ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
Escalon Medical Corp. ("Escalon" or "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation initially incorporated in California in 1987, and reincorporated in Pennsylvania in November 2001. Within this document, the “Company” collectively shall mean Escalon, which includes its division called "Trek" and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed, Inc. (“Sonomed”), Escalon Digital Solutions, Inc. (“EMI”), and Sonomed IP Holdings, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical devices for ophthalmic applications. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The FDA and other government authorities requires extensive testing of new products prior to sale and has jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing.
A-Scans
The A-Scan provides information about the internal structure of the eye by sending a beam of ultrasound along a fixed axis through the eye and displaying the various echoes reflected from the surfaces intersected by the beam. The principal echoes occur at the cornea, both surfaces of the lens and the retina. The system displays the position and magnitudes of the echoes on an electronic display. The A-Scan also includes software for measuring distances within the eye. This information is primarily used to calculate lens power for implants.
B-Scans
The B-Scan is primarily a diagnostic tool that supplies information to physicians where the media within the eye are cloudy or opaque. Whereas physicians normally use light, which cannot pass through such media, the ultrasound beam is capable of passing through the opacity and displaying an image of the internal structures of the eye. Unlike the A-Scan, the B-Scan transducer is not in a fixed position; it swings through a 60 degree sector to provide a two-dimensional image of the eye.
UBM
The UBM is a high frequency/high resolution ultrasound device, designed to provide highly detailed information about the anterior segment of the eye. The UBM is used for glaucoma evaluation, tumor evaluation and differentiation, pre- and post-intraocular lens implantation and corneal refractive surgery. The device allows the surgeons to perform precise measurements within the anterior chamber of the eye.
Pachymeters
The pachymeter uses the same principles as the A-Scan, but the system is tailored to measure the thickness of the cornea. Central corneal thickness is used in the calculation of intraocular pressure. Pachymetry is also used by refractive surgeons to screen candidates and help plan surgery.
Ispan Intraocular Gases
The Company distributes two intraocular gas products C3F8 and SF6, which are used by vitreoretinal surgeons as a temporary tamponade in detached retina surgery. Under a non-exclusive distribution agreement with AirGas, Inc. (AirGas"), the Company distributes packages of AirGas gases in canisters containing up to 25 grams of gas. Along with the intraocular gases, the Company manufactures and distributes a patented disposable universal gas kit, which delivers the gas from the canister to the patient.
Surgical Packs
The Company markets disposable surgical packs used in vitreoretinal surgery, including packs which aid surgeons in the process of injecting and extracting silicone oil.
AXIS Image Management
The AXIS Image Management system easily manages ophthalmic diagnostic images via a web browser from any device regardless of modality, device manufacturer or location.
Research and Development
The development of ultrasound ophthalmic equipment and AXIS Image Management system are performed at the Company’s Lake Success, New York facility. Company-sponsored research and development expenditures from operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $753,000 and $688,000, respectively.
Manufacturing and Distribution
The Company assembles and distributes its ophthalmic surgical products at its 7,440 square foot leased facility in New Berlin, WI. The Company designs, assembles, and services its ophthalmic ultrasound products at its 6,278 square foot leased facility in Lake Success, NY. In addition to performing its own assembly, the Company subcontracts component manufacturing, sterilization, and other services to various qualified vendors.
The Company has registered its facilities with the FDA and has attained ISO 13485 certification for its facilities and medical devices. ISO 13485 requires an implemented quality system that applies to product design, manufacture, installation, and servicing. Certification can be obtained only after an audit of a company’s quality system by a qualified independent outside auditor and requires regular reexamination. The Company has obtained European Community certification (“CE-Mark”) for many of its medical devices.
The manufacture, testing, and marketing of each of the Company’s products entails risk of product liability. The Company carries product liability insurance to cover primary risk.
Governmental Regulations
The Company’s products are subject to stringent ongoing regulation by the FDA and similar health authorities, and if these governmental approvals or clearances of the Company’s products are restricted or revoked, the Company could face delays that would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.
The Company has received the necessary FDA and other necessary regulations clearances and approvals for all products that the Company currently markets. The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical and medical device equipment and related disposables, including the obligation to adhere to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Compliance with these regulations requires detailed validation of manufacturing and quality control practices, FDA periodic inspections and other procedures. If the FDA finds any deficiencies the FDA may impose restrictions on marketing the specific products until such deficiencies are corrected.
The FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries extensively regulate the Company’s activities. The Company must obtain either 510(K) clearances or pre-market approvals and new drug application approvals prior to marketing a product in the United States. Foreign regulation also requires that the Company obtain other approvals from foreign government agencies prior to the sale of products in those countries. Also, the Company may be required to obtain FDA clearance or approval before exporting a product or device that has not received FDA marketing clearance or approval.
The Company has received CE Mark on several of the Company’s products that allows the Company to sell the products in the countries comprising the European Community. CE Mark indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. In addition to the CE Mark, some foreign countries require separate individual foreign regulatory clearances.
Marketing and Sales
The Company's products are sold through independent sales representatives, a network of distributors, and internal sales employees directly to medical institutions, throughout the world.
Service and Support
The Company maintains a full-service program for all products sold. The Company provides limited warranties on all products against defects and performance. Product repairs are made at the Company's New York facility for ultrasound products. Service support for AXIS Imaging Management and surgical products are provided remotely.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
The pharmaceutical and medical device communities place considerable importance on obtaining patent and trade secret protection for new technologies, products and processes for the purpose of strengthening the Company’s position in the market place and protecting the Company’s economic interests. The Company’s policy is to protect its technology by aggressively obtaining patent protection for substantially all of its developments and products, both in the United States and in selected countries outside the United States. It is the Company’s policy to file for patent protection in those foreign countries in which the Company believes such protection is necessary to protect its economic interests. The duration of the Company’s patents, trademarks and licenses vary through 2027. The Company has two United States patents that cover the Company’s technology. The Company believes that the impact of the patents is minimal in that our current products and revenue are driven less by our patents and more by our knowledge and trade secrets.
The Company intends to vigorously defend its patents if the need arises.
Competition
There are numerous direct and indirect competitors of the Company in the United States and abroad. These competitors include ophthalmic-oriented companies that market a broad portfolio of products, including companies that market prescription devices and pharmaceuticals exclusively for ophthalmic indications and integrated companies that market products for ophthalmic and other indications.
Several large companies dominate the ophthalmic market, with the balance of the industry being highly fragmented and comprised of smaller companies ranging from start-up entities to established market players. The ophthalmic market in general is intensely competitive, with each company eager to expand its market share. The Company’s strategy is to compete primarily on the basis of technological innovation to which it has proprietary rights. The Company believes, therefore, that its business will depend in large part on protecting its intellectual property through maintaining trade secrets, patents, and other governmental regulations.
Sonomed has had a leading presence in the ophthalmic ultrasound industry for over 30 years. Management believes that this has helped Sonomed build a reputation as a long-standing operation that provides a quality product, which has enabled the Company to establish effective distribution coverage throughout the world. Various competitors offering similar products at a lower price could threaten Sonomed’s market position. The development of optical technologies for ophthalmic biometrics and imaging may also diminish the Company’s market position. This equipment can be used instead of ultrasound equipment in certain applications with some advantage. Such equipment, however, is more expensive.
To remain competitive, the Company needs to maintain a low-cost operation. There are numerous other companies that can provide this manufacturing service.
The Company believes it establishes competitive advantage by offering technical innovation, product features, low total cost of ownership, and capable and responsive technical support.
Human Capital
As of June 30, 2025, the Company employed 39 employees. Of these employees, 18 of the Company’s employees are employed in manufacturing, 15 are employed in general and administrative positions, and 6 are employed in sales and marketing. The Company’s employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTOR
In addition to other information contained in this report on Form 10-K, the following Risk Factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Financial Risks
Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, we have compiled these financial statements based on the assumption there is substantial doubt related to our ability to continued as a going concern.
Our operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect our operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuous enhancement of the current products, development of new products; changes in domestic and foreign regulations; ability to manufacture successfully; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, our products and our ability to raise capital to support our operations.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $68.4 million, and had incurred historical recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities in prior years except for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2025. While the overall trend has been toward profitability, the Company had net profit for just two years of the last five years, and currently the Company has adverse ratios of cash to current liabilities and days payable outstanding. Additionally, there is uncertainty in the market related to the tariffs and the related impacts to the international business and supply chain cost impacts. The question remains whether the Company will keep the profitability trend and sales growth. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
As a result of above matters, our independent auditors have indicated in their report on our June 30, 2025 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A "going concern" opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of our creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to our stockholders, in the event of liquidation.
Our continued operations will ultimately depend on the ability to be profitable from our operations and the ongoing support of our stockholders and creditors.
There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States GAAP. Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and operating results.
The consolidated financial statements included in the periodic reports the Company files with the SEC are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets (including intangible assets), liabilities and inventories, revenues, expenses and income. This includes estimates, judgments and assumptions for assessing the recoverability of the Company’s other intangible assets, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance. If any estimates, judgments or assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional expenses or impairment charges. Any resulting expense or impairment loss would be recorded as a charge against the Company's earnings and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and operating results. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to change in the future, and any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets (including goodwill and other intangible assets), liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and operating results.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, among others, those relating to:
•sales returns;
•allowances for doubtful accounts;
•inventories;
•intangible assets;
•right-of-use assets;
•income and other tax accruals;
•deferred tax asset valuation allowances;
•sales discounts;
•warranty obligations;
•contingencies and litigation.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s assumptions and estimates may, however, prove to have been incorrect and the Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it makes are reasonable, any changes to the Company’s assumptions or estimates, or any actual results which differ from the Company’s assumptions or estimates, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and operating results. Improper design and implementation of internal control related to the estimates could result in misstatement of financial reports.
Operational Risk
Any acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures that the Company effects, if any, could result in financial results that differ from market expectations.
In the normal course of business, the Company engages in discussions with third parties regarding possible acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. As a result of any such transactions, of which the Company cannot assure that any will occur, the Company’s financial results may differ from the investment community’s expectations in a given quarter. In addition, acquisitions and alliances may require the Company to integrate a different company culture, management team, business infrastructure, accounting systems and financial reporting systems. The Company may not be able to effect any such acquisitions or alliances. The Company may have difficulty developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly acquired business in a way that enhances the performance of the Company’s combined businesses or product lines to realize the value from any expected synergies. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, the Company’s successful integration of the entity depends on a variety of factors, including the retention of key employees and the management of facilities and employees in separate geographical areas. These efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert the Company’s attention from other business operations. Also, the Company’s results may be adversely impacted because of acquisition-related costs, amortization costs for certain intangible assets and impairment losses related to goodwill in connection with such transactions. Finally, acquisitions or alliances by the Company may not occur, which could impair the Company’s growth.
The Company’s results fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
The Company has experienced quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipates continued fluctuations in the future. A number of factors contribute to these fluctuations:
•The timing and expense of new product introductions by the Company or its competitors, although the Company might not successfully develop new products and any such new products may not gain market acceptance;
•The cancellation or delays in the purchase of the Company’s products;
•Fluctuations in customer demand for the Company’s products;
•Changes in domestic and foreign regulations;
•The gain or loss of significant customers;
•Changes in the mix of products sold by the Company;
•Competitive pressures on prices at which the Company can sell its products;
•Announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors;
•Litigation costs and settlements; and
•General economic conditions and other external factors such as energy costs.
The Company sets its spending levels in advance of each quarter based, in part, on the Company’s expectations of product orders and shipments during that quarter. A shortfall in revenue, therefore, in any particular quarter as compared to the Company’s plan could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Also, the Company’s quarterly results could fluctuate due to general market conditions in the healthcare industry or global economy generally, or market volatility unrelated to the Company’s business and operating results.
Failure of the market to accept the Company’s products could adversely impact the Company’s business and financial condition.
The Company’s business and financial condition will depend in part upon the market acceptance of the Company’s products. The Company’s products may not achieve or maintain market acceptance. Market acceptance depends on a number of factors including:
•The price of the products;
•The continued receipt of regulatory approvals for multiple indications;
•The establishment and demonstration of the clinical safety and efficacy of the Company’s products; and
•The advantages of the Company’s products over those marketed by the Company’s competitors.
Any failure to achieve or maintain significant market acceptance of the Company’s products will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
The success of products with which the Company’s products compete could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.
The Company faces intense competition in the medical device and pharmaceutical markets, which are characterized by rapidly changing technology, short product life cycles, cyclical oversupply and rapid price erosion. Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources. The Company’s strategy is to compete primarily on the basis of technological innovation, reliability, quality and price of the Company’s products. Without timely introductions of new products and enhancements, the Company’s products will become technologically obsolete over time, in which case the Company’s revenues and operating results would suffer. The success of the Company’s new product offerings will depend on several factors, including the Company’s ability to:
•Properly identify customer needs;
•Innovate and develop new technologies, services and applications;
•Establish adequate product distribution coverage;
•Obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals from the FDA and other regulatory agencies;
•Protect the Company’s intellectual property;
•Successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;
•Manufacture and deliver the Company’s products in sufficient volumes on time;
•Differentiate the Company’s offerings from the offerings of the Company’s competitors;
•Price the Company’s products competitively;
•Anticipate competitors’ announcements of new products, services or technological innovations; and
•Anticipate general market and economic conditions.
The Company may not be able to compete effectively in the competitive environments in which the Company operates.
Lack of availability of key system components could result in delays, increased costs or costly redesign of the Company’s products.
Although some of the parts and components used to manufacture the Company’s products are available from multiple sources, the Company currently purchases most of the Company’s components and outsourced finished goods from single sources in an effort to obtain volume discounts. Lack of availability of any of these parts, components and finished goods could result in production delays, increased costs or costly redesign of the Company’s products. Any loss of availability of an essential component or finished good could result in a material adverse change to the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of the Company’s suppliers are subject to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Failure of these suppliers to comply with those regulations could result in the delay
or limitation of the supply of parts or components to the Company, which would adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The supply chain challenges could increase the costs of products and the numbers of backorders and could adversely affect our results of operations.
The Company is dependent on its management and key personnel to succeed.
The Company’s principal executive officers and technical personnel have extensive experience with the Company’s products, the Company’s research and development efforts, the development of marketing and sales programs and the necessary support services to be provided to the Company’s customers. Also, the Company competes with other companies, universities, research entities and other organizations to attract and retain qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s executive officers or other technical personnel, or the Company’s failure to attract and retain other skilled and experienced personnel, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to maintain or expand businesses.
Legal, Regulatory and Global
The Company’s products are subject to stringent ongoing regulation by the FDA and similar domestic and foreign health care regulatory authorities, and if the regulatory approvals or clearances of the Company’s products are restricted or revoked, the Company could face delays that would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.
The FDA and similar health care regulatory authorities in foreign countries extensively regulate the Company’s activities. The Company must obtain either 510(K) clearances or pre-market approvals and new drug application approvals prior to marketing any products in the United States. Foreign regulation also requires that the Company obtain other approvals from foreign government agencies prior to the sale of products in those countries. Also, the Company may be required to obtain FDA approval before exporting a product or device that has not received FDA marketing clearance or approval.
The Company has received the necessary FDA approvals for all products that the Company currently markets in the United States. Any restrictions on or revocation of the FDA approvals and clearances that the Company has obtained, however, would prevent the continued marketing of the impacted products and other devices. The restrictions or revocations could result from the discovery of previously unknown problems with the product. Consequently, FDA revocation would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.
The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical and medical device equipment and related disposables, including the obligation to adhere to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Compliance with these regulations requires time-consuming detailed validation of manufacturing and quality control processes, FDA periodic inspections and other procedures. If the FDA finds any deficiencies in the validation processes, for example, the FDA may impose restrictions on marketing the specific products until such deficiencies are corrected.
The Company has received CE Mark on several of the Company’s products that allows the Company to sell the products in the countries comprising the European Community. In addition to the CE Mark, however, some foreign countries may require separate individual foreign regulatory clearances. The Company may not be able to obtain regulatory clearances for other products in the United States or foreign markets.
The process for obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals underlying clinical studies for any new products or devices and for multiple indications for existing products is lengthy and will require substantial commitments of Company’s financial resources and Company’s management’s time and effort. Any delay in obtaining clearances or approvals or any changes in existing regulatory requirements would materially adversely impact the Company’s business.
The Company’s failure to comply with the applicable regulations would subject the Company to fines, delays or suspensions of approvals or clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions, injunctions or civil or criminal penalties, which would adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s products employ proprietary technology, and this technology may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
The Company holds several United States and foreign patents for the Company’s products. Other parties, however, hold patents relating to similar products and technologies. If patents held by others were adjudged valid and interpreted broadly in an adversarial proceeding, the court or agency could deem them to cover one or more aspects of the Company’s products or procedures. Any claims for patent infringements or claims by the Company for patent enforcement would consume time, result in costly litigation, divert technical and management personnel or require the Company to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. The Company may become subject to one or more claims for patent infringement. The Company may not prevail in any such action, and the Company’s patents may not afford protection against competitors with similar technology.
If a court determines that any of the Company’s products infringes, directly or indirectly, on a patent in a particular market, the court may enjoin the Company from making, using or selling the product. Furthermore, the Company may be required to pay damages or obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available, on acceptable terms.
The Company’s ability to market or sell the Company’s products may be adversely impacted by limitations on reimbursements by government programs, private insurance plans and other third-party payers.
