EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT UNDER THE CARES ACT | Note 8 EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT UNDER THE CARES ACT The CARES Act, passed by Congress on March 27, 2020, contained the employee retention credit (ERC), a refundable payroll tax credit to employers that have experienced hardship in their operations due to COVID-19. The CARES Act was amended and extended on December 27, 2020 by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “CAA”) and in March 2021, the Internal Revenue Code was amended by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to provide new employee retention credit provisions designed to promote employee retention and hiring. This ERC is a fully refundable tax credit for employers equal to 70 percent of qualified wages that eligible employers pay their employees. This ERC applies to qualified wages paid after December 2020 and before January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company has determined that it qualified for a $ 920,299 MICROPAC INDUSTRIES, INC.

Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Note 2 to the Financial Statements in the Quarterly Report Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 27, 2022, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The core principle of revenue recognition under accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (GAAP) is that the Company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue on the majority of its customer contracts are recognized at a point in time, generally upon shipment of products. The application of GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, the determination of whether revenues related to our revenue contracts should be recognized over time or at a point in time, as these determinations impact the timing and amount of our reported revenues and net income. Other significant judgments include the estimation of the point in the manufacturing process at which we are entitled to receive payment, as well as the progress of the job order to completion in order to determine the amount of consideration earned for contractual revenue recognized over time. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected. Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of changing customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. If we were to determine we would not be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be necessary which would reduce our net income for that period. Depreciable and useful lives estimated for property and equipment are based on initial expectations of the period of time these assets will provide benefit. Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business or other factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the value of these assets Results of Operations Three months ended Nine months ended 8/27/2022 8/28/2021 8/27/2022 8/28/2021 NET SALES 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % COST AND EXPENSES: Cost of Goods Sold 52.9 % 53.9 % 55.4 % 56.6 % Research and development 8.2 % 6.2 % 7.6 % 6.3 % Selling, general & administrative expenses 32.1 % 20.2 % 29.0 % 23.3 % Total cost and expenses 93.2 % 80.3 % 92.0 % 86.2 % OPERATING INCOME BEFORE INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES 6.8 % 19.7 % 8.0 % 13.8 % Interest and other income 13.9 % (2.6 %) 4.8 % (0.9 %) INCOME BEFORE TAXES 20.7 % 17.2 % 12.8 % 12.9 % Provision for taxes 4.7 % 3.9 % 2.6 % 2.4 % NET INCOME 16.0 % 13.3 % 10.2 % 10.5 % Sales for the three and nine month periods ended August 27, 2022 totaled $6,940,000 and $20,194,000, respectively.
