Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Our corporate mission is to create or acquire distinct assets, intellectual property, and technologies with an emphasis on acquisition targets that have clinical utility and will generate positive cash flow. Our business model is to develop or acquire medical related products, engage third parties to manufacture such products and then distribute the products through various distribution channels, including third parties. We have three different life saving technologies; the CardioMap® heart monitoring and screening device, the Save a Life choking rescue device and a 50% ownership in unique neurosteroid drug compound intended to treat rare brain disorders.
We intend to acquire other technologies and assets and plan to be a trans-disciplinary product development company involved in the discovery, development and commercialization of products and technologies that may be applied over various medical markets. We plan to license, improve and/or develop our products and identify and select distribution channels. We intend to establish agreements with distributors to get products to market quickly as well as to undertake and engage in our own direct marketing efforts. We will determine the most effective method of distribution for each unique product that we include in our portfolio. We will engage third-party research and development firms who specialize in the creation of our products to assist us in the development of our own products and we will apply for trademarks and patents once we have developed proprietary products.
We are not currently selling or marketing any products, as our products are in development and Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance or approval to market our products will be required to sell in the United States. In addition, it would require additional European union or country specific clearance or approvals to sell internationally.
We did not recognize any revenues for the years ended July 31, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”) or 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) and we had an accumulated deficit of $61,003,146 as of July 31, 2024. For the foreseeable future, we expect to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of July 31, 2024, we had current liabilities of $5,919,895, current assets of $56,943, and a working capital deficit of $5,862,952. Negative working capital at July 31, 2024 did not provide enough working capital to meet our current operating expenses through the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
The operating deficit and negative working capital at July 31, 2024 indicate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued existence depends on the success of our efforts to raise additional capital necessary to meet our obligations as they come due and to obtain sufficient capital to execute our business plan. We may obtain capital primarily through issuances of debt or equity or entering into collaborative arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in completing additional financing or collaboration transactions or, if financing is available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we may be required to scale down or perhaps even cease operations.
The issuance of additional equity securities could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We are continually adjusting our business plan to reflect our current liquidity expectations. If we are unable to raise additional capital, secure additional debt financing, secure additional equity financing, secure a strategic partner, reduce our operating expenditures, or seek bankruptcy protection, we will adjust our business plan. Given our recurring losses, negative cash flow, and accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Odyssey Health, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary Odyssey Group International Australia, Pty Ltd (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of accounting
We measure all of our assets and liabilities on the historical cost basis of accounting unless otherwise required by GAAP.
Research and development rebate due from the Australian government
We receive a 43.5% rebate at the end of each fiscal year from the Australian government on all research and development performed in Australia. We recorded the rebate as expenses were incurred as an offset to research and development as follows:
| Schedule of research and development offset | ||
|---|---|---|
| Fiscal year ended July 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Research and development expense offset | $53,578 | $261,238 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of loans and advances receivable and prepaid insurance. At July 31, 2024 we reserved $27,833 for loans and advances receivable.
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets consisted of costs related to a patent for our concussion drug device combination.
Amortization expense was as follows:
| Schedule of amortization expense | ||
|---|---|---|
| Fiscal year ended July 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Amortization expense | $1,538 | $3,416 |
All intangible assets were sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 4.
Investment
Investment consists of 511,308 shares of Oragenics, Inc. (“Oragenics”) common stock which is valued quarterly based on the common stock price as reported by the NYSE American stock exchange. Our 511,308 shares of Oragenics common stock represented 9.2% of the outstanding shares of Oragenics common stock at July 31, 2024.
We also hold 7,488,692 shares of Oragenics convertible Series F preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) which is accounted for at cost minus impairments as it is not currently listed on a registered securities exchange. The Preferred Stock is not accounted for as an equity-method investment as it does not have voting rights nor board representation and management does not have significant influence over Oragenics.
The Preferred Stock was discounted based on conditions set forth in the Agreement stating 1) the Series F preferred stock converts into common stock on a 1-to-1 basis not exceeding 19.9% of the total outstanding shares of Oragenics’ common stock, 2) the continued listing of the Oragenics common stock on the NYSE American Exchange in order for the Series F to convert into common stock, 3) the Black-Scholes Pricing Model and 4) the limitations under SEC Rule 144, including (i) the number of shares available for sale, (ii) the prescribed holding period of six months, and (iii) affiliates restrictions on sell in excess of the greater of 1% of the total shares outstanding or the average of the previous four-week trading volume.
