 Item 1. Business
 EACO Corporation ("EACO"), incorporated in Florida in September 1985, is a holding company, primarily comprised of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco Industries, Inc. ("Bisco") and Bisco's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited. Substantially all of EACO's operations are conducted through Bisco and Bisco Industries Limited. Bisco is a distributor of electronic components and fasteners with 51 sales offices and seven distribution centers located throughout the United States and Canada and one additional sales office located in the Philippines. Bisco supplies parts used in the manufacture of products in a broad range of industries, including the aerospace, circuit board, communication, computer, fabrication, instrumentation, industrial equipment and marine industries.
 Bisco commenced operations in Illinois in 1973 and was incorporated in 1974. Bisco's principal executive offices are located at 5065 East Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California 92807, which also serves as the principal executive offices of EACO. EACO's website address is www.eacocorp.com and Bisco's website address is www.biscoind.com. The inclusion of these website addresses in this annual report does not include, or incorporate by reference into this annual report, any information on or accessible through the websites.
 EACO, Bisco and Bisco Industries Limited are collectively referred to herein as the "Company," "we," "us" and "our."
 Operations
 Products and Services
 Bisco stocks thousands of items from more than 325 manufacturers. Bisco's products include electronic components such as spacers and standoffs, card guides and ejectors, component holders and fuses, circuit board connectors, and cable components, as well as a large variety of fasteners and hardware. The breadth of Bisco's products and extensive inventory provide a one-stop shopping experience for many customers.
 Bisco also provides customized services and solutions for a wide range of production needs, including special packaging, bin stocking, kitting and assembly, bar coding, electronic requisitioning, and integrated supply programs, among others.
 Divisions
 Bisco Industries
 Bisco sells a broad spectrum of products that it offers to many markets, but primarily sells to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). While historically, the substantial majority of Bisco's revenues have been derived from the Bisco Industries division, Bisco has also established additional divisions that specialize in specific industries and products. Bisco believes that the focus by industry and/or product enhances Bisco's ability to provide superior service and devise tailored solutions for its customers.
 National-Precision
 The National-Precision division primarily sells electronic hardware and commercial fasteners to OEMs in the aerospace, fabrication and industrial equipment industries. National-Precision seeks to be the leading global distributor of mil-spec and commercial fasteners, hardware and distribution services used in production.
 Fast-Cor
 The Fast-Cor division was established to be a distributor's source for a broad range of components and fasteners. Fast-Cor has access to the entire inventory of products that Bisco offers but primarily focuses on selling to other distributors, not manufacturers.
 Customers and Sales
 Bisco's customers operate in a wide variety of industries and range from large global companies to small local businesses. Bisco strives to provide exceptional service to all customers, including smaller businesses, and continues to focus on growing its share of that market.

 As of August 31, 2025, Bisco had more than 10,000 customers. Bisco has a diverse customer base, and no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Bisco's revenues for each of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 or 2024. For each of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 ("fiscal 2025" and "fiscal 2024," respectively), Bisco's top 20 customers represented in the aggregate approximately 17.5% of Bisco's revenues.
 Bisco generally sells its products through its sales representatives in its 51 sales offices located in the United States and Canada and one additional sales office in the Philippines. Bisco also intends to open an additional sales office in Chihuahua, Mexico in December 2025. Customers can also purchase products through Bisco's website. Bisco currently maintains seven distribution centers located in Anaheim and San Jose, California; Dallas, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; and Toronto, Canada. Each of Bisco's selling facilities and distribution centers are linked to Bisco's central computer system, which provides Bisco's management and salespersons with online, real-time data regarding inventory levels throughout Bisco and facilitates control of purchasing, shipping and billing. Bisco generally ships products to customers from one of its seven distribution centers, based on the geographic proximity to the customer and the location of the available ordered products.
 Bisco sells its products primarily in the United States, Canada, and countries within Asia and Europe. Bisco's international sales represented 11.1% and 10.7% of its total sales in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Sales to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 26.1% and 26.5% of such international sales in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Sales to customers located within Asia accounted for approximately 41.9% and 39.9% of such international sales in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Sales to customers in other countries accounted for approximately 32.0% and 33.6% of such international sales in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.
 Suppliers
 As of August 31, 2025, Bisco offered products from over 325 manufacturers. The Company's authorized distributor agreements with most of its manufacturers are typically cancelable by either party at any time or on short notice. While Bisco does not manufacture its products, it does perform kitting and packaging of existing products for certain of its customers. Bisco believes that most of the products it sells are available from other sources at competitive prices. No single supplier accounted for more than 10% of Bisco's purchases in fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024.
 Human Capital Resources
 As of August 31, 2025, the Company had 644 full-time employees, which included 429 sales and marketing employees, 97 management, administrative and finance employees, 66 warehouse and fulfillment personnel and 52 supply chain management employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
 A key element of our business strategy is to expand our operations and revenues by opening additional sales offices in new geographic locations, and we plan to hire additional sales personnel to support such new offices. We believe we have been successful in attracting and retaining qualified sales personnel for these new positions. The Company has been able to attract and retain employees by offering competitive compensation package, including health care benefit and wellness programs for employees, and providing diversity and team building activities. We believe an innovative workforce needs to be diverse and leverage the skills and perspectives of a wealth of backgrounds and experiences.
 Compliance with Government Regulations
 We are not aware of the need for any government approvals for our products. Because we use contract manufacturers, any laws regarding the manufacturing of the products we distribute will typically be the responsibility of our contract manufacturers. Prior to entering into any contracts with new manufacturers, we typically conduct due diligence to determine that the manufacturer has satisfied all such requirements. We do not believe that we are subject to any state or federal environmental laws.
 Available Information
 Currently our common stock is quoted on OTCID marketplace. We file annual reports, quarterly reports, and other information with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 You can inspect and obtain a copy of our reports, proxy statements and other information filed with the SEC at the offices of the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, or call the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 for further information. The SEC maintains an internet website at  where you can access copies of most of our SEC filings.
 Item 1A. Risk Factors
 Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are discussed below. The risk factors discussed in this section should be considered together with information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report") and should not be considered the only risks to which the Company is exposed. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for shares of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 Company and Operational Risks
 We generally do not have long-term supply agreements or guaranteed price or delivery arrangements with the majority of our suppliers.
 In most cases, we have no guaranteed price or delivery arrangements with our suppliers. Consequently, we may experience inventory shortages on certain products from time to time. Furthermore, our industry occasionally experiences significant product supply shortages and customer order backlogs due to the inability of certain manufacturers to supply products as needed. We cannot assure you that our suppliers will maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill our orders on a timely basis, at a recoverable cost, or at all, or that we will be able to obtain particular products on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. Additionally, we cannot assure you that product lines currently offered by suppliers will continue to be available to us. A decline in the supply or continued availability of the products of our suppliers, or a significant increase in the price of those products, could reduce our sales, harm our reputation and negatively affect our operating results.
 Our supply agreements are generally terminable at the suppliers' discretion.
 Substantially all of the agreements we have with our suppliers, including our authorized distributor agreements, may be terminated by either party with little or no notice or penalty. Suppliers that currently sell their products through us could decide to sell, or increase their sales of, their products directly or through other distributors or channels. If a supplier terminates our agreement, we may not be able to identify or secure another supplier for the same products on a timely basis, at competitive pricing, or at all. Any termination, interruption or adverse modification of our relationship with a key supplier or a significant number of other suppliers would likely adversely affect our operating income, cash flow and future prospects.
 We are subject to a variety of claims, investigations and litigation that could adversely affect our results of operations and harm our reputation.
 In the normal course of business, we are subject to claims and lawsuits, including from time to time class actions involving consumers, stockholders or employees, and claims relating to commercial, labor, or employment matters. We have in the past and may in the future be subject to investigations, claims, litigation and other proceedings outside the ordinary course of business. Defending these lawsuits and becoming involved in these investigations may divert management's attention, and may cause us to incur significant expenses, even if there is no evidence that our systems or practices were the cause of the claim. In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards, penalties or settlements, or become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Moreover, any insurance or indemnification rights that we have may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures.
 We generally do not have long-term sales contracts with our customers.
 Most of our sales are made on a purchase order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, our customers typically do not have any obligation to purchase any products from us. A variety of conditions, both specific to each customer and generally affecting each customer's industry, may cause customers to reduce, cancel or delay orders that were either previously made or anticipated. In addition, customers may go bankrupt or fail, or default on their payments. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions, delays in orders by customers, losses of customers, and/or customer defaults on payment could materially adversely affect our business and revenues.

