Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• The Company currently believes that the automotive market and the architectural market will be the largest source of its royalty income over the next several years.
• Certain license fees, which are paid to the Company in advance of the accounting period in which they are earned resulting in the recognition of deferred revenue for the current accounting period, will be recognized as fee income in future periods.

• There is no assurance that the Company’s plans will be successful.
• The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
