Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include allowance for credit losses, provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory, recoverability of the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for presentation of interim financial information. Therefore, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2024 and related disclosures were derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2024. Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarterly periods or the entire fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for all periods presented include the accounts of EACO, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco, and Bisco’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited (all of which are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We maintain an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses on our trade receivables, resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for products sold. The allowance for credit losses is based on a variety of factors, including credit reviews, historical experience, length of time receivables are due, current economic trends and changes in customer payment behavior. We also record specific provisions for individual accounts when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. The allowance for credit losses was $324,000 and $298,000 at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively.

Inventories, net

Inventories consist primarily of electronic fasteners and components and are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Inventories are adjusted for slow moving or obsolete items, which was approximately $2,037,000 and $1,837,000 at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively. The adjustments to inventory costs are based upon management’s review of inventories on-hand over their expected future utilization and length of time held by the Company.

Marketable Securities, Trading

The Company invests in marketable trading securities, which include long and short positions in equity securities. Securities are stated at fair value, which is determined using the quoted closing prices at each reporting date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of operations and represent the change in the market value of investment holdings during the period.

Property, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciable life for buildings isthirty-five years andfive toseven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, whichever is less. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or disposition of the asset, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual basis. The recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

On October 20, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of its corporate headquarters located at 5065 East Hunter Avenue in Anaheim, California (the “Hunter Property”) from the Glen F. Ceiley and Barbara A. Ceiley Revocable Trust (the “Trust”) for $31,000,000 in cash. An appraisal, conducted in September 2023 by an independent third party, valued the Hunter Property at $31,000,000, which was inclusive of tenant improvements previously purchased and recorded by the Company. Upon completion of the Hunter Property purchase and the termination of the Hunter Lease during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $3,900,000, which was the net book carrying value of the tenant improvements at the date the building was acquired.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes on income result from temporary differences between the reporting of income for financial statement and tax reporting purposes. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income (if any), tax planning strategies and recent financial performance.

The Company provides for tax contingencies, if any, for federal, state, local and international exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these reserves requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing. Although the outcome of these tax audits is uncertain, in management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities emanating from these reviews. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from product sales. Revenue recognition is determined through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company’s contract with the customer is executed with a customer purchase order and performance obligations consist solely of product shipped to customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products, which the Company’s standard terms and conditions are shipping point, to customers at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these products as stated on the Company’s invoice to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of returns and any taxes collected from customers. The Company generally offers industry standard contractual terms in its terms and conditions stated on its invoices and Company website.

Freight revenues associated with product sales are recognized at point of shipment and when the criteria discussed above have been met. Freight revenues have represented less than 1% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement contains a lease, for accounting purposes, at contract inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, the current portion of operating lease liabilities,and the operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of a leased asset for the contractual term, and lease liabilities represent the related obligation to make lease payments arising from the contractual arrangement. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the contractual term. The operating lease ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term.

Many of the Company’s leases include both lease (such as fixed payment amounts including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (such as common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.

Many leases include one or more options to renew the contract. Therefore, renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options each reporting period and when they are reasonably certain to be exercised, management will include the lease renewal period in our contractual term when estimating the ROU assets and related liabilities.

Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, as defined by GAAP, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on our line of credit variable interest rate that is set at the bank prime index rate in order to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company applies a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate. As of May 31, 2025, the Company had right of use assets of approximately $6,739,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $6,896,000 recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had right of use assets of approximately$7,500,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $7,600,000 recorded in the consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share for each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for those periods have been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive common shares represent 40,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of 36,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, which were outstanding at each of May 31, 2025 and 2024.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (specifically, Canadian dollars used to record the assets and liabilities for Bisco Industries limited) are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end rate of exchange. The exchange rate for Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars on May 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.73 in each period. The resulting balance sheet translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Revenue and expenses are transacted at the average exchange rates for each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024. The average exchange rates for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.71 and $0.74, respectively. All foreign sales, excluding Canadian sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to foreign currency risk exposure.

Concentrations

Net sales to customers outside the United States were approximately 11% of revenues for each of the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, and related accounts receivable were approximately 10% of total accounts receivable as of May 31, 2025 and 2024. Sales to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 25% and 27% of such international sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sales to customers located within Asia accounted for approximately 41% and 37% of such international sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net sales to customers outside the United States were approximately 11% of revenues for each of the three months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, and related accounts receivable were approximately 10% of total accounts receivable as of May 31, 2025 and 2024. Sales to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 23% and 26% of such international sales for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sales to customers located within Asia accounted for approximately 41% and 37% of such international sales for the three months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for either of the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024. In addition, no single customer’s receivable balance accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s customer receivables as of either May 31, 2025 or August 31, 2024.

Note 3. Accrued Liabilities

The Company’s accrued liabilities as of May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 4. Debt

The Company has a $20,000,000 line of credit agreement with Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank”). On May 10, 2024, the Company executed a Change in Terms Agreement dated as of April 12, 2024 (the “Amendment”) with the Bank to modify terms of that certain Business Loan Agreement dated as of November 5, 2022 between Bisco and the Bank. The Amendment (i) extends the expiration date of the line of credit under the Loan Agreement to February 15, 2026; and (ii) increases the principal loan amount under the line of credit to $20,000,000.

