On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”) was signed into law. The provisions of the bill solidify numerous tax law changes originally enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) of 2017. The provisions of the OBBB are reflected in the Q3 2025 financial statements, which is the period the OBBB was enacted.

 

Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law in 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act through September 30, 2021, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. The Company has elected an accounting policy to recognize the government assistance when it is probable that the Company is eligible to receive the assistance and present the credit as a reduction of the related expense. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $96,992 and $1,129,164, respectively, in other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to U.S. Federal Government refunds.
