SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash in insured accounts in the amount of $1,167 and $1,501, respectively, and cash equivalents (Treasury and government securities) held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of $205,202 and $220,465, respectively.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming 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 rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

The Company follows FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense incurred by the Company for employees and directors is based on the employee model of ASC 718, and the fair market value of the award is measured at the grant date. Under ASC 718 employee is defined as “An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. “tax regulations.” Our consultants do not meet the employer-employee relationship as defined by the IRS and therefore are accounted for under ASC 718 as amended by ASU 2018-07. As such, the grant date is the measurement date of an award’s fair value. Corresponding expenses for employee and non-employee services are recognized over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. There were 497,587 shares of Class A common stock held in treasury, purchased at a total cumulative cost of approximately $49,759, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid (ASU 2023-09). ASU No. 2023-09, effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign taxes and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and has retrospectively adjusted disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 had no impact on the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance can be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.

 

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs):

 

ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements

 

This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability of Topic 270, improves the navigability of interim reporting guidance by consolidating disclosure requirements into a single list, introduces a disclosure principle for material events and changes since the most recent annual reporting period, and provides clarifications on the form and content of (condensed) interim financial statements and notes. The amendments are not expected to significantly change existing interim reporting requirements.  

 

The ASU is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its interim financial statement disclosures.

 

ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements

 

This ASU includes various technical corrections, clarifications, and minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification across multiple Topics (including Earnings Per Share, Credit Losses, Leases, and others). The amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

 

The ASU is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted (on an issue-by-issue basis in some cases). The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this ASU.

 

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the condensed financial statement as a result of further adoption.
