40、s,including possible additional supply chain disruptions,workplacedislocations,economic contraction,and negative pressure on customer budgets and customer sentiment.When COVID-19 wasconsidered a public health emergency,we took actions to preserve our liquidity,manage cash flow and strengthen our fin
41、ancialflexibility.Such actions included,but were not limited to,reducing our discretionary spending,reducing capital expenditures,andimplementing restructuring activities.Our products require specialized parts,some of which became more difficult to source during the COVID-19 pandemic.Insome cases,we
42、 had to purchase such parts from third-party brokers at substantially higher prices.The Companys strategies tomitigate global supply chain issues included re-designing certain circuit boards to accommodate computer chips that are morereadily available in the market at more reasonable prices,and accu
43、mulating inventory in the first two quarters of the fiscal yearended March 31,2023(“Fiscal 2023”).We also placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of ournormal lead times to secure normal and incremental future supply and capacity.We curtailed the increase in inventory
44、 purchases and in particular components purchased in the secondary markets in thesecond half of Fiscal 2023,and the Company currently does not expect to accumulate inventory in the same magnitude in futureperiods.However,if the Company encounters additional supply chain constraints again in the futu
45、re,it may need to further adjustits operations to maintain sufficient liquidity.Restructuring ActivitiesTo help offset increases in supply chain costs in Fiscal 2023,on May 12,2022,our Board of Directors approved restructuringactivities to better position the Company for increased profitability and
46、growth.The Company incurred employee separation costsin relation to these activities,which were included in restructuring charges on the statement of operations(see Note 3,Restructuring Activities,to the Financial Statements for more information).2025/5/19 10:22iti-20240331https:/www.sec.gov/Archive

64、c sensors that collectively comprise our two sensor families Vantage and BlueTOAD.Increasingly,we bundle communications systems and traffic data collection applications(e.g.,VantageLive!and VantageARGUS CV)with our sensor products.The Vantage family of sensors uses advanced image processing technolo
65、gy,radar technology and other techniques to observemulti-modal traffic(e.g.,vehicle,bicycle,and pedestrian),translate these observations into structured data,and apply sophisticated,proprietary algorithms to this structured data to optimize traffic signal performance in real-time.Certain Vantage sen
66、sors applymachine learning techniques for enhanced object classification.In addition to detecting the presence of objects,our Vantagesystems record vehicle count,speed and other traffic information used in traffic management systems.Thus,our Vantage systemsgive traffic managers the tools to mitigate
67、 roadway congestion by visualizing and analyzing traffic patterns,allowing them tomodify traffic signal timing to improve traffic flow.Our various software components complement our Vantage detection systemsby providing integrated platforms to manage and view detection assets remotely over a network
68、 connection,as well as a mobileapplication for viewing anywhere.The Vantage family of sensors includes Vantage Apex,Vantage Next,VantagePegasus,VantageRadius,Vantage Vector,Velocity,SmartCycle,SmartCycle Bike Indicator,VersiCam,PedTrax,and P-Series products.Vantage Apex is the industrys first full 1
69、080p high-definition(“HD”)video and 4D/HD radar hybrid sensor withintegrated artificial intelligence(“AI”)algorithms.Vantage Apex provides precise and detailed detection,tracking andclassification of traffic.Vantage Next uses a powerful processor that enables future functional growth while maintaini
70、ng proven Iteris videodetection performance and reliability.The architecture supports expanding ITS applications and easily integrates withexisting technologies and is anticipated to integrate with future technologies.VantagePegasus offers wireless broadband communications for transportation systems

