Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) April 30, 2026 Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations Mama's Creations, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), (formerly known as MamaMancini's Holdings, Inc. and Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has a fiscal year-end of January 31. Our subsidiary, MamaMancini’s Inc. (“MamaMancinis”), is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of meatballs with sauce, grilled, roasted and breaded chicken, sausage and peppers, and other similar meats and sauces. In addition, the Company continues to diversify its product line by introducing new products such as ready-to-heat meals, single-portion pasta and rice bowls, bulk deli, and packaged refrigerated protein products. MamaMancini's products feature many all-natural meals that were submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) and approved as all-natural. The USDA defines "all-natural" as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. Our subsidiary, T&L Acquisition Corp., is a premier gourmet food manufacturer based in New York. T&L Acquisition Corp. does business as T&L Creative Salads (“T&L”) and Olive Branch (“OB”), and offers a full line of foods for retail food chains and club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and provision distributors. Our Creative Salads brand uses high-quality meats, seafood and vegetables, prepared to meet the standards set forth by the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Our Olive Branch brand concentrates on selling olives, olive mixes, and savory products to large retail customers, primarily in pre-packaged containers. Our subsidiary, Crown 1 Foods, Inc., ("Crown") based in New York, is a full-service food manufacturer of value-added proteins and premium ready-to-heat meals. Crown focuses on claims-driven protein solutions including distinctive cuts. Crown also is USDA and Safe Quality Food ("SQF") certified and specializes in artisanal vegetable and grain sides and center plate offerings in bulk as well as single-serve solutions. Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in an annual report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2026 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among other items, the following: allowance for credit 6 Table of Contents losses, the fair value of stock-based compensation, inventory reserves, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and estimates for unrealized returns, discounts, and other variable considerations that are netted against revenue. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential risk of business failure. The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at one financial institution, which at April 30, 2026, exceeded insured amounts by approximately $ 23.1 million. The Company believes it mitigates such risk by having the cash and cash equivalents held by a major financial institution. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. Estimated product returns are immaterial. Management assesses the collectability of outstanding customer invoices and maintains an allowance resulting from the expected non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this allowance for credit losses, management considers factors such as historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, specific customer risk, and current and expected general economic conditions. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. The accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses were approximately $ 13.4 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively as of April 30, 2026 as compared to $ 13.3 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively as of January 31, 2026, and $ 8.2 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively as of February 1, 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025, the Company did not write off any accounts deemed uncollectible. Inventories The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is defined as estimated selling price less costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The cost of inventory is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The cost of finished goods inventories includes ingredients, direct labor, freight-in for ingredients, and indirect production and overhead costs. The Company monitors its inventory to identify excess or obsolete items on hand. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations, and purchase orders. In addition, and as necessary, specific reserves for future known or anticipated events may be established. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the reserve for obsolete inventory was approximately $ 133 thousand and $ 135 thousand, respectively. Inventories by major category are as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2026 January 31, 2026 Raw materials and packaging $ 4,776 $ 3,323 Work in process 929 1,217 Finished goods 3,297 5,107 Total $ 9,002 $ 9,647 7 Table of Contents Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation expense are: Machinery and equipment 2 - 15 years Furniture and fixtures 3 - 10 years Leasehold improvements * (*) Amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever period is shorter. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company reviews the recoverability of property, plant and equipment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset class may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment could include, among other factors, significant changes in the business environment, the planned closure of a facility, or deterioration in operating cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not substantially improve or extend the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately, if conditions indicate that an impairment could exist. The Company evaluates qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value and whether it is necessary to perform goodwill impairment testing. As of April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025, there were no impairment losses recognized for goodwill. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets consist of trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible asset lives for financial statement reporting of amortization are: Tradenames and trademarks 3 years Customer relationships 4 – 5 years Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. The interest rate on the Company’s line of credit and notes payable has a variable component, which is reflective of the market for such instruments at any given date, and as such the carrying value of the debt approximates its fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; 8 Table of Contents Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026 were as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2026 January 31, 2026 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents $ 23,977 $ — $ — $ 23,977 $ 19,528 $ — $ — $ 19,528 Total $ 23,977 $ — $ — $ 23,977 $ 19,528 $ — $ — $ 19,528 Research and Development Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $ 87 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to $ 73 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2025. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company’s sales are primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, and the promised goods have been transferred. Control transfers when the product is shipped or delivered based upon applicable shipping terms. For each contract, the Company considers the transfer of product to be the performance obligation. Although some payment terms may be extended, generally the Company’s payment terms are approximately 10 - 30 days. Accordingly, there are no significant financing components to consider when determining the transaction price. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company promotes its products with trade incentives and promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. The trade incentives and promotions are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers at the end of the period. The Company derives these estimates based on historical experience. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the trade incentives and promotions. The Company’s contracts are all short-term in nature; therefore, there are no unsatisfied performance obligations requiring disclosure as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026. 