Cost was originally determined utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model inputs of (i) expected volatility of 79.4%, (ii) risk free interest rate of 5.6%, (ii) expected life of six months, and (iv) an implied discount rate of 25% for the known restrictions on the sale and conversion of the Series F preferred stock and the value at December 28, 2023 was $12,955,437.
Due to the decrease in the value of underlying Oragenics common stock and based on conditions set forth in the Agreement above, we revalued the Series F preferred stock at July 31, 2024 and recorded a 100% impairment totaling $12,955,437.
See Notes 4 and 6 for additional information regarding Oragenics.
Beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable
The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note (Note 7) is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. We record a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded upon the occurrence of the event.
The BCF of a convertible note is a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.
Loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock and common stock equivalents, including stock options, convertible notes, RSUs and warrants. Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all years presented as we were in a loss position for all periods. See Note 12.
Stock-based compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718 for all restricted stock and stock option awards made to employees, directors and independent contractors.
The fair value of stock option awards (Note 8) is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by our stock price, as well as by assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk free interest rate, expected dividends and projected stock option exercise behaviors. We estimate volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock, and estimate the expected term based on several criteria, including the vesting period of the grant and the term of the award. We estimate stock option exercise behavior based on assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options.
The fair value of stock awards is determined based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.
Fair value measurements
The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued wages approximate their estimated fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 6.
In-process research and development
Our in-process research and development costs are expensed when incurred in accordance with with ASC 730-10-25-2(c) Topic 730 Research and Development. Pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2(c), intangibles purchased from others for use in particular research and development projects and that have no alternative future use, in research and development or otherwise, represent costs of research and development as acquired, and therefore are expensed when incurred. In-process research and development relates to the value of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock with a value of $0.17 per share issued to Prevacus in connection with the November 2022 Option Agreement. The option was never exercised and the expense was recognized when incurred. See Note 9.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed in the period when incurred.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a 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 fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. We believe our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at July 31, 2024 or 2023. We recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.
Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2020-06
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments, reduces complexity for preparers and practitioners and improves the decision usefulness and relevance of the information provided to financial statement users. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We early adopted ASU 2020-06 for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows except for the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
ASU 2023-07
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which enhances segment reporting under Topic 280 by expanding the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have one segment. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2023-09
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
Note 4. Asset Sale Agreement with Oragenics, Inc.
On October 4, 2023, we entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Oragenics, which closed on December 28, 2023. Pursuant to the Agreement, we sold certain assets related to the treatment of brain related illnesses and diseases (the “Assets”) with a total carrying value of $48,367 to Oragenics in exchange for (i) $1,000,000 in cash; (ii)8,000,000 shares of convertible Series F preferred stock; and (iii) the assumption of $325,672 of our accounts payable. The total value of consideration received was $16,449,054, which resulted in a gain of $16,400,687.
The Assets include drug candidates for treating mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”), also known as concussion, and for treating Niemann Pick Disease Type C (“NPC”), as well as our proprietary powder formulation and its nasal delivery device.
We received $500,000 upon the execution of the Agreement on October 4, 2023, and received the additional $500,000 on December 11, 2023, upon our stockholder approval for the sale of the Assets. Following the closing of the Agreement on December 28, 2023, we received 8,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Upon receipt,511,308 shares of the Preferred Stock, which represented 19.9% of the then outstanding shares of Oragenics common stock, converted into 511,308 shares of Oragenics restricted common stock. Then restricted common stock became freely tradeable on June 28, 2024, subject to Rule 144 restrictions and limitations that limit us to being allowed to sell no more than an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the total shares of Oragenics common stock outstanding or (ii) the average of the previous four-week trading volume during each quarterly period.
Prior to closing, we were required to obtain the consent of Mast Hill Fund, L.P (“Mast Hill”) to consummate the closing of the Agreement. As part of the consent, we entered into a pledge agreement with Mast Hill granting a security interest in 154,545 of the preferred shares, and collectively with all of the common shares or other securities into which the preferred shares are converted or exchanged into common shares, until the Mast Hill debt is paid.
The remaining shares of convertible Preferred Stock will convert upon Oragenics shareholder approval and upon certain listing and change in control criteria being achieved. Restrictions on the sale or conversion of the Preferred Stock must include all of the following: (i) the Corporation shall have applied for and been approved for initial listing on the NYSE American or another national securities exchange or shall have been delisted from the NYSE American, and (ii) if, and only if, required by the rules of the NYSE American, the Corporation’s shareholders shall have approved any change of control that could be deemed to occur upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Oragenics Common Stock, based on the facts and circumstances existing at such time.
