RF INDUSTRIES, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, and other items of gain (loss) and expense required in our view under ASC 270, Interim Reporting, have been included for a fair statement of the financial position. Information included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2024 has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited consolidated financial statements of RF Industries, Ltd. as of October 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the year ended October 31, 2024 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and potential other funding sources, in addition to cash on-hand along with the current credit facility with Eclipse Business Capital (“EBC”) to meet its obligations as they become due.
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, we generated operating income of $719,000 and $882,000, respectively, compared to an operating loss of $419,000 and $2,919,000 for the same periods last year. This is a result of an increase in sales, as well as certain cost-cutting measures we implemented to reduce our operating expenses and to help drive positive operating cash flow and increase liquidity. Efforts to reduce expenses included consolidating facilities and recognizing the related operating efficiencies and synergies in our production operations. The Company intends to continue to pursue additional continuous improvement and cost reduction measures, as well as organic growth in revenue and profitability.
On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into the loan and security agreement with EBC, as administrative agent, pursuant to which proceeds from initial drawings under the credit facility with EBC were used to repay in full the outstanding obligations under the prior revolving credit facility and term loan that we had with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Term Loan”). The Term loan was terminated upon entry into the loan and security agreement with EBC.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RF Industries, Ltd., Cables Unlimited, Inc. (“Cables Unlimited”), Rel-Tech Electronics, Inc. (“Rel-Tech”), C Enterprises, Inc. (“C Enterprises”), Schroff Technologies International, Ltd. (“Schrofftech”), and Microlab/FXR LLC (“Microlab”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of RF Industries, Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair value measurement
We measure at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3— Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
As of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Recent accounting standards
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures for the year ending October 31, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
Note 2 – Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At July 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of approximately $2.7 million.
Sales from each customer that were 10% or greater of net sales were as follows:

For the three months ended July 31, 2025, one wireless provider accounted for 11% of net sales and 17% of total net accounts receivable balance, and one distributor customer accounted for 15% of net sales and 22% of total net accounts receivable balance. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, no customers accounted for 10% or more of net sales, and the same wireless provider and distributor accounted for 17% and 22% of total net accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2024, the same wireless provider accounted for 11% of net sales and 18% of total net accounts receivable balance, and a different distributor customer accounted for 13% of net sales and 10% of total net accounts receivable balance. For the nine months ended July 31, 2024, no customers accounted for 10% or more of net sales, and the wireless provider and one distributor customer accounted for 18% and 10% of total net accounts receivable balance, respectively. Although these customers have been significant customers of the Company, the written agreements with these customers do not have any minimum purchase obligations and these customers could stop buying our products at any time and for any reason. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from these customers or the loss of these customers could significantly reduce our future revenues and profits.
Note 3 – Inventories and major vendors

Note 6 – Income (Loss) per share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the effects of assuming that other potentially dilutive securities (such as stock options) outstanding during the period had been exercised and the treasury stock method had been applied. During the three months ended July 31, 2025, we reported a net income. In periods with a net loss, the basic loss per share equals the diluted loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect. Potentially issuable securities that are out-of-the-money totaled 50,000 and 846,889 shares for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 50,000 and 846,889 shares for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and were excluded from the calculation of diluted per share amounts because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock price and other factors. We used the historical method to calculate the expected life of the 2025 and 2024 option grants. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity date corresponding to the options’ expected life. The dividend yield is based upon the historical dividend yield.

Note 8 – Segment information
We aggregate operating divisions into two reporting segments that have similar economic characteristics primarily in the following areas: (1) the nature of the product and services; (2) the nature of the production process; (3) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (4) the methods used to distribute their products or services; and (5) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment. Based upon this evaluation, as of July 31, 2025, we had two reportable segments – RF Connector and Cable Assembly (“RF Connector”) segment and Custom Cabling Manufacturing and Assembly (“Custom Cabling”) segment.
