Bisco also provides customized services and solutions for a wide range of production needs, including special packaging, bin stocking, kitting and assembly,bar coding, electronic requisitioning, and integrated supply programs, among others. Bisco works with its customers to design and develop systems to meettheir specific needs. Divisions Bisco IndustriesBisco sells the full spectrum of products that it offers too many markets, but primarily sells to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Whilehistorically, the substantial majority of Bisco’s revenues have been derived from the Bisco Industries division, Bisco has also established additionaldivisions that specialize in specific industries and products.

Bisco strives to provideexceptional service to all customers, including smaller businesses, and continues to focus on growing its share of that market. As of August 31, 2015, Biscohad more than 6000 active customers; however, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Bisco’s revenues for the fiscal year ended August 31,2015 (“fiscal 2015”). For each of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, Bisco’s top 20 customers represented in the aggregate approximately 11%of Bisco’s distribution sales, respectively. Bisco generally sells its products through its sales representatives in its 48 sales offices located in the United States and Canada. Customers can also placeorders through Bisco’s website. Bisco currently maintains seven distribution centers located in Anaheim and San Jose, California; Dallas, Texas; Chicago,Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Georgia; and Toronto, Canada. Each of Bisco’s selling facilities and distribution centers are linked to Bisco’s centralcomputer system, which provides Bisco’s salespersons with online, real-time data regarding inventory levels throughout Bisco and facilitates control ofpurchasing, shipping and billing. Bisco generally ships products to customers from one of its 7 distribution centers, based on the geographic proximity andthe availability of the ordered products. Bisco sells its products primarily in the United States and Canada. Bisco’s international sales represented 8.6% and 7% of its sales fiscal years ended August31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales to customers in Canada accounted for approximately 46% and 58% of such international sales in the fiscal yearsended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Suppliers As of August 31, 2015, Bisco offered the products of over 260 manufacturers. The authorized distributor agreements with most manufacturers are typicallycancelable by either party at any time or on short notice. While Bisco doesn’t manufacture its products, it does provide kitting and packaging services forcertain of its customers. Although Bisco sells more products of certain brands, Bisco believes that most of the products it sells are available from other sourcesat competitive prices. No single supplier accounted for more than 10% of Bisco’s purchases in fiscal 2015. Employees As of August 31, 2015, the Company had 424 full time employees, of which 291 were in sales and marketing and 133 were in management, administrationand finance. Item 1A. Risk Factors Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are discussed below. Other risks are presented elsewhere in this report and in our other filingswith the SEC, including our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results ofoperations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for shares of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of yourinvestment. Changes and uncertainties in the economy have harmed and could continue to harm our operating results. As a result of the continuing economic uncertainties, our operating results, and the economic strength of our customers and suppliers, are increasinglydifficult to predict. Sales of our products are affected by many factors, including, among others, general economic conditions, interest rates, inflation,liquidity in the credit markets, unemployment trends, geopolitical events, and other factors. Although we sell our products to customers in a broad range ofindustries, the significant weakening of economic conditions on a global scale has caused some of our customers to experience a slowdown that has hadadverse effects on our sales and operating results. Changes and uncertainties in the economy also increase the risk of uncollectible accounts receivable. Thepricing we receive from suppliers may also be impacted by general economic conditions. Continued and future changes and uncertainties in the economicclimate in the United States and elsewhere could have a similar negative impact on the rate and amounts of purchases by our current and potential customers,create price inflation for our products, or otherwise have a negative impact on our expenses, gross margins and revenues, and could hinder our growth. 2 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting or experience additional material weaknesses in our system ofinternal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely or detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect onthe market price of our common stock and our business. We have from time to time had material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting due to deficiencies in the process related to thepreparation of our financial statements, segregation of duties, sufficient control in the area of financial reporting oversight and review, and appropriatepersonnel to ensure the complete and proper application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as it relates tocertain routine accounting transactions. Although we believe we have addressed these material weaknesses, we may experience material weaknesses in thefuture and may fail to maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting that complies with the reporting requirements applicable to publiccompanies in the United States. Our failure to address any deficiencies or weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or to properly maintainan effective system of internal control over financial reporting