PART I
This Form 10-K contains some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industries, (d) our future financing plans and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this Form 10-K generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Form 10-K generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
1. Organizational History
The Company was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York on June 17, 2005 as “Vycor Medical LLC”. On August 14, 2007, we converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to “Vycor Medical, Inc.” (“Vycor”). The Company’s listing went effective on February 2009 and on November 29, 2010 Vycor completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. (“NovaVision”) and on January 4, 2012 Vycor, through its wholly-owned NovaVision subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science Limited (“Sight Science”), a previous competitor to NovaVision.
2. Overview of Business
Vycor is dedicated to providing the medical community with innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions and operates two distinct business units within the medical device industry. Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. NovaVision provides non-invasive rehabilitation therapies for those who have vision disorders resulting from neurological brain damage such as that caused by a stroke. Both businesses adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach. The Company leverages joint resources across the divisions to operate in a cost-efficient manner.
Vycor Medical
Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. Vycor Medical’s ViewSite Brain Access System (“VBAS”) is a next generation retraction and access system. Vycor Medical is ISO 13485:2016 and MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certified, and VBAS has U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for Europe (MDD Class III) for brain and spine surgeries, and regulatory approvals in other international markets.
NovaVision
NovaVision provides non-invasive, computer-based rehabilitation therapies targeted at people who have impaired vision as a result of stroke or other brain injury.
Strategy
The Company is continuing to execute on a plan to achieve revenue growth. The strategy for Vycor Medical includes: increasing market penetration in the US; increasing international growth in territories where we are not represented or under-represented; continued new product development in response to market demands and demonstrating applicability in a broader range of pathologies; and adding products complementary to VBAS where the Company is able to leverage its existing distribution network.
Given NovaVision’s resources, and the large size and diversity of its end markets, we believe that the most efficient way to tackle the distribution of its patient and professional products is by partnering with entities that have either direct access to the end users or the technological capability to leverage the NovaVision therapy platform, particularly in digital health and into non-medical areas. Management is also open to a broad range of alternatives for NovaVision as a whole, which could comprise distribution and marketing partnerships, licensing, merger or sale.
In August 2024 the Company engaged the services of Maxim Group LLC to assist in its strategy to accelerate the growth of the Company through strategic acquisitions and partnerships.

Liquidity and Plan of Operations, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $72,426 and $107,200 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively and has not generated sufficient cash flows from operations. As at December 31, 2025 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,218,046, which includes related party liabilities of $3,658,382. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements 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 from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As described earlier in this ITEM 1 “Strategy”, the Company is executing on a plan to achieve a reduction in cash operating losses. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000 to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. (“EuroAmerican”), together with accrued interest of $569,030, which has a maturity date of June 30, 2026, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond June 30, 2026 will be available. However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through March 31, 2027 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Fountainhead, the Company’s largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products or cease some of its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
| 8 |
Seasonality
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation; rising raw material and labor costs will result in an increase in the cost of sales, but not to a material level.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The preparation of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that it believes are 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 evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. The SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, there are no material estimates or assumptions with levels of subjectivity and judgement necessary to be considered critical accounting policies.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vycor Medical, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vycor Medical, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception, including a net loss of $72,426 and $107,200 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, and has not generated sufficient cash flows from its operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,218,046, which includes related party liabilities of $3,658,382. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The accompanying 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 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 Matters
The 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 for the current audit period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND GOING CONCERN
Business Description
Vycor Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops and markets neurological medical devices and therapies through two operating divisions: Vycor Medical and NovaVision. Vycor Medical focuses on devices for neurosurgery; NovaVision provides non-invasive, computer-based rehabilitation therapies targeted at people who have impaired vision as a result of stroke or other brain injury.
Ability to continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $
The
Company is executing on a plan to achieve a reduction in cash operating losses. Included within the working capital deficiency above
is a term note for $
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Following the decision in April 2020 to close the German office of NovaVision, the activities of NovaVision GmbH have been accounted for as discontinued operations.
| 15 |
During the year ended December 31, 2025 there were no shares repurchased however during the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company repurchased shares from a single shareholder. The Company followed guidance ASC 505-30-30, retiring the stock and reducing Equity by the nominal value of the shares repurchased and reducing Additional Paid In Capital by the balance of the consideration paid.
Revenue Recognition
Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers. Vycor Medical does not provide for product returns or warranty costs.
Vycor determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price | |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when Vycor satisfy a performance obligation |
NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as software license sales. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision’s vision restoration therapy software, eye movement training software, diagnostic software, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical therapy program consists of NeuroEyeCoach, performed over 2-4 weeks, and six modules of Vision Restoration Therapy, performed over 6 months. A patient contract comprises set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame.
Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by division – Vycor and NovaVision – and by geography – United States and Europe – and presents the disaggregation in Note 7.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation: on the balance sheets, inventory has been separated out into current and non-current inventory; and on the cash flow statement, purchase of and sale of fixed assets has been presented as gross vs. a net presentation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The
Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution in the U.S. are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $
| 16 |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are due from the hospitals and distributors in the case of Vycor Medical, and from patients directly for therapy or physicians for diagnostic products in the case of NovaVision. Accounts receivable are due once products have been delivered or at the time the therapy is initiated; however, for NovaVision therapy patients sometimes credit is extended through various payment plans based on individual financial conditions, generally not to exceed the therapy period. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
We
have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing
accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally
do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and
maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required. We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating
specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use
assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against
amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted
as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also
record a general allowance as necessary. Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue
and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts. At December 31, 2025
and 2024 allowance for doubtful accounts – accounts receivable amounted to $
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods that are stated at the lower of cost determined using the weighted average
cost method, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated
costs to complete and dispose of the product. If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written
down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. The charge provision for inventory obsolescence
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $
Leases
The Company has one leased building in Boca Raton, Florida that is classified as operating lease right-of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as per ASC 842. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as held for sale. When all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale are met, including management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations (which we presented as operations to be disposed and operations disposed), less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.
| 17 |
Foreign Currency
The Euro is the local currency of the country in which the discontinued operations of NovaVision GmbH conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity; the GB Pound is the local currency of the country in which Sight Science Limited conducts its operations and is considered the functional currency of this entity. All balance sheet amounts are translated to U.S. dollars using the U.S. exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for the equity section which is translated at historical rates. Operating statement amounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period of operations. Foreign currency translation effects are accumulated as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included in stockholders’ deficiency in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Educational marketing and advertising expenses
The Company may incur costs for the education of customers on the uses and benefits of its products. The Company will include education, marketing and advertising expense as a component of selling, general and administrative costs as such costs are incurred. There were no such expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Income taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
| 18 |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Research and Development
The
Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts charged
to research and development expenses were $
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management’s estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and provision for inventory obsolescence.
The Company recognizes the cost of all stock-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Stock-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. Stock-based payments are valued using the quoted stock price at grant date and amortized over the service term of the contract under which such stock is issued.
Convertible Instruments
We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The embedded conversion option in connection with our convertible debt could not be exercised unless and until we completed a Qualifying Financing transaction. Accordingly, we determined based on authoritative guidance that the embedded conversion option is deemed to be a contingent conversion option that did not require accounting recognition at the commitment dates of the issuances of the Notes.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to increase a net income per share or reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented of net loss because the assumed conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.

