(“Kinetic”), which is engaged in the production of industrial knives and hardened wear products for the tissue and metals industries, Precision Metal Works, Inc. (“PMW”), which is engaged in metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions across diverse industries, including appliance, automotive, hardware, electrical, electronic, medical products, and devices, and Central Steel Fabricators, LLC ("Central Steel"), a Chicago-based manufacturer of specialized fabricated metal products primarily for data centers and the communications industry. PMW reports on a 13-week quarter, as opposed to the Company's calendar quarter reporting. However, the Company has determined that the difference in reporting periods has no material effect on its reported financial results.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. The financial information included in these statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of September 30, 2024 and for the fiscal year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition
General
The Company accounts for its sales revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 provides a five-step revenue recognition model that is applied to the Company’s customer contracts. Under this model we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify our performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price for the contract, (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised goods or the performance of the services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Retail - Entertainment Segment
The Retail-Entertainment Segment derives revenue primarily from direct sales of entertainment products. Sales are generally of a cash-and-carry nature and contain a single performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recorded at the point in time in which the sale is made. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes collected from customers. The Company recognizes the portion of the dollar value of prepaid stored-value products that ultimately is unredeemed (“breakage”) in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13 Measurement-Constraining Estimates of Variable Consideration.
Retail - Flooring Segment
The Retail-Flooring Segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of flooring products and installation services, which are recognized at the point-of-sale and over time, respectively. Retail sales are generally of a cash-and-carry nature and contain a single performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recorded at the point in time in which the sale is made. Installation services generally contain multiple performance obligations requiring revenue to be recognized over a period of time based on percentage of completion. For sales that include installation, revenue is recognized upon completion of the
installation of the material in accordance with the contract, as this method is the best depiction of when the transfer of goods or services takes place. All direct costs are either paid and or accrued for in the period in which the sale is recorded. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes collected from customers.
Flooring and Steel Manufacturing Segments
The Flooring Manufacturing Segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of carpet and hard surface flooring products, including shipping and handling amounts. The Steel Manufacturing Segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of steel plates, ground flat stock and drill rods, fabricated products, and tooling, including shipping and handling amounts. Revenue for these segments generally contains a single performance obligation and is recognized at the point title passes to the customer. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company records a provision for the estimated amount of future returns based primarily on historical experience and any known trends or conditions that exist at the time revenue is recognized. Revenue is recorded net of taxes collected from customers. All direct costs are either paid or accrued for in the period in which the sale is recorded.
Spare Parts
For spare parts sales, the Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when it ships the product to the customer or when the customer receives the product based upon agreed shipping terms. Each unit sold is considered an independent, unbundled performance obligation. The Company has no additional performance obligations other than spare parts sales that are material in the context of the contract. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized varies due to sales incentives and returns offered to customers. When customers retain the right to return eligible products, the Company reduces revenue for the estimate of the expected returns, which is primarily based on an analysis of historical experience.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires entities to (i) disclose amounts of (a) purchase of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under U.S. GAAP in the same disclosures as other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3: Acquisitions
Acquisition of Midwest Grinding
On June 10, 2024, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Kinetic acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Midwest Grinding Corp., a Milwaukee grinding house dedicated to precision Blanchard and specialty surface grinding of small to extra-large capacity. Total consideration for the acquisition was $0.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, Kinetic also acquired the building being used in the business for $0.4 million. Total consideration for both the business and building acquisition was $1.0 million, paid in cash at close.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 10, 2024, as calculated by management. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Midwest Grinding to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed (in $000’s):

Acquisition of Central Steel
On May 15, 2024, Precision Marshall acquired Central Steel. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $13.9 million, comprised of $10.7 million paid at closing, a seller note of $1.1 million, a holdback, in the amount of $0.3 million, and contingent consideration of $2.0 million paid in the form of a five-year earn-out. The consideration paid at close was funded in part by borrowings under Precision Marshall's credit facility of approximately $3.3 million, and

proceeds from a sale and leaseback transaction, discussed below. The acquisition involved no issuance of stock of the Company.
Simultaneous to the acquisition, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with Legacy West Partners, LLC, an unrelated party, for one of Central Steel's properties located in Broadview, Illinois. The sales price for the real property subject to the sale and leaseback transaction was approximately $8.3 million, with total proceeds received by the Company of approximately $7.9 million, net of approximately $0.4 million in seller's fees.
The lease agreement includes a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. The base rent under the lease agreement is $58,795 per month for the first year of the term and a 2.0% per annum escalator thereafter. The lease agreement is a “net lease,” such that Central Steel is also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the real property incurred by Central Steel. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased property, the Company currently believes it is more likely than not that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. Consequently, because the aggregate term of the lease at its conclusion will represent approximately 75% of the economic life of the building, the Company concluded that the lease is a financing transaction and a failed sale and leaseback transaction, as defined under ASC 842. The proceeds, net of closing fees, from the failed sale and leaseback transaction were used to assist in funding the acquisition of Central Steel. No gain was recognized as a result of the sale.
The fair value of the purchase price components was approximately $13.9 million, as detailed below (in $000's):

