Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. The following are the key accounting estimates and policies that are important for understanding the company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition The company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The company’s license agreements have three performance obligations: (i) Grant of Use, (ii) Technical Support, and (iii) New Improvements. The standalone selling price of the Grant of Use is determined by comparing the average royalty rate for comparable license agreements. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied, with the Grant of Use recognized upfront and the Technical Support and New Improvements recognized over the contract period.
Royalty Income The company earns royalty income from the sales of licensed products by its licensees. When royalties exceed the contractual minimum annual royalties, the excess is recognized as fee income in the period it was earned. Certain fees are paid in advance, resulting in deferred revenue.
Allowance for Credit Losses Royalty receivables are stated less an allowance for credit losses, which represents estimated uncollectible receivables, usually due to licensees’ potential insolvency. The allowance includes amounts for certain licensees where the risk of default has been identified. The company evaluates the collectability of receivables quarterly and records appropriate allowances.
Results of Operations
Overview The majority of the company’s fee income comes from the automotive market, which it expects to be the largest source of royalty income over the next several years. Royalty income from this market can be influenced by factors such as trends in automotive demand, the rate of new technology introduction, whether the company’s technology is standard or optional equipment, vehicle production volumes, and pricing or exchange rate changes.
Q1 2025 vs. Q1 2024
- Fee income increased 79% to $559,776, primarily due to higher automotive royalties.
- Operating expenses increased 0.5% to $636,476, driven by higher payroll and occupancy costs, partially offset by lower marketing and patent costs.
- R&D expenses increased 8.8% to $162,877, mainly from higher occupancy costs.
- Net investment income decreased to $14,533 from $27,146 due to lower cash balances.
- The company recorded $47,357 in other income from an Employee Retention Credit.
- Net loss improved to $177,687 ($0.01 per share) from $442,604 ($0.01 per share).
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources The company uses its cash, cash equivalents, and investments to fund R&D, marketing, and other working capital needs. Its working capital requirements depend on factors like R&D activities, competitive developments, patent costs, and changes in licensee relationships.
In Q1 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $641,381 due to cash used in operations. As of March 31, 2025, the company had $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $2.3 million in working capital, and $2.4 million in total shareholders’ equity.
The company expects its current cash and cash equivalents to fund operations for more than the next five years. It plans to use cash for continued R&D, expanded marketing, and other working capital needs. The company’s future success depends on the commercialization of its technology by licensees and the resulting royalty payments.
