Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1)

Description of the Company

Unless otherwise specified, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Art's-Way," and the "Company" refer to Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in 1956. Since that time, it has become a major worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Its principal manufacturing plant is located in Armstrong, Iowa.

The Company has organized its business into threeoperating segments. Management separately evaluates the financial results of each segment because each is a strategic business unit offering different products and requiring different technology and marketing strategies. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art's-Way Manufacturing label and private labels. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for animal containment and various laboratory uses, and the Tools segment manufactures steel cutting tools and inserts.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Statement Presentation

The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2021.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic created some new challenges for the Company through the firstnine months of fiscal 2021. The Company has experienced results consistent with that of a strengthening economy including increased demand in all threesegments compared to fiscal 2020. With increased demand, material prices have been skyrocketing, while labor availability has been scarce. These factors will be a challenge for the Company as it works to fulfill its strong backlog over the remainder of fiscal 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the Company's business operations and financial operating results and there is uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time. Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q) for further discussion.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2020, to identify the non-cash expense related to changes in the Company's obsolete inventory reserve in the amount of $180,758. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A full description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of twelve months or greater. The Company adopted this guidance for fiscal 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, including interim periods within that reporting period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior comparative periods. The Company has a moderate amount of leasing activity mainly as the lessee of office equipment and as the lessor of modular rental buildings. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized $34,316 as a right-of-use asset and $34,316 of lease liabilities on the balance sheet in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 for office equipment it leases. The Company's activity as a lessor will remain mostly unaffected by this guidance.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss ("CECL") impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting entities, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 in fiscal 2024. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on its allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable.

Contract Receivables, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The following table provides information about contract receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

		August 31, 2021			November 30, 2020
Receivables		$	2,956,000			$	2,391,000
Assets			3,000				56,000
Liabilities			752,000				276,000

The amount of revenue recognized in the firstnine months of fiscal 2021 that was included in a contract liability as of November 30, 2020 was approximately $276,000 compared to $89,000 in the same period of fiscal 2020. Contract receivables increased in the nine months ending August 31, 2021 due to progress billings on contracts in progress in the Modular Buildings segment while the Agricultural Products and Tools segments sales and receivables held steady. Contract assets decreased during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 as progress billings were made on contracts in progress in the Modular Buildings segment. Contract liabilities increased during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 as the Company billed down payments on new construction contracts in the Modular Buildings segment and received deposits for early order programs on equipment in the Agricultural Products segment.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient exception for these contracts and will report only on performance obligations greater than one year. As of August 31, 2021, the Company has no performance obligations with an original expected duration greater than one year.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus equivalent shares assuming exercise of stock options. Potential shares of common stock that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share have been computed based on the following as of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020:

		For the Three Months Ended

Product Warranty

The Company offers warranties of various lengths to its customers depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The average length of the warranty period is oneyear from the date of purchase. The Company's warranties require it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. Product warranty is included in the price of the product and provides assurance that the product will function in accordance with agreed-upon specifications. It does not represent a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. The Company records a liability for estimated costs that may be incurred under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience and any specific warranty issues that have been identified. Although historical warranty costs have been within expectations, there can be no assurance that future warranty costs will not exceed historical amounts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the balance as necessary. The accrued warranty balance is included in accrued expenses as shown in Note 7 "Accrued Expenses." Changes in the Company's product warranty liability for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 are as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended
		August 31, 2021			August 31, 2020

Loan and Credit Agreements

The Company maintains two revolving lines of credit and one term loan with Bank Midwest. The Company also has three term loans with the U.S. Small Business Administration under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.

Bank Midwest Revolving Lines of Credit and Term Loan

The Company maintains a credit facility with Bank Midwest consisting of a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit (the "2017 Line of Credit") used for working capital purposes, and a $2,600,000 term loan due October 1, 2037 (the "Term Loan"). On August 31, 2021, the balance of the 2017 Line of Credit was $4,290,030 with $709,970 remaining available, as may be limited by the borrowing base calculation. The 2017 Line of Credit borrowing base is an amount equal to 75% of accounts receivable balances (discounted for aged receivables), plus 50% of inventory, less any outstanding loan balance on the 2017 Line of Credit. On August 31, 2021, the 2017 Line of Credit was not limited by the borrowing base calculation. Any unpaid principal amount borrowed on the 2017 Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.00% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.75% per annum and the current interest rate is 4.75% per annum. The 2017 Line of Credit was most recently renewed on February 11, 2021. The 2017 Line of Credit matures on March 30, 2022 and requires monthly interest-only payments.

The Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of 5.00% for the firstsixty months. Thereafter, the Term Loan will accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 0.75% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.15% per annum and the interest rate may only be adjusted by Bank Midwest once every five years. Monthly payments of $17,271 for principal and interest are required. The Term Loan is also guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA"), which required an upfront guarantee fee of $62,400 and requires an annual fee of 0.5% of the unpaid balance. As part of the USDA guarantee requirements, shareholders owning more than 20% are required to personally guarantee a portion of the Term Loan, in an amount equal to their stock ownership percentage. J. Ward McConnell, Jr., the former Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and a shareholder owning more than 20% of the Company's outstanding stock, guaranteed approximately 38% of the Term Loan, for an annual fee of 2% of the personally guaranteed amount. J. Ward McConnell, Jr. passed away on May 31, 2021, and his shares are currently held in trust. The USDA will require any shareholders owning 20% once the trust assets are distributed to guarantee a portion of the Term Loan. The initial guarantee fee will be amortized over the life of the Term Loan, and the annual fees and personally guaranteed amounts are expensed monthly.

On February 13, 2019, the Company opened a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit (the "2019 Line of Credit") with Bank Midwest in connection with bonding obligations for the Company's performance of a large modular laboratory construction project. Funds under the 2019 Line of Credit will be undisbursed to the Company and will be held by Bank Midwest in connection with an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by Bank Midwest for the project. The 2019 Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.00% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.25% per annum and the current interest rate is 4.75% per annum. The 2019 Line of Credit was most recently renewed on February 2, 2021. The 2019 Line of Credit is payable upon demand by Bank Midwest. If no earlier demand is made, the unpaid principal and accrued interest will be payable in one payment, due on February 13, 2022. As of August 31, 2021, the funds on the 2019 Line of Credit remain undisbursed and are held by Bank Midwest. The Company has completed its obligation on the construction project and is expecting the irrevocable letter of credit to be released in Q4 of 2021.

The Term Loan is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated September 28, 2017, entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest. Each of the 2017 and 2019 Lines of Credit is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated February 11, 2021 and February 2, 2021, respectively, entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest.

In connection with the 2017 Line of Credit, the Company, Art's-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. each entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with Bank Midwest, dated September 28, 2017, pursuant to which each granted to Bank Midwest a first priority security interest in certain inventory, equipment, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and other assets to secure the obligations of the Company under the line of credit. Each of Art's-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. also agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company pursuant to the 2017 Line of Credit, as set forth in Commercial Guaranties, each dated September 28, 2017. The 2019 Line of Credit is also secured by these existing security documents.

To further secure the 2017 Line of Credit, the Company granted Bank Midwest a mortgage on its Canton, Ohio property held by Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. The 2019 Line of Credit is also secured by the mortgage on the Canton, Ohio property. The Term Loan is secured by a mortgage on the Company's Armstrong, Iowa and Monona, Iowa properties. Each mortgage is governed by the terms of a separate Mortgage, dated September 28, 2017, and each property is also subject to a separate Assignment of Rents, dated September 28, 2017.

If the Company or its subsidiaries (as guarantors pursuant to the Commercial Guaranties) commits an event of default with respect to the promissory notes and fails or is unable to cure that default, Bank Midwest may immediately terminate its obligation, if any, to make additional loans to the Company and may accelerate the Company's obligations under the promissory notes. Bank Midwest shall also have all other rights and remedies for default provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as any other applicable law and the various loan agreements. In addition, in an event of default, Bank Midwest may foreclose on the mortgaged property.

Compliance with Bank Midwest covenants is measured annually on November 30. A maximum debt to net worth ratio of 1 to 1 must be maintained, with a minimum of 40% tangible balance sheet equity, with variations subject to mutual agreement. The Company is out of compliance with the debt to net worth covenant as of August 31, 2021. The Company expects to need a waiver for this covenant on or prior to November 30, 2021. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25, with a 0.10 tolerance. The Company also must receive bank approval for purchases or sales of equipment over $100,000 annually and maintain reasonable salaries and owner compensation. The Company received the necessary approvals for purchases of equipment over $100,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2021. The Company was out of compliance with its debt service coverage ratio and the prior minimum working capital requirements covenants in place under the Bank Midwest loans as of November 30, 2020. Bank Midwest issued a waiver forgiving the noncompliance, and in turn waived the event of default. The Company is currently projecting to be in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio as of November 30, 2021.