Purchase price |  | $ | 11,758 |
Fair value of contingent consideration |  | 2,000 |
Holdback |  | 122 |
Net purchase price |  | $ | 13,880 |

Under the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $2.9 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The Company anticipates all of the goodwill arising from the acquisition to be fully deductible for tax purposes.
The table below outlines the purchase price allocation for the purchase of Central Steel to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed, and goodwill as of June 30, 2025 (in $000’s):

Note 6: Leases
The Company leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various future dates with many agreements containing renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as either operating or finance leases, generally provide for minimum rent and, in some cases, percentage rent, and require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes, and other maintenance costs. As a result, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s blended incremental borrowing rate based on information available associated with each subsidiary’s debt outstanding at lease commencement. In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate, or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.
The following table details the Company's right of use assets and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 (in $000's):

As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is 9.5 years. The Company's weighted average discount rate for operating leases is 9.8%. Total cash payments for operating leases for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $14.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized approximately $12.8 million in right of use assets and liabilities upon commencement of operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

Advances under the new credit facility will bear interest at Prime Rate plus 0 basis points for lending under the revolving facility, and Prime Rate plus 25 basis points for M&E and Capex lending.

The $4.0 million term loan (“Kinetic Term Loan #1”), which matures on January 20, 2027, bears interest on the same terms as for M&E term lending as stated above.
As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the revolving loan was approximately $21.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the original M&E lending, which is documented as a term note, was approximately $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The revolving loan has a variable interest rate and matures in January 2027.

The Eclipse Revolver is a three-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of Flooring Liquidators’ assets. Availability under the Eclipse Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation.

The facility consists of $15.0 million in revolving credit (the “Fifth Third Revolver”) and approximately $5.0 million in M&E lending (the “Fifth Third M&E Loan”). The Fifth Third Revolver is a three-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of PMW's assets. Availability under the Fifth Third Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. PMW's ability to borrow under the Fifth Third Revolver is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including meeting all loan covenants under the credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank. Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility are considered Reference Rate Loans, and bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Reference Rate means the greater of (a) 3.0% or (b) the Lender’s publicly announced prime rate (which is not intended to be Lender’s lowest or most favorable rate in effect at any time) in effect from time to time. The Applicable Margin for

Note Payable to the Seller of PMW
In connection with the purchase of PMW, on July 20, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the previous owner of PMW to serve as its part-time President and Chief Executive Officer. The consulting agreement shall terminate upon the later of (i) sellers’ receipt of earn-out payments in an aggregate amount equal to $3.0 million and (ii) the full satisfaction and payment of all amounts due and that are to become due under the seller note, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms set forth in the consulting agreement. Additionally, PMW entered into two seller financed loans, in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million, which are fully guaranteed by the Company (the "Seller Financed Loans"). The Seller Financed Loans bear interest at 8.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears.
On December 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement Agreement”) to settle the Seller Financed Loans of $2.5 million, plus accrued interest of approximately $0.1 million, for approximately $1.9 million with the previous owners of PMW. The funds to settle the loans were borrowed from Isaac Capital Group, LLC (“ICG”) (see Note 16). The Company evaluated this transaction under ASC 470-50 “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that, because PMW was legally released as the primary obligor, and has no other debt with these lenders, this transaction should be accounted for as a debt extinguishment. As such, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of approximately $0.7 million. Additionally, under the Settlement Agreement, the Company was released of claims for earnout payments, as stipulated under the Stock Purchase Agreement. Consequently, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of the earnout liability in the amount of approximately $2.8 million. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the carrying value of the seller financed loans was $0 and $2.5 million, respectively.
Note Payable to the Sellers of Kinetic
In connection with the purchase of Kinetic, on June 28, 2022, Kinetic entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Kinetic to serve as its Head of Equipment Operations. The employment agreement is for an initial term of five years and shall be automatically extended in 90-day increments unless either party provides notice as required under the agreement. Additionally, Precision Marshall entered into a seller financed loan in the amount of $3.0 million with the previous owner of Kinetic. The Sellers Subordinated Acquisition Note bears interest at 7.0% per annum, with interest