The RF Connector segment consists of three divisions and the Custom Cabling segment also consists of three divisions. The six divisions that met the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting are the RF Connector and Cable Assembly division (“RF Connector division”), Cables Unlimited, Rel-Tech, C Enterprises, Schrofftech, and Microlab. While each segment has similar products and services, there was little overlapping of these services to their customer base. The biggest difference in segments is in the channels of sales; sales or products and services for the RF Connector segment were primarily through the distribution channel, while the Custom Cabling segment sales were through a combination of distribution and direct to end customer.
As reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, we evaluate the performance of each segment based on income or loss before income taxes. We charge depreciation and amortization directly to each division within the segment. Accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets are the only assets identified by segment. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same for the Company as a whole.
All of our operations are conducted in the United States; however, we derive a portion of our revenue from export sales. We attribute sales to geographic areas based on the location of the customers. The following table presents the sales by geographic area for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Note 9 – Income taxes
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company is required to use an estimated annual effective tax rate to compute its tax provision during an interim period. However, there is an exception to the use of this method when a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate cannot be made due to the sensitivity of changes in estimates of ordinary income (loss). In that case, an entity may report the actual tax provision or benefit applicable when annual income (loss) cannot be estimated as a discrete item in the interim period. This exception was used in determining the tax provision for the nine months ended July 31, 2025.
We recorded income tax provisions (benefits) of $88,000 and ($52,000) for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 was 18.3% and 6.9%, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax provisions of $259,000 and $2,766,000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 was 160.9% and (76.9%), respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, various permanent differences, research and development tax credits, unrecognized tax benefits and change in valuation allowance.
We had $241,000 and $186,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would result in a net tax benefit of $195,000 as of July 31, 2025.
The Company assesses all positive and negative evidence in determining if, based on the weight of such evidence, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded against the deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2025. The Company has evaluated future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In making such judgements, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. After analyzing all available evidence, including the recent trend of losses, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets will be realized, and therefore, has a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company's valuation allowance was $4,146,000 and $3,962,000 as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024.
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed into law the reconciliation tax bill, commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), which constitutes the enactment date under GAAP. Key corporate tax provisions of the OBBBA include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, the introduction of new Section 174A permitting immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental (R&E) expenditures, modifications to Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, updates to the rules governing foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), and the expansion of Section 162(m) aggregation requirements.
Under GAAP, the effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period in which the new law is enacted. Accordingly, the impact of the OBBBA is reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, to the extent applicable, as the tax law changes primarily take effect for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026. The tax law changes did not change the annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 or the valuation allowance assessment. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA for fiscal 2026, and an estimate of the financial effect is not available yet.

Note 11 – Commitments
We have operating leases for corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, and certain storage units. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years. A portion of our operating leases are leased from K&K Unlimited, a company controlled by Darren Clark, the former owner and current President of Cables Unlimited, to whom we make rent payments totaling $18,000 per month.
We also have other operating leases for certain equipment. The components of our facilities and equipment operating lease expenses for the periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

As of July 31, 2025, operating lease right-of-use assets were $14.3 million and operating lease liabilities totaled $19.3 million, of which $2.0 million is classified as current. There were no finance leases as of July 31, 2025. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of July 31, 2025 are a total of $25.2 million.
Note 12 – Term Loan and Line of credit
On March 15, 2024, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “EBC Credit Agreement”) with EBC, as administrative agent, and used proceeds from the initial drawings under the EBC Credit Facilities (as defined below) to repay in full outstanding obligations under the loan agreement we had entered into in February 2022 with Bank of America, N.A. (the “BofA Loan Agreement”) and to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses, including fees payable in connection with the EBC Credit Agreement. The BofA Loan Agreement was terminated upon entry into the EBC Credit Agreement and is no longer in effect.
