CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies concerning future events, including, but not limited to, any statements regarding our assumptions about financial performance; the continuation of historical trends; the sufficiency of our cash balances for future liquidity and capital resource needs; the expected impact of changes in accounting policies on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows; anticipated problems and our plans for future operations, including expected growth; and the economy in general or the future of the beauty and hair care industry and the hearing protection and ear bud business, all of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

 

There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, many of which are outside of our control. They include: the impact of unstable market and general economic conditions on our business, financial condition and stock price, including inflationary cost pressures, increased tariffs and other trade restrictions and barriers, interest rate changes, unemployment rates, decreased discretionary consumer spending, supply chain disruptions and constraints, labor shortages, ongoing economic disruption, the possibility of an economic recession and other macroeconomic factors, geopolitical events and uncertainty, including the effects of the U.S. federal government shutdown, the Ukraine-Russia conflict and conflict in the Middle East, and other downturns in the business cycle or the economy; our financial performance and liquidity, including our ability to successfully generate sufficient revenue to support our operations; our expectations regarding our financing arrangements and our ability to obtain additional capital if and as needed, including potential difficulties of obtaining financing due to market conditions resulting from geopolitical conditions and other economic factors; risks related to our operations and international markets, such as fluctuations in currency exchange rates, different regulatory environments, trade barriers and sanctions, exchange controls, and social and political instability; changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate, including environmental, health and safety regulations, including those related to sustainability; our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property; continuity and security of information technology infrastructure and the potential impact of cybersecurity breaches or disruptions to our management information systems; widespread outages, interruptions or other failures of operational, communication, and other systems; competition; our ability to retain our management and employees and the potential impact of labor shortages; demands on management resources; availability and cost of the raw materials we use to manufacture our products, including the impacts of inflationary cost pressures, tariffs, and ongoing supply chain disruptions and constraints, which have been, and may continue to be, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the conflict in the Middle East and other geopolitical conflicts; additional tax expenses or exposures; product liability claims; the potential outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings, including ongoing litigation, the disposition of which may have an adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations; our ability to engage in acquisitions, investments, partnerships, strategic alliances or dispositions when desired; global or regional catastrophic events, including the effects of natural disasters, which may be worsened by the impact of climate change; effectiveness of our marketing strategy, demand for and market acceptance of our products, as well as our ability to successfully anticipate consumer trends and to realize anticipated benefits from our efforts to expand into new geographic markets and product lines and into offline sales; labor relations; the potential impact of sustainability matters; implementation of environmental remediation matters; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and risks related to our common stock, including our ability to maintain our stock exchange listing.

 

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports, statements, and information we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in our press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or in oral statements made by or with the approval of an executive officer, the words or phrases “believes,” “can,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “likely,” “estimate,” “project,” “propose,” “plan,” “design,” “potential,” “focus” or similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. However, any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We caution that these statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

 

We do not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law. You should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, AXIL Brands, Inc. (“AXIL Brands, Inc.,” “AXIL,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) has identified material factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, inventory valuations and classifications, the useful life of property and equipment, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the value of stock-based compensation, contract liability, allowance on sales returns, valuation of lease liabilities and related right of use assets and the fair value of non-cash common stock issuances.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the financing section of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, Advances from related party and Repayments to related party are presented on a gross basis.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (See Note 12 - Concentrations).

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

 

Accounts receivable is comprised of receivables from customers and receivables from merchant processors. The Company has a policy of providing an allowance for credit losses based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to provision for credit losses and included in the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of cash prepayments to vendors for inventory, operational and corporate expenditure, and prepayments for trade shows and marketing events which will be utilized within a year, and prepayments on credit cards and the right to recover assets (for the cost of goods sold) associated with the right of returns for products sold. Prepayments to vendors for inventory was $681,806 and $643,131 as of August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Inventory

 

The Company values inventory, consisting of finished goods and raw materials, at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost method. The Company reduces inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its net realizable value. The Company evaluates its current level of inventory considering historical sales and other factors and based on this evaluation, classifies inventory markdowns in the statement of operations as a component of cost of goods sold. These markdowns are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations. The Company continuously evaluates the levels of inventory held and any inventory held above the expected level of sales in the next twelve months is classified as non-current inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations.

