AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Year End The Company’s fiscal year-end is the Sunday closest to September 30. This fiscal calendar aligns the Company’s fiscal periods closely with the seasonality of its business. The period from October through early March is geared towards maintenance and preparation for the next busy season, which typically begins in the latter half of March through early September. The high season typically ends after the Labor Day holiday weekend. The fiscal periods in this report are presented as follows, unless the context otherwise requires: Fiscal Year Ended Weeks 2026 September 27, 2026 52 2025 September 28, 2025 52 Seasonality The Company’s operations are seasonal. Our parks are open year-round, and we experience increased seasonal attendance, typically beginning in the latter half of March through early September, and historically have realized a significant portion of our annual park revenue during our third and fourth fiscal quarters. We generated approximately 64.0 % and 61.4 % of our annual park revenue in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Wild Animal – Georgia, Wild Animal – Missouri and Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods set forth herein. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2025 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2025. Change in Capital Structure As described fully in Note 6, Stockholders Equity , effective April 30, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, followed immediately by a 5-for-1 forward stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, herein referred to as the “Reverse Forward Stock Split.” All prior period share and per share amounts presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying notes, including, but not limited to, shares issued and outstanding, dollar amounts of common stock, additional paid-in capital, and earnings/(loss) per share, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in order to reflect this change in capital structure. There were no changes to the total number of authorized shares of common stock or their respective par values per share as a result of this change. Accounting Method The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting. 8 PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit and money market accounts as of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, respectively. Short-term Investments The Company periodically invests in certificates of deposit and classifies its certificates of deposit as cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments and reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period. Certificates of deposit held for investment with an original maturity date greater than three months are carried at amortized cost and reported as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, the Company had no short-term investments. Financial and Concentrations Risk The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable The parks are primarily a payment upfront business, therefore, the Company typically carries limited accounts receivable balances. The Company had accounts receivable of $ 10,569 , $ 18,293 and $ 63,784 as of December 28, 2025, September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The accounts receivable balance as of September 29, 2024 includes a receivable in the amount of $ 50,000 for insurance proceeds from directors and officers insurance as more fully described in Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matters. Inventory Inventory consists of gift shop items, animal food, and concession and park supplies, and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company maintains an inventory obsolescence reserve to reduce the carrying value of inventory for items that are slow-moving, excess, or obsolete. The reserve is based on management’s assessment of current inventory levels and historical usage. Adjustments to the reserve are recorded in cost of goods sold in the period identified. The Company recorded an inventory reserve for obsolescence in the amount of $ 49,000 as of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, respectively. Prepaid Expenses The Company prepays certain expenses primarily due to contractual requirements. Prepaid expenses consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF PREPAID EXPENSES December 28, 2025 September 28, 2025 Prepaid insurance $ 186,331 $ 145,144 Prepaid income taxes 43,296 33,796 Prepaid advertising and marketing 29,933 24,108 Other 52,567 28,630 Total prepaid expenses $ 312,127 $ 231,678 9 PARKS!

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and substantial improvements are capitalized and include expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of the existing facilities and equipment. Maintenance and repairs that do not materially improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. As of the balance sheet dates, Property and equipment, net consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT December 28, 2025 September 28, 2025 Depreciable Lives Land 6,260,506 $ 6,260,506 not applicable Mineral rights 276,000 276,000 25 years Ground improvements 3,589,589 3,433,711 7 - 25 years Buildings and structures 5,053,938 4,938,115 10 - 39 years Animal shelters and habitats 3,782,751 3,766,540 10 - 39 years Park animals 1,100,910 1,100,472 5 - 25 years Equipment - concession and related 508,320 513,616 3 - 15 years Equipment and vehicles - yard and field 725,033 713,974 3 - 15 years Vehicles - buses and rental 355,177 355,177 3 - 5 years Rides and entertainment 152,156 152,156 5 - 7 years Furniture and fixtures 41,634 27,160 5 - 10 years Construction in progress 69,610 87,319 Property and equipment, cost 21,915,624 21,624,746 Less: Accumulated depreciation ( 6,797,226 ) ( 6,601,516 ) Property and equipment, net $ 15,118,398 $ 15,023,230 Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to thirty-nine years. Depreciation expense was $ 208,478 and $ 205,545 for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 , respectively. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of a site master plan, website domains and tradename registrations, which are recorded at cost of $ 68,803 and amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from three 3 years to ten years . Amortization expense was $ 2,603 and $ 3,003 for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $ 48,791 and $ 46,188 as of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, respectively. Scheduled future amortization of intangible assets is as follows as of December 28, 2025: SCHEDULE OF FUTURE AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS Fiscal years ending 2026 remaining $ 7,793 2027 2,405 2028 2,405 2029 2,405 2030 2,405 Thereafter 2,599 Total $ 20,012 Impairment of Property and Equipment Property and equipment are subject to a review for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed at the individual park level which is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows and the Company considers the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the investment, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value, net of salvage and any costs of disposition. The Company recognized no impairment for property and equipment of the individual park locations during the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. 10 PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, or an exit price. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value may be observable or unobservable, and valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels based on the ranks of the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine the fair values. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include our term debt. As of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $ 3.15 million and $ 3.24 million, respectively. The measurement of the fair value of long-term debt is based upon inquiries of the financial institutions holding the respective loans and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The respective carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Other Current Liabilities Other current liabilities consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES December 28, 2025 September 28, 2025 Accrued professional fees $ 186,282 $ 155,800 Deferred revenue 152,571 149,286 Accrued compensation 47,721 178,128 Accrued sales taxes 31,918 42,115 Accrued property taxes 46,405 106,688 Accrued interest 12,156 13,360 Other 22,466 21,866 Other current liabilities $ 499,519 $ 667,243 Revenue Recognition Revenue from park admission fees is recognized at the point in time control transfers to the customer, which is generally when the customer accepts access to the park and the Company is entitled to payment. Park admission revenue for annual season passes is deferred and recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the season pass. Park admission fee revenue from advance online ticket purchases is deferred until the customers visit the park. Prior to January 2026, advance online tickets could generally be used anytime during the one-year period from the date of purchase. In January 2026, subsequent to this fiscal quarter end, the Company changed its policy and only allows advance online tickets to be used on or before the date scheduled to attend the park when making the online purchase. Revenue from retail and concession sales is generally recognized upon the concurrent receipt of payment and delivery of goods to the customer. The Company excludes taxes assessed by governmental agencies from revenue, including sales-related taxes, that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing activities. Animal sales are reported as a separate revenue line item. The Company periodically sells surplus animals created from the natural breeding process that occurs within the parks. Animal sales are recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which generally occurs upon delivery of the animal. Based on the Company’s assessment of control indicators, sales are recognized when animals are delivered to the customer. 11 PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer. Deferred revenue consists of advance online admission tickets and annual season passes paid by customers prior to performance of these services or transfer of control of the product. The following table summarizes the deferred revenue associated with payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer reported in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) and amounts recognized through Park revenue for each period presented. All deferred revenue as of December 28, 2025 is expected to be recognized in Park revenue during the remainder of Fiscal 2026 and the first fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2027 as customers attend the parks or the one-year period expires from the date of purchase. SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUE December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 2025 September 28, 2025 Deferred revenue beginning of period $ 149,286 $ 151,569 Deferred revenue recognized in period ( 71,172 ) ( 64,184 ) Revenue deferred in period 74,457 61,901 Deferred revenue end of period $ 152,571 $ 149,286 The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on geography in Note 10, Business Segments as it believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Cost of Sales Cost of sales are comprised principally of costs of animal food sold resale to customers to feed the animals in the drive-through safari and cost of non-resale animal food, costs of gift shop merchandise, food service and concessions, freight and delivery costs and selling expenses associated with the sale of animals.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses Production costs for outdoor billboards are expensed in the month they are completed. All other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred. Certain prepaid costs incurred through year end for the following fiscal year advertising programs are included within “Prepaid expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Advertising and marketing expenses were $ 242,950 and $ 123,896 for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period associated with the grant. The Company previously awarded shares to its Board of Directors for service on the Board which vested immediately. The shares issued to the Board were “restricted” and were not to be re-sold unless an exemption is available, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company recognizes the expense based on the fair market value at time of the grant. The Company typically awarded its annual Director compensation at the end of each calendar year. There were no outstanding awards as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Transactions with Related Parties The Company’s Board of Directors closely monitors and approves transactions with related parties. A portion of the Company’s long-term debt is secured by a cash collateral reserve of $ 2.5 million established by Focused Compounding. See Note 4, Long-term Debt . As of December 28, 2025, Focused Compounding owned 41.27 % of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Focused Compounding is controlled by Geoffrey Gannon and Andrew Kuhn, who are each on the Company’s Board of Directors and Mr. Gannon serves as the Company’s President. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. Management periodically reviews the Company’s deferred tax assets to determine whether their value can be realized based on available evidence. A valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s income tax provision in the period of change. 12 PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 740 with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits under guidance related to tax uncertainties. Any tax penalties or interest expense will be recognized in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were accrued as of December 28, 2025 or September 28, 2025. Earnings (Loss) per share The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock and common shares equivalent outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . The following table summarizes the components of basic and diluted EPS: SCHEDULE OF EARNING PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 Net (loss) income $ ( 36,061 ) $ 193,041 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 753,577 757,270 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 753,577 757,270 (Loss) earnings per share Basic $ ( 0.05 ) $ 0.25 Diluted $ ( 0.05 ) $ 0.25 Repurchases of Common Stock Shares of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased by the Company through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods in compliance with all of the conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The par value of the shares retired is charged against common stock and the remaining to retained earnings. Dividend Policy The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

ASU 2024-03 allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 on the Company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures. Except as noted, the Company does not expect recently issued accounting standards or interpretations to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures. 13 PARKS! AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3. CONTESTED PROXY AND RELATED MATTERS On December 22, 2023, Focused Compounding Fund, LP (together with the participants in its solicitation, “Focused Compounding”) submitted documents to the Company providing notice as to a demand that the Company hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The Special Meeting was held for the purpose of asking stockholders to consider and vote upon five proposals, including a proposal for the removal of all directors currently serving on the Board of Directors and a proposal for the election of a new Board of Directors comprised entirely of Focused Compounding’s slate of three candidates. The Special Meeting was held on February 26, 2024 and Focused Compounding’s proposal to reconstitute the Board of Directors received the votes of a majority of shareholders who voted, but not a sufficient majority for approval under Nevada law, so it did not pass. On January 19, 2024 following Focused Compounding’s submission to the Company, the Company adopted a rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which provided, among other things, that if specified events occurred, the Company’s stockholders would be entitled to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 18, 2025, the Rights Plan expired pursuant to its terms.

On June 6, 2024 the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The purpose of the 2024 Annual Meeting was for the Company’s stockholders to elect seven nominees to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), as well as consider additional proposals. The Company and Focused Compounding each submitted proxies soliciting the Company’s stockholders to vote for their respective proposed director nominees. The nominees for director included six nominees proposed by the Company and four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders elected four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding and three nominees proposed by the Company. On June 14, 2024, the Company announced that Lisa Brady stepped down as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Board had appointed Geoffrey Gannon as the Company’s President. Mr. Gannon is also the Portfolio Manager at Focused Compounding.

AMERICA, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED) The immediate goal of the Reverse Forward Stock Split was to reduce excessive administrative costs associated with having a disproportionately large number of stockholders who owned relatively few shares. The Company did not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Forward Stock Split. Instead, the Company paid cash (without interest) to any stockholder who would be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Forward Stock Split as follows: (i) Stockholders who held fewer than 500 shares immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were paid in cash (without interest) an amount equal to such number of shares of Company Common Stock held multiplied by the average of the closing sales prices of the Company Common Stock quoted on the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Reverse Stock Split ; and (ii) Any remaining stockholders who would have been entitled to receive fractions of a share as a result of the Reverse Forward Stock Split were paid in cash (without interest) an amount equal to such fractions multiplied by the average of the closing sales prices of the Company Common Stock quoted on the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Forward Stock Split (with such average closing sales prices being adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Forward Stock Split). All prior period outstanding share amounts and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Forward Stock Split that became effective on April 30, 2025. Share Repurchase Program On December 17, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (“2025 Share Repurchase Program”) allowing the Company to repurchase up to the lesser of 75,000 shares (9.95% of shares outstanding on December 17, 2025) or $ 3.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

The Company retains the right to limit, terminate, suspend, discontinue or extend the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice or discretion. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025.

Discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the Company. The CODM uses segment operating income/(loss), defined as park earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and free cash flow as the reportable segment profitability measure to assess performance and allocate resources. Significant segment expenses are expenses which are regularly provided to the CODM and are included in segment operating income/(loss). These consist of segment cost of animal food, merchandise and food, other revenue driven costs, personnel costs, advertising and marketing and all other segment expenses. Segment cost of sales includes cost of animal feed and cost of gift shop merchandise, food and concessions. Other revenue driven costs include credit card fees and other revenue processing fees.