The EBC Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured revolving loan facility of up to $15.0 million (the “EBC Revolving Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $1.0 million (the “EBC Additional Line” and, together with the EBC Revolving Loan Facility, the “EBC Credit Facilities”) (with a $3.0 million swingline loan sublimit). On June 14, 2024, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the EBC Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) providing for a modified EBC Additional Line of $1.0 million through July 12, 2024, $666,667 from July 13, 2024 through August 11, 2024 and $333,333 from August 12, 2024 through September 10, 2024. Availability of borrowings under the EBC Credit Facilities will be based upon a borrowing base formula and periodic borrowing base certifications valuing certain of our accounts receivable and inventories, as reduced by certain reserves, if any.
In the absence of an Event of Default (as defined in the EBC Credit Agreement) or certain other events (including the inability of EBC to determine the secured overnight financing rate “SOFR”), borrowings under (a) the EBC Revolving Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate of the one-month term SOFR reference rate plus an adjustment of 0.11448% (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus 5.00%, and (b) the EBC Additional Line accrue interest at a rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 6.50%, in each case subject to a floor of 2.00% for Adjusted Term SOFR. We will be required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum for the unused portion of the EBC Revolving Loan Facility. In addition to the foregoing unused commitment fee, we are required to pay certain other administrative fees pursuant to the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the EBC Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and are subject to certain loan covenants. The EBC Credit Facilities require the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including (i) Excess Availability (as defined in the EBC Credit Agreement) of at least, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to the greater of (a) $1.0 million and (b) 10% of the Adjusted Borrowing Base (as defined in the EBC Credit Agreement), unless as of the last day of the most recent month for which the monthly financial statements and the related compliance certificate have been or are required to have been delivered to EBC, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the EBC Credit Agreement) for the 12 consecutive calendar month period then ended is greater than 1.10 to 1.00; and (ii) a capital expenditure limitation limiting the aggregate cost of all Capital Expenditure (as defined in the EBC Credit Agreement) to $2.5 million during any fiscal year. In addition, the EBC Credit Facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “except,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company, nor any other person, assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We are under no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in its expectations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect our business, including without limitation the disclosures made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the caption “Risk Factors,” and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 and other reports and filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) is based on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management believes that there have been no material changes during the three months ended July 31, 2025 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.
Overview
RF Industries, Ltd. (together with subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a national manufacturer and marketer of interconnect products and systems, including high-performance components such as RF connectors and adapters, dividers, directional couplers and filters, coaxial cables, data cables, wire harnesses, fiber optic cables, custom cabling, energy-efficient cooling systems and integrated small cell enclosures. Through our manufacturing and production facilities, we provide a wide selection of interconnect products and solutions primarily to telecommunications carriers and equipment manufacturers, wireless and network infrastructure carriers and manufacturers and to various original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in several market segments. We also design, engineer, manufacture and sell energy-efficient cooling systems and integrated small cell solutions and related components.
We operate through two reporting segments: (i) the RF Connector and Cable Assembly (“RF Connector”) segment, and (ii) the Custom Cabling Manufacturing and Assembly (“Custom Cabling”) segment. The RF Connector segment primarily designs, manufactures, markets and distributes a broad range of RF connector, adapter, coupler, divider, and cable products, including coaxial passives and cable assemblies that are used in telecommunications and information technology, OEM markets and other end markets. The Custom Cabling segment designs, manufactures, markets and distributes custom copper and fiber cable assemblies, complex hybrid fiber optic and power solution cables, electromechanical wiring harnesses for a broad range of applications in a diverse set of end markets, energy-efficient cooling systems for wireless base stations and remote equipment shelters and custom designed, pole-ready 4G and 5G small cell integrated enclosures.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, revenues from the Custom Cabling segment were generated from the sale of fiber optics cable, copper cabling, custom patch cord assemblies, and wiring harnesses, which collectively accounted for 53% of the Company’s total sales. Revenues from the RF Connector segment were generated from the sales of RF Connector products and cable assemblies and accounted for 47% of total sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The RF Connector segment mostly sells standardized products regularly used by customers and, therefore, has a more stable revenue stream. On the other hand, the Custom Cabling segment mostly designs, manufactures, and sells customized cabling and wireless-related equipment under larger purchase orders. Accordingly, the Custom Cabling segment is more dependent upon larger orders and its revenues can therefore be more volatile than the revenues of the RF Connector segment.