95、s chief operating decision maker(“CODM”)evaluates financial and operationalperformance holistically.As such,we report as a single operating segment.Market ConditionsCurrently,over 90%of our revenues are attributable to public-sector customers.Therefore,most of our revenues depend onstate and local g
96、overnment funding,and to a lesser extent federal governmental funding.In some cases,this funding is appropriatedannually through the respective legislative process.In other cases,various dedicated funding mechanisms exist to supporttransportation infrastructure and related projects,including,but not
97、 limited to dedicated sales and gas tax measures,vehicle andpermit fees,and other alternative dedicated funding sources.Additionally,some of our activities may be funded through bondmeasures.We believe that overall demand for our solutions will continue to depend,at least in part,on the federal and
98、local governmentsuse of funds,and as in the past,our business may be,at times,adversely affected by governmental budgetary issues.TheInfrastructure Investment and Jobs Act(“IIJA”)became effective on November 15,2021.The IIJA will contribute$1.2 trillion tofund physical infrastructure and public work
99、s,adding$550 billion to existing levels of transportation-specific funding.Within thatfunding pool,areas of direct relevance to Iteris include$110 billion for roads,bridges and major projects,$39 billion for publictransit,and$11 billion for transportation safety.However,delays in the obligation of a
100、ppropriated funding and debates related tothe federal debt ceiling may cause uncertainty regarding the availability of transportation funds in federal,state and local budgets.Although the pace of actual spending of IIJA funds may lag behind the appropriation process,sometimes significantly,the funds
101、appropriated can continue to be spent after the IIJA expires.Sales and MarketingWe market and sell our software,mobility data,managed services,traffic engineering,and mobility consulting services togovernment agencies pursuant to negotiated contracts that involve competitive bidding and specific qua
102、lification requirements.Most of our contracts are with federal,state and local municipal customers,and generally provide for cancellation or renegotiationat the option of the customer upon reasonable notice and fees paid for modification.We generally use selected members of ourtraffic engineering,mo
103、bility consulting,data science and product management teams on a regional basis to serve in sales andbusiness development functions.Our traffic engineering and mobility consulting service contracts generally involve long leadtimes and require extensive specification development,evaluation and price
104、negotiations.We sell our Vantage and BlueTOAD product families along with their related software bundles through both direct and indirectsales channels.Where we sell direct,we use a combination of our own sales personnel and outside sales organizations to sell,oversee installations,and support our p
105、roducts.Our indirect sales channel comprises a network of independent distributors in theU.S.and select international locations,which sell integrated systems and related products to the traffic management market.Ourindependent distributors are trained in and primarily responsible for the sales,insta
106、llation,set-up and support of our products.Theymaintain an inventory of demonstration traffic products from various manufacturers,who sell directly to government agencies andinstallation contractors.These distributors often have long-term arrangements with local government agencies in their respecti
107、veterritories for the supply of various products for the construction and renovation of traffic intersections,as they are generally well-known suppliers of various high-quality ITS products to the traffic management market.We periodically hold technical trainingclasses for our distributors and end-u
108、sers,and we maintain a full-time staff of customer support technicians throughout the U.S.toprovide technical assistance when needed.When appropriate,we modify or make changes to our distributor network toaccommodate the needs of the market and our customer base.We sell traffic and mobility data and
109、 software through a direct sales model to commercial enterprises,such as mediacompanies involved in providing real-time traffic data and traffic incident data to insurance companies,automotive OEMs and thetraveling public.We have historically had a diverse customer base.For the fiscal year ended Mar

