Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business: The Company’s primary business during the period covered by this Annual Report, consisted primarily in the sale of smoke alarms and other safety products to retailers, wholesale distributors and to the electrical distribution trade which includes electrical and lighting distributors as well as manufactured housing companies. We also market products to the electrical distribution trade through our wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Safety Electric, Inc., (“Universal Electric”). The Company imports all of its safety and other products from foreign manufacturers. The Company, as an importer, is subject to tariffs which vary depending on types of products and country of origin, changes in economic and political conditions in the country of manufacture, potential trade restrictions and currency fluctuations. In July 2025, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary called Universal DeFi LLC (“Universal DeFi”) as a new venture to diversify the business and explore new paths for revenue and stockholder value. Universal DeFi is pursuingtwo lines of business. First, Universal DeFi is developing and intends to own and operate a tokenization platform. Second, subsequent to March 31, 2026, Universal DeFi acquired and commenced limited operations running licensed nodes and a validator on the Ault Blockchain. As of the date of this report, Universal DeFi hasnot generated any revenue.

Going Concern and Liquidity: Universal Safety Products, Inc. (the Company) prepares financial statements assuming it will continue operations, but reported a net loss of $2,485,763 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and has an accumulated deficit of $12,543,809 that create substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year and one day after the financial statements in this annual report are issued. Sales were lower during the March 31, 2026 fiscal year since we sold our smoke and carbon monoxide alarm segment during the first fiscal quarter. Sales were further negatively impacted by the increased import tariffs on all our products. Our plans are to continue operations in the wiring device and bath fan segments of our business, and to develop an additional line of business, as more fully described herein, financed through the issuance of convertible debentures, of which $10,000,000 has been contracted subject to the lenders discretion. However, these plans are not certain to succeed and the financial statements do not include adjustments that would be necessary if the Company cannot continue.

Assets Held for Sale: On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Feit Electric Company, Inc. (Feit) pursuant to which Feit agreed to acquire a portion of the Company’s business and the intangible assets of the Company for approximately $4,955,000. On May 22, 2025, the Asset Purchase Agreement with Feit was completed and the Company recorded a gain from this transaction of $2,820,668. Accordingly, the assets held for sale in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement at March 31, 2025, are shown separately in these financial statements and valued at the lower of the assets carrying value or its fair value less selling cost.

Fair Value Measurements: We account for fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and establishes a framework to measure fair value and the related disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, establishes a fair value hierarchy used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs based upon quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date; Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and Level 3: Inputs that are management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments’ valuation. In addition, we will measure fair value in an inactive or dislocated market based on facts and circumstances and significant management judgment. We will use inputs based on management estimates or assumptions or adjust observable inputs to determine fair value when markets are not active and relevant observable inputs are not available.

ASC 825,* *Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and amounts due from factor, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, as presented in the balance sheet, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

​​​
​F-6​

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US-GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to credit losses, inventories, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with cash. Cash equivalents include amounts invested in an institutional class treasury only portfolio.

Revenue Recognition: The Company’s primary source of revenue is the sale of safety and security products based upon purchase orders or contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer. Customers may not return, exchange or refuse acceptance of goods without our approval. Generally, the Company does not grant extended payment terms. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a cost to complete the sale and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for satisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. The Company’s contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for products sold. Purchase orders may contain stand-alone pricing applied to each of the multiple products ordered. Revenue is recorded at the transaction price net of estimates of variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method based on historical data in considering the impact of estimates of variable consideration, which may include trade discounts, allowances, product returns (including rights of return) or warranty replacements. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

Disaggregation of Revenue: The Company presents below revenue associated with sales of safety alarm products separately from revenue associated with sales of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI’s) and ventilation fans. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how our various product lines perform and are affected by economic factors. Revenue recognized by these categories for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 are as follows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Fiscal Year ended
​ · ​ ​ ​ · March 31, 2026 · ​ ​ ​ · March 31, 2025
Sales of safety alarms​$4,135,202​$21,140,157
Sales of GFCI’s, ventilation fans, and other electrical devices​​711,961​2,423,397
​​$4,847,163​$23,563,554

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses: The Company assigned the majority of its trade receivables on a pre-approved non-recourse basis to Merchant Factors Corporation (Merchant or Factor) under a factoring agreement that expired on February 26, 2026. Factoring charges recognized on assignment of receivables are deducted from revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and amounted to $47,370 and $209,841 for the years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

​F-7​

Management considers amounts due from the Company’s factor to be “financing receivables”. Trade accounts receivable, foreign receivables, and receivables from our suppliers are not considered to be financing receivables. At the time a receivable is assigned to our factor the credit risk associated with the credit worthiness of the debtor is assumed by the factor. The Company continues to bear any credit risk associated with delivery or warranty issues related to the products sold.

Management assesses the credit risk of both its trade accounts receivables and its financing receivables based on the specific identification of accounts. A provision for credit losses is provided based on that assessment. Changes in the provision are charged to operations in the period the change is determined. Amounts ultimately determined to be uncollectible are eliminated from the receivable accounts and from the provision for credit losses in the period that the receivables’ status is determined to be uncollectible. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our normal collection cycle ranges between thirty and forty days. Estimated uncollectible amounts are charged to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances which remain outstanding after reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Historically, the level of uncollectible accounts has not been significant. Based on the nature of the factoring agreement and prior experience, no provision for credit losses related to Amounts Due from Factor has been provided. At March 31, 2026, and 2025, a provision for credit losses of $767,000 and $470,000, respectively, has been provided for uncollectible trade accounts receivable. Management provided a provision for credit losses of $535,000 on March 31, 2024, and decreased this provision by $65,000 to $470,000 at March 31, 2025. The Company increased its provision for credit losses to cover potential credit losses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 to $767,000, howeverno amounts were written off during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first in/first out method) or net realizable value. Included as a component of finished goods inventory are additional non-material costs. These costs include freight, import duty, tariffs, and inspection fees. We evaluate inventories on a quarterly basis and write down inventory that is considered obsolete or unmarketable in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. An allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $510,000 and $400,000 is provided as of March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset group may not be recoverable. The factors considered in performing this assessment include current operating results, anticipated future results, the manner in which the asset group is used and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these asset groups in relation to the operating performance of the business and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these asset groups. Impairment losses are recognized when the sum of expected future cash flows is less than the asset groups carrying value, and losses are determined based upon the excess carrying value of the asset group over its fair value. Based on this assessment, no impairment to long-lived assets resulted for fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.

Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company utilizes certain practical expedients for short-term leases, including the election not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, as well as the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee. See Note E, Leases.

Income Taxes: The Company recognizes a liability or asset for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. These temporary differences may result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and a valuation allowance is provided whenever it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

​​​
​F-8​

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10 that gives guidance to tax positions related to the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax matters are recorded as income tax expenses. See Note F, Income Taxes.

Warranties: We generally provide warranties on safety products to the non-commercial end user on all products sold. The manufacturers of our safety products offer the company a discount on products purchased to cover the cost of providing warranty replacements. Claims for warranty replacement of products covered by the manufacturers have not been historically material. The Company has provided an allowance for warranty replacement of products of $0, and $25,000, respectively for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 that is included in accrued commissions and other on the consolidated balance sheets.

Engineering and Product Development: Engineering and product development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs: The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $131,145 and $589,072 in fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) per Share: Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (unless their effect is anti-dilutive) for the year. In addition, there wereno other securities outstanding during 2026 or 2025 other than common stock. As a result, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is identical for both basic and diluted shares.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: Changes to US-GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. Management adopted ASU 2016-02 related to credit losses effective April 1, 2023. Management determined that adoption of the guidance of the ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements on the date of adoption or for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, was adopted prospectively and did not have a material impact to the income tax disclosures.

