NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Nature of Operations and Activities

Solitron Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Solitron”), designs, develops, manufactures, and markets solid-state semiconductor components and related devices primarily for the military and aerospace markets. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in1959 and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in* August 1987.In September 2023,Solitron acquired Micro Engineering Inc. (“MEI”). Since1980,* MEI has specialized in solving design layout and manufacturing challenges for electronic components. MEI specializes in low to mid volume projects that require engineering, quality systems and efficient manufacturing.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and wholly owned subsidiary, Micro Engineering Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. The Company could have reasonably used different accounting estimates. This applies in particular to inventory and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market accounts. The Company considers any short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities ofthree months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Investment in Marketable Securities

Investment in Marketable Securities includes investments in equity securities. Investments in securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the Company's marketable securities:

February 28, 2025 · Gross · Gross
Marketable Securities:CostUnrealized GainsUnrealized LossesFair Value
Common Stocks$533,000$402,000$(16,000)$919,000

Marketable Securities:CostUnrealized GainsUnrealized LossesFair Value
Common Stocks$581,000$375,000$(52,000)$904,000

As of* February 28, 2025*,1 security accounted for $628,000 of the $919,000 balance in marketable securities, and $376,000 of the $402,000 in unrealized gains. As of* February**29,* 2024,two securities accounted for $846,000 of the $904,000 balance in marketable securities, and $371,000 of the $375,000 in unrealized gains.

At* February 28, 2025and February**29,* 2024, the deferred tax liability related to unrecognized gains and losses on marketable securities was$94,000 and$82,000, respectively (see Note9).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC820 also sets forth a valuation hierarchy of the inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into the followingthree levels:

Level1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs* may*be used with internally developed methodologies that results in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The table below shows the Company’s marketable securities and contingent consideration as of* February 28, 2025and February**29,* 2024.

February 28, 2025 · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
Common Stocks$919,000$-$-$919,000
Contingent Consideration--1,233,0001,233,000
Total$919,000$-$1,233,000$2,152,000
February 29, 2024 · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
Common Stocks$904,000$-$-$904,000
Contingent Consideration--1,216,0001,216,000
Total$904,000$-$-$2,120,000

The table below shows the Company's fair value rollforward of the contingent consideration recorded as a liability for the MEI acquisition completed during the fiscal year ended* February**29,* 2024. Additional information regarding the contingent consideration accrual is available under Note3 Acquisition of Micro Engineering, Inc.

For the fiscal year endedFor the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2025February 29, 2024
Contingent consideration$ 1,216,000$ 1,163,000
Accrued interest expense105,00053,000
Earn out payment(88,000)-
Ending Balance$ 1,233,000$ 1,216,000

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding balances and donot bear interest. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk ofnot collecting amounts owed by customers. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. In addition, at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. If applicable, accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they donot share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible. The accounts receivable balance as of* February 28, 2025*,* February**29,* 2024, and* February 28, 2023* was $2,129,000, $2,826,000 and $784,000, respectively.

The allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s portfolio segment has remained consistent since the Company’s inception. The allowance for credit losses was $0 as of both* February 28, 2025and February**29,* 2024.

32

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there isno possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income (or an offset to credit loss expense) in the year of recovery, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election. The total amount of write-offs for the years ended* February 28, 2025and February**29,* 2024 was $0 for both years.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in net sales. Shipping costs incurred by the Company are recorded in cost of sales.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the “first-in,first-out” (FIFO) method. The Company buys raw material only to fill customer orders. Excess raw material is created only when a vendor imposes a minimum quantity buy in excess of actual requirements. Such excess material will usually be utilized to meet the requirements of the customer’s subsequent orders. If excess material isnot utilized aftertwo fiscal years, it is fully reserved. Any inventory item once designated as reserved is carried atzero value in all subsequent valuation activities.

The Company doesnot classify a portion of inventories as non-current since we cannot reasonably estimate based on the length of our operating cycle which items will or willnot be used withintwelve months.