113、 believe the addition of a second CMS partner will help to mitigate potential businessdiscontinuity should either CMS partner be unable to meet its commitments to Iteris.We also believe the addition of a second CMSpartner will improve our ability to negotiate possible pricing concessions.Production
114、volumes for our CMS partners typically isbased upon bi-annual forecasts that we generally adjust on a monthly basis to control inventory levels.Our CMS partners delivermanufactured subassemblies and components to our Santa Ana,California facility,which includes approximately 12,000 squarefeet of spa
115、ce,where they go through final assembly and testing prior to shipment to our customers.Our production facilitymaintains a Quality Management System that is currently certified as conforming to all requirements of the InternationalOrganization for Standardization(“ISO”)9001:2015 international standar
116、d.Additionally,we also purchase and resell certain third-party products at times in order to better service customer needs.These third-party products may be stored and shipped from ourSanta Ana facility or one of our regional distribution centers,depending on the type of third-party product and the
117、ultimatecustomer destination.Customer Support and ServicesWe provide warranty service and support for our products,as well as follow-up service and support for which we chargeseparately.Such service revenues were not a material portion of our total revenues for Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.We believe
118、customer support is a key competitive factor for our Company.BacklogOur total backlog of unfulfilled firm orders was approximately$123.8 million at March 31,2024.We typically expect torecognize revenues in the range of approximately two-thirds to three-quarters of our backlog as of the end of a fisc
119、al year in thesubsequent fiscal year.At March 31,2023,we had backlog of approximately$114.2 million.The 8.4%increase in backlog in thecurrent fiscal year was generally attributable to overall strong demand for our products and services,as well as the timing of thereceipt of some large contracts.Back
120、log is an operational measure representing future unearned revenues believed to be firm and earned under existingagreements,but it does not represent the total contract award if a firm purchase order or task order has not yet been issued underthe contract.Backlog is not included in deferred revenues
121、 on our balance sheets.Backlog does not include contract awards forwhich definitive contracts have not been executed.We believe backlog is a useful metric for investors,given its relevance to totalorders.The timing and realization of our backlog is subject to the inherent uncertainties of doing busi
122、ness with federal,state and localgovernments,particularly given budgetary constraints,cut-backs and other delays or reallocations of funding that these entitiestypically face.In addition,pursuant to the customary terms of our agreements with government contractors and other customers,our customers c
123、an generally cancel or reschedule orders with little or no penalties.Lead times for the release of purchase ordersoften can be affected by a variety of factors including the scheduling and forecasting practices of our individual customers,as wellas availability of installation labor and ancillary pa
124、rts related to installation which we do not manufacture or supply.These factorscan affect the timing of the conversion of our backlog into revenues.For these reasons,among others,our backlog at a particulardate might not be indicative of the timing of our future revenues.Product DevelopmentOur produ
125、ct development activities are mostly conducted at our facilities in Santa Ana,California,and Madison,Wisconsin,aswell as using additional employee and partner resources across North America.Our research and development costs and expenseswere approximately$10.0 million for Fiscal 2024 and$8.3 million
126、 for Fiscal 2023.We expect to continue to pursue variousproduct development programs and incur research and development expenditures in future periods.We believe our engineering and product development capabilities are a competitive strength.We strive to continuouslydevelop new products,technologies
127、,features and functionalities to meet the needs of our ever-changing markets,as well as toenhance,improve upon,and refine our existing product lines.We plan to continue to invest in the development of furtherenhancement and functionality of our ClearMobility Platform.92025/5/19 10:22iti-20240331http

129、 have a material adverse effect on our business,financialcondition and results of operations.The markets in which we operate are highly fragmented and subject to evolving national and regional quality,operations andsafety standards.Our competitors vary in number,scope and breadth of the products and
130、 services they offer.Our competitorsproviding managed services and consulting include a mix of local,regional and international engineering services firms.Ourcompetitors in software products(e.g.,performance measurement and management,advanced traveler information systems,assetmanagement software,an
131、d our commercial vehicle operations and vehicle safety compliance platforms)include universityaffiliated software organizations,venture backed software companies,and other multi-disciplinary hardware and softwarecorporations.In the market for our detection products,we compete with manufacturers and
132、distributors of other above-ground video cameraand radar detection systems and manufacturers and distributors of other non-intrusive detection devices(e.g.,microwave,infrared,radar,ultrasonic and magnetic detectors),as well as manufacturers and installers of in-pavement inductive loop products,which
133、have historically been,and currently continue to be,the predominant vehicle detection system in this market.Additionally,productssuch as BlueTOAD and VantagePegasus compete against various competitors in the travel-time and data communications markets,respectively.In general,the markets for the prod
134、ucts and services we offer are highly competitive and are characterized by rapidly changingtechnology and evolving standards.Many of our current and prospective competitors have longer operating histories,greater namerecognition,access to larger customer bases,and significantly greater financial,tec
135、hnical,manufacturing,distribution andmarketing resources than we do.As a result,they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging standards or technologies,or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products.It is also possible that new competitors or alliancesamong co
136、mpetitors could emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.We believe that our ability to compete effectively inour target markets will depend on a number of factors,including the success and timing of our new product development,thecompatibility of our products with a broad range of comput
137、ing systems,product quality and performance,reliability,functionality,price and service,and technical support.Our failure to provide services and develop and market products that compete successfullywith those of other suppliers and consultants in our target markets could have a material adverse eff
138、ect on our business,financialcondition and results of operations.Intellectual Property and Proprietary RightsOur ability to compete effectively depends in part on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of ourtechnology.Our policy is to obtain appropriate proprietary rights of pr
139、otection for any potentially significant new technology weacquire or develop.We currently have 34 issued U.S.patents,including:(i)17 relating to our advanced sensor technologies,(ii)10relating to our engineering and consulting services technologies and(iii)7 related to our traffic and mobility softw
140、are.We have 2pending patent applications in the U.S.We currently have 9 issued foreign patents and 1 foreign patent application related to ourtraffic and mobility software.The expiration dates of our patents range from 2026 to 2042.We intend to pursue additional patentprotection to the extent we bel
141、ieve it would be beneficial and cost-effective.In addition to patent laws,we rely on copyright and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights.We attempt to protectour trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with customers and suppliers,proprietary informationagree
142、ments with our employees and consultants,and other similar measures.We do not have any material licenses or trademarksother than those relating to product names.We cannot be certain that we will be successful in protecting our proprietary rights.While we believe our patents,patent applications,softw
143、are and other proprietary know-how have value,rapidly evolvingtechnology makes our future success dependent largely upon our ability to successfully achieve continuing innovation.102025/5/19 10:22iti-20240331https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/350868/000035086824000016/iti-20240331.htm14/91Table

