Item 1. Business.

 

History and Organization

 

PCS Edventures!, Inc., an Idaho corporation (“PCS,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and words of similar import), was originated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 3, 1994 as “PCS Education Systems, Inc.” On March 27, 2000, we changed our name from “PCS Education Systems, Inc.” to “PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.” On August 31, 2015, we changed our name from “PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.” to “PCS Edventures!, Inc.” PCS Edventures!, Inc. is our current company name.

 

On February 18, 2016, we announced the completion of an asset purchase of Thrust-UAV, a privately-held company focused on drone technology.

 

On March 27, 2017, the Company filed a Form 15-12g with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) whereby, under Rule 12g-4(a)(1) and Rule 12h-3 (b)(1)(i), it terminated its duty to file reports with the Commission.

 

Effective December 31, 2017, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Director, and highest-ranking operations officer, resigned to pursue other interests. Given his tenure at the Company of over 20 years and his position at the time of his departure, this effectively caused a change in executive leadership at the Company. On January 1, 2018, Michael J. Bledsoe, then Vice President and Treasurer, and a Director, was appointed to assume responsibility for the operational oversight of the Company. On April 23, 2018, he was promoted to President, a position he currently holds. Todd R. Hackett was Chairman of the Board and CEO at the time of this transition and remains in those positions with the Company.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company to register its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and return to its former status as a “fully-reporting” entity with the Commission given the Company’s improved financial condition and management’s desire to improve the Company’s reporting quality to shareholders. This Registration Statement on Form 10 is filed for that purpose. Upon the automatic effectiveness this Registration Statement, which will occur 60 days after filing, our common stock will be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

 

Overview

 

The Company specializes in creating experiential, hands-on, K12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education products and curriculum. (STEM is often abbreviated as STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math – to include the arts. We use the terms STEM and STEAM interchangeably throughout this document and make no significant distinction between the two terms.) Through our acquisition of Thrust-UAV, we developed educational drones and drone curriculum. Our customers include schools and school districts from the collegiate to kindergarten level, and providers of out-of-school programming which include after-school programs, military education programs, home-schooling programs, summer programs, and corporate outreach programs. We sell predominately in the United States and sell into nearly every state in the nation. We have a few international customers, but revenue from customers outside of the United States is not material and we do not focus our sales efforts on international markets at this time.

PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

Our products facilitate STEM education by providing engaging activities that demonstrate STEM concepts and inspire further STEM studies, with the goal of ultimately leading students to pursue STEM career pathways. Due to our exceptionally detailed curriculum, our products are easy to teach and do not require a teaching degree or experience to administer.

 

PCS’ educational products are developed from both in-house efforts and contracted services. They are marketed through reseller channels, direct sales efforts, partner networks, and web-based channels.

 

Products

 

PCS has developed and sells a variety of STEM education products into the K12 market which can be categorized as follows:

 

  1. Enrichment Programs
     
    These camps are for the informal learning market and are designed to be highly engaging for students while easily administered by the instructor. The Company offers approximately 30 different enrichment programs and typically develops at least two new programs each year. Some of the more popular programs include Ready, Set, Drone!; Traveling Artist; Unleash Your Wild Side, Build a Better World; Claymation; Oceanic Exploration; Pirate; and Flight and Aerodynamics.
     
  2. Discover Series Products
     
    These products are designed for the makerspace environment and include engaging STEM activities that motivate students to pursue educational pathways toward STEM careers. The Discover Series includes Discover Engineering; Discover Robotics & Physics; Discover Robotics & Programming; and Discover STEM.
     
  3. BrickLAB Products
     
    These products are designed for the grade school market and use the Company’s proprietary bricks (which are Lego compatible) and curriculum to engage students to explore, imagine, and create within a STEM education framework. The Company offers a variety of grade-specific BrickLAB products.
     
  4. Discover Drones, Add-on Drone Packages and Ala Carte Drone Items
     
    These products are designed around using drones as a platform for STEM education and career exploration. These titles include the Discover Drones series of Products; Discover Drones Indoor Coding Bundle; Discover Drones Indoor Racing Add-On; Discover Drones Outdoor Practice Add-on; and all the spare parts and ala carte drone items offered in the Company’s comprehensive drone packages.
     
  5. STEAMventures BUILD Activity Book
     
    These series of activity books are designed for the K-3 market and ideal for a distance-learning environment. The series includes twelve (12) different issues. Instructor guides and/or family engagement guides are included. The Company also provides the necessary bricks for the builds in the activity books as a separate, but related product.
     
  6. Professional Development Training
     
    The Company offers professional development trainings, for a fee, to educators who are implementing the Company’s products in their classroom.

 

The Company intends to continue developing STEM education products that address demand from large markets.

Distribution Methods of Products

 

The Company sells its products directly to customers and through resellers. The Company kits all of its products at its Boise, Idaho facility and ships the products directly to customers. Resellers do not inventory the Company’s products and the Company “drop ships” its products directly to the resellers’ customers. Trainings and Professional Development sessions are conducted either at the Company’s facilities or at the customer’s location depending on the desires of the customer. Customers can buy from the Company’s website, from a reseller’s website, or by presenting the Company with a valid purchase order.

 

Competition

 

The STEM education market is not well defined and is very fragmented. Our products experience competition from multiple angles. Most schoolteachers with exposure to STEM can create their own lesson plans, using their own materials, to emulate the educational benefits of using the Company’s products, at a fraction of the cost. The value proposition of our products is less compelling in a budget-constrained environment, as cost becomes an overriding factor in m any such cases. Additionally, there are several sources of free and inexpensive curriculum that teachers can use to help them deliver STEM educational concepts similar to those experienced by the users of our products.

 

In addition to competition at the local level, many of our products face competition from similar products produced by multinational companies that have significant advantages over us in terms of financial resources, human resources, brand loyalty, supply-chain costs, and global reach. While many of these companies primarily target the toy industry, their sheer size and cost advantages allow them to easily breach the education market with their products. In this regard, the company competes directly with Lego, DJI, Fischertechnik, K’Nex (acquired by Basic Fun), and Vex IQ among many others.

 

There are numerous companies of various sizes that develop and sell STEM educational products. While there may be several characteristics that differentiate our Company’s products from theirs, all of us are competing for a finite market. There are several potential solutions to STEM education demand and, oftentimes, companies can achieve a first-mover advantage by developing a relationship with a customer or distributor, and integrating their suite of products and services into the supply chain before we can showcase our offerings.

