| Note 1 | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: |
|---|
Overview:
IEH Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “IEH” or the “Company”) began operations in New York, New York in 1941 and was incorporated as a New York corporation in March, 1943, when Louis Offerman founded L. Offerman Tool & Die with his two sons, Bernard and Seymour.
The Company designs and manufactures Hyperboloid connectors that not only accommodate, but exceed military and aerospace specification standards.
| Note 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
|---|
Revenue Recognition:
The core principle underlying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 sets out the following steps for an entity to follow when applying the core principle to its revenue generating transactions:
| ● | Identify the contract with a customer |
| ● | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Determine the transaction price |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations |
| ● | Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied |
The Company recognizes revenue and the related cost of products sold when the performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are typically satisfied upon shipment of physical goods. In addition to the satisfaction of the performance obligations, the following conditions are required for revenue recognition: an arrangement exists, there is a fixed price, and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives. Historically, the Company has not had an issue with uncollectible accounts receivable.
The Company will accept a return of defective products within one year from shipment for repair or replacement at the Company’s option. If the product is repairable, the Company at its own cost, will repair and return it to the customer. If unrepairable, the Company will provide a replacement at its own cost. Historically, returns and repairs have not been material.

Revenue Recognition, continued
The Company’s disaggregated revenue by geographical location is as follows:
| For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Domestic | $27,704,583 | $27,138,838 |
| International | 1,713,017 | 1,645,023 |
| Total | $29,417,600 | $28,783,861 |
The Company’s disaggregated revenue by industry as a percentage of total revenue is provided below:
| For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Industry | % | % |
| Defense | 63.2 | 65.7 |
| Commercial Aerospace | 25.2 | 19.9 |
| Space | 7.8 | 10.6 |
| Other | 3.8 | 3.8 |
| 100.0 | 100.0 | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions that may exceed federally insured amounts at times.
Inventories:
Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and are stated at cost, on an average basis, which does not exceed net realizable value. The Company manufactures products pursuant to specific technical and contractual requirements.
The Company reviews its purchase and usage activity of its inventory of parts as well as work in process and finished goods to determine which items of inventory have become obsolete within the framework of current and anticipated orders. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost. A periodic adjustment, based upon historical experience is made to inventory in recognition of this impairment. The Company’s allowance for obsolete inventory was $1,008,261 and $710,498 as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was reflected as a reduction of inventory.
| Note 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued): |
|---|
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in banks was in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of these deposits. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers or invoices billed to customers that represent unconditional rights to payment. Our customers are located within the U.S. and internationally. The Company believes there is no material exposure to any significant credit risks related to its accounts receivable and has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (5–7 years) of the related assets.
Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Items of property, plant and equipment, which are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation or amortization account. Any gain or loss thereon is either credited or charged to operations.
Income Taxes:
The Company’s current provision for income taxes is based upon its estimated taxable income in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates, after considering the impact on taxable income of temporary and permanent differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Should management determine that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets would be established in the period such determination was made.
| Note 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued): |
|---|
Uncertain Tax Positions:
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. The Company’s policy is to record expense in the statement of operations.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share:
The Company accounts for earnings per share pursuant to ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive).
Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share is calculated as follows:
| For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net (loss) income | $(1,296,784) | $999,038 |
| Net (loss) income per common share: | ||
| Basic | $(0.53) | $0.42 |
| Diluted | $(0.53) | $0.41 |
| Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic | 2,424,216 | 2,381,824 |
| Dilutive effect of options to the extent that such options are determined to be in the money for the period | - | 61,431 |
| Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – fully diluted | 2,424,216 | 2,443,255 |
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
| For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Potentially dilutive options to purchase common shares | 455,000 | 313,204 |
| Note 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued): |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents but mitigates this risk by keeping these deposits at major financial institutions.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or correlation by other means.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The Company utilizes estimates with respect to determining the useful lives of fixed assets, the fair value of stock-based instruments, the calculation of inventory obsolescence, as well as determining the amount of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, net. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
| Note 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued): |
|---|
Segment Information:
The Company identifies its operating segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s operations on a combined basis for the purposes of allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined it operates and manages its business in asingle reportable operating segment.
The Company’s CODM reviews the segment net (loss) income that also is reported on the income statement as net (loss) income on a monthly basis, and reviews revenues by industry on a quarterly basis. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment-Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” and requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. There wereno long-lived asset impairments recognized by the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation:
Compensation expense for stock options granted to directors, officers and key employees is based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which is the date of the grant. The expense is recognized ratably over the service period of the award. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of any other stock awards is generally the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. It is the Company’s policy that any unrecognized stock-based compensation cost would be adjusted for actual forfeitures as they occur.
Fair value of the stock options granted during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were determined using the assumptions provided below.
| For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 · 2025 | ||||
| Weighted average stock price | $8.28 | $7.47 | ||
| Expected life (in years) | 5.0 | 5.0 | ||
| Expected volatility | 57.9% | 52.3% | ||
| Dividend yield | - | % | - | % |
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate, per annum | 4.0% | 4.6% | ||

