MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
The independent registered public accounting firm's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
This annual report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," 'should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars ($) except as otherwise indicated and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of this annual report.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
Plan of Operation
The Company's plan of operation is to obtain debt or equity finance to meet our ongoing operating expenses and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders.
The Company will need substantial additional capital to support its budget. The Company has had no revenues. The Company has no committed source for any funds as of date hereof. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, the Company may not be able to carry out its business plan, and although it has begun to achieve sales and royalty income as a subsequent event, it could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
The Company may borrow money to finance its future operations, although it does not currently contemplate doing so. Any such borrowing will increase the risk of loss to the investor in the event the Company is unsuccessful in repaying such loans.
Funding requirements
We expect our research, product launch and product development and general and administrative expenses and our operating losses will increase in the future as we complete final modifications and any potential future product candidates that we may develop through our studies. Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, changes in the outcome of any factors with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate in addition to the existing expenses associated with operating as a growing public company. Our future capital requirements, both short- and long-term, will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | the rate of progress in the development of test results and our potential future product candidates, if any; |
| ● | the scope, progress, results and costs of non-clinical studies, preclinical development, and laboratory testing for other types of worms in animals and any potential future product candidates and associated development programs; |
| ● | the number and scope of preclinical studies trials that we pursue; |
| ● | the costs, timing, and outcomes of seeking and obtaining approvals by trade associations, including the potential for such authorities to require that we perform more preclinical studies or clinical trials than those that we currently expect or for such authorities to change their requirements on studies that had previously been contemplated; |
| ● | our ability to establish licensing or collaboration agreements or other strategic agreements; |
| ● | the achievement of milestones or other developments under any licensing or collaboration agreements; |
| ● | the extent to which we are obligated to reimburse, or entitled to reimbursement of, clinical trial costs under any license or collaboration agreements; |
| ● | the costs to establish, maintain, expand, enforce, and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with licensing, preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patents or other intellectual property rights; |
| ● | the costs associated with successfully defending against any claims by third parties that we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any intellectual property of any such third party; |
| ● | the costs of acquiring, licensing, or investing in additional businesses, products, product candidates, and technologies that we may identify; |
| ● | the costs to manufacture or to have manufactured a sufficient, reliable, timely, and affordable supply of equipment that can be used in clinical trials and for commercial launch; |
| ● | the costs of commercializing product candidates, if approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; |
| ● | the amount of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval; |
| ● | the costs of building or contracting sales, marketing, and/or distribution capabilities, systems, and internal infrastructure for any product candidate that receives marketing approval; |
| ● | the impact of competitors' product candidates and technological advances and other market developments; |
| ● | the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel; and |
| ● | the size of the markets and degree of market acceptance of any product candidates, including product pricing, product coverage, and the adequacy of reimbursement by third-party payors. |
Our business plans may change in the future and we will continue to require additional capital to meet the needs of our operating expenses. See the section titled "Risk factors-Risks related to our limited operating history, financial condition and need for additional capital."
We have limited capital and we will need to raise additional capital in order to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for first few months of fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 and beyond. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient enough product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we would be required to delay, scale back or discontinue our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
From our inception through the date of this filing, we have historically financed our operations principally through the issuance and sale of common stock.
We have incurred significant net operating losses and negative cash flows since our inception. Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, establishing licensing, building our proprietary platform technologies, developing marketing plans, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, conducting research, , establishing arrangements with third parties for the manufacture of hardware we use and related raw materials, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Our ability to generate sufficient product revenue to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on the successful development, and eventual commercialization of our heartworm tests and any other potential future product candidates, which we expect may take a number of years to reach widespread adoption if ever.
For the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported net losses of $718,251 and $136,197, respectively. Our net losses in fiscal year 2025 have resulted principally from pre-operating costs, public entity costs and costs incurred in our research and development activities whereas our prior year had greater due diligence fees as we were adjusting to unexpected delays in commencing our plans. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,255,464,and we had cash and cash equivalents of $17,828.
