Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain amounts included in or affecting the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting policies” for the Company.
The judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:
Inventories, net The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions, including forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand, as well as other factors such as potential excess or aged inventories based on product shelf life, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence. As of September 30, 2025, the allowance for inventory obsolescence increased by $12,895 resulting in a reserve of $77,722. As of December 31, 2024 the inventory reserve was $64,827.
Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired by first comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The Company did not recognize impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
Fair value of financial instruments The Company determines the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Application within the Company’s Financial Statements The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, related-party loans, line of credit, government loans, loans payable, convertible debentures (prior to conversion), and warrants issued in connection with financing arrangements. Management believes that, unless otherwise noted, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or because they bear interest at market rates.
The following items required fair value measurement or valuation analysis during the periods presented:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company primarily applied fair value measurement to equity-linked financing instruments (warrants and stock issued for services), and historically, to convertible debt and business combination accounting. The majority of the Company’s remaining financial instruments are short-term or bear market-rate interest and therefore approximate fair value.
