On April 13, 2023, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 13, 2023, by and among ZRCN, Inc. (f/k/a Harmony Energy Technologies Corp.) (the “Company”), ZRCN, Inc., a California corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Zircon Corporation, a California corporation (“Zircon” or “Zircon Corp.”), upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, including approval of the transaction by Zircon’s shareholders, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Zircon (the “Merger”), with Zircon surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The shareholders of Zircon will become the majority owners of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon the closing of the Merger. Terms of the Merger include a payment of approximately an aggregate of $180,000 to certain creditors of the Company from Zircon, which is intended to repay certain of the Company’s payables at closing.

Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), unanimously (i) determined that the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Zircon, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Zircon Common Stock”) (other than any cancelled shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 177,339,233 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). As a result, immediately following the Effective Time, the former Zircon shareholders will hold approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and the shareholders of the Company will retain ownership of approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, the Company will issue certain consultants and advisors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,308,177 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Consultant Warrants”). The Consultant Warrants will be a ten year warrant, and will have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company agreed to change its name to ZRCN Inc., as further described in Item 3.03 and Item 5.03 below.

The closing is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (i) the required approvals by the Zircon shareholders, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality qualifications, (iii) compliance by the parties with their respective covenants, (iv) no law or order preventing the merger and related transactions, and (v) execution of certain Warrant Exchange Agreements and Debt Settlement Agreements (each as defined below).

On April 14, 2023, the Company completed its business combination with Zircon in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Zircon, with Zircon surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Merger Agreement (and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) has been included to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company and Zircon. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Merger Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors and shareholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and shareholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

WarrantExchange Agreement

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement, dated April 14, 2023 (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”), with certain Holders of the Company’s warrants under which such holders will receive 470,188 shares of Common Stock in exchange for their warrants. The foregoing description of the Warrant Exchange Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Warrant Exchange Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

The issuance of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement, and are subject to further contractual restrictions on transfer as described below.


DebtSettlement Agreement

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into debt settlement agreements (the “Debt Settlement Agreements”) with certain creditors of the Company under which the Company agreed to make certain payments over the next 12 months to the creditors in satisfaction of an aggregate of $576,881 which was owed to them.

The foregoing description of the Escrow Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Escrow Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.


DESCRIPTION

OF BUSINESS

Zircon was founded in 1977 as a start-up in Northern California (Silicon Valley). In 1980, Zircon introduced the market’s first capacitor plate based stud finder to detect changes in the dielectric constant of a wall. With the “Stud Sensor”, Zircon singlehandedly opened an entirely new market segment to the electronics industry: the hardware business. Zircon then set out to develop novel stud finders, metal detectors and electrical scanners for use in the home and commercial repair, construction, improvement, and interior decor industry which includes both professionals and do-it-yourselfers.

Zircon products are sold and marketed to both do-it-yourself (DIY) retail and professional consumers through third-party retailers and distributors worldwide and sold direct to consumers through the company’s website at www.zircon.com.

| -3- |

| --- |

Zircon designed and manufactured the original StudSensor™ stud finder, and is committed to providing innovative, proprietary, affordable, and easy-to-use technology to the world’s toolboxes. Zircon’s patented technology solves everyday problems for DIYers, the professional construction trades, and home décor installers worldwide.

Zircon develops, owns, and continuously refines the proprietary and licensed technologies and designs for all its products. Sensor development, custom mixed-mode ASICs (chips), software, firmware and ergonomic design are major components of the company’s overall IP portfolio and strategy.

Zircon’s intellectual property portfolio consists of approximately 113 individual patents, including at least 83 US patents, 26 Canadian patents and 4 China patents, 19 trademarks and tradenames, including 13 registered trademarks, and 6 unregistered tradenames.

Zircon products are available to retail and professional consumers directly through its website, and through multi-decade relationships with major online and offline physical retailers like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Walmart, ACE, Amazon and many others.

Zircon has announced a new product technology and associated new products based on its proprietary ‘Superscan’ technology. The company is accepting pre-orders for its new products and expects to deliver products from this new line to retail customers and distributors in fiscal 2nd quarter of 2023.

Zircon intends to invest in this and other new technologies, and deploy a full line of new products to complement its existing product portfolio, enter new markets, and significantly expand penetration into the company’s existing global markets.

New markets for Zircon products and technology could include inspection data sales to the insurance industry, commercial building certification and testing, public infrastructure assessment, Building Information Modelling, and other areas where the company believes its unique technology could be beneficial.

SECURITY

OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock immediately after the closing of the Merger on April 14, 2023:

each person,<br> or group of affiliated persons, who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company;
each executive officer<br> and director of the Company; and
all of the Company’s<br> executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including securities that are exercisable or convertible, as the case may be, within 60 days of April 14, 2023. Shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such securities are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities and the percentage of any group of which the person is a member but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, the combined Company believes, based on the information furnished to it, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose, including for purposes of Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 198,964,500 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding upon the closing of the Merger.

Affiliated Entities

Zircon is a member of a controlled group of companies and has revenue and cost-sharing activities with other members of the controlled group. Results of operations and financial condition may not represent amounts that would have been reported if the company operated as an unaffiliated entity.

Zircon has an exclusive manufacturing and technical assistance agreement with Zircon de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the “contractor”), an entity which is owned by certain shareholders of Zircon.

Under the terms of the agreement, Zircon provides materials, technical assistance, and expertise to the contractor, and the contractor assembles certain of Zircon’s products. Zircon paid the contractor for costs incurred in manufacturing Zircon’s products, as defined in the contract, plus a profit percentage of approximately 5% of actual cost during the 9 month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Total payments including the profit percentage amounted to $1,862,179 and $1,987,013 for the 9 month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Zircon had a payable to the contractor of approximately $89,331 and $33,046, respectively.

Zircon has a note payable to the contractor. The note was established for the purpose of reducing the payable balance and to satisfy the company’s lender’s requirements. During the period December 31, 2021, Zircon increased the borrowings by $400,000 to reduce the payable balance and to control the timing of the expected cash payments. The outstanding loan balance on December 31, 2022 was at $800,000. The note bears interest at the current Federal funds rate not to exceed 5% and is limited to an increase of no more than 2% annually. The entire principal balance is due and payable in December 2024 and is subordinated to the line of credit agreement the company has with the bank.

In September 2017, an affiliated company, Zircon Corporation Limited, was established in the United Kingdom to facilitate the sale of Zircon’s products to European customers and operations began during the year ended March 31, 2019. The ownership structure of the affiliate is similar to the ownership of Zircon. The company pays certain administrative and selling expenses of the affiliate. During the 9 month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the company recorded sales to the affiliate of approximately $5,611 and $38,457, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the company had a receivable from the affiliate of approximately $95,400 and $175,751, respectively.

Section 2.02 Dissenting Shares.

