Evidence signals

  • Revenue contracted

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -9.3% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-08-31.

  • Operating margin compressed

    Operating margin changed -13.2 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-08-31.

  • Free cash flow was negative

    Latest reported free cash flow was -$444,804.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2018-08-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Fair value · 1,198 characters as filed

NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The carrying value for certain of the Companys financial instruments (i.e., cash, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, the SFR Notes and the Lost Creek Note (each as defined in Note 6 below) approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses. As of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the Company had one Level 3 asset (notes receivable related party), evaluated at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, for which the Company did not record any impairment charges. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 categories during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025.

Income taxes · 936 characters as filed

NOTE 13 INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. As of May 31, 2026, the Company is estimating an annual effective tax rate of approximately 24%. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility in the effective tax rate due to various factors. The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Companys best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year considering any items requiring discrete recognition. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 was impacted by adjustments related to reconciling items between the Companys books and tax returns.

"Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company has disclosed significant segment expenses, the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), and an explanation of how the reported measure of segment profit or loss is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. Effective August 31, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU on a retrospective basis. See Note 11. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, ""Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures"" (""ASU 2023-09""), which requires expanded disclosure of the Companys income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2025. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to result in enhanced income tax disclosures, including expanded rate reconciliation detail and disaggregated information regarding income taxes paid, in its annual consolidated financial statements. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On June 15, 2026, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment to the SFR Facility Agreement that increased the lending capacity available to finance new single-family rental homes from $10 million to $20 million and extended the period during which that capacity may be drawn to May 29, 2028.