The Company’s customers bill various third party-payers, including government programs and private insurance plans, for the health care services provided to their patients. Third-party payers may reimburse the customer, usually at a fixed rate based on the procedure performed, or may deny reimbursement if they determine that the use of the Company’s products was elective, unnecessary, inappropriate, not cost-effective, experimental or used for a non-approved indication. Third-party payers may deny reimbursement notwithstanding FDA approval or clearance of a product and may challenge the prices charged for the medical products and services. The Company’s ability to sell the Company’s products on a profitable basis may be adversely impacted by denials of reimbursement or limitations on reimbursement, compared with reimbursement available for competitive products and procedures. New legislation that further reduces reimbursements under the capital cost pass-through system utilized in connection with the Medicare program could also adversely impact the marketing of the Company’s products.
The Company may become involved in product liability litigation, which may subject the Company to liability and divert management attention.
The testing and marketing of the Company’s products entails an inherent risk of product liability, resulting in claims based upon injuries or alleged injuries or a failure to diagnose associated with a product defect. Some of these injuries may not become evident for a number of years. Although the Company is not currently involved in any product liability litigation, the Company may be party to litigation in the future as a result of an alleged claim. Litigation, regardless of the merits of the claim or outcome, could consume a great deal of the Company’s time and attention away from the Company’s core businesses. The Company maintains limited product liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, with umbrella policy coverage of $5,000,000 in excess of such amounts. A successful product liability claim in excess of any insurance coverage may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s product liability insurance coverage may not continue to be available to the Company in the future on reasonable terms or at all.
The Company’s international operations could be adversely impacted by changes in laws or policies of foreign governmental agencies and social and economic conditions in the countries in which the Company operates.
The Company derives a portion of its revenue from sales outside the United States. Changes in the laws or policies of governmental agencies, as well as social and economic conditions, in the countries in which the Company operates could impact the Company’s business in these countries and the Company’s results of operations. Also, economic factors, including inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and competitive factors such as price competition, business combinations of competitors or a decline in industry sales from continued economic weakness, both in the United States and other countries in which the Company conducts business, could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.
The impact of terrorism or acts of war could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
Terrorist acts or acts of war, whether in the United States or abroad, could cause damage or disruption to the Company’s operations, its suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As military activity proceeds and sanctions, export controls and other measures are imposed by many countries against Russia, Belarus and specific areas of Ukraine, the war is increasingly affecting the global economy and financial markets, as well as exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including
rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption. The Company has operations or activities in countries and regions outside the United States. As a result, its global operations are affected by economic, political and other conditions in the foreign countries in which it does business as well as U.S. laws regulating international trade, although the Company has not yet assessed that the war has had a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
The Company’s charter documents and Pennsylvania law may inhibit a takeover.
Certain provisions of Pennsylvania law and the Company’s Bylaws could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. These provisions could limit the share price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with directors in each class elected for three-year terms. The Bylaws impose various procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. The Company’s Board of Directors may issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval on such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and preferences, as the Board may determine. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely impacted by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.
Healthcare policy changes, including pending proposals to reform the U.S. healthcare system and implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act, may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade. There have been and continue to be proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to keep these costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, would impose limitations on the prices the Company will be able to charge for the Company’s products, or the amounts of reimbursement available for its products from governmental agencies or third-party payers. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Changes in the healthcare industry in the U.S. and elsewhere could adversely affect the demand for the Company’s products as well as the way in which the Company conducts the Company’s business. The 2010 Affordable Care Act provides that most individuals must have health insurance, establishes new regulations on health plans, and creates insurance pooling mechanisms and other expanded public health care measures.
The Company anticipates that the healthcare reform legislation will further reduce Medicare spending on services provided by hospitals and other providers and further forms sales or excise tax on the medical device manufacturing sector. Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the federal and state level. The Company cannot predict what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the federal or state level, or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on the Company. However, an expansion in government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry may lower reimbursements for the Company’s products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect the Company’s business, possibly materially.
Future legislation or changes in government programs may adversely impact the market for the Company’s products.
From time to time, the federal government and Congress have made proposals to change aspects of the delivery and financing of health care services. The Company cannot predict what form any future legislation or regulation may take or its impact on the Company’s business. Legislation that sets price limits and utilization controls adversely impact the rate of growth of the markets in which the Company participates. If any future health care legislation or regulations were to adversely impact those markets, the Company’s product marketing could also suffer, which would adversely impact the Company’s business.
Information Security, cybersecurity and Data Privacy Risks
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations.
The Company is subject to cyber security risks and may incur increasing costs in efforts to minimize those risks and to comply with regulatory standards. The Company employs information technology systems and Internet systems, including websites, which allow for the secure storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding the Company’s customers, employees and others, including credit card information and personal identification information. The Company has made significant efforts to secure its computer network to mitigate the risk of possible cyber-attacks and is continuously working to upgrade its existing information technology systems and provide employee
awareness training around phishing, malware, and other cyber risks to ensure that the Company is protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. Despite these efforts security of the Company’s computer networks could be compromised which could impact operations and confidential information could be misappropriated, which could lead to negative publicity, loss of sales and profits or cause the Company to incur significant costs to reimburse third-parties for damages which could adversely impact profits.
Other
The Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard DePiano Jr. is the Company’s controlling stockholder and has sufficient voting power to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval.
In February 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Mr. DePiano Sr. and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano is the sole owner and sole trustee (the "Holders"). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt the Company owed the Holders under factoring agreements and notes (the "Notes") the Company entered into with the Holders in February and March of 2016 for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). Each share the Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders currently beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into common stock at the current conversion ratio, the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
The Holders, therefore, control the election of all of the members of the Company’s board of directors and control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders for approval, including mergers or other acquisition proposals and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in each case regardless of how all of the Company’s stockholders other than the Holders vote their shares. The interests of the Holders in maintaining this voting control of the Company may have an adverse effect on the price of the Company’s common stock because of the absence of any potential “takeover” premium and may, therefore, be inconsistent with the interest of the Company’s stockholders other than the Holders. The voting control by the Holders could also discourage a third party from attempting to acquire control of the Company and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company. Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.
The market price of the Company’s stock has historically been volatile, and the Company has not paid cash dividends.
The volatility of the Company’s common stock imposes a greater risk of capital losses on stockholders as compared to less volatile stocks. In addition, such volatility makes it difficult to ascribe a stable valuation to a stockholder’s holdings of the Company’s common stock. The following factors have and may continue to have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s common stock:
•Acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures that the Company effects, if any;
•Announcements of technological innovations;
•Changes in marketing, product pricing and sales strategies or new products by the Company’s competitors;
•Changes in domestic or foreign governmental regulations or regulatory requirements; and
•Developments or disputes relating to patent or proprietary rights and public concern as to the safety and efficacy of the procedures for which the Company’s products are used.
Moreover, the possibility exists that the stock market could experience extreme price and volume fluctuations unrelated to operating performance.
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
If the Company raises funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices and other terms that may not be favorable. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that may never materialize or that may be proven incorrect. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in the sections titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in other parts of this Annual Report.
The Company operates its business as one operating and reportable segment. For additional information, see “Note 14-Segment Information” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Financial Highlights
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the discussion under “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
•Consolidated net revenue increased approximately $64,000 or 0.5%, to $12,046,000 during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in net revenue is mainly attributed to an increase of approximately $114,000 in sales of Trek products, offset by a decrease of $33,000 in sales of Sonomed products and a decrease of $17,000 in AXIS revenue during the year ended June 30, 2025.
•Consolidated cost of revenue totaled approximately $6,535,000, or 54.3%, of total revenue during the year ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $6,835,000, or 57.0%, of total revenue of the prior fiscal year. The decrease of 2.7% in cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue is mainly due to change in product mix.
•Consolidated marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $63,000, or 1.4%, to $4,625,000 during the year ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses is mainly due to an increase in AXIS consulting expenses, Sonomed payroll and commission expenses offset by a decrease in network expenses and corporate payroll expenses during the year ended June 30, 2025.
•Consolidated research and development expenses increased $65,000 or 9.4%, to $753,000 during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses were
primarily expenses associated with the introduction of new or enhanced products. The increase in research and development expense is mainly due to increased AXIS consulting expenses during the year ended June 30, 2025.

