The 2020 Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 30, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced the Arts-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) and prior plans.

Fair value · 1,041 characters as filed
16 ) Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. On May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025 , the carrying amount approximated fair value for cash, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable to bank, finance lease liabilities and other current and long-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the finance lease liabilities also approximate recorded value, as its measurement is based on discounting future cash flows at rates implicit in the lease. The rates implicit in the lease do not materially differ from current market rates. The fair value of the Companys term loans payable also approximates recorded value because the interest rates do not substantially differ from current interest rates the Company could obtain under similar terms. …

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 .
