NOTE
A – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
the opinion of management of Frequency Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in
all material respects, the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2025 and the results of its operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the six months
ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. The April 30, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial
statements. These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, filed on July 18, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
NOTE
B – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Reconciliation
of the weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and six months
ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were as follows:

** For
the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 there were no shares to exclude from the calculation of dilutive securities. For the
three and six months ended October 31, 2024 dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of EPS since the inclusion of such
shares would be antidilutive. The exercisable shares excluded for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 were 76,000 shares
in both periods.
On
July 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $ 1.00 per share of common stock. The special
dividend was paid on August 29, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2024. The total amount of the
special dividend payment was approximately $ 9.6 million.
NOTE
C – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Contract
assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts
with customers. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily
relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, and
therefore, revenue has not been recognized. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2025, we recognized $ 3.3 million and $ 7.4
million, respectively, of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2025 as revenue. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2024,
we recognized $ 8.3 million and $ 16.0 million, respectively, of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2024 as revenue. If contract losses
are anticipated, a loss provision is recorded for the full amount of such losses when they are determinable.

D –EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
During
the three and six months ended October 31, 2025, the Company made contributions of 6,768 and 19,173 shares, respectively, of its common
stock to the Company’s profit-sharing plan and trust under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. During the three and six
months ended October 31, 2024, the Company made contributions of 17,577 and 44,034 shares, respectively, of its common stock to the Company’s
profit-sharing plan and trust under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Such contributions are in accordance with the Company’s
discretionary match of employee voluntary contributions to this plan.
Deferred
compensation expense charged to selling and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended October 31, 2025, was approximately
$ 131,000 and $ 264,000 , respectively, inclusive of approximately $ 22,000 and 46,000 , respectively, of interest expense. Payments made
related to deferred compensation were approximately $ 183,000 and $ 366,000 , respectively, for the same periods. Deferred compensation
expense charged to selling and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, was approximately $ 140,000
and $ 283,000 , respectively, inclusive of approximately $ 26,000 and $ 53,000 , respectively, of interest expense. Payments made related
to deferred compensation were approximately $ 179,000 and $ 358,000 , respectively, for the same periods.
The
whole-life insurance policies on the lives of certain participants covered by deferred compensation agreements have been placed in a
trust. Upon the death of any insured participant, cash received from life insurance policies in excess of the Company’s deferred
compensation obligations to the estate or beneficiaries of the deceased, are also placed in the trust. These assets belong to the Company
until a change of control event, as defined in the trust agreement, should occur. At that time, the Company is required to add sufficient
cash to the trust so as to match the deferred compensation liability described above. Such funds will be used to continue the deferred
compensation arrangements following a change of control. The life insurance policies amounted to $ 7.2 million at October 31, 2025 and
$ 7.0 million at April 30, 2025. The business account and U.S.debt securities within the trust are valued on a Level 1 basis and amounted
to $ 3.7 million and $ 3.5 million at October 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, respectively. The fixed income corporate debt securities within
the trust are valued on a Level 2 basis and amounted to $ 0.5 million at October 31, 2025 and $ 0.4 million at April 30, 2025. Level 2
securities are valued at the closing prices and are consistent with quoted prices of similar assets reported in active markets.

NOTE
F – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES
The
Company’s leases primarily represent offices, warehouses, vehicles, manufacturing and research and development (“R&D”)
facilities, which expire at various times through 2030 and are operating leases. Contractual arrangements are evaluated at inception
to determine if the agreement contains a lease. The leases contain renewal options, early termination, rent abatement, and escalation
clauses that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. We include options to extend or terminate leases
in the right-of-use (“ROU”) operating lease asset and liability when it is reasonably certain we will exercise these options.
As of October 31, 2025, lease options were not included in the calculation of the ROU operating lease asset and liability. ROU assets
and lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments which will factor in certain qualifying initial
direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives that may have been received. Lease expenses for operating lease payments are recognized
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company elected the practical expedient for short-term leases which allows leases with terms of twelve months or less to be recorded
on a straight-line basis over the lease term without being recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has also elected
the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component.

