NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies included in the notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The notes to financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2024 financial statements in order to conform to the 2025 financial statement presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this Update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this Update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregationof Income Statement Expenses(ASU 2024-03). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2027 and for interim periods thereafter. The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative threshold to determine its reportable segments. The new disclosure requirements are also applicable to entities that account and report as a single operating segment entity. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the guidance for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2024. There was no impact on the Company’s reportable segments identified and additional required disclosures have been included in Note 15 - Segment Reporting.

Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. On June 17, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved the Nocopi Technologies, Inc. 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which allows the Company to issue equity awards to directors, officers, other employees and consultants of the Company. As of March 31, 2025, 5,000 unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are outstanding under the 2024 Plan. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, 149,805 shares have been issued in settlement of vested RSUs granted under the 2024 Plan. As of March 31, 2025, the unamortized value related to grants under the 2024 Plan was $6,100.
As part of an employment agreement,
the Company granted (the “Prior Grant”) to an executive a one-time equity award of 1,000,000 RSUs valued at $3,580,000, fair value, which award was originally set to vest in its entirety on August 18, 2024. The fair market value of the restricted stock award was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and was expensed on a straight-line basis to general and administrative expense as stock-based compensation over the one-year vesting term. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $890,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Under the original terms of the award, to the extent the Company had not established an employee equity compensation plan on or prior to August 18, 2024, the RSUs may have been converted, at the election of the executive, in full or in part, into cash compensation, at a rate of $3.58 per share of common stock, which was the fair market value of the common stock on October 10, 2023, which was the date the Board of Directors approved the grant. Since the issuance of the RSUs can be settled in cash, the monthly expense was credited to a liability account, stock compensation liability, instead of equity.
On August 16, 2024, the executive agreed
to cancel and forfeit the Prior Grant and, in lieu of the Prior Grant, the Company granted the executive 1,649,769 RSUs (“Replacement Grant”), pursuant to and subject to the 2024 Plan and an award agreement, as approved by the Board of Directors. The fair market value of the replacement grant was $3,580,000, which was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The shares of common stock underlying the Replacement Grant shall vest ratably and quarterly over a two-year period beginning on the Replacement Grant date, August 16, 2024. The cancellation and issuance of the Replacement Grant is treated as a modification of an award under FASB ASC 718. This modification resulted in an incremental fair value of $1,410,000, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the Replacement Grant and the fair value of the Prior Grant on the modification date. The incremental fair value will be recognized as additional compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the new two-year vesting period. The Company will relieve the stock compensation liability on a proportional basis as the Replacement Grant vests. On December 23, 2024, the executive agreed to forfeit to the Company all remaining 1,443,548 shares underlying the unvested RSUs outstanding under the Replacement Grant. The fair market value of $3,132,500 was recorded as a credit to equity and a debit to stock compensation payable.

Note 5. Long-term Receivables
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had long-term receivables of $1,196,800 and $1,292,800, respectively, from three and two licensees, respectively, representing the present value of fixed guaranteed royalty payments that will be payable over varying periods of two through five years that commenced in the second half of 2022 and terminate in the second quarter of 2028. The fixed guaranteed royalty payments result from amendments to license agreements with three existing licensees. The receivable represents the present value of the fixed minimum annual payments due under the license agreements, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate of 6.32% for two licensees that renewed in 2022 and 8.14% for one licensee that renewed in January 2025.
The three agreements grant licenses for the use of certain patented ink technology as it exists at the time that it is granted which is considered functional intellectual property. Under Topic 606, a performance obligation to transfer a license for functional intellectual property is satisfied at a point in time and the fixed consideration could be recognized upfront when the Company transfers control of the licensee if certain criteria are met. Specifically, the minimum royalty guarantee could be recognized upfront if the following conditions are met:
| · | The royalty payment is fixed or determinable |
|---|---|
| · | Collection of the royalty payment is considered probable |
| --- | --- |
| · | The licensee has the ability to benefit from the licensed technology |
| --- | --- |
The Company determined that the above conditions were
met upon execution of the three license agreements. The commissions are payable over the term of the license agreements and are due when payments are received by the Company. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the accrued commission payable balance was $125,200 and $128,500, respectively, included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses and accrued expenses, non-current.