Recent Accounting Standard Adopted:
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring public business entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation tabular presentation, as well as by providing additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires disaggregated disclosures of federal and state income taxes paid. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additional required disclosure has been included within Note 9 – Income Taxes.
Recent Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, – Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the full extent of the adoption of ASU 2024-03, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
Subsequent Events:
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

| Note 6 | LEASES: |
|---|
Under ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, lease expense is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term consists of non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend or terminate the lease term, when it is reasonably certain such options will be exercised.
The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business and assesses whether any such contracts contain a lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception if it conveys the right to control the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases as operating or financing in nature and records the associated lease liability and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet. The lease liability represents the present value of future lease payments, net of lease incentives, discounted using an incremental borrowing rate, which is a management estimate based on the information available at the commencement date of a lease arrangement. With respect to operating lease arrangements, the Company accounts for lease components, and non-lease components that are fixed, as a single lease component. Non-lease components that are variable are expensed as incurred as in the statement of operations. The Company recognizes costs associated with lease arrangements having an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) on a straight-line basis over the lease term; such short-term leases are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Balance sheet information related to our leases is presented below:
| As of March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance Sheet Location | 2026 | 2025 | |

| Right-of-use lease liability, long-term | Operating lease liabilities, non-current | $1,392,937 | $1,841,993 |
The lease expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $564,077 and $571,383, respectively. In addition to the base rent, the Company pays insurance premiums and utility charges relating to the use of the premises. The Company considers its present facilities to be adequate for its present and anticipated future needs.
The basic minimum annual rental remaining on the leases is $2,081,688 as of March 31, 2026.

| Note 7 | REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT: |
|---|
On August 26, 2025, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement (“Revolving Line of Credit”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase Bank”) for up to $1.0 million, bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 2.15%. The Revolving Line of Credit contains certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio (the “FCCR”) of at least 1.20, tested annually, and matures on July 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s FCCR was below the covenant requirement. Effective for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Chase Bank waived the covenant exception. As of March 31, 2026, there wasno outstanding borrowing under the Revolving Line of Credit. The Revolving Line of Credit is collateralized by a first-priority security interest in all property of the Company.
| Note 8 | EQUIPMENT FINANCING LINE OF CREDIT: |

On September 8, 2025, the Company entered into a $450,000 equipment financing arrangement with Chase Bank, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.51%, to be repaid over a 60-month period (“Equipment Financing Line of Credit”). The Equipment Financing Line of Credit is expected to be utilized to purchase machine tools for production. Funding is on an equipment project basis, and once a project is fully funded, the obligation for that project is to be repaid by the execution of term note payable to Chase Bank. The Equipment Financing Line of Credit contains certain financial covenants, consistent with the requirements under the Revolving Line of Credit. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s FCCR was below the covenant requirement for the Equipment Financing Line of Credit. Effective for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Chase Bank waived the covenant exception. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an outstanding draw of $415,924, of which $256,257 is reflected within equipment financing line of credit on the balance sheet and $159,667 is reflected within equipment financing line of credit, net of current on the balance sheet. The borrowings under the Equipment Financing Line of Credit are collateralized by a first lien on the related equipment financed under the arrangement.
| Note 9 | INCOME TAXES: |
|---|
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the currently enacted marginal income tax rates. Deferred income tax expense or credits are based on the changes in the deferred income tax assets or liabilities from period to period.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:

|---|
The reconciliation of the U.S federal income tax provision for the year ended March 31, 2026 above reflects the adoption of ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, on a prospective basis. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Standards Adopted, for additional information on the adoption of ASU 2023-09.
The reconciliation of the U.S. federal income tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% for the year ended March 31, 2025 to our provision for income taxes, as previously disclosed, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, was as follows:
| U.S. federal statutory rate | 21.0% |
|---|---|
| State taxes, net of federal benefit | 2.2% |
| Stock-based compensation | (0.1)% |
| Other | 3.0% |
| True-up of tax provision | (4.2)% |
| Valuation allowance | (21.8)% |
| Effective tax rate | 0.1% |
For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was 3.2%, which consisted principally of a federal rate of 21%, the Company’s estimate of state taxes, net of federal benefit, of-%, research and development tax credit of 2.1%, a true-up of the tax provision of 2.1%, offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets of 22.6% at March 31, 2026.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.1%, which consisted principally of a federal rate of 21%, the Company’s estimate of state taxes, net of federal benefit, of 2.2%, offset by a credit of (4.2%) for true-ups and a decrease (21.8%) in the valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2025.
| Note 9 | INCOME TAXES (Continued): |

Income taxes paid, net of (refunds), are as follows:
| Federal | $(396,010) |
|---|---|
| State and local | 7,834 |
| Total | $(388,176) |
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, income taxes paid, net of refunds was a net refund of $388,176. The refund of federal income taxes was principally attributable to the receipt of a refund in the amount of $418,000 related to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. State and local payments were principally attributable to payments to the state of Massachusetts.
As of March 31, 2026, for U.S. federal and state income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $9,718,000 of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), for U.S. income tax purposes, NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income. The total amount of the Federal NOL as of March 31, 2026, may be carried forward indefinitely. The state and city NOLs may generally be carried forward for twenty years and may be applied against future taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur if the Company issues additional shares of common stock.
In July 2025, U.S tax legislation known as the “One Big Beautiful Act”, or OBBBA, was signed into law which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the TCJA that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, including depreciation and timing for the deductibility of research and development expenses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026.
The Company remains subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal tax years ended March 31, 2022 and later.

The Company has previously recorded liabilities for underpayment of income taxes and related interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions based on the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. At March 31, 2026 the amount included in corporate income taxes receivable is a liability of 177,618, inclusive of penalties and interest totaling $72,644.

Stock option activity
The following table provides the stock option activity:
| Shares | Weighted Avg. Exercise Price | Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | 564,217 | $12.78 | 4.85 | $335 |
| Granted | 60,000 | 8.28 | ||

| Balance as of March 31, 2026 | 455,000 | $14.65 | 5.25 | $2,203 |
| Exercisable as of March 31, 2026 | 455,000 | $14.65 | 5.25 | $2,203 |
The weighted average grant date fair value per share was $4.42 and $3.81 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on those dates.

The Company has a collective bargaining multi-employer pension plan (“Multi-Employer Plan”) with the United Auto Workers of America, Local 259 (ID No. 136115077). The Multi-Employer Plan is covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Company, which expires on March 31, 2027.
Contributions are made in accordance with a negotiated labor contract and are based on the number of covered employees employed per month. With the passage of the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1990 (the “1990 Act”), the Company may become subject to liabilities in excess of contributions made under the collective bargaining agreement. Generally, these liabilities are contingent upon the termination, withdrawal, or partial withdrawal from the Multi-Employer Plan. The risks of participating in a multiemployer plan are different from single-employer plans, for example, assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, if a participating employer stops contributing to the multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may become the obligation of the remaining participating employers, and if a participating employer chooses to stop participating in these multiemployer plans, the employer may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan.
Based upon the Multi-Employer Plan’s consulting actuary, as of January 1, 2025, the UAW Local 259 Pension Plan was greater than 100% funded for purposes of the Annual Certification of Plan Status under IRC Section 432. The total contributions charged to operations under the provisions of the Multi-Employer Plan were $28,583 and $34,179 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
