PART I
| Item 1. | Business |
General
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (“Espey”) is a power electronics design and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) company with a long history of developing and delivering highly reliable products for use in military and severe environment applications. Design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in our 174,000+ square foot facility located at 233 Ballston Ave., Saratoga Springs, New York. Espey is classified as a “smaller reporting company” for purposes of the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Espey’s common stock is publicly-traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “ESP.”
Espey began operations after incorporation in New York in 1928. We strive to remain competitive as a leader in high power energy conversion and transformer solutions through the design and manufacture of new and improved products by using advanced and “cutting edge” electronics technologies.
Espey is an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 certified manufacturer of power conversion, advanced magnetics and build to specifications provided by the customer “build to print” products for the rugged industrial and military marketplace. Our primary products are power supplies, power converters, filters, power transformers, magnetic components, power distribution equipment, UPS systems, and antennas. The applications of these products include AC and DC locomotives, shipboard power, shipboard radar, airborne power, ground-based radar, and ground mobile power.
Espey services include design and development to specification, build to specifications provided by the customer “build to print”, design services, design studies, environmental testing services, metal fabrication, painting services, and development of automatic testing equipment. Espey is vertically integrated, meaning that the Company produces individual components (including inductors), populates printed circuit boards, fabricates metalwork, paints, wires, qualifies, and fully tests items, mechanically, electrically and environmentally, in house. Portions of the manufacturing and testing process are subcontracted to vendors from time to time.
In fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company's total sales were $43,950,872 and $38,736,319, respectively. Sales to six customers accounted for 16%, 13%, 12%, 12%, 11% and 10%, respectively, of total sales in 2025. Sales to five customers accounted for 20%, 18%, 16%, 16% and 11%, respectively, of total sales in 2024. This concentration level presents significant risk. A loss of one of these customers or programs related to these customers could significantly impact the financial performance of the Company. Historically, a small number of customers have accounted for a large percentage of the Company’s total sales in any given fiscal year. In some instances, our sales may include shipments to more than one business unit of a particular customer.
Export shipments in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were $3,124,820 and $2,350,087, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increase in shipments on a large power supply contract in the current year when compared to the same period last year.
Sources of Raw Materials.
The Company has at least two potential sources of supply for a majority of its raw materials. However, certain components used in its products are available from a single or a limited number of sources. Despite the risk associated with single or limited source suppliers, the benefits of higher quality goods minimize and often limit any potential risk and can eliminate problems with part failures during production. At times, replacements are required to cover obsolete parts.
Ongoing demand in the power electronics industry across multiple manufacturing sectors continues to create shortages and extended lead times. In some instances, waiting times for certain components approach a year or more. We adequately factor supplier-provided lead times into internal planning schedules and new customer quotations. From time to time, we encounter part obsolescence which requires us to identify an alternate part suitable for use. We continue to work with our customers on strategies to mitigate any adverse impact upon our ability to service their requirements. Factors which may arise after the placement of the customer’s order may cause us to miss projected delivery dates. Inflationary costs are expected to continue but are not expected to have a significant impact on operating income in fiscal year 2026.
Tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from various countries continue to be in effect. Although we are not currently experiencing any significant financial or raw material sourcing issues resulting from the product tariffs, the Company cannot provide any assurance that the existing tariffs, the potential of additional tariffs, and the associated volatility arising from foreign trade policies, will not have a negative impact on our future earnings by increasing our raw material prices and augmenting the lead time for the availability of raw materials.

Sales Backlog
The total sales backlog at June 30, 2025 was approximately $139.7 million, which included approximately $95.2 million from three significant customers, compared to $97.2 million at June 30, 2024, which included approximately $61 million from four significant customers. The Company’s total backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts. Orders from significant customers may include more than a single program and procurement may originate from various divisions of the significant customer. The funded portion of the backlog at June 30, 2025 was $106.6 million. This includes items that have been authorized and appropriated by Congress and/or funded by the customer. The unfunded backlog at June 30, 2025 was $33 million, the majority of which represents amounts under multiple orders from a single customer. While there is no guarantee that future budgets and appropriations will provide funding for individual programs, management has included in unfunded backlog only those programs that it believes are likely to receive funding based on discussions with customers and program status. The unfunded backlog at June 30, 2024 approximated $2.3 million. Contracts are subject to modification, change or cancellation, and the Company accounts for these changes as they are probable and estimable. The Company evaluates the impact of any scope modifications and will adjust reserves as information is known and estimable. Contracts are generally not cancellable without penalty or recourse.
