To create space for this new tenant, the Company removed three production lines from the warehouse before July 31, 2024. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company made available and committed to sell the disassembled equipment. The Company is actively marketing unused equipment using a national on-line auction house as of May 31, 2026. The Company is subject to the presentation and disclosure requirements since the equipment meets all the criteria and is classified as an “Asset Held for Sale.” Once management determined that the disassembled equipment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceased depreciation of the asset and reported it separately on the balance sheet, beginning on August 31, 2024. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of the assets and the estimated fair values less costs to sell and recorded an impairment loss on the assets of $287,100. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027 the Company again evaluated the carrying amount of the assets and the estimated fair values less costs to sell and recorded another impairment loss on the assets of $113,600, further reducing the assets held for sale account.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company records assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

The operating lease liability and right-of-use assets are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used.</p><table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td> </td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">May 31, <br/> 2026</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt; font-weight: bold"> </td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid">February 28,<br/> 2026</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt; font-weight: bold"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td>Operating lease assets:</td><td> </td> <td colspan="2"> </td><td> </td><td> </td> <td colspan="2"> </td><td> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="padding-left: 0.125in; width: 76%; text-align: left">Right-of-use assets</td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 9%; text-align: right">6,742,000</td><td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 1%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 9%; text-align: right">6,716,100</td><td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="text-align: left">Operating lease liabilities:</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td style="padding-left: 0.125in; text-align: left">Current lease liabilities</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left">$</td><td style="text-align: right">1,315,900</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left">$</td><td style="text-align: right">1,371,700</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="padding-left: 0.125in; text-align: left">Long-term lease liabilities</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left">$</td><td style="text-align: right">5,426,100</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left">$</td><td style="text-align: right">5,344,400</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right"> </td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="text-align: left">Weighted-average remaining lease term (months)</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">105.4</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">108.9</td><td style="text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; "> <td style="text-align: left">Weighted-average discount rate</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">6.35</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">6.36</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">  </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses in our statements of operations.

In general, most of the office space outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma is associated with remote employees. Their continued employment determines the need for this space. Much of the warehouse space outside of the Hilti Complex is used to store non-current inventory. As the Company sells down excess inventory, less outside space will be needed, and any renewals will be for less space. The Company also considered the renewal options for the operating lease at the Hilti Complex and is not reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options. Accordingly, the renewal options are not included in the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as the Company does not believe that it is reasonably certain that these renewal options will be exercised.  </p> P10Y 8 0.025 The Company also has two five-year renewal and extension options with 2.5% increases annually in the base rental rate of the preceding year. The operating lease liability and right-of-use assets are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used.<table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;

During fiscal 2023, we entered into a new distribution agreement (“Agreement”) with Usborne. The Agreement includes annual minimum purchase volumes along with specific payment terms and letter of credit requirements, which if not met offer Usborne the right to terminate the Agreement on less than 30 days’ written notice. Should termination of the Agreement occur, the Company will be allowed to sell its remaining Usborne inventory for an agreed upon period, but not less than twelve months following the termination date. As of May 31, 2026, the Company did not meet the minimum purchase requirements and did not supply the letter of credit required under the Agreement, which offers Usborne the right to exercise their option to terminate the Agreement. Usborne has not notified the Company of termination of the Agreement. In addition, Usborne has refused to pay the $1.0 million volume rebate owed to the Company from purchases made during fiscal 2022. The Company is disputing the cancellation of the rebate but has not recognized any rebate due to its uncertainty. Additionally, under the terms in the Agreement, the Company no longer has the rights to distribute Usborne’s products to retail customers through our Publishing division. As a result, the Company discontinued selling Usborne products to retail customers in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. In conclusion, management placed significant emphasis on guidance in ASC 740, which includes that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Based upon available evidence, it was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that certain deferred tax assets were not realizable as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets.</p></td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. In conclusion, management placed significant emphasis on guidance in ASC 740, which includes that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Based upon available evidence, it was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that certain deferred tax assets were not realizable as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets.</p></td></tr> </table> 19700 29600 208700 182700 100200 96900 232500 217300 27200 27200 399600 109300 2001300 2001300 20100 12100 3009300 2676400 1082400 1121600 1082400 1121600 1926900 1554800 0 0 0.80 0.30 0.30 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

These reportable segments are business units that offer different methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. Our PaperPie segment markets its products through a network of independent Brand Partners using a combination of internet sales, direct sales, home shows, and book fairs. Our Publishing segment markets its products to retail accounts, which include book, school supply, toy and gift stores, museums, trade and specialty wholesalers, through commissioned sales representatives, and our internal tele-sales group. See Note 7 for the impact of our updated Usborne distribution agreement on the Publishing segment.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the rest of the Company. We evaluate segment performance based on earnings before income taxes of the segments, which is defined as segment net revenues reduced by cost of sales and direct expenses. Direct expenses are composed of payroll, commissions, general and administrative, and operating and selling expenses. Corporate expenses, depreciation, interest expense, other income, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments but are listed in the “Other” row below. Corporate expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management, warehouse operations and building facilities management. Our assets and liabilities are not allocated on a segment basis. Separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. For the Company, the Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Any payments received prior to the end of the period that were not shipped as of May 31, 2026 or February 28, 2026 are recorded as deferred revenues on the balance sheets. We received approximately $417,000 and $320,500 as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively, in payments for sales orders which were, or will be, shipped out subsequent to the end of the period.</p> 417000 320500 false false false false 0000031667 false 2027 Q1 --02-28 The Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward was generated from losses incurred in fiscal 2025 and first quarter of fiscal 2027. The Company’s NOL can be carried forward indefinitely but are limited to an 80% maximum offset of taxable income. The Company’s disallowed interest was generated from interest expense that was not deductible for tax purposes due to a maximum allowable deduction of 30% of taxable income. The disallowed interest is carried forward to be deducted against future income, subject to the 30% limitation. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance and the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company utilized the framework contained in ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” pursuant to which management analysed all positive and negative evidence available at the balance sheet date to determine whether all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. In conclusion, management placed significant emphasis on guidance in ASC 740, which includes that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Based upon available evidence, it was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that certain deferred tax assets were not realizable as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets.