 

We also compete against non-profit organizations, such as Project Lead The Way, who have a mission to promote and implement STEM education. The programs they provide can be free, subsidized, government-sponsored, rigorously developed, and/or heavily promoted, creating intense competition for our products and services.

 

We believe that we have a competitive advantage in curriculum development. We employ STEM teachers who, through experience, understand the environment that educators operate within and the unique challenges they face, and we develop our curriculum with the educator in mind for an easy, successful, and consistent implementation. Many of our competitors’ products focus on the product or the student, with the educator left to figure out the details of implementation.

 

Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control

 

Our Enrichment Programs contain several types of materials, kitted in a box. There is no manufacturing involved in the creation of our final product in the Enrichment Program category. Nearly all materials used are non-proprietary and commercially available. The materials are mostly consumer discretionary (paper, crayons, pencils, tape, yarn, etc.) and sourced from a variety of vendors, some of which are located outside of the United States. Some of our Enrichment Programs contain proprietary products from other companies, commercially available, and the Company maintains close relationships with these suppliers. The final creation of the product via kitting and packaging is done at our corporate facility in Boise, Idaho. The printing and digitizing of the curriculum, as well as all curriculum development oversight, is performed at our corporate facility.

 

Our Discover series of products contains some proprietary products designed by our Company and manufactured abroad as well as non-proprietary, commercially available products. Most of our Discover series of products are comprised of other companies’ final products, combined with our curriculum. Our RubiQ education drone is a proprietary product of the Company and is the main component in Discover Drones. The RubiQ education drone’s components are manufactured abroad and quality-controlled at our corporate facility. The final packaging of all Discover products is done at our Boise, Idaho facility. The printing and digitizing of the curriculum, as well as all curriculum development oversight, is performed at our corporate facility.

PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

Our BrickLAB products contain proprietary plastic building bricks (that are Lego compatible) manufactured for us by a long-time vendor with manufacturing facilities in South Korea. The printing and digitizing of the curriculum, as well as all curriculum development oversight, is performed at our corporate facility.

 

The STEAMventures BUILD Activity Book was developed at our corporate facility. The printing of the product and final packaging are performed at our corporate facility.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers

 

Raw material procurement has become more challenging since the Covid-19 pandemic. Backlogs have created availability problems for a few items, shipping congestion from time to time has significantly delayed shipment of many items, and prices of nearly all items have increased materially. We expect continued inflation in the materials we use in our final products, although we expect transportation costs to moderate.

 

With few exceptions, we can generally source materials from multiple vendors, although the pricing from different vendors varies considerably. Thus, supply problems that we experience generally do not impair our business from functioning. However, supply problems that cause us to procure from higher-priced sources negatively affect our gross margin as we cannot adjust our prices as quickly as the prices of our raw materials increase.

 

In response this challenging environment, we raised 2022 prices for many products to maintain our margin goals, and we were compelled to do so again in 2023. Additionally, we buy in bulk to achieve better pricing, and have increased general inventory levels. While we purchase from numerous vendors, below are our most used vendors by dollar volume:

 

Mida’s Global

Fischertechnik

Amazon

ASI

Flash Hobby Technology

FPVElite

 

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

 

We have two major customers who accounted for 45% of sales in our Fiscal Year 2023. One of these customers was a new contract from the Air Force JROTC program and represented 38% of our revenue in Fiscal Year 2023. We had three major customers who accounted for 46% of sales in our Fiscal Year 2022. The details of sales from our major customer are below:

 

   2023   2022   Relationship
Duration
Customer Description             
Customer A   4%   12%  9 years
Customer B   7%   22%  18 years
Customer C   38%   0%  1 year
Customer D   4%   12%  12 years

 

Customers A and D are resellers. The sales from reseller customers represent the aggregation of many purchase orders each of these customers place with us throughout the year. Our reseller customers place an order with us when their customer orders our product from them. This cycle recurs numerous times throughout any given year.

PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

We work closely and frequently with our larger customers to ensure that they are receiving the value proposition and service from us they require to continue doing business with us. We would categorize our relationship with these customers as excellent and do not believe that there is a risk to any of these relationships over the next year. Customer C, being a contract with a specified ending date with no minimum order requirement in any given year, is not likely to experience the duration with us as our other major customers have.

 

We believe that the risk of losing any one of these customers is small, and we are actively, and successfully, soliciting larger customers to diversify our current customer concentration. While we believe the risk of losing any one of these major customers over the next year is small, the loss of any two of these customers would pose a significant risk to the financial health of the Company.

 

Seasonality of Business

 

Our business is subjected to strong seasonal patterns during any given year, with our busiest period coinciding with summer learning and the planning leading up to providing summer programs (January through July). The period between Thanksgiving and the New Year is our slowest time, coinciding with the holiday season, as most schools observe the holidays with significant time off during this period.

 

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration

 

We do not have any designs or equipment which are patented, registered trademarked, or licensed.

 

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

 

We currently expense our costs under a general operating expense category instead of capitalizing any research and development expenses.

 

Employees

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had 21 full-time employees.

 

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic

 

The pandemic affected our end markets considerably for a period of time when lockdown orders were enacted at schools and after-school programs. We sell to educational program providers, and our products are designed to be used in-person with group collaboration encouraged. School closures and a movement to remote learning during much of calendar year 2020 significantly and negatively impacted our revenue. Our revenue for fiscal year 2021 (ending March 31, 2021) declined 57.7% from our revenue for fiscal year 2020. For fiscal year 2022, the impact from the pandemic was negligible, as most K-12 learning institutions and after-school programs resumed in-person learning and services. We reported record revenue for fiscal year 2023 indicating that the any lingering effects of the pandemic are insignificant.

 

Our supply chain has experienced and continues to experience moderate delays due to the pandemic’s various effects on our vendors. Our vendors are located in China, Europe, South Korea, and the U.S., with each region experiencing the cycles of the pandemic at different times and reacting differently to it. These conditions have caused some delays in us receiving our raw materials from vendors. Port congestion arises from time to time, elevating transportation costs due to increased storage fees at the port, and further adding to delays in us receiving materials. In situations when these delays in receiving our materials risk interrupting our customers’ programs, we have often accommodated these customers, at the Company’s expense, with compensation in the form of free shipping to the customer, express shipping to the customer, express shipping of materials from our vendor to us, product substitutions with the customer, or additional materials given to the customer. We believe that these supply chain issues are manageable and temporary, but they will continue to negatively impact our profit margin until fully resolved.

