Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Encision, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Encision, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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
audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Inventory Valuation -
Finished Goods
The Company’s inventories consist of finished
goods and raw materials, which are manufactured or purchased for use in the Company’s finished goods. The Company offers several
different products to its customers. The cost of the internally produced inventory is a combination of raw materials, labor to convert
those materials to components of the inventory to finished goods, and an allocation of overhead and related costs. Significant judgment
is exercised by the Company in determining the components of the costs of inventory and includes the determination of which costs to include
at each manufacturing phase, including overhead allocation and materials used for production of finished goods, and monitoring the appropriate
absorption of the overhead cost and correcting the hourly rate when necessary
How the Critical Audit
Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures
related to the Company's inventory included the following:
- We evaluated management’s significant accounting
policies related to inventory for reasonableness
- We selected a sample of finished goods and raw
materials and performed detailed testing over the items selected, including but not limited to the following:
o Agreed the bill of materials source documents
for each selection, including raw materials value, labor, and overhead allocations, and any other items relevant to price verification.
o Agreed a selection of raw materials to the source
documents, invoices, and any other items relevant to price verification
o
Tested managements identification and application of the overhead calculation
and labor cost

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description
of Business and Basis of Presentation
Encision Inc. is a medical device company that
designs, develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments that provide greater safety to patients undergoing minimally-invasive
surgery. We believe that our patented AEM ® surgical instrument technology is changing the marketplace for electrosurgical
devices and instruments by providing a solution to a well-documented risk in laparoscopic surgery. Our sales to date have been made primarily
in the United States. Sales included $ 424,732 from Australia and $ 62,140 from New Zealand.
We have an accumulated deficit of $ 22,765,245
at March 31, 2025. Operating funds have been provided primarily by issuances of our common stock and warrants, the exercise of stock options
to purchase our common stock, loans, and by operating profits. Our liquidity has diminished because of prior years’ operating losses,
and we may be required to seek additional capital in the future.
Our strategic marketing and sales plan is designed
to expand the use of our products in surgically active hospitals in the United States.
In February 2024, we signed a Proof-of-Concept Services
Agreement with Vicarious Surgical Inc. (“Vicarious”). The Vicarious robot design intends to maximize visualization, precision,
and control of instruments in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
We had net loss available to shareholders of $ 220,198
and $ 691,783
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, we had $ 257,433
in cash available to fund future operations. We increased our pricing on products to mitigate our higher material costs. We have a line
of credit for up to $ 1 million, restricted by eligible
receivables. Management concludes that it is probable that our cash resources and line of credit will be sufficient to meet our cash
requirements for twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
Certain
prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In presenting the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet at March 31, 2024, the Company presented $ 156,685 EIDL note payable as a line of credit. In presenting the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2025, the Company has reclassified the balance of $ 5,000 as part of Secured notes ,a current liability,
and the balance of $ 151,685 is presented as a part of Long-term liability in the accompanying March 31, 2025 financial statements.
2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial
Statements . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes
of reporting cash flows, we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments . Our
financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, payables, line of credit, Economic Injury Disaster
Loan (“EIDL”) loan and secured notes. The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables, payables, line of
credit approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The fair values of the EIDL Loan approximates the carrying value based
on estimated discounted future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made, which is considered a Level 2
as described below.
The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes
a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value
on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based
measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a
basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three- tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
27
Level 1: Observable inputs such as
quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted
prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which
there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities are classified based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Concentration of Credit Risk . Financial
instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
The carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value. The amount of cash on deposit with financial institutions occasionally
exceeds the $ 250,000 federally insured limit at March 31, 2025. However, we believe that cash on deposit that exceeds $ 250,000 in the
financial institutions is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
We have no off-balance sheet concentrations of
credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. We maintain the majority of our
cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits.
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are
derived from transactions with and from entities in the healthcare industry primarily located in the United States. Accordingly, we may
be exposed to credit risk generally associated with the healthcare industry. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We charge interest
on past due accounts on a case-by-case basis. The accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2025 of $ 786,471
included no more than 9% from any one customer. The accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2024 of
$ 891,129 included
no more than 11% from any one customer.
Warranty Accrual . We
provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time sales are recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs
and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is based upon
historical experience and is also affected by product failure rates and material usage incurred in
correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates or material usage costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the
estimated warranty liability would be required. There was no warranty accrual at March 31, 2025.
Inventories . Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand
and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs
may be required.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, inventory consisted
of the following:

For the fiscal year 2025, Encision added $ 82,606
in additional inventory reserve and wrote off $ 77,687 in inventory. In the fiscal year 2024, Encision added $ 153,511 in additional inventory
reserve and wrote off $ 141,511 in inventory. Total Raw Materials reserve for fiscal year 2025 is $ 47,973 , and $ 47,948 for fiscal year 2024. Finished
goods reserve for fiscal year 2025 is $ 19,947 and $ 9,052 in fiscal year 2024.
28
Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities .
We determine if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement and the right-of-use asset and lease liability is determined
at the lease commencement date and is based on the present value of estimated lease payments. Our lease agreements contain both fixed
and variable lease payments, none of which are based on a rate or an index. Fixed lease payments are included in the determination of
the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not based on a rate or index are expensed when incurred.
The present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing the rate implicit in the lease agreement if that rate can be determined.
If the implicit rate cannot be determined, the present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing our incremental borrowing
rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined at the lease commencement date and is estimated utilizing similar or collateralized
borrowing instruments adjusted for the terms of leasing arrangement as necessary. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual
value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The lease agreement is for our building. The original lease is from June 3, 2004 and
was amended in August 2023 to extend the term until October 31, 2026. The balances as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, for the Right of Use
Asset were $ 568,395 and $ 900,787 , respectively. The balances as of March 2025 and 2024 for Lease Liabilities were $ 696,610 and $ 1,066,987 ,
respectively.
Property and Equipment . Property and equipment
are stated at cost, with depreciation computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to seven years. We use the
straight-line method of depreciation for property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining
lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major additions, replacements
and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 63,663 and $ 61,322 , respectively.
Property and equipment additions for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $ 54,415 and $ 12,050 , respectively. Property and equipment
is comprised principally of equipment and is depreciated over seven years.
Long-Lived Assets . Long-lived assets are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
A long-lived asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows related to the asset, undiscounted and without interest, are
insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset. If deemed impaired, the long-lived asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.
Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
Patents . The costs of applying for patents
are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life (20 years from the
date of application in the United States). Capitalized costs are expensed if patents are not issued. We review the carrying value of our
patents periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value and such reviews could result in the conclusion that the recorded
amounts have been impaired. A summary of our patents at March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Income Taxes . We account for income taxes
under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires recognition
of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires recognition of deferred tax
assets for the expected future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, more likely than
not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. Should we achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, we
may conclude that some or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed (Note 5).
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for
how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely
than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be
measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the
tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing
authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit the Company’s tax returns from fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 through
the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statements of
operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded. The Company has provided a full valuation
allowance on all of its deferred tax assets.
Revenue Recognition . We record revenue
at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply
our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure. Our shipping policy is FOB Shipping
Point. We recognize revenue from sales to stocking distributors when there is no right of return, other than for normal warranty claims.
We have no ongoing obligations related to product sales, except for normal warranty obligations. As presented on the Statement of Operations
our revenue is disaggregated between product revenue and service revenue. As it relates specifically to product revenue, we do not believe
further disaggregation is necessary as substantially all our product revenue comes from multiple products within a line of medical devices.
Our engineering service contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.
We determine revenue recognition through the
following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
(3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract (where
revenue is allocated on a relative standalone selling price basis by maximizing the use of observable inputs to determine the standalone
selling price for each performance obligation); and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation
Topic 606 requires the disaggregation of revenue
into broad categories, which we have defined as shown below.

Sales Taxes . We collect sales tax from
customers and remit the entire amount to each respective state. We recognize revenue from product sales net of sales taxes.
Research and Development Expenses . We
expense research and development costs for products and processes as incurred.
Advertising Costs . We expense advertising
costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was minimal.
Stock-Based Compensation . Stock-based
compensation is presented in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC
718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, companies are required to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date
of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense
over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations.
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair
value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is
ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the accompanying statements of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during
the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in our statements of operations for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 included compensation expense for share-based
payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2025, based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense for
all share-based payment is recognized using the straight-line, single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in
the accompanying statements of operations for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced
for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
We used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
(“Black-Scholes model”) to determine fair value. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date
of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and
subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards,
and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in
accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing
seller market transaction.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized under
ASC 718 for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was $ 46,001 and $ 53,552 , respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related
to director and employee stock options.
Stock-based compensation expense related to director
and employee stock options under ASC 718 for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was allocated as follows:

Segment
Reporting . Effective with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the amended guidance did not change the Company’s conclusion that it
operates two reportable segment, nor did it affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows. The standard, however, expands required disclosures related to significant segment expense categories and interim-period information.
The Company has incorporated the required disclosures for the year ended March 31, 2025, as presented below.
Operating segments
are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. In consideration
of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has concluded it operates two business segments, product and service. The Product segment designs,
develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments. The Service segment performs engineering activities for external entities.
31
Additionally, our CODM (President and Chief
Executive Officer) uses consolidated net income or loss, as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as the
profitability measure in making decisions to evaluate our performance, which is the same basis on which he communicates our results
and performance to our Board of Directors. The CODM bases all significant decisions regarding the allocation of our resources on a
consolidated basis. At March 31, 2025, Net long-lived assets totaled $ 416,647 in the United States.

Basic and Diluted Income per Common Share .
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" ("ASC 260"). Under the provisions
of ASC 260, basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted
average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive.
Because we had a loss in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the shares used in the calculation of dilutive potential common shares exclude options
to purchase shares.
The following table presents the calculation
of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to
include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures
regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported
measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit
or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. See Note 2 for changes to
our reportable segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate
reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and
are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact
of this update on our financial statements, but do not expect any changes to our current reportable segments.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income
statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either
prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements
and disclosures.
The Company does not believe that issued, but
not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
3. Shareholders’ Equity
Stock Option Plans. We adopted our 2014
Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan,” as summarized below) to promote our and our shareholders’ interests by helping us
to attract, retain and motivate our key employees and associates. Under the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive
and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other stock-based
awards. The purchase price of the shares subject to a stock option will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the stock
option is granted. Generally, vesting of stock options occurs such that 20% becomes exercisable on each anniversary of the date of grant
for each of the five years following the grant date of such option. Generally, all stock options must be exercised within five years from
the date granted. The number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is 1,100,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment
for dividend, stock split or other relevant changes in our capitalization.
Under ASC 718, the value of each employee stock
option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model for the purpose of financial information in accordance with ASC
718. The use of a Black-Scholes model requires the use of actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions
including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Employee stock options for 450,000 and 120,000 shares of
stock were granted during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
32
As of March 31, 2025, $ 172,841 of total unrecognized
compensation costs related to nonvested stock is expected to be recognized over a period of five years. During the year ended March 31,
2025, various fully vested five-year stock options to purchase 65,000 shares of common stock of us previously granted to board members
and employees expired unexercised.
The assumptions for employee stock options are
summarized as follows:
Summary of assumptions for employee stock options
Year Ended
March 31, 2025
Dividend yield
0 %
Expected volatility
74 % to 88 %
Risk-free interest rate

Expected life (in years)
5.0
Stock price
$ 0.29 to $ 0.70
Exercise price
$ 0.30 to $ 0.48
Cumulative compensation cost recognized in net
income or loss with respect to options that are forfeited prior to vesting is adjusted as a reduction of compensation expense in the period
of forfeiture. The volatility of the stock is based on the historical volatility for the period that approximates the expected lives of
the options being valued. Fair value computations are highly sensitive to the volatility factor; the greater the volatility, the higher
the computed fair value of options granted.
The total fair value of options granted was computed
to be approximately $ 110,203 and $ 40,025 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For disclosure purposes, these
amounts are amortized ratably over the vesting periods of the options. Effects of stock-based compensation, net of the effect of forfeitures,
totaled $ 46,000 and $ 53,552 for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Black-Scholes model was developed for use
in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the use of assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of our employee stock options. A summary of our stock option activity and related information for equity compensation plans approved
by security holders for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

4. Commitments
and Contingencies
We have a noncancelable lease agreement for our
facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. The lease expires October 31, 2026.
On April 1, 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) ASC 842 “Leases” using the initial date of adoption method, whereby the adoption does not
impact any periods prior to April 1, 2019. ASC Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification
criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing
between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases’ guidance. We recorded an operating Right of Use (“ROU”)
asset of $ 1,555,150 , and an operating lease liability of $ 1,619,842 as of April 1, 2019. The difference between the initial operating
ROU asset and operating lease liability of $ 64,692 is accrued rent previously recorded under ASC 840. We elected to adopt the package
of practical expedients and, accordingly, did not reassess any previously expired or existing arrangements and related classifications
under ASC 840.
If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. We use our best judgement when determining the incremental borrowing
rate, which is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term to the lease payments.
Our operating lease includes the use of real
property. We have not identified any material finance leases as of March 31, 2025.
For the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
we had $ 384,184 and $ 357,503 , respectively, for lease expense.
The following is a maturity analysis of the annual

On November 2, 2022, we entered into a loan
and security agreement with Pathward, N.A. The loan is due on demand and has no financial covenants. Under the agreement, we were provided
with a line of credit that is not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is prime
rate plus 0.5%, with a floor of 6.75%, plus a monthly maintenance fee of 0.4%, based on the average monthly loan balance. Interest is
charged on a minimum loan balance of $300,000, a loan fee of 0.5% at closing and annually, and an exit fee of 3%, 2%, and 1% during years
one, two, and three, respectively.
On August 4, 2020, we received $ 150,000 in loan
funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program
administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated August
1, 2021 in the original principal amount of $ 150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the Note, interest accrues on the outstanding
principal at the rate of 3.75 % per annum. The term of the Note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default
under the Note.

We are subject to regulation by the United States
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA provides regulations governing the manufacture and sale of our products and
regularly inspects us and other manufacturers to determine our and their compliance with these regulations. As of March 31, 2024, we believe
we were in substantial compliance with all known regulations. FDA inspections are conducted periodically at the discretion of the FDA.
We were last inspected in October 2019.
Our obligation with respect to employee severance
benefits is minimized by the “at will” nature of the employee relationships. Our total obligation with respect to contingent
severance benefit obligations was none as of March 31, 2024 and 2023.

5. Income
Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740, which
requires the use of the liability method. ASC 740 provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary
differences. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates
applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax
assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
net operating losses and reversal of timing differences may offset taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance is provided
when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to our lack of earnings history,
the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $ 8.2
million of net operating loss carryovers for tax purposes. Additionally, we have approximately $ 239,000 of research and development tax
credits available to offset future federal income taxes. The net operating loss and credit carryovers begin to expire in the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2026. In fiscal years ended after March 31, 2025, net operating losses expire at various dates through March 31, 2046 .
The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions, which may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to be used in any given
year if certain events occur, including significant changes in ownership interests.
6. Major
Customers/Suppliers
We depend on sales that are generated from hospitals’
ongoing usage of AEM surgical instruments. In fiscal year 2024, we generated sales from over 400 hospitals that have changed to AEM products.
Three vendors accounted for approximately 54 % of our inventory purchases.
7. Defined
Contribution Employee Benefit Plan
We have adopted a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan,
which covers all full-time employees who have completed at least three months of full-time continuous service and are age eighteen or
older. Participants may defer up to 20% of their gross pay up to a maximum limit determined by law. Participants are immediately vested
in their contributions. We may make discretionary contributions based on corporate financial results for the fiscal year. To date, we
have not made contributions to the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Vesting in a contribution account (our contribution) is based on years
of service, with a participant fully vested after five years of credited service.
8. Related Party Transaction
The Company engaged Finance Vision Service, Inc., a company owned
by board member Robert Fries, for consulting services. The company paid $ 40,727 and $ 32,032 in fiscal years 2025 and 2024.
9. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated all of our activity and
concluded that, as of the date the financial statements were issued, no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition
in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting
and Financial Disclosure.
On October 17, 2023, we were notified that Gries &
Associates, LLC (“Gries”), our independent registered public accounting firm, had completed a sale of its customers to GreenGrowth
CPAs Inc. (“GreenGrowth CPAs”). As a result of this transaction, Gries resigned its engagement with us immediately.
On October 18, 2023, upon the approval of our Audit
Committee, we engaged GreenGrowth CPAs as our new independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024
and interim periods.
Gries’ reports on our financial statements for
the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. The report had been prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern and included an
explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as result of recurring losses and a deficiency in shareholders’
equity.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, and the subsequent
period through October 17, 2023, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions) between us and Gries on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or procedure, which, if not resolved to Gries’ satisfaction, would have caused Gries to make reference thereto in its reports on
the financial statements for such years; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K, except that Gries advised us of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.