NOTE B – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with SJC Lending, LLC (SJC), in which the Company agreed to sell SJC convertible promissory notes in three separate closings of 8% convertible notes in various principal amounts up to $2,750,000 in the aggregate. The closing on the initial tranche, which occurred on August 13, 2025, consisted of the issuance of a convertible note to SJC in the principal amount of $1,100,000, for a purchase price of $1,000,000. An additional convertible note to SJC representing the planned second and third tranches was closed on September 25, 2025, in the principal amount of $1,650,000, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. The Company paid $20,000 out of the proceeds of the notes for legal fees and expenses related to the Agreement. The notes mature inone year on August 13, 2026, and September 25, 2026, respectively, if not previously converted, and are convertible into shares of common stock at a discounted price amounting to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price occurring in theten-business day period prior to the conversion date. SJC may convert any or all of the unpaid principal amount prior to the maturity date, however $500,000 of the unpaid principal must be converted to common stock on the date of maturity. The notes bear interest from the date of issuance at 8% of the face amount of the notes and amounted to $105,763 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Of the original issue discount of $250,000, interest expense of $168,630 has been recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. In addition, further amortization of the original issue discount amounting to $44,013 was recorded as interest expense during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, for the portion of the convertible debt that remained outstanding. At March 31, 2026, unamortized original issue discount of $37,357 was presented as a reduction of the remaining convertible debentures.

​​​
​F-9​

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, convertible debt and accrued interest thereon in the amount of $1,974,145 was converted to 530,000 shares of common stock.

Our outstanding convertible notes are indexed to our stock. Accordingly, the convertible notes are accounted for using the amortized cost method with bifurcation of the derivative component being recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity – Scope and Scope Exceptions”.

The notes payable are recorded including the fair value of the derivative component on the date of issuance with changes in fair value of the derivative portion being recognized as a gain or loss for each reporting period thereafter, and the remainder of the convertible notes being accounted for using the amortized cost method with bifurcation of the derivative component, as discussed above. The derivative portion of the notes were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance, using the Binomial valuation model, and accordingly, an original derivative liability of $309,000 and $458,000 was recorded on August 13, 2025, and September 25, 2025, respectively. The fair value of this liability is determined each reporting period and gains and losses are recognized in the statement ofoperations under “Other Income (Expense)”. The fair value of the derivative liability of the notes payable is $309,000 at March 31, 2026. Other expense of $75,000, has been recorded during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 reflecting an increase in the fair value of the derivative component of the liability, after redemptions, for the period from the original issuance of the notes payable to March 31, 2026.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards regarding the fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

●Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
●Level 3 – Inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash, cash investments, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities. The Company’s financial instruments are measured at amortized cost when the fair value option is not elected.

We measured the fair value of the derivative portion of the convertible notes by using the Binomial Valuation model. As of March 31, 2026, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding notes included an exercise price of $3.92 per share, a common share market price of $5.16, a discount rate of 3.68%, and a volatility of 105%, for the remaining portion of the note issued in September 2025.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial instrument liabilities as of March 31, 2026.

NOTE C – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

The Company entered into an Agreement with Merchant Financial Group (Merchant) for the purpose of factoring the Company’s trade accounts receivable. Under the Agreement, which was terminated on February 26, 2026, the Company could borrow eighty percent (80%) of eligible accounts receivable. The Agreement, as supplemented, provided for additional financing at the sole discretion of Merchant to be secured by inventory. The amount available to borrow from Merchant was approximately $348,000, at March 31, 2025. Advances on factored trade accounts receivable were secured by all assets, were repaid periodically as collections were made by Merchant and were otherwise due upon demand, and bore interest at the prime commercial rate of interest, as published, plustwo percent (effective rate 9.5% at March 31, 2025). Advances under the Agreement were made at the sole discretion of Merchant, based on their assessment of the receivables and inventory, and our financial condition at the time of each request for an advance. At March 31, 2025, there was $2,100,458 borrowed and outstanding under the factoring agreement.