145、e intellectual property rights of others.While the Company cannot accurately predict the outcomeof any such litigation,the Company is not a party to any litigation or other legal proceedings related to its intellectual property orthe intellectual property of others,the outcome of which,in management
146、s opinion,individually or in the aggregate,would have amaterial effect on the Companys results of operations,financial position or cash flows.An adverse outcome in such litigation orsimilar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties,require disputed rights to be license
147、d from others orrequire us to cease marketing or using certain products,any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,financialcondition and results of operations.In addition,the cost of addressing any intellectual property litigation claim,both in legal feesand expenses,as well
148、as from the diversion of managements resources,could be significant and could have a material adverseeffect on our business,financial condition and results of operations,regardless of a claims validity.EmployeesAs of March 31,2024,we employed 454 full-time employees and 18 part-time employees,for a
149、total of 472 employees.Noneof our employees are represented by a labor union,and we have never experienced a work stoppage.We believe our relations withour employees are good.Government RegulationOur manufacturing operations are subject to various federal,state and local laws and regulations,includi

153、this report.You should consider the following risks carefully inaddition to the other information contained in this report and our other filings with the SEC,including our subsequent quarterlyreports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K,before deciding to buy,sell or hold our common stock.Th
154、e risks anduncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company.Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known tous or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations.If any of these risks actually occurs,our business,financial condition,or results
155、 of operations could be seriously harmed.In that event,the market price for our common stock coulddecline and you may lose all or part of your investment.Risk Related to Our BusinessBecause we depend on government contracts and subcontracts,we face additional risks related to contracting with federa
156、l,state and local governments,including budgetary issues and fixed price contracts,that could adversely impact our futurerevenues and profitability.A significant portion of our revenues comes from contracts with governmental agencies,either as a general contractor,subcontractor or supplier.We antici
157、pate that revenues from government contracts will remain a significant portion of our revenues.Government business is,in general,subject to special risks and challenges,including:delays in funding and uncertainty regarding the allocation of funds to state and local agencies from the U.S.federalgover
158、nment,and delays or reductions in other state and local funding dedicated for transportation and ITS projects;other government personnel or budgetary constraints,including local governments not having sufficient personnel topursue projects;reaching the current federal debt ceiling;and/or cut-backs,d

162、 bond requirements;potential government shutdowns and related uncertainty with respect to the federal budget and debt ceiling;adverse weather conditions or other natural or health disasters or developments,such as COVID-19,and evacuationsand flooding due to hurricanes,or severe storms,can result in
163、our inability to perform work in affected areas;andinternational relations and international conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East,or othermilitary operations that could cause the temporary or permanent diversion of government funding from transportationor other infrast
164、ructure projects.Governmental budgets and plans are subject to change without warning.Certain risks of selling to governmental entitiesinclude dependence on appropriations and administrative allocation of funds,changes in governmental procurement legislation andregulations and other policies that ma
165、y reflect political developments or agendas,significant changes in contract scheduling,intense competition for government business and termination of purchase decisions for the convenience of the governmental entity.Substantial delays in purchase decisions by governmental entities and rescheduling o
166、r cancellation in purchase decisions bygovernmental entities,and the current constraints on government budgets at the federal,state and local level,and the ongoinguncertainty as to the timing and accessibility to government funding could cause our revenues and income to drop substantially orto fluct
167、uate significantly between fiscal periods.In addition,a number of our government contracts are fixed price contracts.As a result,we might not be able to recover anycost overruns we may incur.These fixed price contracts require us to estimate the total project cost based on preliminaryprojections of
168、the projects requirements.The financial viability of any given project depends in large part on our ability to estimatethese costs accurately and complete the project on a timely basis.In the event our costs for these projects exceed the fixedcontractual amount,we will be required to bear the excess
169、 costs.Such additional costs could adversely affect our financialcondition and results of operations.Moreover,certain of our government contracts are subject to termination or renegotiation at theconvenience of the government,which could result in a large decline in our revenues in any given period.
170、Our inability to addressany of the foregoing concerns or the loss or renegotiation of any material government contract could seriously harm our business,financial condition and results of operations.Our profitability could be adversely affected if we are not able to maintain adequate utilization of
171、our engineering andconsulting workforce.The cost of providing our engineering and mobility consulting services,including the extent to which we utilize our workforce,affects our profitability.The rate at which we utilize our workforce is affected by a number of factors,including:our ability to trans

