Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB amended ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU expands annual and interim segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and are included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments also require disclosure of an amount for other segment items and additional interim information about segment profit or loss and assets. The Company has a single reportable segment. Upon adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Company is required to provide annual and interim disclosures of significant expense categories such as cost of goods sold, selling and general and administrative expenses when those amounts are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as a description of other segment items. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement for the year ended June 30, 2025. Because ASU 2023-07 relates solely to disclosure requirements, adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB amended ASC 740, Income Taxes (issued under Accounting Standards Up

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets related to the Companys acquisitions, accruals for contingent earnout liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions, and realization of deferred tax assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. In all periods presented, cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability transferred in a transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or lia

Note 5. Contingencies Inflation Risk The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its operations to date, other than its impact on the general economy. However, there is a risk that the Companys operating costs could become subject to inflationary and interest rate pressures in the future, which would have the effect of increasing the Companys operating costs, and which would put additional stress on the Companys working capital resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB amended ASC 740, Income Taxes (issued under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures). This ASU requires additional disclosures related to the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other amendments intended to enhance effectiveness and comparability. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2026 annual disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its annual disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) which requires disclosure each reporting period, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The new requirements will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit.
