AUTOSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2021
Note A: Basis of Presentation
On July 21, 2021 a holding company reorganization was completed (the "Reorganization") in which Image Sensing Systems, Inc. ("ISNS") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new parent company named "Autoscope Technologies Corporation" ("Autoscope"), which became the successor issuer to ISNS. As a result of the Reorganization, Autoscope replaced ISNS as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "AATC," and outstanding shares of ISNS's common stock automatically converted into shares of common stock of Autoscope. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" or its management or business at any time before the effective date of the Reorganization refer to those of ISNS as the predecessor company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and thereafter to Autoscope and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as otherwise specified or to the extend the context otherwise indicates. The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company's shareholders. Autoscope was incorporated on April 23, 2021 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and ISNS was incorporated in Minnesota on December 20, 1984. The Company develops and markets video and radar processing products for use in applications such as intersection control, highway, bridge and tunnel traffic management and traffic data collection. We sell our products primarily to distributors and also receive royalties under a license agreement with a manufacturer/distributor for certain of our products. Our products are used primarily by governmental entities.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is the opinion of management that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC.
Cash Dividend
On April 28, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash dividend of $
On August 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash dividend of $0.12 per share to shareholders of record on the close of business on August 23, 2021, which is payable to shareholders on August 30, 2021.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following are particularly important to the portrayal of the Company's results of operations and financial position and may require the application of a higher level of judgment by the Company's management and, as a result, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: | |
● | Identification of a contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
● | Identification of performance obligations in the contract; |
● |
Determination of the transaction price; |
● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |

Revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 consists of the following (in thousands); revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes when or if it has been determined that we are acting as a pass-through agent:

2021 | 2020 | |||||||||
Product sales | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||
Royalties | ||||||||||||
Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ |
Product Sales:
Product revenue is generated primarily from the direct sales of our RTMS radar systems worldwide and our Autoscope video systems in Europe and Asia. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the amount we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Certain product sales may contain multiple performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes. Multiple performance obligations may include hardware, software, installation services, training, support, and extended warranties. In arrangements where we have multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the relative stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable stand-alone prices charged to customers. For performance obligations without observable stand-alone prices charged to customers, we evaluate the adjusted market assessment approach, the expected cost plus margin approach, and stand-alone sales to estimate the stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue for services such as maintenance, repair, and technical support is recognized either as the service is performed or ratably over the defined contractual period for service maintenance contracts. From time to time, our payment terms may vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. Revenue for extended warranties are deferred until the coverage period and then recognized ratably over the extended warranty term.
We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.
We record provisions against sales revenue for estimated returns and allowances in the period when the related revenue is recorded based on historical sales returns and changes in end user demand.
Royalties:
Econolite Control Products, Inc. (“Econolite”) is our licensee that sells our Autoscope video system products in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean. The royalty of approximately

Inventories
Inventories are primarily electronic components and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined under the first-in, first-out accounting method.
Income Taxes
We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of certain tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of the deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover the remaining net realizable value of our deferred tax assets. If all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results. We recognize penalties and interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Intangible Assets
We capitalize certain software development costs related to software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalized software development costs include purchased materials, services, internal labor and other costs associated with the development of new products and services. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time future costs incurred are capitalized until the product is available for general release to the public. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is generally established once product and detailed program designs have been completed, uncertainties related to high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing, and we have established that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available for production of the product. Once a software product is available for general release to the public, capitalized development costs associated with that product will begin to be amortized to cost of sales over the product's estimated economic selling life, using the greater of straight-line or a method that results in cost recognition in future periods that is consistent with the anticipated timing of product revenue recognition.
Capitalized software development costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability, which is impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenues and expenses for these software products, as well as other factors such as changes in product technologies. Any portion of unamortized capitalized software development costs that are determined to be in excess of net realizable value have been expensed in the period in which such a determination is made. Subsequent to reaching technological feasibility for certain software products, we capitalized approximately $
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited by future cash flows and reviewed for impairment. At both June 30, 2021 and 2020, we determined there was

Note B: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements recently adopted
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)." ASU 2018-13 eliminates, amends and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that annual period, which is our fiscal year 2020. We adopted these changes as of January 1, 2020; however, there are no required changes that apply to our fair value measurements disclosures.
Note C: Fair Value Measurements
The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:
Level 1: |
observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
|
Level 2: |
inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
Level 3: |
unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value
Certain of our financial instruments are not measured at fair value and are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value, based on their short-term nature or variable interest rate. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current financial assets and liabilities.

