The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.

The Company held cash balances with banks in the United States denominated in U.S. dollars and with banks in South Africa denominated in U.S. dollars and South African rand, and with banks in Canada denominated in Canadian dollars. The South African rand and the Canadian dollar may fluctuate against the U.S. dollar based on changes in economic conditions.

During the three months ended February 28, 2026, in comparison to the prior year period, the U.S. dollar on average was stronger in relation to the South African rand, and upon the translation of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and certain operating expenses denominated in South African rand. The Company recorded a translation adjustment gain of approximately $0.3 million and a translation adjustment loss of $0.1 million related to the South African rand during the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The translation adjustment related to the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, which was established in 2025, was immaterial for the period.

The Company’s South African subsidiary incurs operating costs denominated in South African rand. Consequently, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against the South African rand increases the volatility of sales, cost of goods sold and operating costs and overall net earnings when translated into U.S. dollars. The Company is not using any forward or option contracts to fix the foreign exchange rates. Using a 10% fluctuation in the U.S. exchange rate, the impact on the income and stockholders’ equity is not material.

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary’s revenues, cost of goods sold, operating costs, and capital expenditures are denominated in Canadian dollars. Consequently, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against the Canadian dollar may increase the volatility of reported sales, cost of goods sold, operating costs, and net earnings when translated into U.S. dollars. The Company does not currently use forward contracts, options, or other derivative instruments to manage foreign‑currency exchange risk. Management believes that the impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign‑currency exchange rates on the Company’s loss and stockholders’ equity is not material.

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, and the loan receivable from Byrna LATAM. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions located in the US, Canada, and South Africa. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances along with marketable securities with financial institutions in the US in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of its operations. It carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its customers. As of February 28, 2026, two of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 50% of total accounts receivable. As of November 30, 2025, two of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 47% of total accounts receivable.

The Company loaned $1.6 million to Byrna LATAM in January 2023 (see Note 8). The Company determines if an estimate for a credit loss on this loan is needed by considering the financial position of Byrna LATAM, the current economic environment, collections on our accounts receivable balances with Byrna LATAM, as well reasonable and supportable forecasts to support the payment of this loan.  The Company reviews these factors quarterly to determine if any adjustments are needed.  

The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, and Corporate Bonds. The Company’s investment policy limits the amounts the Company may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by the Company to be at least AA-/Aa3 rated, thereby reducing credit risk exposure.