payable quarterly in arrears. The Sellers Subordinated Acquisition Note has a maturity date of September 27, 2027. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the remaining principal balance was $3.0 million.
Note Payable to the Seller of Central Steel
In connection with the purchase of Central Steel, on May 15, 2024 (see Note 3), Precision Marshall entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Central Steel to serve as its President. The employment agreement is for an initial term of two years and shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for a period of one year, unless either party provides written notice of its or his intention not to extend the term at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial term. Additionally, Precision Marshall entered into a seller financed loan in the amount of $1.1 million with the previous owner of Central Steel (the "Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note"). The Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note bears interest at 8.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note has a maturity date of May 15, 2029. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the remaining principal balance was $1.1 million.
Note Payable to the Seller of Flooring Liquidators
In connection with the purchase of Flooring Liquidators, on January 18, 2023, Flooring Liquidators entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Flooring Liquidators to serve as its Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement was for an initial term of five years and automatically extended in 90-day increments unless either party provides notice as required under the agreement. Additionally, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, LLC, a Company subsidiary, entered into a seller financed mezzanine loan (the "Seller Note"), which was fully guaranteed by the Company, in the amount of $34.0 million with the previous owners of Flooring Liquidators. The Seller Note bore interest at the contractual rate of 8.24% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears beginning on January 18, 2024. The Seller Note had a maturity date of January 18, 2028. The fair value assigned to the Seller Note, as calculated by an independent third-party firm, was $31.7 million, or a discount of $2.3 million.
On February 25, 2025, Flooring Liquidators, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, and the Company entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the previous owner of Flooring Liquidators under which the principal amount of the Seller Note was reduced from $34.0 million to $15.0 million. The relevant portion of the MOU was later superseded by a Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Note.The Seller Note bears interest at 8.24% per annum effective January 1, 2025, and matures in February 2028, with interest payments due monthly beginning February 28, 2025. The Company determined that the fair value of the amended Seller Note was approximately $14.0 million, or a discount of $1.0 million. In an event of default under the Seller Note, or if the Company defaults in making any payment it is required to make pursuant to the Seller Note, the note holders may revoke the principal reduction, in which case the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Seller Note will increase by $19 million to $34.0 million.
In addition to the reduction in the principal amount of the Seller Note, the MOU provides for the following:
•An increase in the existing holdback principal amount of approximately $0.5 million to $1.5 million, and that no further claims against the holdback shall be made or permitted. Under the MOU, the holdback bears interest at 8.24% per annum effective January 1, 2025, with interest payments due monthly beginning February 28, 2025. Full payment of the holdback principal is due in August 2025.
•The previous owner’s title was revised to be Founder and Vice President, his employment was made part-time, and he resigned from each other office and as director or manager of Flooring Liquidators and each of its related entities. Mr. Kellogg's tenure at Flooring Liquidators terminated effective May 13, 2025.
The Company evaluated this transaction under ASC 470-50 “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that, because the change in present value of cash flows between the original and revised debt exceeds 10%, and the debt revision does not meet the accounting requirements for troubled debt restructuring, this transaction should be accounted for as a debt extinguishment. In connection with the debt extinguishment and the increase in the holdback principal amount, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $22.8 million. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Seller Note was approximately $14.1 million and $36.3 million, respectively

Note 15: Earnings Per Share
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options, and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net earnings to determine the amount available to common stockholders.

Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the effect of dilutive securities. No diluted EPS computation was made for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, as the Company recorded a net loss. Had the Company calculated diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the total assumed weighted average common shares outstanding would have been 3,155,546 and 3,168,619, respectively, and there would have been 35,000 options to purchase shares of common stock that were anti-dilutive.