Recently Announced Tariffs and Trade Measures
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the U.S. government announced new tariffs on a broad range of imports, including a 10% tariff on most imports and additional individualized higher tariffs on certain specific goods and countries. In response, certain affected countries have imposed or may impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports and may implement additional trade restrictions and/or other retaliatory measures in the future.
These recent and potential future tariffs and trade measures could adversely affect the Company’s business in several ways. Increased costs of imported raw materials, components, and finished goods may negatively impact profitability and gross margins. The Company may face challenges in passing these increased costs on to its customers due to competitive pressures or market conditions. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the duration and extent of these tariffs, as well as potential trade policy changes, could disrupt the Company’s supply chain, require alternative and potentially more expensive sourcing options, and impact long-term strategic planning and investment decisions. The imposition of retaliatory tariffs by other countries could also reduce the demand for the Company’s exported products, negatively impacting revenue and international sales.
Management is actively monitoring these developments, assessing the potential impacts on the Company’s business, and evaluating possible mitigation strategies, including exploring alternative sourcing, adjusting pricing strategies where feasible, and analyzing potential shifts in global supply chains. However, the ultimate financial impact of these tariffs and the associated uncertainty cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. This situation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company will continue to evaluate these developments and provide updates in future filings as the situation evolves and more information becomes available.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash as of June 30, 2025 consisted approximately $546,000 of cash on hand and restricted cash of approximately $256,000 compared to approximately $209,000 of cash on hand and restricted cash of $257,000 as of June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $290,000 and $181,000, respectively.
Because our operations have not historically generated sufficient revenues to achieve profitability we will continue to closely monitor costs and expenses and may need to raise additional capital to fund operations.
We expect to continue to fund operations from cash on hand and through capital raising sources if possible and available, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders, through revenues from the licensing of our products, or through strategic alliances. Additionally, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities through one or more discrete transactions, or enter into a strategic alliance arrangement, but can provide no assurances that any such financing or strategic alliance arrangement will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Moreover, the incurrence of indebtedness in connection with a debt financing would result in increased fixed obligations and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations.
As of June 30, 2025 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.4 million, historically incurred recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company generated net income from operations in the current year and fiscal 2023, and reported positive cash flows from operating activities in the current year as well as in fiscal 2021 and 2023. While the overall trend has been toward profitability, The Company had net profit for just two years of the last five years, and currently the Company has adverse ratios of cash to current liabilities and days payable outstanding. Additionally, there is uncertainty in the market related to the tariffs and the related impacts to the international business and supply chain cost impacts. The question remains whether the Company will keep the profitability trend and sales growth. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, and our ability to generate cash to meet our cash requirements for the following twelve months as of the filing date of this form 10-K.
The following table presents overall liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2025 and 2024. Table amounts are in thousands:
June 30, June 30,
2025 2024
Current Ratio:
Current assets $4,612 $4,397
Less: Current liabilities 2,685 2,669
Working capital $1,927 $1,728
Current ratio 1.72 to 1 1.65 to 1
Debt to Total Capital Ratio:
Note payable, lease liabilities, and EIDL loan $523 $525
Total equity 1,915 1,810
Total capital $2,439 $2,335
Total debt to total capital 21.5% 22.5%
Working Capital Position
Working capital increased approximately $199,000 to $1,927,000 as of June 30, 2025, and the current ratio increased to 1.72 to 1 to from 1.65 to 1 when compared to June 30, 2024.
The increase in working capital is primarily attributed to a $215,000 increase in current assets as of June 30, 2025 mainly due to rise in current assets, driven by net operating income and higher inventory levels, as well as an increase in accrued expenses, partially offset by lease liability payments..
Debt to total capital ratio was 21.5% and 22.5% as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Cash Flow Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities
During year ended June 30, 2025 the Company provided approximately $381,000 of cash in operating activities as compared to approximately $603,000 of cash used in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2024.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, its cash provided by operations is mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $628,000, an increase in deferred revenue of $48,000, an increase in accrued expenses of $45,000, an increase in lease liability of $227,000, an increase in accounts payable of $30,000, and a decrease in other current assets of $30,000. The cash inflow is offset by an increase in inventories of 486,000. The remaining offsetting items for cash used in operations is comprised of less significant items.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, its cash used in operations is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable of 454,000, a decrease in lease liability of 328,000, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $146,000. The cash outflow is offset by an increase in accounts payable of $152,000 and a decrease in other current assets of 56,000. The remaining offsetting items for cash used in operations is comprised of less significant items.
Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 was due to purchase of the fixed assets of $4,000. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2024 was due to purchase of the fixed assets of $40,000.
Any necessary capital expenditures have generally been funded out of cash from operations, and the Company is not aware of any factors that would cause historical capital expenditure levels to not be indicative of capital expenditures in the future and, accordingly, does not believe that the Company will have to commit material resources to capital investment for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
For the year ended June 30, 2025 the cash used in the financing activities of $40,000 was attributed to repayment of notes payable of $37,000, and repayment of EIDL loan of $3,000.
For the year ended June 30, 2024 the cash used in the financing activities of $37,000 was attributed to repayment of notes payable of $33,000, and repayment of EIDL loan of $4,000.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact amounts reported therein. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and, as such, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates ("ASUs"). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending June 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 expands disclosure requirements to require disaggregation of specified expense captions by natural expense categories. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating its impact on our footnote disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-5, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue-transactions under ASC 606. Key changes include a practical expedient, available to all entities, that allows assuming that conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the life of those assets, and for entities other than public business entities, an accounting policy election to consider subsequent cash collections after the balance sheet date in estimating those losses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted; the guidance should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Escalon Medical Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has historically incurred recurring losses from operations and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities, and currently the Company has adverse ratios of cash to current liabilities and days payable outstanding. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Retrospective Application of a Change in Accounting Principle
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2024 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the change in accounting due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), as described in Note 14. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2024 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Escalon Medical Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited, before the adjustments to retrospectively apply the changes in the accounting described in Note 3, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Escalon Medical Corp. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements, before the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting described in Note 3, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America .
We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in the accounting described in Note 3 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by other auditors.
Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit.