 

Product warranty

 

The Company provides a two-year or three-year limited warranty on its hearing enhancement and hearing protection products. The Company records the costs of repairs and replacements, as they are incurred, to the cost of sales.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers.” This revenue recognition standard has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Company sells a variety of electronic hearing and enhancement products and hair and skin care products. The Company recognizes revenue for the agreed upon sales price when a purchase order is received from the customer and subsequently the product is shipped to the customer, which satisfies the performance obligation. Consideration paid to the customer to promote and sell the Company’s products is typically recorded as a reduction in revenues.

 

The five steps for revenue recognition are as follows:

 

Identify the contract with a customer. The Company generally considers completion of a sales order (which requires customer acceptance of the Company’s click-through terms and conditions for website sales and authorization of payment through credit card or another form of payment for sales made over the phone) or purchase orders from non-consumer customers as a customer contract provided that collection is considered probable. For payments that are not made upfront by credit card, the Company assesses customer creditworthiness based on credit checks, payment history, and/or other circumstances. For payments involving third party financier payors, the Company validates customer eligibility and reimbursement amounts prior to shipping the product.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Product performance obligations include shipment of products and related accessories, and service performance obligations include extended warranty coverage.

 

However, as the historical redemption rate under our warranty policy has been low, the option is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The Company does not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

 

Determine the transaction price and allocation to performance obligations. The transaction price in the Company’s customer contracts consists of both fixed and variable consideration. Fixed consideration includes amounts to be contractually billed to the customer while variable consideration includes the 30-days and 60-days right of return that applies to the hearing protection and enhancement segment and hair and skin care segment, respectively. To estimate product returns, the Company analyzes historical return levels, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand. Based on this information, the Company reserves a percentage of product sale revenue and accounts for the estimated impact as a reduction in the transaction price.

 

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue for products is recognized at a point in time, which is generally upon shipment. Revenue for services (extended warranty) is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the warranty period.

 

As of August 31, 2025, and May 31, 2025, contract liabilities amounted to $914,344 and $963,294, respectively. As of August 31, 2025, and May 31, 2025, contract liabilities associated with unfulfilled performance obligations for warranty services offered for a period of two and three years was $701,881 and $841,771, respectively; and contract liabilities associated with unfulfilled performance obligations for customers’ right of return was $205,750 and $117,560, respectively. Our contract liabilities related to warranties are expected to be recognized over a period of one year to three years. Approximately $667,816 is expected to be recognized in the remainder of fiscal year 2026, $209,914 is expected to be recognized in fiscal year 2027, $28,140 in fiscal year 2028 and $8,474 in fiscal year 2029. Contract liabilities associated with gift cards purchased by customers amounted to $6,713 and $3,963, respectively, as of August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025.

Cost of Sales

 

The components of cost of sales include the cost of the product, shipping fees and depreciation of equipment used to bring inventory to its saleable condition. 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with ASC 606. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs of shipping products to customers are classified in marketing and selling expenses as incurred. Shipping costs included in marketing and selling expense were $226,004 and $249,914 for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively.

 

Marketing, selling and advertising

 

Sales, marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Customer Deposits

 

Customer deposits consisted of prepayments from customers to the Company. The Company will recognize the prepayments as revenue upon delivery of products in compliance with its revenue recognition policy. 

 

Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: 

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried on a historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for its reporting units on an annual basis, or when events occur, or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment on May 31st of each year or as impairment indicators dictate.

 

When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assesses a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company’s reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to the quantitative impairment testing methodology primarily using the income approach (discounted cash flow method).

 

Under the quantitative method we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

 

When required, we arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets  

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment loss during the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation”(“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

For non-employee stock option based awards, the Company follows ASU 2018-7, which substantially aligns share-based compensation for employees and non-employees.

 

Net income (loss) per share of common stock

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, certain stock options, preferred shares and restricted stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted common shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net income.

 

The dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of preferred stock, stock options, and restricted stock awards and were computed under the treasury stock method, using the average market price during the period.

 

The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

 

           
    For the Three Months Ended  
    August 31,     August 31,  
    2025     2024  
             
Net income (loss)   $ 334,294     $ (109,805 )

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

Lease Accounting

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for substantially all leases, including those previously classified as operating leases.

 

The Company treats a contract as a lease when it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For all leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The ROU asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent, or lease incentives.

 

The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term and for an asset of similar value. The implicit rate in the lease is used when it is readily determinable.

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use the leased asset over the lease term, while lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments, which depend on factors such as usage or future events, are expensed as incurred and do not result in remeasurement of the lease liability.

 

The Company reviews ROU assets for impairment consistent with the policy for long-lived assets. Recoverability is assessed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The review is based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not include residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company does not act as a lessor and does not have any finance leases at this time.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Operating segments are defined as components of the business for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the CODM.