Note 5. Asset Purchase Agreement and Asset Purchase Liability
On January 7, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Prevacus, Inc. (“Prevacus”), pursuant to which we purchased the assets and all of the rights, interests and intellectual property in a certain drug program (ONP-002) for treating mild brain trauma (concussion) and the delivery device (collectively, the “Asset”) in exchange for (i)7,000,000 shares of our common stock plus (ii) the Milestone Consideration.
The Milestone Consideration (“Milestone”) may be earned by Prevacus as follows:
| (i) | 2,000,000 shares of our common stock when the United States Patents are revived in our name by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and any international patents that have lapsed also revived in our name by the respective country’s patent offices. The value of shares issued were not to exceed $6.0 million based on the price of our common stock on the date the payment would have been due. This milestone was not met as the relevant patents lapsed; |
| (ii) | 1,000,000 shares of our common stock upon successful first dosing in a Phase I Clinical Trial for the Asset. This milestone was met in March 2022; |
| (iii) | 2,000,000 shares of our common stock upon the grant and issuance to us of a Patent for the Asset from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the value of which shall not exceed $10.0 million based on the price of our common stock on the date the payment is due; |
| (iv) | 1,000,000 shares of our common stock upon our receipt of net proceeds of at least $1.0 million in a Non-Dilutive Financing relating directly to the development of the Asset within one year after the Closing Date or, in the event of any Non-Dilutive Financing submitted prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the milestone will stay effective until the second year anniversary of the Closing Date. This milestone will not be met as the one-year deadline lapsed; |
| (v) | 2,000,000 shares of our common stock if we sell the Asset to a Third Party resulting in net proceeds to us of at least $50.0 million after a Phase IB Clinical Trial for which we are the sponsor is complete, but prior to completion of a Phase II Clinical Trial. The value of the 2,000,000 shares related to this milestone shall not exceed $25.0 million based on the price of our common stock on the date the payment is due. This milestone was not met; |
| (vi) | 4,000,000 shares of our common stock upon the successful completion of a Phase II Clinical Trial for the Asset that leads to (I) our sale of the Asset to a Third Party resulting in net proceeds to us of at least $50.0 million; or (II) the administration of the first dose in a Phase III Clinical Trial for the Asset for which we are, or one of our affiliates or licensees is the sponsor; and |
| (vii) | 2,000,000 shares of our common stock after the first dosing in a Phase II Clinical Trial and the successful completion of a Phase 1B human clinical trial. |
All Milestone payments shall only be paid once, upon the initial achievement of the particular Milestone event. We, at our sole and absolute discretion, shall determine if any Milestone event has occurred. To the extent the related milestones are not achieved, the above-mentioned Milestone payments will terminate and cease to exist, and we will no longer be liable thereunder, if said Milestone is not completed within four years after the Closing Date.
On March 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), our APA with Prevacus closed and we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $1.18 per share for the stock granted on the date of acquisition for $7,080,000. We withheld 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $1.18 per share, for $1,180,000, in exchange for our payment of certain liabilities of Prevacus which was recorded as an Asset purchase liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any remaining Asset purchase liability, once all obligations have been paid, will be satisfied with the release of shares of our common stock at $1.18 per share. At July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Asset purchase liability was $1,125,026.
In addition,1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $1.18 per share for $1,180,000 was recorded as a component of Additional Paid in Capital for achievement of the milestone related to the first dosing in a Phase I Clinical Trial in March 2022.
We determined that, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 730 Research and Development (ASC 730-10-25-2(c)) and pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2(c), intangibles purchased from others for use in particular research and development projects and that have no alternative future use in research and development or otherwise, represent costs of research and development as acquired, and therefore are expensed when incurred. Accordingly, On March 1, 2021, the date of acquisition, we expensed $9,440,000 as In-process research and development.
Note 6. Fair Value, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are determined utilizing a three-level framework as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, for substantially identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 for similar assets and liabilities. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. If the asset or liability has a specified or contractual term, the input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, generally requiring a significant amount of judgment by management.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Further, although we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
We did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2024 or 2023.
The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued wages approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
No changes were made to our valuation techniques during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024.
Financial instruments that are carried at fair value consist of our common stock of Oragenics as follows:
| Schedule of fair value of financial instruments | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Oragenics common stock | $529,203 | $– | $– | $529,204 |
There were no financial instruments carried at fair value at July 31, 2023.
Valuation of Oragenics Common Stock
Our 511,308 shares of Oragenics common stock were valued at $1.04 on July 31, 2024, as quoted on the NYSE American Stock Exchange.