Transactions with Isaac Capital Group, LLC
Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is the President and sole member of ICG, and accordingly has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by ICG.
ICG Term Loan
During 2015, Marquis entered into a mezzanine loan in the amount of up to $7.0 million (the “ICF Loan”) with Isaac Capital Fund I, LLC (“ICF”), a private lender whose managing member is Jon Isaac. On July 10, 2020, (i) ICF released and discharged Marquis from all obligations under the loan, (ii) ICF assigned all of its rights and obligations under the instruments, documents, and agreements with respect to the ICF Loan to ICG, of which Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole member, and (iii) Live Ventures borrowed $2.0 million (the “ICG Loan”) from ICG. The ICG Loan accrued interest at 12.5% and matured in May 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on this note was $0 and $2.0 million, respectively.
ICG Revolving Promissory Note
On April 9, 2020, the Company, as borrower, entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit promissory note whereby ICG agreed to provide the Company with a $1.0 million revolving credit facility. On June 23, 2022, the amount of available revolving credit under the facility was increased to $6.0 million. No other terms of the Note were changed. On April 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment of the ICG Revolver that extended the maturity date to April 8, 2024, increased the interest rate from 10% to 12% per annum, and decreased the amount of available revolving credit under the facility to $1.0 million. On January 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment of the ICG Revolver that extended the maturity date to April 8, 2025 and increased the amount of available revolving credit under the facility to $5.0 million.

On Apr 8, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the ICG Revolver, which (i) extended the maturity date to April 8, 2030, (ii) increased the maximum credit amount under the facility to $12.0 million, and (iii) established a Fixed Conversion Price of $7.85 per share for obligations outstanding under the ICG Revolver. The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50 and concluded that the transaction represented an extinguishment of the existing debt given that the amendment introduced a substantive conversion feature. Management assessed that the fair value of the amended instrument as of the amendment date. That assessment indicated that the fair value of the amended note, inclusive of the conversion feature, exceeded the fair value of the note without the conversion feature by approximately $6.0 million, which was treated as a non-cash capital contribution from the lender for accounting purposes because the lender was the majority shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the Company recorded the excess as a distribution from Retained Earnings, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements Of Changes In Stockholders’ Equity as an “In-Substance Distribution”.
As of June 30, 2025, Jon Isaac had the contractual right to acquire up to 1,245,030 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the amended terms of the ICG Revolving Promissory Note (the “ICG Revolver”), as discussed below, based on the outstanding balance of the debt as of that date. As of June 30, 2025, no obligations under the ICG Revolver have been converted into the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the ICG Revolver was $9.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The $0.7 million discount is being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest rate method, as required by U.S. GAAP, over the term of the note. The ICG PMW Note matures on Dec 17, 2029, and bears interest at the contractual rate of 12.0% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on the first business day of each month commencing on January 2, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the balance on this loan was approximately $2.6 million.

Litigation
SEC Investigation
On February 21, 2018, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC and a letter from the SEC stating that it was conducting an investigation. The subpoena requested documents and information concerning, among other things, the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, the acquisition of Marquis Industries, Inc., Vintage Stock, Inc., and ApplianceSmart, Inc., and the change in auditors. On August 12, 2020, three of the Company’s corporate executive officers (together, the “Executives”) each received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s SEC investigation. On October 7, 2020, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the SEC investigation. The Wells Notices related to, among other things, the Company’s reporting of its financial performance for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, certain disclosures related to executive compensation, and its previous acquisition of ApplianceSmart, Inc. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any

