SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivables, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term and tangible and intangible assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing warrant liabilities, and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company’s cash consists of cash on deposit with banks. Cash equivalents represent money market funds or short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are generally recorded at the invoiced amounts net of an allowance for expected losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. The allowance for accounts receivable is established through a provision reducing the carrying value of receivables. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management recorded an allowance for credit losses of $69,000, reflecting expectations regarding collectability.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory consists primarily of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods related to the Company’s golf equipment products.

 

The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records provisions for excess, slow-moving, or potentially obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated future product demand and the Company’s ability to sell the related products.

 

Demand for the Company’s products may fluctuate due to factors such as changes in consumer preferences, product life cycles, competitive product introductions, and general market conditions, which could result in slower inventory turnover or reductions in the rate of orders placed by customers.

 

The Company also performs periodic physical inventory counts and cycle counts to verify recorded inventory quantities. Adjustments may be recorded when differences are identified between recorded inventory balances and physical inventory on hand, including adjustments related to product costing or bill of materials assumptions maintained within the Company’s enterprise resource planning system.

 

Management’s estimates of future product demand and net realizable value require judgment and may differ from actual results, which could result in adjustments to inventory carrying values in future periods.

 

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management recorded reserves for slow-moving and potentially obsolete inventory of $121,000 and $135,000, respectively.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and the guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products is transferred to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer.

 

All of the Company’s products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.

 

The Company does not allow for returns after 30 days, except for damaged products when the damage occurred pre-fulfillment. Damaged product returns have historically been insignificant. Because of this, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts, we do not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

 

   June 30, 2026   June 30, 2025 
Stock options   64,586    18,442 
Restricted Stock Units   1,384,951    - 
Warrants from Convertible Note   225,000    - 
Series A Warrants   2,300,000    268,333 
Series B Warrants   288,834    303,120 
Total   4,263,371    589,895 

 

There are currently 16,849 remaining Series B Warrants outstanding that will convert into 288,834 shares of common stock upon the alternative cashless exercise.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Third-party advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Advertising costs aggregated $698,000 and $1,230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, prototype expenses, and consulting services associated with research and development equipment. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $696,000 and $425,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to employees, directors, and consultants in non-capital raising transactions for services. The Company accounts for these awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), whereby the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in the Company’s statements of operations based on the nature of the services rendered. The fair value of RSU awards is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

 

The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions regarding the expected term of the award, expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield.

 

 

The expected term of stock options granted to employees is determined using the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as plain-vanilla options. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is generally based on the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is zero, as the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. ASC Section 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of long-term financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

The Company utilizes level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy to determine the fair market value of its warrant liability.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

Cash Balances. The Company’s cash balances on deposits with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. From time to time, however, the Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in bank accounts in excess of the FDIC limit. To minimize the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. All of the non-interest-bearing cash balances were fully insured as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

Accounts Receivable. As of June 30, 2026, two customers accounted for more than 15% and 14% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, two customers accounted for more than 19% and 17% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no other customers exceeded 10% of accounts receivable.

 

Net sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no customer exceeded 10% of net sales.

 

Segments

 

Under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has a single operating segment. Therefore, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating segment for the manufacture and distribution of its products.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