On January 12, 2021, Bank Midwest amended the Company's working capital requirement of maintaining a minimum working capital ratio of 1.75, while also maintaining $5,100,000 of working capital. The new covenant requires the Company to maintain a working capital requirement of $4,000,000 and eliminates the requirement to maintain a minimum working capital ratio of 1.75. The $4,000,000 working capital level serves as a trigger point for Bank Midwest and the Company to continue discussion of capital raising strategies to support additional capital injection. This new covenant is measured monthly. As of February 28, 2021, the Company was out of compliance with the working capital covenant by $240,885. On March 22, 2021, Bank Midwest issued a letter to the Company allowing correction of the noncompliance by May 31, 2021. As of May 31, 2021, the Company was out of compliance with the working capital requirement by $126,496, which triggered communication with Bank Midwest to evaluate the Company's strategy to get back into compliance with the covenant. The Company and Bank Midwest determined that the Company's strategy to utilize additional funds available under the Economic Injury Disaster Loans ("EIDL") was acceptable. On August 31, 2021, the Company had $1,050,000 of Economic Injury Disaster Loans ("EIDL") pending with the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"), which, once received, are expected to put the Company back in compliance.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans

On June 18, 2020, and again on June 24, 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing loans offered by the SBA under its EIDL assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business. Two loans were executed on June 18, 2020, with principal amounts of $150,000 each, with a third loan executed on June 24, 2020, with a principal amount of $150,000.Proceeds from these EIDLs are being used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue from the date of inception. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly, twelve months from the date of the EIDLs, in the amount of $731 per EIDL. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the EIDL. The EIDLs are secured by a security interest on all of the Company's assets. Each EIDL is governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated either June 18, 2020, or June 24, 2020, as applicable, entered into by the Company or the applicable subsidiary.

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted, which extends the first due date for repayment of EIDLs made in 2020 to 24 months from the date of the note. This act also increased the maximum loan amount from $150,000 to $500,000 per entity. The Company requested EIDL increases of $350,000 per entity under this program for a total of $1,050,000 in additional funding.

Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Based Compensation

On February 25, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") authorized and approved the Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"). The 2020 Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 30, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced the Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") and added an additional 500,000 shares to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards. Nofurther awards will be made under the 2011 Plan or other prior plans. Awards to directors and executive officers under the 2020 Plan are governed by the forms of agreement approved by the Board of Directors. Stock options or other awards granted prior to February 25, 2020, are governed by the applicable prior plan and the forms of agreement adopted thereunder.

The 2020 Plan permits the plan administrator to award nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees (including officers), directors, and consultants. The Board has approved a director compensation policy pursuant to which non-employee directors are automatically granted restricted stock awards of 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock annually or initially upon their election to the Board and another 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock on the last business day of each fiscal quarter.

Stock Issuance		For the Three Months Ended
		August 31, 2021			August 31, 2020
Shares issued to directors (immediate vesting)			5,000				5,000
Shares issued to directors, employees, and consultants (three-year vesting)			-				-
Total shares issued			5,000				5,000

Shares issued to directors, employees, and consultants (three-year vesting)			88,500				123,917
Total shares issued			108,500				143,917

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based option award on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock and other factors. The Company uses historical option exercise and termination data to estimate the expected term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the option issuance date.

Stock Based Compensation Expense		For the Three Months Ended
		August 31, 2021			August 31, 2020
Stock-based compensation expense			61,446				42,910

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 August 31, 2021, and November 30, 2020, the carrying amount approximated fair value for cash, accounts receivable, net investment in sales-type leases, accounts payable, notes payable to bank, 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 net investment in sales-type leases also approximates recorded value as that 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 Company's term loans payable also approximates recorded value because the interest rates charged under the loan terms are not substantially different from current interest rates.