 We rely on third-party suppliers for most of our products, and may not be able to identify and procure relevant new products and products lines that satisfy our customers' needs on favorable terms and prices, or at all.
 We currently rely on a large number of third-party suppliers for most of our products. Since we do not manufacture our products, we rely on these suppliers to provide quality products that are in demand by our customers. Our success depends in part on our ability to develop product expertise and continue to identify and provide future high-quality products and product lines that complement our existing products and product lines and that respond to our customers' needs. We may not be able to compete effectively unless we can continue to offer a broad range of high quality, reliable products that address the trends and demand in the markets in which we compete.
 Our business may be adversely affected by tariffs, trade sanctions or similar government actions.
 The recent imposition by the United States of tariffs, sanctions or other restrictions on goods exported from the United States or imported into the United States, or countermeasures imposed in response to such government actions, could increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell products globally, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. In fiscal 2025, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs on a significant number of countries and threatened to further increase in the scope and amount of tariffs in the event of retaliatory countermeasures, and the future of existing tariffs, and the possibility for new tariffs, remains uncertain. So far, these new tariffs and trade policies have not had a significant impact on our business operations and financial results. However, there is no guarantee that we can avoid the impact of tariff and related economic effects in the future, and these trade measures and retaliations may directly impair our business by increasing trade-related costs or disrupting established supply chains.
 The materials subject to these tariffs may impact the cost or availability of raw materials used by our suppliers or in our customers' products. The imposition of further tariffs by the United States on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken in response to additional tariffs, could increase costs in our supply chain or reduce demand of our customers' products, either of which could adversely affect our results of operations. Any increase in trade-related costs associated with such measures may impair the profitability of such international production, may strain our suppliers' ability to reliably provide inputs necessary to produce these items, and may otherwise affect our partners' abilities to provide our products at previously contracted prices. Tariffs may also indirectly impair our business by causing a negative effect on global economic conditions and financial markets. The ultimate impact of these trade measures on our business operations and financial results is uncertain and may be affected by various factors, including whether and when such trade measures are implemented, the timing when such measures may become effective, and the amount, scope, or nature of such trade measures, and our ability to execute strategies to mitigate the negative impacts.
 Increases in the costs of energy, shipping and raw materials used in our products could impact our cost of goods and distribution and occupancy expenses, which would result in lower operating margins.
 Costs of raw materials used in our vendors' products and energy costs have been rising during the last several years, which has resulted in increased production costs for our suppliers. These suppliers typically look to pass their increased costs along to us through price increases. The shipping costs for our products have risen as well and may continue to rise. While we typically try to pass increased supplier prices and shipping costs through to our customers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact, we may not be successful. Failure to fully pass these increased prices and costs through to our customers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact would have an adverse effect on our operating margins and could make our products less competitive, either of which could adversely impact our margins and results of operations.
 The unauthorized access to, or theft or destruction of, customer or employee personal, financial or other data or of our proprietary or confidential information that is stored in our information systems or by third parties on our behalf could impact our reputation and brand and expose us to potential liability and loss of revenues.
 The protection of customer, employee and Company data is critical to us. We are subject to laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments, consumer credit and fraud. Additionally, an increasing number of government and industry groups have established laws and standards for the protection of personal information. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and constantly changing requirements. Compliance with these requirements may result in cost increases due to necessary system changes and the development of new administrative processes. If we fail to comply with laws and regulations regarding privacy and security, we could be subject to significant fines, and become subject to investigations, litigation and the disruption of our operations.

 In the ordinary course of business, we receive and maintain credit card and other personal information from our customers, employees and vendors. Customers and employees have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their personal information. Third parties may have the technology or know-how to breach the security of this customer information, and our security measures and those of our technology vendors may not effectively prohibit others from obtaining improper access to this information. A number of retailers have experienced security breaches in which credit and debit card information may have been stolen. While we have not experienced a material cyber-attack, we are working with a third-party vendor to assist us in safeguarding our systems and protecting the material personal information of our customers, employees and vendors. Our analysis may not be able to adequately address or remedy the potential harm, which could result in the assessment against us for large remedial costs and other penalties, and could damage our reputation and adversely impact our customers.
 We rely heavily on our internal information systems, which, if not properly functioning, could materially and adversely affect our business.
 Our information systems have been in place for many years and are subject to system failures as well as problems caused by human error, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Many of our systems consist of a number of legacy or internally developed applications, which can be more difficult to upgrade to commercially available software. It may be time consuming and costly for us to retrieve data that is necessary for management to evaluate our systems of control and information flow. The Company is currently updating parts of the information systems within the accounting departments to enhance its reporting capabilities and to create more efficient and accurate accounting processes. In the future, management may decide to convert our information systems to a single enterprise solution. Such a conversion, while it would enhance the accessibility and reliability of our data, could be expensive and would not be without risk of data loss, delay or business interruption. Maintaining and operating these systems requires continuous investments. Failure of any of these internal information systems or material difficulties in upgrading these information systems could have material adverse effects on our business and our timely compliance with our reporting obligations.
 We may not be able to attract and retain key personnel.
 Our future performance will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of certain key management and other personnel, including Glen Ceiley, our Chairman and CEO, and Don Wagner, Bisco's President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as other executive officers and senior management. The loss of service of one or more of our key management members could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 The competitive pressures we face could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 The market for our products and services is very competitive. We compete for customers with other distributors, who sell similar or sometimes identical products, as well as with many of our suppliers. A failure to maintain and enhance our competitive position could adversely affect our business and prospects. Furthermore, our efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross margins and, thus, overall profitability. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, personnel, capacity and other resources or a more extensive customer base than we do. Our failure to compete in the marketplace can adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.
 Expansion Risks
 Our strategy of expanding into new geographic areas, including international markets, could be costly, subject us to additional risks and may not expand our revenues.
 One of our primary growth strategies is to grow our business through the opening of sales offices in new geographic markets. This strategy requires continued investment, both financially, as well as management's efforts to get the new offices operational. Based on our analysis of demographics in the United States, Canada, Mexico and countries within Asia, we currently estimate there is potential market opportunity to support additional sales offices in these regions and plans to open a sales office in Mexico in December 2025.
 In addition, our expansion into international markets such as Asia may encounter additional risks, challenges and difficulties that may not be present for our U.S. operations, including the following:

 lack of experience and expertise in foreign markets, especially in Mexico, where we haven't historically had a presence;

 the impact of tariffs, trade sanctions and other government restrictions;

 compliance with additional rules and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including export control and trade restrictions;

 economic and political instability, including trade tensions and wars;

 costs and delays associated with transportations and communications;

 coordination of operations through multiple jurisdictions and time zones; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