 

General supply shortages of semiconductors, attributed to the pandemic, have elevated the cost of the flight controller component of our proprietary drone from $14.50 per unit to $50.00 per unit. Given the global nature of this shortage, we will procure only what is needed and wait to buy in bulk when supply returns to normal. We have solicited additional vendors who supply drone materials to diversify our supply chain. Recently, prices have begun to moderate.

PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

During the pandemic when our markets were significantly impaired by mandated lockdowns, we developed a STEM activity book, titled STEAMventures, which could be used in a distance-learning environment. We also modified two of our enrichment programs to be used at the individual level instead of at the group level, to accommodate areas where in-person learning was not possible. Through these developments, we believe that we have a better suite of offerings for distance-learning environments, should that environment arise again.

 

On April 14, 2020, the Company received its first Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan in the amount of $193,375. This amount was subsequently forgiven in December of 2020. On February 2, 2021, the Company received its second PPP loan in the amount of $221,050. This amount was subsequently forgiven in September of 2021.

 

The Company qualified for the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) for 2020 and the first three calendar quarters of 2021. The Company has filed an amended IRS Form 941 quarterly federal tax return for the April through June 2020 period to claim this credit as it was made retroactive at the end of 2020. We have also filed our quarterly Forms 941 claiming this credit. The amounts of the credits are summarized below:

 

   ERTC 
For period  Amount Claimed 
Apr 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022  $198,995 
Apr 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023  $94,860 

 

Growth Plan

 

Our primary focus is to continue penetrating the U.S. market with our current product line as we feel the market is large relative to our current market share and receptive to our value proposition of high-quality, easily implemented, hands-on STEM programs. We are actively pursuing larger customers who can implement our programs at multiple sites, recognizing that some unique product development may be required for these sales. We intend to develop new products and to enhance our current product line based on market feedback we receive, both solicited and unsolicited, and based on developments within our market. We intend to further develop and enhance our educational drone product line, and we are prepared to compete intensely in this product category, as we believe that 1) our curriculum offers us a competitive advantage in this space and 2) the educational drone market is nascent and expected to continue to grow significantly.

 

The Company reported record revenue and net income for fiscal year 2023, after a profitable fiscal year 2022, and its outlook is for continued profitability in its fiscal year 2024. The Company’s recent success, coupled with the Company’s established history of significant aggregate profitability for the past 5 years, accomplished under the supervision of different Management than the team that oversaw the period prior to fiscal year 2019, compelled Management, in consultation with Company tax advisors and auditors, to recognize a portion of the tax- loss carry-froward asset on the Company’s fiscal year 2023 financial statements. The value of this recognition was $1,011,466 which represents the portion of the total tax-loss carry-forward amount that Management feels confident in realizing. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $2,776,176 which includes the recognition of the tax-deferred asset.

 

Regulation and Environmental Compliance

 

Presently, none of our products are in highly regulated industries.

 

Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services

 

No products presently being manufactured or sold by us are subject to prior governmental approvals. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the educational drone market is relatively new and undergoing significant regulatory evolution. We stay current on these regulatory developments and help our customers understand and comply with new regulations.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

 

Our Registration Statement on Form 10 will become effective 60 days after filing with the Commission, at which point our securities will be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Issuers with securities registered under Section 12(g) are subject to numerous regulatory requirements under the Exchange Act. For example, we will be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.

 

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require that we provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Commission at least ten (10) days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

 

Upon effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form 10, we will also be required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; changes in executive officers and directors; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The Company currently does not hold any intellectual property rights. While we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade and business secrets, we cannot assure that our employees, consultants, contractors or advisors will not, unintentionally or willfully, disclose our trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, the Company’s competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how. If we are unable to defend our trade secrets from others use, or if our competitors develop equivalent knowledge, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any infringement of our proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenue. Existing patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party use. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using the Company’s trade secrets could be expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially adversely affect our future operating results.

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. There are certain exemptions available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years. As long as we maintain our status as a “smaller reporting company”, these exemptions will continue to be available to us.

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to respond to this Item.

Item 2. Financial Information

 

This Registration Statement on Form 10 contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Plan of Operations provided below, including information regarding the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, and the plans and objectives of management. The statements made as part of the Plan of Operations that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements.”

 

The following discussion and analysis provide information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in this report as Item 15.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has elected a March 31 fiscal year end. The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenues

 

The Company’s recognizes all revenue from the sales of its products and services on a transfer of goods that occurs at a single point in time (upon shipment or delivery.) The Company directly accepts orders for these products and is directly responsible for delivery from its third-party warehouse locations. Payment terms for all products delivered are “due upon shipment.” The Company does not have agreements whereby our products and services are transferred over time.

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (FY 2023), our revenue was $7,004,575, $2.94 million greater than our revenue of $4,067,652 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (FY 2022). This growth in revenue was largely due to the Company’s new Air Force JROTC (Air Force) relationship which did not exist in FY 2022. The Air Force accounted for $2.61 million of revenue in FY 2023 versus zero in FY 2022.

 

The Air Force buys the Company’s proprietary drone program, Discover Drones, and installs this program in select JROTC locations in high schools. During FY 2023, the Air Force purchased 344 units of Discover Drones, with each unit going to a unique location. Even though the Air Force exercised their option for the second year of the agreement with the Company, the Company has no assurances whatsoever that the Air Force will order any more products from the Company. The agreement specifies product and price but allows the Air Force to order any quantity between 1 and 750 units during the year covered by the agreement. Reasons why the Air Force would not order more products include 1) no funding being available, 2) no end demand from their JROTC programs, and 3) a determination that the program does not accomplish the goals it was intended to accomplish.

 

The Company also reached another agreement which contributed to revenue growth in FY 2023 over FY 2022. In November of 2021, the Company’s Ready, Set, Drone! Enrichment Program was selected by the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council for their programing in calendar year 2022. The Advisory Council reviews applications from companies proposing their STEM products for use in the Program. The Advisory Council selects around 12 products per year from these applications. Applications are submitted in August and awarded in November. This award was the first for our Company from the Advisory Council, and accounted for $407,320 in revenue for FY 2023.