Valuation of Oragenics Series F Preferred Stock
Cost was originally determined utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model inputs of (i) expected volatility of 79.4%, (ii) risk free interest rate of 5.6%, (ii) expected life of six months, and (iv) an implied discount rate of 25% for the known restrictions on the sale and conversion of the Series F preferred stock and the value at December 28, 2023 was $12,955,437.
As discussed in Note 2, we determined that our investment in Oragenics Preferred Stock was 100% impaired due to the decline in value of the underlying Oragenics common stock and based on conditions set forth in the Agreement stating 1) the Series F preferred stock converts into common stock on a 1-to-1 basis not exceeding 19.9% of the total outstanding shares of Oragenics’ common stock, 2) the continued listing of the Oragenics common stock on the NYSE American Exchange in order for the Series F to convert into common stock, 3) the Black-Scholes Pricing Model and 4) the limitations under SEC Rule 144, including (i) the number of shares available for sale, (ii) the prescribed holding period of six months, and (iii) affiliates restrictions on sell in excess of the greater of 1% of the total shares outstanding or the average of the previous four-week trading volume.
Contingent Liabilities
At July 31, 2024 and 2023, we had contingent consideration related to the acquisition of intellectual property, know-how and patents for an anti-choking, life-saving medical device in fiscal 2019. According to the agreement, we will make a one-time cash payment totaling $250,000 upon FDA clearance of the device. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reviewed quarterly and determined based on the current status of the project (Level 3). We determined the value was zero at both periods since it is not yet probable that we will file for FDA clearance.
We also had contingent consideration at July 31, 2024 and 2023 related to milestones in our Asset Purchase Agreement with Prevacus, Inc. The fair value of thecontingent consideration is reviewed quarterly and determined based on the current status of the project (Level 3). Based on these reviews, the fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be zero at both periods as it is not yet probable that any of the remaining milestones will be met. See Note 5 for additional information.
Fixed-Rate Debt
We have fixed-rate debt that is reported on our Balance Sheets at carrying value less unamortized debt discount and closing costs. The fair value of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The carrying value, excluding unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, and the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt was as follows:
| Schedule of fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt | ||
|---|---|---|
| July 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Carrying value | $1,684,667 | $2,425,000 |
| Fair value | $1,684,667 | $2,425,000 |
Note 7. Debt

**Note 10. Income Taxes **
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the various states in which we operate. We registered with the Franchise Tax Board in the State of California in tax year 2020. Our tax returns are not currently under examination for any year. Our deferred tax assets consist of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire through the year 2036. The deferred tax assets are net of a 100% valuation allowance as it is more likely than not at this time that the deferred tax assets will not be realized within the carryforward period due to substantial uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1).
The following table reconciles the U.S. federal statutory rate to our effective tax rate:
| Schedule of effective income tax rate reconciliation | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the year ended July 31, | ||||
| 2024 · 2023 | ||||
| US federal statutory rates | 21% | 21% | ||
| Valuation allowance | (21% | ) | (21% | ) |
| Effective tax rate | 0% | 0% | ||
Our tax provision (benefit) was as follows:
| Schedule of components of income tax expense (benefit) | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the year ended July 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Current deferred | $97,900 | $485,300 |
| Increase in valuation allowance | (97,900) | (485,300) |
| Total | $– | $– |
Our net deferred tax asset was as follows:
| Schedule of net deferred tax assets | ||
|---|---|---|
| July 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Deferred tax asset | $2,862,500 | $2,960,400 |
| Valuation allowance | (2,862,500) | (2,960,400) |
| Net deferred tax asset | $– | $– |
As of July 31, 2024, we had $28,831,391 of federal net operating loss carry forwards. These carry forwards, if not used, will begin to expire in 2040. Current or future ownership changes may severely limit the future realization of these net operating losses.
We provide for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that they will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. We established a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, we have not reflected any benefit from such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements.
We reviewed the issuance of stock to certain senior executives who received stock in conjunction with becoming an officer and director. In this case, as an officer and director of a publicly-traded company, the sale of shares could be subject to the short-swing profits rules of Securities Exchange Act Section 16(b) and is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture per IRC § 83 (c)(3)(A). Given that such stock is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, such stock is treated as nonvested stock under IRC § 83. As the stock received was nonvested stock, income inclusion is deferred until the year in which the stock vests unless the employee makes an affirmative election to include income in the year of receipt.
We reviewed all income tax positions taken or that are expected to be taken for all open years and determined that our income tax positions are appropriately stated and supported for all open years. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2024 due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards originating in and subsequent to that year. We may be subject to income tax examinations for the various taxing authorities which vary by jurisdiction.

VDH alleged as part of these negotiations VDH agreed to suspend all negotiations with all other suitors in order to pursue the merger with us.