Our corporate headquarters are located at 16868 Via Del Campo Court, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92127. Our phone number is (858) 549-6340.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have been able to fund our liquidity and other capital requirements from funds we generated from operations. We generated operating income during the nine months ended July 31, 2025, as we saw sales continue to recover during the current period. Further, the cost-cutting measures that were implemented to reduce our operating expenses and to help drive positive operating cash flow and increase liquidity have started to be realized. These cost-cutting efforts included consolidating facilities and recognizing the related operating efficiencies and synergies in our production operations. We intend to continue to pursue additional continuous improvement and cost reduction measures, as well as organic growth in revenue and profitability.
As of July 31, 2025, we had a total of $3.0 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to a total of $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2024. As of July 31, 2025, we had working capital of $13.1 million and a current ratio of approximately 1.6:1 with current assets of $34.1 million and current liabilities of $21.0 million. We believe that the amount of cash remaining, plus the amount available to us under the EBC Revolving Loan Facility, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated liquidity needs.
As of July 31, 2025, we had $19.7 million of backlog, compared to $19.5 million as of October 31, 2024, due primarily to shipments against our backlog and timing of orders. Since purchase orders are submitted from customers based on the timing of their requirements, our ability to predict orders in future periods or trends in future periods is limited. Furthermore, purchase orders may be subject to cancellation from customers, although we have not historically experienced material cancellations of purchase orders.
In the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we generated $2.5 million of cash in our operating activities. This net inflow of cash is primarily related to a decrease in inventories of $0.6 million as a result of better inventory management and supply chain conditions improving allowing us to carry less inventory on hand, $1.8 million from depreciation and amortization, $1.0 million from the change in accounts payable, $0.6 million from stock-based compensation expense, $2.1 million from the change in accrued expenses, $0.1 million from amortization of debt issuance costs and $31,000 from bad debt expense. The cash usage was primarily due to the net loss of $0.1 million, the change in accounts receivable of $3.3 million, the change in other current assets of $0.1 million, right-of-use assets of $0.3 million, $43,000 tax payments on cancelled shares of restricted stock, $12,000 gain on disposal of fixed assets and $3,000 from deferred income taxes.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, we also spent $170,000 on capital expenditures, repaid $0.4 million on the revolving credit facility with EBC, received $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and received $12,000 in proceeds from sales of fixed assets.
Our goal to expand and grow our business both organically and through acquisitions may require material additional capital equipment. In the past, we have purchased all additional equipment or financed some of our equipment and furnishings requirements through capital leases. At this time, we have not identified any additional capital equipment purchases that would require significant additional leasing or capital expenditures during the next 12 months. We also believe that based on our current financial condition, our current backlog of unfulfilled orders, and our anticipated future operations, we would be able to finance our expansion, if necessary.
From time to time, we may undertake acquisitions of other companies or product lines in order to diversify our product and solutions offerings and customer base. Conversely, we may undertake the disposition of a division or product line due to changes in our business strategy or market conditions. Acquisitions may require the outlay of cash, which may reduce our liquidity and capital resources while dispositions may increase our cash position, liquidity and capital resources. Since our goal is to continue to expand our operations and accelerate our growth through future acquisitions, we may use some of our current capital resources to fund acquisitions we may undertake in the future.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended July 31, 2024
Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2025 (the “fiscal 2025 quarter”) increased by 17.9%, or $3.0 million, to $19.8 million as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2024 (the “fiscal 2024 quarter”). Net sales for the fiscal 2025 quarter at the Custom Cabling segment increased by $3.5 million, or 49.3%, to $10.6 million, compared to $7.1 million in the fiscal 2024 quarter. The increase was primarily driven by aerospace and new market penetration in our Custom Cabling segment. Net sales for the fiscal 2025 quarter at the RF Connector segment decreased by $0.5 million, or 5.2%, to $9.2 million as compared to $9.7 million in the fiscal 2024 quarter, primarily due to timing of small cell applications and deployment.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2025 quarter increased by $1.7 million to $6.7 million, and gross margins increased to 34% of sales compared to 29.5% of sales in the fiscal 2024 quarter. The increases in gross profit and gross margins were primarily related to the overall product mix and new market penetration.