 We cannot guarantee that our estimates are accurate or that we will open enough offices to capitalize on the full market opportunity or that any new offices will be successful or profitable in the near future, or at all. In addition, a particular local market's ability to support a sales office may change due to competition or local economic conditions.
 We may be unable to meet our goals regarding new office openings.
 Our growth, in part, is primarily dependent on our ability to attract new customers. Historically, our most effective way to attract new customers has been opening new sales offices in additional geographic regions or new markets. During fiscal 2025, the Company relocated some existing sales offices to larger office locations within its original region. Given the recent economic uncertainty, we may not be able to open or grow new offices at our projected or desired rates or hire qualified sales personnel necessary to make such new offices successful. Failure to do so could negatively impact our long-term growth and market share.
 Opening sales offices in new markets presents increased risks that may prevent us from being profitable in these new locations, and/or may adversely affect our operating results.
 Our new sales offices do not typically achieve operating results comparable to our existing offices until after several years of operation. The added expenses relating to payroll, occupancy, and transportation costs can impact our ability to generate earnings. Offices in new geographic areas face additional challenges to achieving profitability, and we cannot guarantee how long it will take new offices to become profitable, or that such offices will ever become profitable. In new markets, we have less familiarity with local customer preferences and customers in these markets are less familiar with our name and capabilities. Entry into new markets may also bring us into competition with new, unfamiliar competitors. These challenges associated with opening new offices in new markets may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
 Our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified sales personnel is uncertain.
 Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract, motivate, and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales employees, who understand and appreciate our strategy and culture and are able to adequately represent us to our customers. During fiscal 2025, the Company added 28 sales employees and plan to continue to expand our sales team in the future. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed to fill these positions may be in short supply in some areas, and the turnover rate in the industry is high. If we are unable to hire and retain personnel capable of consistently providing a high level of customer service, as demonstrated by their enthusiasm for our culture and product knowledge, our sales could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees. An inability to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals in the future may also delay the planned openings of new offices. Any such delays, material increases in existing employee turnover rates, or increases in labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
 Financial Risks
 We may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.
 Our ability to satisfy our cash needs depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and to access our line of credit and the capital markets, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In October 2023, the Company used $31,000,000 of cash to purchase our Anaheim corporate headquarters and distribution center. As of August 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance on our line of credit, which line of credit is secured by substantially all

 of Bisco's assets. Further, the Company has a loan agreement with the Bank that financed the tenant improvements on the corporate headquarters, of which approximately $4,214,000 was outstanding as of August 31, 2025. See Notes 4 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for further explanation. Our ability to continue to secure financing is subject to our satisfaction of certain covenants contained in such agreements. Our ability to secure favorable financing is affected by various factors, including the macroeconomic environment, inflation and borrowing interest rates. In addition, we may need to pursue additional debt or equity financing or to refinance our existing loans, which funding may not be available on acceptable or favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. The securities that might be issued in any future equity financing may have rights, preferences, and privileges that are senior to our common stock. Our failure to obtain such funding could adversely impact our ability to execute our business plan and our financial condition and results of operations.
 We have incurred significant losses in the past from trading in securities, and we may incur such losses in the future, which may also cause us to be in violation of covenants under our loan agreement.
 Bisco has historically supplemented its capital resources in part from cash generated by trading in marketable domestic equity securities. Bisco's investment strategy includes taking both long and short positions, as well as utilizing options to maximize return. This strategy can lead, and has led, to significant losses from time to time based on market conditions and trends, as well as the performance of the specific companies in which we invest. We may incur losses in future periods from such trading activities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
 In addition, unanticipated losses from our trading activities may cause Bisco to be in violation of certain covenants under its line of credit agreement with Citizen's Business Bank, located in Anaheim, CA. The agreement is secured by substantially all of Bisco's assets. The loan agreement contains covenants which require that, on a quarterly basis, Bisco's losses from trading in securities not exceed its pre-tax operating income. We cannot assure you that unanticipated losses from our trading activities will not cause us to violate our covenants in the future or that the bank will grant a waiver for any such default or that it will not exercise its remedies, which could include the refusal to allow additional borrowings on the line of credit or the acceleration of the obligation's maturity date and foreclosure on Bisco's assets, with respect to any such noncompliance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
 We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, and changes in foreign exchange rates could increase our costs to procure products and impact our foreign sales.
 Because the functional currency related to our Canadian operations and certain of our foreign vendor purchases is the applicable local currency, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. Fluctuations in the relative strength of foreign economies and their related currencies could adversely impact our ability to procure products overseas at competitive prices and our foreign sales. Historically, our primary exchange rate exposure has been with the Canadian dollar.
 Concentration of Ownership Risks
 The Company's Chairman and CEO holds almost all of our voting stock and can control the election of directors and significant corporate actions.
 Glen Ceiley, our Chairman and CEO, beneficially owns or controls approximately 96% of our outstanding voting stock. As such, Mr. Ceiley is able to exert significant influence over the outcome of almost all corporate matters, including the election of the Board of Directors and significant corporate transactions requiring a stockholder vote, such as a merger or a sale of the Company or our assets. This concentration of ownership and influence in management and board decision-making could also harm the price of our common stock by, among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our common stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company. Given the significant influence of our Chairman and CEO, the Company may take actions to which minority stockholders may disagree or oppose.
 Sales of our common stock by Glen Ceiley could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
 There is currently no established trading market for our common stock, and the trading volume of our common stock on the OTC market has been generally low. As of August 31, 2025, the number of shares held by non-affiliates of Mr. Ceiley was less than 200,000 shares. If Mr. Ceiley sells or seeks to sell a substantial number of his shares of our common stock in the future, the market price of our common stock could decline. The perception among investors that these sales may occur could produce the same effect. Due to the limited

 available public float, certain investors may not be able or willing to invest in the Company's securities, which could also impact the market price of our common stock.
 General Risk Factors
 Changes and uncertainties in the macroeconomic conditions have harmed and could continue to harm our operating results.
 As a result of economic uncertainties primarily caused by inflation and high borrowing interest rates, our operating results, and the economic strength of our customers and suppliers, are increasingly difficult to predict. Sales of our products are affected by many factors, including, among others, general economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, liquidity in the credit markets, unemployment trends, shipping costs, geopolitical events, and other factors. Although we sell our products to customers in a broad range of industries, if economic conditions significantly weaken on a global scale it may cause some of our customers to experience a slowdown, from time to time, which may in turn have an adverse effect on our sales and operating results. Changes and uncertainties in the economy also increase the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable. The pricing we receive from suppliers may also be impacted by general economic conditions. Continued and future changes and uncertainties in the economic climate in the United States and elsewhere could have a similar negative impact on the rate and amounts of purchases by our current and potential customers, create price inflation for our products, or otherwise have a negative impact on our expenses, gross margins and revenues, and could hinder our growth.
 If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting or experience material weaknesses in our system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely or detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and our business.
 We currently have, and from time to time have had, material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting due to a variety of issues, including, without limitation, significant deficiencies in the process related to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, segregation of duties, sufficient control in the area of financial reporting oversight and review, and appropriate personnel to ensure the complete and proper application of GAAP as it relates to certain routine accounting transactions. As previously disclosed, a material weakness existed as of August 31, 2024, related to the Company's internal controls over the financial reporting related to our financial closing process, including manual journal entries recorded in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements related to the Company's lease accounts, and certain inventory and accrued liability accounts. Although we believe we are making progress in mitigating these material weaknesses, we may experience material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the future and may fail to maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that complies with the applicable reporting. Our failure to address any deficiencies or weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or to properly maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could impact our ability to prevent fraud or to issue our consolidated financial statements in a timely manner that presents fairly, in accordance with GAAP, our financial condition and results of operations. The existence of any such deficiencies and/or weaknesses, even if cured, may also lead to the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Such deficiencies or material weaknesses may also subject us to lawsuits, investigations and other penalties.

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity
 Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
 Our cybersecurity policies and processes are fully integrated into our Risk Management procedures and are based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (NIST Cybersecurity Framework), a toolkit for organizations to manage cybersecurity risk in its assessment of cybersecurity capabilities and in developing cybersecurity priorities. In addition to internal assessments, our cybersecurity strategy and capabilities are evaluated and audited against the NIST Framework and industry best practices by independent, third-party, leading specialists in cybersecurity. We strive to create a culture of cybersecurity resilience and awareness. This tone is reinforced with our employees through education and periodic testing. We continue to improve our programs and invest in the security of our systems, operations, people, infrastructure, and cloud environments. Our cybersecurity strategy seeks to follow industry best practices designed to ensure compliance with applicable global privacy and regulatory requirements. To protect our customers, we administer physical, technological and administrative controls on