The Company does not generally have access to the rate implicit in the leases and therefore selected a rate that is reflective of companies
with similar credit ratings for secured debt as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of October
31, 2025 and 2024, was 7.08 % and 6.38 %, respectively.

G – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The
Company operates under two reportable segments based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries:
(1) FEI-NY – operates out of New York and its operations consist principally of precision time and frequency control products used in three principal markets: communication satellites (both commercial and U.S. Government-funded); terrestrial cellular telephone or other ground-based telecommunication stations; and other components and systems for the U.S. military.
The FEI-NY segment also includes the operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, FEI-Elcom. FEI-Elcom, in addition to its own product line, provides design and technical support for the FEI-NY segment’s communication satellite business.
(2)
FEI-Zyfer
– operates out of California and its products incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies into systems and
subsystems for secure communications, both government and commercial, and other locator applications. This segment also provides
sales and support for the Company’s wireline telecommunications family of products, including US5G, which are sold in the U.S.
market.
The
Company measures segment performance based on total revenues and profits generated by each geographic location rather than on the specific
types of customers or end-users. Consequently, the Company determined that the segments indicated above most appropriately reflect
the way the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) views the business.
The
accounting policies of the two segments are the same as those described in “Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies” to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as our CODM who evaluates
the segment performance and allocates resources to them based on operating income which is defined as income before investment income,
interest expense, other expenses, and income taxes. Operating income by segment is used to monitor segment results compared to prior
periods, forecasted results, and the annual plan.

NOTE
H – INVESTMENT IN MORION, INC.
The
Company has an investment in Morion, Inc., a privately-held Russian company, which manufactures high precision quartz resonators and
crystal oscillators. The Company has also previously licensed certain technology to Morion.
The
Company’s investment consists of 4.6 % of Morion’s outstanding shares. However, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and resulting
sanctions, the future status of FEI’s investment in Morion became uncertain and accordingly, such investment was entirely written
off in fiscal year 2022. Accordingly, the carrying value of this investment was $ 0 as of October 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025.
During
the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not acquire any product from Morion. During the three and six
months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not receive dividends from Morion.
Prior
purchases of materials from Morion consisted primarily of quartz crystal blanks, which were used in the fabrication of quartz resonators.
However, on October 30, 2024, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Morion as a Specially
Designated National, resulting in the blocking of all Morion property and property interests. As a result, the Company has terminated
all commercial relationships with Morion, including the licensing of technology to Morion and the purchase of any products from Morion.
The Company has established alternate sources of supply with respect to items previously acquired from Morion. The Company is also capable
of fabricating the crystal blanks in-house.
NOTE
I – RESTRICTED CASH
As
of October 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, restricted cash consisted of approximately $ 1.4 million, in both periods, primarily related to
a letter of credit required for contractual restrictions during the period of performance for one of the Company’s contracts. Restricted
cash is classified as current or non-current based on the remaining performance period of the contract.

NOTE K – DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise
from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future.
On July 4, 2025, President
Trump signed H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) into law. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company accounted
for the tax effects of changes in tax law in the period of enactment during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The OBBBA made changes
to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to: (1) allowing taxpayers to fully deduct domestic research expenditures for tax years
beginning after December 31, 2024, (2) provides a catch-up relief provision for taxpayers to accelerate deductions for unamortized domestic
research expenditures, (3) provides a permanent provision for 100 % bonus depreciation deductions for most tangible personal property with
a recovery period of 20 years or less, acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, and (4) for tax years beginning after December
31, 2024, restores Adjusted Taxable Income by adding back amortization and depreciation to calculate the limitation on interest deductions
(effectively returning to EBITDA).
As required by the authoritative
guidance on accounting for income taxes, we evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting
date. We consider all positive and negative evidence, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established
when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is
sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable, we establish a valuation allowance. In general,
the favorable research and expenditure provisions and permanent bonus depreciation provision will allow the Company to accelerate deductions
and reduce cash taxes. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on our provision or effective tax rate as of October
31, 2025. We continue to evaluate the OBBBA and its requirements, as well as its application to our business and its impact on cash taxes
and our effective tax rate.
As of October 31, 2025, the
Company maintains a valuation allowance of $ 1.4 million primarily against certain deferred tax assets, including state tax credits and
capital losses because the realization of these tax attributes requires sufficient taxable income be sourced to the respective state jurisdiction
and capital gain income is required to utilize capital losses. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may
be required to adjust its existing valuation allowance resulting in a change to deferred income tax expense.
NOTE L – PRODUCT WARRANTIES
The Company generally provides
its customers with a one-year warranty regarding the manufactured quality and functionality of its products. The Company establishes warranty
reserves based on its product history, current information on repair costs and annual sales levels. As of October 31, 2025 and April 30,
2025, respectively, changes in the carrying amount of accrued product warranty costs, reported in accrued expenses on the consolidated

Item 2. Management ’ s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
“Safe Harbor ” Statement
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 :
The statements in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) regarding future earnings and operations and other statements relating to the future constitute
“forward-looking” statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to, our inability to integrate operations
and personnel, actions by significant customers or competitors, general domestic and international economic conditions, reliance on key
customers, including the U.S government, continued acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace, competitive factors,
new products and technological changes, product prices and raw material costs, dependence upon third-party vendors, other supply chain
related issues, increasing costs for materials, operating related expenses, competitive developments, changes in manufacturing and transportation
costs, the availability of capital, the outcome of any litigation and arbitration proceedings, and failure to maintain an effective system
of internal controls over financial reporting. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q and in Part
I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (the “Form
10-K”) include additional factors that could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from
time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all these factors on the Company’s business, financial
condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking
statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and any other public
statement made by the Company or its management may turn out to be incorrect. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company believes its most
critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue and costs on production contracts and the valuation of inventory. Both
of these areas require the Company to make use of reasonable estimates including estimating the cost to complete a contract, the realizable
value of its inventory and the market value of its products. Changes in estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position and results of operations. The Company’s significant accounting policies did not change during the three and
six months ended October 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are reported in operating
results predominantly over time using the cost-to-cost method. Under this method, revenue is recorded based upon the ratio that incurred
costs bear to total estimated contract costs with related cost of revenues recorded as the costs are incurred. Each month management reviews
estimated contract costs through a process of aggregating actual costs incurred and estimating additional costs to completion based upon
the current available information regarding labor, outside services, materials, overhead costs, and status of the contract. The effect
of any change in the estimated gross margin rate (“GM Rate”) for a contract is reflected in revenues in the period in which
the change is known. Provisions for the full amount of anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.
Significant judgment is used
in evaluating the financial information for certain contracts to determine an appropriate budget and estimated cost. The Company evaluates
this information continuously and bases its judgments on historical experience, design specifications, and expected costs for material
and labor.
Inventories
In accordance with industry
practice, inventoried costs contain amounts relating to contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of which will not
be realized within one year. Inventory write downs are established for slow-moving materials based on percentage of usage over a
ten-year period, obsolete items on a gradual basis over five years with no usage and costs incurred on programs for which production-level
orders cannot be determined as probable. Such write-downs are based upon management’s experience and estimates for future
business. Any changes arising from revised estimates are reflected in cost of revenues in the period the revision is made.

Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes
in the U.S. and significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities
and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. We monitor
the realizability of our deferred tax assets taking into account all relevant factors at each reporting period. In completing our assessment
of realizability of our deferred tax assets, we consider our history of income (loss) measured at pre-tax income (loss) adjusted for permanent
book-tax differences on a jurisdictional basis, volatility in actual earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation
in recent prior years and impacts of the timing of reversal of existing temporary differences. We also rely on our assessment of the Company’s
projected future results of business operations, including uncertainty in future operating results relative to historical results, volatility
in the market price of our common stock and its performance over time, variable macroeconomic conditions impacting our ability to forecast
future taxable income, and changes in business that may affect the existence and magnitude of future taxable income. Our valuation allowance
assessment is based on our best estimate of future results considering all available information.
Our provision for or benefit
from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if
any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if
our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.

For the three months ended
October 31, 2025, revenues from commercial and U.S. Government communication satellite programs accounted for approximately 27% of consolidated
revenues compared to approximately 59% of consolidated revenues during this same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenues are recognized
primarily over time under the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method. Revenues from the satellite market are recorded in
the FEI-NY segment. Revenues from non-space U.S. Government/Department of Defense (“DOD”) customers, which are recorded in
both the FEI-NY and FEI-Zyfer segments, accounted for approximately 70% of consolidated revenues for the three months ended October, 31,
2025 compared to approximately 37% of consolidated revenue during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Other commercial and industrial
revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2025 accounted for approximately 3% of consolidated revenue compared to 4% in the same
period of the prior fiscal year.
The revenue for the three
months ended October, 31, 2025 was higher than revenues in the prior period due to an increase in non-space DOD products, in the FEI-Zyfer
segment. This increase was in both shipment-based products as well as products accounted for under the POC method.
For the six months ended October
31, 2025, revenues from commercial and U.S. Government communication satellite programs accounted for approximately 36% of consolidated
revenues compared to approximately 57% of consolidated revenues during this same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenues from non-space
U.S. Government/DOD customers accounted for approximately 61% of consolidated revenues for the six months ended October, 31, 2025 compared
to approximately 39% of consolidated revenue during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Other commercial and industrial revenues
for the six months ended October 31, 2025 accounted for approximately 3% of consolidated revenue compared to 4% in the same period of
the prior fiscal year. The slight increase in revenue for this six month period, compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year,
was attributable to the FEI-Zyfer segment and the increased demand for non-space DOD products.

year. The decrease in GM and GM Rate were attributable to a change in the mix of high margin production satellite programs in the prior
year periods versus lower margin programs with significant non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) effort during the three and six
months ended October 31, 2025.

For the three months ended
October 31, 2025 and 2024, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately 21% of consolidated
revenues in both periods. For the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, SG&A expenses were approximately 23% and 20%, respectively,
of consolidated revenues. The increase in SG&A expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2025 was due to fluctuations in
the various expense accounts that make up SG&A. For the six months ended October 31, 2025 an increase in payroll related expenses,
including stock-based compensation, and investments in the future growth of the Company, including expansion into Colorado and Quantum
sensing, resulted in increased SG&A expenses. These increased SG&A expenses are expected to continue through the remainder of
fiscal year 2026.

On July 4, 2025, President
Trump signed the OBBBA into law. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company accounted for the tax effects of changes in tax law in the
period of enactment during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The OBBBA made changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited
to: (1) allowing taxpayers to fully deduct domestic research expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, (2) provides
a catch-up relief provision for taxpayers to accelerate deductions for unamortized domestic research expenditures, (3) a permanent provision
for 100% bonus depreciation deductions for most tangible personal property with a recovery period of 20 years or less, acquired and placed
in service after January 19, 2025, and (4) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, restores Adjusted Taxable Income by adding
back amortization and depreciation to calculate the limitation on interest deductions (effectively returning to EBITDA).
The estimated annual effective
tax rate for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 is 21.69%. This calculation reflects an estimated income tax expense based on our current
fiscal year annual pretax income forecast which includes non-deductible expenses, estimated research and development credits, and state
income taxes. The estimate of the annual effective tax rate is based on evaluations of possible future events and may be subject to revision
in future reporting periods.
For the three months ending
October 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $30,644 which includes a discrete income tax benefit of $418,766. The
discrete income tax benefit is primarily due to stock compensation windfall deductions and a remeasurement of the net deferred tax asset
due to a new state filing. The calculation of the overall income tax provision consists of current U.S. federal and state income taxes.
For the three months ending October 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $138,592 which included a discrete tax income
benefit of $9,577.
For the six months ended October
31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $107,915 which includes a discrete tax benefit of $612,685. The discrete income
tax benefit is primarily due to stock compensation windfall deductions and a remeasurement of the net deferred tax asset due to a new
state filing. The calculation of the overall income tax provision consists of current U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the six
months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $271,522 which includes a discrete tax benefit of $4,222.