234、t renewals on expiring contracts.Contract proposalsand negotiations are complex and frequently involve a lengthy bidding and selection process,which are affected by a number offactors,such as market conditions,financing arrangements and required governmental approvals.As a condition to contract awar
235、d,customers typically require us to provide a surety bond or letter of credit to protect the client should we fail to perform under theterms of the contract.Government entities are also taking more time between contract award and approval to commence workunder the contract,which delays our ability t
236、o recognize revenues under the contract.If negative market conditions materialize,orif we fail to secure adequate financing arrangements or the required governmental approval or fail to meet other requiredconditions,we might not be able to pursue,obtain or perform particular projects,which could red
237、uce or eliminate our profitability.We may be unable to attract and retain key personnel,including senior management,which could seriously harm ourbusiness.Due to the specialized nature of our business and the current tight labor market,we are highly dependent on the continuedservice of our executive
238、 officers and other key management,engineering and technical personnel.We believe that our success willdepend on the continued employment of a highly qualified and experienced senior management team to retain existing businessand generate new business.The loss of any of our officers,or any of our ot
239、her executives or key members of management couldadversely affect our business,financial condition,or results of operations(e.g.,loss of customers or loss of new businessopportunities).Our success will also depend in large part upon our ability to continue to attract,retain and motivate qualified an
240、dproductive engineering and other highly skilled technical personnel.Particularly in highly specialized areas,it has become moredifficult to retain employees and meet all of our employee needs in a timely manner,which may adversely affect our growth in thecurrent fiscal year and in future years.This
241、 situation is exacerbated by pressure from agency customers to contain our costs,whilesalaries for employees are on the rise.Although we intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit,train and retainqualified skilled personnel,we might not be able to attract and retain such employees
242、,which could impair our ability to performour contractual obligations,meet our customers needs,win new business,and adversely affect our future results.Likewise,thefuture success of our consulting services will depend on our ability to hire additional qualified engineers,planners and technicalperson
243、nel.Competition for qualified employees,particularly development engineers and software developers,is intense and hasbecome more so over time.We might not be able to continue to attract and retain sufficient numbers of such highly skilledemployees.Our inability to attract and retain additional key e
244、mployees or the loss of one or more of our current key employeescould adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Industry consolidation may lead to increased competition and may harm our operating results.There is a continuing trend toward industry consolidation in o
245、ur markets.We expect this trend to continue as companiesattempt to strengthen or hold their market positions in an evolving industry and as companies are acquired or are unable to continueoperations.For example,some of our current and potential competitors for transportation infrastructure solutions
246、 have madeacquisitions,or announced new strategic alliances,designed to position them with the ability to provide end-to-end technologysolutions for the transportation industry.Companies that are strategic alliance partners in some areas of our business may acquire orform alliances with our competit
247、ors,thereby reducing their business with us.We believe that industry consolidation may result instronger competitors that are better able to compete as sole-source vendors for public transportation agencies,municipalities,andcommercial entities.This could lead to more variability in our operating re

257、our Mobility Data Sets may become morerestrictive,and adversely affect performance of our products or the cost of data purchased.The announcement by Wejo Group Limited to appoint an administrator due to insolvency,and the change in strategy ofOtonomo Technologies Ltd.after being acquired,both reduce
258、d the number of suppliers provisioning data to us for use in some ofour Mobility Data sets.Although similar data can be supplied from other sources,reductions in the number of,or other futurechanges in,key data sources or availability could adversely affect the breadth,quality and value of our Mobil

