Since June 2025, the conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets. These direct military engagements, proxy activities, and broader regional tensions could have significant adverse effects on Jordan’s political and economic environment, and consequently, on our business operations. Further intensification of the conflict could result in regional economic instability, potentially disrupting trade routes, supply chains, and cross-border commerce. Heightened military activity could also create security risks for our facilities, employees, and customers, potentially leading to business interruptions, increased operating costs, or damage to physical assets. In response to regional threats, the government of Jordan may implement new regulations, restrictions, or emergency measures, which could affect our ability to conduct business as usual. Currently, both of the ports of Aqaba in Jordan and Haifa in Israel, which are the main ports for Jerash’s imports of raw materials and export of garment products, are operating as normal.see in full comparison
Effective from April 5, 2025, the U.S. imposed a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from almost all countries, including Jordan. Then, effective from April 9, 2025, it had announced “reciprocal” tariffs of imports from specified countries, amongst them Jordan with a prevailing rate of then 20%.

Following the ruling, the U.S. Government invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose an across the board 10% tariff for a period of 150 days expiring in July 2026. Imports from Jordan are also subject to this tariff. While the payment of the tariff is typically the responsibility of the importer (Jerash’s customers), the impact of the tariff on customers’ demand would be affected by the comparative levels of the tariffs on imports from Jordan compared to other.
U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, and supply chain interruptions. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets.see in full comparison

We have engaged, and may in the future engage,
in transactions with affiliates and other related parties. These transactions may not have been, and may not be, on terms as favorable
to us as they could have been if obtained from non-affiliated persons. While an effort has been made and will continue to be made to obtain
services from affiliated persons and other related parties at rates and on terms as favorable as would be charged by others, there will
always be an inherent conflict of interest between our interests and those of our affiliates and related parties. Through his wholly owned

Presently, we generate revenue primarily from
manufacturing and exporting sportswear and outerwear. A shift in demand from such products may reduce the growth of new business for our
products, and reduce existing business in those products. If demand infor sportswear and outerwear were to decline, we may endeavor to expand
or transition our product offerings to other segments of the clothing retail industry. There can be no assurance that we would be able
to successfully make such an expansion or transition, or that our sales and margins would not decline in the event we made such an expansion

1. Business—Organizational structure” for
more information. Once we enter into any joint ventures, we will have limited decision-making
authority and we may face the risk of disputes
with our joint venture partners. This includes potential deadlocks in making major decisions
and restrictions on our ability to exit the

result in litigation or arbitration. We may
also face risks associated with the financial condition of our joint venture partners, including
the risk of bankruptcy and/or failure

Since June 2025, the conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets. These direct military engagements, proxy activities, and broader regional tensions could have significant adverse effects on Jordan’s political and economic environment, and consequently, on our business operations. Further intensification of the conflict could result in regional economic instability, potentially disrupting trade routes, supply chains, and cross-border commerce. Heightened military activity could also create security risks for our facilities, employees, and customers, potentially leading to business interruptions, increased operating costs, or damage to physical assets. In response to regional threats, the government of Jordan may implement new regulations, restrictions, or emergency measures, which could affect our ability to conduct business as usual. Currently, both of the ports of Aqaba in Jordan and Haifa in Israel, which are the main ports for Jerash’s imports of raw materials and export of garment products, are operating as normal.
While we do not have any employees, staff, consultants,
operations, materials, or equipment located in Israel, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus, all of our manufacturing processes are performed
in in
a complex of production facilities located in Jordan. This situation could adversely affect our business or the services being provided
to us due to concerns about conflict in the Palestinian territories.territories and broader regional instability. For example, when Hamas launched
its attack on October 7, 2023, it
had an unfavorable impact on the Jordanian street and the country’s national security. Similarly,
escalating tensions involving Iran, including disruptions to strategic airspaces and critical maritime routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz
and the Red Sea, have contributed to increases in the price of oil and gas, disruptions to global supply chains, and heightened market
uncertainty. Despite bilateral cooperation between Jordan
and the United States that may contribute to assisting the conflicting parties
in ultimately achieving peace and security, we cannot assure
that our business operations will not be adversely impacted by such disputes.
Our ongoing compliance efforts will increase general
and administrative expenses and may divert management’s time and attention from the development of our business, which may adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In connection with the preparation and external
audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024,2025, we identified certain material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting and have formulated plans for remedial measures. AlthoughIn somethe remedialassessment measuresin havefiscal been

Controls and Procedures.”
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital market disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing confrontations in the Middle East, such as the conflicts between the United States, Iran and Israel and between Israel and Hamas.
U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, and supply chain interruptions. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets.
Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russian and Ukraine and military actions in the Middle East to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers and manufacturers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this annual report.

which resulted in a current ratio of approximately 3.4:1. For fiscal 2025,2026, the increase in current assets were primarily due to increases in accounts

Since May and October 2021, we have participated
in supply chain financing
programs of two of our major customers, respectively. The programs allow us to receive early payments for approved
sales invoices submitted
by us through the bank the customer cooperates with. For any early payments received, we are subject to an early
payment charge imposed
by the customer’s bank, for which the rate is Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus
a spread. The arrangement allows us to have better liquidity without the
need to incur administrative charges and handling fees as in
bank financing. In March 2024, we participated in an additional supply chain
financing program with one customer.