 data privacy and security. We regularly validate our security controls by performing penetration testing, compliance audits, as well as proactive security testing to ensure our systems and controls are secure. Management also periodically briefs the Board of Directors on our strategy and roadmap in alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and we plan to continue providing the Board with regular updates regarding cybersecurity risks, threat landscape and overall program progress.
 We believe that the risks from cybersecurity threats thus far, including any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect our business, including our business strategy, financial condition or results of operations. For additional information about the cybersecurity risks, see Part I, Item 1A. " Risk Factors," of this Annual Report.
 Our cybersecurity risk management procedures are focused on the following key areas:
 Education and Awareness
 We provide required security awareness education and training to our employees and contractors with system access that focuses on various aspects of the cybersecurity world. Users of our internal systems are required to complete an annual cybersecurity awareness training and are tested for awareness on a regular basis. We also provide tailored training courses to functional technology employees and employees who process personal or sensitive information.
 Threat Management, Incident Response, and Recovery Planning
 We have established and maintain a comprehensive incident response and recovery plan designed to identify, contain and eradicate cybersecurity threats, with recovery from an incident as rapidly as possible. Our information security team utilizes threat technologies and vendors 24/7 to monitor and respond to security threats. In the event of a security incident, a defined procedure outlines containment, response and immediate recovery actions. The incident response plan is tested, evaluated and updated no less than on an annual basis.
 Data and Consumer Privacy
 Our data and consumer privacy program monitors, adapts to and works diligently to comply with changes in global privacy legislation. We have implemented technical, procedural and organizational measures designed to comply with applicable data protection and consumer privacy laws. We conduct external benchmarking, as well as privacy compliance audits, to stay abreast of developing privacy laws and understand developing risks, best practices and industry trends.
 Third-Party Risk Management
 We recognize the risks associated with the use of vendors, service providers, and other third parties that provide information system services to us, process information on our behalf, or have access to our information systems. The Company has processes in place to oversee and manage these risks. We have an information risk management program that includes a vendor risk assessment process, whereby we systematically oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats related to our use of key third-party service providers.
 Cybersecurity Governance
 Our executive management team and Board of Directors oversee our policies with respect to risk assessment and the management of those risks that may be material to us, including cybersecurity risks. While cybersecurity resilience is the responsibility of every employee and contractor, our cybersecurity program is led by the Director of Information Technology (" Director of IT "), who reports to the President and COO. Our Director of IT has extensive experience in network engineering and cybersecurity operations from both a practical and management standpoint and attends training in cybersecurity and risk mitigation.
 We provide our Board of Directors with a comprehensive annual report of cybersecurity risks, threat landscape, and overall program status. On an annual basis, the President also will report to the Board of Directors on various metrics on threat management, incident response and recovery planning, along with industry benchmarks.

 Item 2. Properties
 We have 51 sales offices and seven distribution centers located throughout the United States and in Canada and have one additional sales office in Asia located in the Philippines. We plan to open an additional international sales office in Chihuahua, Mexico in December 2025.
 In September 2019, Bisco entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement (the "Hunter Lease") with the Glen F. Ceiley and Barbara A. Ceiley Revocable Trust (the "Trust"), which is the grantor trust of Glen Ceiley, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder. The Hunter Lease had a lease term that expired on August 31, 2029. Pursuant to the Hunter Lease, Bisco has leased from the Trust approximately 80,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5065 East Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California (the "Hunter Property"). The Company moved its corporate headquarters to the Hunter Property in March 2020. The initial base rent for the Hunter Lease was $66,300 per month, which increased by 2.5% annually over the term of the lease. On October 20, 2023, the Company purchased the Hunter Property from the Trust for a purchase price of $31,000,000 and terminated the Hunter Lease. The Hunter Property was purchased with cash, funded by the Company's available cash accounts and liquidated securities. See Notes 2 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for further explanation. The Company recently leased an additional 25,000 square feet of additional office and warehouse space in a building adjacent to the Company's corporate headquarters from an independent third party.
 Bisco also leases its Chicago area sales office and distribution center located in Glendale Heights, Illinois under an operating lease agreement (the "Chicago Lease") from the Trust, which has a term that expires in May 2029. The initial base rent for this lease is $22,600 per month, which increases by 2.5% annually over the term of the lease.
 All of our other properties are leased, consisting of sales offices and warehouse space. Leases of sales offices generally have a lease term of three years and leases of warehouse locations usually have a lease term of five to ten years. For additional information regarding our obligations under property leases, see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.
 Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 From time to time, the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, we are not a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for disclosure regarding a class action lawsuit that was recently settled.
 Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
 Not applicable.
 Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 Market Information and Holders
 The Company's common stock is quoted on OTCID operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc., and was previously quoted on the OTC Pink, under the trading symbol "EACO"; however, the Company's common stock typically has low trading volumes.
 As of November 20, 2025, the Company had approximately 290 shareholders of record.
 Dividend Policy

 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report. In addition to our historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors."
 Overview
 EACO is a holding company primarily comprised of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco, and includes Bisco's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited. Bisco is a distributor of electronic components and fasteners with 51 sales offices and seven distribution centers located throughout North America and one sales office in Asia located in the Philippines. Bisco supplies parts used in the manufacture of products in a broad range of industries, including the aerospace, circuit board, communication, computer, fabrication, instrumentation, industrial equipment and marine industries.
 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 Revenue Recognition
 The Company derives its revenue primarily from product sales. Revenue recognition is determined through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.
 The Company's contract with the customer is executed with a customer purchase order and performance obligations consist solely of products shipped to customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products, which the Company's standard terms and conditions are shipping point, to customers at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these products as stated on the Company's invoice to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of returns and any taxes collected from customers. The Company generally offers industry standard contractual terms in its terms and conditions stated on its invoices and Company website.
 Deferred Tax Assets
 Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the United States. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense.
 Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our DTAs in the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of DTLs, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal, and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income.
 Inventory
 The Company's inventory provisions for obsolescence are based upon management's review of inventories on-hand over their expected future utilization and length of time held by the Company. The Company's methodology for estimating these adjustments to the cost

 basis is evaluated for factors that could require changes to the cost basis including significant changes in product demand, market conditions, condition of the inventory or net realizable value. If business or economic conditions change, the Company's estimates and assumptions may be adjusted as deemed appropriate.

 Revenues consist primarily of sales of component parts and fasteners and also include, to a lesser extent, kitting charges and order fees, as well as freight charged to customers. The increase in revenues in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was largely due to an expanding sales force during fiscal 2025, which increased by 28 sales employees when comparing to fiscal 2024. We believe that increasing sales headcount led to the acquisition of new customers and the ability to sell more products to existing customers and creating better customer relationships. Additionally, revenues for fiscal 2025 have increased when compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to higher inventory stock available and an increased demand for those products. Gross margin for fiscal 2025 has increased when compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to developing better relationships with vendors and customers, which allowed us to negotiate better pricing from our vendors and quote more products to customers with higher margins.

 Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense consists primarily of payroll and related expenses for the sales and administrative staff, professional fees (including accounting, legal and technology costs and expenses), and advertising costs. SG&A in fiscal 2025 increased from fiscal 2024 largely due to higher year end bonuses of $7,634,000 related to record sales in fiscal 2025 and to a lesser extent, due to higher personnel costs related to an increase in the number of sales and administrative employees, from 604 employees in fiscal 2024 to 644 employees in fiscal 2025.
 Fiscal 2024 included legal expense accrual in the amount of approximately $7,795,000 related to a class action lawsuit to which a settlement agreement was made. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report for further explanation. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company also recognized an impairment loss of $3,906,000 due to the purchase of the Hunter Property and the corresponding termination of the Hunter Lease.
 Operating expenses as a percent of revenue in the current period decreased from the prior year period primarily due to the impairment loss and legal settlement accrual that was recorded in fiscal 2024.

 Other income (expense), net includes income or losses on investments in marketable equity securities of other publicly-held domestic corporations, interest income (expense), and other nonoperating activities. The Company's investment strategy consists of both long and short positions. The Company experienced net realized and unrealized gains from trading securities of approximately $1,273,000 and net realized and unrealized gains of approximately $128,000 in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The trading securities gains in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 were primarily due to timing of sale of investments and general market climate of investment positions at year-end.
 Interest and other expense increased by $30,000 primarily due to a reduction in interest income earned, which was due to excess cash being used to purchase investments instead of interest bearing treasury accounts.

