Macroeconomic factors, such as market volatility, inflation, ongoing trade policy shifts and recessionary concerns have caused uncertainty in end customer demand and supply chain constraints. We are closely monitoring the impact of these factors on our existing product lines and growth initiatives.

The Company evaluated the goodwill impairment considerations as of June 30, 2025. The first half 2025 tariff increases by the United States and other countries have increased the uncertainty in our business environment. The impact of the tariff increases on our Company have been mitigated by a few factors. Most of our products are in specific categories that are exempt from the increased tariffs. Many of our products are sold to the ODM customers who are not subject to the increased tariffs. We source our supplies in tariff favorable regions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's current and forecasted sales, cash flows, and excess market capitalization over net assets are reasonable when compared to quarters in the past two years. After assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determined that there were no events or circumstances as of June 30, 2025 that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. Since there was no indication that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company determined that a quantitative goodwill impairment test was not necessary as of June 30, 2025. Based on the assessment performed, we concluded that an impairment charge to goodwill was not required.
