NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements.
Preparing condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies, product life cycles and inventory obsolescence, bad debts, sales returns, share-based compensation, forfeiture rates, the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns, and determining when investment impairments are other-than-temporary. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Qualstar Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment. In limited circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass upon destination or acceptance or when collection is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such events occur.
Service contracts are sold by Qualstar to customers for a period of time to provide product support after the warranty expires. The service contracts allow customers to call Qualstar for technical support, replace defective parts and to have onsite service provided by Qualstar’s third party contract service provider. The Company records revenues for contract services at the amount of the service contract, but such amount is deferred at the beginning of the service term and amortized ratably over the life of the contract.
Deferred service revenue is shown separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current and long term. At June 30, 2017, we had deferred service revenue of approximately $950,000. At December 31, 2016, we had deferred service revenue of approximately $892,000.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based on an assessment of the collectability of specific accounts and the overall condition of accounts receivable. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, specific trade receivables, historical bad debts, customer credits, customer credit-worthiness and changes in customers’ payment terms and patterns are analyzed. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make additional payments, then additional allowances may be needed. Likewise, if it is determined that more of our receivables may be realized in the future than previously estimated, we would adjust the allowance to increase income in the period of this determination.
Inventory Valuation
We record inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. We assess the value of our inventories periodically based upon numerous factors including expected product or material demand, current market conditions, technological obsolescence, current cost and net realizable value. If necessary, we write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence, potential shrinkage, or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If technology changes more rapidly than expected, or market conditions become less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Warranty Obligations
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. We engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including active monitoring and evaluation of product failure rates, material usage and estimation of service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. However, should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, then revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Historically, our warranty costs have not been significant.
Legal and Other Contingencies
The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When legal costs that the entity expects to incur in defending itself in connection with a loss contingency accrual are expected to be material, the loss should factor in all costs and, if the legal costs are reasonably estimable, they should be accrued in accordance with ASC 450, regardless of whether a liability can be estimated for the contingency itself. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. Changes in these factors could materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, with no changes to previously reported stockholders equity or net income (loss)
.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We measure fair value on all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least quarterly).
QUALSTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to determine fair value of the award at the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. The inputs for the model require the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions regarding the expected volatility of the stock, the expected term the average employee will hold the option prior to the date of exercise, expected future dividends, and the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. Changes in these inputs and assumptions could occur and actual results could differ from these estimates, and our results of operations could be impacted.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We estimate our tax liabilities based on current tax laws in the statutory jurisdictions in which we operate in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” These estimates include judgments about deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, as well as about the realization of deferred tax assets. We may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures.
We maintain a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of net deferred tax assets in future years. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for such a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, the valuation allowance would be decreased accordingly.
We may periodically undergo examinations by the federal and state regulatory authorities and the Internal Revenue Service. We may be assessed additional taxes and/or penalties contingent on the outcome of these examinations. Our previous examinations have not resulted in any unfavorable or significant assessments.
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting guidance not yet adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard that will remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, and simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 as an update of ASU 2014-09. The purpose is to allow more time to implement the guidance in Update 2014-09. This Update defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is still evaluating the impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
QUALSTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For related party leases, the basis will be the legally enforceable terms and conditions of the arrangement. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-
15 to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is not expected to materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is not expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 clarifying the definition of a business and adding guidance to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is not expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity, when applying the guidance for stock compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is not expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS, CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK, AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
We have no outstanding debt nor do we utilize auction rate securities or derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
Cash and other investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. As all sales are currently made in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets.

NET EARNINGS
PER SHARE
Basic net earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net earnings per share has been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average common shares outstanding plus dilutive securities or other contracts to issue common stock as if these securities were exercised or converted to common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income or loss per share for the periods indicated, in thousands, except per share amounts.

Accrued Warranty
We provide for the estimated costs of hardware warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs based on historical and projected product failure rates, historical and projected repair costs, and knowledge of specific product failures (if any). The specific hardware warranty terms and conditions for tape libraries generally include parts and labor over a three-year period. The warranty for power supplies is generally three years. We regularly re-evaluate our estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

NOTE 9 -
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On June 14, 2016, upon receiving approval from the majority of the Company’s shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting, the Company implemented a one-for-six reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of all outstanding shares of common stock, effective as of the close of business on June 14, 2016. The reverse split decreased the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 12,253,117 to approximately 2,042,020. The Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock remains at 50,000,000 and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock of the Company remains at 5,000,000. All share amounts in these financial statements reflect the 1-for-6 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock, retroactively.

– LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to a variety of claims and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. We accrue loss contingencies in connection with our commitments and contingencies, including litigation, when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2017, we had accrued aggregate current liabilities of $41
,000 in probable fees and costs related to legal matters
.
NOTE 11
– INCOME TAXES
We did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes for either the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or June 30, 2016, due to our prior year operating losses. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets based on the Company’s assessment regarding the realizable nature of these net deferred tax assets in future periods
.

– SEGMENT INFORMATION
In its operation of the business, management reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP. Our two segments are Power Supplies and Data Storage. The two segments discussed in this analysis are presented in the way we internally manage and monitor performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Allocations for internal resources were made to the business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The power supplies segment tracks certain assets separately, and all others are recorded in the storage segment for internal reporting presentations. The types of products and services provided by each segment are summarized below:
Power Supplies
— The Company designs and markets high-efficiency switching power supplies. We utilize contract manufacturers in Asia to produce the power supply products. These power supplies are used to convert AC line voltage to DC voltages, or DC voltages to other DC voltages for use in a wide variety of electronic equipment such as communications equipment, industrial machine tools, wireless systems, as well as medical and gaming devices. We sell our products globally through authorized resellers and directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

– SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
New Subsidiary
Effective July 1, 2017 a wholly-owned subsidiary called N2Power, Inc., was created to operate the internal business unit called N2Power. This internal business unit is reflected in our SEC filings under the power supplies business segment. Further, following the establishment of N2Power, Inc., all assets (and liabilities) belonging to this subsidiary have been separated from the assets (and liabilities) of Qualstar. This will leave Qualstar, as sole shareholder owning all of the equity interests in N2Power, Inc.
Executive Bonus
On August 3, 2017, at the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved a $100,000 bonus to Steven N. Bronson, CEO based on the Company’s performance. The bonus was based on the Company achieving profitability and positive cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