The majority of our orders are generated from prime defense contractors, the United States Department of Defense, other agencies of the government of the United States and foreign governments, and are for the design and development and/or manufacture of products. Orders are also generated from industrial manufacturers for similar services. It is not uncommon to receive orders with delivery schedules extending beyond a year from the contract purchase date. This can cause the time between a customer’s original purchase date and purchase date of their next order to vary.
It is presently anticipated that approximately $49.1 million of orders comprising the June 30, 2025 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The estimate of the June 30, 2025 backlog to be shipped in fiscal year 2026 is subject to future events, which may cause the amount of the backlog actually shipped to differ from such estimate.
Marketing and Competition
The Company markets its products primarily through its own direct sales organization and through outside sales representatives. Business is solicited from large industrial manufacturers and defense companies, the government of the United States, foreign governments and major foreign electronic equipment companies. Espey is also on the eligible list of contractors with the United States Department of Defense. We pursue opportunities for prime contracts directly with the Department of Defense and are generally automatically solicited by Department of Defense procurement agencies for their needs falling within the major classes of products produced by the Company. Espey contracts with the Federal Government under cage code 20950 as Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Company ranging from divisions of the largest electronic companies, to many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant share of the industry's market for any class of its products. The principal methods of competition for electronic products of both a military and industrial nature include, among other factors, price, product performance, the experience of the particular company and history of its dealings in such products.
Our business is not seasonal. However, the concentration of our business in the rail industry, and in equipment for military applications and industrial applications, as well as our customer concentrations, expose us to on-going associated risks. These risks include, without limitation, requirements for power supplies in the rail industry, dependence on appropriations from the United States Government and the governments of foreign nations, program allocations, the potential of governmental termination of orders for convenience, and the general strength of the industry sectors in which our customers transact business.
Future procurement needs supporting the military and the rail industry continue to drive competition. Many of our competitors have invested, and they continue to invest aggressively in upfront product design costs and accept lower profit margins as a strategic means of maintaining existing business and enhancing market share. This continues to put pressure on the pricing of our current products and has lowered our profit margins on some of our new business. In order to compete effectively for new business, in some cases we have invested in upfront design costs, thereby reducing initial profitability as a means of procuring new long-term programs. As part of our strategy, we adjust our pricing in order to achieve a balance which enables us both to retain repeat programs while being more competitive in bidding on new programs.
3
Our sales strategy includes identifying and obtaining multiple new engineering design and development contracts in any given fiscal year to ensure optimal utilization of our engineering personnel in addition to securing follow-on production awards for product previously designed in-house, as well as, build to print opportunities. The Company targets those programs and opportunities which will generate future longer-term production tails in ensuing years. From time to time, we accept work associated with engineering design studies. While unlikely to result in near-term follow-on orders, this positions us competitively on future awards and expands our engineering team’s skillset.
Research and Development
We do very little research and development with the intent to develop and market new product offerings for sale to customers. Our business primarily is driven by customer product needs and custom product development funded by the applicable customers. We incur research costs to support a request for quotation from a customer product-specific need usually associated with stringent size and weight requirements. In addition, the Company's engineers and technicians spend varying amounts of time identifying improvements to existing products with the primary objective of reducing production costs. At times, engineers are tasked with researching replacement parts to remediate identified obsolescence on current or repeat production programs. The Company's expenditures for research related activities were approximately $71,074 and $86,714 in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Employees
The Company had 152 employees as of August 31, 2025. Approximately 34% of the employees are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The current collective bargaining agreement was ratified on July 1, 2025 and is set to expire on June 30, 2028. Relations with the Union are considered good.