Escalon Medical Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
Escalon Medical Corp. ("Escalon" or "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation initially incorporated in California in 1987, and reincorporated in Pennsylvania in November 2001. Within this document, the Company collectively shall mean Escalon, which includes its division called "Trek" and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed, Inc. (“Sonomed”), Escalon Digital Solutions, Inc. (“EMI”), and Sonomed IP Holdings, Inc.
The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The FDA and other government authorities require extensive testing of new products prior to sale and have jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing.
The Company’s common stock trades on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “ESMC.”
2. Going Concern
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuous enhancement of the current products, development of new products; changes in domestic and foreign regulations; ability to manufacture successfully; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, the Company’s products and its ability to raise capital to support its operations.
To date, the Company’s operations have not generated sufficient revenues to enable consistent profitability. Through June 30, 2025, while the Company had net income and positive cash flow from operations, however, it has historically incurred recurring losses from operations and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities, and currently the Company has adverse ratios of cash to current liabilities and days payable outstanding. Additionally, there is uncertainty in the market related to tariffs and the related impacts to the international business and supply chain cost impacts. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the following twelve months as of the filing date of this form 10-K.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its future profitability and on the ongoing support of its shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company is actively pursuing business partnerships, managing its continuing operations, and implementing cost-cutting measures. The Company may not be successful in any of these efforts.
3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company has one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Cash
For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. From time to time cash balances exceed federal insurance limits. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Organization’s balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $290,000 and $181,000, respectively.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 restricted cash included approximately $257,000 and $256,000, which was pursuant to the requirements in the TD Bank Loan entered into June 2018 (see Note 6).
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers financial conditions and does not require collateral for accounts receivable arising in the normal course of business. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses based on the Company’s historical trends, specific customer issues and current economic trends. Accounts are written off against the allowance when they are determined to be uncollectible based on management’s assessment of individual accounts. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue. The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $164,499 and $171,104 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The opening balance of accounts receivable for the year ended June 30, 202 was $1,807,599. The movement within the accounts receivable balance was due to new orders and collections during the period.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 , is as follows
For the Years ended June 30,
2025 2024
Balance, July 1 $ 171,104 $ 153,878
Provision - 37,546
Recovery (6,605) -
Write-offs - (20,320)
Balance, June 30 $ 164,499 $ 171,104
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and include freight-in materials, labor and overhead costs. Inventories are written down if the estimated net realizable value is less than the recorded value. The Company reviews the carrying cost of inventories by product to determine the adequacy of reserves for obsolescence. In accounting for inventories, the Company must make estimates regarding the estimated realizable value of inventory. The estimate is based, in part, on age of inventory. If actual conditions are less favorable than those the Company has projected, the Company may need to increase its reserves for excess and obsolete inventories. Any increases in the reserves will adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. The establishment of a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory establishes a new cost basis in the inventory. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold. If the Company is able to sell such inventory any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale. In accordance with industry practice, service parts inventory is included in current assets, although service parts are carried for established requirements during the serviceable lives of the products and, therefore, not all parts are expected to be sold within one year.