The increase of approximately 14% in sales to
the U.S. during the three months ended December 31, 2025, was mainly attributable to a general increase in shipments to our major U.S.
customers.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025,
aggregate sales to China, Korea, Jordan, and other locations increased by 47% from $4.3 million to $6.3 million from the same period last
year. This increase was mainly due to the introduction of a customer in Korea, which started to have bulk shipments during the quarter.
Cost of goods sold. Following the
increase in sales revenue, our cost of goods sold increased by approximately $4.7 million, or 16%, to approximately $34.7 million, for
the three months ended December 31, 2025, from approximately $30.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2025. As a percentage of revenue,
the cost of goods sold decrease by approximately 2 percentage points, from 85% for the same period in fiscal 2025 to 83% for the three
months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to improvements
in efficiency through economies of scale and adjustments in product mix following the introduction of new customers.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025,
we purchased 16% and 10% of our total purchase in garments and raw materials from two major suppliers, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2024,
we purchased 14% of our total purchase in garments and raw materials from one major supplier.
Gross profit margin. Gross
profit margin was approximately 17% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, which increased by 2 percentage points from approximately
15% for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by changes in product mix resulting from
new customers introduced in the past few years and the growth in scale of production.
Operating expenses. Operating
expenses increased by 9%, or approximately $0.4 million, from approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024,
to approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the
increase in export-related expenses following the growth in sales and an increase in recruitment expenses in relation to headcount increase,
offsetting a decrease in stock-based compensation expenses.
Other expenses,
net. Other expenses, net were approximately $418,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to other
expenses, net of approximately $252,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to exchange loss and the
increase in utilization of bank facility and customers’ supply chain financing programs to support the growth in business.
Income tax expenses. Income
tax expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, were approximately $368,000 compared to income tax expenses of approximately
$450,000 for the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease in the income tax expenses was mainly due to tax provision adjustment in fiscal 2025 in GILTI, primarily resulting from the retroactive
reinstatement of the subpart F income that was enacted for previous fiscal years and an
increase in operating profit of Jordan subsidiaries related to GILTI provision. The effective tax rate declined to 24.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2025,
compared to 98.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Net income. Net income for the three
months ended December 31, 2025, was approximately $1.2 million compared to net income of approximately $6,000 for the same period in fiscal
2025. The increase in net income was mainly attributable to improvement of gross profit in efficiency through economies of scale with
higher revenue, decrease of corporate tax in a Jordan subsidiary offset exchange loss and the increase in operating expenses.

by approximately $6.8 million, or 6%, to $123.4 million, for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, from approximately $116.6 million
for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly due to the increase in shipments to some of our major customers in the U.S.
and sales increases to some of our new customers introduced during the past few years.
The following table outlines the dollar amount
and percentage of total sales to our customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Revenue by Geographic Area
Between January 2010 and March 2025, all apparel
manufactured in Jordan could be exported to the U.S. without customs duty being imposed, pursuant to the United States-Jordan Free Trade
Agreement entered into in December 2001. This free trade agreement provided us with substantial competitiveness and benefit that allowed

for 90 days, whilst the 10% baseline tariff persists. Up to the date of this report, the tariff has been modified to 15% according to
an executive order of presidential actions on July 31, 2025. While the payment of the tariff is typically the responsibility of the importer
(Jerash’s customers), the impact of the tariff on customers demand would be affected by the comparative levels of the tariffs on
imports from Jordan compared to other countries.

Jerash Holdings is a holding company incorporated

satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current Jordanian regulations permit our Jordanian subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of
their accumulated
profits, if any, determined in accordance with Jordanian accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our Jordanian subsidiaries
subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year,year until the reserve is equal to 100% of the entity’s
share capital, if any, to fund certain reserve
funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. We have relied on direct
payments of expenses by our subsidiaries to meet
our obligations to date. To the extent payments are due in U.S. dollars, we have occasionally
paid such amounts in JOD to an entity controlled
by our management capable of paying such amounts in U.S. dollars. Such transactions have
been made at prevailing exchange rates and have
resulted in immaterial losses or gains on currency exchange.

In accordance with the corporate law in Jordan,
subsidiaries of Jerash Holdings in Jordan are required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, based on net income determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of Jordan. Appropriations to the statutory reserve are required to be 10%
of net income until the reserve is equal to 100% of the entity’s share capital. Jiangmen Treasure Success is required to set aside
10% of its net income as statutory surplus reserve until such reserve is equal to 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not
available for dividend distribution. The statutory reserve was $0.4 million as of DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024.2025.
The following table provides the amount of our
statutory reserves, the amount of restricted net assets, consolidated net assets, and the amount of restricted net assets as a percentage
of consolidated net assets, as of DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024.2025.
Total restricted net assets accounted for approximately

Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as
as a result of changes in our estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
