New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$38.9m market cap). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 28

Nortech Systems Incorporated Launches Power over Fiber Technology Platform for EMI-Sensitive Applications Nortech Systems Incorporated announced the launch of its Power over Fiber technology platform. Power over Fiber addresses a critical engineering challenge by delivering reliable power and data through optical fiber cable, eliminating the need for a separate local power source. Using optical fiber instead of copper, the platform removes electrical noise and ground loops while providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, electrical isolation, and a lighter, more sustainable solution for long-distance power delivery across mission-critical applications, such as power transmission in medical, aerospace, low-orbit, subsea, defense and industrial applications. The technology offers four core advantages over conventional copper power solutions: EMI immunity and shielding, full electrical isolation, a reduced overall cable footprint, and the ability to deliver power over longer distances to remote optical components. The Power over Fiber platform is suited to a broad range of demanding use cases. In medical settings, Power over Fiber supports diagnostic imaging systems, including MRI, as well as surgical environments where minimizing EMI is critical to patient safety and device performance. In aerospace and defense, Power over Fiber is well-suited for satellites, aircraft, and military hardware. Underwater and subsea deployments also benefit from the platform, as optical fiber is lighter and more corrosion-resistant than copper in those environments. Industrial automation applications — including robotics and high-voltage factory environments — can use Power over Fiber to power remote actuators, cameras, and controllers without introducing electrical noise. By removing the dependency on copper for power delivery, Nortech's Power over Fiber platform also offers a more sustainable and space-efficient solution for engineers working within tight design constraints, including embedded systems, lighting, machine vision and motor control applications. This launch reflects Nortech's continued investment to help customers solve their most complex challenges with fiber optic innovation, building on the Company’s established capabilities in complex cable and harness assemblies, printed circuit board assemblies, and system-level integration.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.8% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 5.8% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (US$20.4m market cap). Announcement • Nov 05

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.1% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.8% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.1% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$27.2m market cap). Reported Earnings • Aug 10