We expect to continue to incur significant net operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as we:
| ● | continue to conduct our ongoing testing of heartworm as well as initiate and complete studies of mold on food and related mycotoxins; |
| ● | manufacture, or have manufactured, clinical and commercial supplies of our breath capture devices; |
| ● | attract, hire and retain additional clinical, scientific, and management personnel; |
| ● | implement operational, financial, and management information systems; |
| ● | add quality control, quality assurance, legal, compliance, and other groups to support our operations; |
| ● | obtain, maintain, protect, expand and enforce our intellectual property portfolio, including intellectual property obtained through license agreements; |
| ● | defend against any claims by third parties that we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any intellectual property of any such third party; |
| ● | make royalty, milestone or other payments under current, and any future, license or collaboration agreements; |
| ● | establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure, either ourselves or in partnership with others, to commercialize heartworm, lyme disease, and mold on food; |
| ● | potentially experience any delays, challenges, or other issues associated with other potential products we may discover from our customer database, and |
| ● | incur additional legal, accounting, investor relations and other general and administrative expenses associated with expanding operations as a public company. |
Our net operating losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending upon the timing of our expenditures on research and development activities. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
As a result, we will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with the proceeds from the issuance and sale of our Common Stock. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales since our inception. We do not expect to generate revenue from any product candidates that we develop until we obtain regulatory approval for one or more of such product candidates and commercialize our products or enter into collaboration arrangements with third parties. Until we can generate sufficient product revenue to finance our cash requirements, if ever, we expect to fund our operations through equity offerings or debt financings, credit or loan facilities, potentially other capital resources, or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development or commercialization of heartworm and one or more potential future product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research and development of product candidates, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate revenue from product sales, we may not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

Revenue
We did not recognize any revenue during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as our technology was not market ready during these periods.
Significant items affecting net income (loss) other than time differential are noted below.
Research and Development (R&D) is defined as creative and systematic work to increase the stock of knowledge and devise new applications for existing knowledge to create new or improved products, processes, or services. It includes the costs of basic research (in our case, acquiring new knowledge of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in breathprints for heartworm in dogs), applied research (in our case, solving the specific problem of determining what relevant VOCs could be economically measured in breathprints, including early detection and staging, with confidence), and development (creating new products or processes that will allow us to successfully use the research findings in the marketplace). The costs are typically expensed as incurred on the income statement.
Direct Components of R&D
Examples of activities included in R&D we incurred are the following:
Research
| ● | Laboratory research to discover new knowledge. |
Applied Research
| ● | Conceptual formulation and design of product alternatives |
| ● | Testing to evaluate product or process alternative |
Development
| ● | Design, construction, and testing of pre-production prototypes and Costs for software development |
Indirect components of R & D included
| ● | We incurred $ of these indirect costs that are clearly related to the R&D activities. Account for facility expenses, such as rent and utilities for research spaces. |
| ● | Indirect labor Include administrative support costs that directly benefit research projects. |
During the year ended September 30, 2025, we incurred total research and development expenses of $382,832, which was predominately due to the proportion of management time associated with finalizing the first two phases of our research and evaluating additional opportunities based on our findings. During the year ended September 30, 2024, we incurred expenses of $23,376, which was predominately due to set up costs for future research testing.
Operating expenses include facilities costs, license fees, public entity and investor relations, general office expenditures, and other miscellaneous costs. . Operating expenses incurred related primarily to personnel costs of officers and consultants, as well as the activities necessary to support corporate and shareholder duties and are detailed in the above table. For the year ended September 30, 2025, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $335,419as compared to $112,821 for the fiscal year 2024 primarily due to the changing nature of much of our operation to research and the costs of raising capital supporting this aspect of our business plan including Public entity costs and professional fees increasing due to costs from a registration of our securities.
The components of Operating Costs are as follows:
General and Administrative Expenses comprising general office expenditures fees of $13,472 during the year ended September 30, 2025. During the year ended September 30, 2024, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $25,063,We reemphasized commencing research operations as opposed to due diligence work and we made advances on how to approach operations from earlier periods.
Professional Fees for fiscal 2025 were $24,250, having increased from $10,500 in fiscal year 2025 due to the increase in audit and financial review costs as our operations became more significant, as also discussed in Item 14.
