We expect our SG&A costs to increase as we continue to strengthen our support and enabling functions and invest in leadership development, performance management and training programs.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Current report
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements under Part II, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules.”
Current report
We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements, as their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment regarding matters that are inherently uncertain at the time an estimate is made.
Current report
These policies include fair value of stock options and standalone selling price in case of bundled revenue contracts.
Current report
These accounting policies, estimates and the associated risks are set out below. Future events may not develop exactly as forecasted and estimates routinely require adjustment.
Current report
Stock Compensation Expense
Current report
Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Current report
Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment, including estimating the expected term over which the stock awards will be outstanding before they are exercised and the expected volatility of our stock.
Current report
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has issued two types of equity incentives:
Current report
Stock Options: These provide employees with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at a specified price, within a defined period, as per the terms of the stock option agreement. Stock-based compensation expense associated with AVRA 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is measured at fair-value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at commencement of each offering period and recognized over that offering period.
Current report
Stock Units (Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs): These do not require the employee to exercise any options. Each stock unit automatically converts into a specified number of shares upon vesting. The Company uses last three months’ average share price of common stock on OTC exchange as grant date fair value for RSUs.
Current report
Standalone Selling Price:
Current report
Our system sale arrangements contain multiple products and services, including system, accessories, instruments and services. Other than services, we generally deliver all of the products upfront. Each of these products and services is a distinct performance obligation. System, instruments, accessories and services are also sold on a standalone basis. For multiple-element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which we separately sell the products or services. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then we estimate the standalone selling prices considering market conditions and entity-specific factors including, but not limited to, historical pricing data, features and functionality of the products and services and industry benchmark. We regularly review standalone selling prices and maintain internal controls over establishing and updating these estimates. Revenue that is allocated to the service obligation is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period upon expiration of first year of service which is free and included in the system sale arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Previous report
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment and the useful lives of intangible assets.

Income Taxes
Previous report
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
Previous report
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

While we have been successful in raising funds to finance our operations since inception and we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations going forward, we do not have any committed sources of funding and there are no assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, if the efforts noted above are not successful, it would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot obtain financing, then we may be forced to further curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising the additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.
