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 January 31, 2026 and the results of its operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the nine months
ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. 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

** For
the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, and the three months ended January 31, 2025, there were no shares to exclude from the
calculation of dilutive securities. The exercisable shares excluded for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 were 66,000 shares as
their effect would be antidilutive.
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 nine months ended January 31, 2026, we recognized $ 1.6 million and $ 9.0
million, respectively, of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2025 as revenue. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025,
we recognized $ 10.2 million and $ 26.2 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 nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company made contributions of 7,442 and 26,615 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 nine
months ended January 31, 2025, the Company made contributions of 7,850 and 51,884 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 nine months ended January 31, 2026, was approximately
$ 131,000 and $ 396,000 , respectively, inclusive of approximately $ 21,000 and 67,000 , respectively, of interest expense. Payments made
related to deferred compensation were approximately $ 180,000 and $ 546,000 , respectively, for the same periods. Deferred compensation
expense charged to selling and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, was approximately $ 142,000
and $ 425,000 , respectively, inclusive of approximately $ 26,000 and $ 79,000 , respectively, of interest expense. Payments made related
to deferred compensation were approximately $ 183,000 and $ 541,000 , 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 $ 7.3 million at January 31, 2026 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 $ 3.9 million and $ 3.5 million at January 31, 2026 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 January 31, 2026 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 January 31, 2026, 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.

statements of operations. Total operating lease expense was $ 0.4 million and $ 1.4 million for the three and nine months ended January
31, 2025, respectively, the majority of which is included in cost of revenues and the remaining amount in selling and administrative
expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company
recorded incremental ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $ 0.4 million arising from a new lease for FEI-NY, which commenced
during the quarter ended October 31, 2025. There were no ROU assets or lease liabilities that were recorded for any leases that had not
commenced as of January 31, 2026. During the nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company did not record any incremental ROU assets
and lease liabilities as there were no leases that commenced during the nine months ended January 31, 2025.

As
of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term for all operating leases was 4.15 years and 4.54 years, respectively.
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 January
31, 2026 and 2025, was 7.08 % and 6.40 %, respectively.

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. (“Morion”), 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 January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025.
During
the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not acquire any product from Morion. During the three and
nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 January 31, 2026 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.

November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income
– Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires entities
to disclose certain expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization,

are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
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 January 31, 2026. 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 January 31, 2026, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $ 1.3 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.

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 nine months ended January 31, 2026.
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 January 31, 2026, revenues from commercial and U.S. Government communication satellite programs accounted for
approximately 25% 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 74% of consolidated revenues for
the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to approximately 39% of consolidated revenue during the same period in the prior fiscal
year. Other commercial and industrial revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2026, accounted for approximately 1% of consolidated
revenue compared to 2% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The
revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2026 were lower than the revenues in the prior period partly as a result of certain space
programs in the FEI-NY segment during the prior fiscal year that were expedited during that period due to very aggressive schedules.
In addition, several new space bookings anticipated for the three months ended January 31, 2026 have been delayed and are now anticipated
in fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
For
the nine months ended January 31, 2026, revenues from commercial and U.S. Government communication satellite programs accounted for approximately
32% of consolidated revenues compared to approximately 58% of consolidated revenues during this same period in the prior fiscal year.
Revenues from non-space U.S. Government/DOD customers accounted for approximately 65% of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended
January 31, 2026 compared to approximately 39% of consolidated revenue during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Other commercial
and industrial revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 accounted for approximately 3% of consolidated revenue. The
change in revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the last fiscal year was driven by the changes
noted above for the three months ended January 31, 2026.

21% and 18%, respectively of consolidated revenues. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, SG&A expenses were approximately
23% and 19%, respectively, of consolidated revenues. The increase in SG&A expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2026
was due to fluctuations in the various expense accounts that make up SG&A. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 an increase
in payroll related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and investments in the future growth of the Company, including expansion
into Quantum sensing, including the opening of a Colorado facility, 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) includes 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 25.10%. 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 January 31, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $127,246 which includes a discrete income tax
benefit of $568,117. The discrete income tax benefit is primarily due to stock compensation windfall deductions. The calculation of the
overall income tax provision consists of current U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the three months ended January 31, 2025, the
Company recorded an income tax benefit of $11.8 million which included a discrete income tax benefit of $11.9 million. The discrete income
tax benefit in the comparable period is primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance.

For
the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $235,161 which includes a discrete tax benefit
of $1,180,802. 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 nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $11.6 million which
includes a discrete tax income benefit of $11.9 million. The discrete income tax benefit in the comparable period is primarily due to
the release of the valuation allowance.

for the three months ended January 31, 2026 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 nine months ended January 31, 2026 was an income tax benefit of 6.24% on pretax income of $3.8 million compared
to an income benefit of 129.3% on pretax income of $8.9 million in the comparable prior fiscal year period. The effective tax rate for
the nine months ended January 31, 2026 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses,