Engineering expenses increased by $0.1 million to $0.8 million in the fiscal 2025 quarter compared to $0.7 million in the fiscal 2024 quarter. The increase was the result of new product development. Engineering expenses represent costs incurred relating to the ongoing research and development of current and new products.
Selling and general expenses increased by $0.5 million to $5.2 million (26.5% of sales) compared to $4.7 million (28.1% of sales) in the third quarter last year primarily due to an increase in variable compensation related to commissions and bonuses as a result of the higher sales and investment in additional resources.
For the fiscal 2025 quarter, the Custom Cabling segment had pretax income of $2.1 million and the RF Connector segment had a pretax loss of $1.4 million, as compared to $0.3 million income and $0.7 million loss, respectively, for the comparable quarter last year. The increase in pretax income at the Custom Cabling segment was the result of product mix servicing the aerospace and enterprise markets. The increase in pretax loss at the RF Connector segment was primarily due to a decrease in sales relating to timing of orders.
For the fiscal 2025 and 2024 quarters, we recorded income tax provision of $88,000 and income tax benefit of $52,000, respectively. The effective tax rate was 18.3% for the fiscal 2025 quarter, compared to 6.9% for the fiscal 2024 quarter. The change in the effective tax rate from the fiscal 2025 quarter to fiscal 2024 quarter was primarily driven by the effects of the change in valuation allowance, research and development credits, state income taxes, and other expected permanent differences.
For the fiscal 2025 quarter, net income was $0.4 million and fully diluted earnings per share was $0.04, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million and fully diluted loss per share of $0.07 for the fiscal 2024 quarter. For the fiscal 2025 quarter, the diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 10,668,375 as compared to 10,495,082 for the fiscal 2024 quarter.
Nine Months Ended July 31, 2025 vs. Nine Months Ended July 31, 2024
Net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 (the “fiscal 2025 nine-month period”) of $57.9 million increased by 24.8%, or $11.5 million, compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2024 (the “fiscal 2024 nine-month period”). The increase in net sales is attributable mainly to the Custom Cabling segment, which increased by $12.6 million, or 70.0%, to $30.6 million compared to $18.0 million in the fiscal 2024 nine-month period, primarily driven by tier one carrier applications for our direct air cooling and small cell enclosure offering and new market penetration through our Cables Unlimited business division. Net sales for the fiscal 2025 nine-month period at the RF Connector segment decreased by $1.1 million, or 3.9%, to $27.3 million compared to $28.4 million in the fiscal 2024 nine-month period, primarily due to fluctuations in our distribution business.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2025 nine-month period increased by $5.3 million to $18.4 million while gross margins increased to 31.8% of sales compared to 28.2% of sales in the fiscal 2024 nine-month period. The increases in gross profit and gross margins were primarily driven by applications for our direct air cooling and small cell enclosure offerings and our diverse custom cabling product offerings into aerospace and enterprise markets.
Engineering expenses remained consistent at $2.1 million for the fiscal 2025 nine-month period compared to the fiscal 2024 nine-month period. Engineering expenses represent costs incurred relating to the ongoing research and development of new products.
Selling and general expenses increased by $1.5 million to $15.4 million (26.6% of sales) compared to $13.9 million (30.0% of sales) in the nine-month period last year primarily due to an increase in variable compensation related to commissions as a result of the higher sales, bonuses and investment in additional resources. We incurred one-time charges of $0.2 million relating to severance and related legal expenses in the fiscal 2025 nine-month period.
