NOTE 12 – TREASURY STOCK

In May 2022, the Board authorized a share repurchase program to acquire its outstanding Common Stock for up to $10,000,000.

These shares are treated as Treasury Stock using the cost method. The 2,075,134 shares repurchased are included in Treasury Stock in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At October 31, 2022, $4,524,109 remains available to repurchase the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the share repurchase program.