Government Regulations
Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not in fiscal year 2025, and the Company believes will not in fiscal year 2026, have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, net income, or competitive position of the Company.
The Company’s U.S. Government contract and subcontract orders are funded by government budgets, which operate on an October-to-September fiscal year. Normally, in February of each year, the President of the United States presents to Congress a proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This budget includes recommended appropriations for every federal agency and is the result of months of policy and program reviews throughout the executive branch. From February through September of each year, the appropriations and authorization committees of Congress review the President’s budget proposals and establish the funding levels for the upcoming fiscal year in appropriations and authorization legislation. Once these levels are enacted into law, the Executive Office of the President administers the funds to the agencies.
There are two primary risks associated with this process. First, the process may be delayed or disrupted because of congressional schedules, negotiations over funding levels for programs or unforeseen world events, which could, in turn, alter the funding for a program or contract. Second, funding for multi-year contracts can be changed by future appropriations, which could affect the timing of funds, schedules and program content.
Also, our international sales are denominated in United States dollars. Consequently, a strengthening of the United States dollar against foreign currencies could increase the price in local currencies of our products in foreign markets and make our products relatively more expensive than competitors’ products.
U.S. Government Defense Contracts and Subcontracts
Generally, U.S. Government contracts are subject to procurement laws and regulations. Some of the Company’s contracts are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which lays out uniform policies and procedures for acquiring goods and services by the U.S. Government, and agency-specific acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR. For example, the Department of Defense implements the FAR through the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR).
The FAR also contains guidelines and regulations for managing a contract after award, including conditions under which contracts may be terminated, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience or for default. If a contract is terminated for the convenience of the government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. If a contract is terminated for default, the government generally pays for only the work it has accepted. These regulations also subject the Company to financial audits and other reviews by the government of its costs, performance, accounting and general business practices relating to its contracts, which may result in adjustment of the Company’s contract-related costs and fees.

Holders
The approximate number of holders of record of the common stock was 53 on September 12, 2025 according to records of the Company's transfer agent. Included in this number are shares held in "nominee" or "street" name and, therefore, the number of beneficial owners of the common stock is believed to be substantially in excess of the foregoing number.
Dividends
The Company paid regular cash dividends on common stock of $1.00 per share and declared a special cash dividend of $0.75 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and paid regular cash dividends on common stock of $0.675 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Our Board of Directors assesses the Company’s dividend policy periodically. There is no assurance that the Board of Directors will maintain the amount of the regular cash dividend or declare a special dividend during any future years.
During fiscal year 2025, the Company did not sell any of its common stock to the Trustees of The Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the “ESOP”).

| Item 7. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Business Outlook
Management expects revenues in fiscal year 2026 to be higher than revenues recognized during fiscal year 2025. Net income per share is anticipated to fall below fiscal 2025 results driven primarily by orders already in our backlog that will be shipped in fiscal year 2026 with higher anticipated aggregate costs than the product mix shipped during fiscal 2025. As market factors, including competition and product costs impact gross profit margins, management will continue to evaluate our sales strategy, employment levels, and facility costs.
Ongoing demand in the power electronics industry across multiple manufacturing sectors continues to create shortages and extended lead times. In some instances, waiting times for certain components approach a year or more. We adequately factor supplier-provided lead times into internal planning schedules and new customer quotations. From time to time, we encounter part obsolescence which requires us to identify an alternate part suitable for use. We continue to work with our customers on strategies to mitigate any adverse impact upon our ability to service their requirements. Factors which may arise after the placement of the customer’s order may cause us to miss projected delivery dates. Inflationary costs are expected to continue but are not expected to have a significant impact on operating income in fiscal year 2026.
The labor workforce remains stable. Management continues to closely monitor workforce labor requirements to support our sales backlog and planned delivery schedules. Longer time-to-hire challenges remain for certain positions due to specific skillsets required for those positions. Unemployment rates in the local geographic region trend lower than the national average which has created a competitive recruiting environment. Where possible, the Company continues to offer on-the-job training and when necessary, continues to recruit personnel outside the local region. Combined with supply chain constraints, unforeseen labor disruptions could delay shipments and result in missing our backlog fulfillment projections and recognizing lower operating income.