(a) For<br> purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” shall mean shares of Zircon Capital<br> Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held as of<br> the Effective Time by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto<br> in writing and who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares in accordance with<br> Chapter 13 of the CCC (until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses<br> such holder’s appraisal rights under the CCC with respect to such shares, at which<br> time such shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares). Dissenting Shares will only entitle<br> the holder thereof to such rights as are granted by the CCC to a holder thereof and shall<br> not be converted into or represent the right to receive Harmony Common Stock unless the stockholder<br> holding such Dissenting Shares shall have forfeited his, her or its right to appraisal under<br> the CCC or properly withdrawn his, her or its demand for appraisal. If such stockholder has<br> so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then (i)<br> as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to<br> be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time,<br> into and represent the right to receive Harmony Common Stock issuable in respect of such<br> Zircon Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(c), without interest, and (ii) promptly following<br> the occurrence of such event, Harmony shall deliver a certificate representing Harmony Common<br> Stock to which such stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(c) as well as any cash<br> or other distributions to which such holder of Zircon Common Stock may be entitled to under<br> this Article II if not previously delivered.
(b) Zircon<br> shall give Harmony (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Zircon Common<br> Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments that relate to such demands<br> received by Zircon and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with<br> respect to demands for appraisal under the CCC. Zircon shall not, except with the prior written<br> consent of Harmony (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)<br> or where required by applicable law, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal<br> of Zircon Capital Stock or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

Article III. Representations and Warranties of Zircon

Zircon represents and warrants to Harmony and Merger Sub that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct, except as set forth herein or in the disclosure schedule delivered and/or otherwise made available by Zircon to Harmony and Merger Sub as of the Effective Date (the “Zircon Disclosure Schedule”). For purposes hereof, the phrase “to the knowledge of Zircon” and similar expressions mean the actual knowledge of the persons identified on Section K of the Zircon Disclosure Schedule for this purpose, and such knowledge as such persons would reasonably be expected to have obtained in the course of their performance of their positions at Zircon (after due inquiry).

Section 3.01 Organization, Standing and Power. Zircon is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction listed on Section 3.01 of the Zircon Disclosure Schedule, which jurisdictions constitute the only jurisdictions in which the character of the properties it owns, operates or leases or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, that have not had, and are not reasonably likely to have, a Zircon Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Zircon Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse change, effect, event, circumstance or development that is materially adverse to or has a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, capitalization, financial condition, or results of operations of Zircon, taken as a whole; provided, however, that none of the following, to the extent arising after the Effective Date, either alone or in combination, shall be deemed to be a Zircon Material Adverse Effect, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be a Zircon Material Adverse Effect: any change or event caused by or resulting from (A) changes in prevailing economic or market conditions in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such entities have substantial business operations (except to the extent those changes have a disproportionate effect on Zircon relative to the other participants in the industry or industries in which Zircon operates), (B) changes or events affecting the industry or industries in which Zircon operates generally (except to the extent those changes or events have a disproportionate effect on Zircon relative to the other participants in the industry or industries in which Zircon operates), (C) changes in generally accepted accounting principles or requirements (except to the extent those changes have a disproportionate effect on Zircon relative to the other participants in the industry or industries in which Zircon operates), (D) changes in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability or interpretations thereof by any Governmental Entity (including any law, directive, pronouncement or guideline issued by a Governmental Body, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization providing for business closures, changes to business operations, “sheltering-in-place,” curfews or other restrictions that relate to, or arise out of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 (and all related strains and sequences), including any intensification, resurgence or any evolutions or mutations thereof, and/or related or associated epidemics, pandemics, disease outbreaks or public health emergencies (“COVID-19”), including the CARES Act (“COVID-19 Measures”)) (except to the extent those changes have a disproportionate effect on Zircon relative to the other participants in the industry or industries in which Zircon operate), (E) changes in, or effects arising from or relating to, any earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, tornado, flood, mudslide or other natural disaster, epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak (including COVID-19), weather condition, explosion or fire or other force majeure event or act of God (except to the extent those changes or events have a disproportionate effect on Zircon relative to the other participants in the industry or industries in which Zircon operate), (F) any failure by Zircon to meet any estimates or expectations of Zircon’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period, (G) any failure to receive consents or approvals in connection with the agreements listed on Section 3.04(c) of the Zircon Disclosure Schedule or (H) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, or the announcement or pendency thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the terms “material,” “materially” and “materiality” as used in this Agreement with an initial lower case “m” shall have their respective customary and ordinary meanings, without regard to the meanings ascribed to Zircon Material Adverse Effect or Harmony Material Adverse Effect, in each case as defined in this Agreement. Zircon has made available to Harmony complete and accurate copies of its articles of incorporation and bylaws and is not in material default under or in material violation of any provision of either such document.

Since January 1, 2020, Harmony’s principal executive<br> officer and its principal financial officer have disclosed to Harmony’s auditors and<br> the audit committee of the Harmony Board all known (i) significant deficiencies and material<br> weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that<br> are reasonably likely to adverse and materially affect the Company’s ability to record,<br> process, summarize and report financial information, (ii) material weaknesses in the design<br> and operation of internal controls over financial reporting, and (iii) any fraud, whether<br> or not material, that involves the management or other employees who have a significant role<br> in Harmony’s internal controls over financial reporting. Each of Harmony and its Subsidiaries<br> have materially complied with or substantially addressed such deficiencies, material weaknesses<br> and/or fraud. | | --- | --- |

| --- | | (f) | Harmony<br> is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley<br> Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Each required form,<br> report and document containing financial statements that has been filed with or submitted<br> to the SEC was accompanied by any certifications required to be filed or submitted by Harmony’s<br> principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley<br> Act and, at the time of filing or submission of each such certification, any such certification<br> complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.<br> Neither Harmony nor any of its executive officers has received written notice from any Governmental<br> Entity challenging or questioning the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of<br> such certifications. | | --- | --- | | (g) | As<br> of the Effective Date, Harmony has timely responded to all comment letters of the staff of<br> the SEC relating to the Harmony SEC Reports, and the SEC has not advised Harmony that any<br> final responses are inadequate, insufficient or otherwise non-responsive. The Harmony has<br> made available to Zircon true, correct and complete copies of all comment letters, written<br> inquiries and enforcement correspondence between the SEC, on the one hand, and Harmony and<br> any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, occurring since January 1, 2020 and will, reasonably<br> promptly following the receipt thereof, make available to the Company any such correspondence<br> sent or received after the date hereof. To the knowledge of Harmony, as of the Effective<br> Date, none of the Harmony SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding<br> SEC comment. | | --- | --- | | (h) | Each<br> of the principal executive officer of Harmony and the principal financial officer of Harmony<br> (or each former principal executive officer of Harmony and each former principal financial<br> officer of Harmony, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Rule 13a-14 or<br> 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules<br> and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to the Harmony SEC Reports,<br> and the statements contained in such certifications were true and correct on the date such<br> certifications were made. For purposes of this Section 4.05(h), “principal executive<br> officer” and “principal financial officer” has the meanings given to such<br> terms in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. | | --- | --- | | (i) | Neither<br> Harmony nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of Harmony, any director, officer,<br> employee, or internal or external auditor of Harmony or any of its Subsidiaries has received<br> or otherwise had or obtained actual knowledge of any substantive material complaint, allegation,<br> assertion or claim, whether written or oral, that Harmony or any of its Subsidiaries has<br> engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. | | --- | --- |