Finished goods 925,162 558,260
Total inventories $ 2,142,263 $ 1,613,118
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term. Depreciation on property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are generally three years to five years for computer equipment and software, five years to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years to ten years for production and test equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $35,000 and $25,000, respectively.
Property and equipment consist of the following:

2025 2024
Equipment $ 821,950 $ 827,317
Furniture and fixtures 128,499 128,499

989,497 994,864
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (954,908) (945,986)
$ 34,589 $ 48,878
Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets including intangible assets deemed to have finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit or material adverse changes in the business climate that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverability of the asset is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset the asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. At June 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company performed a qualitative assessment and considered the totality of events and circumstances, including the existence of substantial doubt to continue as a going concern, and concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the related assets are below their carrying amount. Based on this assessment, no impairment charges were recorded for the periods presented.
Accrued Warranties
The Company provides a limited one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects on its products sold to customers. The Company’s standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace, at the Company’s discretion, defective parts during such warranty period. The Company accrues for its product warranty liabilities based on estimates of costs to be incurred during the warranty period, based on historical repair information for warranty costs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Company determined that the carrying amount of the notes payable and lease liabilities approximates fair value since such debt borrowing bears interest at the approximate current market rate. While the Company believes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities are reasonable, considerable judgment is used to develop estimates of fair value; thus the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a
current market exchange. .Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities, are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs that are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. At contract inception, the Company determines if the contract is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and then evaluates the contract using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.
The Company generates product revenue from the sale of medical device products and the sale and installation of the Company's AXIS image management system software. Revenue for service plans relate to the customer care plans for the Company’s equipment and AXIS image management system software.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised goods or services to the customer for an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are for product sales, installation of AXIS image management system software and customer care plans. The performance obligations are determined at contract inception based upon promises within the contract that are distinct.
The product sales and installation of AXIS image management system software performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, which is upon shipment for product sales and upon successful installation for the AXIS image management system. The performance obligation for customer care plans is satisfied over time as the customer receives and consumes the Company’s services.
The Company invoices its customers upon shipment for product sales. For the installation of AXIS image management system software and customer care plans, the Company invoices its customers upon successful installation. Invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date. The transaction price is determined based on fixed consideration in the Company’s customer contracts and is recorded net of variable consideration. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company invoices its customers to when payment is received as it is less than one year.
Revenue for product sales and installation of AXIS image management system software is recognized when delivered or installed. The customer care plan revenues are recognized proportionately over the service period, which is a 12-month period.
The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC 606:
•Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - all performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.
•Contract Costs - all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred as the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less in duration.
•Significant Financing Component - the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
•Sales Tax Exclusion from the Transaction Price - the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction
price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer.
•Shipping and Handling Activities - the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
•Portfolio Approach - the Company applied the Portfolio Approach to contract reviews within its identified revenue streams that have similar characteristics and the Company believes this approach would not differ materially than if applying Topic 606 to each individual contract.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance. The Company’s deferred revenues relate to payments received for the customer care plans for a 12-month period. The consideration received is recognized monthly over the service period.

Revenue recorded that was included within prior period deferred revenue was $238,000 and $289,000, respectively for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The movement within the deferred revenue balance was due to new orders and the subsequent revenue recognition.
Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs
Shipping and handling revenues are included in product revenue and the related costs are included in cost of revenue.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
(Earnings) Losses Per Share
The Company used the two-class method to compute net income per common share. These participating securities included the Company’s convertible preferred stock which accrues dividends payable. The two-class method requires earnings for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive distributed and undistributed earnings.
Under the two-class method, for periods with net income, basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders is computed by subtracting from net income the portion of current period earnings that the participating securities would have been entitled to receive pursuant to their dividend rights had all of the period’s earnings been distributed. No such adjustment to earnings is made during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the participating securities have no obligation to fund losses.
Diluted net income per common share is computed under the two-class method by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the potential dilutive effects of stock options. The Company analyzed the potential dilutive effect of any outstanding dilutive securities under the “if-converted” method and treasury-stock method when calculating diluted earnings per share, in which it is assumed that the outstanding participating securities convert into common stock at the beginning of the period or date of issuance, if later. The Company reports the more dilutive of the approaches (two-class or “if-converted”) as its diluted net income per share during the period. Basic earning per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the average market prices for the years then ended are less than the exercise price of all the outstanding stock options and, therefore, the inclusion of the stock options would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The estimated annual effective tax rate is updated quarterly based on changes in the forecast of full-year income and tax expense. For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were zero.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. We will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until
there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a corresponding income tax benefit in the period the release is recorded. The amount of the valuation allowance release will be determined based on the available sources of future taxable income as of the period in which the release is recorded. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, no accrued interest or penalties were required to be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion, respectively on the consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company's annual period ending June 30, 2025 and interim periods beginning after July 1, 2025. The Company adopted this ASU for the annual report for the year ended June 30, 2025. As a result, the Company has updated its segment disclosures in “Note 14- Segment Information,” providing more detailed information on significant expenses and other relevant segment items in accordance with the new guidance.
The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not result in any changes to the Company’s reportable segments but did enhance the disclosures within our financial statements, increasing transparency for annual and interim reporting periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending June 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 expands disclosure requirements to require disaggregation of specified expense captions by natural expense categories. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating its impact on our footnote disclosures.
In July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-5, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue-transactions under ASC 606. Key changes include a practical expedient, available to all entities, that allows assuming that conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the life of those assets, and for entities other than public business entities, an accounting policy election to consider subsequent cash collections after the balance sheet date in estimating those losses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted; the guidance should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