The Company’s inventory valuation policy is as follows:

Raw material /Work in process:All material acquired or processed in the last two fiscal years is valued at the lower of its acquisition cost or net realizable value, except for wafers which function under a three- year policy. All material not used after two fiscal years is fully reserved for except wafers which were reserved for after three years. All raw wafers were fully reserved for when the wafer fab was decommissioned. Finished wafers produced in our former wafer fab are stored in the wafer bank and are considered work-in-process. Raw material in excess of five years’ usage that cannot be restocked, and slow-moving work in process are reserved for.
Finished goods:All finished goods with firm orders for later delivery are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. All finished goods with no orders are fully reserved.
Direct labor costs:Direct labor costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory based on engineering estimates of the number of man-hours required from the different direct labor departments to bring each device to its particular level of completion.

Property, Plant, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements

Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that donot extend their expected life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the lives of the related assets:

Building (years)39
Building Improvements (years)15
Leasehold ImprovementsShorter of 10 years or life of lease
Machinery and Equipment (years)5
Computer equipment3
Motor vehicles5

33

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and account receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts* maybe in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company hasnot* experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it isnot exposed to any significant credit risk on the accounts. As of* February 28, 2025*, and* February29,* 2024, all non-interest bearing checking accounts were FDIC insured to a limit of*$250,000.* Deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits were approximately $775,000 at* February 28, 2025* and $1,007,000 at* February29,* 2024. With respect to the account receivables, most of the Company’s products are custom made pursuant to contracts with customers whose end-products are sold to the United States Government. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Actual losses and allowances have historically been within management’s expectations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic606) which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally upon shipment of products to customers.

The core principle of the guidance in Topic606 is that an entity should 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 in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, the Company applied the following steps:

1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets solid-state semiconductor components and related devices. The Company’s products are used as components primarily in the military and aerospace markets.

The Company’s revenues are from purchase orders and/or contracts with customers associated with manufacture of products. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

The majority of the Company’s purchase orders or contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, the shipment of products.

3. Determine the transaction price.

The transaction price reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from the customer at a fixed price per unit shipped based on the terms of the contract or purchase order with the customer. To the extent our actual costs vary from the fixed price that was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss.

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. The Company receives purchase orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that* may*extend across reporting periods. The Company accounting policy treats shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. The Company invoices for each order upon shipment and recognizes revenues at the fixed price for each distinct product sold when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon shipment.

34

In addition, the Company* may*have a contract or purchase order to provide a non-recurring engineering service to a customer. These contracts are reviewed and performance obligations are determined and we recognize revenue at the point in time in which each performance obligation is fully satisfied.

We recognize revenue on sales to distributors when the distributor takes control of the products ("sold-to" model). We have agreements with distributors that allow distributors a limited credit for unsaleable products, which we refer to as a "scrap allowance." Consistent with industry practice, we also have a "stock, ship and debit" program whereby we consider requests by distributors for credits on previously purchased products that remain in distributors' inventory, to enable the distributors to offer more competitive pricing. We have contractual arrangements whereby we provide distributors with protection against price reductions initiated by us after product is sold by us to the distributor and prior to resale by the distributor. In addition, we have a termination clause inone of our distributor agreements that would allow for a full credit for all inventory upon60 days’ notice of terminating the agreement.

We recognize the estimated variable consideration to be received as revenue and record a related accrued expense for the considerationnot expected to be received, based upon an estimate of product returns, scrap allowances, "stock, ship and debit" credits, and price protection credits that will be attributable to sales recorded through the end of the period. We make these estimates based upon sales levels to our customers during the period, inventory levels at the distributors, current and projected market conditions, and historical experience under the programs. Our estimates require the exercise of significant judgments. We believe that we have a reasonable basis to estimate future credits under the programs.