Section 9.04 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) For<br> the purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “Indemnitee” shall refer to the<br> Person or Persons indemnified, or entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to be indemnified,<br> pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, as the case may be, and<br> (ii) the term “Indemnitor” shall refer to the Person or Persons having the actual<br> or alleged obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions.
(b) In<br> order to make a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee must provide written<br> notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such claim to the Indemnitor (and with respect to<br> any claim against Harmony prior to the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent), which Claim Notice<br> shall include (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances which relate to<br> the subject matter of such indemnification claim to the extent then known and (ii) the amount<br> of Losses suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with the claim to the extent known or<br> reasonably estimable (provided, that the Indemnitee may thereafter in good faith adjust the<br> amount of Losses with respect to the claim by providing a revised Claim Notice to the Indemnitor<br> and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent); provided, that the copy of any Claim Notice provided<br> to the Escrow Agent shall be redacted for any confidential or proprietary information of<br> the Indemnitor or the Indemnitees described in clause (i) above.
--- ---
(c) In<br> the case of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement arising from a claim of a<br> third party (including any Governmental Entity), an Indemnitee must give a Claim Notice the<br> Indemnitor of such third party claim promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days)<br> after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of such claim; provided, that the failure<br> to timely provide such notice will not relieve an Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations<br> except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually harmed thereby. The Indemnitor will<br> have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim in its name and<br> at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnitor unless: (i) the Indemnitor fails<br> to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after receiving<br> notice of such third party claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations<br> therefor; (ii) if the Indemnitor is Harmony, (A) the applicable third party claimant is a<br> Governmental Entity or a then-current customer of Zircon or any of its Affiliates or (B)<br> an adverse judgment with respect to the claim will establish a precedent materially adverse<br> to the continuing business interests of Zircon or its Affiliates; (iii) there is a conflict<br> of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense such<br> that representation of both Indemnitor and Indemnitee by the same counsel would violate professional<br> standards of conduct for attorneys in the jurisdiction where the Indemnitor’s counsel<br> is practicing on behalf of the Indemnitor; (iv) the applicable third party alleges claims<br> of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; (v) such claim is criminal<br> in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction<br> or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee; or (vi) the claim seeks or is reasonably<br> expected to seek damages or other amounts that would result in all or any portion of the<br> Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for such claim (when combined in the aggregate<br> with the amount of all other pending and finally determined claims against the Indemnitor)<br> being either (A) if the Indemnitor is Harmony, in excess of the then remaining Escrow Shares<br> (as defined below) unless Harmony provides evidence reasonably acceptable to Zircon of Harmony’s<br> ability to pay all potential amounts with respect to such claim and all other pending and<br> finally determined claims against Harmony, along with security or an escrow arrangement reasonably<br> acceptable to Zircon for such amounts, or (B) limited by the Indemnification Cap. If the<br> Indemnitor elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such claim, it will within fifteen<br> (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its<br> intent to do so, and the Indemnitee will, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor, cooperate<br> in the defense of such claim. If the Indemnitor elects not to, or is not entitled under this Section<br> 9.04 to, compromise or defend such claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election<br> as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under<br> this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such claim. Notwithstanding<br> anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor will have no indemnification obligations<br> with respect to any such claim which has been or will be settled by the Indemnitee without<br> the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,<br> delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,<br> the Indemnitee will not be required to refrain from paying any claim which has matured by<br> a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof<br> has been stayed, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay<br> in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or<br> assets then held by the Indemnitee or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnitee<br> material economic loss. The Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense will include the<br> right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim by a third party; provided, further,<br> that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnitee to agree to any settlement<br> that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and<br> competition restrictions) by the Indemnitee (other than the delivery of a release for such<br> claim and customary confidentiality obligations), except with the prior written consent of<br> the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding<br> the Indemnitor’s right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding<br> sentence, the Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the<br> Indemnitee; provided, however, that consent by the Indemnitee to settlement or<br> compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnitee will<br> have the right to participate in the defense of any claim with counsel selected by it subject<br> to the Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such<br> counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that, in the<br> case of any claim which seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee,<br> the fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitor.
--- ---
| 58 |

| --- | | (d) | With<br> respect to any direct indemnification claim under this Agreement that does not arise from<br> a third-party claim, the Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt<br> of the Claim Notice within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnitor does not respond within<br> such thirty (30) days, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for<br> the Losses set forth in the Claim Notice and will have no further right to contest the validity<br> of the Claim Notice. If the Indemnitor responds within such thirty (30) days after the receipt<br> of the Claim Notice and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee will be free<br> to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under this Agreement (including any exhibits,<br> schedules and/or other agreements entered into in connections with the transactions contemplated<br> hereby) or applicable Law. | | --- | --- |

Section 9.05 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Harmony<br> shall not be liable for an indemnification claim made under Section 9.02 (a) for which a<br> claim for indemnification is not asserted hereunder on or before the applicable Survival<br> Date; (b) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Zircon Indemnitees<br> in the aggregate exceeds Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000) (the “Basket”)<br> in which case Harmony shall be obligated to the applicable Zircon Indemnitees for the amount<br> of all Losses in excess of the Basket; or (c) to the extent Losses incurred by Zircon Indemnitees<br> in the aggregate exceed an amount equal to the value of the Escrow Shares, as such value<br> is determined as set forth in Section 9.07(a) (the “Indemnification Cap”).
(b) Zircon<br> shall not be liable for an indemnification claim made under Section 9.03 (a) for which a<br> claim for indemnification is not asserted hereunder on or before the applicable Survival<br> Date; (b) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Harmony Indemnitees<br> in the aggregate exceeds the Basket, in which case Zircon shall be obligated to the applicable<br> Harmony Indemnitees for the amount of all Losses in excess of the Basket; or (c) to the extent<br> Losses incurred by Harmony Indemnitees in the aggregate exceed an amount equal to the Indemnification<br> Cap.
--- ---

Section 9.06 General Indemnification Provisions. The amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts paid to the Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof as a reimbursement with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder, except to the extent that such waiver of subrogation would prejudice any applicable insurance coverage), including any indemnification received by the Indemnitee or such Affiliate from an unrelated party with respect to such Losses, net of the costs of collection and any related anticipated future increases in insurance premiums resulting from such Loss or insurance payment. No investigation or knowledge by a Party of a breach of a representation or warranty of another Party hereto shall affect the representations and warranties of the breaching Party or the recourse available to such first Party or any of its “Indemnitees” under any provision of this Agreement (including this Article IX) with respect thereto. In any claim for indemnification under this Agreement, no Person shall be required to indemnify any Person for punitive damages or special damages, unless such punitive damages, or special damages are actually awarded and paid to a third party.

Section 9.07 Escrow; Timing of Payment; Right to Set-Off.

