SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, include the accounts of Biomerica, Inc. (“Biomerica”) as well as its wholly-owned German subsidiary (“BioEurope GmbH”) and Mexican subsidiary (“Biomerica de Mexico”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates also impact the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, based on both current and historical practices with customers; variable consideration in revenue recognition, estimated based on agreements that include guarantees of specified profit margins, requiring adjustments based on actual sales performance and market conditions, stock option forfeiture rates, calculated using historical data; and inventory obsolescence, where inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV) and assessed through judgments based on projected and historical usage of materials. The valuation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets also involves assumptions such as the borrowing rate at lease commencement and the likelihood of lease extensions.

 

These estimates are critical to our financial reporting, and actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

 

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Effective April 21, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s board of directors approved a one-for-eight reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Each 8 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value of $0.08 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split automatically reclassified, combined, converted and changed into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. Beginning with the opening of trading on the Effective Date, our common stock began trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis under the same symbol, “BMRA.” In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options entitling the holders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and upon the vesting of restricted stock units. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company’s stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share received a full share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock or preferred stock as set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. All common stock, per share and related information presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the date of the Reverse Stock Split, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $53,168,000 as of May 31, 2025. As of May 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,399,000 and working capital of approximately $3,135,000.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Company filed a new “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, to replace the expiring S-3 that was filed in July 2020, which was declared effective on September 29, 2023, allowing the Company to issue up to $20,000,000 in common shares. Under this registration statement, shares of our common stock may be sold from time to time for up to three years from the filing date. On May 10, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC to facilitate the sale of up to $5,500,000 in common stock through ATM offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “2024 ATM Offering”). As part of this transaction, the Company incurred $81,000 in deferred offering costs during the year ended May 31, 2024.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company sold 440,687 shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $3.06 to $8.32 pursuant to the ATM Agreement, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $2,143,000 and net proceeds to the Company of $2,015,000, after deducting commissions for each sale and legal, accounting, and other fees related to offering in the amount of $128,000.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any funds raised through the ATM offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, sales and marketing activities, clinical studies and product development, acquisitions of assets, businesses, companies, or securities, capital expenditures, and working capital needs

 

As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,399,000 and $4,170,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $3,135,000 and $5,527,000, respectively.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months is influenced by several factors, including:

 

  Our need and ability to generate additional revenue from international opportunities and sales within the US of existing products, and from our new product launches;
  Our need to access the capital and debt markets to meet current obligations and fund operations;
  Our capacity to manage operating expenses and maintain or increase gross margins as we grow;
  Our ability to retain key employees and maintain critical operations with a substantially reduced workforce; and
  Certain SEC regulations that limit the amount of capital the Company can raise through issuance of its equity.

 

Management has analyzed the Company’s cash flow requirements through August 2026 and beyond. Based on this analysis, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic growth objectives for the next twelve months.

 

To address our capital needs and sustain operations beyond the next year, we are actively pursuing strategies to increase sales, reduce expenses, sell non-core assets, seek additional financing through debt or equity, and seek other strategic alternatives. While we are committed to these plans, there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful or sufficient to meet our capital requirements

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our future viability depends on the successful execution of our strategic plans, securing additional financing, and achieving profitable operations.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2025 were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair market value of the financial instruments could be different than the amount recorded on a historical basis. The Company’s consolidated financial instruments consist of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. The Company also maintains an investment in a privately held company (see below).

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains cash balances at certain financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. From time to time, the Company has uninsured balances. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks.

 

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers throughout the United States and in foreign markets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and requires accelerated prepayment in some circumstances.

 

Our net sales were approximately $5,311,000 for fiscal 2025, compared to $5,415,000 for fiscal 2024. For the fiscal years ended May 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had two and one distributor each year that accounted for 41% and 33% of our net sales, respectively.

 

Total gross receivables as of May 31, 2025, and 2024 were approximately $757,000 and $966,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had four distributors, respectively, that accounted for a total of 69% and 64% of gross accounts receivable, respectively. Of the 69% as of May 31, 2025, 27% was owed by a distributor in North America.

 

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, purchases from one vendor accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s raw material purchases, compared to approximately 16% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.

 

 

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION

 

As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $483,000 and $537,000, respectively, of Biomerica’s gross inventory was located in Mexicali, Mexico.

 

As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $10,000 and $14,000, respectively, of Biomerica’s property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was located in Mexicali, Mexico.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market accounts with original maturities of less than three months.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

 

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers as part of its standard business practices. International customers are typically required to prepay until a credit history with the Company is established, at which point credit levels are determined based on various criteria. Initial credit limits for distributors are approved by designated officers or managers, while any increases require authorization from upper-level management.

