Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  

The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the latest year ended December 31, 2021.  Accordingly, note disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2021, audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.  The Company’s management has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the date of filing this report.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.  For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.

Leases

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases. A lease must be classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.  The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration.  Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.  This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received.  All right of use assets are reviewed for impairment.  The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at the commencement date of each lease. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs.  

 

In these cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company's incremental borrowing rate it pays on current debt instruments or would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

 

The Company and its subsidiary have no leases classified as finance leases.  The Company and its subsidiary currently lease plant, office facilities and equipment under operating leases expiring through August 2024. As of September 30, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases was 23 months.  The weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 12.8%.

 

The Company’s lease agreements may include options to extend the lease following the initial term. On a case-by-case basis, the Company’s management determines if it is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option; such renewal options were included in determining the initial lease term.

 

We elected the package of practical expedients in transition for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2022, and therefore did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We elected to use hindsight for transition when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lease options to extend, or terminate, a lease, or to purchase the underlying asset. As result of the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized an accumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings for the 2022 fiscal year of $44,533.

 

 

For all asset classes, we elected to (i) not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less and (ii) not separate non-lease components from lease components, and we have accounted for combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed.  For those leases that are subsequently modified for terms, such changes may require a remeasurement of the lease liability.

 

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.  Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense determined on an amortized cost basis.  The lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

Use of Estimates

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 doubtful account 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.  

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had $3,778,217 in net deferred tax assets (“DTAs”). These DTAs include approximately $7,100,000 related to net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income in future periods and reduce our income taxes payable in those future periods.  At this time, we consider it more likely than not, that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow us to realize these DTAs. However, it is possible that certain economic conditions may decrease the likelihood that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future. Therefore, unless we are able to generate sufficient taxable income from our operations, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our U.S. DTAs may be required, which would materially increase our expenses in the period the allowance is recognized and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and statement of financial condition.

 

On August 16, 2022, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Inflation Reduction Act, 2022 (“the “IRA”), which includes certain business tax provisions. The Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate or income tax provision for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

On March 11, 2021, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (the “ARP”), which includes certain business tax provisions. At this point, we do not believe that these changes will have a material impact on our income tax provision for 2022. We will continue to evaluate the impact of new legislation on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Guidance continues to be issued clarifying the application of this legislation and recent proposed legislation known as Build Back Better is under consideration within both houses of U.S. Congress. Significant business and international provisions have been proposed in various versions of the framework of the bill that could increase our total tax expense. We cannot predict the overall impact that the additional guidance and proposed changes may have on our business. Some jurisdictions have raised tax rates and it is reasonable to expect that other global taxing authorities will be reviewing current legislation for potential modifications in reaction to the implementation of U.S. tax legislation, current economic conditions, and COVID-19 response costs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, inflation, increases in interest rates, capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and supply chain issues, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact from these events. 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 on Form 10-Q. 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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. In November 2019, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2019-10 that changed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Further, the ASU clarifies that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