(a) All<br> claims for indemnification by a Zircon Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX shall<br> first be asserted against the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement (including<br> the schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto) and the Escrow Agreement (as defined below).<br> With respect to any indemnification payment that includes Escrow Shares, the value of each<br> Escrow Share for purposes of determining the indemnification payment shall be $0.28. Any<br> indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this Article will be paid within<br> five (5) Business Days after the determination of such obligation in accordance with Section<br> 9.04 (and Zircon and Harmony will provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any<br> written instructions or other information or documents required by the Escrow Agent to do<br> so).
(b) At<br> the Closing, Zircon, Harmony and the Guarantors (as defined below) shall enter into an Escrow<br> Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”)<br> with a mutually agreeable escrow agent (together with any successor escrow agent, the “Escrow<br> Agent”), pursuant to which each of Christian Guilbaud, Kenneth Charles Grainger, Demin<br> Huang and Rui Zhu (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”)<br> shall, at the Closing, deliver, or cause to be delivered, an aggregate of 3,877,440 shares<br> of Harmony’s Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) to the Escrow Agent, to<br> be held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account, together with any interest and earnings<br> thereon, and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement<br> and the Escrow Agreement. In the event that Harmony becomes obligated to pay any indemnification<br> hereunder the Zircon Indemnitees, such indemnification shall be paid solely by transfer of<br> the applicable Escrow Shares to the applicable Zircon Indemnity, which transfer shall be<br> apportioned amongst the Guarantors pro rata based on the initial number of Escrow Shares<br> owned by each of the Guarantors, as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, and such transfer<br> shall be deemed full and complete satisfaction of the indemnity obligations of Harmony hereunder,<br> and any indemnification obligations of the Guarantors or Harmony shall be limited to the<br> transfer of the applicable Escrow Shares and in no event shall Harmony or any Guarantor have<br> any liability in excess thereof. In the event that the Escrow Shares cannot be transferred<br> to a Zircon Indemnity for any reason, then the applicable Escrow Shares shall be redeemed<br> by Harmony at a price of $0.0001 per share, and such redemption shall be deemed full and<br> complete satisfaction of the indemnity obligations of Harmony and the Guarantors hereunder.
--- ---
(c) The<br> Escrow Shares shall no longer be subject to any claim that is first made after the date which<br> is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however,<br> with respect to any claims made in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the Expiration<br> Date (including those that are revised or adjusted in accordance with this Article after<br> the Expiration Date) that remain unresolved as of the end of the Expiration Date (“Pending<br> Claims”), all or a portion of the Escrow Shares reasonably necessary to satisfy such<br> Pending Claims (as determined with respect to any indemnification claims based on the amount<br> of the indemnification claim included in the Claim Notice provided by a Zircon Indemnitee,<br> as it may be revised or adjusted in accordance with this Article IX) shall remain in<br> the Escrow Account until such time as such Pending Claim shall have been finally resolved<br> pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. After the Expiration Date, any Escrow Shares<br> remaining in the Escrow Account that are not subject to (i) Pending Claims or (ii) resolved<br> but unpaid claims in favor of any Zircon Indemnitees, shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent<br> to Guarantors, based on the respective number of Escrow Shares remaining as to each Guarantor,<br> after receipt by the Escrow Agent of joint written instructions by each of the Guarantors,<br> Harmony and Zircon. Promptly after the final resolution of all Pending Claims and the payment<br> of all obligations in connection therewith, the Escrow Agent shall disburse any Escrow Shares<br> remaining in the Escrow Account to the Guarantors, based on the respective number of Escrow<br> Shares remaining as to each Guarantor, upon receipt of joint written instruction by each<br> of the Guarantors, Harmony and Zircon to the Escrow Agent.

SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

WARRANTTO PURCHASE COMMON STOCKOFHarmony Energy Technologies Corp.

Warrant<br> No. A-_______ ______<br> Shares of Common Stock

This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, , or its assigns (“Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Harmony Energy Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), shares of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section (h) hereof or as otherwise provided herein, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Warrant Shares” and the exercise price per share of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise hereof as in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Exercise Price.”

This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”) is being issued pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement dated April 13, 2023, to which the Company and the Holder are parties (the “Engagement Agreement”), and will constitute payment of fees due to the Holder pursuant to the Engagement Agreement.

(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(1) This Warrant may be exercised for a period of ten (10) years from the date of issuance in whole or in part at any time or from time to time from sixty (60) calendar days after the date hereof up to and including April 14, 2033 (the “Exercise Period”); provided, however, that (A) if either such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of California are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, and (B) in the event of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company as an entirety, resulting in any distribution to the Company’s stockholders, prior to termination of the Exercise Period, or any reclassification or recapitalization or similar transaction (each of the foregoing, a “Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant commencing at such time through the termination of the Exercise Period into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Major Transaction or any record date established to determine the receipt of any payment or distribution in respect thereof. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, but not later than three (3) business days following the receipt of good and available funds unless exercised on a cashless basis as defined by Section (a)(2) hereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. As of the end of business on the date of receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock or other property issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares or other property shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.

| 1 |

| --- |

(2) At any time during the Exercise Period, the Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis by exchanging this Warrant, in whole or in part (a “Warrant Exchange”), into the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2), by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder’s intent to effect such exchange, the number of Warrant Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange occur (the “Notice of Exchange”). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the “Exchange Date”). Certificates for the shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if this Warrant should be exercised in part only, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the Exchange Date. In connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = Y (A - B)
A
where,
--- ---
X<br> = the<br> number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;
Y<br> = the<br> number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Notice of Exchange);
A<br> = the<br> Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a share of Common Stock as determined as of the date immediately preceding the date of the<br> Notice of Exchange, as applicable; and
B<br> = the<br> Exercise Price.

For purposes herein, “Fair Market Value” shall equal the value determined by the first of the following that applies: (a) If the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the daily average closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Exchange, (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a Trading Market and if the Common Stock traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTCQX or OTCQB Markets, the average closing price of the Common Stock on the OTCQX or OTCQB Markets for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Exchange, as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P.; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market or on the OTCQX or OTCQB Markets and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by the OTC Markets Group (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price of one share of Common Stock so reported, as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P.; or (d) in all other cases as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors with the concurrence of the Holder. For purposes herein, “Trading Market” means whichever of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, or the Nasdaq Stock Market (including the Nasdaq Capital Market), on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question.

(b) REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER. The Holder (i) is a “sophisticated investor,” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), (ii) understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of this Warrant, (iii) understands that the Warrants and/or the Warrant Shares may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or pledged, except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and under any applicable state securities law, or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, in all cases established to the satisfaction of the Company, and (v) the Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain such additional information that it believes is necessary.

(c) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times that this Warrant is exercisable by the Holder, reserve for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of the this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.

| 2 |

| --- |

(d) LIMITATIONS ON NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Purchase Form of Notice of Exchange, as applicable, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates (as defined below), and any other Persons (as defined below) acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section (d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise or Purchase Form, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section (d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within two business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, provided, further, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, on not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply until such 61^st^ day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The provisions of this Section (d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section (d) to correct this Section (d) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section (d) shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. For purposes herein (i) “Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with, the specified Person; “Control” means (a) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to vote 10% or more of the securities or other equity interests of a Person having ordinary voting power, (b) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, by contract or otherwise, or (c) being a director, officer, executor, trustee or fiduciary (or their equivalents) of a Person or a Person that controls such Person; and “Person” means a natural person, a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof

(e) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or strips representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock.

(f) LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

(g) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

| --- |

(h) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section (h) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock. Adjustment pursuant to this Section (h) shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(i) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDER.

Section 3.04 No Conflict With Other Instruments. The execution of this Agreement by Holder and the consummation of the Transactions by Holder will not result in the breach of any term or provision of, constitute a default under, or terminate, accelerate or modify the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which Holder is a party or to which any of their respective assets, properties or operations are subject.

Section 3.05 Governmental Authorization. Neither the execution, delivery nor performance of this Agreement by the Holder requires any consent, approval, license or other action by or in respect of, or registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Authority.

Upon delivery of the Assignment to the Company, the Company shall acquire good and valid title to such Warrants, free and clear of all Liens.

Section 3.07 Investment Representations.

(a) Investment<br> Purpose. Holder understands and agrees that the consummation of the Transactions including the delivery of the Shares to Holder<br> in exchange for the Warrants as contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable<br> state statutes and that the Shares are being acquired by Holder are being acquired by Holder for Holder’s own account and not<br> with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration<br> under the Securities Act.

(d) Reliance<br> on Exemptions. Holder understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to Holder in reliance upon specific exemptions from<br> the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and<br> accuracy of, and Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings<br> of Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Holder to acquire the<br> Shares.
(e) Information.<br> Holder and Holder’s advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations<br> of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares which have been requested by Holder or Holder’s advisors.<br> Holder and Holder’s advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Holder understands<br> that the investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk. Holder is not aware of any facts that may constitute a breach<br> of any of the Company’s representations and warranties made herein. Holder has received and has reviewed the SEC Reports.
| 6 |

Section 8.02 Indemnification of Holder. Provided that the Closing occurs, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law Holder and each of its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, attorneys, agents and permitted assignees (each a “Holder Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or sustained by any Holder Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto.

Section 8.03 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Holder Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party for indemnification with respect to actions by third-parties (with any references herein to an “Indemnified Party” being a reference to a Holder Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified Party, as applicable, and any references herein to an “Indemnifying Party” being a reference to the Company or Holder, as applicable):

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person<br> who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party<br> Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification<br> under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any<br> event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt<br> written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent<br> that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe<br> the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the<br> estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying<br> Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any<br> Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified<br> Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party<br> Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal<br> or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified<br> Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying<br> Party’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense<br> of the Indemnified Party.
| 12 |

| --- | | (b) | Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement<br> of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.03(b).<br> If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation<br> on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from<br> all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree<br> to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party<br> consents to such firm offer the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to<br> settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party objects to such offer, or does not provide a response to such firm offer<br> within ten days after its receipt of such notice (in which case the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to not have consented to such<br> offer), the Indemnified Party shall thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall continue to contest or defend<br> such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed<br> the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), the Indemnified<br> Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably<br> withheld or delayed). | | --- | --- | | (c) | Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct<br> Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof,<br> but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure<br> to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except<br> and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified<br> Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall<br> indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.<br> The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct<br> Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance<br> alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and<br> the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the<br> Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within<br> such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted liability for such claim, in which<br> case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject<br> to the provisions of this Agreement. | | (d) | Cooperation.<br> Upon a reasonable request made by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of<br> any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by<br> the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses<br> associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder. |

Section 8.04 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by this Article VIII for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Action shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying Party to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

Section 8.05 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third-party reimbursement actually received.

Section 8.06 Time Limit. The obligations of Holder and the Company under Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 respectively shall expire two (2) years from the Closing Date, except with respect to (i) an indemnification claim asserted in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII which remains unresolved, for which the obligation to indemnify shall continue until such claim is resolved; and (ii) resolved claims for which payment has not yet been paid to the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.07 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the any Indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 8.08 Exclusive Remedy. In the event that the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the Transactions for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties hereto or any other provision of this Agreement or arising out of the Transactions, except (i) with respect to any equitable remedy to which such Party may be entitled to with respect to any claims or causes of action arising from the breach of any covenants or agreement of a Party that is to be performed subsequent to the Closing Date, or (ii) with respect to a Party, an actual and intentional fraud with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and except as otherwise specified in this Article VIII, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any other Party hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate or other document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, arising under or based upon any applicable law.

Section 8.02 Indemnification of Creditor. Provided that the Closing occurs, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law Creditor and each of its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, attorneys, agents and permitted assignees (each a “Creditor Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or sustained by any Creditor Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto.

Section 8.03 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Creditor Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party for indemnification with respect to actions by third-parties (with any references herein to an “Indemnified Party” being a reference to a Creditor Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified Party, as applicable, and any references herein to an “Indemnifying Party” being a reference to the Company or Creditor, as applicable):

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of<br> any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate<br> of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”)<br> against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated<br> to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying<br> Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30)<br> calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give<br> such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification<br> obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or<br> defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the<br> Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence<br> thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that<br> has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have<br> the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume<br> the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the<br> Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good<br> faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any<br> Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action<br> as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining<br> to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified<br> Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel<br> selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof,<br> provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified<br> Party.
| 11 |

| --- | | (b) | Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying<br> Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written<br> consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.03(b). If a firm offer<br> is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial<br> or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form,<br> for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations<br> in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and<br> agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the<br> Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party consents to such firm offer the Indemnifying<br> Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle<br> such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party objects to such offer, or does not provide<br> a response to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice (in which<br> case the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to not have consented to such offer), the Indemnified<br> Party shall thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall continue to<br> contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying<br> Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer.<br> If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), the Indemnified<br> Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party<br> (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). | | --- | --- | | (c) | Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result<br> from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified<br> Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any<br> event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware<br> of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however,<br> relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the<br> extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.<br> Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail,<br> shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated<br> amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified<br> Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such<br> notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the<br> Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance<br> alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable<br> in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s<br> investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any<br> of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so<br> respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed<br> to have accepted liability for such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free<br> to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject<br> to the provisions of this Agreement. | | --- | --- | | (d) | Cooperation.<br> Upon a reasonable request made by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking<br> indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the<br> Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying<br> Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim.<br> Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder. | | --- | --- |

| 2 |

| --- | | 3. | Acceptance<br> by Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts and agrees to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that: | | --- | --- | | (a) | The<br> Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and may assume that any person who has been designated<br> by any Transaction Party to give any written instructions, notice or receipt, or make any statements in connection with the provisions<br> hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make inquiry as to the genuineness, accuracy or<br> validity of any statements or instructions or any signatures on statements or instructions. The names and true signatures of each<br> individual authorized to act singly on behalf of each Transaction Party are set forth on the signature pages of such Transaction<br> Parties. Each Transaction Party may each remove or add one or more of its authorized signers stated on such signature pages by notifying<br> the Escrow Agent of such change in accordance with this Agreement, which notice shall include the true signature for any new authorized<br> signatories. | | --- | --- | | (b) | The<br> Escrow Agent may act relative hereto in reliance upon advice of counsel in reference to any matter connected herewith. The Escrow<br> Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or law, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused<br> by its willful misconduct or gross negligence. | | (c) | The<br> Transaction Parties agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities,<br> damages, suits, demands, judgments or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) claimed against or<br> incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or related, directly or indirectly, to this Escrow Agreement unless caused by the Escrow<br> Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. | | (d) | In<br> the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to (i)<br> refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Shares until it shall be directed otherwise by a court of competent<br> jurisdiction, or (ii) deliver the Escrow Shares to a court of competent jurisdiction. | | (e) | The<br> Escrow Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation to interpret or enforce the terms of any agreement other than Escrow<br> Agent’s obligations hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to make a request that any monies or other instruments<br> be delivered to the Escrow Agent, it being agreed that the sole duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be to the extent<br> not prohibited by applicable law to accept the Escrow Shares and to disburse or refrain from disbursing the Escrow Shares as stated<br> above. | | 4. | Resignation<br> and Termination of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written<br> notice of such resignation to each Transaction Party. Upon providing such notice, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation<br> hereunder except to hold as depository the Escrow Shares that it receives until the end of such thirty (30)-day period. In such event,<br> the Escrow Agent shall not take any action until the Transaction Parties have jointly designated a banking corporation, trust company,<br> attorney or other person as successor. Upon receipt of such written designation signed by each of the Transaction Parties, the Escrow<br> Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Shares to such successor and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. If such<br> instructions are not received within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such resignation, then the Escrow Agent may<br> deposit the Escrow Shares held by it pursuant to this Agreement with a clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction pending the appointment<br> of a successor. In either case provided for in this section, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released<br> from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Shares. | | --- | --- |