The growth in revenue from Enrichment Programs can be fully attributed to the Company’s Iowa relationship, which produced revenue of $407,320 attributed to Enrichment Programs in FY 2023. This Iowa relationship also produced Training revenue of $49,000 and shipping revenue of $8,160. The Company received no revenue from this Iowa customer in FY 2022.

 

Proprietary drone revenue, excluding the Air Force, was flat in FY 2023 over FY 2022, while the “all other Discover Series” experienced a slight decline in revenue.

 

On a forward-looking basis, there can be no assurance that the Company will experience any revenue from the Air Force or Iowa.

During FY 2022, the Company embarked on an initiative to target larger installations of its STEM educational products. The sales cycle in the STEM educational products space can oftentimes be long (over one year), so most of the efforts made in FY 2022 did not produce noticeable results in that year. However, the Company started seeing the results of this effort in FY 2023. Select sales statistics are presented below:

 

Sales Statistics

 

    FY 2023     FY 2022  
Number of customer transactions over $50,000     21       14  
Number of customer transactions over $100,000     10       7  
Median sale of top 21 customer sales   $ 99,540     $ 71,621  
Media sale of top 51 customer sales   $ 35,071     $ 20,950  

 

The Iowa relationship is divided into 6 autonomous regions in Iowa, with each region having their own agreement. Thus, we account for these regions separately for purposes of calculating the statistics in the above table.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our revenue was $6,372,607 compared to revenue of $2,635,447 for the six months ended September 30, 2022. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, revenue from the Air Force, excluding shipping, was $1,246,236 versus zero for the six months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, the Company again won an award from the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council for calendar year 2023. For calendar year 2023, the award was for the Company’s Discover Drones product and the Company recognized product revenue (categorized as “All Other Proprietary Drones” of $752,301 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 from this relationship. Training revenue was $49,000 and shipping revenue was $9,900.

 

For calendar year 2022, the award was for the Company’s Ready, Set, Drone! product, and categorized under “Enrichment Programs.” In the table below, the revenue from the Company’s Iowa relationship for the six months ended September 30, 2022 shows up in the “Enrichment Programs” line item. The revenue from the Company’s Iowa relationship for the six months ended September 30, 2023 shows up in the “All Other Proprietary Drones” line item.

Revenue across all product categories was up significantly in the six months ended September 30, 2023 versus the same period in the prior year. Significant factors behind this revenue growth include: 1) continuing revenue from the Air Force and Iowa relationships, 2) the Company’s marketing efforts to raise market awareness of our product offerings and value proposition, 3) sales efforts to solicit larger customers, and 4) a favorable funding environment.

 

The Company’s Enrichment Programs product line experienced a significant increase in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2023 over the same period the prior year. This increase was even more pronounced considering that, in FY 2022, the Company’s Iowa relationship revenue was categorized as Enrichment Programs, whereas in FY 2023, the Iowa relationship revenue was categorized as All Other Proprietary Drones.

 

The Company’s efforts to form larger customer relationships continued to show results for the first six months of fiscal year 2024 (FY 2024), as compared to the same period in FY 2023.

Again, the Iowa relationship is divided into 6 autonomous regions in Iowa, with each region having their own agreement. Thus, we account for these regions separately for purposes of calculating the statistics in the above table.

Cost of Sales

 

For fiscal year 2023, our cost of sales was $2,798,617, or 40.0% of sales, compared to our cost of sales of $1,711,085, or 42.1% of sales, for fiscal year 2022. For fiscal year 2023, our reseller revenue was $1,066,340, or 15.2% of total revenue. For fiscal year 2022, our reseller revenue was $1,179,489, or 29.0% of total revenue. Reseller revenue carries a higher cost of sales because the revenue we receive from resellers is discounted by their sales fee. Thus, during periods when reseller revenue is a higher percentage of total revenue, our cost of sales is likely to be higher, all other things equal. During periods, like FY 2023, when the Company experiences large direct orders for its products, reseller revenue as a percentage of total revenue will decline, producing a lower aggregate cost of sales experience.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our cost of sales was $2,192,896, or 34.4% of sales, compared to our cost of sales of $1,081,958, or 41.1% of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2023. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our reseller revenue was $1,311,998, or 20.6% of total revenue. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, our reseller revenue was $673,926, or 25.6% of total revenue.

 

The prices of the materials the Company procures as inputs into its final goods have been increasing in general at a faster pace than normal due to inflation. The Company has employed a number of strategies to reduce this inflationary effect which include buying materials in larger quantities to receive larger discounts, buying materials when they are on sale and storing that inventory to be used as needed, sourcing from our contacts overseas where pricing in some areas is more competitive, and having materials shipped to us in the most economical way possible.

 

The Company prices its goods once per year and honors those prices throughout the year. Each year, the Company assesses the effects of inflation on its final goods and reprices those goods as necessary to achieve the Company’s margin goals. The market for the Company’s products is price inelastic for smaller changes in price (less than 10%) and exhibits some price elasticity for larger changes in price. Thus, the Company believes that it can manage the effects of inflation on its operating margins over time.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

For fiscal year 2023, our operating expenses were $2,393,503, or 34.2% of sales, compared to our operating expenses of $1,881,527, or 46.3% of sales, for fiscal year 2022. Our operating expenses are more fixed than variable and will thus typically decline as a percentage of sales as sales increase in most operating environments.

 

Employee expenses increased $238,033 to $1,521,536, or 21.7% of sales, in fiscal year 2023 from $1,283,503, or 31.5% of sales, in fiscal year 2022. We endeavor to retain all of our employees, as we believe it is costly to our Company to turn over employees frequently. Thus, we expect the absolute value of employee expenses to increase over time as compensation increases. However, employee expenses have not been increasing as fast as revenue and, thus, have been decreasing as a percentage of sales.