On June 29, 2018 the Company entered a business loan agreement with TD bank receiving a line of credit evidenced by a promissory note of $250,000. The interest is subject to change based on changes in an independent index which the Wall Street Journal Prime. The index rate at the date of the agreement is 5.000% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note is calculated using a rate of 0.740 percentage points over the index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations, resulting in an initial rate of 5.740% per annum based on a year of 360 days. The Company was required to put $250,000 in the TD bank savings account as collateral. Mr. Richard J. DePiano Sr. executed a guarantee of the loan in favor of TD Bank. Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019, therefore the guarantee is now assumed by his estate.
TD bank elected to exercise the term note conversion option to convert the loan balance of $201,575 to a five-year term note effective March 29, 2023 ("the Conversion Date"). The scheduled monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $4,247 began on April 29, 2023. Commencing on the Conversion Date, the aggregate principal balance outstanding bears interest at a fixed per annum rate of 9.49% pursuant to the loan's terms and conditions.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a valuation allowance of $7,073,376, which primarily relates to the federal net operating loss carryforwards. During the year ended June 30, 2025, the valuation allowance decreased by $534,387 and during the year
ended June 30, 2024, the valuation increased by $53,359. The valuation allowance is a result of management evaluating its estimates of the net operating losses available to the Company as they relate to the results of operations of acquired businesses subsequent to their being acquired by the Company. The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of the valuation allowance, including the Company’s earnings history, the number of years the Company’s operating loss can be carried forward, the existence of taxable temporary differences, and near-term earnings expectations. Future reversal of the valuation allowance will be recognized either when the benefit is realized or when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized through future earnings. The Company has available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $29,513,000 and $4,241,000, respectively, of which $23,332,000 and $2,348,000, respectively, will expire over the next ten years, $3,953,000 and $1,361,000, respectively, will expire in years eleven through twenty, and $2,229,000 and $533,000, respectively, which will not expire. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards which may be able to be utilized against taxable income. However, the extent of the ability to utilize the NOLs could be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has not completed a 382 study to date.
The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets based on changes in circumstances, for example, recurring periods of income for tax purposes following historical periods of cumulative losses or changes in tax laws or regulations. The Company’s income tax provision and management’s assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets involve judgments and estimates. If taxable income expectations change, in the near term the Company may be required to reduce the valuation allowance which would result in a material benefit to the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the benefit is determined by the Company.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and subsequent years remain open to tax examination. However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss amount. At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions. The Company has provided what it believes to be an appropriate amount of tax for items that involve interpretation to the tax law. However, events may occur in the future that will cause the Company to reevaluate the current provision and may result in an adjustment to the liability for taxes. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements and will recognize the income tax effects in the consolidated financial statements beginning in the period in which the OBBBA was signed into law.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company, from time to time is involved in various legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the normal course of business. These matters have included intellectual property disputes, contract disputes, employment disputes and other matters. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters has had or is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
11. Related Party Transactions and Preferred Stock
On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano Sr., the Company's former Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano Sr. is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related party interest accrual of $112,389 related to the debt prior to the exchange, remained as an on demanded payable.
Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2025 beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject to standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 the cumulative dividends payable is $380,531 ($0.1903 per share) and $329,003 ($0.1645 per share), respectively.
Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the listed shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.
12. Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit Risk
Financial Instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States and international. The Company routinely address the financial strength of its customer and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.

14. Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance.
The Company’s CODM is consisted of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segment, as well as how the Company derives revenue, are consistent with those described in "Note 3-Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within these financial statements.
The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss), consistent with GAAP to assess performance, evaluate cost optimization, and allocate resources, including personnel-related and financial or capital resources, in the annual budget and forecasting process, as well as budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating and reportable segment.
As the Company has only one reportable segment, all revenues, expenses, and operating results are attributable to that segment. Total assets attributable to the Company’s sole reportable segment were $4,993,059 and $4,757,925
The following tables set forth significant expense categories and other specified amounts included in consolidated net income that are otherwise regularly provided to the CODM for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This evaluation was conducted using the framework in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013. We identified a material weakness in internal control related to the proper design and implementation of controls over our estimates relating to the valuation of inventory specifically over the precision of management’s review during the year ended June 30, 2023. Based on our evaluation and as a result of the material weakness identified, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2023. Although additional controls were implemented in the fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and during fiscal year 2025, these remedies did not cover the entire fiscal year. Therefore, management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting remained ineffective as of June 30, 2025.
Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weakness
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above. As such, controls will be added to both increase the precision of the review of all assumptions used in the valuation of inventory, as well as to conduct senior management reviews of any and all material estimates that are applied in these instances.
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is furnished with this Annual Report on Form 10-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only the Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company continues to improve its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2025 that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These include standardizing the process for updating standard costs, enhancing data quality control through enhanced segregation of duties in both the updating and review stages and improving the accuracy of data in an Excel spreadsheet with multiple links and formulas. These changes strengthen the accuracy and reliability of the inventory valuation process.

Ms. Napolitano has served as a Tax Manager at Global Tax Management, Inc., a provider of compliance support services for both federal and state taxes, since 1998. Ms. Napolitano is a Certified Public Accountant in Pennsylvania. Ms. Napolitano qualifies for our board of directors and audit committee based on her extensive experience in public accounting and through her understanding of internal controls, accounting principles, business operations and regulatory compliance. We believe that Ms. Napolotano’s financial, operational and regulatory experience qualifies her to serve as a member of our board of directors and our audit committee.
Mr. Trusk was appointed as a member of our Board in 2015 as a Class I director. He is President of BroadBase Solutions, Inc., an information technology staffing and consulting firm since 2000.

Braun Medical from 1994 to 1997 and Calgon Vestal Labs, a subsidiary of Merck & Co.; Inc. from 1991 to 1994. We believe Mr. Trusk’s operational, executive and professional experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board and our Audit Committee.

He holds a BA from the College of the Holy Cross and an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management. We believe Mr. Jacovini's operational, executive and professional experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board and our Audit Committee.

He has concentrated his practice on litigating Pennsylvania workers’ compensation cases since 1992.