| 3 |

| --- | | 5. | Termination.<br> The Transaction Parties may, together, terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder upon written notice specifying the<br> date upon which such termination shall take effect, which date shall be at least thirty (30) days from the date of such notice. In<br> the event of such termination, the Transaction Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of such notice, jointly appoint a successor<br> escrow agent and the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of written instructions signed by each of the Transaction Parties, turn over<br> to such successor escrow agent all of the Escrow Shares; provided, however, that if Transaction Parties fail to appoint a successor<br> escrow agent within such thirty (30) day period, such termination notice shall be null and void and the Escrow Agent shall continue<br> to be bound by all of the provisions hereof. Upon receipt of the Escrow Shares, the successor escrow agent shall become the escrow<br> agent hereunder and shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof and Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations<br> and released from all liability thereafter arising with respect to the Escrow Shares and under this Agreement. | | --- | --- | | 6. | Compensation.<br> The Escrow Agent shall be entitled, for the duties to be performed by it hereunder, to a fee of $2,500.00, which fee shall be paid<br> upon execution of this Agreement by the Transaction Parties. In addition, Harmony shall be obligated to reimburse Escrow Agent for<br> all fees, costs and expenses incurred or that become due in connection with this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’<br> fees. Neither the modification, cancellation, termination or rescission of this Agreement nor the resignation or termination of the<br> Escrow Agent shall affect the right of the Escrow Agent to retain the amount of any fee which has been paid, or to be reimbursed<br> or paid any amount which has been incurred or becomes due, prior to the effective date of any such modification, cancellation, termination,<br> resignation or rescission. To the extent the Escrow Agent has incurred any such expenses, or any such fee becomes due, prior to any<br> disbursements hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall advise the Transaction Parties that the Escrow Agent shall retain the funds from<br> such disbursement and shall thereafter have the right to retain such funds. | | 7. | Notices.<br> All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall<br> be deemed to have been duly given if sent by hand-delivery, by facsimile (followed by first-class mail), by nationally recognized<br> overnight courier service or by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by email with return receipt requested,<br> and if to Harmony or Zircon, then to the addresses for the Harmony or Zircon as set forth in the Merger Agreement; and if to any<br> of the Guarantors, to: |

ZIRCONCORPORATION


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


YEARSENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021


INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors Zircon Corporation Campbell, California

We have audited the financial statements of Zircon Corporation, which comprise the balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zircon Corporation as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basisfor Opinion


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Zircon Corporation and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilitiesof Management for the Financial Statements


Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Zircon Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise<br> professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify<br> and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform<br> audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and<br> disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain<br> an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,<br> but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Zircon Corporation’s internal control. Accordingly,<br> no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate<br> the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as<br> well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude<br> whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Zircon<br> Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

ZIRCONCORPORATION

Notesto the Financial Statements

March 31, 2022 and 2021

Note1 - Nature of operations


Zircon Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in California in 1977. The Company is principally engaged in the design and manufacture of electronic-based consumer hardware and sells its products primarily to retail outlets located throughout the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe. The Company operates from its headquarters located in Campbell, California and an affiliate facility located in Ensenada, Mexico. The Company’s operations are supported by an affiliated entity located in the United Kingdom.

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). On this basis, revenue and the related assets are recognized when services are performed and products are sold, and expenses and related liabilities are recorded when the obligation is incurred.

Revenuesfrom contracts with customers


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).

Performanceobligations

The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of products to customers. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue at the time the customer obtains the rights to the product, which is generally when goods are shipped. As a result, the majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time.

The Company’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer goods that have one or multiple performance obligations. Generally, the multiple performance obligations are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and provide benefits to the customers on their own. Therefore, such performance obligations are considered to be distinct and are accounted for as a separate unit of account. These performance obligations are substantially the same and are transferred to the customer in the same pattern. The Company considers these performance obligations to be a series of distinct goods and accounts for them as one single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a good to the customer.

Variableconsideration

The structure of the Company’s contracts allows for variable consideration including volume discounts and rights of return. The liability for sales returns, including the impact of the related cost, is immaterial to the transaction price. The Company offers volume discounts to a limited number of qualifying customers which allow for discounts that are applied to all purchases under the agreement on a retrospective basis. Management has estimated the impact of the volume discounts from annual contracts approximates $266,000 for each of the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These amounts were determined to be insignificant to total sales.

Significantfinancing component

Contracts with customers do not contain significant financing components based on the typical period of time between performance of services and collection of consideration.

Warranty

The Company provides an assurance warranty that its products and the functionalities work as intended and comply with defined specifications. The Company does not provide an extended service warranty to its customers. The cost associated with the assurance warranty is insignificant.

Notesto the Financial Statements

March 31, 2022 and 2021

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Accounts receivable

The Company provides credit without requiring collateral, in the normal course of business, to credit- worthy customers as determined by management’s review of references and credit reports. Bad debts are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is adjusted to provide a specific and general reserve for estimated uncollectible accounts, which is based on management’s judgment.

Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Based on management’s assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, management believes that losses on balances outstanding will not exceed the allowance.

The following represents the Company’s opening and ending balances of accounts receivable from contracts with customers:

April 1, March 31, March 31,
2020 2021 2022
Accounts receivable, net of<br> discounts $ 6,990,175 $ 10,895,341 $ 7,588,818

Inventory


Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Labor and overhead associated with inventory purchases are estimated and capitalized in inventory.

Property,equipment, depreciation and amortization


Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease terms or estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation is computed using either the units of production method or declining-balance method over the following estimated useful lives of the respective assets:

Patents 14<br> - 20 years
Leasehold<br> improvements 7<br> - 10 years
Computer<br> equipment 5<br> years
Manufacturing<br> equipment 3 - 5 years
Furniture and<br> office equipment 7 years
Vehicles 5 years

Intangibleassets


Included in intangible assets are the cost of internally developed and purchased patents as well as the cost of the exclusivity rights and licenses secured by the Company for certain technology. The cost of issued patents is comprised of legal and filing fees. The intangible assets are recorded at cost on the balance sheet and adjusted for amortization, abandonments, and impairments (see Note 6). Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years. Amortization for filed patents not yet issued will begin upon the date of issuance.

Notesto the Financial Statements

March 31, 2022 and 2021

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Development cost


The Company incurs cost associated with development of software technologies and applications. The applications are considered internal-use software as the Company does not plan to license their use for a fee. The company capitalizes the eligible internal and external cost incurred in the development stage and amortizes the cost over 40 months. As of March 31, 2022, included in the fixed assets is approximately $429,000 of unamortized development cost, which is expected to be amortized over the remaining 15 months. Amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 approximated

$332,000.

Taxeson income


The Company has elected to be an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The shareholders are taxed individually for federal and California income tax purposes on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company is taxed by the State of California as an S Corporation at a rate of 1.5% based on its taxable income or $800, whichever is greater.

In 2021, California established the Small Business Relief Act, which allows qualified pass-through entities that file a California tax return to elect to pay and deduct a pass-through entity tax of 9.3% on qualified net income. Although the Company may deduct this payment to calculate its corporate tax expense, this tax payment is made on behalf of the shareholders and for financial reporting purposes is treated as an equity transaction. Included in distributions is approximately $55,000 that will be deducted as an expense for federal income tax purposes in 2021.

The Company adopted the accounting standard related to uncertainties in income taxes. The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various tax authorities and are open to examination by a major tax jurisdiction back to 2018. Management believes estimates related to income tax uncertainties are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. Any interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense.