 The provision for income taxes increased by $4,283,000 in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, which was primarily a result of higher book income in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. The income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income decreased by 5.1% in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, which was primarily due to our prior year tax payable reconciliations and IRS refunds received in 2025.
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held approximately $738,000 and $843,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The Company also held $30,375,000 and $14,748,000 of marketable securities at August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively, which could be liquidated, if necessary. The Company on a regular basis, uses its excess cash from operating activities to purchase short term investments. The Company also liquidates these investments time to time when cash is needed to cover operating or extraordinary expenses.
 The Company currently has an available $20,000,000 line of credit with the Bank. The Company entered into a Change in Terms Agreement dated April 12, 2024 with the Bank, which increased the principal loan amount under the line of credit to $20,000,000 and extended the maturity date of the line of credit from July 5, 2024 to February 15, 2026. The line of credit has a variable interest rate set at the bank prime index rate, provided that in no event would such interest rate be less than 3.5% per annum. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The line of credit agreement contains certain nonfinancial and financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of each of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The Company expects to renew the line of credit in the coming months before the agreement expires. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of each of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

 On October 5, 2023, Bisco entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Trust, which is beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Glen F. Ceiley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and a major stockholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Trust agreed to sell the Hunter Property to Bisco for a purchase price of $31,000,000 in cash. The transaction closed on October 20, 2023.
 In April 2024, the Company engaged in a mediation concerning a pending class action lawsuit and settled with court approval for the aggregate amount of $7,795,000 during fiscal 2025. In September 2025, the Company used existing cash and cash equivalents generated from operations to fund and complete the payment of the settlement. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report for further information.
 EACO has also entered into a business loan agreement (and related $100,000 promissory note) with the Bank that is renewed annually in order to obtain a $100,000 letter of credit as security for the Company's workers' compensation requirements.
 Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 During fiscal 2025, the Company provided $17,169,000 in net cash from its operating activities. The current period cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the increases in net income, and to a lesser extent, an increase in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses. Increases in net income in fiscal 2025 is primarily due to increased sales orders and higher gross margin. Increases in accrued expenses is primarily due increases in accrued payroll and accrued accounts payable related to inventory purchases. Increases in trade accounts payable is primarily due to an increase in inventory. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by increases in inventory purchases and trade accounts receivable. Increases in trade accounts receivable increased due to increased sales orders during the period. Inventory increased due to increases in sales and inventory purchases for projected sales.
 During fiscal 2024, the Company provided $14,077,000 in net cash from its operating activities. The fiscal 2024 period cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income of $14,951,000 and an increase in accrued expenses and in prepaid and other assets. This was partially offset by increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory. Increases in accrued expenses is primarily due to increases in inventory.
 Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 Cash used in investing activities was $16,442,000 for fiscal 2025. This was primarily due to the purchase of marketable securities. with excess cash the Company accumulated through its business operations. Management expects to continue moving excess cash to investments though the following fiscal year.
 Cash used in investing activities was $20,455,000 for fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to the purchase of the Hunter Property for $31,000,000 in October 2023, which was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
 Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2025 was $843,000, which was primarily due to a decrease in bank overdraft when comparing fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2024. Bank overdraft represents outstanding checks in excess of cash held in our bank account. If the bank account is over drawn, the Company has a nightly sweep feature, which funds the outgoing cash account from the main deposit bank account. If the main deposit account does not have enough cash to cover the sweep, the deposit account is funded by the line of credit to cover the remaining sweep balance. The cash used in financing activities for the prior period is primarily due to a decrease in the bank overdraft balance.
 Contractual Financial Obligations
 In addition to using cash flow generated from operations, the Company finances its operations through borrowings from banks. These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transactions, with the result that debt agreements, including lease obligations, are recorded as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the Board of Directors and
 Shareholders of EACO Corporation
 Opinion on the Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EACO Corporation (the "Company") as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America..
 Basis for Opinion
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Critical Audit Matters
 Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

 EACO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 August 31, 2025 and 2024
 Note 1. Organization
 EACO Corporation ("EACO"), incorporated in Florida in September 1985, is a holding company, primarily comprised of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco Industries, Inc. ("Bisco") and Bisco's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited. Substantially all of EACO's operations are conducted through Bisco and Bisco Industries Limited. Bisco was incorporated in Illinois in 1974 and is a distributor of electronic components and fasteners with 51 sales offices and seven distribution centers located throughout the United States and Canada and one additional sales office in Asia located in the Philippines. Bisco supplies parts used in the manufacture of products in a broad range of industries, including the aerospace, circuit board, communication, computer, fabrication, instrumentation, industrial equipment and marine industries. All references herein to "fiscal 2025" and "fiscal 2024" shall refer to the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
 Principles of Consolidation
 The consolidated financial statements for all periods presented include the accounts of EACO, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco, and Bisco's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited (all of which are collectively referred to herein as the "Company", "we", "us" and "our"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include allowance for credit losses, provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory, recoverability of the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company on a regular basis, uses its excess cash from operating activities to purchase short term investments. The Company also liquidates these investments time to time when cash is needed to cover operating or extraordinary expenses.
 Trade Accounts Receivable
 Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount, less an estimate for an allowance for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by analyzing historical loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions, specific customer credit issues, and reasonable forecasts of future collectability. by identifying probable credit losses in the Company's accounts receivable and reviewing historical data to estimate the collectability on items not yet specifically identified as problem accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. A trade account receivable is considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding past the customer's credit terms. The Company does not charge interest on past due balances. The allowance for credit losses was approximately $ 366,000 and $ 298,000 at August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
 Inventories
 Inventories consist primarily of electronic fasteners and components, and are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost that approximates the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are adjusted for slow moving or obsolete items approximating $ 1,975,000 and $ 1,837,000 at August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The adjustments to

 inventory costs are based upon management's review of inventories on-hand over their expected future utilization and length of time held by the Company.
 Property, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements
 Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciable life for buildings is thirty-five years and five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, whichever is less. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or disposition of the asset, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
 Impairment of Long Lived Assets
 The Company's policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual basis. The recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value.
 On October 20, 2023, the Company completed the purchase of its corporate headquarters located at 5065 East Hunter Avenue in Anaheim, California (the "Hunter Property") from the Glen F. Ceiley and Barbara A. Ceiley Revocable Trust (the "Trust") for $ 31,000,000 in cash. An appraisal, conducted in September 2023 by an independent third party, valued the Hunter Property at $ 31,000,000, which was inclusive of tenant improvements previously purchased and recorded by the Company. Upon completion of the Hunter Property purchase and the termination of the Hunter Lease during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $ 3,906,000, which was the net book carrying value of the tenant improvements at the date the building was acquired.
 Marketable Trading Securities
 The Company invests in marketable trading securities, which include long and short positions in equity securities. Short positions represent securities sold, but not yet purchased. Short sales result in obligations to purchase securities at a later date and are separately presented as a liability in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's total obligation for securities sold, but not yet purchased was zero. Restricted cash to collateralize the Company's obligations for short sales was zero at August 31, 2025 and 2024.
 These securities are stated at fair value, which is determined using the quoted closing prices at each reporting date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statements of operations and represent the change in the market value of investment holdings during the period. See Note 11.
 Revenue Recognition
 The Company derives its revenue primarily from product sales. Revenue recognition is determined through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.
 The Company's contract with the customer is executed with a customer purchase order and performance obligations consist solely of product shipped to customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products, which the Company's standard terms and conditions are shipping point, to customers at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these products as stated on the Company's invoice to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of returns and any taxes collected from customers. We offer industry standard contractual terms in our terms and conditions stated on our invoices and Company website.

 Freight revenue associated with product sales are recognized at point of shipment and when the criteria discussed above have been met. Freight revenues have represented less than 1 % of total revenues in each of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
 Income Taxes
 We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, we determine DTAs and DTLs on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 We recognize DTAs to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would not be able to realize our DTAs in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the DTA through recognizing a valuation allowance, which would increase the provision for income taxes.
 We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit or expense that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
 We recognize interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB") on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.
 Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing DTAs. On the basis of this evaluation, as of August 31, 2025 no valuation allowance has been recorded.
 We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of August 31, 2025, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, Canada examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.
 Freight and Shipping/Handling
 Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of revenues and were approximately $ 6,360,000 and $ 5,530,000 for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
 Advertising Costs
 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of digital and online advertising. For fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company spent approximately $ 439,000 and $ 436,000 respectively, on advertising.
 Operating Leases
 Management determines if a contractual arrangement contains a lease, for accounting purposes, at contract inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, and the current and non-current portion of operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 The ROU assets represent the Company's right to control the use of a leased asset for the contractual term, and lease liabilities represent the related obligation to make lease payments arising from the contractual arrangement. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the contractual term. The operating lease ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term.

