The Company consolidates any variable interest entities of which it is the primary beneficiary. Equity investments through which the Company exercises significant influence over but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee, and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The areas requiring significant estimates are the measurement of progress toward completion of long-term software implementation projects, the allocation of the transaction price in multiple performance obligations, expected credit loss on accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, the determination of stock-based compensation expense and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance, except balances maintained in China are insured for RMB500,000 ($69,735) in each bank and in the UK for GBP 85,000 ($116,438) in each bank. The Company maintains three bank accounts in China and nine bank accounts in the UK. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $16,386,079 and $18,182,002, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out globally. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments of each country and by the general state of the country’s economy. The Company’s operations in each foreign country are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in economically developed nations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instrument -Credit Losses, based on expected losses over the contractual life of the receivables. In measuring expected credit losses, management considers historical loss experience, customer credit quality, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance is evaluated collectively for groups of receivables with similar risk characteristics, with specific reserves established for receivables that do not share those characteristics or when collectability is uncertain. Receivables are written off against the allowance when collection efforts have been exhausted and recovery is not expected. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognized when received.

Revenues in Excess of Billings

Revenues in Excess of Billings

 

Revenues in excess of billings represent the total of the project to be billed to the customer for revenues recognized per US GAAP. As the customers are billed under the terms of their contract, the corresponding amount is transferred from this account to “Accounts Receivable.” The Company recognizes the potential risk associated with recognizing revenues in excess of billings, including the risk of non-payment by the customer. Therefore, management continually assesses the collectability of such amounts and makes appropriate provisions or adjustments if collectability becomes doubtful.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to twenty years. Following is the summary of estimated useful lives of the assets:

 

Category   Estimated Useful Life
     
Computer equipment and software   3 to 5 Years
Office furniture and equipment   5 to 10 Years
Building   20 Years
Autos   5 Years
Assets under capital leases   3 to 10 Years
Improvements   5 to 10 Years

 

The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.”

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development expenses are comprised of salaries, benefits and overhead expenses of employees involved in software product enhancement and development, cost of outside contractors engaged to perform quality assurance, software product enhancement and development (if any). Development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Valuations consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and has the highest priority.

 

Level 2: Valuations rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3: Valuations are based on prices or third party or internal valuation models that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and are less observable and thus have the lowest priority.

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025, are as follows:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Assets  
Revenues in excess of billings - long term   $ -     $ -     $ 903,766     $ 903,766  
Total   $     -     $    -     $ 903,766     $ 903,766  

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024, are as follows:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Assets  
Revenues in excess of billings - long term   $ -     $ -     $ 954,029     $ 954,029  
Total   $       -     $       -     $ 954,029     $ 954,029

The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. 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 as 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 benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations.

Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows

 

The Company’s cash flows from operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The Company adopted the standard on a retrospective basis and made the required annual disclosures as of June 30, 2025. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2026. As the guidance only requires additional disclosure, there were no effects of adoption on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 17 – Segment Information and Geographic Areas for the segment disclosure required under this ASU.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by the Company

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic ASC 740) Income Taxes. This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregated income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For the Company, this corresponds to fiscal year 2026. The amendments will be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application for prior periods is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU to result in additional disclosures but does not anticipate any impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization from each relevant expense caption. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year 2028 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which corresponds to the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted but not required. The Company plans to adopt the standard and make the required disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2028 for annual periods and in Q1 of fiscal 2029 for interim periods. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU to result in additional disclosures but does not anticipate any impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
