NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

There have been no changes to our accounting policies disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, ("Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”) as follows:

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which sets out the principles for the recognition of measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This standard provides guidance on the impairment of financial instruments that is based on expected losses rather than probable or incurred losses. Under this new guidance, the Company will recognize, as an allowance, our estimate of expected credit losses based upon historical

and current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances, as well as estimates of prepayments. Under this model, we are required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.

 

Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable after considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. This estimate is a result of management's evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations.

 

The Company shall recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset for debt securities. To determine credit losses, we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence. In addition, we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee.

 

Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023, there was no immediate material impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On an ongoing basis, the Company will contemplate forward-looking economic conditions in recording lifetime expected credit losses for the Company’s financial assets measured at cost, such as the Company’s trade receivables and certain short-term investments.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including those related to determination of standalone selling prices of our products and services, allowance for doubtful account and sales reserves, income tax valuations, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and inventory valuations and recoverability. We base our estimates on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that our management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. The Company reviews the impairment of goodwill for impairment annually at yearend. The Company completed its annual assessment for goodwill impairment and determined that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2022 and no adjustment was required.

 

In June 2023, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill, as a result of the overall financial performance of OSS Classic as compared to plan, the transition of and focus on our product strategy of AI Transportables and the defense industry, deferment of certain orders. As a result of this interim evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment loss to goodwill of $2,700,000, which was charged to operating expenses in the current period.

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine war, inflationary pressures, other macroeconomic factors, the loss of our media and entertainment customer (which has historically been one of our largest customers), there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy, financial markets and our ongoing operations. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of this Quarterly Report. These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements through the date of these consolidated financial statements and believes that the are no recent accounting pronouncements that will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Employee Retention Credit

 

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provides tax relief, along with other stimulus measures, including a provision for an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) The ERC was designed to encourage businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, we accounted for the ERC funding consistent with our accounting treatment and reporting of the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan.

 

The credit is based upon the number of employees in any given quarter in years 2020 and 2021. For the year 2020, the maximum credit is based upon the lesser of 50% of eligible wages or $5,000 for the year. For the first three quarters only of the year 2021, the maximum quarterly credit is based upon the lesser of 70% of eligible wages or $7,000 per quarter. The total maximum program credit per employee is $26,000.

 

The Company applied for the ERC program and as of June 30, 2023, has received $1,516,034 in credits, including interest, and paid commissions of $217,793 to a vendor who assisted with the calculations and filing of the application. The net proceeds of $1,298,241 have been reported as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Income is recognized when reasonably assured of receipt based upon notice.