 

General and administrative expenses for FY 2023 were $871,967, or 12.5% of sales, compared to $598,024, or 14.7% of sales, for FY 2022.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our operating expenses were $1,549,593, or 24.3% of sales, compared to our operating expenses of $1,056,838, or 40.1% of sales for the six months ended September 30, 2022. With sales volume significantly elevated for the six months ended September 30, 2023 over the same period in 2022, our operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, declined significantly. Operating expenses do not vary proportionately with sales and higher sales volume will produce lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

 

Employee expenses increased $299,715 to $959,952, or15.1% of sales, for the six months ended September 30, 2023 from $660,237, or 25.1% of sales, for the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2023 were $589,641, or 9.3% of sales, compared to $396,601, or 15.1% of sales, for the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

For fiscal year 2023, our other income (expense) was ($47,745) compared to $254,295 for fiscal year 2022. For fiscal year 2022, we recognized $221,050 of Payroll Protection Program Loan forgiveness, and $198,995 of Government Relief Program (ERTC). Interest expense for FY 2023 and FY 2022 was $142,605 and 165,750, respectively. Prior to March 31, 2023, the Company had debt outstanding which generated interest costs and contributed to frequent net expense amounts under the other income (expense) category.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our other income (expense) was $41,850 compared to ($74,161) for the six months ended September 30, 2022. Starting April 1, 2023, the Company was debt-free and, consequently, does not incur significant interest expense. Starting at this time, surplus cash is invested in a money market fund and generates interest income. Thus, interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was $11,240, compared to interest expense of $74,161 for the six months ended September 30, 2022. The Company incurred interest expense of $648 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 due to the use of its line of credit facility for normal operating purposes. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $31,258 of its outstanding Employee Retention Tax Credit refund it is claiming.

Net Income

 

For fiscal year 2023, our net income was $2,776,176 compared to $729,335 for fiscal year 2022. Fiscal year 2023 was positively impacted by an Income Tax Benefit of $1,011,466 related to recognition of projected recovery of prior period Net Operating Losses. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, our net income was $2,671,968 compared to $422,490 for the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

At March 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $13.9 million that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2023 or September 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The federal and state net operating losses and tax credits expire in years beginning in 2026.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had $2,493,906 of current assets and $364,269 of current liabilities, for net working capital of $2,129,637. Current assets consist of cash, accounts receivable, government rebates receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable, payroll liabilities and accrued expenses, deferred revenue and the current portion of lease obligations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $2,295,409 of current assets and $1,953,805 of current liabilities, for net working capital of $341,604. The Company’s cash balances at March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $442,657 and 584,070, respectively.

 

During FY 2023, the Company paid $1,443,327 to retire notes payable to our CEO, Todd Hackett, and $50,000 to retire notes payable to our President, Mike Bledsoe.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had $5,195,854 of current assets and $470,658 of current liabilities, for net working capital of $4,725,196. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $2,578,439 in current assets and $1,780,878 in current liabilities, for net working capital of $797,561. The improvement in working capital is due to the Company’s cash flow generation ability during a favorable operating environment. The Company’s cash balances at September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,118,214 and $316,161, respectively. Prior to FY 2023, the Company applied cash balances in excess of working capital needs to debt reduction. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had retired all debt.

 

The Company has a line of credit facility with its primary bank for $300,000 which expired on November 10, 2023. This facility was renewed on October 27, 2023 for another year. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, 2023, the line of credit facility was undrawn.

 

Management believes the current cash balance and the cash flow from operations are adequate to fund operations over the next 12 months from the date of this Registration Statement.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Item 3. Properties

 

We own no real properties. Our corporate headquarters, R&D activities, and manufacturing facilities are located at 11915 W. Executive Dr., Ste. 101, Boise, ID 83713. The Company occupies 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space under a triple net lease with a monthly rental amount that started at $6,800, and escalated by $200 per month at the end of each lease year, which is due to expire on October 31, 2024.

 

Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

 

Under Rule 13d-3 of the Commission, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the number of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding.

 

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2023, the names, addresses and number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by all persons known to the management of PCS to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the names and number of shares beneficially owned by all directors of PCS and all executive officers and directors of PCS as a group (except as indicated, each beneficial owner listed exercises sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned).

 

13
PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

For purposes of this table, information as to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock is determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares of our common stock are beneficially owned, and sole investment and voting power is held, by the person named. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock which such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof. The inclusion herein of such shares listed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

 

All percentages are calculated based upon a total number of 124,733,494 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023, plus, in the case of the individual or entity for which the calculation is made, that number of options or warrants owned by such individual or entity that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

On August 21, 2018, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options to our President, Michael J. Bledsoe. The expected volatility rate of 254.03% was calculated using the Company’s stock price over the period beginning August 21, 2018, through date of issue. A risk-free interest rate of 0.27% was used to value the options. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of two members, Todd R. Hackett and Michael J. Bledsoe, both of whom do not qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board of Directors has not made a subjective determination, as to our directors, that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board of Directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by our directors and us with regard to our directors’ business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to our stockholders on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock we may designate or issue in the future, or as may otherwise be required by law or our articles of incorporation, our common stock is our only common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors and on all other matters presented to our stockholders.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 30-29-851(a) (1) of the Idaho Business Corporation Act (the “Idaho Law”) authorizes an Idaho corporation to indemnify any director against liability incurred in any proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Under Section 30-29-856(a)(1) of the Idaho Law, an Idaho corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer to the same extent as a director.

 

Unless ordered by a court, Section 30-29-851 (d) prohibits an Idaho corporation from indemnifying a director in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct, or in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she improperly received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity.

 

Under Section 30-29-852 of the Idaho Law, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director of the corporation against expenses incurred by the director in the proceeding. Section 30-29-856(c) extends this right to non-director officers of the corporation as well.

 

Section 30-29-853(a) allows an Idaho corporation to advance funds to pay for or reimburse a director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director if the director delivers to the corporation a signed written undertaking to repay the funds advanced if the director is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 30-29-852.

 

Section 30-29-854(a) authorizes a director to apply for indemnification or an advance of expenses to the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent jurisdiction. Section 30-29-856(c) extends this right to non-director officers of a corporation as well.

 

To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. Without limiting the application of the foregoing, our board of directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Idaho, and may cause us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

 

20
PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

Article 6 of our Articles of Incorporation provides as follows:

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person and to advance expenses incurred or to be incurred by such person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding threatened or commenced by reason of the fact said person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Any indemnification or advancement of expenses so granted or paid by the Corporation shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of such a person.

 

No director shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for liability imposed for failure to comply with the applicable legal standard of conduct for a director in any of the circumstances described in Section 30-1-48, Idaho Code; or for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of PCS Edventures!, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PCS Edventures!, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended March 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Deferred Tax Asset

 

The Company has significant net operating losses (NOLs) which arose due to past losses. During the current year, the Company determined that a large portion of those NOLs will be realized and reversed the corresponding allowance. Management of the Company used judgement to determine how much of the asset can be recognized and how much allowance should be recorded. Because the recording of the asset directly affects net income, we considered this a significant estimate that involved subjective judgments made by management.

