the xPrintServer®, xSenso®, and WiBox®. In addition,
our Other product line includes end-of-life versions of our MatchPort®, SLC™, SLP™, and xPress Pro™ product
families.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to
Note 1
of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of
recent accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accounting policies that have the greatest impact on our
financial condition and results of operations and that require the most judgment are those relating to revenue recognition, warranty
reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation of deferred income taxes, and goodwill. These policies
are described in further detail in the Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and
estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to what was previously disclosed in the Form 10-K.
Results of Operations – Three
Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Summary
In the three months ended March 31, 2017 our net
revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 15.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in net revenue
was primarily due to sales growth in both our IoT and IT Management product lines, which was partially offset by a decrease
in sales in our Other product line. We had a net loss of $162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a
net loss of $456,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Our net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and
2016 included restructuring charges of $246,000 and $247,000, respectively. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31,
2017 was lower than for the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to the increase in net revenue and a 33.9%
increase in gross profit, which was partially offset by increased operating expenses of approximately 25.5%.

IoT
Net revenue from our IoT product line for the three
months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to growth in unit sales for a
variety of our product families in different geographic regions including (i) XPort in both the Americas and EMEA regions,
(ii) EDS and Premierwave XN in the Americas region and (iii) Premierwave 2050, a newer product, in the APJ region. The
increase in XPort sales in the Americas region was largely due to production purchases by two customers. The overall increase
was partially offset by decreases in unit sales of some of our legacy products, including the UDS and Micro product families.
IT Management
Net revenue from our IT Management product line for the
three months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to growth in unit
sales for the SLC 8000 product family, largely in the Americas region, and to a lesser extent, the EMEA and APJ regions. The
increase in SLC 8000 sales in the Americas region benefited from a couple of large customer deployments. We also
experienced growth in unit sales of our SLB product family, primarily in the Americas and APJ regions.
Other
Net revenue from our Other products, which are comprised
of non-focus and end-of-life product families, continued to decline in line with our expectations.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents net revenue less cost of revenue. Cost
of revenue consists primarily of the cost of raw material components, subcontract labor assembly from contract manufacturers, manufacturing
overhead, establishing or relieving inventory reserves for excess and obsolete products or raw materials, warranty costs, royalties
and share-based compensation.

quarter gross profit:

Gross profit as a percent of
revenue (referred to as “gross margin”) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 improved compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to improved product mix as some of our higher margin products, such as the SLC
8000 and XPort contributed to a larger portion of our net revenue. We also benefited from moderate decreases in costs
associated with overhead, scrap and warranty as compared to the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related
expenses, including salaries and commissions, share-based compensation, facility expenses, information technology, trade show expenses,
advertising, and legal and accounting fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to
higher headcount-related expenses, primarily related to variable compensation. The overall increase was partially offset by lower
spending on outside marketing programs and trade shows as we continue our efforts to reevaluate and focus our marketing activities.
In January 2017, we initiated a restructuring plan with
respect to our European sales team. The restructuring activities were substantially completed by March 31, 2017, and
the related restructuring and severance expenses consisted primarily of severance costs, facility lease termination costs and
other associated costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016,
the “Restructuring and severance expenses” line item in the table above includes (i) $223,000 in charges
for severance costs, lease termination costs and other associated costs related to a strategic realignment plan initiated in
February 2016 and (ii) $62,000 in other severance expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related
expenses, including share-based compensation, as well as expenditures to third-party vendors for research and development activities
and product certification costs. Our quarterly costs related to outside services and product certifications vary from period to
period depending on our level of development activities.

Research and development expenses increased primarily due
to higher personnel-related expenses, driven primarily by (i) higher variable compensation, (ii) additional headcount
attributable to the growth of our engineering team in India and (iii) higher product certification expenses. The overall
increase in research and development expenses was partially offset by a decrease in outside services for
engineering resources, as we have redirected a large portion of this spending toward funding the expansion of our team in
India.
Results of Operations – Nine Months
Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2016
Summary
In the nine months ended March 31, 2017 our net revenue increased
by $3.6 million, or 12.0%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to
sales growth in both our IoT and IT Management product lines, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales in our Other product
line. We had a net loss of $225,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to an increase in net revenue and a 24.1% increase
in gross profit. The overall decrease in our net loss was partially offset by a 12.0% increase in operating expenses.