 

The Company has determined that it operates in two reportable segments: (a) the sale of hearing protection and hearing enhancement products, and (b) the sale of hair and skin care products. There were no changes to the Company’s reportable segments during the three months ended August 31, 2025. A new legal entity was incorporated during fiscal year 2025; however, it has not been reported as a separate segment as it had no operations during this reporting period.

 

The Company also provides disclosures of revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area in accordance with ASC 280. See Note 13 – “Business Segment and Geographic Area Information” for additional information.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require enhanced annual income tax disclosures, including more detailed information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied on a prospective basis with the option for retrospective application.

 

The Company adopted this standard effective June 1, 2025, the beginning of its fiscal year 2026. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in expanded income tax disclosures in the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026.

Note 8 – Notes Payable

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, a commercial bank granted to the Company a loan (the “Loan”) in the amount of $150,000, which is administered under the authority and regulations of the U.S. Small Business Administration pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (the “EIDL”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The Loan, which is evidenced by a note dated May 18, 2020, bears interest at an annual rate of 3.75% and is payable in installments of $731 per month, beginning May 18, 2021 until May 18, 2050. The Company has to maintain a hazard insurance policy including fire, lightning, and extended coverage on all items used to secure this loan to at least 80% of the insurable value. Proceeds from loans granted under the CARES Act are intended to be used for payroll, costs to continue employee group health care benefits, rent, utilities, and certain other qualified costs (collectively, “qualifying expenses”). The Company used the loan proceeds for qualifying expenses. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, the Company received a loan forgiveness for $10,000 and an additional $10,000 of borrowing under the program. The Company recorded interest expense related to the Loan, on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, of $1,312 and $1,495, during the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively. The Company is currently in compliance with the terms of the loan and has presented the long-term payments in accordance with the agreement.

On April 8, 2025, the Board of Directors approved, and the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities approved by written consent, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the authorized shares of common stock from 450,000,000 to 15,000,000, authorized shares of preferred stock from 300,000,000 to 28,000,000, and designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock from 250,000,000 to 27,773,500.The par value and rights of the shares remained unchanged. The amendment became effective upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 19, 2025. 

 

Preferred Stock

 

The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of all or any of the shares of the preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter, for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution adopted by the Board providing the issuance of such shares. The Board is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023, the Company issued 250,000,000 shares of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock, which, following the January 2024 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a twenty-to-one ratio. These 250,000,000 shares of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock were valued at the fair market value of $3,100,000 at issuance.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

 

The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no rights to dividends with respect to such shares. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or paid on the common stock unless and until dividends at the same rate shall have been paid or declared and set apart upon the Series A Preferred Stock, based upon the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock may then be converted. Upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.0001 per share before any payment or distribution shall be made on our shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption at the option, election or request of the Company or any holder or holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock for each 20 shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the holder may not convert that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which would cause the holder to become the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock as determined in accordance with Sections 13(d) and (g) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

 

As of August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, 27,773,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued during the three months ended August 31, 2025.

 

Effective March 24, 2025, the Company’s board of directors ratified certain past actions which provided that all shares of preferred stock that were repurchased by the Company along with those that were converted into shares of common stock would be considered retired. The Company retired 222,226,500 Series A preferred shares that were previously repurchased by the Company or converted into shares of common stock prior to such date.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

  

Stock Options

 

Effective February 14, 2024, the Board amended the Company’s original 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), which was originally approved on March 21, 2022. The effective date of the amended Plan was October 31, 2023. On October 8, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Plan in order to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 800,000 shares, any or all of which may be issued pursuant to grants of “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code). The amendment and restatement of the Plan became effective December 18, 2024, following shareholder approval.

 

Under the Plan, equity-based awards may be made to employees, officers, directors, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) in the form of (i) Incentive Stock Options (to eligible employees only); (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options; (iii) Restricted Stock; (iv) Stock Awards; (v) Performance Shares; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The Plan will terminate upon the close of business on March 20, 2032, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Board serves as the Plan administrator and may amend or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval, subject to certain exceptions. 

