Income taxes

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires income tax effects for changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted.

 

Cayman Islands

 

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by us our shareholders, no withholding tax will be imposed.

 

United States

 

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state. Currently we are not under any audit examination from federal or state tax authority in the United States.

 

The tax expenses primarily come from the state minimum taxes and franchise taxes.

 

Singapore

 

We are subject to corporate income tax for its business operation in Singapore. Tax on corporate income is imposed at a flat rate of 17% based on the adjusted taxable income.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. The ASC 740 – Accounting for Income Tax guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

We have determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against the full population of the deferred tax assets as based on all available evidence, we do not anticipate that our future taxable income will be sufficient to recover our deferred tax assets. However, should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we will re-valuate our position and release a portion or all the valuation allowance if required.

 

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2025, we do not have any uncertain tax positions based on our analysis.

 

We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activities. Any change in these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, we have financed our operating and investing activities primarily through cash generated from operating activities and equity financing through private placements. As of June 30, 2025, the Company held cash of approximately $4.0 million.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported net losses of approximately $1.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported net losses of approximately $3.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Company had accumulated deficits of approximately $30.3 million and $26.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, but the Company had working capital of approximately $6.4 million among which the Company held cash of approximately $4.0 million as of June 30, 2025, which is expected to support our operating and investing activities for the next 12 months.

 

The Company’s liquidity is based on its ability to generate cash from operating activities and obtain financing from investors to fund its general operations and capital expansion needs. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtain financing from outside sources.

 

Given the financial condition of the Company and its operating performance, the Company assesses current working capital is sufficient to meet its obligations for the next 12 months from the issuance date of the Form 6-K of which this exhibit is a part of Accordingly, management continues to prepare the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on going concern basis.

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and (iii) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgments are used when accounting for the amount and timing of future cash flows associated with each asset that are used to evaluate whether assets are impaired, accounting for income taxes, and the amounts recorded as allowances for credit losses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities in the future.

 

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The management determines there are no critical accounting estimates.