law. The Wells Notices informed the Company and the Executives that the SEC Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company and each of the Executives to allege certain violations of the federal securities laws. On October 1, 2018, the Company received a letter from the SEC requesting information regarding a potential violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based upon the timing of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018. The Company cooperated fully with the SEC inquiry and provided a response to the SEC on October 26, 2018.
On August 2, 2021, the SEC filed a civil Complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and two of its executive officers – Jon Isaac, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the “Company Defendants”) as well as certain other related third parties (the “SEC Complaint”). The SEC Complaint alleges various financial, disclosure, and reporting violations related to income and earnings per share data, purported undisclosed stock promotion and trading, purported inaccurate disclosure regarding beneficial ownership of common stock, and undisclosed executive compensation from 2016 through 2018. The violations are brought under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5; Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-14, 13a-13, 13b2-1, 13b2-2; Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-3; and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions against the Company Defendants, permanent officer-and-director bars, disgorgement of profits, and civil penalties. The foregoing is only a general summary of the SEC Complaint, which may be accessed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2021/lr25155.htm.
On October 1, 2021, the Company Defendants and third-party defendants moved to dismiss the SEC complaint. On September 7, 2022, the court denied the Company Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, but granted one of the third-party defendant’s Motions to Dismiss, granting the SEC leave to file an Amended Complaint. On September 21, 2022, the SEC filed an Amended Complaint to which the Company Defendants filed an Answer on October 11, 2022, denying liability. The court subsequently entered a discovery scheduling order and the parties exchanged initial disclosures. The parties participated in a mediation in June 2023. The mediation was not successful. Fact discovery was completed on May 20, 2024. The parties completed expert discovery in September 2024 and filed cross Motions for Summary Judgment in October 2024. We expect it will take a number of months for the court to rule on the motions, during which time much of the activity in the case will be on pause.
Sieggreen Class Action
On August 13, 2021, Daniel E. Sieggreen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated claimants (the "Plaintiff"), filed a class action Complaint for violation of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, naming the Company, Jon Isaac, the Company's current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the "Company Defendants"). The allegations asserted are similar to those in the SEC Complaint. Among other sought relief, the complaint seeks damages in connection with the purchases and sales of the Company’s securities between December 28, 2016 and August 3, 2021. As of December 17, 2021, the judge granted a stipulation to stay proceedings pending the resolutions of the Motions to Dismiss in the SEC Complaint. On February 1, 2023, the final Motion to Dismiss relating to the SEC Complaint was denied, which was subsequently noticed in the Sieggreen action on February 2, 2023. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss was heard and granted with Leave to Amend on September 30, 2024. The Second Amended Complaint was filed on October 31, 2024. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on December 16, 2024 and the briefing is complete. A hearing on the motion has not been set.
Holdback Matter
On October 10, 2022, a representative for the former shareholders of Precision Industries, Inc. filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleged that the Company violated the terms of an agreement and plan of merger dated July 14, 2020, by failing to pay the shareholders a certain indemnity holdback of $2,500,000. The Chancery Court dismissed that action for lack of jurisdiction. On January 12, 2023, the representative re-filed the same action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. On October 26, 2023, the Company counterclaimed against the representative and all represented shareholders for fraudulently misrepresenting the seller’s inventory and accounting methodology and asserting damages in excess of $4,500,000. On April 10, 2024, the District Court dismissed the individual shareholders, leaving intact the Company's misrepresentation claims against the shareholder representative. The Court denied the plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend to assert statute of limitations defenses. On May 2, 2025, the parties entered into a Settlement and Release agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay the shareholder representative $850,000 in four installments, with the last installment due on December 15, 2025. Subject to the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement, each party shall be deemed to have released the other party from any and all liabilities, obligations, actions, suits, judgments, claims, causes of action, and demands arising from, in connection with or related to the claims asserted. In connection with the Settlement and Release Agreement, the Company recorded a

gain in the amount of approximately $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, net of related expenses incurred, related to the balance of the indemnity holdback amount.
Wage and Hour Matter
On July 27, 2022, Irma Sanchez, a former employee of Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“Elite Builders”), filed a class action Complaint against Elite Builders in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, which case was transferred to Stanislaus Count. The Complaint alleges that Elite Builders failed to pay all minimum and overtime wages, failed to provide lawful meal periods and rest breaks, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, and failed to pay all wages due upon separation as required by California law. The Complaint was later amended as a matter of right on October 4, 2022. Further, Ms. Sanchez has put the Labor & Workforce Development Agency on notice to exhaust administrative remedies and enable her to bring an additional claim under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, which permits an employee to assert a claim for violations of certain California Labor Code provisions on behalf of all aggrieved employees to recover statutory penalties. The parties agreed to mediation and have exchanged materials relevant to a mediation that will be held in the Fall of 2025.
General
The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As applicable, liabilities pertaining to these matters, that are probable and estimable, have been accrued.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP"). Preparation of these statements requires us to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant and material impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are based on management's experience and other information available prior to the issuance of our financial statements. Our actual realized results may differ materially from management’s initial estimates as reported. Our critical and significant accounting policies include Trade and Other Receivables, Inventories, Goodwill, Revenue Recognition, Fair Value Measurements, Income Taxes. For a summary of our significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements – Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 2 – summary of significant accounting policies in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’ ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures, and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company's financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by U.S. GAAP, and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss and is not indicative of our results of operations, or of cash flows available to fund all our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As companies often define non-U.S. GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Revenue increased primarily due to changes in product mix toward new products, which typically have higher selling prices. The increase in the sales of new products with lower margins contributed to a slight decrease in gross margin to 57.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 57.9% for the prior-year period.

The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the disposition of certain Johnson stores in May 2024, as well as decreased demand due to broader economic conditions. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was 35.5%, compared to 36.6% for the prior-year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a change in the product mix.

Gross margin was 23.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 15.8% for the prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to strategic price increases as well as the acquisition of Central Steel, which has historically generated higher margins.