 Many of the Company's leases include both lease (such as fixed payment amounts including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (such as common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
 Many leases include one or more options to renew the contract. Therefore, renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. We regularly evaluate the renewal options each reporting period and when they are reasonably certain to be exercised, management will include the lease renewal period in our contractual term when estimating the ROU assets and related liabilities.
 Since most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, as defined by GAAP, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available to us at the lease commencement date in order to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company applies a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate.
 Earnings Per Common Share
 Basic earnings per common share for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for those periods have been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive common shares represent 40,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of 36,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, which were outstanding at August 31, 2025 and 2024. Such securities are included with the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.
 Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
 Assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (specifically, Canadian dollars used to record the assets and liabilities for Bisco Industries limited) are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end rate of exchange. The exchange rate for Canadian dollars at August 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 0.73 and $ 0.74, respectively. The resulting balance sheet translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are transacted at the average exchange rates for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024. The average exchange rate for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 0.71 and $ 0.74, respectively. The percentage of total assets held outside the United States, in Canada, was 3 % as of August 31, 2025 and 2024. All foreign sales, excluding Canadian sales, are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to foreign currency risk exposure.
 Concentrations
 Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk include cash balances in excess of federal depository insurance limits and accounts receivable. Cash accounts maintained by the Company at U.S. and Canadian financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, respectively. A portion of the Company's cash was held by its Canadian subsidiary. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 Net sales to customers outside the United States was 11 % and related trade accounts receivable were approximately 10 % at August 31, 2025. Net sales to customers outside the United States and related trade accounts receivable were both approximately at 11 % at August 31, 2024. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues for either of the years ended August 31, 2025 or 2024. In addition, no single customer's receivable balance accounted for more than 10% of the Company's customer receivables as of either August 31, 2025 or 2024.

 The following table presents our sales within geographic regions as a percentage of net revenue, which is based on the "bill-to" location of our customers:

 Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Certain Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities
 The Company's financial instruments other than its marketable securities include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, security deposits, trade accounts payable, line of credit, accrued expenses and long-term debt. Management believes that the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts based on their relatively short-term nature and current market indicators, such as prevailing interest rates. The Company's marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 11.
 During the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that were measured at estimated fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
 Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company's annual period ending August 31, 2025 and interim periods beginning after September 1, 2025. The Company adopted this ASU for the annual report for the year ended August 31, 2025. As a result, the Company has updated its segment disclosures in "Note 9– Segment Reporting (Topic 280, "Operating Segments")," providing more detailed information on relevant segment items in accordance with the new guidance. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not result in any changes to the Company's reportable segments.
 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses", which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance is effective, as amended for smaller reporting companies for all periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated and implemented this standard effective September 1, 2023, which had no material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which is intended to enhance transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The amendments require that on an annual and interim basis, entities disclose disaggregated operating expense information about specific categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments require that on an annual basis, entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In

 addition, the amendments require that entities disclose additional information about income taxes paid as well as additional disclosures of pretax income and income tax expense, and remove the requirement to disclose certain items that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted.
 Other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 Note 4. Debt
 The Company has a $ 20,000,000 line of credit agreement with Citizens Business Bank ("the Bank"). On May 10, 2024, the Company executed a Change in Terms Agreement dated as of April 12, 2024 (the "Amendment") with the Bank to modify terms of that certain Business Loan Agreement dated as of November 5, 2022 between Bisco and the Bank. The Amendment (i) extends the expiration date of the line of credit under the Loan Agreement to February 15, 2026; and (ii) increases the principal loan amount under the line of credit to $ 20,000,000.
 The line of credit has a variable interest rate set at the bank prime index rate, but provided that in no event would such interest rate be less than 3.5 % per annum. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company expects to renew the line of credit in the coming months before the agreement expires. No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit as of each of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024. The line of credit agreement contains certain nonfinancial and financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of each of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
 The Company also entered into the Construction Loan for the primary purpose of financing tenant improvements at the Hunter Property. The Construction Loan was a line of credit evidenced by a Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $ 5,000,000 with a maturity date of May 15, 2027. The terms of the Construction Loan provide that the Company may only request advances through July 15, 2020, and thereafter, the Construction Loan would convert to a term loan with a fixed rate of 4.6 %, which is entitled to a.25 % rate discount if a demand deposit account is held with the Bank. On July 15, 2020, the amount drawn on the Construction Loan and converted to a term loan was $ 4,807,000. Interest on the Construction Loan is payable monthly ( 4.35 % at August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024). Concurrent with the execution of this Construction Loan, Bisco entered into a commercial security agreement, dated July 12, 2019, with the Bank, pursuant to which Bisco granted the Bank a security interest in substantially all of Bisco's personal property to secure Bisco's obligations under the Construction Loan. The outstanding balance of the Construction Loan at August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 was $ 4,214,000 and $ 4,343,000, respectively. The Construction loan future principal due until maturity by fiscal year is as follows:

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

 For the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, 40,000 potential common shares (issuable upon conversion of 36,000 shares of the Company's Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock) are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
 Preferred Stock
 The Company's Board of Directors is authorized to establish the various rights and preferences for the Company's preferred stock, including voting, conversion, dividend and liquidation rights and preferences, at the time shares of preferred stock are issued. In September 2004, the Company sold 36,000 shares of its Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") to the Company's CEO, with an 8.5 % dividend rate at a price of $ 25 per share for a total cash purchase price of $ 900,000. The holder of the Preferred Stock has the right at any time to convert the Preferred Stock and accrued but unpaid dividends into shares of the Company's common stock at the conversion price of $ 22.50 per share. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holder of the Preferred Stock is entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders at $ 25.00 per share plus all unpaid dividends before any payments are made to the holders of common stock.

 Note 6. Profit Sharing Plan
 The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan ("401(k) plan") for all eligible employees. Employees are eligible to contribute to the 401(k) plan after six months of employment. Under the 401(k) plan, employees may contribute up to 15 % of their compensation. The Company has the discretion to match 50 % of the employee contributions up to 6 % of employees' compensation. The Company's contributions are subject to a five-year vesting period beginning the second year of service. The Company's contribution expense was approximately $ 1,117,000 and $ 925,000 for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing DTA. On the basis of this evaluation, as of August 31, 2025, no valuation allowance has been recorded.
 We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of August 31, 2025, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, Canadian examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.

 Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
 Legal Matters
 From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of our business. Any such matters and disputes could be costly and time consuming, subject the Company to damages or equitable remedies, and divert management and key personnel from core business operations.
 In January 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Bisco, alleging wage and hour violations and related claims. The class action covers a class of former and current employees of Bisco who were employed between January 13, 2019 and the present time. In March 2023, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint that added claims under the California Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA"). Both parties requested to stay the litigation pending mediation, which mediation commenced in April 2024. As a result of the mediation, the parties agreed in principle to settle this matter for approximately $ 7,500,000 which settlement amount, inclusive of payroll taxes, was increased to $ 7,795,000 in May 2025. In July 2025, the court approved the settlement. In anticipation of this settlement, the Company accrued $ 7,390,000 and $ 285,000 in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, and an additional $ 120,000 was accrued in fiscal 2025 to cover the remaining settlement expense. The Company made the full settlement payment in September 2025.
 Operating Lease Obligations
 The Company leases its facilities and automobiles under operating lease agreements ( one leased facility is currently leased from the Trust, which is beneficially owned by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder – see Note 10), which expire on various dates through September 2029 and require minimum rental payments ranging from $ 1,000 to $ 28,000 per month. Certain of the leases contain options for renewal under varying terms.
 On October 20, 2023, the Company purchased the Hunter Property from the Trust for a purchase price of $ 31,000,000 in cash. The Hunter Property was also previously leased from the Trust, which lease terminated upon the completion of the purchase. See Notes 2 and 10 for further explanation.
 Minimum future rental payments under operating leases are as follows:

 Note 9. Segment Reporting (Topic 280, "Operating Segments")
 The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2023 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and a retroactive implementation to fiscal 2024. The amendment enhances entities' disclosures about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
 Corporate Structure and Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM")
 Management determined that the CODM is Mr. Don Wagner, the President and Chief Operating Officer of Bisco Industries, Inc. The CODM reviews the consolidated results and allocates resources at the enterprise level. The Company's operations are conducted through its wholly-owned industrial distribution business (Bisco Industries and its Canadian subsidiary), which operates across 51 sales offices and seven distribution centers and one sales office in the Philippines. Although the business is conducted across multiple sales offices and distribution centers, management concluded that the nature of the operations, the economic environment, and the way resources are managed and performance is evaluated support a single-segment determination. Management considered the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-4 and determined that the single reportable segment is managed on a consolidated basis. Because the CODM manages the business as a single integrated unit, the management has identified one operating segment and one reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280.
 Measurement of Segment Financials
 The CODM uses consolidated revenue, regional sales reports, sales forecasting, sales and administrative headcount reports, significant operating and selling expenses, financial fluctuation analysis, forecasted inventory usage, operating income and total assets to assess the Company's performance and to allocate resources. As a result, segment amounts are equal to the Company's consolidated amounts for those metrics.
 Description of Reportable Segment
 The Company's sole reportable segment is the industrial distribution business conducted through Bisco Industries and its Canadian subsidiary. The Company's revenues are primarily comprised of product sales of electronic components, cable components, and a large variety of fasteners and hardware. There have been no changes to the internal segment reporting structure during fiscal 2025.
 Segment Information
 The Company operates as one reportable segment. The CODM reviews consolidated results to assess performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the single operating segment.

 Significant Judgments and Estimate
 The identification of the CODM and determination that there is a single operating and reportable segment required management judgment. Changes in the operational structure, management reporting practices or resource allocation methods could result in multiple reportable segments in future periods.
 Impact of the Standard
 The adoption and application of ASU 2023-07 did not change the Company's determination of operating or reportable segments, its performance measures or the way resource allocation decisions are made. Accordingly, the application of the standard had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements or the presentation of segment information.
 Note 10. Related Party Transactions
 The Company leases its Chicago area sales office and distribution center located in Glendale Heights, Illinois under an operating lease agreement (the "Glendale Lease") from the Trust, which is the grantor trust of Glen Ceiley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and majority shareholder. The Glendale Lease is a ten - year lease with an initial monthly rental rate of $ 22,600, which is subject to annual rent increases of approximately 2.5 % as set forth in the Glendale Lease. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash payments related to the Glendale Lease of approximately $ 321,000 and $ 313,000, respectively.
 On July 26, 2019, the Company entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement with the Trust (the "Hunter Lease"), for the lease of the Hunter Property, which houses the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company completed its move to the headquarters located at the Hunter Property in March 2020. The term of the Hunter Lease commenced on September 2, 2019 and ended on October 20, 2023,

 when the Company purchased the Hunter Property. The Hunter Lease had an initial monthly rental rate of $ 66,300, which was subject to annual rent increases of approximately 2.5 % as set forth in the Hunter Lease. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made cash payments related to the Hunter Lease of approximately $ 0 and $ 123,000, respectively.
 On October 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Standard Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the "Purchase Agreement") to purchase the Hunter Property for a purchase price of $ 31,000,000 in cash, which closed on October 20, 2023. The Hunter Property is expected to continue to house the Company's corporate headquarters and Anaheim distribution center for the foreseeable future. The Hunter Property was purchased with cash, funded by the Company's available cash accounts and liquidated securities.

 Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 Management estimates the fair value of its assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on the three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:
 Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the Company, Level 1 inputs include marketable securities and liabilities for short sales of trading securities that are actively traded.
 Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 are observable, either directly or indirectly. The Company does not hold any Level 2 financial instruments.
 Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The Company does not hold any Level 3 financial instruments.
 Marketable Trading Securities – The Company holds marketable trading securities, which include long and short positions that are all publicly traded securities with quoted prices in active markets. These securities are stated at fair value, which is determined using the quoted closing prices at each reporting date. Short positions represent securities sold, but not yet purchased. Short sales result in obligations to purchase securities at a later date and are separately presented as a liability in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the marketable trading securities and short positions are considered to be Level 1 measurements. All marketable securities held by the Company are level 1 as of August 31, 2025 and 2024.

 Note 12. Subsequent Events
 Management has evaluated events subsequent to August 31, 2025, through the date that these consolidated financial statements are being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.

 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 None.
 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
 (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Financial Executive, who also serves as the Company's principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Financial Executive concluded that the Company's controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2025, due to a material weakness related to the Company's internal controls over financial statement closing and reporting processes.
 (b) Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Financial Executive, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in its report entitled "Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)." Based on that assessment under such criteria, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses as of August 31, 2025, related to the Company's internal controls over the financial statement closing process, including lease accounting and reconciliations, and accumulation of information for disclosure in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and/or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 Remediation Plan
 We are in the process of developing and implementing a plan for remediation of the material weakness, including improving the capture, accounting for, and reporting of leases. We also continue to improve controls over reconciliations by implementing improved accounting software that will aid in reconciliations and monitoring of the general ledger accounts. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our future assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
 The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As such, this annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
 (c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 Item 9B. Other Information
 (b) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or " non-Rule 105b-1 trading arrangement" (as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

 Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections
 Not applicable.
 Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 Code of Ethics
 EACO has adopted a code of ethics applicable to its senior executive and financial officers. You may receive, without charge, a copy of the Financial Code of Ethical Conduct by contacting our Corporate Secretary, c/o Bisco Industries, Inc., at 5065 East Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California 92807.
 Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters should be brought to the attention of a member of our senior management or the Audit Committee as appropriate, and will be handled in accordance with the procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters.
 Director Independence
 EACO's Board currently consists of the following directors: Stephen Catanzaro, Glen Ceiley, Ellen Bancroft, and William L. Means. The Board has determined that three of its four directors, Stephen Catanzaro, Ellen Bancroft, and William L. Means, are independent as defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market's Marketplace Rules. In addition to such rules, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director (and his immediate family) and the Company to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. As a result, the Board determined that Mr. Ceiley is not independent, as he is an executive officer of EACO and Bisco, a member of Bisco's steering committee and the holder of a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. Bisco's steering committee handles the day to day operations of the Company, and Mr. Ceiley has been intimately involved with decision-making that directly affects the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
 Board Structure
 The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board as the Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board from time to time. Currently, Glen Ceiley, serves as the Chairman of the Board and CEO of both EACO and Bisco. The Board does not have a separate lead independent director, but the independent directors of the Company are actively involved in decision making by the Board. The Board has determined that the current structure is appropriate for the Company

 and enhances the Company's ability to execute its business and strategic plans and makes the best use of the CEO's knowledge of the Company and the industries that it serves, while maintaining strong independence over Board decisions and oversight through the involvement and participation of the independent directors.
 Board Meetings and Committees
 In accordance with the Bylaws of EACO, which empower the Board to appoint such committees as it deems necessary and appropriate, the Board has established an Audit Committee and an Executive Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee"). During fiscal 2025, the Board of Directors and various committees of the Board held the following number of meetings: Board of Directors – 4; Audit Committee – 4; and Compensation Committee - 1. During fiscal 2025, no director attended less than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings of any committees of the Board held while he was serving on the Board or such committee.
 Audit Committee
 The Audit Committee's basic functions are to assist the Board in discharging its fiduciary responsibilities to the shareholders and the investment community in the preservation of the integrity of the financial information published by the Company, to maintain free and open means of communication between the Company's directors, independent auditors and financial management, and to ensure the independence of the independent auditors. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which was attached as Annex A to the Company's proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, as filed with the SEC on April 12, 2016. The Audit Committee charter is not available on EACO's website.
 The members of the Audit Committee are Stephen Catanzaro (Chairman), William Means, and Ellen Bancroft. The Board has determined that each of Stephen Catanzaro, William Means and Ellen Bancroft are independent under the independence standards for audit committee members as set forth in the NASDAQ Stock Market's Marketplace Rules and the applicable SEC rules. The Board has identified Mr. Catanzaro as the member of the Audit Committee who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations governing the composition of the Audit Committee.
 Compensation Committee
 The Compensation Committee is generally responsible for establishing the salary and annual bonuses paid to executive officers of EACO and administering EACO's equity incentive plans, if any, including granting stock options to officers and employees of EACO. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a formal charter. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Glen Ceiley (Chairman) and William Means. The Board has determined that William Means is independent under the independence standards for Compensation Committee members as set forth in the NASDAQ Stock Market's Marketplace Rules. Mr. Ceiley is not an independent director.