The current portion of the three license agreements
in the amount of $593,700 and $545,700, is included in accounts receivable on the balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table summarizes the future minimum payments due under the three license agreements as of March 31, 2025:
| Schedule of future minimum payments | ||
|---|---|---|
| Year Ending December 31: | ||
| 2025 | $ | 465,000 |
| 2026 | 624,000 | |
| 2027 | 557,500 | |
| 2028 | 260,000 | |
| Total | $ | 1,906,500 |
The Company has evaluated the collectability of the long-term receivables and believes them to be fully collectible as of March 31, 2025. However, there can be no assurance that the receivables will not be impaired in the future due to changes in the licensees’ financial condition or other factors.
The long-term receivables are recorded at its
present value as of March 31, 2025, and the receivable and imputed interest will be amortized over the term of the license agreements using the effective interest method. The unamortized balance of the long-term receivables as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1,196,800 and $1,292,800, respectively. The unamortized imputed interest balance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $108,400 and $110,500, respectively, which will be recognized as interest income through June 30, 2028. Interest income derived from long-term receivables was $4,900 and $3,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, included in the statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement in connection with a private placement for total gross proceeds of $5.0 million. The stock purchase agreement provided for the issuance of an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an investor at a purchase price of $4.00 per share. On September 11, 2023, the sale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement closed. No placement fees or commissions were paid in connection with this transaction. In addition, as consideration for general advisory services until the third anniversary, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate total of 65,790 shares of common stock with a total fair market value on the date of grant of $263,160, which shares shall be issued as follows: one-third (21,930 shares) on September 11, 2024, which was issued on such date, one-third (21,930 shares) on September 11, 2025 and one-third (21,930 shares) on September 11, 2026. The Company expenses the value of the stock grant, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the term of the advisory agreement.

Note 7. Income Taxes
There was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, because the Company carried forward net losses for tax purposes.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
had federal net operating loss carry forwards of $664,000 and $707,000, respectively, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $2,546,000 and $2,568,000, respectively, which may be used to offset future taxable income. The remaining federal NOL's will not expire but will be limited to 80% of taxable income. The Pennsylvania NOL's began to expire in 2024, with $1,307,000 expiring by 2032. The remaining Pennsylvania NOL's expire in 20 years and the Florida NOL's will not expire.
The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities) are summarized as follows:
| Schedule of federal and state income tax expense | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||
| Deferred tax assets/(liabilities) | ||||||

| Valuation allowance | (458,800 | ) | (711,400 | ) | ||
| Net | $ | — | $ | — |
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the net decrease
in valuation allowance was $252,600.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
Reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax to the Company's effective tax:

| Provision (Benefit) for income taxes | — | — | — | — |
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three-year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred, but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2024 related to unrecognized tax benefits.
Tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Note 8. Earnings (Loss) per Share
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed using net earnings (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Since the Company did not have any common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same.

Note 10. Leases
The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring on May 31, 2025.
The Company entered into a second amendment to the operating lease agreement, relating to the leased facilities. The second amendment provides for an extension term to December 31, 2027, and for monthly rent payments of, initially, $7,147.00, escalating annually by 3.5%. The second amendment was signed on March 21, 2025 but is not effective until June 1, 2025. As such, no adjustments have been made to the condensed financial statements. The Company will account for the lease modification in the second quarter 2025 in accordance with ASC 842.
Other than as set forth above, the terms of the Lease Agreement remain unchanged.
The Company has capitalized the present value of the
minimum lease payments commencing May 1, 2024, using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 6.5%. The minimum lease payments do not include common area annual expenses which are considered to be non-lease components.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
the operating lease asset amounted to $13,100 and $32,400, respectively, and operating lease liability amounted to $14,200 and $35,200, respectively.
There are no other material operating leases. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases.
Total operating lease costs were $19,800 and $13,300
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Undiscounted future minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2025, by year and in aggregate are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysisof Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Information
This Report on Form 10-Q contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management. This information should also be read in conjunction with our audited historical financial statements which are included in the Annual Report.
Background Overview
Nocopi Technologies, Inc. develops and markets specialty reactive inks for applications in the large educational and toy products market. We also develop and market technologies for document and product authentication, which we believe can reduce losses caused by fraudulent document reproduction or by product counterfeiting and/or diversion. We derive our revenues primarily from licensing our technologies on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to licensees who incorporate our technologies into their product offering and from selling products incorporating our technologies to the licensees or to their licensed printers.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” and other similar terms means Nocopi Technologies, Inc., a Maryland corporation.
Results of Operations
The Company’s revenues are derived from (a) royalties paid by licensees of our technologies, (b) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees and (c) from the direct sale of (i) products incorporating our technologies, such as inks, security paper and pressure sensitive labels, and (ii) equipment used to support the application of our technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties payable by our licensees in certain cases and additional royalties which typically vary with the licensee’s sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology. Service fees and sales revenues vary directly with the number of units of service or product provided.
The Company recognizes revenue on its lines of business as follows:
| a. | License fees for the use of our technology and royalties with guaranteed minimum amounts are recognized at a point in time when the term begins; |
|---|---|
| b. | Product sales are recognized at the time of the transfer of goods to customers at an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods, which is at the time of shipment; and |
| c. | Fees for technical services are recognized at the time of the transfer of services to customers at an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services, which is when the service has been rendered. |
We believe that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those we have achieved in recent years may not be achievable, our operating results are substantially dependent on revenue levels. Because revenues derived from licenses and royalties carry a much higher gross profit margin than other revenues, operating results are also substantially affected by changes in revenue mix.
Both the absolute amount of the Company’s revenues and the mix among the various sources of revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. We have a relatively small number of substantial customers rather than a large number of small customers. Accordingly, changes in the revenue received from a significant customer can have a substantial effect on the Company’s total revenue, revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a substantial customer’s product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies, production requirements and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain provisions of their license agreements and, when the Company agrees to revise such terms, revenues from the customer may be adversely affected.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $479,000 compared to $398,300 in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $80,700, or approximately 20%. Licenses, royalties and fees increased by $103,800, or approximately 120%, in the first quarter of 2025 to $190,300 from $86,500 in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 is due primarily to the renewal of one of our existing licenses, which resulted in the recognition of the future minimum guaranteed royalty payments of $101,600. We cannot assure you that the marketing and product development activities of the Company’s licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce a significant increase in revenues for the Company, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic conditions presently being experienced.
Product and other sales decreased by $23,100, or approximately 7%, to $288,700 in the first quarter of 2025 from $311,800 in the first quarter of 2024. Sales of ink decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to lower ink shipments to the third party authorized printer used by two of the Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company derived revenues of approximately $354,900 from the Company’s licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to revenues of approximately $369,500 in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company’s gross profit increased to $273,700, or approximately 57% of gross revenues, in the first quarter of 2025 from $165,600, or approximately 42% of gross revenues, in the first quarter of 2024 due to increase in licenses and royalties and a decrease in fees and product and other sales revenues. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product and other sales, which generally consist of either supplies or other manufactured products which incorporate the Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross profit than licenses, royalties and fees.
As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both the gross profit from these sources as well as the Company’s overall gross profit. The gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees increased to approximately 77% in the first quarter of 2025 from approximately 40% in the first quarter of 2024.
The gross profit of product and other sales, expressed as a percentage of revenues, is dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the specific goods produced and/or sold. Primarily due to lower sales of ink and other products and the overall mix in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, there was a higher gross profit from product and other sales of approximately 44% of revenues in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a gross profit of approximately 42% of revenues in the first quarter of 2024.