Corporate and Other Segment
The Corporate and Other segment operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $6,000 compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million in the prior-year period. The change in operating income is due to the reallocation of certain costs from the Corporate holding company level to the segment level, along with a reduction in expenses as compared to the prior-year period.

increases, as well as the acquisition of Central Steel. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $5.6 million, compared to approximately $3.2 million in the prior-year period.
Corporate and Other Segment
The Corporate and Other segment operating loss was approximately $2.9 million and $6.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $13.2 million, an increase of approximately $7.1 million, or 115.4%, compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to decreases in operating expenses due to targeted cost reduction initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $25.4 million, an increase of approximately $6.1 million, or 31.7%, compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to decreases in operating expenses due to targeted cost reduction initiatives.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we had total cash on hand of approximately $7.6 million and approximately $29.5 million of available borrowing under our revolving credit facilities. As we continue to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature, and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities, and funds available under our asset-based revolver lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to do the following: fund
40

Table of Contents
our operations; pay our scheduled loan payments; ability to repurchase shares under our share buyback program; and, pay dividends on our shares of Series E Preferred Stock as declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months.
Working Capital
We had working capital of approximately $66.6 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared to working capital of approximately $52.3 million as of September 30, 2024; an increase of approximately $14.3 million. The increase is primarily related to decreases in the current portion of long-term debt and accounts payable, partially offset by reduced trade accounts receivable due to decreased revenue, and a decrease in inventory purchases for the period.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Company’s cash, as of June 30, 2025, was approximately $7.6 million compared to approximately $4.6 million as of September 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $3.0 million. Net cash provided by operations was approximately $21.9 million and $13.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by higher operating income, improved collections of accounts receivable, and a reduction in inventory, partially offset by payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Our primary sources of cash inflows are from customer receipts from sales on account, factored accounts receivable proceeds, receipts for securities sales commissions, and net remittances from directory services customers processed in the form of ACH billings. Our most significant cash outflows include payments for raw materials and general operating expenses, including payroll costs and general and administrative expenses that typically occur within close proximity of expense recognition.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of purchases of property and equipment. Our cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $18.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of the acquisitions of CRO by Flooring Liquidators, Johnson by CRO, Central Steel by Precision Marshall, Midwest Grinding by Kinetic, and purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $13.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of net payments under revolver loans of approximately $9.3 million, payments on notes payable of approximately $5.2 million, payments of related party notes payable of $2.9 million, payments for finance leases of approximately $2.7 million, cash paid for the settlement of seller notes of approximately $1.9 million, and purchases of treasury stock of approximately $0.5 million, partially offset by net borrowings under related party revolver loans of approximately $7.1 million, proceeds from the issuance of related party notes payable of approximately $1.9 million, and proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of approximately $0.5 million.
Our cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $4.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of proceeds from failed sales and leaseback transactions of approximately $7.9 million, proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of approximately $2.7 million, net borrowings under revolver loans of approximately $2.0 million, and net borrowings under related party revolver loans of approximately $1.3 million, partially offset by payments on notes payable of approximately $5.1 million, payments for finance leases of approximately $2.5 million, payments of related party notes payable of $0.9 million, and purchases of treasury stock of approximately $0.9 million.
Currently, we are not issuing common shares for liquidity purposes. We prefer to use asset-based lending arrangements and mezzanine financing together with Company provided capital to finance acquisitions and have done so historically. Occasionally, as our Company history has demonstrated, we will issue stock and derivative instruments linked to stock for services or debt settlement.
Future Sources of Cash; New Products and Services
We may require additional debt financing or capital to finance new acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness or other strategic investments in our business. Other sources of financing may include stock issuances and additional loans; or other forms of financing. Any financing obtained by us may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2025, we did not participate in any market risk-sensitive commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. We believe we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases or commodity price risk. We believe we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases or commodity price risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting further described below.
Despite the identified material weakness, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Our management assessed the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) of 2013 regarding Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of June 30, 2025. Management noted the following deficiency that management believes to be a material weakness:
•Lack of sufficient controls around the financial reporting and consolidation process.
In response to the above identified weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we plan to improve the control policies and procedures over financial reporting and consolidation processes. We expect to conclude these remediation initiatives during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. We continue to evaluate testing of our internal control policies and procedures, including assessing internal and external resources that may be available to complete these tasks, but do not know when these tasks will be completed.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe

than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