260、 and reduce quality of roadway traffic analysist.Any of these occurrences could have a materialadverse effect on our reputation,profitability or revenue.Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist stockholders or others.We may be subject to actions or proposals from
261、stockholders or others that might not align with our business strategies or theinterests of our other stockholders.Responding to such actions can be costly and time-consuming,disrupt our business andoperations,and divert the attention of our Board of Directors,management,and employees from the pursu
262、it of our businessstrategies.Such activities could interfere with our ability to execute our strategic plan.Activist stockholders or others may createperceived uncertainties as to the future direction of our business or strategy which may be exploited by our competitors and maymake it more difficult
263、 to attract and retain qualified personnel and potential customers,and may affect our relationships withcurrent customers,vendors,investors,and other third parties.In addition,a proxy contest for the election of directors at our annualmeeting would require us to incur significant legal fees and prox

270、affect the market priceof our common stock.Furthermore,the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,which was signed into law in August 2022,imposes anon-deductible 1%excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases after December 31,2022,that exceed$1.0 million in ataxable year,which may impact the
271、tax efficiency of our stock repurchase program.COVID-19,or other future pandemics,could continue to have an adverse effect on our business.Although COVID-19 has entered an endemic stage,COVID-19(including new variants of COVID-19)or other futurepandemics may adversely affect the global economic cond
272、itions,including possible additional supply chain disruptions,workplacedislocations,economic contraction,and negative pressure on customer budgets and customer sentiment.When COVID-19 wasconsidered a public health emergency,we took actions to preserve our liquidity,manage cash flow and strengthen ou
273、r financialflexibility.Such actions included,but were not limited to,reducing our discretionary spending,reducing capital expenditures,andimplementing restructuring activities.Our products require specialized parts,some of which became more difficult to source during the COVID-19 pandemic.Insome cas
274、es,we had to purchase such parts from third-party brokers at substantially higher prices.The Companys strategies tomitigate global supply chain issues included re-designing certain circuit boards to accommodate computer chips that are morereadily available in the market at more reasonable prices,and
275、 accumulating inventory in the first two quarters of Fiscal 2023.Wealso placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of our normal lead times to secure normal andincremental future supply and capacity.If the Company encounters additional supply chain constraints again in t
276、he future,it mayneed to further adjust its operations to maintain sufficient liquidity.Legal and Regulatory RisksWe might not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights,which could harm our competitiveposition.If we are not able to adequately protect or enforce the pro
277、prietary aspects of our technology,competitors may be able to accessour proprietary technology and our business,financial condition and results of operations may be seriously harmed.We currentlyattempt to protect our technology through a combination of patent,copyright,trademark and trade secret law
278、s,employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and similar means.Despite our efforts,other parties may attempt to disclose,obtain or illegally useour technologies or systems.Our competitors may also be able to independently develop products that are substantially equivalentor superior to our pr
279、oducts or design around our patents.In addition,the laws of some foreign countries do not protect ourproprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the U.S.As a result,we might not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately inthe U.S.or internationally.Litigation may be necessary to enforce
280、 our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietaryrights of others.Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others.Presently andhistorically,we have been subject to litigation regarding our intellectual proper
281、ty rights and the intellectual property rights ofothers,and we might continue to be in the future.An adverse outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could subject us tosignificant liabilities to third parties,require us to license disputed rights from others or require us to cease marketing
282、 or usingcertain products,product features,or technologies.In addition,in the event of an adverse outcome in litigation or any similarproceedings we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense,time,andeffort required to market or use certain
283、products,product features,or technologies.We might not be able to obtain any licenses onterms acceptable to us,or at all.We also may have to indemnify certain customers or strategic partners if it is determined that wehave infringed upon or misappropriated another partys intellectual property.Our co