Results of Operations

Net Sales and Cost of Sales

Our consolidated corporate sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021 were $6,592,000 and $17,703,000, respectively, compared to $6,465,000 and $16,937,000 during the same respective periods in fiscal 2020, a $127,000, or a 2.0%, increase for the three months and a $766,000, or 4.5%, increase for the nine months. We saw sales growth of over 26% in both our Agricultural Products and Tools segments for Q3 of fiscal 2021, respectively, while we saw approximately a 43% decrease in our Modular Buildings segment for such period. Year-to-date, our Agricultural Products and Tools segments both saw increased sales from a year ago while the Modular Buildings segment was down approximately 32%. Consolidated gross margin for the three-month period ended August 31, 2021 was 26.4% compared to 14.3% for the same period in fiscal 2020. Consolidated gross margin for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2021 was 25.4% compared to 17.1% for the same period in fiscal 2020. We saw increased gross margin improvement on all three segments for the three months ended August 31, 2021, while we also had gross margin improvement in two of our three segments for the nine months ended August 31, 2021.

Our third quarter sales in the Agricultural Products segment were $4,660,000 compared to $3,671,000 during the same period of fiscal 2020, an increase of $989,000, or 26.9%. Our year-to-date Agricultural Product sales were $12,017,000 compared to $9,695,000 during the same period in fiscal 2020, an increase of $2,322,000, or 24.0%. We attribute the large increase in revenue to a strengthening agricultural economy that is producing five to ten year highs in commodity and livestock prices along with government assistance programs that provided farmers with much needed government assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to the nine months ending August 30, 2020, we had a 71% increase in our grinder mixer sales, a 60% increase in beet equipment and a 13% increase in manure spreader sales. We expect continued demand in the fourth quarter with our current ag backlog up 269% from a year ago. Supplier delays have improved but are not gone completely. We also continue to receive price increases from our suppliers. Further price increases before our early order program will be necessary to maintain strong margins on our products. It is currently challenging to get production employees on board with the lack of available workforce in our community and a highly competitive job market. We are taking steps to automate production tasks with the use of robotic welding and other new equipment to help us increase efficiency and output. Gross margin for our Agricultural Products segment for the three-month period ended August 31, 2021 was 27.4% compared to 21.5% for the same period in fiscal 2020. Gross margin for our Agricultural Products segment for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2021 was 29.6% compared to 21.3% for the same period in fiscal 2020. The increased gross margin in fiscal 2021 is a reflection of continuous improvement initiatives enacted over the past few years that have boosted our workforce production efficiency, product eliminations that have improved our margins and eliminated production floor disruption, price increases enacted to combat rising material prices and fixed overhead spread over a larger production base.

Our third quarter sales in the Modular Buildings segment were $1,313,000 compared to $2,319,000 for the same period in fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1,006,000, or 43.4%. Sales in our Modular Buildings segment for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 were $3,798,000 compared to $5,575,000 for the same period in fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1,777,000, or 31.9%. The decrease in sales for the quarter and the year is largely due to the completion of a large laboratory project in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. While revenue is down the quality of our revenue has improved. Gross margin for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021 was 25.8% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 2.4% and 8.6% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020. The large laboratory product had thinner margins than our typical construction projects because of the sheer volume of the contract and the role of general contractor we took on during the project, which is not our typical role. The modular buildings segment has a strong backlog moving into the fourth quarter which can provide positive results as long as supply chain delays do not affect our construction material deliveries.

Our Tools segment had sales of $619,000 and $1,888,000 during the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, respectively, compared to $475,000 and $1,667,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020, a 30.3% increase and a 13.3% increase, respectively. The increase in sales for the quarter and year to date fiscal 2021 is due to better economic conditions than existed a year ago during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the oil and gas industry demand has not returned to its pre-pandemic levels, it is improved over a year ago. Gross margin was 20.0% for both the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, compared to 17.1% and 21.1% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020. The gross margin increase in Q3 of fiscal 2021 is due to increased sales volume available to cover fixed costs while the year-to-date gross margin decrease is due to the need to increase production wages to hire and retain production employees.

Expenses

Our third quarter consolidated selling expenses were $532,000 compared to $370,000 for the same period in fiscal 2020. Our year-to-date selling expenses were $1,549,000 in fiscal 2021 compared to $1,227,000 for the same period in fiscal 2020. The Agricultural Products segment contributed largely to the increase in selling expenses as we added a product development manager in November of 2020 to help us bring new products to market and improve on existing product lines. We also underwent a rebranding effort in our Agricultural Products segment that included a new logo, promotional videos and updated website which contributed to the increase in selling expenses. Additionally, we saw increased commissions as a result of increased sales in the Agricultural Products segment. The modular buildings segment also had increased commission expenses as a surge of ag buildings were sold in Q3 of fiscal 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.1% and 8.7% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, respectively, compared to 5.7% and 7.3% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020.