The line of credit has a variable interest rate set at the bank prime index rate, but provided that in no event would such interest rate be less than 3.5% perannum. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The amount outstanding under this line of credit as of each of May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 was $491,000 andzero, respectively. The line of credit agreement contains certain nonfinancial and financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of each of May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company also entered into a loan agreement with the Bank on July 12, 2019 to borrow up to $5,000,000 (the “Construction Loan”) for the primary purpose of financing tenant improvements at the Hunter Property. The Construction Loan was a line of credit evidenced by a Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of May 15, 2027. The terms of the Construction Loan provide that the Company may only request advances through July 15, 2020, and thereafter, the Construction Loan would convert to a term loan with a fixed rate of 4.6%, which is entitled to a.25% rate discount if a demand deposit account is held with the Bank. On July 15, 2020, the amount drawn on the Construction Loan and converted to a term loan was $4,807,000. Interest on the Construction Loan is payable monthly. The interest rate was 4.35% at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024. Concurrent with the execution of this Construction Loan, Bisco entered into a commercial security agreement, dated July 12, 2019, with the Bank, pursuant to which Bisco granted the Bank a security interest in substantially all of Bisco’s personal property to secure Bisco’s obligations under the Construction Loan. The outstanding balance of the Construction Loan at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 was $4,246,000 and $4,343,000, respectively. The Construction Loan’s future principal due until maturity by fiscal year is as follows:

The Company has also entered into a business loan agreement (and related $100,000 promissory note) with the Bank in order to obtain a $100,000 letter of credit as security for the Company’s worker’s compensation requirements.

Note 5. Leases

The Company leases its facilities and automobiles under operating lease agreements (one distribution facility, located in Glendale Heights, IL, is leased from the Trust, which is beneficially owned and controlled by Glen Ceiley, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder). Our operating lease agreements expire on various dates through September 2027 and require minimum rental payments ranging from$1,000 to$27,000 per month. Certain of the leases contain options for renewal under varying terms.

On October 20, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of the Hunter Property, which was leased by the Company, from the Trust for a purchase price of$31,000,000. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this report for further explanation.

The discount rate used on the operating ROU assets represented the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.

Minimum future rental payments under operating leases are as follows:

Operating lease costs under these leases were approximately $2,508,000 and $2,118,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

The Company leases its Chicago area sales office and distribution center located in Glendale Heights, Illinois under an operating lease agreement (the “Glendale Lease”) from the Trust, which is the grantor trust of Glen Ceiley, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and majority shareholder. The Glendale Lease is aten-year triple net lease with an initial monthly rental rate of $22,600, which is subject to annual rent increases of approximately 2.5% as set forth in the Glendale Lease. During the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred expense related to the Glendale Lease of approximately $241,000 and $235,000, respectively.

On July 26, 2019, the Company entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement with the Trust (the “Hunter Lease”), for the lease of the Hunter Property, which houses the Company’s corporate headquarters. The Company completed its move to the headquarters located at the Hunter Property in March 2020. The term of the Hunter Lease commenced on September 2, 2019 and ended on October 20, 2023, and had an initial monthly rental rate of $66,300, which was subject to annual rent increases of approximately 2.5% as was set forth in the Hunter Lease. During the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred expense related to the Hunter Lease of approximately zero and $123,000, respectively.

On October 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Standard Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase the Hunter Property for a purchase price of $31,000,000 in cash, which closed on October 20, 2023. The Hunter Property is expected to continue to house the Company’s corporate headquarters and Anaheim distribution center for the foreseeable future. The Hunter Property was purchased with cash, funded by the Company’s available cash accounts and liquidated securities.

Note 7. Income Taxes

During the nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of$7,800,000 and$2,900,000, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.3% and 25.2%, respectively. The provision for income taxes increased by $4,900,000 in the nine months period ended May 31, 2025 over the prior year period due to higher pre-tax income in the current period over the prior year period.

During the three months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of$3,200,000 and $362,000 respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.9% and 23.4%, respectively. The provision for income taxes increased by $2,800,000 in the three months period ended May 31, 2025 over the prior year period due to higher pre - tax income in the current period over the prior year period.

The current period effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the state tax rates and permanent book tax differences.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. For each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefit. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of its income tax provision. For each of the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot have a liability for penalties or interest. The Company does not expect any changes to its unrecognized tax benefit for the next three months that would materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of our business. Any such matters and disputes could be costly and time consuming, subject the Company to damages or equitable remedies, and divert management and key personnel from core business operations.

In January 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Bisco, alleging wage and hour violations and related claims. The class action covers a class of former and current employees of Bisco who were employed between January 13, 2019 and the present time. In March 2023, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint that added claims under the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). Both parties requested to stay the litigation pending mediation, which mediation commenced in April 2024. As a result of the mediation, the parties agreed in principle to settle this matter for approximately $7,500,000, which settlement amount was increased to $7,683,000 in May 2025. In July 2025, the court approved the settlement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, as amended, the aggregate settlement payment (less the $154,000 that has already been paid) is expected to be paid by the Company within the next few months after the final order is issued in the litigation. At that time, the Company will also pay the Company’s share of the employment taxes related to the portion of the settlement amount that is payable to the Company’s employees. The Company accrued $7,390,000 and $285,000 in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, in anticipation of this settlement.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events subsequent to May 31, 2025, through the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are filed with the SEC, for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