Research and development expenses increased in the first quarter of 2025 to $45,000 compared to $41,400 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher lab expenses in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $91,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $69,000 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher commission expense on the higher level of revenues in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as well as an increase in rent & occupancy expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2025 to $223,500 compared to $1,214,800 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to lower stock-based compensation, higher professional fees, and lower employee related expenses in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
For the first quarter of 2025, there was no income tax benefit for the net income for the first quarter of 2025 due to the recording of a full valuation allowance since it is more likely than not that that the realization of the net deferred tax assets would not be realized. Income taxes in the first quarter of 2024 include federal and state income taxes. The state income taxes result from limitations placed on income tax net operating loss deductions by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The net income of $25,500 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the net loss of $1,028,200 in the first quarter of 2024 resulted primarily from a higher level of ink licenses, product, and other sales revenue in combination with lower quarterly operating expenses, as well as the positive other income generated in the first quarter of 2025, when compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s cash increased to $11,209,400 at March 31, 2025 from $10,839,700 at December 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company generated $369,700 from its operating activities.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s revenues increased approximately 20% primarily as a result of higher licenses, royalties and fees revenue in the entertainment and toy products, which more than offset a modest decline in product and other sales of ink to an authorized printer of the Company. Our total overhead expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2025 to $359,500 compared to $1,325,200 in the first quarter of 2024, and the Company’s interest income decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. As a result of these factors, the Company generated net income of $25,500 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $1,028,200 in the first quarter of 2024. The Company had positive operating cash flow of $369,700 during the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $12,526,100 and stockholders’ equity of $13,667,300. For the full year of 2024, the Company had a net loss of $2,678,900 and had positive operating cash flow of $594,800. At December 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $12,388,300 and stockholders’ equity of $13,639,800.
Our plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q consists of concentrating available human and financial resources to continue to capitalize on the specific business relationships the Company has developed in the entertainment and toy products market. This includes two licensees that have been marketing products incorporating the Company’s technologies since 2012. These two licensees maintain a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products market and are well known and highly regarded participants in this market. We anticipate that these two licensees will expand their current offerings that incorporate our technologies and will introduce and market new products that will incorporate our technologies available to them under their license agreements with the Company. We will continue to develop various applications for these licensees. We also plan to expand our licensee base in the entertainment and toy market. We currently have additional licensees marketing or developing products incorporating our technologies in certain geographic and niche markets of the overall entertainment and toy products market.
The Company maintains its presence in the retail loss prevention market and believes that revenue growth in this market can be achieved through increased security ink sales to its licensees in this market. We will continue to adjust our production and technical staff as necessary and, subject to available financial resources, invest in capital equipment needed to support potential growth in ink production requirements beyond our current capacity. Additionally, we will pursue opportunities to market our current technologies in specific security and non-security markets. There can be no assurances that these efforts will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.
Our future growth strategy includes expanding our business through acquisitions of other companies with competing or complementary services, technologies or businesses in order to expand our product and service offerings to grow our free cash flow. We are currently actively engaged in the process to identify acquisition candidates and negotiate transactions. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have no agreements to make any acquisition. We expect to fund our business expansion through the issuance of debt or equity securities, the payment of cash, the exchange of services, or any combination thereof.
The Company has received, and may in the future seek, additional capital in the form of debt, equity or both, to support our working capital requirements and to provide funding for other business opportunities. We cannot assure you that if we require additional capital, that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, or that such additional capital, if obtained, will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.
As previously stated, we generate a significant portion of our total revenues from licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. These licensees generally sell their products through retail outlets. In the future, such sales may be adversely affected by changes in consumer spending that may occur as a result of an uncertain economic environment in 2025 and beyond and its effect on the global economy, geopolitical instability including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East and the supply chain disruptions related to both as well as the record inflation and significantly higher interest rates currently being experienced in the United States along with the probability of an economic recession both in the United States and globally. As a result, our revenues, results of operations and liquidity may be negatively impacted in future periods.
