NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

There have been no changes to our accounting policies disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including those related to determination of standalone selling prices of our products and services, allowance for credit losses and sales reserves, income tax valuations, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and inventory valuations and recoverability. We base our estimates on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that our

management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. Management reviews the impairment of goodwill for impairment annually at year end.

In June 2023, management performed an interim impairment test of goodwill, as a result of the overall financial performance of OSS as compared to plan, the transition of and focus on our product strategy of AI Transportables and the defense industry, and deferment of certain orders. As a result of this interim evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment loss to goodwill of $2,700,000, which was charged to operating expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Due to the Ukraine war, the escalating conflicts in the middle east, inflationary pressures, other macroeconomic factors and the loss of our media and entertainment customer, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy, financial markets and our ongoing operations. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of this Quarterly Report. These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to reportable segment disclosures." This amendment enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The adoption of this amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management does not anticipate any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Employee Retention Credit

 

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided tax relief, along with other stimulus measures, including a provision for an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”). The ERC was designed to encourage businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, we accounted for the ERC funding consistent with our accounting treatment and reporting of the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan.

The credit is based upon the number of employees in any given quarter in years 2020 and 2021. For the year 2020, the maximum credit was based upon the lesser of 50% of eligible wages or $5,000 for the year. For the first three quarters only of the year 2021, the maximum quarterly credit was based upon the lesser of 70% of eligible wages or $7,000 per quarter. The total maximum program credit per employee was $26,000.

The Company applied for the ERC program and as of June 30, 2023, had received $1,516,034 in credits, including interest, and paid commissions of $217,793 to a vendor who assisted with the calculations and filing of the application. The net proceeds of $1,298,241 have been reported as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No ERC credits were received during the six month period ended June 30, 2024. Income is recognized when reasonably assured of receipt based upon notice.
