ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2025 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-07 and anticipates adopting the standard for the year ended August 31, 2025 and filings thereafter.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): <i>Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures</i>. The new guidance is expected to improve income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis, although retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-09 and anticipates adopting the standard for the annual period starting September 1, 2025.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, <i>The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors</i>, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large-accelerated filers and accelerated filers, disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, respectively, subject to legal challenges and the SEC’s voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;

(JPM), which provided the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the Credit Facility) of up to $10.0 million, which included a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings of $4,518,734 and $4,291,608 were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2024, respectively. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of November 30, 2024.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On January 6, 2025, the Company and JPM entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 6, 2025 to January 5, 2026, reduce the availability under the Credit Facility from $10.0 million to $8.0 million and increase the applicable margin for Adjusted SOFR Rate (as defined below) advances from 2.15% to 2.35%.

The term “CB Floating Rate” means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term “Adjusted SOFR Rate” means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by the Company) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.35% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate. The weighted average interest rate was 7.07% and 7.43% for the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned JPM a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in collateral made up of the assets of the Company.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of the Company to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means the ratio, computed for the Company on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid, and plus cash distributions and dividends paid, all computed for the same twelve month period then ending.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control.

Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing basic net income per share. When dilutive, stock options and restricted stock units are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended November 30, 2024 were options outstanding to purchase 751,153 shares of common stock.

The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable, and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of November 30, 2024, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;