 

How We Addressed it During Our Audit

 

We considered the relevant professional accounting guidance surrounding income taxes and considered both positive and negative evidence to consider the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets. We obtained a memo from the Company that included the assumptions used in their evaluation and estimate. We evaluated the assumptions used by the Company in making their determination and reviewed the Company’s tax provision prepared by a 3rd party accountant.

 

 

Haynie & Company

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

Accounting Method

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31 fiscal year end.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $442,657 and $584,070 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consist of operating accounts. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include reserves related to accounts receivable and inventory, the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets, the valuation of equity instruments, and debt discounts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

The Company extends credit to customers and is therefore subject to credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which when realized have been within the range of Management’s expectations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to account for potential bad debts. Estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and are based upon an assessment of selected account, historic averages, and as a percentage of remaining accounts receivable by aging category. In determining these percentages, the Company evaluates historical write-offs, and current trends in customer credit quality, as well as changes in credit policies. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $18,469 and $3,438 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is composed of items produced in-house, as well as items from outside suppliers. These items include, but are not limited to, Fischertechnik® manipulatives, Brick manipulatives, drone components, digital media equipment, storage units, curriculum, and other miscellaneous items used in our various products. Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where cost is computed using the average cost method for each item.

 

When indicators of inventory impairment exist, the Company measures the carrying value of the inventory against its market value, and if the carrying value exceeds the market value, the inventory value is adjusted down accordingly. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s gross inventory was $1,244,216. The Company’s provision for excess and obsolete inventory reserve was $6,343, resulting in a net inventory of $1,237,872. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s inventory was $1,167,766. The Company’s provision for excess and obsolete inventory reserve was $8,139, resulting in a net inventory of $1,159,627.

Property and Equipment

 

Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company had fully depreciated property and equipment of $224,282 and software of $127,355 prior to March 31, 2018 and had a balance of $0 as of March 31, 2021. During fiscal year 2022, the Company purchased various warehouse equipment for $18,828 and recognized $1,663 in depreciation of that equipment for a total property and equipment of $17,165 as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, Property and Equipment were $25,156 with $4,240 in depreciation recognized resulting in a net Property and Equipment of $20,917.

 

During fiscal year 2023, the Company purchased various computer equipment for $13,167 and recognized $2,550 in depreciation resulting in a net Computer Equipment of $10,616 as of March 31, 2023.

 

Software has been fully depreciated as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or when events or circumstances arise that indicate the existence of impairment. There was no impairment recorded during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17), which requires reporting the net amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a single noncurrent item on the classified balance sheet. Before this change, the net amounts of current and noncurrent deferred tax assets and liabilities were reported separately.

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax laws. If necessary, a valuation allowance is established, based on the weight of available evidence, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of sufficient future taxable income. We exercise significant judgment in determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future tax benefit from our deferred tax assets.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for the open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions, and no adjustment to such reserves was required by GAAP. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated, therefore no interest or penalty has been included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions which reduce or limit the availability and utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards in the event of a more than 50% change in ownership. If such an ownership change occurs with the Company, the use of these net operating losses could be limited. The following table details the years that remain open to tax examinations:

 

Tax Year   Fiscal Year End   Filed Date   Open Through
2021   3/31/2022   2/3/2023   2/3/2026
2020   3/31/2021   1/18/2022   1/18/2025
2019   3/31/2020   1/28/2021   1/28/2024

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on April 1, 2018. Revenue amounts presented in our financial statements are recognized net of sales tax, value-added taxes, and other taxes. Amounts received as prepayment on future products or services are recorded as unearned revenues and recognized as income when the product is shipped, or service performed.

 

The Company had deferred revenue of $7,085 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 related to contractual commitments with customers where the performance obligation will be satisfied within the following fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. The revenue associated with these performance obligations is recognized as the obligation is satisfied. The Company had no deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022. Most of our contracts with customers contain transaction prices with fixed consideration; however, some contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. This can result in recognition of revenue over time as we perform services or at a point in time when the deliverable is transferred to the customer, depending on an evaluation of the criteria for over time recognition in FASB ASC 606. For certain fixed-fee per transaction contracts, such as delivering training courses or conducting workshops, revenue is recognized during the period in which services are delivered in accordance with the pricing outlined in the contracts.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize stock-based compensation expense under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options at their respective grant date. The use of option valuation models requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of the option. The fair value of restricted stock awards is the fair market value on the date of grant. We recognize these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award.

 

During fiscal year 2023, two sets of performance options were exercised. Mike Bledsoe, President, exercised 1,000,000 options at 2.5 cents per share. Michelle Fisher, Director of STEM Curriculum, exercised 250,000 options at 2 cents per share. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding warrants or options.

Business Segments and Related Information

 

GAAP establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company currently operates in one business segment.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes vested restricted stock awards. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming exercise of all dilutive unexercised stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of these instruments was determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service not yet recognized by the Company and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded as income tax expense when the stock options become deductible for income tax purposes are all assumed to be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Common stock outstanding reflected in the Company’s balance sheets includes restricted stock awards outstanding. Securities that may participate in undistributed net income with common stock are considered participating securities. The following schedule presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

 

   For the Year Ended March 31, 
Net Income per common share   2023    2022 
Basic  $0.02   $0.01 
Diluted  $0.02   $0.01 
           
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Basic   125,109,876    123,967,411 
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Fully Diluted   125,109,876    124,532,253 

 

Net income for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,776,176 and $729,335, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no dilutive instruments outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had options totaling 1,250,000 shares included in the dilutive share calculation.

 

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS CONDITION

 

Although the Company has recorded an accumulated deficit of ($37,355,830), for the last five fiscal years including the most recent one ending March 31, 2023, the Company generated cumulative income before tax benefits of $4,270,572. The Company was profitable in four out of five of those fiscal years, with the lone loss occurring at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures in fiscal year 2021 when the Company reported a loss of ($115,763).

 

The Company reported income before tax benefits of $1,764,710 on sales of $7,004,575 for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, both Company records.