Consolidated engineering expenses were $144,000 and $387,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, respectively, compared to $129,000 and $361,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020. The increase in engineering expenses were related to wage increases implemented to retain skilled engineers in a highly competitive job market. Engineering expenses as a percentage of sales were 2.2% and 2.2% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, respectively, compared to 2.0% and 2.1% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020.

Consolidated administrative expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021 were $902,000 and $2,627,000, respectively, compared to $939,000 and $3,216,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020. The decrease in administrative expenses is the result of non-recurring expenses incurred in 2020 including approximately $133,000 of recruitment expense for management recruitment, dual management salaries of approximately $68,000 as we transitioned our Chief Executive Officer and director of materials positions, approximately $54,000 for the implementation of our OEM customer's product line in the tools segment, and additional expense of $280,000 that included stock granted to new management staff, payout of employment agreements and bonus accruals for incentives offered by the Compensation Committee of the Board for fiscal 2020 targets. We also had $197,000 of pandemic-related expense related to employment rewards for keeping our operations running safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 13.7% and 14.8% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2021, respectively, compared to 14.5% and 19.0% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2020.

Net Income (Loss)

Consolidated net income was $56,000 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $(424,000) for the same period in fiscal 2020. Our consolidated net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was $(195,000) compared to $(1,663,000). We have now reported two straight quarters with net income after a long stretch of losses. The overall health of the agricultural economy has stabilized our primary business segment while operational improvements made during our down years have proven to increase our productivity in this time of high demand. We have combated labor shortages, rising material costs and supply chain delays well to this point, but believe the economic effects of COVID-19 have hampered greater earnings potential. We are set up well in regards to backlog to have a strong finish to fiscal 2021.

Order Backlog

The consolidated order backlog net of discounts as of October 8, 2021, was $5,941,000 compared to $3,440,000 as of October 8, 2020, an increase of $2,501,000 or 73%. The Agricultural Products segment order backlog was $3,598,000 as of October 8, 2021, compared to $974,000 in fiscal 2020 an increase of $2,624,0000 or 269%. We expect strong demand for our agricultural products to continue into 2022. The backlog for the modular buildings segment was $1,998,000 as of October 8, 2021, compared to $2,124,000 in fiscal 2020. Approximately $1,610,000 of the fiscal 2020 comparative backlog was related to a large project that had a lower profit margin than our typical projects. Because of this, we expect better results in Q4 of fiscal 2021 despite the lower backlog. The backlog for the tools segment was $345,000 as of October 8, 2021, compared to $341,000 in fiscal 2020. The oil and gas industry business we were accustomed to has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, however, we are still seeing strong demand on our other products. Our order backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue to be generated from such orders due to the possibility of order cancellations and dealer discount arrangements we may enter into from time to time.

Potential Impact of COVID-19

Management cannot predict the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, we are seeing lasting effects of the pandemic negatively affect our supply chain. Employment disruptions, increased material costs and overall demand for products have delayed the receipt of parts and components needed for production. We anticipate continued delays over the next few quarters. This problem is widespread and does not create an advantage for our competitors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A primary source of funds for the nine months ended August 31, 2021 was cash provided by financing activities, mainly the use of our line of credit. Cash deposits in our first and second early order programs were also a primary source of cash for us in the nine months ending August 31, 2021. Our primary use of cash was related to increasing inventory levels to meet the high levels of demand. With uncertainty on component availability, prolonged lead times and rising prices, we have been bringing in inventory far earlier than previous years, which is consuming the availability on our line of credit. We expect our primary capital needs for the remainder of fiscal 2021 to relate to operating costs, primarily production costs, fulfillment of customer deposits, and the retirement of debt. We expect to convert $1,050,000 of current debt to long-term debt in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 provided our EIDL loan modifications are approved and processed with the SBA and also expect our line of credit to decrease as we turn through inventory in the fourth fiscal quarter.

We have a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Bank Midwest that, as of August 31, 2021, had an outstanding principal balance of $4,290,030. This line of credit is scheduled to mature on March 30, 2022.

We believe cash from operations and our current financing arrangements will provide sufficient cash to finance operations and pay debt when due during the next twelve months. We expect to continue to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms.