For the fiscal 2025 nine-month period, pretax income for the Custom Cabling segment was $5.3 million and the pretax loss for the RF Connector segment was $4.2 million, as compared to $0.4 million income and $3.1 million loss, respectively, for the comparable nine-month period last year.
For the fiscal 2025 and 2024 nine-month periods, we recorded income tax provision of $259,000 and $2,766,000, respectively. The effective tax rate was 160.9% for the fiscal 2025 nine-month period, compared to (76.9%) for the fiscal 2024 nine-month period. The change in effective tax rate for the fiscal 2025 and 2024 nine-month periods was primarily driven by the effects of the change in valuation allowance, research and development credits, state income taxes, and other expected permanent differences.
For the fiscal 2025 nine-month period, net loss was $0.1 million and fully diluted loss per share was ($0.01) per share as compared to a net loss of $6.4 million and fully diluted loss per share of ($0.61) per share for the fiscal 2024 nine-month period. For the fiscal 2025 nine-month period, the diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 10,632,566 as compared to 10,466,862 for the fiscal 2024 nine-month period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in weighing the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations, we regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, and to maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of July 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, there were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as discussed below, the Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened litigation, the outcome of which would be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company discloses contingent liabilities even if the liability is not probable or estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.
Employee Class Action
On July 24, 2024, a former employee (“Plaintiff”) filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary C Enterprises, Inc., in San Diego County Superior Court. The case is before the Honorable Gregory W. Pollack, and asserts allegations of California state law violations pertaining to: (1) straight time wages; (2) overtime wages; (3) meal periods; (4) rest periods; (5) business expense reimbursement; (6) timely payment of wages at termination; (7) provision of accurate itemized wage statements; and (8) California’s unfair competition law. This action seeks damages on behalf of a putative class of non-exempt employees who worked for the Company in California at any time from July 24, 2020, through the present.
On July 23, 2024, Plaintiff provided notice of the alleged violations of law above to California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency (“LWDA”) under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”). On or about October 18, 2024, Plaintiff filed her First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), which amended her class complaint to include a cause of action under PAGA, whereby Plaintiff seeks penalties on behalf of the State of California and other similarly situated employees for the period of August 14, 2023, through the present.
As of September 11, 2025, no class certification deadline or trial date has been set. The parties attended private mediation on August 7, 2025. The parties thereafter reached a settlement in principle, for which the parties are currently negotiating a long-form settlement agreement. Any settlement will be subject to Court approval. A case management conference is scheduled for December 19, 2025.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition and operating results are affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including risks specific to us or our industry, as well as risks that affect businesses in general. In addition to the information and risk factors set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). The risks disclosed in such Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations and thus our stock price. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report. Other than the risk factor set forth below, we believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Annual Report. However, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or which we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Quarterly Report and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Because of such risk factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
We are subject to risks from changes to the trade policies, tariffs and import and export regulations of the U.S. and foreign governments.
Changes in the import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes, sanctions and countersanctions, safeguards or customs restrictions by the U.S. and foreign governments, could require us to change the way we conduct business and negatively affect our business performance, financial condition, results of operations, and our relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees. Likewise, changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development, and investment in the territories or countries where we currently sell our products or conduct our business could adversely affect our business.
For example, recently, the U.S. government imposed significant tariffs on foreign imports into the United States, including higher tariff levels on imports from China, Mexico and Canada. The U.S. continues to implement new, reinstated or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that it will continue with this practice. These actions have and are expected to continue to result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. The current situation is dynamic, and we cannot predict at this time whether the imposed tariffs will be maintained. If maintained, such tariffs and the potential escalation of trade disputes could pose a significant risk to our business, including an increase to the cost of our products and, to the extent we absorb the costs of tariffs and do not pass them through to our customers, higher cost of goods sold and lower gross profit and margins. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, including negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions may cause us to modify our operations or forgo business opportunities. Likewise, tariffs and import and export regulations could also limit the availability of our products, prompt consumers to seek alternative products and provide an opportunity for competitors not subject to such tariffs to establish a presence in markets where we conduct our business.