Under the Agreement, the Company assigned receivables of $3,691,347 and $23,513,973 during the years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The uncollected balance of receivables held by the factor amounted to $3,666,790 at March 31, 2025. Included in the uncollected balance of receivables held by the factor were amounts classified by the factor as amounts at client risk of approximately $545,000 at March 31, 2025. Collected cash maintained on deposit with the factor earned interest at the factor’s prime rate of interest less 2.5 percent (effective rate of 5.0% at March 31, 2025). There wasno cash on deposit with the Factor at March 31, 2025.

NOTE D – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In October 2025, the stockholders approved the Company’s 2025 Non-Qualified Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan,1,000,000 shares are reserved for the granting of stock options. Under the provisions of the Plan, a committee of the Board of Directors determines the option price and dates exercisable. During August 2025, the compensation committee granted two hundred twenty-five thousand (225,000) stock options subject to shareholder approval of the Plan, which was approved in October 2025 as mentioned above, at an option price of $3.40 per share. These options became fully vested upon shareholder approval.

We account for share-based payments using the fair value method. We recognize all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors in our financial statements based on their effective date fair values, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Based on shareholder approval of the Plan on October 20, 2025, and due to the fully vested component of the stock option grants, compensation expense of $896,700 was recognized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The expected term of the stock options granted is estimated to be five years from the effective date of the grant based on the simplified safe harbor calculation provided under ASC 718-10-55-20 and 21. The expected volatility of the options granted was determined based on the Company’s stock price over a five-year look-back period and resulted in an expected volatility of 103.68%. The risk-free interest rate of 3.579% was determined using the yield available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options. The intrinsic value of the issued and outstanding options at March 31, 2026 is $472,500 and the weighted average remaining life is approximately four years and five months. The company has not paid a dividend, other than a special one-time dividend paid as a result of the sale of a line of business, and as such, the dividend yield is considered to bezero.

NOTE E – LEASES

The Company is a lessee in lease agreements for office space. The real estate lease for the office and warehouse located in Baltimore County, Maryland also includes executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component). As a practical expedient permitted under ASC 842, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company utilizes certain practical expedients for short-term leases including the election not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, as well as the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee. Lease payments, which may include lease components and non-lease components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable lease amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the lease contract.

Our operating lease for a 15,000 square foot office and warehouse located in Baltimore County, Maryland has been extended various times with the latest extension occurring subsequent to March 31, 2026, on May 14, 2026, extending the lease on a month-to-month basis until December, 2026. No option to continue the lease beyond December 2026 has been provided in the lease extension. Monthly rental expense, with common area maintenance, is approximately $15,000.

The Company maintained an operating lease for office space in Naperville, Illinois. This lease consisting of 3,400 square feet, renewed on a month-to-month basis, and expired on June 30, 2025. The monthly rental, with common area maintenance, was approximately $4,900 per month during the lease term.

Rent expense, including common area maintenance, totaled approximately $211,000 and $296,000 for the years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. None of the Company’s lease agreements contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES

The Company files its income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns filed for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 are considered open and subject to examination by tax authorities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed and recognized for those differences that have future tax consequences and will result in net taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the net asset or liability for deferred taxes. The deferred tax liabilities and assets for the Company result primarily from net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, reserves, and accrued liabilities.

At March 31, 2026, the Company has total net federal operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $5,438,000 that has no fixed expiration date. In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $35,000 that begin to expire in the fiscal year ending 2030. There are certain limitations to the use and application of these items. Management reviews net operating loss carry-forwards and income tax credit carry-forwards to evaluate if those amounts are recoverable.

​​​
​F-12​

In addition, after a review of projected taxable income, remaining components of the deferred tax asset, and current global economic conditions, it was determined that it is more likely than not, that the tax benefits associated with the remaining components of deferred tax assets after the sale of a portion of the business, will not be realized. This determination was made based on the Company’s prior history of losses from operations and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to use the remaining deferred tax assets prior to their expiration. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was established to fully offset the value of the remaining deferred tax assets. Our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with the remaining deferred tax assets depends primarily upon the timing of future taxable income and the expiration dates of the components of the deferred tax assets. If sufficient future taxable income is generated, we may be able to offset a portion of future tax expenses.