IoT
Net revenue from our IoT product line for the nine
months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2016 due to growth in unit sales for a
variety of our product families in different geographic regions, including (i) XPort and EDS, both largely in the Americas
region, (ii) xDirect and Premierwave XN product families, largely in the Americas region and (iii) xPico in both the
Americas and EMEA regions. The overall increase was partially offset by decreases in unit sales of some of our legacy
products, including the UDS and Micro product families.
IT Management
Net revenue from our IT Management product line for the
nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to growth in unit
sales for the SLC 8000 product family, largely in the Americas region, and to a lesser extent, the EMEA and APJ regions. We
also experienced modest year-over-year growth in unit sales of our SLB product family, primarily in the Americas region.
Other
Net revenue from our Other products, which are
comprised of non-focus and end-of-life product families, continued to decline in line with our expectations.

Research and development expenses increased primarily due to
higher personnel-related expenses, driven by (i) higher variable compensation and (ii) additional headcount and facility expenses
attributable to the growth of our engineering team in India. The overall increase in research and development expenses was partially
offset by a decrease in outside services for engineering resources, as we have redirected a large portion of this
spending toward funding the expansion of our team in India.

We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
The difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a tax benefit from our domestic
losses being recorded with a full valuation allowance, as well as the effect of foreign earnings taxed at rates differing from
the federal statutory rate.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent that we
believe it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. As a result of our cumulative losses and uncertainty
of generating future taxable income, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of
March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Our principal sources of cash and liquidity include our existing
cash and cash equivalents, borrowings available under our loan agreement, and cash generated from operations. We believe that these
sources will be sufficient to fund our current requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other financial commitments
for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate that the primary factors affecting our cash and liquidity are net revenue and working
capital requirements.
Management defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid
deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. We maintain cash and cash equivalents balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. Management does not believe this concentration subjects
us to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. We frequently monitor
the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our investment policy primarily emphasizes safety
of principal and secondarily emphasizes maximizing yield.
Our future working capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including the timing and amount of our net revenue, any future restructuring or cost-cutting measures that we may implement
from time to time, research and development expenses, expenses associated with any strategic partnerships or acquisitions, infrastructure
investments and fundraising activities.
From time to time, we may seek additional capital from
public or private offerings of our capital stock, borrowings under our existing or future credit lines or other sources in
order to (i) develop or enhance our products, (ii) take advantage of strategic opportunities, (iii) respond to competition or
(iv) continue to operate our business. We currently have an effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the
SEC. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new
equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we issue debt
securities to raise additional funds, we may incur debt service obligations, become subject to additional restrictions that
limit or restrict our ability to operate our business, or be required to further encumber our assets. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine
months ended March 31, 2017 increased as compared to cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended March
31, 2016 primarily due to a decrease in our net loss to $225,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to our
$1.7 million net loss in the nine months ended March 31, 2016.
Inventories increased approximately $1.1 million, or
16.4%, as compared to June 30, 2016 as we have increased stock in certain products. The impact of the increase in inventories
on operating cash flows was largely offset by increases in (i) accrued payroll and related expenses, which are primarily
associated with accruals for variable compensation and (ii) other current liabilities, which are primarily associated with
deferred revenue for certain distributor customers. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended March
31, 2017 also increased due to a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately 10.7% from June 30, 2016 to March 31, 2017,
which was driven by differences in the timing of our sales and collections during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was related to capital
expenditures for the purchase of property and equipment, primarily related to tooling and test equipment, as well as acquisitions
of hardware and equipment for our software lab in India.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the
nine months ended March 31, 2017 resulted primarily from cash we received from the issuance of common stock to employees
in connection with stock option exercises and purchases made under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This was partially
offset by payments related to withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and capital
leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2017, we did not have any relationships with
unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, including structured finance or special purpose entities, that have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other purposes.