Successful conversion of engineering program backlog into sales is largely dependent on the execution and completion of our engineering design efforts. It is not uncommon to experience technical or scheduling delays which can arise as a result of, among other reasons, design complexity, availability of personnel with the requisite expertise, requirements to obtain customer approval at various milestones, and extended delivery lead times on material required for prototypes. Cost overruns which can be caused from technical and schedule delays and increased raw material costs could negatively impact the timing of the conversion of backlog into sales, or the profitability of such sales. Engineering programs in both the funded and unfunded portions of the current backlog aggregate $13 million.
The Company currently expects new orders in fiscal year 2026 to be lower than those received in fiscal year 2025. During fiscal year 2025, the Company received $86.4 million in new orders which included two significant, multi-year contract awards in an aggregate sum of $49.4 million. In addition to the backlog, the Company currently has outstanding opportunities representing approximately $163 million in the aggregate as of August 31, 2025, for both repeat and new programs. Outstanding opportunities encompass various new and previously manufactured power supplies, transformers, and subassemblies. The stated amount includes only those opportunities that we believe are likely to be awarded based on factors which include: quotation status, communicated award dates, historical ordering, public information on defense programs and program funding, discussion with customers, and our cost competitiveness. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any of the outstanding opportunities described above, many of which are subject to allocations of the United States defense spending and elements affecting the defense industry. Many solicitations we receive for the procurement of goods and services takes place by competitive bidding.
Our sales strategy continues to focus on the long-standing relationships we have with many of the leading defense prime contractors. These relations yield growth opportunities from new product development and additional sales opportunities of existing products to these customers. The Company targets programs and opportunities which will generate future longer-term production tails in ensuing years. From time to time, we accept work associated with engineering design studies. While unlikely to result in near-term follow-on orders, this positions us competitively on future awards and expands our engineering team’s skillset.
Management continues to pursue opportunities with current and new customers with an overall objective of lowering the concentration of sales, mitigating excessive reliance upon a single major product of a particular program and minimizing the impact of the loss of a single significant customer. Given the nature of our business, we believe our existing sales order backlog is fairly diversified in terms of customers and the category of products on order.
7
Management, along with the Board of Directors, continues to evaluate the need and use of the Company’s working capital. Capital expenditures, primarily for machinery and equipment and facility upgrades, are not expected to exceed $850,000 for fiscal year 2026. These upgrades would be in addition to those that are being funded by grants the Company was awarded. A majority of these expenditures will be made to stay competitive in the marketplace and to meet the needs of current contracts.
Expectations are that the working capital will be required to fund orders, general operations of the business and dividend payments. Management along with the Legal Affairs, Strategic Planning, and M&A Committee of the Board of Directors will examine opportunities involving acquisitions or other strategic options, including buying certain products or product lines, provided that such opportunities demonstrate synergies with the Company’s existing product base and accretion to earnings.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $43,950,872 and $38,736,319, respectively, an approximate 13.5% increase. In general, sales fluctuations within product categories will occur during a comparable fiscal period as the direct result of product mix, influenced by the duration of specific programs and the contractual terms of firm orders placed for product and services under those programs including contract value, scope of work and contract delivery schedules. Deliverables within firm contracts are often subject to delivery schedules which also contributes to sales fluctuations between comparable periods. Sales in fiscal year 2025 were higher when compared to the prior year primarily attributable to (i) several large multi-year contracts for shipboard transformers and power distribution panels, (ii) power systems for combat vehicles, and (iii) power systems for aircraft radar and missile platforms. Additionally, the Company saw increases on build to print sales. These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in sales related to our magnetics programs where various contracts had fewer or no sales in the current reporting period as compared to the same period last year due to order completion or planned customer delivery schedules.