 

The total number of shares initially authorized for issuance under the Plan was 500,000 shares. The Plan has since been amended to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan to 2,050,000 shares of common stock. The Plan provides for an annual increase on April 1 of each calendar year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, subject to Board approval prior to such date. Such potential increase may be equal to the lesser of (i) 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on May 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan will not change unless the Board affirmatively approves an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance prior to April 1 of the applicable year. Shares surrendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to satisfy tax withholding requirements will not be added back to the number of shares available under the Plan. To the extent that any shares of common stock awarded or subject to issuance or purchase pursuant to awards under the Plan are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by the Company, for any reason, including a forfeiture of restricted stock or failure to earn performance shares, or the termination, expiration or cancellation of a stock option, or any other termination of an award without payment being made in the form of shares of common stock will be added to the number of shares available for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the Plan will be adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock resulting from payment of a stock dividend on common stock, a stock split or subdivision or combination of shares of common stock, or a reorganization or reclassification of common stock, or any other change in the structure of shares of common stock, as determined by the Board. Shares available for awards under the Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares.

 

Two types of options may be granted under the Plan: (1) Incentive Stock Options, which may only be issued to eligible employees of the Company and are required to have exercise price of the option not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date; and (2) Non-qualified Stock Options, which may be issued to participants under the Plan and which may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, but not less than par value of the stock.

 

The Board may grant or sell restricted stock to participants (i.e., shares that are subject to a subject to restrictions or limitations as to the participant’s ability to sell, transfer, pledge or assign such shares) under the Plan. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the Board, upon the grant of restricted stock, the recipient generally will have rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock. During the applicable restriction period, the recipient may not sell, exchange, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the restricted stock. The Board may also grant awards of common stock to participants under the Plan, as well as awards of performance shares, which are awards for which the payout is subject to achievement of such performance objectives established by the Board. Performance shares may be settled in cash.

 

Each equity-based award granted under the Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Board may determine, consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

 

Subject to the Plan’s terms, the Board has full power and authority to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any outstanding award will be terminated, canceled, forfeited or suspended. Awards that are subject to any restriction or have not been earned or exercised in full by the recipient will be terminated and canceled if such recipient is terminated for cause, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term and expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

 

The Company utilizes the simplified method to estimate the expected life for stock options granted to employees. The simplified method was used as the Company does not have sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected life of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company did not issue stock options.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2024, the Company issued stock options, to two consultants, to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 24,000 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price equal to the Company’s closing price on the NYSE American on the date of grant which ranged from $5.94-$10.39. The options are valued at approximately $195,960 and expire in ten years from the date of grant.

Leases

 

The Company had a lease agreement in connection with its previous office and warehouse facility in California under an operating lease which expired in October 2019. On December 1, 2019, the Company signed an extension of the lease for 3 years. The rent was $7,567 per month for the first year and increased by a certain amount each year. In November 2022, the Company entered into an extension of the lease for a two-year term beginning December 1, 2022. The rent was $6,098 per month for the first year and increased by a certain amount the following year. Upon expiration of the lease on December 1, 2024, the Company did not renew the lease.

 

On October 12, 2024, the Company entered into a lease in Beverly Hills, California for a term beginning November 1, 2024 and ending January 31, 2029. The base rent is $11,168 per month for the first twelve months and shall increase for each twelve-month period thereafter. The lease provides for rent abatement during months 2, 15, and 30.

 

On September 10, 2024, the Company entered into a sublease in American Fork, Utah for a three year term beginning October 1, 2024. The base rent was $0 for the first three months and $7,684 per month for the next nine months. The rent shall increase for each twelve-month period, thereafter.

Both leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842.

 

The Company computed an initial lease liability of $767,269 for the two new lease agreements and an initial ROU asset in the same amount which was recorded on the books at the commencement of the leases. During the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company recorded operating lease costs in the amount of $63,161 and $18,659, respectively.

Contingencies

 

From time to time, we become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our financial statements. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood of our prevailing, the availability of insurance, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we do not record an accrual, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, our ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the amounts accrued for any individual matter are not material. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that any expense, liability, or damages that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will be covered by our insurance or will not be in excess of amounts recognized or provided by insurance coverage. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that particular period.

Note 13 – Business Segment and Geographic Area Information

 

Business Segments

 

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Hearing Enhancement and Protection and Hair and Skin Care. The segments are determined based on the nature of the products sold and how the business is managed. On May 5, 2025, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Sharper Vision Marketing Inc., which did not have any material activity for the three months ended August 31, 2025.

 

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based primarily on a segment profit measure referred to as Segment non-cash operating income, which the Company has concluded is the measure of segment profitability. This non-GAAP measure is defined as operating income from segment operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. Corporate expenses primarily include insurance, expenses related to operating as a public company—including fees paid to related parties for executive management services—corporate office rent, and stock-based compensation for management.