Public entity costs are from costs associated with being a public entity such as investor relations, securities filings, transfer agent and Edgarization costs and increased to $79,665 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 from $23,753 for the year ended September 30, 2024. This increase comprised of costs relating to a registration statement in fiscal in May 2025.
Other operating expenses include license fees, personnel costs from operations, and other miscellaneous costs. Costs also increased to $218,032 in fiscal year 2025 as compared to $53,504 in the fiscal year September 30, 2024 primarily due to costs due to adding new personnel including one-time settlement charges with a former consultant and a $180,000 upfront cost from our entering into a consulting and media relations contract for the year ended September 30, 2025.
Operating Loss
During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred an operating loss of $718,251and $136,197, respectively,due to the factors discussed above.
Interest and Other Income (Expenses) Net
During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we did recognize any interest any other income (expenses), net.
Loss before Income Tax
During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $718,251and $136,197, respectively, due to the factors discussed above.
Provision for Income Tax
No provision for income taxes was recorded during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as we incurred taxable losses in both periods.
Net Loss
During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred net losses of $718,251and $136,197, respectively, due to the factors discussed above
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We have not yet commercialized our planned products and we do not expect to generate revenue from product sales adequate enough to cover operations for at least a year, if at all. We have financed our operations primarily through the issuance and sale of our Common Stock. For the year ended September 30, 2025, we received cash proceeds of $754,001 from sales of our Stock, which we used to buy a VOCAM Inventory Unit for $55,115 and for other product development cost of $120,333,and to fund operations of which used net cash of $560,740. On September 30, 2025, we liquid current assets of $17,828 (cash), total liabilities of $11,609, resulting in a liquid working capital surplu of $6,219 on September 30, 2025. The working capital deficits were the result of net losses. Consequently, we are now dependent on raising additional equity and/or debt to meet our ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary equity and/or debt that we will need to fund our ongoing operating expenses.
It is our current intention to seek to raise debt and/or equity financing to meet ongoing operating expenses and develop our operations and pursue opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.
Future losses are likely to occur as, until we are able to fund our business plan and pursue opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders, we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses.
As a result of these, among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have had no revenue generating operations from which we can internally generate funds. To date, our ongoing operations have been financed by advances from related parties. While we have begun to generate revenue, it is not enough to cover our operating costs and research. We believe we will be able to secure additional financings in the future; we cannot predict the size or pricing of any such financings.
Unless we successfully transform operations through our business plan, we expect that the Company will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund our current work plan is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. These amounts may increase as we intensify our product development and product launches commence into an operation for the company going forward.
We currently have no further material funding commitments or arrangements for additional financing at this time and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. There is significant uncertainty whether we will be able to secure any additional financing in the current equity or debt markets. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any proposed equity or debt financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise. Management intends to pursue funding sources of both debt and equity financing, including but not limited to the issuance of equity securities in the form of Common Shares, warrants, subscription receipts, or any combination thereof in units of the Company pursuant to private placements to accredited investors or pursuant to equity lines of credit or public offerings in the form of underwritten/brokered offerings, at-the-market offerings, registered direct offerings, or other forms of equity financing and public or private issuances of debt securities including secured and unsecured convertible debt instruments or secured debt project financing. Management does not currently know the terms pursuant to which such financings may be completed in the future, but any such financings will be negotiated at arm's-length. Future financings involving the issuance of equity securities or derivatives thereof will likely be completed at a discount to the then-current market price of the Company's securities and will likely be dilutive to current shareholders.
Based on the conditions described within, management has concluded and the audit opinion and notes that accompany our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, disclose that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue in business. The financial statements included in this Registration have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception. We believe that the going concern uncertainty cannot be alleviated with confidence until the Company has entered into a business climate where funding of its planned ongoing operating activities is secured.
Our primary sources and uses of cash for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
| Year Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash (used) in operating activities | $ | (560,740 | ) | $ | (87,378 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | 175,448 | - | ||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 754,001 | 86,978 | ||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 17,813 | $ | (400 | ) | |||
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the year ended September 30, 2025 the company's activities used $560,740 of cash would was the result of the net loss of $718,251 offset by an $82 decrease in payables, an offset of noncash expenses of $185,055 and a $32,400 paydown under our licensing agreement. We also incurred prepaid expense of $6,000.
