Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Description of the Company

Unless otherwise specified, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Art’s-Way,” and the “Company” refer to Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in 1956. Since that time, it has become a national manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Its principal manufacturing plant is located in Armstrong, Iowa.

The Company has organized its business into two operating segments. Management separately evaluates the financial results of each segment because each is a strategic business unit offering different products and requiring different technology and marketing strategies. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art’s-Way Manufacturing label and private labels. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for animal containment and various laboratory uses.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Statement Presentation

The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2026.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the three and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company uses aging categories to estimate expected credit losses on trade receivables. The Company considers the following factors in its analysis: historical loss experience, forward-looking macroeconomic factors, company credit risk including previous delinquencies, disputed amounts, and the intent and ability to pay. The Company's typical credit terms are Net 30, however, it also offers terms up to 360 days on floor plan units. The Company considers trade receivables greater than 30 days past due, but is not required to disclose past due receivables with an original term less than one year. The Company performs additional analysis monthly on amounts over 90 days past due to determine collectability. The Company has assigned expected credit loss percentages based on where the asset falls in the aging schedule. The Company's actual credit losses have been low compared to historical allowance estimates. The Company has considered the current interest rate environment and the ~~recent~~overall ~~decline~~ health in the agricultural commodity market and believes its method of estimating a higher than historical loss percentage to be an adequate estimate of actual expected losses.

The Company carries contract assets related to its Modular Buildings segment in the form of costs and profit in excess of billings. These contract assets are typically converted to trade receivables in 30 to 90 days, depending on contract terms, and are due 30 days or fewer from the billing date. Because these contract assets are typically converted to receivables and collected in less than a year, consideration for these contract assets has been included in the expected credit loss model for trade receivables.

Employee Retention Credit

The Company qualified for federal government assistance through Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The purpose of the Employee Retention Credit was to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they were not working during the covered period because of the coronavirus outbreak. The Company filed amended tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in October of 2023 in the amount of $1,620,103; of which $798,836 was related to the second quarter of 2021 and $821,267 was related to the third quarter of 2021. Because of the IRS moratorium in place on ERC refunds while filing, the Company did not record a receivable at the time of filing. The Company recorded the $1,620,103 of ERC refund in other income on the consolidated statement of operations and also incurred $405,026 of consulting fees for preparation of the credits and a tax study, which was recorded in other expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company also received $246,108 of interest income on the credits that was recorded in other income on the consolidated statement of operations.

A summary of the amounts recorded on each operating segment related to the ERC refunds during the six months ended May 31, 2025 is as follows:

	Agricultural Products			Modular Buildings			Consolidated (Continuing Operations)
Employee retention credit (other income)	$	1,370,231		$	249,872		$	1,620,103
Interest income (other income)		207,261			38,847			246,108
Consulting fees (other expense)		(342,558	)		(62,468	)		(405,026	)
Net proceeds	$	1,234,934		$	226,251		$	1,461,185

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB ") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU ") 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is ~~currently~~not ~~evaluating~~expecting ~~the~~a ~~potential~~significant ~~effect~~impact ~~that~~to ~~the updated standard will have on~~ its financial statement disclosures.

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 (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these standards will have on it financial statements.

Product Warranty

The Company offers warranties of various lengths to its customers depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The average length of the warranty period is one year from the date of purchase. The Company’s warranties require it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. Product warranty is included in the price of the product and provides assurance that the product will function in accordance with agreed-upon specifications. It does not represent a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. The Company records a liability for estimated costs that may be incurred under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience and any specific warranty issues that have been identified. Although historical warranty costs have been within expectations, there can be no assurance that future warranty costs will not exceed historical amounts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the balance as necessary. The accrued warranty balance is included in accrued expenses as shown in Note 8 “Accrued Expenses.” Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the three and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and ~~February~~May 2831, 2025 are as follows:

The interest rate floor is set at 5.00% per annum and the interest rate on ~~date of the loan on~~ ~~March~~June 1918, 2026 was 6.~~273~~23% per annum.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans

In June of 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing loans offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. One outstanding loan was executed on June 18, 2020 with a principal amount of $150,000, with a second loan being executed on June 24, 2020 with a principal amount of $150,000. Proceeds from these EIDLs were used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue from the date of inception. Installment payments, including principal and interest, were due monthly beginning December 18, 2022 and December 24, 2022 (thirty months from the date of the EIDLs) in the amount of $731 per EIDL. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the EIDL. The EIDLs are secured by a security interest on all of the Company’s assets subordinate to Bank Midwest’s security interest. Both EIDLs are governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated June 18, 2020 and June 24, 2020, as applicable, entered into by the Company or the applicable subsidiary.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses.

The Company has net operating losses and tax credits that are expected to offset any 2026 fiscal year tax liability and does not expect to have significant cash tax expense in the near future.

Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Based Compensation

On February 25, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized and approved the Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 30, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced the Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and prior plans. The 2020 Plan added an additional 500,000 shares to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards. No further awards will be made under the 2011 Plan or other prior plans. Awards to directors and executive officers under the 2020 Plan are governed by the forms of agreement approved by the Board. Stock options or other awards granted prior to February 25, 2020 are governed by the applicable prior plan and the forms of agreement adopted thereunder. ~~On February~~At 13the April 21, 2026, ~~the~~annual ~~Board authorized~~meeting, ~~and~~shareholders approved an amendment to the 2020 plan ~~to reserve~~ reserving an additional 500,000 shares for equity awards~~, subject to shareholder approval at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders to be held on April 21, 2026~~.

The 2020 Plan permits the plan administrator to award nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees (including officers), directors, and consultants. The Board has approved a director compensation policy pursuant to which directors are automatically granted restricted stock awards of 3,000 shares of fully vested common stock annually or initially upon their election to the Board and another 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock on the last business day of each fiscal quarter.

Shares issued under the 2020 Plan for the three and six month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and ~~February 28,~~ 2025 are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended

Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. On ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the carrying amount approximated fair value for cash, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable to bank, finance lease liabilities and other current and long-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the finance lease liabilities also approximate recorded value, as its measurement is based on discounting future cash flows at rates implicit in the lease. The rates implicit in the lease do not materially differ from current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s term loans payable also approximates recorded value because the interest rates do not substantially differ from current interest rates the Company could obtain under similar terms.

Segment Information

In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting," the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, has been identified as its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The CODM reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company and utilizes gross profit and income from operations to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment as incurred by each reportable segment. The Company allocates a small portion of corporate expenses from the Agricultural Products segment to the Modular Buildings segment monthly for administrative support services provided.

The Company has two reportable segments: Agricultural Products and Modular Buildings. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art’s-Way Manufacturing label. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for various uses, commonly animal containment and research laboratories under the Art's Way Scientific and Evolution Modular labels.

The accounting policies applied to determine the segment information are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Management evaluates the performance of each segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses.

Approximate financial information with respect to the reportable segments is as follows.

The Solar System Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) was for the installation of a solar energy system by Midwest Solar Installers at the Company’s principal executive offices. The Agreement was contingent on a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture under its Rural Energy for America Program of which 25% of the total eligible project costs can be paid for with USDA funds and another 50% of the project costs can be guaranteed in the form of a loan from the USDA.

We cannot provide any assurance with respect to our future performance or results. Our actual results or actions could and likely will differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including but not limited to: (i) the impact of changing credit markets on our ability to continue to obtain financing on reasonable terms; (ii) our ability to repay current debt, continue to meet debt obligations and comply with financial covenants; (iii) the effect of inflation as well as general economic conditions, including consumer and governmental spending, on the demand for our products and the cost of our supplies and materials; (iv) impacts caused by fluctuating commodity prices and fluctuating farm income; (v) fluctuations in seasonal demand and our production cycle; (vi) the ability of our suppliers to meet our demands for raw materials and component parts; (vii) fluctuations in the price of raw materials, especially steel and the impact of U.S. tariff policy and retaliatory tariffs on our business; (viii) our ability to predict and meet the demands of each market in which our segments operate; (ix) the impact of future interest rate changes on our business and the demand of our products, or interest rate changes may be different than we currently expect; and (x) other factors described from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. We do not intend to update the forward-looking statements contained in this report other than as required by law. We caution you not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. You should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed as exhibits completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

We carried a strong modular building backlog into fiscal 2026, unlike afiscal ~~year ago~~2025, which ~~drove~~has driven the revenue increase so far this year. WeOur ~~experienced continued~~agricultural ~~strong~~modular ~~demand~~building ~~for~~business ~~our~~is ~~buildings~~up approximately $407,000, or 29.5% year-on-year ~~both~~due ~~the~~to strong livestock ~~and~~prices.

Gross margin in the Modular Buildings segment for the three- and six-month period ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 was 2127.38% and 24.8%, respectively, compared to 32 41.37% and 37.2% for the same ~~period~~ periods in fiscal 2025. Our margin decrease infor the first ~~fiscal~~six ~~quarter~~months of fiscal 2026 is due to the selling of a warrantied agriculture modular building at cost, ~~and~~ project overages on site work while completing current contracts and contingencies that became profits in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 that was not repeated in the first six months of fiscal 2026.

Expenses

Consolidated selling expenses from continuing operations for the three and six months ended ~~February~~ 28May 31, 2026 were $~~437~~434,000, and $870,000, respectively, compared to $~~350~~436,000 and $786,000 for the same ~~period~~periods in fiscal 2025. The increase in selling expenses is due to increased commissions and royalties on from increased sales along with additional targeted advertising campaign expenditures in fiscal 2026. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 6.60% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 compared to 6.89% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2025.