Gross profits for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $12,684,631 and $10,653,060, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 28.9% and 27.5%, for the same periods, respectively. The primary factors in determining the change in gross profit and net income are overall sales levels and product mix. The gross profits on mature products and build to print contracts are typically higher as compared to products which are still in the engineering development stage or in early stages of production. In the case of the latter, the Company can incur what it refers to as “loss contracts,” primarily on engineering design contracts in which the Company invests with the objective of developing future product sales. In any given accounting period, the mix of product shipments between higher margin programs and less mature programs, and expenditures associated with loss contracts, has a significant impact on gross profit and net income.
The increase in gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the same period last year resulted primarily from (i) sales levels and general product mix, (ii) higher than average profit margins on completed milestone sales, and (iii) non-recurring cost savings related to realized labor efficiencies and savings on material purchases. Moreover, the gross profit in fiscal year 2024 had been negatively impacted by significant unanticipated costs incurred on several fixed-priced engineering design contracts and a specific build to print contract, all for power supplies, due to unforeseen complexities of the designs. These factors did not impact the fiscal year 2025 gross profit. Finally, gross profit in fiscal year 2025 was increased by an improvement in the overhead rate on shipments. This is attributed to the recorded pension withdrawal obligation established in the last quarter of fiscal year 2024 that was paid in full during fiscal year 2025. See Financial Statement Note 7. Pension Expense for further details.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,557,945 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $444,337 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The increase in spending for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 mainly arose from the temporary increase in employee compensation costs related to a brief overlap in a few positions requiring a training and transition period due to retirements that occurred during 2025. In addition, the Company had an increase in ESOP contributions, facility costs due to the completion of the new building, and travel and entertainment expenses. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in the cost of insurance, conference and training costs, and marketing and advertising costs.
Other income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1,601,978 and $755,562, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in interest income resulting from an increase in investment securities and an increase in fixed interest rates. The Company also received a one-time Capital Investment Grant in the amount of $300,000 related to the completion of the new building in fiscal 2025. Interest income is a function of the level of investments and investment strategies that generally tend to be conservative.

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 16.3% in fiscal year 2025 and approximately 20.3% in fiscal year 2024. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2025 is less than the statutory tax rate mainly due to the benefit received from stock option exercises, dividends paid on allocated ESOP shares, and a benefit from foreign derived intangible income, offset in part by permanent differences related to incentive stock options. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2024 is less than the statutory tax rate mainly due to the benefit received from ESOP dividends paid on allocated shares and a benefit from foreign derived intangible income, offset in part by permanent differences related to incentive stock options.
The Company generated net income for fiscal year 2025 of $8,142,954 or $3.14 and $3.02 per share, basic and diluted, compared to net income of $5,815,140 or $2.34 and $2.29 per share, basic and diluted, for fiscal year 2024. The increase in net income in the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily attributable to higher sales, a higher gross profit margin percentage, an increase in other income, offset in part, by an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses and an increase in the provision for income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the liquidity of its business, and during the past two fiscal years, the Company, when possible, has funded all of its operations with cash flows resulting from operating activities and when necessary, from its existing cash and investments. The Company did not borrow any funds during the last two fiscal years. Management has available a $3,000,000 line of credit to help fund further growth or working capital needs, if necessary, but does not anticipate the need for any borrowed funds in the foreseeable future. Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letters of credit agreements aggregated to zero at June 30, 2025 and 2024. The existing line of credit was extended and expires February 28, 2026.
The Company's working capital as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $46.9 million and approximately $38 million, respectively. The Company may at times be required to repurchase shares at the ESOP participants’ request at the fair market value. During the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares held by the ESOP. Under existing authorizations from the Company's Board of Directors, as of June 30, 2025, management is authorized to purchase an additional $783,460 of Company stock.
