| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in Lifeloc’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

| Inventories | Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of standard average cost or net realizable value. We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value after cost to sell, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, inventory consisted of the following:

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. We estimate that our current effective tax rate to be 0% for 2026.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 using the five-step model: identifying the contract with a customer, identifying performance obligations, determining and allocating the transaction price, and recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
Our contracts generally contain a single performance obligation to deliver products or supplies. Transaction prices are fixed and determinable at order acceptance. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment when title has passed.
For product development arrangements, revenue is recognized upon achievement of contractual milestones. Sales to stocking distributors are recognized when control transfers and there are no rights of return other than standard warranty provisions. We generally have no significant post-delivery obligations other than standard warranties.
The sales of licenses to our training courses are recognized as revenue at the time of sale. Training and certification revenues are recognized at the time the training and certification occurs. Data recording revenue is recognized based on each day’s usage of enrolled devices.
Revenues arising from extended warranty contracts are booked as sales over their life on a straight-line basis. We have discontinued arranging for customer financing and leasing through unrelated third parties and instead are providing for customer financing and leasing ourselves, which we recognize as revenue over the applicable lease term. Occasionally, we rent used equipment to customers, and in those cases, we recognize the revenues as they are earned over the life of the contract.
Royalty income is recognized in accordance with agreed upon terms, when performance obligations are satisfied, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
On occasion we receive customer deposits for future product orders and product developments. Customer deposits are initially recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue when the product is shipped and title has passed to the customer, or when agreed milestones are met in the case of product developments.

| Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenues arise from service contracts and from direct training revenue. Revenues from service contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, generally one year, and are included in product revenue in our statements of income (loss). However, there are occasions when they are written for longer terms up to four years. The revenues from that portion of the contract that extend beyond one year are shown in our balance sheets as long term. Deferred revenues also result from direct training revenue that needs to be scheduled based on the customer’s and Lifeloc’s availability. Revenue is recognized when training is complete and is included in product sales in our statements of income. All direct training is for less than one year and all deferred revenues from this source are shown in our balance sheets as short term.

| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
The Company does not believe that issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