Consolidated engineering expenses from continuing operations were $~~107~~94,000 for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 compared to $8584,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. Consolidated engineering expenses from continuing operations were $201,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2026 compared to $169,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in engineering expenses is related to additional research and development costs incurred in 2026 as we made product changes that we felt could drive more sugar beet product demand. Engineering expenses as a percentage of sales were 1.64% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, compared to 1.75 % for the same period in fiscal 2025.

Consolidated administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three- ~~month~~months ~~period~~ ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 were $1,~~038~~218,000 compared to $1,~~059~~029,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. Consolidated administrative expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended May 31, 2026 were $2,256,000 compared to $2,088,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 15.6% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, compared to 20 18.62% for the same period in fiscal 2025. Administrative expenses have ~~decreased slightly~~ increased in fiscal 2026 despite the increase in sales as we have not replaced overhead cut in previous years. We continue to be conscious of adding additional overhead while market conditions are still slow in the Agricultural Products segment.

Net income ~~(loss)~~

Consolidated net income was $~~196~~173,000 for the three-month period ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, compared to net ~~loss~~ income of $561,482,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. WeConsolidated ~~are~~net income ~~reporting~~was $370,000 ~~positive~~for ~~operating~~the ~~results~~six-month inperiod ~~both~~ended May 31, 2026, compared to net income of $1,426,000 for ~~our~~the ~~business~~same ~~segments~~period ~~through~~in fiscal 2025. In the ~~first~~six ~~quarter~~months ended May 31, 2025 we received approximately $1,154,000 of Employee Retention Credit refunds net of preparation fees and tax, which is the primary reason for our decrease in net income for fiscal 2026. Overall we did see improved income from operations for both the three and six months ended May 31, 2026. The small uptick in the agricultural market coupled with cost cutting procedures enacted in fiscal 2024 in the Agricultural Products segment has stabilized our operating ~~result~~results to prepare us for a potential future uptrend in the agriculture cycle. We continue to focus on remaining competitive with pricing, features and availability to ensure we are considered for retail opportunities. Our Modular Buildings segment's success is expected to continue as solid leads make their way to our sales team.

Order Backlog

The consolidated order backlog net of discounts as of ~~April~~July 7, 2026 was $72,~~287~~744,000 compared to $4,~~482~~407,000 as of ~~April~~July 7, 2025, a 6237.67% ~~increase~~decrease. The order backlog in our Agricultural Products segment was $21,~~774~~413,000 as of ~~April~~July 7, 2026 compared to $2863,~~016,~~000 in fiscal 2025, a 3763.67% increase. Demand has remained steady throughout fiscal 2026 for our agriculture products and is much improved from a year ago due to higher row crop prices and record cattle prices. The backlog for the Modular Buildings segment was $41,~~513~~332,000 as of ~~April~~ July 7, 2026, compared to $23,~~466~~544,000 in fiscal 2025, ~~an 83~~a 62.4% ~~increase~~decrease. Quoting activity in both the research and agriculture buildings markets have been strong so far in fiscal 2026, with further contracts expected to execute with customers we are performing design agreements for. Our order backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue to be generated from such orders due to the possibility of order cancellations and dealer discount arrangements we may enter into from time to time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of funds for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 was cash generated by operating activities including profitability and the increase of ~~customer deposits and~~ accounts payable as we incurred costs on construction contracts. We expect the collection of accounts receivable, progress on construction contracts, and reduction of inventory to be primary sources of cash for the remainder of fiscal 2026. We expect our primary cash needs for the remainder of the fiscal year to be tied to operating expenses and retirement of debt.

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, our revolving credit line (the "Line of Credit") had an outstanding principal balance of $3,~~431~~495,~~937~~438. We renewed our revolving line of credit with Bank Midwest on March 19, 2026, with a scheduled maturity date of March 30, 2027. In our most recent renewal, we negotiated an interest rate 50 basis points lower than our previous line of credit tied to SOFR to recognize expected interest rate decreases sooner. Bank Midwest's credit committee has preapproved an additional $1,500,000 of principal for the 2026 renewal, consistent with the borrowing availability of our previous line of credit, in the event we need additional funding. On June 22, 2026, we entered into a credit facility consisting of a $500,000 revolving line of credit (the “Reserve Line of Credit”). The Reserve Line of Credit is secondary to the Line of Credit and will be utilized upon the Line of Credit reaching capacity. The Reserve Line of Credit was activated to pay large equipment deposits on a new fiberoptic laser and crane system. The deposits and balance of this equipment will be converted to a term loan when installation is complete later this year. The Company expects this capital expenditure will improve quality, efficiency and reliability of our products.

We believe our current financing arrangements will provide sufficient cash to finance operations and pay debt when due during the next twelve months. We expect to continue to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms.