The effective tax rate for
the three months ended October 31, 2025 was an income tax benefit of 1.73% on pretax income of $1.8 million compared to an income tax
provision of 4.96% on pretax income of $2.8 million in the comparable prior fiscal year period. The effective tax rate for the three months
ended October 31, 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, state income taxes,
R&D credits and discrete items.
The effective tax rate for
the six months ended October 31, 2025 was an income tax benefit of 4.64% on pretax income of $2.3 million compared to an income tax provision
of 5.07% on pretax income of $5.4 million in the comparable prior fiscal year period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
October 31, 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses, state income taxes, R&D
credits and discrete items.

decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 as compared to the prior fiscal year period
was primarily due to timing of billings and cash collections and a decrease in net income. For the six months ended October 31,
2025 and 2024, the Company incurred approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of non-cash operating expenses including
amortization of ROU assets, depreciation and amortization, inventory net realizable value adjustments, deferred compensation, and accruals
for employee benefit programs.
Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, all relating
to purchases of capital expenditures.

activities for the six months ended October 31, 2025 was $1.0 million, all related to purchase of treasury stock. Net cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended October 31, 2024 was $9.7 million, of which $9.6 million was related to the payout of a special cash
dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock paid on August 29, 2024.
In March 2005, the Company’s
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. On September 9,
2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization in the amount of $20.0 million. Under this
new share repurchase authorization, the Company’s shares of common stock may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to
time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions or other means. This repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. The new share repurchase
authorization replaced the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization under which approximately $0.6 million remained. This
new share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.
During the three months ended
October 31, 2025, the Company acquired 10,219 shares at a weighted average share price of $36.72 per share. The Company acquired these
shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of previously granted RSU awards. As of October 31, 2025, the Company
had repurchased approximately $0.4 million of its common stock out of the $20.0 million authorized under the new share repurchase authorization.

The Company will continue
to expend resources for R&D to develop, improve and acquire products for space applications, guidance and targeting systems, and communication
systems that management believes will result in future growth and profitability. The Company anticipates securing additional customer
funding for a portion of its R&D activities and will allocate internal funds depending on market conditions and identification of
new opportunities. The Company expects internally generated cash will be adequate to fund these R&D efforts. The Company
may also pursue acquisitions to expand its range of products and may use internally generated cash and external funding in connection
with such acquisitions.
As of October 31, 2025, the
Company’s consolidated funded backlog was approximately $82 million compared to approximately $70 million at April 30, 2025. Approximately
69% of the backlog, as of October 31, 2025, is expected to be realized in the next twelve months. The Company excludes from
backlog any contracts or awards for which it has not received authorization to proceed. On fixed price contracts, the Company excludes
any unfunded portion. Over time, as partially funded contracts become fully funded, the Company will add the additional funding to its
backlog. The backlog is subject to change for various reasons, including possible cancellation of orders, change orders, terms of the
contracts and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenues
or profits (losses) which may be realized when the results of such contracts are reported.
The Company believes that
its liquidity is adequate to meet its short-term operating and investment needs through at least December 12,
2026 and its long-term operation and investment needs for the foreseeable future thereafter.
The Company does not have
any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