Advertisingand promotion


The Company participates in co-operative advertising programs for some of its customers and expenses related to these programs are accrued based on management’s estimates. Advertising and promotion expenses were $716,951 and $391,872 for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Useof estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence reserve, allocation of overhead to inventory, estimated future benefit and fair value of intangible assets, accrued rebates and advertising allowances, useful lives and depreciation methods of property and equipment, uncertain tax positions and technological feasibility of internally developed computer software.

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Fair value


The Company has adopted fair value accounting guidance for all applicable assets and liabilities to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and enhance fair value measurement disclosure. When measuring fair value, an entity must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Management measures intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis using internally developed assumptions about the market as there is no market activity available. All carrying amounts of other applicable assets and liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet approximate fair value.

Newaccounting pronouncements not yet adopted


In 2016 and through subsequent amendments, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for reporting leases, which requires an entity that is a lessee to classify leases as either finance or operating and to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases that have a term of greater than 12 months. Leases of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning with April 1, 2022, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for the calendar year beginning April 1, 2023. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.

Other accounting pronouncements that have been enacted but not yet implemented are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Accountingfor commonly controlled entities


The Company adopted a private company accounting alternative to applying the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities subsections of the FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall to entities under common control. The private company accounting alternative applies only to legal entities that are not public business entities and when the reporting entity does not have a controlling financial (voting) interest. As such, the financial results of the commonly controlled companies Zircon de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Zircon Corporation Limited, variable interest entities, have not been consolidated with the Company in these financial statements. See Note 10 for additional information regarding these affiliated companies.

Subsequentevents


In preparing its financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through June 24, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

In July 2015, the Company entered into a term loan with a bank for $2,000,000 to finance the growth of the business and inventory. Under the agreement, the Company paid approximately $33,000 in monthly principal payments plus interest. The note was repaid in July 2020 and was secured by the Company’s assets. Interest paid on the loan during the year end March 31, 2021 was immaterial.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a term loan with a bank for $1,750,000 to finance the growth of the business and inventory.

Borrowings bear interest at either a fixed rate (3.5% per annum in excess of LIBOR rate) or variable rate (0.25% in excess of Reference Rate) as selected by management. The Company executed an interest- rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate to 6.56% fixed interest rate for the full term of the note. The fair value of the interest-rate swap is not material to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 and has not been recorded.

Note8 - Notes payable (continued)


In May 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,367,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) issued by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provided for loans to qualifying businesses in amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business for the defined qualifying time-period. The loan and accrued interest are forgivable after the applicable time period in the CARES Act as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. In December 2020, the Company was informed that the PPP loan in the amount of $1,364,213 and the related accrued interest was forgiven by the SBA. The remaining balance of $2,787 that was not forgiven by SBA was repaid by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2021. Forgiveness of the loan is recognized as other income during the year ended March 31, 2021.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company obtained a $10,000 grant under Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program. The loan proceeds from this grant were interest free and did not require repayment. The Company included the grant proceeds in other income on the income statement during the year ended March 31, 2021.

Note10 - Related party transactions (continued)


Under the terms of the agreement, the Company provides materials, technical assistance, and expertise to the Contractor, and the Contractor assembles certain of the Company’s products. The Company paid the Contractor for costs incurred in manufacturing the Company’s products, as defined in the contract, plus a profit percentage of approximately 5% of actual cost during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Total payments including the profit percentage amounted to $2,805,864 and $2,933,484 for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a payable to the Contractor of approximately $85,000 and $346,000, respectively.

The Company has a note payable to the Contractor. The note was established for the purpose of reducing the payable balance and to satisfy the Company’s lender’s requirements. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company increased the borrowings by $400,000 to reduce the payable balance and to control the timing of the expected cash payments. The outstanding loan balance at March 31, 2022 was at $800,000. The note bears interest at the current Federal funds rate not to exceed 5% and is limited to an increase of no more than 2% annually. The entire principal balance is due and payable in December 2024 and is subordinated to the line of credit agreement the Company has with the bank.

In September 2017, an affiliated company, Zircon Corporation Limited, was established in the United Kingdom to facilitate the sale of the Company’s products to European customers and operations began during the year ended March 31, 2019. The ownership structure of the affiliate is similar to the ownership of the Company. The Company pays certain administrative and selling expenses of the affiliate. During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded sales to the affiliate of approximately $25,000 and $55,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a receivable from the affiliate of approximately $200,000 and $175,000, respectively.

Note11 - Notes payable to Stauss Family Administrative Trust


The Company has notes payable to the Stauss Family Administrative Trust to repay loans made to the Company. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company management made a one time unscheduled payment of $247,755. The remaining principal balance of $907,420 is due and payable in December 2024. Interest accrued at 5.5% per annum is paid quarterly and included in accrued expenses. The note is subordinated to the line of credit payable to the bank and no payment is to be made on the note without prior approval from the bank.

Note12 - Income taxes and federal tax deposit


The state franchise tax expense in the statements of income consists of the current state franchise taxes. Franchise tax expense differs from the amount calculated using statutory rates due to the application of research and development credits to the year’s tax liability. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had research and development tax credit carryovers of approximately $7,400 and $55,000, respectively. The research and development tax credit is carried forward indefinitely to apply to future state franchise taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, deferred income taxes are insignificant.

March 31, 2022 and 2021

Note12 - Income taxes and federal tax deposit (continued)


The Company has elected to use a fiscal year-end different than the year-end for the shareholders, which triggers a federal tax deposit requirement with the Internal Revenue Service. This deposit will be refunded in the event of liquidation or change of fiscal year-end to December 31. Management believes the Company has no obligation to increase the federal deposit amount at March 31, 2022.

Note13 - Profit sharing and 401(k) plan


The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan for all eligible employees. Contributions to the profit sharing plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors. There were no profit sharing contributions made for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

All eligible employees are also allowed to participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company’s contributions to the plan are based on a specified percentage of each participant’s eligible contribution, decided annually by the Board of Directors, as defined in the plan document. Company contributions of $51,890 and $51,889 were made to the plan for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note14 - Lease commitments


The Company’s corporate headquarters in Campbell, California are leased from the trust of one of its former shareholders for approximately $19,000 per month under a lease expiring in December 2022. The lease requires the Company to pay utilities, maintenance and real estate taxes. Rent expense was $230,340 for each of the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company leases office equipment through a lease that expires in June 2026 and requires monthly lease payments of $987 for a period of five years. The total lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $8,883.

The Company leases a vehicle through a lease that expires in July 2024 and requires monthly lease payments of $448 for a period of three years. The total lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $4,082.

Interest $ 300,246 $ 347,216
California franchise taxes $ 25,228 $ 800

Forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loan of $1,364,213 and Economic Injury Disaster loan of $10,000 were non-cash financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note16 - Concentrations, commitments and contingencies


During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company maintained deposits in a single bank that exceeded the federal insured deposit limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

During each the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company generated approximately 69% of its total revenue from two customers, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to approximately 69% and 71% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The majority of the Company’s inventory is manufactured by third party manufacturers located in foreign countries. During each of the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 25% and 35%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases were from one contract manufacturer. It is possible that unforeseen changes in the business of these manufacturers could disrupt the Company’s inventory supply, and the Company has purchased business interruption insurance to mitigate this risk.

