Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY’S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Surge Components, Inc. (“Surge”) was incorporated in the State of New York and commenced operations on November 24, 1981 as an importer of electronic products, primarily capacitors and discrete semi-conductors selling to customers located principally throughout North America. On June 24, 1988, Surge formed Challenge/Surge Inc. (“Challenge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary to engage in the sale of electronic component products and sounding devices from established brand manufacturers to customers located principally throughout North America.
In May 2002, Surge and an officer of Surge founded and became sole owners of Surge Components, Limited (“Surge Limited”), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law, Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999 shares of the outstanding common stock and the officer of Surge owns 1 share of the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights regarding his 1 share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July 2002. Surge Limited operations have been consolidated with the Company. Surge Limited is responsible for the sale of Surge’s products to customers located in Asia.
On August 31, 2010, the Company changed its corporate domicile by merging into a newly-formed corporation, Surge Components, Inc. (Nevada), which was formed in the State of Nevada for that purpose. Surge Components Inc. is the surviving entity.
In February 2019, the Company converted into a Delaware corporation. The number of authorized shares of common stock was decreased to 50,000,000 shares.
In December 2021, the Company changed its corporate domicile to Nevada.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(1)Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge, Challenge, and Surge Limited (collectively the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissions. In the opinion of management, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and all disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. The results and trends in these interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 may not be representative of those for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
(2)Accounts Receivable:
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value net of the allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheet and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to accounts receivable and reserves specific amounts if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. Based on the Company’s operating history and customer base, bad debts to date have not been material. Payment terms vary from customer to customer and range from 15 days to 120 days.
(3)Revenue Recognition:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment by the Company. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach in its fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017. The preponderance of the Company’s contracts with customers are standard ship and bill arrangements where revenue is recognized at the time of shipment.
(3)Revenue Recognition (continued):
Revenue is recognized for products sold by the Company when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. This occurs when product is shipped from the Company’s warehouse.
For direct shipments, revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the Company’s supplier. The Company has a long term supply agreement with one of our suppliers. The Company purchases the merchandise from the supplier and has the supplier directly ship to the customer through a freight forwarder. Title passes to customer upon the merchandise being received by a freight forwarder. Direct shipments were approximately $1,094,000 and $1,116,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 respectively.
The Company also acts as a sales agent to certain customers in North America for one of its suppliers. The Company reports these commissions as revenues in the period earned. Commission revenue totaled $5,129 and $84,198 for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 respectively.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.
The Company and its subsidiaries currently have agreements with several distributors. There are no provisions for the granting of price concessions in any of the agreements. Revenues under these distribution agreements were approximately $1,006,000 and $1,200,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 respectively.
(4)Inventories:
Inventories, which consist solely of products held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Products are included in inventory when the Company obtains title and risk of loss on the products, primarily when shipped from the supplier. Inventory in transit principally from foreign suppliers at February 28, 2026 was $398,808. The Company, at February 28, 2026, has a reserve against slow moving and obsolete inventory of $415,054. From time to time the Company’s products are subject to legislation from various authorities on environmental matters.
(5)Depreciation and Amortization:
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight line method and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows:
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 - 7 years |
|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | Estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter |
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(6)Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. At February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the Company’s uninsured cash balances and marketable securities totaled $5,384,434 and $4,267,113, respectively. The increase in cash balances is due to an increase in cash generated from the Company’s operations.
(7)Income Taxes:
The Company’s deferred income taxes arise primarily from the differences in the recording of allowances for bad debts, inventory reserves, depreciation and other expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided when it has been determined to be more likely than not that the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note H.
The Company follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). There have beenno unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of ASC 740.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2020, and state tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2019. Management does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of ASC 740, there wasno accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025.
(8)Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(9)Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(10)Marketing and promotional costs:
Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and have not been material to date. The Company has contractual arrangements with several of its distributors which provide for cooperative advertising rights to the distributor as a percentage of sales. Cooperative advertising is reflected as a reduction in revenues and has not been material to date.
(11)Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC subtopic 825-10,Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
(11)Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued):
The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025.
| February 28, 2026 | November 30, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Assets | ||||||
| Marketable securities | $8,363,700 | — | — | $8,438,017 | — | — |
(12)Marketable securities and other investments
Our marketable securities are stated at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 321,Investments- Equity Securities. Any changes in the fair value of the Company’s marketable debt securities are included in the statement of other comprehensive income. The market value of the securities is determined using prices as reflected on an established market. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are determined on an average cost basis. The marketable securities are investments predominately in Treasury bills and treasury notes which are being invested until such time the funds are needed for operations and reflected as available for sale debt securities.
The value of these marketable securities at February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025 is as follows:
| February 28, | November 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Cost | $8,225,749 | $8,252,278 |
| Gross unrealized gain | 151,464 | 187,669 |
| Gross unrealized loss | (13,513) | (1,930) |
| Fair value | $8,363,700 | $8,438,017 |
(13)Shipping Costs
The Company classifies shipping costs as a component of selling expenses. Shipping costs totaled $1,110 and $902 for three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 respectively.
(14)Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
For the periods presented in which the Company incurred a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options and convertible preferred stock, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for those periods.
Total potentially dilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted-average shares outstanding at February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 were 745,000 and 295,363, respectively.
(14)Earnings Per Share (continued):
The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| February 28, 2026 | February 28, 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net (loss) Gain | $(34,275) | $57,356 |
| Less: Preferred dividends | 2,500 | 2,500 |
| Net (Loss) income available to common shareholders | $(36,775) | $54,856 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted average shares outstanding – basic | 5,716,792 | 5,582,783 |
| Effect of convertible preferred stock | - | 100,000 |
| Effect of stock options | - | 64,637 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted | 5,716,792 | 5,747,420 |
| Basic earnings per share | $(.01) | $.01 |
| Diluted earnings per share | $(.01) | $.01 |
(15)Stock Based Compensation
Stock Based Compensation to Employees
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees over the related vesting period.
Stock Based Compensation to Other than Employees
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 718. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determinable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
(16)Leases:
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842)(“Topic 842”). Topic 842 requires the entity to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting expense recognition in the income statement.
On December 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 applying the optional transition method, which allows an entity to apply the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result of adopting Topic 842, the Company recognized assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by operating leases totaling approximately $290,000.
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company records operating lease right-of-use assets within “Other assets” and lease liabilities are recorded within “current and noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease expenses are recorded within “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease payments are presented within “Operating cash flows” in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
(16)Leases (continued):
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The Company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and, as such, applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the Company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
(17) Segment information
The Company operates through two divisions, Surge and Challenge. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information for Surge and Challenge separately in order to assess performance and allocate resources.
Each division acquires and distributes substantially similar products that are sold to similar customer types and operate within the same economic environment. The divisions share similar production processes, distribution methods, and regulatory environments. Accordingly, although financial information is reviewed separately by the CODM, the Company has determined that Surge and Challenge meet the aggregation criteria under ASC 280,Segment Reporting, and are aggregated into a single reportable segment.
Because the Company has one reportable segment, segment disclosures required under ASC 280 consist of the following entity-wide disclosures. Revenue by geographic regions is reported in Note M. Long-lived assets are primarily located within the US and Hong Kong.
NOTE C – FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets consist of the following:
| February 28, | November 30, | |