Related Party Transactions

The Company currently purchases and has purchased in the past die and wafers, as specified by the Company's customers, from ES Components. Mr. Aubrey, a director of the Company, is a minority owner, and an immediate family member of Mr. Aubrey is the majority owner of ES Components. For the fiscal year ended* February 28, 2025*, the Company purchased $106,000 of die and $0 of used equipment from ES Components. For the fiscal year ended* February29,* 2024, the Company purchased $79,000 of die and $0 of used equipment from ES Components. The Company has included these expenses in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company occasionally makes sales to ES Components. For both the fiscal years ended* February 28, 2025*, and* February29,* 2024, sales were $0.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of ASC740-10, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC740-10, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance.

The Company accounts for the uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC740-10 and evaluates its tax positions utilizing atwo-step process. Thefirst step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Thesecond step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement and recognizing that amount in the financial statements.

Refer to Note9 for additional information on income taxes.

Net Income Per Common Share

Net income/loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC260-10 “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share incorporate the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options to the extent they arenot anti-dilutive using the treasury stock method. The Company hadno potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the fiscal years ended* February 28, 2025*, and* February**29,* 2024, therefore there isno effect from dilution on earnings per share.

35

Impairment of long-lived assets

Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed annually or when events and circumstances warrant an earlier review. In accordance with ASC Subtopic360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall,” impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value. No impairment losses were incurred during the fiscal years ended* February 28, 2025*, or* February**29,* 2024.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under ASC Topic718, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of outstanding stock options and grants as they vest, whether held by employees or others. There areno stock options outstanding, andno options were granted or vested during the fiscal years ended* February 28, 2025*, and* February**29,* 2024 under the Company’s2019 Stock Incentive Plan.

Leases

The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU2016-02, “Leases (Topic842),” which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of12 months or less from Topic842 as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. In consideration of ASC280, Segment Reporting, the Company has concluded it operates asone business segment. We currently produceone line of products and manage our business accordingly. Additionally, our CODM (President and Chief Operating Officer, Mark Matson) uses reports on bookings, backlogs and orders along with consolidated financial information to evaluate our performance, which is the same basis on which he communicates our results and performance to our Board of Directors. The CODM bases all significant decisions regarding the allocation of our resources on a consolidated basis. Based on the information described above and in accordance with the applicable literature, management has concluded that we are organized and operated asone operating and reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that requires entities to disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after* December 15, 2026 (fiscal year2028* for the Company) and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after* December 15, 2027.*

In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in a public business entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and other disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and to foreign taxing jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2024 (fiscal year2026* for the Company), but early adoption is permitted.

In* November 2023,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

The Company adopted this standard for fiscal year2025.

The Company doesnot believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued butnot yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION OF MICRO ENGINEERING, INC.

Effective* September 1, 2023 (*the “Closing Date”) the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Micro Engineering, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MEI”) and the shareholders of MEI (collectively, the “MEI Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all the outstanding capital stock of MEI for a purchase price of$3,000,000, subject to adjustment, in addition to the potential earn-out payments, as described in more detail in the paragraph that follows (the “Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition, MEI, which is engaged in the production and sale of electronic components primarily for the medical industry in the State of Florida, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, under the Purchase Agreement the Company agreed to the following potential earn-out payments as additional consideration for the Acquisition: for each of (1) the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on* December 31, 2023, (2) the calendar year ending on December 31, 2024, (3) the calendar year ending December 31, 2025,and (3) the period beginning on January 1, 2026and ending on thethird* anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company agreed to pay the MEI Shareholders 7.5% of the gross revenue actually received and collected by the Company during the applicable period from MEI’s existing customers as of the Closing and related to sales by the Company of Company products that were in existence as of the Closing. The Company paid $88,000 as a earn-out payment for the period ending on* December 31, 2023during the year ended February 28, 2025*. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration as of* February 28, 2025* and* February**29,* 2024 was $1,233,000 and $1,216,000, respectively.

