Note 8 – Other Assets and Other Receivable

 

Other Assets

 

The Company has other assets of $1,267,000 as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, consisting of the first mortgage position on the production facility it leases in Pisco, Peru, which the Company acquired to protect its long-term strategic interests. See Note 7, Property and Equipment for additional information.

 

Other Receivable

 

The Company’s Peruvian operations are subject to an 18% value-added tax (“VAT”) or (“Impuesto General a las Ventas” or “IGV”) on substantially all purchases and exports of goods and services. IGV paid on purchases can be offset against IGV collected on exports, with the net amount either remitted to, or recovered from, the Peruvian tax authority (SUNAT), as applicable. This receivable is recoverable through future offsets of IGV payable or, in certain circumstances, through a refund claim. IGV does not represent an expense of the Company when recoverable and is recorded as an asset until applied or refunded.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s Peruvian operations had paid more IGV on purchases than it had collected on sales, resulting in a net IGV receivable of $1.56 million, of which $0.77 million is classified in Prepaids and Other Current Assets (see Note 6).