Segments
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer, for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has two business operating segments (Vycor Medical, which focuses on devices for neurosurgery; and NovaVision, which provides non-invasive, computer-based rehabilitation therapies targeted at people who have impaired vision as a result of stroke or other brain injury and which includes Sight Science) as defined by ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The CODM uses gross profit to allocate operating and capital resources and assesses performance of each segment by comparing actual gross profit results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time-to-time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that other recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU retrospectively on December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 7 for the inclusion of the new required disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation items, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations, income tax expense (benefit) and income taxes paid, net disclosures by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, among others. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this ASU retrospectively on December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 11 for the inclusion of the new required disclosures.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance can be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2024-03, if any, upon adoption on January 1, 2027.
Financial Instruments – Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current classified accounts receivable and contract assets. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-05 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In April 2020, the board of Vycor took the decision to close the German operations of NovaVision, including the German office and NovaVision GmbH, and instead migrate to a licensed business model; effective July 1, 2020, Vycor entered into a license agreement with a German-based partner. The NovaVision German office was closed effective June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to fund the remaining expenses of the German operations, which are non-material, until such a time as NovaVision GmbH will be formally wound up.

The Company from time-to-time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the “measurement date” using an option pricing model, or their contractual value if different in the case of common stock. The “measurement date” for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant.

Deferred Income Taxes
The Company has operations in the US and the UK, with discontinued operations in Germany, and has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any tax benefit related to such net operating losses in the financial statements. Prior to August 15, 2007 the Company’s US operating entity was a limited liability company and losses were passed through to the individual members, therefore the Company only has potential tax benefits from the date it became a ‘C’ corporation.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Upon adoption of ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, significant components of the Company and its subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

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 not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
The
authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets recorded if, based on the weight of the evidence,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Furthermore, in circumstances in
which management has determined that existing conditions or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern
the authoritative guidance requires that a valuation allowance should be recorded for all deferred tax assets. Accordingly, management
has determined that a

If any earnings were distributed to US in the form of dividends or otherwise, after the repayment of intercompany debt, the Company would be subject to additional US income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes.
Uncertain Tax Position
The Company files tax returns in the U.S. and various states, as well as in the UK and Germany. Tax years within the periods 2021 to 2025 are open for audit in the US by the IRS or states. Any net operating losses and tax credits generated within these years are subject to adjustment for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Tax returns have yet to be filed in the UK for 2025 and in Germany for 2024 and 2025. The 2010 tax assessment for Germany remains open (see Note 12) but the assessments for 2011 to 2023 have been accepted.
The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits during 2025 and 2024. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that a material weakness occurred as of April 1, 2021 and has continued to have a weakness through the present date, on account of the resignation of the independent members of the Company’s Audit Committee as of that date. Effective that date, our disclosure and controls were no longer effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and its CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The matter involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be a material weakness under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was a lack of a functioning audit committee with independent members, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
Management believes that the material weakness set forth did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 assets of the company; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; 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 the financial statements. |
| 30 |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
We carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and on those criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the lack of a functioning audit committee with independent members, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.
c) Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, do not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