 Nomination of Directors
 The Board does not have a Nominating Committee, but each director participates in the consideration of director nominees. Given the size and resources of EACO (and the large number of shares of common stock held by our majority shareholder), the Board believes that this approach is appropriate. The Board believes that having a separate committee would not enhance the nomination process. While the Board does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, it strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills and backgrounds so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate talent, skills, insight and expertise to oversee our business. These factors, and others as considered useful by the Board, are reviewed in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at a particular point in time. As a result, the priorities and emphasis of the Board may change from time to time to take into account changes in business and other trends, and the portfolio of skills and experience of current and prospective directors. The Board periodically reviews the performance of each Board member and concludes whether or not the member should continue in their current capacity. EACO has not adopted a charter relating to the director nomination process, however, the Board will consider candidates for directors recommended by our shareholders who meet the eligibility requirements for submitting recommendations as set forth in EACO's Bylaws. Eligible stockholders who seek to recommend a nominee must submit such recommendation in writing to the our Corporate Secretary (c/o Bisco Industries, Inc., at 5065 East Hunter Ave, Anaheim, California 92807), by the deadline for director nominations set forth in our last proxy statement, specifying the following information: (i) the name and address of the candidate; (ii) a brief biographical description, including the candidate's occupation for at least five years; (iii) a statement of the qualifications of the candidate; and (iv) the additional information concerning the candidate and the shareholder proposing such candidate as required by EACO's Bylaws. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each candidate to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Directors should possess qualities such as an understanding of the Company's business and operations and corporate governance principles. In connection with its evaluation, the Board may request additional information from the candidate or the recommending shareholder, and may request an interview with the candidate. The Board has the discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors. No candidates for director nominations were submitted to the Corporate Secretary by any shareholder in connection with the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.
 Oversight of Risk Management by the Board
 While our management has the primary responsibility for identifying and mitigating risks, the Board has the overall responsibility for the oversight of such risks, with a focus on the most significant risks facing the Company. The Board's duties in this regard are supplemented by committees of the Board. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial risk, including internal controls, and is responsible for discussing with management and our independent auditors policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including the process by which we undertake major financial and accounting decisions. Risks related to our compensation programs are reviewed by the Compensation Committee. In connection with its responsibilities relating to risk assessment, our full Board receives reports on risk management from senior officers of the Company, including the CEO of the Company, and from the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and periodically engages in discussions of the most significant risks that the Company is facing and how these risks are being managed. While the Company has not experienced any material cyber attack or breach, the Board, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, periodically evaluates cyber security risks and has retained a third party consultant to assist it in this regard. Throughout the year, the Board plans to dedicate a portion of their meetings to review and discuss specific risk topics in greater detail.
 Shareholder Communications
 The Board has established a process by which shareholders may send written communications to the attention of the Board, any committee of the Board or any individual Board member, care of our Corporate Secretary. The name of any specific intended Board recipient should be noted in the communication. Our Corporate Secretary will be primarily responsible for collecting, organizing and monitoring communications from shareholders and, where appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication, providing copies of such communications to the intended recipients. Communications will be forwarded to directors if they relate to appropriate and important substantive corporate or Board matters. Communications that are of a commercial or frivolous nature, or are offensive or otherwise inappropriate for the Board's consideration will not be forwarded to the Board. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board can write to the Corporate Secretary at EACO Corporation, c/o Bisco Industries, Inc., at 5065 East Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California 92807.

 Insider Trading Policy
 The Company has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of its securities by its directors, officers, employees and independent contractors that the Company believes is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to the Company.
 Directors, executive officers, employees and other related persons may not buy, sell or engage in other transactions in the Company's shares while aware of material non-public information; buy or sell securities of other companies while aware of material non-public information about those companies that they became aware of as a result of business dealings between the Company and those companies; or disclose material non-public information to any unauthorized persons outside of the Company. The policy also restricts trading and other transactions for a limited group of Company employees (including executive officers and directors) to defined window periods that follow the Company's quarterly earnings. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 Item 11. Executive Compensation
 The Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting with the establishment of the salary and annual bonuses paid to executive officers of EACO and administering EACO's equity incentive plans, if any, including granting stock options to officers and employees of EACO. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a formal charter. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Glen Ceiley and William Means.
 The executive officers of EACO are Mr. Ceiley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Michael Narikawa, the Company's Chief Financial Executive and Principal Accounting Officer. Due to the nature of EACO's operations and related consolidated financial results, no additional salary or other compensation for their service as officers of EACO was determined to be necessary, and no such compensation was provided to Mr. Ceiley or Mr. Narikawa during fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. However, both of them receive compensation from Bisco for their services provided to Bisco.
 All compensation for the named executive officers for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was paid by Bisco. The compensation of named executive officers who serve as officers of Bisco are determined by Bisco's Chairman of the Board, Glen Ceiley. Mr. Ceiley receives quarterly cash dividends in the amount of $19,125 on his shares of preferred stock of EACO and was paid a total of $76,500 during fiscal 2025.

 Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
 The table below presents certain information regarding beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock (the Company's only voting security) as of October 31, 2025 (i) by each shareholder known to the Company to own more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding common stock, (ii) by each named executive officer and director of the Company, and (iii) by all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. Under the rules of the SEC, the determinations of "beneficial ownership" of the Company's common stock are based upon Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 13d-3, shares will be deemed to be "beneficially owned" when a person has, either solely or with others, the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares and/or the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of shares, or where a person has the right to acquire any such power within 60 days after the date such beneficial ownership is determined. Shares of the Company's common stock that a beneficial owner has the right to acquire within 60 days are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such owner but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

 Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 Since September 1, 2022, except as described below or under Item 11 (Executive Compensation), there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction, where we (or any of our subsidiaries) were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company's total assets at year end for the last two fiscal years and in which any director, director nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 On November 21, 2017, Bisco entered into the Chicago Lease with the Trust for the Glendale Heights Property, which consists of office and warehouse space in Glendale Heights, Illinois. The initial base monthly rent is $22,600, which is subject to a 2.5% annual increase. As of August 31, 2024, the Company leased the Glendale Heights Property under operating lease agreements with the Trust, which is a grantor trust of Glen Ceiley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder.
 On July 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Hunter Lease Agreement with the Trust, for the lease of the Hunter Property, which houses the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company completed its move to the headquarters located at the Hunter Property in March 2020. The term of the Hunter Lease commenced on September 2, 2019 and ended on October 20, 2023, when the Company purchased the Hunter Property as discussed below. The Hunter Lease had an initial monthly rental rate of $66,300, which was subject to annual rent increases of approximately 2.5% as was set forth in the Hunter Lease.
 During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company paid approximately $321,000 and $436,000, respectively, of rent related to the Chicago Lease and Hunter Lease.
 The term of the Hunter Lease ended on October 20, 2023, when the Company completed the purchase of the Hunter Property from the Trust for the amount of $31,000,000 in cash. The Company agreed to the Property Purchase primarily to utilize its cash position and to reduce its corporate overhead expenses. The Hunter Property is expected to continue to house the Company's corporate headquarters and Anaheim distribution center for the foreseeable future. See Note 10.

 Item 14. Principal Accounting Services
 Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-audit services, including related fees and terms, to be performed for the Company by its independent auditor, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described under the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee also considers whether the provision by its independent accounting firm of any non-audit related services is compatible with maintaining the independence of such firm. For fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Audit Committee pre-approved all services performed for the Company by the auditor.
 Principal Accountant Fees
 During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company paid Haskell & White LLP $320,000 and $239,000, respectively, for audit fees.
 Audit Fees
 Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K and for the reviews of the unaudited financial statements included in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended during the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 and for other regulatory filings for such fiscal years.
 Other Fees
 There were no other fees billed by Haskell & White LLP during fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024.