could impact our ability to prevent fraud or to issue our financial statements in a timelymanner that presents fairly ‘in accordance with GAAP’ our financial condition and results of operations. The existence of any such deficiencies and/orweaknesses, even if cured, may also lead to the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, could harm our business andnegatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Such deficiencies or material weaknesses may also subject us to lawsuits, investigations and otherpenalties. We have incurred significant losses in the past from trading in securities, and we may incur such losses in the future, which may also cause us to be inviolation of covenants under our loan agreement. Bisco has historically made investments in marketable domestic equity securities. Bisco’s investment strategy includes taking both long and short positions,as well as utilizing options to maximize return. This strategy can lead, and has led, to significant losses based on market conditions and trends. We may incurlosses in future periods from such trading activities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. In addition, unanticipated losses from our trading activities may cause Bisco to be in violation of certain covenants under its revolving line of creditagreement with Community Bank. There was zero balance outstanding as of August 31, 2015 and $1,684,000 outstanding in August 31, 2014 under itsagreement with Community Bank, which loan is secured by substantially all of Bisco’s assets and is guaranteed by Mr. Ceiley, our Chairman and CEO. Theagreement contains covenants which require that, on a quarterly basis, Bisco’s losses from trading in securities not exceed its pre-tax operating income. Wecannot assure you that unanticipated losses from our trading activities will not cause us to violate our covenants in the future or that the bank will grant awaiver for any such default or that it will not exercise its remedies, which could include the refusal to allow additional borrowings on the line of credit, theacceleration of the obligation’s maturity date and foreclosure on Bisco’s assets, with respect to any such noncompliance, which could have a material adverseeffect on our business and operations. 3 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. We rely heavily on our internal information systems, which, if not properly functioning, could materially and adversely affect our business. Our information systems have been in place for many years, and are subject to system failures as well as problems caused by human error, which could have amaterial adverse effect on our business. Many of our systems consist of a number of legacy or internally developed applications, which can be more difficultto upgrade to commercially available software. It may be time consuming and costly for us to retrieve data that is necessary for management to evaluate oursystems of control and information flow. In the future, management may decide to convert our information systems to a single enterprise solution. Such aconversion, while it would enhance the accessibility and reliability of our data, could be expensive and would not be without risk of data loss, delay orbusiness interruption. Maintaining and operating these systems requires continuous investments. Failure of any of these internal information systems ormaterial difficulties in upgrading these information systems could have material adverse effects on our business and our timely compliance with our reportingobligations. We may not be able to attract and retain key personnel. Our future performance will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of certain key management and other personnel, including GlenCeiley, our CEO and Chairman of the Board, and Don Wagner, Bisco’s President, as well as other executive officers and senior management. The loss ofservice of one or more of our key management members could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not have long-term supply agreements or guaranteed price or delivery arrangements with the majority of our suppliers. In most cases, we have no guaranteed price or delivery arrangements with our suppliers. Consequently, we may experience inventory shortages on certainproducts. Furthermore, our industry occasionally experiences significant product supply shortages and customer order backlogs due to the inability of certainmanufacturers to supply products as needed. We cannot assure you that suppliers will maintain an adequate supply of products to fulfill our orders on atimely basis, at a recoverable cost, or at all, or that we will be able to obtain particular products on favorable terms or at all. Additionally, we cannot assureyou that product lines currently offered by suppliers will continue to be available to us. A decline in the supply or continued availability of the products ofour suppliers, or a significant increase in the price of those products, could reduce our sales and negatively affect our operating results. Our supply agreements are generally terminable at the suppliers’ discretion. Substantially all of the agreements we have with our suppliers, including our authorized distributor agreements, are terminable with little or no notice andwithout any penalty. Suppliers that currently sell their products through us could decide to sell, or increase their sales of, their products directly or throughother distributors or channels. Any termination, interruption or adverse modification of our relationship with a key supplier or a significant number of othersuppliers would likely adversely affect our operating income, cash flow and future prospects. The competitive pressures we face could have a material adverse effect on our business. The market for our products and services is very competitive. We compete for customers with other distributors, as well as with many of our suppliers. Afailure to maintain and enhance our competitive position could adversely affect our business and prospects. Furthermore, our efforts to compete in themarketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, personnel,capacity and other resources or a more extensive customer base than we do. Our strategy of expanding into new geographic areas could be costly. One of our primary growth strategies is to grow our business through the opening of sales offices in new geographic markets. Based on our analysis ofdemographics in the United States, Canada and Mexico, we currently estimate there is potential market opportunity in North America to support additionalsales offices. We cannot guarantee that our estimates are accurate or that we will open enough offices to capitalize on the full market opportunity or that anynew offices will be successful. In addition, a particular local market’s ability to support a sales office may change because of a change due to competition, orlocal economic conditions. 4 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. We may be unable to meet our goals regarding new office openings. Our growth, in part, is primarily dependent on our ability to attract new customers. Historically, an effective way to attract new customers has been openingnew sales offices. One of our current business strategies focuses on opening and quickly growing new sales offices in markets or geographic regions withpotential for growth. However, we may not be able to open or grow new offices at our projected or desired rates or hire the qualified sales personnel necessaryto make such new offices successful. Failure to do so could negatively impact our long-term growth and market share. Opening sales offices in new markets presents increased risks that may prevent us from being profitable in these new locations, and/or may adverselyaffect our operating results. Our new sales offices do not typically achieve operating results comparable to our existing offices until after several years of operation. The added expensesrelating to payroll, occupancy and transportation costs can impact our ability to leverage earnings. In addition, offices in new geographic areas faceadditional challenges to achieving profitability. In new markets, we have less familiarity with local customer preferences and customers in these markets areless familiar with our name and capabilities. Entry into new markets may also bring us into competition with new, unfamiliar competitors. These challengesassociated with opening new offices in new markets may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. We may not be able to identify new products and products lines, or obtain new product on favorable terms and prices or at all. Our success depends in part on our ability to develop product expertise and identify future products and product lines that complement existing products andproduct lines and that respond to our customers’ needs. We may not be able to compete effectively unless our product selection keeps up with trends in themarkets in which we compete. Our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified sales personnel is uncertain. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales employees, who understand andappreciate our strategy and culture and are able to adequately represent us to our customers. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number neededto fill these positions may be in short supply in some areas, and the turnover rate in the industry is high. If we are unable to hire and retain personnel capableof consistently providing a high level of customer service, as demonstrated by their enthusiasm for our culture and product knowledge, our sales could bematerially adversely affected. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number ofemployees. An inability to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals in the future may also delay the planned openings of new offices.Any such delays, material increases in existing employee turnover rates, or increases in labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition or operating results. We generally do not have long-term sales contracts with our customers. Most of our sales are made on a purchase order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. A variety of conditions, both specific to each customerand generally affecting each customer’s industry, may cause customers to reduce, cancel or delay orders that were either previously made or anticipated, gobankrupt or fail, or default on their payments. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions, delays in orders by customers, losses of customers, and/orcustomer defaults on payment could materially adversely affect our business. 5 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Increases in the costs of energy, shipping and raw materials used in our products could impact our cost of goods and distribution and occupancyexpenses, which would result in lower operating margins. Costs of raw materials used in our products and energy costs have been rising during the last several years, which has resulted in increased production costsfor our suppliers. These suppliers typically look to pass their increased costs along to us through price increases. The shipping costs for our products haverisen as well and may continue to rise. While we typically try to pass increased supplier prices and shipping costs through to our customers or to modify ouractivities to mitigate the impact, we may not be successful. Failure to fully pass these increased prices and costs through to our customers or to modify ouractivities to mitigate the impact would have an adverse effect on our operating margins. The Company’s Chairman and CEO holds almost all of our voting stock and can control the election of directors and significant corporate actions. Glen Ceiley, our Chairman and CEO, owns approximately 98% of our outstanding voting stock. Mr. Ceiley is able to exert significant influence over theoutcome of almost all corporate matters, including significant corporate transactions requiring a shareholder vote, such as a merger or a sale of the Companyor our assets. This concentration of ownership and influence in management and board decision-making could also harm the price of our common stock by,among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our common stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) orotherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company. Sales of our common stock by Glen Ceiley could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Historically there has been limited trading of our common stock, and the volume of any sales is generally low. As of August 31, 2015, the number of sharesheld by non-affiliates of Mr. Ceiley is approximately 90,000 shares. If Mr. Ceiley sells or seeks to sell a substantial number of his shares of our common stockin the future, the market price of our common stock could decline. The perception among investors that these sales may occur could produce the same effect. Inclement weather and other disruptions to the transportation network could impact our distribution system. Our ability to provide efficient shipment of products to our customers is an integral component of our overall business strategy. Disruptions at distributioncenters or shipping ports may affect our ability to both maintain core products in inventory and deliver products to our customers on a timely basis, whichmay in turn adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, severe weather conditions could adversely impact demand for our products in particularlyhard hit regions. Our advertising and marketing efforts may be costly and may not achieve desired results. We incur substantial expense in connection with our advertising and marketing efforts. Postage represents a significant advertising expense for us because wegenerally mail fliers to current and potential customers through the U.S. Postal Service. Any future increases in postal rates will increase our mailing expensesand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not have adequate or cost-effective capital resources. Our ability to satisfy our cash needs depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and to access our line of credit and the capital markets, all ofwhich are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We may need to satisfyour cash needs through external financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis or at all. 6 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations Overview From the inception of the Company through June 2005, EACO’s business consisted of operating restaurants in the State of Florida. On June 29, 2005, EACOsold all of its operating restaurants and other assets used in the restaurant operations. All the remaining activity from the restaurant operations (whichprincipally consisted of managing five real estate properties held for leasing in Florida and California) is presented as discontinued operations in theaccompanying consolidated financial statements. Prior to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”), the Company had two reportable businesssegments: the Distribution segment, which consisted of the operations of Bisco and its subsidiary, and the Real Estate Rental segment, which consisted ofmanaging the rental properties in Florida and California. The Company sold two of its real estate properties in fiscal 2013 and sold its remaining real estateproperties in fiscal 2014. Accordingly, beginning in fiscal 2014, the Company no longer reported its financial results under two separate segments. Critical Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Company’s shipping terms are FOB shipping point. As such, management generally recognizes distribution operations revenue at the time of productshipment. Revenue is considered to be realized or realizable and earned when there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement in the form of an executedcontract or purchase order, the product has been shipped (and installed when applicable), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability isreasonably assured. Impairment of Long Lived Assets The Company’s policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of anasset may not be recoverable. For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual basis. The recoverability of the assets is measuredby a comparison of the carrying value of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets areconsidered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. Liabilities of Discontinued Operations The liabilities of discontinued operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the current and long-term accruals of theremaining estimated worker’s compensation claim liabilities relating to the former restaurant operations of EACO which were discontinued in June 2005.Prior to the discontinuance of its restaurant operations, EACO self-insured workers’ compensation claims losses up to certain limits. The estimated remainingliability at August 31, 2015 and 2014 is determined based on the present value of the estimated uninsured losses which are unpaid as of each of therespective balance sheet dates. The estimate is reviewed at each reporting date at each fiscal year end, the Company obtains an actuarial report whichestimates its overall exposure based on historical claims and an evaluation of future claims, and adjustments to the estimated claims liability, if any, arereflected in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company pursues recovery of certain claims from aninsurance carrier. Recoveries, if any, are recognized when realization is reasonably assured. 8 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent management believe these assets will morelikely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduledreversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income (if any), tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. Results of Operations Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 Revenues and Gross Margin (dollars in thousands) Fiscal Year Ended August 31, $ % 2015 2014 Change Change Revenues $140,213 $134,747 $5,466 4.1%Cost of revenues 99,105 97,710 1,395 1.4%Gross profit $41,108 $37,037 $4,071 11.00%Gross margin 29.3% 27.5% 1.8% Revenues consist primarily of sales of component parts and fasteners, but also include, to a lesser extent, kitting charges and special order fees, as well asfreight charged to customers. The increase in revenues in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 was largely due to increased unit sales, resulting primarily fromincreased efficiencies from the Company’s employees. Revenues have also increased due to the Company focusing on relationship building programs withcurrent and potential customers. The increase in gross margins in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 is primarily due to a change in management estimates, which reduced the amount ofselling, general and administrative overhead expense allocated to cost of revenues in relation to inventory costs. Selling, General and Administrative Expense (dollars in thousands) Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2015 2014 $ Change % Change Selling, general and administrative expenses $35,394 $32,178 $3,216 10.0%Percent of revenues 25.2% 23.9% 1.3% Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) consists primarily of payroll and related expenses for the sales and administrative staff, professionalfees (including accounting, legal and technology costs and expenses), and sales and marketing costs. SG&A in fiscal 2015 increased from fiscal 2014 largelydue to a change in management estimates, which reduced the amount of selling, general and administrative overhead expense allocated to cost of revenues inrelation to inventory costs. This change also increased SG&A as a percent of revenue. SG&A also increased due to annual raises in employee salaries andadditional overhead from a new distribution center and sales locations added during fiscal 2015. 9 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The Company’s investment strategy consists of both long and short positions, as well as utilizingoptions to improve return. The Company experienced net realized and unrealized gain from trading securities of $225,000 during fiscal 2015 and net realizedand unrealized loss from trading securities of $19,000 during fiscal 2014. The gain in trading securities in fiscal 2015 is due mainly to holding shortpositions during the year at a time of a general market decrease. For fiscal 2014, the Company sold its remaining real estate properties, comprised of the the Orange Park, Florida property and its Sylmar , Californiaproperties in October 2013 and June 2014, respectively, realizing a total gain on sale of asset of $1,495,000. There was no sale of real property in fiscal 2015. Interest expense decreased in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 due to the payoff of the mortgages on the Orange Park and Sylmar Properties in fiscal 2014and the repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Company’s line of credit prior to the end of fiscal 2015. As of August 31, 2015, there were noamounts outstanding on the Company’s line of credit. Income Tax Provision (dollars in thousands) Fiscal YearEnded August 31, $ % 2015 2014 Change Change Income tax provision $2,254 $1,009 $1,245 123.4%Percent of pre-tax net income 38.0% 16.7% 22.1% The provision for income taxes increased by $1,245,000 in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. This was primarily a result of higher estimated taxableincome in fiscal 2015 as compared to the prior year period. The percent of pre-tax net income was lower in the prior year period due to a decrease in thevaluation allowance recognized in the prior year period. Further, the Company utilized its capital loss carry forwards to offset the gain from the sale of theOrange Park and Sylmar Properties in fiscal 2014. Liquidity and Capital Resources Bisco has a $10,000,000 line of credit agreement with Community Bank, N.A (“Community Bank”). Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at eitherthe 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR (0.31% and 0.23% for the 90 day LIBOR at August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively) plus 1.75% and/or the bank’s reference rate(3.25% at August 31, 2015 and 2014). Borrowings are secured by substantially all assets of Bisco and are guaranteed by the Company’s Chief ExecutiveOfficer, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder. The line of credit agreement expires in March 2017. The amounts outstanding under this line ofcredit as of August 31, 2015 and 2014 were zero and $1,684,000, respectively. The line of credit agreement contains certain nonfinancial and financialcovenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios.

This was due primarily to net income of $3,741,000 in fiscal2015 and a decrease in trade accounts receivable of $2,219,000. This was partially offset by an increase in inventory of $1,951,000. During fiscal 2014, the Company generated $1,179,000 in net cash from its operating activities. This was due primarily to net income of $5,611,000 in fiscal2014 and an increase in trade accounts payable of $1,332,000. This was offset in part by increases in accounts receivables of $3,369,000 and the non-cashgains related to the sale of real property and settlement of liabilities on discontinued operations of $1,495,000 and $986,000, respectively. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $18,000 for fiscal 2015. This was primarily due to the net change insecurities sold short of $1,139,000.This increase was offset in part by the Company’s purchase of property and equipment of $519,000 and an increase in restricted cash of $900,000. Therestricted cash increased due to cash reserves against securities sold short. Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $10,266,000 for fiscal 2014. This was primarily due to the Company’s disposition of its Orange Parkproperty and its Sylmar properties in fiscal 2014, resulting in total proceeds of $9,483,000. This increase was offset in part by the Company’s purchase ofproperty and equipment of $746,000, which consisted primarily of equipment and leasehold improvements during fiscal 2014. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash used in financing activities fiscal 2015 was $3,598,000 and was primarily due to the Company’s net payments during the year on its revolving creditfacility and a decrease in its bank overdraft liability of $1,684,000 and $1,827,000, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2015, the Company paid down its line ofcredit balance to zero. Cash used in financing activities fiscal 2014 was $9,717,000 mainly due to the Company’s net payments during the year on its revolving credit facility of$4,797,000 and the repayment of the mortgages related to the Sylmar and Orange Park properties in connection with the sale of these properties in fiscal 2014totaling $5,397,000. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the financial position, revenues, results ofoperations, liquidity or capital expenditures. Contractual Financial Obligations In addition to using cash flow from operations, the Company finances its operations through borrowings from banks and the leasing of certain equipment andfacilities. These financial obligations are recorded in accordance with accounting rules applicable to the underlying transactions, with the result that debtagreements and obligations under capital leases are recorded as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets while obligations underoperating leases are disclosed in the Notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 11 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting as of August 31, 2015.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence Certain Relationships and Related Transactions Since September 1, 2012, except as described below or under Item 11 (Executive Compensation), there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction,where we (or any of our subsidiaries) were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent ofthe average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two fiscal years and in which any director, director nominee, executive officer, holder ofmore than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirectmaterial interest. The Company leases three buildings under operating lease agreements from its CEO and majority shareholder, Glen Ceiley. During the years ended August31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid approximately $635,000 and $625,000, respectively, in rent with respect to these leases. Director Independence The Company’s Board consists of the following directors: Stephen Catanzaro, Glen Ceiley, Jay Conzen and William L. Means. The Board has determinedthat three of its four directors, Stephen Catanzaro, Jay Conzen and William L. Means, are independent as defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market’sMarketplace Rules. In addition to such rules, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director (and his immediate family) and theCompany to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. As a result, theBoard determined that Mr. Ceiley is not independent, as he is an employee of Bisco and member of Bisco’s steering committee. Bisco’s steering committeehandles the day to day operations of the Company, and Mr. Ceiley has been intimately involved with decision-making that directly affects the financialstatements of the Company. Currently, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Catanzaro, Conzen (Chairman) and Means. Item 14.

These financialstatements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on ouraudits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require thatwe plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is notrequired to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internalcontrol over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used andsignificant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide areasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EACO Corporation andSubsidiaries as of August 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Squar Milner LLP (formerly Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson, LLP) Newport Beach, CaliforniaNovember 25, 2015 F-1 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Organization and Basis of Presentation EACO Corporation (“EACO”) is a holding company, comprised of is its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco Industries, Inc. (“Bisco”). Bisco was incorporated inIllinois in 1974 and is a distributor of electronic components and fasteners with 48 sales offices and seven distribution centers located throughout the UnitedStates and Canada. Bisco supplies parts used in the manufacture of products in a broad range of industries, including the aerospace, circuit board,communication, computer, fabrication, instrumentation, industrial equipment and marine industries. EACO was incorporated in the State of Florida in September 1985. From the inception of EACO through June 2005, EACO’s business consisted of operatingrestaurants in the State of Florida. On June 29, 2005, EACO sold all of its operating restaurants. As of August 31, 2015, the only remaining activity of theformer restaurant operations relates to its self-insured workers’ compensation claim liability. The estimated workers’ compensation claim liability is presentedas liabilities of discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and any changes to the estimated claim liability or settlement ofthese claims is presented under discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include allowance fordoubtful trade accounts receivable, slow moving and obsolete inventory reserves, recoverability of the carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, workers’ compensation liability and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements for all periods presented include the accounts of EACO, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bisco Industries, Inc., andBisco’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Bisco Industries Limited (which are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”). Allsignificant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash The State of Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation (the “Division”) requires self-insured companies to pledge collateral in favor of the Division in anamount sufficient to cover the projected outstanding liability. In compliance with this requirement, the Company pledged a certificate of deposit of $83,000and $322,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. See Note 7 for further discussion.

The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount, less an estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management determines theallowance for doubtful accounts by identifying probable credit losses in the Company’s accounts receivable and reviewing historical data to estimate thecollectability on items not yet specifically identified as problem accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveriesof trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. A trade account receivable is considered past due if any portion of thereceivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. The Company does not charge interest on past due balances. The allowance for doubtful accountswas $111,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of electronic fasteners and components, and are stated at the lower of cost or estimated market value. Cost is determined usingthe average cost method. Inventories are presented net of a reserve for slow moving or obsolete items of $1,105,000 and $1,024,000 at August 31, 2015 and2014, respectively. The reserve is based upon management’s review of inventories on-hand over their expected future utilization and length of time held bythe Company. Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization. Depreciation on equipment is calculated on the straight-linemethod over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life ofthe asset or the remaining lease term, whichever is less. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a majornature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removedfrom the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in earnings. Impairment of Long Lived Assets The Company’s policy is to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of anasset may not be recoverable. For the purpose of the impairment review, assets are tested on an individual basis. The recoverability of the assets is measuredby a comparison of the carrying value of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets areconsidered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. Trading Securities The Company invests in marketable trading securities which include long and short positions in equity securities. Short positions represent securities sold,but not yet purchased. Short sales result in obligations to purchase securities at a later date and are separately presented as a liability in the Company’sconsolidated balance sheet. These securities are stated at fair value, which is determined using the quoted closing prices at each reporting date. Realized gains and losses on investmenttransactions are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statements ofoperations and represent the change in the market value of investment holdings during the period. See Note 11. Revenue Recognition Management generally recognizes revenue at the time of product shipment, as the Company’s shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Revenue is consideredto be realized or realizable and earned when there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement in the form of an executed contract or purchase order, theproduct has been shipped, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Income Taxes Deferred taxes on income result from temporary differences between the reporting of income for financial statement and tax reporting purposes. A valuationallowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In makingsuch determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projectedfuture taxable income (if any), tax planning strategies and recent financial performance.

The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. We provide tax contingencies, if any, for federal, state, local and international exposures relating to audit results, tax planning initiatives and complianceresponsibilities. The development of these reserves requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing. Although the outcome of these taxaudits is uncertain, in management’s opinion adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for potential liabilities emanating from these reviews. Ifactual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations. Freight and Shipping/Handling Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of goods sold, and were approximately $2,557,000 and $2,407,000 for the years ended August 31, 2015and 2014, respectively. Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Prior to June 2005, EACO self-insured workers’ compensation claims losses up to certain limits. The liability for workers’ compensation represents anestimate of the present value of the ultimate cost of uninsured losses which are unpaid as of the balance sheet dates. At each fiscal year end, the Companyobtains an actuarial report which estimates its overall exposure based on historical claims and an evaluation of future claims, and adjustments to theCompany’s estimated claim liability, if any, are reflected in discontinued operations. The Company pursues recovery of certain claims from an insurancecarrier. Recoveries, if any, are recognized when realization is reasonably assured. Operating Leases Certain Company leases for its sales offices and distribution centers provide for minimum annual payments that adjust over the life of the lease. Theaggregate minimum annual payments are expensed on the straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. The Company recognizes a deferred rent liabilityfor rent escalations when the amount of straight-line rent exceeds the lease payments, and reduces the deferred rent liability when the lease payments exceedthe straight-line rent expense. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 were computed based on the weighted average number of common sharesoutstanding. Diluted earnings per share for those periods have been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, givingeffect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive common shares represent 40,000common shares issuable upon conversion of 36,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, which were outstanding at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Suchsecurities are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share for the years ended August 31,2015 and 2014 as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive since the conversion price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s commonstock during these periods. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (Canadian dollars for the Bisco’s Canadian subsidiary) are translated intoU.S. dollars at the period-end rate of exchange. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the years ended August 31, 2015 and2014. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited directly to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

A significant portion of the Company’s cash was held by its Canadian subsidiary. The Company hasnot experienced any losses in such accounts. Net sales to customers outside the United States and related trade accounts receivable were approximately 9% and 11% of total sales and trade accountsreceivable, respectively, at August 31, 2015, and 7% and 10%, respectively, at August 31, 2014. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of totalrevenues for either of the years ended August 31, 2015 or 2014. Total assets held outside the United States comprised 7% as of August 31, 2015 and 2014. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Certain Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities The Company’s financial instruments other than its marketable securities include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,security deposits, trade accounts payable, line of credit, accrued expenses and long-term debt. Management believes that the fair value of these financialinstruments approximate their carrying amounts based on current market indicators, such as prevailing interest rates. The Company’s marketable securitiesare measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 11). During the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that were measured at estimated fair valueon a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts withCustomers (Topic 606)” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition.The purpose of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards. The amendments (i) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, (ii) provide a more robust framework foraddressing revenue issues, (iii) improve comparability of revenue recognition across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, (iv) provide moreuseful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, and (v) simplify the preparation of financial statements byreducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The new revenue recognition standard requires entities to recognize revenue in a way thatreflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to inexchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” whichdelayed the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance by one year. Therefore, ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periodsbeginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period orretrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently assessingthe impact that this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Under ASU 2015-11 entities should measure inventory that isnot measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method, including inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost,at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictablecosts of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is to be appliedprospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cashflows.

The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. ASU 2015-15 provides additional guidance regarding debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements, stating that the SEC staff would not object to anentity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

Income Taxes The following summarizes the Company’s provision for income taxes on income from continuing and discontinued operations: For the Year Ended August 31, 2015 2014 Current: Federal $1,568,000 $751,000 State 325,000 214,000 Foreign (5,000) 9,000 1,888,000 974,000 Deferred: Federal 560,000 (343,000)State (194,000) 378,000 Foreign - - 366,000 35,000 Total $2,254,000 $1,009,000 Income taxes for the years ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 differ from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory corporate rates of34% to the pre-tax income from continuing operations.The differences are reconciled as follows: For the Year Ended August 31, 2015 2014 Current: Expected income tax benefit at statutory rate $2,008,000 $2,085,000 Increase (decrease) in taxes due to: State tax, net of federal benefit 284,000 287,000 Permanent differences 32,000 29,000 Change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance 62,000 (919,000)Other, net (132,000) (473,000)Income tax expense (benefit) $2,254,000 $1,009,000 F-13 Source: EACO CORP, 10-K, November 25, 2015Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. The components of deferred taxes at August 31, 2015 and 2014 are summarized below: August 31, Deferred tax assets: 2015 2014 Net operating loss $522,000 $527,000 Capital losses 116,000 99,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 14,000 4,000 Accrued expenses 146,000 333,000 Accrued workers’ compensation 32,000 125,000 Inventory reserve 775,000 644,000 Unrealized losses on investment (254,000) (51,000)Excess of tax over book depreciation (78,000) (131,000)Other 305,000 331,000 Total deferred tax assets 1,578,000 1,881,000 Valuation allowance (639,000) (576,000)Total deferred tax assets $939,000 $1,305,000 The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent management believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making suchdetermination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected futuretaxable income (if any), tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. Based on the Company’s profitability and future forecast, management believes it is more-likely-than not that a portion of its net deferred tax assets will notbe utilized in the future. Therefore, as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, a partial valuation allowance has been recorded based on management’s estimate of theamount of its net deferred tax assets that will be able to be utilized in future periods. The guidance in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control Subsections” of ASC 805-50, does not specifically address the accounting forthe deferred tax consequences that may result from a transfer of net assets or the exchange of equity interest between enterprises under common control.Although such a transaction is not a pooling of interests, it appears as if the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No.109 (ASC 740), paragraphs 270-272, which addresses the income tax accounting effects of a pooling-of-interests transaction should be applied by analogy. On January 1, 2007, we adopted ASC 740 “Income Taxes” formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (ASC 740).ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition thresholdand measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in the tax return. TheCompany did not recognize any additional liability for unrecognized tax benefit as a result of the implementation. The Company has no liability forunrecognized tax benefit related to tax positions for either the August 31, 2015 year end or the August 31, 2014 year end. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalty related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of August 31, 2015, the Companyhas not recognized liabilities for penalty and interest as the Company does not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is subject to taxation in the US, Canada and various states. The Company’s tax years for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject toexamination by the taxing authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by taxingauthorities for years before 2011.

Operating Lease Obligations The Company leases its facilities and automobiles under operating lease agreements (three leased facilities are with its majority shareholder – see Note 10),which expire on various dates through September 2021 and require minimum rental payments ranging from $1,000 to $32,000 per month. Certain of theleases contain options for renewal under varying terms. Minimum future rental payments under operating leases are as follows: Years ending August 31: 2016 $1,777,000 2017 903,000 2018 543,000 2019 162,000 Thereafter 292,000 $3,677,000 Rental expense for all operating leases for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1,832,000 and $1,975,000, respectively.