February 28, 2025February 29, 2024
Accrued contingent consideration, current$570,000$465,000
Accrued contingent consideration, non-current663,000751,000
Totals$1,233,000$1,216,000

36

During the fiscal year ended* February**29,* 2024, the Company incurred approximately $300,000 of transaction-related expenses for the acquisition of MEI, which have been expensed in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, and is as follows (in000’s):

Assets Acquired
Cash and cash equivalents$535
Accounts receivable773

Purchase consideration:
Cash paid at closing3,000
Contingent consideration1,163
Reimbursed MEI Transaction expense(30)
Working capital adjustment(99)
Total purchase consideration$4,034

The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $6,270,000 exceeded the fair value of the purchase price of the business of $4,034,000. As a result, the Company reassessed the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and concluded that the valuation procedures and resulting measurements were appropriate. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a bargain purchase and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2,236,000 associated with the acquisition for the fiscal year ended* February**29,* 2024.

Ending Balance$310,000$471,000

38

As noted in Note2 above,one of our distributor agreements has a termination clause that would allow for a full credit for all inventory upon60 days’ notice of terminating the agreement. As of* February 28, 2025*, and* February**29,* 2024, the inventory balance at that distributor was $1,199,000 and $1,454,000, respectively. Based upon sales levels to and by the distributor during the period, inventory levels at the distributor, current and projected market conditions, and historical experience under the program, we believe it is highly unlikely that the distributor would exercise termination. Should it occur, we believe the products could be sold to other distributors or held in inventory for future sale. The Company reduced the sales returns allowance by $161,000 based on the decrease in inventory balances at the distributor during the fiscal year ended* February 28, 2025*.

The Company warrants that its products, when delivered, will be free from defects in material workmanship under normal use and service. The obligations are limited to replacing, repairing, or reimbursing for, at the option of the Company, any products that are returned withinone year after the date of shipment. The Company doesnot reserve for potential warranty costs based on historical experience and the nature of its cost tracking system.

9. INCOME TAXES

Updated draft - Pending finalization of the tax provision

The Company incurred a deferred tax benefit due to the release of the valuation allowance for the tax year ended* February**29,* 2024. The release was based on the Company expecting to be profitable such that all its historical net operating losses would be used up before any expiration.

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year ended* February 28, 2025*, and* February**29,* 2024, is as follows:

2025 · 2024

Total net deferred taxes are comprised of the following at* February 28, 2025and February**29,* 2024:

A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely thannot that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset willnot be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined thatno valuation allowance is necessary since the deferred tax asset is more likely thannot to be realized for the years ended* February 28, 2025*, and* February**29,* 2024.

On* March 27, 2020,the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law. Certain provisions of the CARES Act could impact the2019* income tax provision computations of the Company and will be reflected in the period of enactment (tax year2020). The CARES Act, among other things, contains modifications on the limitation of business interest expense under Section163(j), allow for NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset100% of taxable income for taxable years before2021, and includes a technical correction to the TCJA with respect to Qualified Improvement Property ("QIP") where such property has a15- year recovery period for purposes of the general depreciation system of Section168(a). The Company has evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and it believes thatnone of the modifications or tax law changes will result in any material benefit.

As of* February 28, 2025*, the Company estimates it has approximately $6.7 million of Federal and $4.1 million of state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards as compared to $8.7 million of Federal and $5.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards as of* February**29,* 2024. The remaining balance of federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in2029. Such net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income, if any. In management’s opinion, as of* February 28, 2025*, the utilization of such net operating losses for tax purposes is more likely thannot, therefore the deferred tax asset hasno valuation allowance as of* February 28, 2025*.

Under Sections382 and383 of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended, (the Code), substantial changes in the Company’s ownership* maylimit the amount of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards that could be used annually in the future to offset taxable income. A formal Section382* study hasnot been completed to determine if an ownership change has occurred and if its net operating losses are subject to an annual limitation. Such annual limitations could affect the utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards in the future.

The Federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Fiscal Year Ending February 28/29Amount
2029$2,402,000
2037322,000
2038188,000