The table below presents the summary of cash flow information for the fiscal years indicated:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 20,991,372 | $ | 10,595,200 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (6,938,966 | ) | (7,840,277 | ) | ||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | 458,268 | (1,151,708 | ) | |||||
Net cash provided by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in sales and net income, provision for income taxes, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, and payment of accounts payable. The increase in cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior year primarily relates to an increase in contract liabilities and a decrease in inventory, offset in part, by an increase in accounts receivable, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a decrease in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities decreased in the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to a decrease in proceeds received from grant awards and a decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment. This was partially offset by a decrease in the purchase of investment securities net of proceeds from the sale and maturity of investment securities when compared to the same period last year. Cash used in financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 relates primarily to dividend payments on common stock, offset in full, by proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
The Company currently believes that the cash flow generated from operations and when necessary, from cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company expended $4,365,404 and $5,164,165, respectively, for plant improvements and new equipment. Of the total expended amount, $3,260,000 was reimbursed in fiscal year 2025 and $4,228,722 was reimbursed in fiscal year 2024 under a not-to-exceed $7.4 million award received by the Company. Additionally, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 there was $1,731,042 for plant improvements and new equipment eligible for reimbursement under a not-to-exceed $3.4 million award received by the Company. The award received by the Company is in support of facility and capital equipment upgrades for testing and qualification for the United States Navy. This funding award is part of the Navy’s investment to improve and sustain the Surface Combatant Industrial Base. Separately, the Company has budgeted approximately $850,000 for new equipment and plant improvements in fiscal year 2026, not reimbursable under the funding award. A majority of these expenditures will be made to stay competitive in the marketplace and to meet the needs of current contracts.
9
Management believes that the Company's allowance for credit losses of $3,000 is adequate given the customers with whom the Company does business based on historical experience, current economic market conditions, performance of specific account reviews, and other factored considerations to include, but not limited to, contracts covered by government funding and the overall health of the industry. Historically, bad debt expense has been minimal.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts as presented on the face of the financial statements. These critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Management continually reviews and evaluates these critical accounting policies and estimates in light of evolving business conditions, regulatory developments, and changes in the economic environment. As future events cannot be determined and their impact on the financial statements are uncertain, actual results may differ from our estimates and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from established estimates. The critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe have the most significant effect on our financial statements are revenue recognition, inventory valuation, and deferred taxes.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of our sales are generated from military contracts from defense companies, the Department of Defense, other agencies of the government of the United States and foreign governments. We provide our products and design and development services under fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, our generated profit will fluctuate or a loss could be incurred.
We evaluate the products or services promised in each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations. We determine the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration we expect to receive for the products or services being provided under the contract. As the Company does not have standalone observable prices, a contract’s transaction price of each performance obligation is based on the standalone selling price, which is determined using an expected cost plus a margin approach.
Valuation of Inventories
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Balances for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are reviewed on a regular basis by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels, market conditions, and other available information. Inventory balances are reduced based on this analysis.
Inventory relating to contracts in process and work in process is valued at cost, including factory overhead incurred to date. Contract costs include material, subcontract costs, labor, and an allocation of overhead costs. Work in process represents spare units and parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to service units previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. Provision for losses on contracts is made when the existence of such losses becomes probable and estimable. The provision for losses on contracts is included in other accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months.
The estimation of total cost at completion of a contract is subject to variables including contract costs incurred and expected to be incurred as well as estimates regarding contract completion dates. Given the significance of the estimation processes and judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of expected contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on changes in circumstances, in the estimation process. When a change in expected estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in current period earnings.
Deferred Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes."
10
Under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the Company) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Inventory and Accruals Related to Contracts in Process and Work in Process
As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the financial statements, inventory relating to contracts in process and work in process is valued at cost. Contract costs include material, subcontract costs, labor, and an allocation of overhead costs. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months. Provision for losses on contracts is made when the existence of such losses becomes probable and estimable. The provision for losses on contracts is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
11
The estimation of total cost at completion of a contract is subject to variables involving contract costs incurred and expected to be incurred and estimates as to the length of time to complete the contract. Given the significance of the estimation processes and judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of expected contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on changes in circumstances, in the estimation process. When a change in expected estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in current period earnings. Due to the magnitude of the inventory, and the subjectivity involved in estimating the total cost at completion we identified the evaluation as a critical audit matter, which required a high degree of auditor judgment.
