NOTE A – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management of Frequency Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2024 and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. The April 30, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, filed on August 2, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

NOTE B – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted income per share (“EPS”) for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were as follows:

**For the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of EPS since the inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive. The exercisable shares excluded for the three months ended July 31, 2024 were 76,000 shares. The exercisable shares excluded for the three months ended July 31, 2023 were 155,000 shares.

On July 22, 2024 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock. The special dividend was paid on August 29, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2024. The total amount of the special dividend payment was approximately $9.6 million.

NOTE C – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, and therefore, revenue has not been recognized. During the three months ended July 31, 2024, we recognized $7.7 million of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2024 as revenue. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, we recognized $3.7 million of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2023 as revenue. If contract losses are anticipated, a loss provision is recorded for the full amount of such losses when they are determinable. Total contract losses for three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $6,000 and $139,000, respectively. The liability for contract losses is presented as loss provision accrual within the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE D –EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

During the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company made contributions of 26,457 shares of its common stock to the Company’s profit-sharing plan and trust under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company made contributions of 17,013 shares of its common stock to the Company’s profit-sharing plan and trust under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE E – INVENTORIES

Inventories, which are reported at the lower of cost and net realizable value, consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE F – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company’s leases primarily represent offices, warehouses, vehicles, manufacturing facilities and Research and Development (“R&D”) facilities which expire at various times through 2029 and are operating leases. Contractual arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine if the agreement contains a lease.

The Company elected the practical expedient for short-term leases which allows leases with terms of 12 months or less to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term without being recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.

The table below presents ROU assets and liabilities recorded on the respective consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):

Total operating lease expense was $0.5 million for both the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the majority of which is included in cost of revenues and the remaining amount in selling and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for each of the first four fiscal years and total of the remaining fiscal years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2024:

As of July 31, 2024 and 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term for all operating leases was 4.81 years and 5.43 years, respectively. The Company does not generally have access to the rate implicit in the leases and therefore selected a rate that is reflective of companies with similar credit ratings for secured debt as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of July 31, 2024 and 2023, was 6.34% and 6.23%, respectively.

NOTE G – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates undertwo reportable segments based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries:

The Company measures segment performance based on total revenues and profits generated by each geographic location rather than on the specific types of customers or end-users. Consequently, the Company determined that the segments indicated above most appropriately reflect the way the Company’s management views the business.

The accounting policies of the two segments are the same as those described in “Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit (loss), which is defined as income before income on investments, interest expense, and taxes. All acquired assets, including intangible assets, are included in the assets of the applicable reporting segment.

The tables below present information about reported segments with reconciliation of segment amounts to consolidated amounts as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated balance sheets for each of the periods (in thousands):

Total revenue recognized over time as Percentage of Completion (“POC”) and Passage of Title (“POT”) was approximately $14.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of the $15.1 million reported for the three months ended July 31, 2024. Total revenue recognized over time as POC and POT was approximately $11.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of the $12.4 million reported for the three months ended July 31, 2023. The amounts by segment and product line were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE H – INVESTMENT IN MORION, INC.

The Company has an investment in Morion, a privately-held Russian company, which manufactures high precision quartz resonators and crystal oscillators. The Company has also licensed certain technology to Morion.

The Company’s investment consists of 4.6% of Morion’s outstanding shares. However, due to the Russia Ukraine conflict and resulting sanctions the future status of FEI’s investment in Morion became uncertain and accordingly, such investment was written of in fiscal year 2022. The carrying value of this investment is $0 as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

During the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not acquire any product from Morion. During the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not receive dividends from Morion.

Purchases of materials from Morion consist mainly of quartz crystal blanks which are used in the fabrication of quartz resonators. In the event that these items become unavailable from Morion, the Company is in the process of establishing alternate sources of supply. The Company is also capable of fabricating the crystal blanks in-house.

NOTE I – RESTRICTED CASH

As of July 31, 2024 restricted cash consisted of approximately $1.2 million related to a letter of credit required for contractual restrictions during the period of performance for one of the Company’s contracts. As of April 30, 2024 restricted cash consisted of approximately $945,000 related to a letter of credit required for contractual restrictions during the period of performance for one of the Company’s contracts. Restricted cash is classified as current or non-current based on the remaining performance period of the contract.

A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is shown below (in thousands):

NOTE J – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands on the required disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect on its consolidated financial statements when adopted in fiscal year 2025 but does not expect the effect to be material.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires companies to annually disclose categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information about income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 will have to the financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE K – DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future.

As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. We consider all positive and negative evidence, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable, we establish a valuation allowance. As of July 31, 2024, and April 30, 2024, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to adjust its existing valuation allowance resulting in changes to deferred income tax expense. It is reasonably possible the existing valuation allowance will be reduced within the next 12 months.