During the year ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $136,197 which after adjustments for a decrease/paydown of in accounts payable of $2,551 and $17,600 of license payable, and an offset of $68,670 of noncash expenditures resulted in net cash of $87,378 being used in operations.
Investing Activities
During the years ended September 30, 2025 the company invested $175,448 in product development costs and during the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any investing activities.
Financing Activities
During the year ended September 30, 3025, the Company sold $754,001 of common stock
During the year ended September 30, 3024, the Company raised $26,000 from related party advances and sold $60,903 of common stock and $75 of stock subscriptions. We also converted $311,363 of related party advances into common stock.
We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. In addition, we are dependent upon our controlling shareholder to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.
Cash Flow Considerations
The Company has historically relied upon shareholder financings, and to a lesser degree, debt financings, to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend heavily upon equity capital to finance its activities. The Company may pursue debt financing in the medium term if it is able to procure such financing on terms more favorable than available equity financing; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain any required financing in the future on acceptable terms.
The Company has limited financial resources compared to its proposed expenditures, no source of operating income, and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for current or future projects, although the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities through related party advances.
It is our current intention to seek to raise debt and/or equity financing to meet ongoing operating expenses and attempt to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.
Future losses are likely to occur as, until we are able to merge with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders, we have no sources of income to meet our operating expenses. As a result of these, among other factors, we received from our registered independent public accountants in their report for the financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Debt Covenants
The Company was in compliance with its lenders as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. A deterioration of our relationship with our lenders would provide stress for greater capital, possibly on adverse terms for our shareholders.
Research and development
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with Consultants and partners that also manufacture breath capture devices under our design specifications as well as gas chromatographers we use in research, product improvement, and operations. Prepayments under these arrangements can generally be repurposed or the services themselves cancelable upon prior written notice, though cancellation fees are likely. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided and expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and/or raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support and/or attaining and maintaining profitable levels of internally generated revenue. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2024, the end of the third quarter covered by the comparative information of this prospectus, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) who acts as our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our principal executive officer) and who is also our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our financial reports as of the end of the period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Per SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Environmental
Not applicable.
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing discussion and analysis, as well as certain information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created thereby. See the discussion in "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 1., "Business."
Accounting Developments
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our significant accounting policies is detailed in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. We have outlined below those policies identified as being critical to the understanding of our business and results of operations and that require the application of significant management judgment. All companies are required to include a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of their financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets
The recoverability of the carrying values of mineral properties is dependent upon economic reserves being discovered or developed on the properties, permitting, financing, start-up, and commercial production from, or the sale/lease of, or other strategic transactions related to these properties. Development and/or start-up of a project will depend on, among other things, management's ability to raise sufficient capital for these purposes. We assess the carrying cost of our mineral properties for impairment whenever information or circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. This would include events and circumstances such as our inability to obtain all the necessary permits, changes in the legal status of our mineral properties, government actions, the results of exploration activities and technical evaluations and changes in economic conditions, including the price of commodities or input prices. Such evaluations compare estimated future net cash flows with our carrying costs and future obligations on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss will be recorded. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not determinable and where other conditions indicate the potential for impairment, management uses available market information and/or third-party valuation experts to assess if the carrying value can be recovered and to estimate fair value.
We review and evaluate our long-lived assets, other than mineral properties, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets being tested for impairment and their carrying amounts.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of our liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates a net deferred income tax liability or asset, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. We derive our deferred income tax expense or benefit by recording the change in the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. With respect to the earnings we derive from the operations of our subsidiaries, in those situations where the earnings are indefinitely reinvested, no deferred taxes have been provided on the unremitted earnings (including the excess of the carrying value of the net equity of such entities for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis of such equity) of our subsidiaries.
We are subject to reviews of our income tax filings and other tax payments, and disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation of its contracts or laws. We recognize and record potential tax liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be different than the ultimate assessment, an additional expense or benefit would result. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income tax benefit (expense). In certain jurisdictions, we must pay a portion of the disputed amount to the local government in order to formally appeal the assessment. Such payment is recorded as a receivable if we believe the amount is ultimately recoverable.
Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
Our deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. We record a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.