Addressing the matter involved performing subjective procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. The primary procedures performed included the following:
| ● | Obtain understanding of the process and assumptions used by management to develop estimates to complete including labor, overhead and materials. |
| ● | Perform retrospective review of prior period’s cost of sales percentage and estimates to complete. |
| ● | Perform brainstorming meeting among the engagement team to determine where the estimate may be susceptible to fraud or error. |
| ● | Test management’s estimate to complete and expected gross margin. |
| ● | Review appropriateness of job loss accrual. |

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the Company) is a manufacturer of electronic equipment used primarily in military and industrial applications. The principal markets for the Company's products are companies that provide electronic support to both military and industrial applications across the United States and at some international locations.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue
The majority of our sales are generated from military contracts from defense companies, the Department of Defense, other agencies of the government of the United States and foreign governments, for the design and development and/or manufacture of products. Sales are also generated from industrial manufacturers for similar services. We provide our products and design and development services under fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss.
We account for a contract with a customer after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collection of substantially all of the amount to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer is probable. We assess each contract at its inception to determine whether it should be combined with other contracts. When making this determination, we consider factors such as whether two or more contracts were negotiated and executed at or near the same time, or were negotiated with an overall profit objective.
We evaluate the products or services promised in each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations. We determine the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration we expect to receive for the products or services being provided under the contract. As the Company does not have standalone observable prices, a contract’s transaction price of each performance obligation is based on the standalone selling price, which is determined using an expected cost plus a margin approach.
Inventory
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Balances for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are reviewed on a regular basis by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels, market conditions, and other information. Inventory balances are reduced based on this analysis.

and an allocation of overhead costs. Work in process represents spare units and parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to
service units previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. Provision for losses on contracts is made when the existence of such
losses becomes probable and estimable. The provision for losses on contracts is included in other accrued expenses on the Company’s

When a change in expected estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in current period earnings.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized.

Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Depreciation
Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:
| Buildings and improvements | |
| Machinery and equipment | |
| Furniture and fixtures |
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes."
Under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investment Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in debt securities in accordance with ASC 320-10-25, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Investments in debt securities at June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of a combination of municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury bills, and certificates of deposit. The Company classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses for debt securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings and are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Fair values are based on quoted market prices available as of the balance sheet date, and are therefore considered a Level 1 valuation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
◾ Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
◾ Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
19
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
◾ Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short term investment securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company extends credit to its customers in
the normal course of business and collateral is generally not required for trade receivables. Exposure to credit risk is controlled
through the use of credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance
for credit losses. The Company estimates the allowance based on its analysis of historical experience, current economic market conditions,
performance of specific account reviews, and other factored considerations to include, but not limited to, contracts covered by government
funding and the overall health of the industry. Interest is not charged on past due balances. Based on these factors, there was an allowance
for credit losses of $
Per Share Amounts
FASB ASC Topic 260-10 “Earnings Per Share (EPS)” requires the Company to calculate net income per share based on basic and diluted net income per share, as defined. Basic EPS excludes dilution and unallocated ESOP shares and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options issued by the Company are reflected in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income for fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consists of unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities.
Use of 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to include additional disclosures around significant segment expenses, as well as identify measures used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in evaluating segment performance, allocating resources, and assessing Company results. Espey adopted ASU 2023-07 effective June 30, 2025. The adoption of 2023-07 did not change the way that the Company identifies its reportable segments and, did not have a material impact on the Company’s segment-related disclosures. Refer to the notes to the financial statements for further information on Espey’s reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures through the standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard to our financial statements.
In November, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (Subtopic 220-40) which is intended to improve disclosures around public business entities expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses that are within commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative costs. This ASU 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. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard to our financial statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were impairments of long-lived assets in fiscal years 2025 and 2024. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet, if applicable.