Note E: Operating Leases
The Company is subject to various non-cancelable operating leases for office space and IT equipment expiring at various dates through November 2022. These leases do not have significant rent escalation, holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions.
Most of these leases include an option to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities because they are not reasonably certain of exercise. We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term.
Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. We used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. We have a centrally managed treasury function; therefore, based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, we apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate.
The cost components of our operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

On July 28, 2021 ISNS and Spruce Tree Centre L.L.P. entered into Amendment XV to Office Lease Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amended the original Office Lease Agreement dated as of November 24, 1998 by and between ISNS and Spruce Tree (the "Original Lease"), as such Original Lease was subsequently amended (as so amended, the "Lease"). The Amendment was signed by Spruce Tree on July 28, 2021. The Lease term was to expire on July 31, 2021. The Amendment, which is effective August 1, 2021, extends the Lease through March 31, 2022. In addition, the Amendment increases the monthly rent from $16,660 to $16,960 for the period from August 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

Note I: Income (loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, shares subject to certain outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted weighted average shares outstanding because the exercise of those options or the vesting of those restricted stock awards would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding. As a result, stock options and restricted stock awards to acquire

Note J: Segment Information
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and management regularly review financial information for the Company's discrete operating segments. Based on similarities in the economic characteristics, nature of products and services, production processes, type or class of customer served, method of distribution and regulatory environments, the operating segments have been aggregated for financial statement purposes and categorized into
Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. RTMS is our radar product line, and revenue consists of international and North American product sales. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment. All segment revenues are derived from external customers.
Operating expenses and total assets are not allocated to the segments for internal reporting purposes. Due to the changes in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.

