The 2026 Plan allows for the grant of various equity awards including incentive stock options, non-statutory options, stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights and other similar equity-based awards to the Companys employees, officers, non-employee directors, contractors, consultants and advisors of the Company.

Fair value · 2,622 characters as filed

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS As of June 30, 2026 , cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities include the Companys investments in money market funds, municipal debt securities and corporate debt securities. Debt securities are required to be accounted for in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities . As such, the Company determined its investments in debt securities held at June 30, 2026 should be classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders equity. The cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts to maturity. This amortization is included in other income and expense. Realized gains and losses, as well as interest income, are also included in other income and expense. The fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices to the extent available or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the noncurrent restricted cash approximates fair value since, absent the restrictions, the underlying assets would be included in cash and cash equivalents. Accounting standards permit companies, at their option, to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has electe

Revenue recognition · 5,392 characters as filed

2. REVENUE Revenue Recognition All revenue is recognized when the performance obligations under a contract, including any product vouchers sold on a stand-alone basis in Hong Kong, are satisfied. Product sales are recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to independent members. Product sales to members are made pursuant to a member agreement that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon the Companys delivery to the carrier that completes delivery to the members, which is commonly referred to as F.O.B. Shipping Point. The Companys sales arrangements do not contain right of inspection or customer acceptance provisions other than general rights of return. These contracts are generally short-term in nature. Actual product returns are recorded as a reduction to net sales. The Company estimates and accrues a reserve for product returns based on its return policies and historical experience. The reserve is based upon the return policy of each country, which varies from 14 days to one year, and their historical return rates, which range from 1% to 10% of sales. Sales returns were 1% of sales for each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 . No material changes in estimates have been recognized during the periods presented. See Note 3 for additional information. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed after title has passed to members as a fulfillment cost, and accrues for the costs of shipping and han

Segment reporting · 5,085 characters as filed

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company sells products to a member network that operates in a seamless manner from market to market, except for the China market where it sells to some consumers through an e-commerce retail platform, and the Russia and Kazakhstan market where the Companys engagement of a third -party service provider results in a different economic structure than its other markets. The Company believes that all of its other operating segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers products are sold to, the methods used to distribute the products, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Therefore, the Company aggregates its other operating segments (including its Hong Kong operating segment) into a single reporting segment (the Primary Reporting Unit). The Companys CODM is its President, who reviews financial information presented on a geographic basis. The CODM primarily uses net sales, gross profit and operating profit in assessing segment performance and determining the allocation of resources. The CODM also uses gross profit for evaluating pricing strategy. The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are generally made in consultation with senior management, which the CODM is a member. Segment operating income is adjusted for certain direct costs and commission allocations. The CODM also reg