Concentrations of Risk
The market for our defense electronics products is largely dependent on the availability of new contracts from the United States and foreign governments to prime contractors to which we provide components. Any decline in expenditures by the United States or foreign governments may have an adverse effect on our financial performance.
Generally, U.S. Government contracts are subject to procurement laws and regulations. Some of the Company’s contracts are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which lays out uniform policies and procedures for acquiring goods and services by the U.S. Government, and agency-specific acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR. For example, the Department of Defense implements the FAR through the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR).
The FAR also contains guidelines and regulations for managing a contract after award, including conditions under which contracts may be terminated, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience or for default. If a contract is terminated for the convenience of the government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. If a contract is terminated for default, the government generally pays for only the work it has accepted. These regulations also subject the Company to financial audits and other reviews by the government of its costs, performance, accounting and general business practices relating to its contracts, which may result in adjustment of the Company’s contract-related costs and fees.

Note 3. Revenue
The Company follows FASB ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to determine the recognition of revenue. This standard requires entities to assess the products or services promised in contracts with customers at contract inception to determine the appropriate unit at which to record revenues. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services.
Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations. Revenues from our performance obligations are satisfied over time using the output method, using direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. The output method considers the appraisal of results achieved, milestones reached or units delivered based on contractual shipment terms, typically shipping point. Revenue is recognized when, or as, the customer takes control of the product or services. The output method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as the output method represents progress toward satisfaction of each performance obligation. For units delivered, control is typically transferred to the customer at the shipping point as the Company has a present right to payment, the customer has legal title to the asset, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and in most instances the customer has accepted the asset. For milestones achieved, the customer has confirmed the performance defined in the contract has been met and the Company is entitled to payment.
Total revenue recognized for the year ended June
30, 2025 based on units delivered totaled $
The Company offers a standard one-year product warranty. Product warranties offered by the Company are classified as assurance-type warranties, which means, the warranty only guarantees that the good or service functions as promised. Based on this, the provided warranty is not considered to be a distinct performance obligation. The impact of variable consideration has been considered but none identified which would result in the adjustment of the transaction price as of June 30, 2025. Our payment terms are generally 30-60 days.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences without consideration of a valuation allowance.
As the result of the implementation of the FASB interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, the Company recognized no material adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties in general and administrative expense. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not recorded any provision for accrued interest and penalties.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. The federal tax returns are subject to audit for three years from date of filing unless the return was audited within that period. In general, the majority of state statutes follow similar guidelines. As such, the Company’s tax returns for tax years ending June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023 remain open to examination by the respective taxing authorities.

Note 10. Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718-40 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” in establishing standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, as well as transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the share-based payment. ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. Included as a reduction to the cost recognized for share-based payments is an estimate for option forfeitures. It is the Company’s policy to estimate expected option forfeitures based on historical experience. Actual forfeitures are adjusted prior to the vesting date if the impact is material.

Note 11. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of FDIC
insurance limits. As disclosed in Note 3, a significant portion of the Company's business is the production of military and industrial
electronic equipment for use by the U.S. and foreign governments and certain industrial customers. The related accounts receivable balance,
as a percentage of the Company's total trade accounts receivable balance, was
Although the Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of these concentrated balances is affected by the conditions or occurrences within the U.S. and foreign governments, the Company believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer's financial conditions and requires collateral, such as progress payments, in certain circumstances. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
Note 12. Related Parties
The administration of the shares of common stock held by the ESOP Trust is subject to the Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. Employee Retirement Plan and Trust (ESOP) and a Trust Agreement, each effective as of July 1, 2016. The Trustees’ rights with respect to the disposition of shares are governed by the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As to shares that have been allocated to the accounts of participants in the ESOP Trust, the Plan provides that the Trustees are required to vote such shares in accordance with instructions received from the participants. As to unallocated shares and allocated shares for which voting instructions have not been received from participants, the Plan provides that the Trustees are required to vote such shares in accordance with the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company under the terms of the Plan and Trust Agreement, which is currently in the same proportion as the instructions received on the allocated shares.

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
(a) The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(b) There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of our Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on our evaluation using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2025.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