The Company has a large tax-loss carry-forward asset that it has been valuing at zero on its financial statements. Given the Company’s history of losses prior to 2018, prudence dictated that there was substantial doubt as to whether the Company could realize the value of this asset. Thus, even after the Company demonstrated profitability in fiscal year 2019, and again in 2020, there was still enough doubt about the sustainability of this performance to continue valuing the asset at zero on the Company’s financial statements. Although the Company’s loss in fiscal year 2021 can be attributed to the pandemic environment, it still had the effect on enforcing the doubt about the sustainability of the Company’s future profitability.

 

The Company is now two full years into the post-pandemic world. The Company reported a record year for fiscal year 2023, after a profitable fiscal year 2022, and its outlook is for continued profitability in its fiscal year 2024. The Company’s recent success, coupled with the Company’s established history of significant aggregate profitability for the past 5 years, accomplished under the supervision of different Management than the team that oversaw the period prior to fiscal year 2019, compelled Management, in consultation with Company tax advisors and auditors, to recognize a portion of the tax- loss carry-froward asset on the Company’s financial statements. The value of this recognition is $1,011,466, which represents the portion of the total tax-loss carry-forward amount that Management feels confident in realizing. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $2,776,176 which includes the recognition of the tax-deferred asset.

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company announced a contract award from the United States Air Force Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. This contract contemplates a five-year term, with each year subject to renewal by the Air Force. To date, the Air Force has placed two orders under the terms of the first year of the contract. On February 23, 2023, the Air Force notified the Company of its intent to exercise its option for the second year of the contract, with the explicit statement that the notice is preliminary and does not commit the Air Force to the extension. As of March 31, 2023, the Air Force had placed orders totaling has placed orders totaling $2,655,336.

 

On January 11, 2023, the Company announced that it would be partnering with the Iowa Governor’s STEM advisory Council to provide the Company’s Discover Drones program to middle and high school students for the 2023-2024 school year via Iowa’s Scale-Up Program. This is the second year in a row that the Company has been awarded this partnership. The Iowa legislature must approve the funding for the Scale-Up Program before this business is official. However, they have always approved the funding, Scale-Up awardees have already been notified, and the Company is preparing for the two-day trainings that will be conducted in Iowa in July and August of 2023.

 

Management contemplates corporate decisions in a long-term context. Corporate efforts to secure larger customer relationships have been successful. The Company has a healthy financial position and its business outlook for fiscal year 2024 is bright. Management strongly believes that the Company will be able to operate as a going concern over the next year from the date of this report.

 

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

In the Company’s normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers, which generally range from net 15 to 45 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. During fiscal year 2022, the Company had two customers -A and B below- who exceeded 10% of Company revenue.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of November 9, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at December 31, 2019, the date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under ASC 842 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $175,752 based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments determined under prior lease accounting standards and corresponding Right of Use Assets (ROU) of $173,353.

 

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right of use assets related to operating type leases are reported in other noncurrent assets and the present value of remaining lease obligations is reported in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Balance Sheets. The Company does not currently have any financing type leases.

 

Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rates applicable to the economic environment based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is measured using the lease liability adjusted for the impact of lease payments made prior to commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and any asset impairments. Lease te1ms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company re-measures and reallocates the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change in the lease te1m or a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a lease option. The Company assesses right of use assets for impairment in accordance with its long-lived asset impairment policy.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

 

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgments that could become subject to examination by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. We periodically assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the impact on our deferred taxes and income tax liabilities and the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Changes in income tax legislation, statutory income tax rates or future taxable income levels, among other things, could materially impact our valuation of income tax assets and liabilities and could cause our income tax provision to vary significantly among financial reporting periods.

 

Net deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following components as of March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $2,118,214 and $442,657 at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, consist of operating and savings accounts. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include reserves related to accounts receivable and inventory, the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets, the valuation of equity instruments, and debt discounts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers

 

The Company extends credit to customers and is therefore subject to credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which when realized have been within the range of management’s expectations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to account for potential bad debts. Estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and are based upon an assessment of selected accounts, historic averages, and as a percentage of remaining accounts receivable by aging category. In determining these percentages, the Company evaluates historical write-offs, and current trends in customer credit quality, as well as changes in credit policies. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $18,469 at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

 

Inventory

 

Finished goods inventory is composed of items produced in-house, as well as items from outside suppliers. These items include, but are not limited to, Fischertechnik® manipulatives, Brick manipulatives, drone components, digital media equipment, furniture units, curriculum, and other miscellaneous items used in our various labs. Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market and valued using the average cost method for each item.

 

When indicators of inventory impairment exist, the Company measures the carrying value of the inventory against its market value, and if the carrying value exceeds the market value, the inventory value is adjusted accordingly. The provision for excess and obsolete inventory reserve as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 was $6,343 and $6,343, respectively.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company had fully depreciated property and equipment of $224,282 and software of $127,355 prior to March 31, 2018. Beginning in fiscal year 2022 through the current reporting period, the Company purchased various warehouse and office equipment for $46,979 and recognized $11,685 in depreciation of that equipment for a total property and equipment of $35,294 as of September 30, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, property and equipment was $31,533, net of $6,790 in depreciation.

 

Software has been fully depreciated as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or when events or circumstances arise that indicate the existence of impairment for patents and other intangibles. There was no impairment recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17), which requires reporting the net amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a single noncurrent item on the classified balance sheet. Before this change, the net amounts of current and noncurrent deferred tax assets and liabilities were reported separately.

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax laws. If necessary, a valuation allowance is established, based on the weight of available evidence, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of sufficient future taxable income. We exercise significant judgment in determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future tax benefit from our deferred tax assets.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for the open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions, and no adjustment to such reserves was required by GAAP. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated, therefore no interest or penalty has been included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions which reduce or limit the availability and utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards in the event of a more than 50% change in ownership. If such an ownership change occurs with the Company, the use of these net operating losses could be limited. The following table details the years that remain open to tax examinations:

 

Tax Year   Fiscal Year End   Filed Date   Open Through
2021   3/31/2022   2/3/2023   2/3/2026
2020   3/31/2021   1/18/2022   1/18/2025
2019   3/31/2020   1/28/2021   1/28/2024

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on April 1, 2018. Revenue amounts presented in our financial statements are recognized net of sales tax, value- added taxes, and other taxes. Amounts received as prepayment on future products or services are recorded as unearned revenues and recognized as income when the product is shipped, or service performed.