The Company is engaged in legal proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. While the outcome of claims, lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that any such liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note17 - Economic risks and uncertainties


Various uncertainties exist in the current global, economic, and political environment including continued uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, disrupted supply chain, staff shortages, and current geopolitical conflicts. The extent of the impact of these uncertainties on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic outbreak, the impact on the Company’s customers, employees, and general operations, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Note1 - Nature of operations.

ZIRCONCORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements December, 2022 and 2021

Zircon Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in California in 1977. The Company is principally engaged in the design and manufacture of electronic-based consumer hardware and sells its products primarily to retail outlets located throughout the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe. The Company operates from its headquarters located in Campbell, California and an affiliate facility located in Ensenada, Mexico. The Company’s operations are supported by an affiliated entity located in the United Kingdom.

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). On this basis, revenue and the related assets are recognized when services are performed and products are sold, and expenses and related liabilities are recorded when the obligation is incurred.

The acquisition of a private operating company by a non-operating public corporation typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective voting and operating control of the combined company. The Company considers a public reverse acquisition to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the transaction is a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the non-operating corporation accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting will be similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded.

Revenuesfrom contracts with customers

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).

Performanceobligations

The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of products to customers. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue at the time the customer obtains the rights to the product, which is generally when goods are shipped. As a result, the majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time.

The Company’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer goods that have one or multiple performance obligations. Generally, the multiple performance obligations are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and provide benefits to the customers on their own. Therefore, such performance obligations are considered to be distinct and are accounted for as a separate unit of account. These performance obligations are substantially the same and are transferred to the customer in the same pattern. The Company considers these performance obligations to be a series of distinct goods and accounts for them as one single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a good to the customer.

Variableconsideration

The structure of the Company’s contracts allows for variable consideration including volume discounts and rights of return. The liability for sales returns, including the impact of the related cost, is immaterial to the transaction price. The Company offers volume discounts to a limited number of qualifying customers which allow for discounts that are applied to all purchases under the agreement on a retrospective basis. Management has estimated the impact of the volume discounts from annual contracts approximates $175,000 for each of the 9-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. These amounts were determined to be insignificant to total sales.


Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenuesfrom contracts with customers (continued)

Significantfinancing component

Contracts with customers do not contain significant financing components based on the typical period of time between the performance of services the and collection of consideration.

Warranty

The Company provides an assurance warranty that its products and the functionalities work as intended and comply with defined specifications. The Company does not provide an extended service warranty to its customers. The cost associated with the assurance warranty is insignificant.

Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Accountsreceivable

The Company provides credit without requiring collateral, in the normal course of business, to credit- worthy customers as determined by management’s review of references and credit reports. Bad debts are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is adjusted to provide a specific and general reserve for estimated uncollectible accounts, which is based on management’s judgment. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Based on management’s assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, management believes that losses on balances outstanding will not exceed the allowance.

The following represents the Company’s opening and ending balances of accounts receivable from contracts with customers:

April 1, December 31, December 31,
2021 2021 2022
Accounts receivable, net of discounts $ 10,795,341 $ 8,119,579 $ 7,342,873

Inventory


Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Labor and overhead associated with inventory purchases are estimated and capitalized in inventory.

Nine Months Ending
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Finished goods $ 9,214,298 $ 7,601,815
Raw materials and Parts 2,925,574 3,712,729
Work in process 1,237,369 1,184,989
Total Inventory $ 13,377,241 $ 12,499,533

Property,equipment, depreciation and amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease terms or estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation is computed using either the units of production method or declining-balance method over the following estimated useful lives of the respective assets:

Patents 14 - 20 years
Leasehold improvements 7 – 10 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Manufacturing equipment 3 – 5 years
Furniture and office equipment 7 years
Vehicles 5 years

Intangibleassets


Included in intangible assets are the cost of internally developed and purchased patents as well as the cost of the exclusivity rights and licenses secured by the Company for certain technology. The cost of issued patents is comprised of legal and filing fees. The intangible assets are recorded at cost on the balance sheet and adjusted for amortization, abandonments, and impairments (see Note 6). Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years. Amortization for filed patents not yet issued will begin upon the date of issuance.


Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Developmentcost

The Company incurs costs associated with the development of software technologies and applications. The applications are considered internal-use software as the Company does not plan to license their use for a fee. The company capitalizes the eligible internal and external costs incurred in the development stage and amortizes the cost over 40 months. As of December, 2022, included in the fixed assets is approximately $147,622 of unamortized development cost, which is expected to be amortized over the remaining 15 months. Amortization expenses for the 9 month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are approximately $281,190.

Taxeson income

The Company has elected to be an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The shareholders are taxed individually for federal and California income tax purposes on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company is taxed by the State of California as an S Corporation at a rate of 1.5% based on its taxable income or $800, whichever is greater.

In 2021, California established the Small Business Relief Act, which allows qualified pass-through entities that file a California tax return to elect to pay and deduct a pass-through entity tax of 9.3% on qualified net income. Although the Company may deduct this payment to calculate its corporate tax expense, this tax payment is made on behalf of the shareholders and for financial reporting purposes is treated as an equity transaction. Included in distributions is approximately $25,000 that will be deducted as an expense for federal income tax purposes in 2022.

In April 2022, the Company made a further deposit to the Franchise Tax Board of $7,100 that was treated as an equity distribution. In January 2023, the Franchise Tax Board issues a payment refund of $89,125 against excess prior estimated tax payments. The result of the payment will be reflected as income of $10,000.

The Company adopted the accounting standard related to uncertainties in income taxes. The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various tax authorities and are open to examination by a major tax jurisdiction back to 2018. Management believes estimates related to income tax uncertainties are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. Any interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense.

Advertisingand promotion

The Company participates in co-operative advertising programs for some of its customers and expenses related to these programs are accrued based on management’s estimates. Co-op advertising and promotion expenses were $958,374 and $1,106,977 for the 9 month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Useof estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence reserve, allocation of overhead to inventory, estimated future benefit and fair value of intangible assets, accrued rebates and advertising allowances, useful lives and depreciation methods of property and equipment, uncertain tax positions and technological feasibility of internally developed computer software. It is likely that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.


Note2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fairvalue

The Company has adopted fair value accounting guidance for all applicable assets and liabilities to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and enhance fair value measurement disclosure. When measuring fair value, an entity must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Management measures intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis using internally developed assumptions about the market as there is no market activity available. All carrying amounts of other applicable assets and liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet approximate fair value.

Newaccounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In 2016 and through subsequent amendments, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for reporting leases, which requires an entity that is a lessee to classify leases as either finance or operating and to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases that have a term of greater than 12 months. Leases of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning with April 1, 2022, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for the calendar year beginning April 1, 2023. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.

Other accounting pronouncements that have been enacted but not yet implemented are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


Accountingfor commonly controlled entities

The Company adopted a private company accounting alternative to applying the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities subsections of the FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall to entities under common control. The private company accounting alternative applies only to legal entities that are not public business entities and when the reporting entity does not have a controlling financial (voting) interest. As such, the financial results of the commonly controlled companies Zircon de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Zircon Corporation Limited, variable interest entities, have not been consolidated with the Company in these financial statements. See Note 10 for additional information regarding these affiliated companies.

Subsequentevents

In preparing its financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 20, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.


Note3 - Note receivable from shareholder

In April 2021, the Company advanced $50,000 to a shareholder and recorded a note receivable. The note receivable principal and the interest were repaid subsequent to March 31, 2022. The note is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet due to the short-term repayment period.