Litigation
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with GAAP, we record a liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to any currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.
Note M: Risks and Uncertainties
In December 2019, the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, called COVID-19, originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread worldwide, including to the U.S. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to the U.S. and global economy and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak is continually evolving and, as additional cases and variants of the virus are identified, many countries, including the U.S., have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, and mandatory closures of businesses. Certain states and cities, including where we or the third parties with whom we engage operate, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and restrictions on the types of construction projects that may be undertaken.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic; the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the adoption, effectiveness, and availability of COVID-19 vaccines; the effect of any relaxation of current restrictions in the community and regions in which we, our customers and end users do business; and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation preclude any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and it has had, and probably will continue to have, the effect of exacerbating many of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 including, but not limited to, the following:
21 |
Overview
Reorganization. On July 21, 2021, a holding company reorganization was completed (the “Reorganization”) in which Image Sensing Systems, Inc. ("ISNS") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new parent company named “Autoscope Technologies Corporation” ("Autoscope"), which became the successor issuer to ISNS. As a result of the Reorganization, Autoscope replaced ISNS as the public company trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “AATC,” and outstanding shares of ISNS’s common stock automatically converted into shares of common stock of Autoscope. As used in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" or its management or business at any time before the effective date of the Reorganization refer to those of ISNS as the predecessor company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and thereafter to Autoscope and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as otherwise specified or to the extent the context otherwise indicates. The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company’s shareholders. Autoscope was incorporated on April 23, 2021 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and ISNS was incorporated in Minnesota on December 20, 1984.
General. We are a leading provider of above-ground detection products and solutions for the intelligent transportation systems (“ITS”) industry. Our family of products, which we market as Autoscope® video or video products (“Autoscope”), RTMS® radar or radar products (“RTMS”), and IntellitraffiQ® or iQ products, provides end users with the tools needed to optimize traffic flow and enhance driver safety. Our technology analyzes signals from sophisticated sensors and transmits the information to management systems and controllers or directly to users. Our products provide end users with complete solutions for the intersection and transportation markets.
Our technology is a process in which software, rather than humans, examines outputs from various types of sophisticated sensors to determine what is happening in a field of view. In the ITS industry, this process is a critical component of managing congestion and traffic flow. In many cities, it is not possible to build roads, bridges and highways quickly enough to accommodate the increasing congestion levels. On average, United States commuters lose 99 hours a year in congestion, which costs motorists $88 billion a year in time, an average of $1,377 per driver (per INRIX 2019 Global Traffic scorecard). We believe this growing use of vehicles will make our ITS solutions increasingly necessary to complement existing and new roadway infrastructure to manage traffic flow and optimize throughput.
We believe our solutions are technically superior to those of our competitors because they have a higher level of accuracy, limit the occurrence of false detection, are generally easier to install with lower costs of ownership, work effectively in a multitude of light and weather conditions, and provide end users the ability to manage inputs from a variety of sensors for a number of tasks. It is our view that the technical advantages of our products make our solutions well suited for use in ITS markets.
We believe the strength of our distribution channels positions us to increase the penetration of our technology‑driven solutions in the marketplace. We market our Autoscope video products in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through exclusive agreements with Econolite Control Products, Inc. (“Econolite”), which we believe is the leading distributor of ITS intersection control products in these markets.
We market the RTMS radar systems to a network of distributors globally. On a limited basis, we may sell directly to the end user. We market our Autoscope video products outside the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through a combination of distribution and direct sales channels through our office in Spain. Our end users primarily include governmental agencies and municipalities.
The following discussion of period-to-period changes and trends in financial statement results under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" aligns with the financial statement presentation discussed above.
Trends and Challenges in Our Business
We believe the expected growth in our business can be attributed primarily to the following global trends:
We believe our continued growth primarily depends upon:
22 |
Because the majority of our end users are governmental entities, we are faced with challenges related to potential delays in purchasing decisions by those entities and changes in budgetary constraints. These contingencies could result in significant fluctuations in our revenue among periods. The ongoing economic environment in Europe and the United States and the COVID-19 pandemic declared in March 2020 and the outbreak of new COVID-19 variants are further adding to the unpredictability of purchasing decisions, creating more delays than usual and decreasing governmental budgets, and they are likely to continue to affect our revenue.
Key Financial Terms and Metrics
Revenue. We derive revenue from two sources: (1) royalties received from Econolite for sales of the Autoscope video systems in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean and (2) revenue received from the direct sales of our RTMS radar systems and our Autoscope video systems in Europe and Asia. Autoscope video royalties are calculated using a profit sharing model in which the gross profits on sales of product made through Econolite are shared equally with Econolite. This royalty arrangement has the benefit of decreasing our cost of revenues and our selling, marketing and product support expenses because these costs and expenses are borne primarily by Econolite. Although this royalty model has a positive impact on our gross margin, it also negatively impacts our total revenue, which would be higher if all the sales made by Econolite were made directly by us. The royalty arrangement is exclusive under the long-term Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology Agreement dated as of June 11, 1991, as amended (the “Econolite Agreement”), between the Company and Econolite.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses fall into three categories: (1) selling, marketing and product support; (2) general and administrative; and (3) research and development. Selling, marketing and product support expenses consist of various costs related to sales and support of our products, including salaries, benefits and commissions paid to our personnel; commissions paid to third parties; travel, trade show and advertising costs; second-tier technical support for Econolite; and general product support, where applicable. General and administrative expenses consist of certain corporate and administrative functions that support the development and sales of our products and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. These expenses include management, supervisory and staff salaries and benefits; legal and auditing fees; travel; rent; and costs associated with being a public company, such as board of director fees, listing fees and annual reporting expenses. Research and development expenses consist mainly of salaries and benefits for our engineers and third party costs for consulting and prototyping. We measure all operating expenses against our annually approved budget, which is developed with achieving a certain operating margin as a key focus. We also include any restructuring costs in operating expenses.
23 |
Non-GAAP Operating Measures. We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). This non-GAAP information excludes the impact of depreciating fixed assets and amortizing intangible assets, and it may exclude other non-recurring items. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Seasonality. Our quarterly revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past due to the seasonality of our business. Our first quarter generally is the weakest due to weather conditions that make roadway construction more difficult in parts of North America, Europe and northern Asia. We expect such seasonality to continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, our international revenues regularly contain individually significant sales. This can result in significant variations of revenue between periods. Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our financial results should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. No assurance can be given that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
Segments. We currently operate in two reportable segments: Intersection and Highway. Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. RTMS and IntellitraffiQ are our radar product lines, and revenue consists of sales to external customers. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment. As a result of business model changes and modifications in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.

