Audited Financial Statements
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ImmuCell Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Inventory
| Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2024, the Company’s inventory was $7,112,623. As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. |
|---|---|
| Auditing management’s valuation of inventory is complex and highly judgmental because of the estimates and assumptions used by management to determine the cost accounting and because of the variability of the cost per dose due to fluctuations in the biological yield achieved. | |
| How We Addressed the Matter In Our Audit | The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following: |
| We obtained an understanding of the cost accounting developed by management and the related assumptions and estimates used. We tested the cost accounting by examining the underlying data used by the Company to prepare the cost accounting. We evaluated the effect of the variability of the cost per dose on the inventory value by comparing the biological yield to historical results and by performing a sensitivity analysis of the potential range in inventory value within a corridor of historical results based on minimum and maximum outcomes for the biological yield. |