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326) on June 1, 2023. ASC 326 adds to U.S. GAAP the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the Company evaluated receivables on a quarterly basis and adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. Balances over ninety days old were usually reserved for unless collection was reasonably assured. Under the application of ASC 326, the Company’s historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, as well as current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. In developing its expected credit loss estimate, the Company evaluated the appropriate grouping of financial assets based upon its evaluation of risk characteristics, including consideration of the types of products and services sold. Account balances are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Occasionally, certain long-standing customers who routinely place large orders will have unusually large receivable balances relative to the total gross receivables. Management monitors the payments for these large balances closely and very often requires payment of existing invoices before shipping new sales orders.

 

As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has established an allowance of approximately $26,000 and $19,000, respectively, for credit losses.

 

PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER

 

The Company occasionally prepays for items such as inventory, insurance, and other items. These items are reported as prepaid expenses and other, until either the inventory is physically received, or the insurance and other items are utilized.

 

As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, the prepaids were approximately $255,000 and $238,000, respectively, comprised of prepayments to insurance and various other suppliers.

 

INVENTORIES, NET

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using a combination of specific lot identification and the first-in, first-out methods) or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand, physical condition, and technical functionality as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products and new product introductions. The reserve is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material are recognized as current period charges and the allocation of fixed production overhead is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

 

 

The following is a summary of approximate net inventories:

 

 SCHEDULE OF NET INVENTORIES

   2025   2024 
   May 31, 
   2025   2024 
Raw materials  $1,071,000   $1,519,000 
Work in progress   743,000    1,145,000 
Finished products   147,000    179,000 
Total gross inventory  $1,961,000   $2,843,000 
Inventory reserve   (471,000)   (467,000)
Inventories, net  $1,490,000   $2,376,000 

 

Reserves for inventory obsolescence are recorded as necessary to reduce obsolete inventory to estimated net realizable value or to specifically reserve for obsolete inventory. As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, inventory reserves were approximately $471,000 and $467,000, respectively.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. When property and equipment are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses from sales, retirements, and dispositions are credited or charged to income.

 

Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 5 to 10 years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment amounted to approximately $66,000 and $63,000 for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

Intangible assets include trademarks, product rights, technology rights, and patents, and are accounted for based on Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). In that regard, intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed 18 years for marketing and distribution rights and 10 years for purchased technology use rights. Patents are amortized over their individual useful lives, which average approximately 15 years. Amortization expense was approximately $21,000 and $18,000 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the asset’s balance over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The Company uses a qualitative assessment to determine whether there was any impairment. There was no impairment of intangible assets for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

INVESTMENTS

 

The Company has made investments in a privately held Polish distributor, which is primarily engaged in distributing medical products and devices, including the distribution of the products sold by the Company. The Company invested approximately $165,000 into the Polish distributor and owns approximately 6% of the investee.

 

Equity holdings in nonmarketable unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence (“Cost Method Holdings”) are accounted for at the Company’s initial cost, minus any impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar holding or security of the same issuer. Dividends received are recorded as other dividend and interest income.

 

The Company assesses its equity holdings for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an equity holding may not be recoverable. Management reviewed the underlying net assets of the Company’s equity method holding as of May 31, 2025 and determined that the Company’s proportionate economic interest in the entity indicates that the equity holding was not impaired. There were no observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or a similar holding or security of the Company’s Cost Method Holding during the year ended May 31, 2025.

 

 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 718, Share-based Compensation, which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments. The Company grants stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its equity incentive plans. The Company measures all share-based payment awards at their grant-date fair value. RSUs are valued based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected forfeiture rate, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company has not paid dividends historically and does not expect to pay them in the foreseeable future. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeitures experienced. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited exercise activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. The grant date fair value of the award is recognized under the straight-line attribution method.

 

The Company expensed approximately $460,000 and $837,000 of share-based compensation during the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

In applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the following assumptions used in the valuation of awards issued for years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024:

 

 

   For the year ended May 31, 
   2025   2024 
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Expected volatility   105.90 - 117.41%   100.54 - 111.98%
Risk free interest rate   3.68 - 4.52%   4.00 - 4.59%
Expected term   4.69 - 6.25 years   4.69 - 6.25 years 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company has various contracts with customers, and these contracts specify the recognition of revenue based on the nature of the transaction.

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped, customarily FOB shipping point, which is when the transfer of control of goods has occurred and title passes. This applies to clinical lab products sold to domestic and international distributors, including hospitals, clinical laboratories, medical research institutions, medical schools, and pharmaceutical companies. OTC products are sold directly to drug stores, e-commerce customers, and distributors, while physicians’ office products are sold to physicians and distributors. The Company does not allow returns except in cases of defective merchandise, and therefore, does not establish an allowance for returns. Additionally, the Company has contracts with customers that provide purchase discounts contingent on achieving specified sales volumes. These contracts are regularly evaluated, and the Company does not anticipate granting any discounts through the end of the contract period.

