Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Cogent Real Time Systems, Inc. (Canada), Skkynet Corp. (Canada) and Skkynet Inc (US). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash deposits are insured up to US$250,000 in US banks and CDN$100,000 in Canadian banks. The concentration of the Company’s cash deposits at times may exceed the insured amount, leaving the Company exposed to a credit risk on its deposits.
Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Current tax expense (benefit) is recognized for taxes payable for the period; deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The Company, through its subsidiary Cogent Data Systems, received a tax refund of $146,232during the six months period ending April 30, 2026. The refund qualified under the SR:ED program which grants the refunds for the cost of development of the Companies software and product development.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities, such as stock options and convertible preferred shares, were exercised or converted to common stock. The treasury method is used to calculate the effect of options, and if the converted method is used for convertible preferred shares. Securities that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
Recent adopted accounting standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting The change in this announcement requires more detailed profit and loss reporting by business segments used by the Company to determine the allocation of assets. ASU 2016-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard on October 31, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions within the scope of ASC 606. The expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. Public business entities are not permitted to elect the optional accounting policy to consider subsequent cash collections The Company adopted ASU 2025‑05 on January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, the Company elected the practical expedient for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. No other changes were made to the Company’s credit‑loss estimation methodologies.
The Company adopted ASU 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in the quarter ended January 31, 2026 consistent with the effective date for public business entities (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024). The Company applied the amendments on a prospective basis to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the current reporting period. Impact on financial statements and disclosures — Adoption of ASU 2023‑09 did not affect the Company’s measurement of income tax expense, deferred tax assets or liabilities, or its effective tax rate.
Accounts receivable
Accounts Receivable are carried at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable includes receivables from customers that have received software and support from the Company. Credit losses is a recognition of uncollectable receivables based on past years’ experience and management’s estimate of likely losses for the year. No allowance for bad debt was considered necessary for the three and six months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. |