NOTE D – LOANS PAYABLE
In February 2017, the Company obtained a line of credit with a bank for up to $3,000,000 (the “Credit Line”). Borrowings under the Credit Line are due upon demand and accrue interest at the greater of the prime rate or the LIBOR rate plustwo percent (and may be increased bythree percent in the event the Company fails to (i) repay all amounts due on the Credit Line upon demand or (ii) comply with any terms or conditions relating to the Credit Line). The Credit Line is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of February 28, 2026, the balance on the Credit Line was $0. As of February 28, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenant for the debt service coverage ratio for the Credit Line. Effective July 1, 2023, the use of the LIBOR rate was discontinued and replaced with the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR).

The plan allows total employee contributions of up to fifteen percent (15%) of the eligible employee’s salary through salary reduction. The Company makes a matching contribution of twenty percent (20%) of each employee’s contribution for each dollar of employee deferral up to five percent (5%) of the employee’s salary. Net assets for the plan, as estimated by Axa Equitable, Inc., which maintains the plan’s records, were approximately $2,540,000 at November 30, 2025. Pension expense for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 was $15,133 and $16,239, respectively.

NOTE H – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company’s deferred income taxes are comprised of the following:
| February 28, | November 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Deferred Tax Assets | ||
| Depreciation | $36,107 | $35,837 |

A valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of deferred tax assets and was calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires that a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company’s income tax expense consists of the following:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| February 28, 2026 | February 28, 2025 | |

| Provision for income taxes | $(19,268) | $65,066 |
The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A reconciliation of the difference between the expected income tax rate using the statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective rate is as follows:
