COST OF GOODS SOLD |
NOTE 3 – COST OF GOODS SOLD
Our cost of goods sold includes the cost of materials and related direct costs. With respect to sales made through the operating segments’ sales agents distribution network, we include in our costs of goods sold commissions paid to agents for the specific sales they make. Without using agents, we would not be eligible to participate in the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for these sales on which we incur commission costs. All other sales-related expenses, including those related to unsuccessful bids, are included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs. As a component of cost of goods sold, sales commission costs in the three month period ended July 31, 2024, and 2023 were $100,290 and $120,724, respectively. Commission costs in the nine month period ended July 31, 2024, and 2023 were $525,696 and $728,552 respectively.

- Definition The entire disclosure for compensation costs, including compensated absences accruals, compensated absences liability, deferred compensation arrangements and income statement compensation items. Deferred compensation arrangements may include a description of an arrangement with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain amounts at designated future dates, usually including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares (units) issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability.