 

The CODM reviews Segment non-cash operating income for each segment regularly to assess performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

 

A reconciliation of Segment non-cash operating income to the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is Income from Operations and is included in the table below.

  

The Company’s segment information is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 21, 2025. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. 

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in herein and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

Overview

 

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of high-tech, innovative hearing and audio enhancement and protection products that provide cutting-edge solutions for people with varied applications across many industries and professional quality hair and skin care products under various trademarks and brands.

 

We have two reportable segments: hair and skin care, and hearing enhancement and protection. In addition, we have recently incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary with the intent to offer marketing services. This new subsidiary is expected to support third-party clients by leveraging our direct-to-consumer expertise to deliver performance-driven marketing solutions.

  

Through our hearing enhancement and protection segment, we design, innovate, engineer, manufacture, market and service specialized systems in hearing enhancement, hearing protection, wireless audio, and communication. Through our hair and skin care segment, we manufacture, market, sell, and distribute professional quality hair and skin care products. 

 

Our overall business strategy is to establish market awareness of our products through our direct-to-consumer campaigns. Our strategy centers on driving growth by expanding market share within existing channels and developing new ones through both online and traditional platforms. Our primary focus is optimizing our e-commerce strategies, building sales teams to meet the needs of distribution channels, and enhancing value through strategic partnerships. We are also working to expand our offline retail presence and enter into new international markets. We believe the increase in awareness will allow us to increase distribution and gain customers through our distribution partners’ retail establishments, with the goal of helping us achieve growth in market share and diversify our sales channels; however, we cannot provide any assurances that such increases will occur, or that we will realize the anticipated benefits of our actions.

 

The Company entered into a strategic supply arrangement with a leading national membership-based retail chain, marking a significant milestone in our wholesale channel expansion strategy. Under this agreement, the retailer placed a substantial initial purchase order, with fulfillment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. While there can be no assurances that additional purchase orders will be placed or as to the timing of the fulfillment of any orders, this development has and is anticipated to continue to drive meaningful revenue growth and enhance brand visibility across a broader customer base.

 

In September 2025, we announced a partnership with a major national salon chain across Canada to offer our full Reviv3 Procare® line, a collaboration that significantly expands our brand’s professional reach through one of the country’s most influential haircare networks.

 

In June 2025, the Company expanded its leadership team by hiring a senior contractor to lead growth initiatives in our hair and skin care division. This individual brings extensive experience in brand development and channel expansion. His appointment reflects our commitment to scaling this business segment and capitalizing on emerging industry growth.

 

We also gained media recognition in leading military publications, including Military Times, Air Force Times, Marine Corps Times, and Navy Times, highlighting our hearing protection and enhancement technology. We believe this visibility strengthens our credibility among professional and tactical users.

 

We continue to make progress on our supply chain transition strategy in response to elevated U.S. tariffs and broader geopolitical risks. Key initiatives include relocating senior manufacturing leadership to the United States and advancing early-stage domestic production capabilities. While tariff-related cost pressures impacted fiscal 2025, we do not expect a material ongoing effect into fiscal 2026 based on current tariff levels. If tariff rates change or other changes in trade policy are implemented, the expected impact on our operations could change.

 

On July 4, 2025, legislation commonly referred to as The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S., making permanent certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and introducing changes to corporate tax provisions. We are currently assessing the impact of OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations are summarized below.

Sales, net  $6,856,218   $5,851,272 
Cost of sales   2,221,284    1,697,624 
Gross profit   4,634,934    4,153,648 
Total operating expenses   4,223,196    4,294,350 
Income (loss) from operations   411,738    (140,702)
Net income (loss) after tax  $334,294   $(109,805)

 

We calculate EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and adjusting for income taxes, interest income or expense, and depreciation and amortization. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted for stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is also presented as a percentage of revenue, which is calculated by dividing the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for a period by revenue for the same period. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA important indicators in evaluating our business on a consistent basis across various periods for trend analyses. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure included below. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended August 31, 2024

 

Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2025 increased by $1,004,946 or 17.2%, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by a material order from a leading national membership-based retail chain. The order generated significant incremental revenue and positioned us for additional shipments in subsequent periods.

 

Cost of sales includes the cost of products, freight-in costs, and depreciation related to fixed assets that are used in the production and distribution process to bring goods to their saleable condition and location. For the three months ended August 31, 2025, the overall cost of sales increased by $523,660 or 30.8%, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2025 was 32.4% as compared to 29.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2024. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to a material order with a leading national membership-based retail chain, which carried tighter margins compared to our direct-to-consumer business.