Gross margin percent for product sales decreased to 45.6% in the first six months of 2021 from 52.7% in the first six months of 2020. Product sales gross profit decreased $46,000 or 3.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in product gross margin percent was primarily the result of a reduction in the warranty reserve in the first six months of 2020 and no comparable reduction in the same period in 2021.
Gross margin percent for royalty sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 96.1% from 95.9% in the same period in 2020. Gross profit from royalties increased $262,000, or 12.3%, in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. Gross margin percent for royalty sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to 95.6% from 95.8% in the same period in 2020. Gross profit from royalties decreased $32,000, or 0.8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in royalty gross margin percent was due to decreased royalty sales during the first six months of 2020, as well as slightly higher software amortization expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.5 million, or 40.0% of total revenue, in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $1.6 million, or 46.1% of total revenue in the second quarterof 2020, and it decreased to $2.9 million, or 42.6% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2021 compared to $3.5 million, or 53.0% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2020. The year-over-year decrease for the first six months is due to the incremental consulting and legal costs incurred in 2020 related to the efforts around evaluating strategic alternatives. The savings realized in the first six months of 2021 were partially offset by legal and consulting fees associated with the formation of Autoscope.
Research and development expense decreased to $541,000, or 14.3% of total revenue, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, from $842,000, or 24.9% of total revenue, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, and it decreased to $1.0 million or 15.3% of total revenue, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 from $1.7 million, or 26.6% of total revenue, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was due to higher capitalized software development costs in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 of $178,000 compared to capitalized software costs of $22,000 for the same period in 2020. After normalizing for software development costs, overall research and development expenditures decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower headcount.
The Company recognized other income of $931,000 for the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loan and accrued interest during the first six months of 2021.
There was $152,000 and $221,000 of income tax expense recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $357,000 and $57,000 of income tax expense recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Consolidated net income was $752,000, or $0.14 per basic share and diluted share, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net income of $150,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the comparable prior year period. Consolidated net income was $1.9 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net income of $39,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the comparable prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2021, we had $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $8.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $709,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $969,000 in the same period in 2020. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year period is primarily attributed to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.
Net cash used for investing activities was $186,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $124,000 in the same period in 2020. The increase of the amount of net cash used for investing activities in the first six months of 2021 compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of higher capitalized internal software development costs compared to the prior year period.
Net cash used for financing activities was $671,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $918,000 in the same period in 2020 due to a cash dividend of $0.12 per share to shareholders paid to shareholders in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, whereas in the second quarter of 2020, we received the proceeds from the PPP loan.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2021 and cash provided by operating activities will satisfy our projected working capital needs, investing activities, and other cash requirements for at least one year from June 30, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not participate in transactions or have relationships or other arrangements with an unconsolidated entity, including special purpose and similar entities, or other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Approximately 20% of our revenue has historically been derived from shipments to customers outside the United States, and a large portion of this revenue is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our international subsidiaries have functional currencies other than our U.S. dollar reporting currency and, occasionally, transact business in currencies other than their functional currencies. These non-functional currency transactions expose us to market risk on assets, liabilities and cash flows recognized on these transactions.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies decreases the value of foreign currency-denominated revenue and earnings when translated into U.S. dollars. Conversely, a weakening of the U.S. dollar increases the value of foreign currency-denominated revenue and earnings. A 10% adverse change in foreign currency rates could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Should any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted.