286、ti-20240331.htm26/91Table of ContentsWe may continue to be subject to traffic-related litigation.In general,participants in the traffic industry are subject to frequent litigation claims due to the nature of personal injuries thatcan result from traffic accidents.As a provider of traffic engineering
287、 services,products and solutions,we are,and could from timeto time in the future continue to be,subject to litigation for traffic related accidents,even if our products or services did not causethe particular accident.While we generally carry insurance against these types of claims,some claims might
288、 not be covered byinsurance or the damages resulting from such litigation could exceed our insurance coverage limits.In the event that we arerequired to pay significant damages as a result of one or more lawsuits that are not covered by insurance or exceed our coveragelimits,it could materially harm
289、 our business,financial condition or cash flows.Even defending against unsuccessful claims couldcause us to incur significant expenses and result in a diversion of managements attention.We may experience adverse impacts related to Artificial Intelligence(“AI”)laws.While we are working to increase ou
290、r use of AI with initiatives,such as further enhancing our hybrid sensor technologies withintegrated AI algorithms to provide precise and detailed detection,tracking and classification of traffic,there is also increasingregulatory scrutiny in the use of machine learning and AI.AI presents risks and
291、challenges that could affect its adoption,such asuncertainty in the legal regulatory environment relating to AI may require significant resources to modify or change our business orproduct offerings to comply with U.S.and non-U.S.laws,the scale and nature are unknown at this time.For example,on Octo
292、ber30,2023,the Biden administration issued an Executive Order to,among other things,establish extensive new standards for AIsafety and security.Other jurisdictions may decide to adopt similar or more restrictive legislation that may render the use of suchtechnologies challenging or prohibited.These
293、obligations may make it harder for us to use AI in our business,and require us tochange our product offerings,or prevent or limit our use of AI.If we cannot use AI,or that use is restricted,our product offeringsmay be less efficient,or we may be less competitive,which could adversely affect our busi
294、ness,reputation,financial conditions,and results of operations.Financial and Market RisksWe might not be able to consistently achieve profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.We had GAAP net income of approximately$3.1 million in Fiscal 2024 and net loss of$14.9 million in Fiscal 2

298、ntentsIf we experience declining or flat revenues and we fail to manage such declines effectively,we may be unable to executeour business plan and may experience future weaknesses in our operating results.Based on our business objectives,and in order to achieve future growth,we will need to continue
299、 to hire additional qualifiedand productive personnel,and invest in additional research and development and sales and marketing activities,which couldincrease our expenses and cause declines in our operating results.In addition,our past expansion has placed,and future expansionis expected to place,a
300、 significant strain on our managerial,administrative,operational,financial and other resources.If we areunable to manage these activities or any revenues declines successfully,our growth,our business,our financial condition and ourresults of operations could be adversely affected.Our use of estimate
301、s in conjunction with the input method of measuring progress to completion of performance obligationsfor our engineering and consulting services revenues could result in a reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenuesand profits.A portion of our engineering and consulting services revenues i
302、s measured and recognized over time using the input method ofmeasuring progress to completion.Our use of this accounting method results in recognition of revenues and profits proportionallyover the life of a contract,based generally on the proportion of costs incurred to date to total costs expected
303、 to be incurred for theentire project.The effects of revisions to estimated costs and resulting revenues recognized are recorded when the amounts areknown or can be reasonably estimated based on updated information.Such revisions could occur in any period and their effectscould be material.Although
304、we have historically made reasonably reliable estimates of the progress towards completion of long-term engineering,program management,construction management or construction contracts,the uncertainties inherent in theestimating process make it possible for actual costs to vary materially from estim
305、ates which may result in reductions or reversals ofpreviously recorded revenues and profits.If our internal controls over financial reporting do not comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,ourbusiness and stock price could be adversely affected.Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
306、 2002 currently requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls overfinancial reporting at the end of each fiscal year and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internalcontrols over financial reporting in all annual reports.We are required to obtain ou
307、r auditors attestation pursuant to Section 404(b)of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.Going forward,we might not be able to complete the work required for such attestation on a timelybasis and,even if we timely complete such requirements,our independent registered public accounting firm may still conclude that
308、our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective.A control system,no matter how well designed and operated,can provide only reasonable,not absolute,assurance that thecontrol systems objectives will be met.Further,the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are res
309、ourceconstraints,and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.Because of the inherent limitations in all controlsystems,no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,if any,within Iterishave been or will be detected
310、.These inherent limitations include the realities that technology,decision-making and other processescan be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.Controls also can possibly be circumvented byindividuals,by collusion of two or more people,or by management override
311、of the controls.The design of any system of controls isbased in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,and we cannot ensure that any design will succeed inachieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.Over time,our controls may become inadequate because
312、of changesin conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and go undetected.If we are not able to maintain effectiveinternal controls over finan
313、cial reporting,we may lose the confidence of investors and analysts and our stock price could decline.Our quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of many factors.Therefore,we may fail to meet or exceed theexpectations of securities analysts and investors,which could cause our stock price t
314、o decline.Our quarterly revenues and operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to anumber of factors,many of which are not within our control.Factors that could affect our revenues and operating results include,among others,the following:delays