9 Table of Contents Reductions in the transaction price attributable to items such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2026 April 30, 2025 Gross Sales $ 54,616 $ 37,504 Less: Trade Incentives and Promotions 1,850 2,249 Net Sales $ 52,766 $ 35,255 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The following table disaggregates gross revenue by significant geographic area for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2026 April 30, 2025 Northeast $ 22,505 $ 9,917 Southeast 12,259 8,508 Midwest 9,096 9,319 West 10,756 9,760 Total gross sales $ 54,616 $ 37,504 Costs of Sales Costs of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Advertising Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses were $ 761 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to $ 814 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2025 . St ock-Based Compensation The Company provides compensation benefits in the form of performance stock units, restricted stock units, stock options, and warrants. The cost of the stock-based compensation is recorded at fair value on the date of grant and expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite service period. The Company has granted performance awards in the form of Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") to certain employees. Each PSU award entitles the participant to earn shares of common stock upon the attainment of certain market conditions and/or certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. The recognition of the compensation expense for the performance stock awards is based upon the probable outcome of the market condition and/or performance conditions and is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. To determine the value of PSUs with market conditions for stock-based compensation purposes, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The Company's performance against the defined goals is reevaluated on a quarterly basis throughout the performance period and the recognition of the compensation expense is adjusted for subsequent changes in the estimated or actual outcome. The Company values stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of stock-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. The Company has granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") that entitle the participant to earn shares of common stock as long as they continuously provide service to the Company through a given date. The Company values RSUs by multiplying 10 Table of Contents the number of underlying shares of common stock by the closing stock price on the date of the grant, and the related expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the awards. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which is increased by the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. However, if the effect of any additional securities is anti-dilutive (i.e., resulting in a higher net income per share or lower net loss per share), they are excluded from the dilutive net income computation. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income per common share (in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2026 April 30, 2025 Numerator: Net income $ 2,057 $ 1,237 Effect of dilutive securities: — — Diluted net income 2,057 1,237 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 40,665 37,597 Dilutive securities (a): Restricted stock 370 281 Performance stock units 2,237 1,450 Options 49 50 Weighted average common shares outstanding and assumed conversion – diluted 43,321 39,378 Basic net income per common share $ 0.05 $ 0.03 Diluted net income per common share $ 0.05 $ 0.03 (a) – Anti-dilutive securities excluded — — As of April 30, 2026, the Company has approximately 1.6 million performance share units outstanding that are contingently issuable upon achievement of specific performance targets. Because the performance conditions were not met as of the reporting date, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share. Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income tax is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable for the current fiscal period and are based on the taxable income for the current fiscal period, including adjustments for unrealized tax benefits, changes in tax receivables (payables) that arose in a prior period and recovery of taxes paid in a prior period. Current taxes are measured using tax rates and laws enacted during the period within which the taxable income arose. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if the right of offset exists. 11 Table of Contents Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax basis. Deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, " Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures " (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. The new guidance aims to enhance disclosures about a public business entity's expenses by providing more specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period, enabling investors to better understand the entity’s overall performance, including its cost structure, and assess potential future cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05")." ASU 2025-05 provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Upon adoption, the Company elected the practical expedient permitted under the ASU. Because the Company is a public business entity, it did not elect the accounting policy option to incorporate post–balance sheet collection activity. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements," which clarifies interim disclosure requirements by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable.

Note 11 – Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842 “ Leases ” (“ASC 842”). We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We have operating leases for offices and other facilities used for our operations. We also have finance leases relating primarily to machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1.2 years to 5.6 years. Supplemental cash flow and other information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2026 April 30, 2025 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 407 $ 257 Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 78 $ 102 The following table shows the weighted-average lease term and weighted-average discount rate for the Company's ROU lease assets: April 30, 2026 January 31, 2026 Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) Operating leases 3.91 4.15 Finance leases 3.53 3.75 Weighted average discount rate: Operating leases 6.39 % 6.41 % Finance leases 8.03 % 8.00 % 17 Table of Contents Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): April 30, 2026 January 31, 2026 Operating Leases Operating lease ROU assets $ 7,438 $ 7,877 Current operating lease liabilities, included in current liabilities $ 1,743 $ 1,690 Non-current operating lease liabilities, included in long-term liabilities 5,743 6,204 Total operating lease liabilities $ 7,486 $ 7,894 Finance Leases Property and equipment at cost $ 1,853 $ 1,853 Accumulated depreciation ( 861 ) ( 780 ) Property and equipment, net $ 992 $ 1,073 Current obligations of finance lease liabilities, included in current liabilities $ 327 $ 321 Finance leases, net of current obligations, included in long-term liabilities 794 878 Total finance lease liabilities $ 1,121 $ 1,199 Maturities of lease liabilities for each of the succeeding fiscal years are as follows (in thousands): For the fiscal years ended Finance Leases Operating Leases Total Maturities of Lease Liabilities 2027 (remaining) $ 304 $ 1,612 $ 1,916 2028 398 2,224 2,622 2029 302 2,252 2,554 2030 179 1,852 2,031 2031 111 283 394 Thereafter 6 236 242 Total undiscounted future lease payments 1,300 8,459 9,759 Less: imputed interest ( 179 ) ( 973 ) ( 1,152 ) Total present value of future lease liabilities $ 1,121 $ 7,486 $ 8,607 Note 12 - Income Tax Provision The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was 21.9 %. Differences from the statutory rate primarily relate to state taxes. As of April 30, 2026, and January 31, 2026, the net deferred tax liability was approximately $ 530 thousand and $ 813 thousand, respectively. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation of taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. There was no valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2026 or January 31, 2026. 18 Table of Contents The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740, " Accounting for Income Taxes " related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, but not limited to, the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, the introduction of new Section 174A, permitting immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, and the expansion of Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA, and an estimate of the impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated financial statements is not yet available. Note 13 - Segment Information For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025 the Company was managed as a single operating segment. The Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance, as well as for making strategic operational decisions and managing the organization. As such, the Company has one reportable segment. Additionally, all of the Company’s assets are maintained in the United States.