 

Gross profit increased by $481,286 or 11.6% from $4,153,648 in the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $4,634,934 for the three months ended August 31, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2025 was 67.6%, as compared to 71.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2024 Gross profit increased due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower margins related to a material order with a leading national membership-based retail chain.

 

Operating expenses decreased by $71,154 or 1.7% from $4,294,350 in the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $4,223,196 in the three months ended August 31, 2025. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2025 was 61.6% compared to 73.4% for the three months ended August 31, 2024. Included in operating expenses were non-cash stock-based compensation of $199,212 and $297,864 in the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by lower professional and consulting fees, reflecting reduced reliance on external consultants as part of our efforts to enhance operating efficiency.

 

Income from operations for the three months ended August 31, 2025, was $411,738 compared to a loss from operations of $140,702 for the three months ended August 31, 2024. The increase in income from operations of $552,440 or 392.6% was primarily related to the increase in unit sales and the resulting contribution to gross profit, in addition to gained efficiencies within the Company resulting in reduced operating expenses.

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2025, provision for income tax expense was $115,058. For the three months ended August 31, 2024, we had an income tax of $0.

 

As a result of the above, we reported a net income of $334,294 and net loss of $109,805 for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $502,032 or 291.3% from $172,323 for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $674,355 for the three months ended August 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales, net for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, was 9.8% and 2.9%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to the increase in gross profit related to higher volume of units sold.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2025 were $0.05 and $0.04, respectively, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02 for the three months ended August 31, 2024.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are currently engaged in product sales and development. Although we have experienced operating losses in prior periods, we expect to continue generating net income and positive cash flow in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026. Based on our current cash balances and anticipated operating cash flows, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet working capital needs for at least one year from the issuance date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

We plan to manage expenses relative to expected revenue and may reinvest near-term cash to support revenue growth. In recent years, we have generated sufficient cash to support our operations and required debt payments, and we expect this to continue, although we cannot provide any assurance. Management remains focused on expanding product lines and our customer base to drive revenue. However, future cash demands may exceed historical levels. If needed, we may seek additional capital, although there is no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Subject to these uncertainties, we believe we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the issuance date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended August 31, 2025, was $739,194, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $897,318 for the three months ended August 31, 2024. The decrease was related to a material order from a leading national membership-based retail chain, which we began fulfilling in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and we expect to complete in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This resulted in a significant inventory purchase, and a material increase in accounts receivable, as the order was placed near the end of the quarter.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2025 was $94,497 due to the purchase of intangibles and property and equipment for our business. For the three months ended August 31, 2024, net cash flows used in investing activities was $41,840, attributable to the cash used in the purchase of intangibles relating to our expansion into new product lines.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2025 was $150,461 primarily related to net advances made from a related party of $151,491. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2024 was $39,370 primarily related to net advances from a related party of $41,707.

 

As of August 31, 2025, we had a secured Economic Injury Disaster Loan outstanding, administered pursuant to the CARES Act in the principal amount of $139,199, with a maturity date of May 18, 2050. The Company continues to pay interest and principal on the loan.

 

We are dependent on our product sales to fund our operations and may require additional capital in the future, such as pursuant to the sale of additional common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or entering into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements with institutions or private individuals, to maintain operations, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, and could require us to sell certain assets or discontinue or curtail our operations. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and more dilutive. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans, and/or financial guarantees. We do not have any plans to seek additional financing at this time and anticipate that our existing cash equivalents and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements. However, if the need arises for additional cash, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations on favorable terms, or at all. We may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon our business plans. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of August 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Significant accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates.

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

 

The Company has a policy of providing an allowance for credit losses based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense and included in the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, typically upon shipment. In determining the transaction price, we consider discounts, promotional incentives, and expected returns. These estimates require judgment based on historical experience and current market conditions. Changes in customer behavior or promotional strategies could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if circumstances or events suggest potential impairment. Throughout the year, we monitor for indicators that might trigger an interim impairment review. Our testing may begin with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If a quantitative test is performed, fair value is estimated based on the amount a market participant would pay in a hypothetical sale of the reporting unit. When the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is considered to be not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount of the excess, limited to the total carrying amount of goodwill.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Principal Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2025, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.

 

Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our financial statements. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood of our prevailing, the availability of insurance, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we do not record an accrual, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, our ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the amounts accrued for any individual matter are not material. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that any expense, liability, or damages that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will be covered by our insurance or will not be in excess of amounts recognized or provided by insurance coverage. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that particular period.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025.