 

Furthermore, the Company offers margin guarantees to certain retail drug store customers to ensure a minimum profit margin. Should pricing adjustments cause these margins to fall below the agreed-upon thresholds, the Company is committed to compensating for the shortfall. This arrangement introduces variable consideration into our revenue recognition process. These considerations are estimated monthly based on actual sales and potential price reductions, ensuring accurate and compliant revenue reporting.

 

For diagnostic testing services sold directly to patients or physician offices that require processing by a third-party CLIA-certified lab, we recognize revenue once the lab has completed the test results.

 

For services related to contract manufacturing, revenue is recognized when the service has been performed. Services for some contract work are invoiced and recognized as the project progresses.

 

As of May 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $55,000 of advances from domestic customers, which are prepayments on orders for future shipments.

 

 

Disaggregation of revenue:

 

The following is a breakdown of revenues according to markets to which the products are sold:

 

 SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION REVENUE

   2025   2024 
   For Year Ended May 31, 
   2025   2024 
Clinical lab  $3,181,000   $3,236,000 
Over-the-counter   1,049,000    1,426,000 
Contract manufacturing   1,070,000    741,000 
Physician’s office   11,000    12,000 
Total  $5,311,000   $5,415,000 

 

See Note 8 for additional information regarding geographic revenue concentrations.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES

 

The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company expensed approximately $1,023,000 and $1,491,000 of research and development costs during the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and the benefits of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. These temporary differences and the benefits of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the extent that management considers it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, the Company considers factors such as the reversal of deferred income tax assets, projected taxable income, and the character of income tax assets and tax planning strategies. A change to these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense. As of May 31, 2025 and 2024, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company has a valuation allowance for all of its net deferred tax assets. During the year ended May 31, 2025, this valuation allowance was increased to $11,748,000, which fully covers the net deferred tax asset of $11,748,000.

 

The Company accounts for its uncertain tax provisions by using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize is measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be realized. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not capable of being sustained. On subsequent recognition and measurement, the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent the Company’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, although the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. The Company elected to follow an accounting policy to classify accrued interest related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Interest expense” line and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes within the “Other expense” line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company had a net operating loss (“NOL”) that generated deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statements and income tax carrying values using tax rates in effect for the years such differences are expected to reverse. Due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to generate future taxable income and consequently realize such deferred income tax assets, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2025.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. For the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

ADVERTISING COSTS

 

The Company reports the cost of all advertising as expense in the period in which those costs are incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $35,000 and $101,000 for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The subsidiary located in Mexico operates primarily using the Mexican peso. The subsidiary located in Germany operates primarily using the U.S. dollar, with an immaterial amount of transactions occurring using the Euro. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and revenues and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the year. The resulting adjustments to assets and liabilities are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. There are no foreign currency transaction gains or losses that are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

 

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases are classified as financing or operating which will drive the expense recognition pattern. The Company has elected to exclude short-term leases. The Company leases office space and copy machines, all of which are operating leases. Most leases include the option to renew and the exercise of the renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Options to extend or terminate a lease are considered in the lease term to the extent that the option is reasonably certain of exercise. The leases do not include the options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. For additional information, see Note 9-Commitments and Contingencies.

 

NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities using the treasury stock method. The total amounts of anti-dilutive stock options not included in the loss per share calculation for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 were 413,866 and 434,954, respectively.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company defines its segments on the basis in which internally reported financial information is reviewed by the CODM to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources. The Company manages its operations as a single operating and reportable segment, which focus on the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of diagnostic products. As all material financial information is included in the consolidated results, the Company has identified one reportable segment. The CODM uses net loss and cash flow information to evaluate performance, including detailed cost information as part of the budget and forecasting process and considers budget-to-actual variances on a regular basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. The measure of profit or loss of the operating segment is net loss as reported in the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

 

The accounting policies used in the segment reporting are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

 

The Company’s reportable segment product sales, net and net income (loss) for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following :

 

   2025   2024 
   For the Year Ended May 31, 
   2025   2024 
Net sales  $5,311,000   $5,415,000 
Cost of sales   (4,813,000)   (4,804,000)
Gross profit   498,000    611,000

Provision for income taxes   (1,000)   (42,000)
           
Net loss  $(4,973,000)  $(5,978,000)

 

REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

 

Comprehensive loss represents net loss and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss and recognized directly as a component of shareholders’ equity. Items of other comprehensive loss consist solely of foreign currency translation adjustments for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recent ASU’s issued by the FASB and guidance issued by the SEC did not, or are not believed by the management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The ASU includes enhanced disclosure requirements, primarily related to significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to and used by the CODM. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on May 31, 2025, and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”.