He holds a BS from the Susquehanna University and JD from the Widener University School of Law. We believe Mr. Dogum's operational, executive and professional experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board.
Section 16 (a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, we believe that our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16 (a) filing requirements applicable to them for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our directors, the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions, officers and employees. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics is posted in the “Corporate Governance” section of our Internet web site at www.escalonmed.com. Any amendments to, or grant of waiver with respect to, any provision of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, will be disclosed noting the nature of such amendment or waiver in the “Corporate Governance” section of our Internet web site at www.escalonmed.com or by other appropriate means as required or permitted under the applicable regulations of the SEC.
Audit Committee Members and Financial Expert
The members of the audit committee of our board of directors are Ms. Napolitano, Mr. Trusk, and David J. Jacovini. Our board of directors has determined that each audit member has the attributes, education and experience of, and therefore is, an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and that each member of our audit committee is “independent,” as such term is defined in the applicable regulations of the Securities.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview of Executive Employment Agreements and Equity-Based Awards
On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano Sr., the Company's former Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano Sr. is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2025 beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject to standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the cumulative dividends payable is $380,531 ($0.1903 per share) and $329,003 ($0.1645 per share), respectively.
Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the listed shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.

Compensation of Directors
The compensation committee of our board recommends director compensation to our board of directors based on factors it considers appropriate, market conditions and trends and the recommendations of management. In fiscal 2025, none of our non-employee directors received any compensation.
Accounting and Tax Considerations
On July 1, 2007, we adopted in the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share based payments. Under this accounting standard, we are required to value stock options granted in fiscal year 2007 and in subsequent fiscal years under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the vesting period of the stock option. We were also required to value unvested stock options granted prior to our adoption of the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share based payments under the fair value method and amortize such expense in the income statement over the stock option’s remaining vesting period. A material portion of such amortizing expense relates to option grants made to our executive officers.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related Person Transactions
We recognize that related person transactions present a heightened risk of conflicts of interest and can create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Therefore, all proposed related person transactions are disclosed to our board of directors before we enter into the transaction, and, if the transaction continues for more than one year, the continuation is reviewed annually by our board of directors.
On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano Sr., the Company's former Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano Sr. is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2025 beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject to standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 the cumulative dividends payable is $380,531 ($0.1903 per share) and $329,003 ($0.1645 per share), respectively.
Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the listed shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
•Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
•Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This evaluation was conducted using the framework in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013. We identified a material weakness in internal control related to the proper design and implementation of controls over our estimates relating to the valuation of inventory specifically over the precision of management’s review during the year ended June 30, 2023. Based on our evaluation and as a result of the material weakness identified, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2023. Although additional controls were implemented in the fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and during fiscal year 2025, these remedies did not cover the entire fiscal year. Therefore, management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting remained ineffective as of June 30, 2025.
Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weakness
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above. As such, controls will be added to both increase the precision of the review of all assumptions used in the valuation of inventory, as well as to conduct senior management reviews of any and all material estimates that are applied in these instances.
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is furnished with this Annual Report on Form 10-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only the Company’s management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company continues to improve its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2025 that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These include standardizing the process for updating standard costs, enhancing data quality control through enhanced segregation of duties in both the updating and review stages and improving the accuracy of data in an Excel spreadsheet with multiple links and formulas. These changes strengthen the accuracy and reliability of the inventory valuation process.

Ms. Napolitano has served as a Tax Manager at Global Tax Management, Inc., a provider of compliance support services for both federal and state taxes, since 1998. Ms. Napolitano is a Certified Public Accountant in Pennsylvania. Ms. Napolitano qualifies for our board of directors and audit committee based on her extensive experience in public accounting and through her understanding of internal controls, accounting principles, business operations and regulatory compliance. We believe that Ms. Napolotano’s financial, operational and regulatory experience qualifies her to serve as a member of our board of directors and our audit committee.
Mr. Trusk was appointed as a member of our Board in 2015 as a Class I director. He is President of BroadBase Solutions, Inc., an information technology staffing and consulting firm since 2000.

Braun Medical from 1994 to 1997 and Calgon Vestal Labs, a subsidiary of Merck & Co.; Inc. from 1991 to 1994. We believe Mr. Trusk’s operational, executive and professional experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board and our Audit Committee.

He holds a BS from the Susquehanna University and JD from the Widener University School of Law. We believe Mr. Dogum's operational, executive and professional experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board.
Section 16 (a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, we believe that our directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16 (a) filing requirements applicable to them for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our directors, the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions, officers and employees. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics is posted in the “Corporate Governance” section of our Internet web site at www.escalonmed.com. Any amendments to, or grant of waiver with respect to, any provision of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, will be disclosed noting the nature of such amendment or waiver in the “Corporate Governance” section of our Internet web site at www.escalonmed.com or by other appropriate means as required or permitted under the applicable regulations of the SEC.
Audit Committee Members and Financial Expert
The members of the audit committee of our board of directors are Ms. Napolitano, Mr. Trusk, and David J. Jacovini.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview of Executive Employment Agreements and Equity-Based Awards
On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano Sr., the Company's former Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano Sr. is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2025 beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject to standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the cumulative dividends payable is $380,531 ($0.1903 per share) and $329,003 ($0.1645 per share), respectively.
Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the listed shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.

Compensation of Directors
The compensation committee of our board recommends director compensation to our board of directors based on factors it considers appropriate, market conditions and trends and the recommendations of management. In fiscal 2025, none of our non-employee directors received any compensation.
Accounting and Tax Considerations
On July 1, 2007, we adopted in the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share based payments. Under this accounting standard, we are required to value stock options granted in fiscal year 2007 and in subsequent fiscal years under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the vesting period of the stock option. We were also required to value unvested stock options granted prior to our adoption of the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share based payments under the fair value method and amortize such expense in the income statement over the stock option’s remaining vesting period. A material portion of such amortizing expense relates to option grants made to our executive officers.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related Person Transactions
We recognize that related person transactions present a heightened risk of conflicts of interest and can create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Therefore, all proposed related person transactions are disclosed to our board of directors before we enter into the transaction, and, if the transaction continues for more than one year, the continuation is reviewed annually by our board of directors.
On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano Sr., the Company's former Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano Sr. is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2025 beneficially own approximately 77.81% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject to standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.70% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.
Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 the cumulative dividends payable is $380,531 ($0.1903 per share) and $329,003 ($0.1645 per share), respectively.
Mr. DePiano Sr. passed away on October 3, 2019 and left a will by which he appointed Richard J. DePiano, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as executor. Richard DePiano Jr. was elected to serve as chairman of the Company's board. Mr. DePiano, Jr. qualified as executor and has control over the listed shares in his capacity as executor of Mr. DePiano Sr.'s estate.