 

The Company had deferred revenue of $4,784 as of September 30, 2023 related to contractual commitments with customers where the performance obligation will be satisfied within the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. The revenue associated with these performance obligations is recognized as the obligation is satisfied. The Company had $7,085 of deferred revenue as of March 31, 2023.

 

Most of our contracts with customers contain transaction prices with fixed consideration; however, some contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. This can result in recognition of revenue over time as we perform services or at a point in time when the deliverable is transferred to the customer, depending on an evaluation of the criteria for over time recognition in FASB ASC 606. For certain fixed-fee per transaction contracts, such as delivering training courses or conducting workshops, revenue is recognized during the period in which services are delivered in accordance with the pricing outlined in the contracts.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize stock-based compensation expense under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation —Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options at their respective grant date. The use of option valuation models requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of the option. The fair value of restricted stock awards is the fair market value on the date of grant. We recognize these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award.

 

During fiscal year 2023, two sets of performance options were exercised. Mike Bledsoe, President, exercised 1,000,000 options at 2.5 cents per share. Michelle Fisher, Director of STEM Curriculum, exercised 250,000 options at 2 cents per share. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding warrants or options.

 

Business Segments and Related Information

 

GAAP establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company currently operates in one business segment.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes vested restricted stock awards. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming exercise of all dilutive unexercised stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of these instruments was determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service not yet recognized by the Company and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded as income tax expense when the stock options become deductible for income tax purposes are all assumed to be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Common stock outstanding reflected in the Company’s balance sheets includes restricted stock awards outstanding. Securities that may participate in undistributed net income with common stock are considered participating securities. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following schedules presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

 

  

For the Three Months ended

September 30,

 
   2023   2022 
Net Income per common Share:          
Basic  $0.01   $0.00 
Diluted  $0.01   $0.00 
           
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Basic   125,091,826    124,949,871 
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Fully diluted   125,091,826    125,106,123 

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1,811,590 and $165,358, respectively.

 

   For the Six Months ended September 30, 
   2023  2022 
Net Income per common Share:          
Basic  $0.02   $0.00 
Diluted  $0.02   $0.00 
           
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Basic   125,410,402    124,717,453 
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Fully diluted   125,410,402    124,873,705 

 

Net Income for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $2,671,968 and $422,490, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). This new guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-10 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, and subsequently amended this update by issuing additional ASU’s that provide clarification and further guidance around areas identified as potential implementation issues. These updates require a lessee to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset for virtually all leases, other than leases with a term of 12 months or less if the short- term lease exclusion expedient is elected. The updates also require additional disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These updates are effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which required us to adopt these provisions in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share- based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted these amendments in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and the impact was immaterial.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”). The objective of the standard is to improve areas of GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine the potential impact of ASU 2019-12 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and has determined that they will not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company had no notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of November 9, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at December 31, 2019, the date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under ASC 842 will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020.

 

The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right of use assets related to operating type leases are reported in other noncurrent assets and the present value of remaining lease obligations is reported in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Balance Sheets. The Company does not currently have any financing type leases.

 

Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company determine the incremental borrowing rates applicable to the economic environment based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is measured using the lease liability adjusted for the impact of lease payments made prior to commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and any asset impairments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company re-measures and reallocates the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change in the lease term or a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a lease option. The Company assesses right of use assets for impairment in accordance with its long-lived asset impairment policy.

 

The Company accounts for lease agreements with contractually required lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. Lease payments made for cancellable leases, variable amounts that are not based on an observable index and lease agreements with an original duration of less than twelve months are recorded directly to lease expense.

 

a.Office and Warehouse

 

The Company leases one building containing its main office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable lease agreement, which commenced on March 2, 2016, accounted for as an operating lease expiring March 14, 2020. On March 3, 2020, a third amendment extended the lease for 19.5 months, expiring October 31, 2021 at $0.60 a square foot. On September 16, 2021, the Company signed a fourth amendment to the lease with a monthly rental amount starting at $6,800 and escalating by $200 per month at the end of each lease year, which is due to expire on October 31, 2024. Building lease expense was $52,561 and $52,800 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

b.Equipment

 

The Company leased one production printer on November 12, 2015 for a term of 60 months, with a purchase option of fair market value, expiring December 2020. The Company leased a replacement production printer for 60 months commencing on January 14, 2020. Equipment lease expense was $15,948 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

As of March 31, 2023, accounted for and presented under ASC 842 guidance, the future minimum lease payments on operating leases, were as follows:

Total  $237,000   $226,231 

 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized no income tax expense (or benefit) due to the partial reversal of its valuation allowance. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company partially reversed its valuation allowance recognizing an income tax benefit of $1,011,466, which represents an effective tax rate of (57%). As the Company recently generated positive income, management expects the effective tax rate to differ from its annual effective tax rate from the most recent year and from its U.S. Federal statutory rate due to changes in the valuation allowance. For the three and six month period ending September 30, 2023, the Company relieved its valuation allowance equal to the estimated income tax expense based on U.S statutory rate of 21% and a State statutory rate of 7%. The net effect is that no income tax expense was recorded for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, and the effective tax rate is 0.00%. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, no benefit from income taxes was recorded due to the Company being in a full valuation allowance position, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0%.

 

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state, and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions, and compliance with federal, state, and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgments that could become subject to examination by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. We periodically assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the impact on our deferred taxes and income tax liabilities and the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Changes in income tax legislation, statutory income tax rates or future taxable income levels, among other things, could materially impact our valuation of income tax assets and liabilities and could cause our income tax provision to vary significantly among financial reporting periods.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, the State of Idaho and the State of California. The statute of limitations on a Federal tax return is the due date of the tax return plus three years.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized no income tax expense (or benefit) due to the partial reversal of its valuation allowance. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company partially reversed its valuation allowance recognizing an income tax benefit of $1,011,466, which represents an effective tax rate of (57%). As the Company recently generated positive income, management expects the effective tax rate to differ from its annual effective tax rate from the most recent year and from its U.S. Federal statutory rate due to changes in the valuation allowance. For the three and six month period ending September 30, 2023, the Company relieved its valuation allowance equal to the estimated income tax expense based on U.S statutory rate of 21% and a State statutory rate of 7%. The net effect is that no income tax expense was recorded for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, and the effective tax rate is 0.00%. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, no benefit from income taxes was recorded due to the Company being in a full valuation allowance position, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0%.