America, Inc. owns and operates three regional safari parks and is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating local and regional entertainment assets and attractions in the United States. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal Safari, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Wild Animal – Georgia”) acquired on June 13, 2005, Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal – Missouri”) acquired on March 5, 2008, and Aggieland-Parks, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas”) acquired on April 27, 2020. Wild Animal – Georgia owns and operates a 500-acre safari park located in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”). Wild Animal – Missouri owns and operates a 255-acre safari park located in Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”). Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas owns and operates a 450-acre safari park located near Bryan/College Station, Texas (the “Texas Park”). Each of the parks is overseen by a general manager and operates autonomously. Management reviews operating results, evaluates performance and makes operating decisions, including allocating resources, on a park-by-park basis. Discrete financial information and operating results are prepared at the individual park level for use by the President and CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). We identify our operating segments to be the individual parks: Georgia Park, Missouri Park and Texas Park. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, but quantitative measures require the results of our operating segments to be reported as three reportable segments. Each of our three parks are located rural areas. The parks are local attractions in that guests usually drive less than one hour out of their way to visit us. Park guests tend to be residents living within 100 miles of our parks, tourists staying within 100 miles of our parks and tourists driving on a road near our parks. Park guests are groups, almost never individuals and most often families, who seek away-from-home entertainment within driving distance. Management does not believe we compete with in-home entertainment or solo activities and therefore, the market is away-from-home activity seekers within driving distance of our parks. Nearby attractions can be either “complements” to our parks or “substitutes” for our parks. Nearby attractions (such as Callaway Gardens and Great Wolf Lodge near our Georgia Park) increase our attendance because some guests of those attractions visit our parks as part of the same trip. All Park Operations Approximately 98% of our revenue is generated from guests who visit our parks and approximately 2% is derived from payments made by buyers of our animals. Park revenues are derived primarily from admission fees, as well as sales of animal food, animal encounters, vehicle rentals, gift shop and specialty item retail sales and food and beverage sales. In addition to the animal environments, each of our parks has a gift shop, a restaurant or concessions areas and picnic areas. We sell food and beverages in our restaurant or concession areas, and a variety of items in our gift shops, including shirts, hats, plush toys, educational books, toys and novelty items, many of which are animal themed. Most of the animals at each of our parks have been born on-site or domestically acquired. We rarely import animals and have not imported any animals in the past 15 years. Auctions and sales of animals across the United States occur often and we may acquire animals in these auctions if we see an opportunity to enhance the animal population at our parks. As a result of natural breeding, animal populations at our parks tend to grow over time. Periodically, we sell surplus animals, and the proceeds are recorded as revenue. The periodic acquisition and sale of animals is also part of our herd and genetic management program. From time-to-time, we may also relocate animals between our parks as part of this program. Each park is subject to routine inspection by federal and state agencies. Each park maintains a high standard of animal care and has passed all recent inspections. 20 Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Parks! America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Seasonality The Company’s operations are seasonal. Our parks are open year-round, and we experience increased seasonal attendance, typically beginning in the latter half of March through early September, and historically have realized a significant portion of our annual park revenue during our third and fourth fiscal quarters. We generated approximately 64.0% and 61.4% of our annual park revenue in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. Contested Proxy and Related Matters On December 22, 2023, Focused Compounding Fund, LP (together with the participants in its solicitation, “Focused Compounding”) submitted documents to the Company providing notice as to a demand that the Company hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The Special Meeting was held for the purpose of asking stockholders to consider and vote upon five proposals, including a proposal for the removal of all directors currently serving on the Board of Directors and a proposal for the election of a new Board of Directors comprised entirely of Focused Compounding’s slate of three candidates. The Special Meeting was held on February 26, 2024 and Focused Compounding’s proposal to reconstitute the Board of Directors received the votes of a majority of shareholders who voted, but not a sufficient majority for approval under Nevada law, so it did not pass. On January 19, 2024, following Focused Compounding’s submission to the Company, we adopted a rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which provided, among other things, that if specified events occurred, our stockholders would be entitled to purchase additional shares of our common stock. On January 18, 2025, the Rights Plan expired pursuant to its terms. On March 1, 2024, Focused Compounding filed a Complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County against the Company and each of the members of our Board of Directors, alleging that the defendants were contemplating efforts to entrench themselves as members of the Board of Directors. On June 20, 2024, Focused Compounding, the Company and the named defendants agreed to a stipulation dismissing with prejudice any and all claims by and between the parties outlined in the initial Complaint in light of the results of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 6, 2024. On June 6, 2024 we held our annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The purpose of the 2024 Annual Meeting was for the Company’s stockholders to elect seven nominees to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), as well as consider additional proposals. The Company and Focused Compounding each submitted proxies soliciting the Company’s stockholders to vote for their respective proposed director nominees. The nominees for director included six nominees proposed by the Company and four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders elected four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding and three nominees proposed by the Company. On June 14, 2024, the Company announced that Lisa Brady stepped down as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Board had appointed Geoffrey Gannon as the Company’s President. Mr. Gannon is also the Portfolio Manager at Focused Compounding. We engaged legal counsel specializing in activist stockholder matters, as well as several other consultants, during this proxy contest. We received $567,157 of insurance proceeds under our directors and officers insurance related to this matter during First Quarter 2025. These proceeds were used to pay certain legal bills associated with the contested proxy and related matters. See Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matters , to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. 21 Reverse Forward Stock Split At the annual shareholder meeting held on March 7, 2025, the stockholders voted to approve the amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1 for 500 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock followed immediately by an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a 5 for 1 forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, herein referred to as the “Reverse Forward Stock Split”. On April 1, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the Reverse Forward Stock Split. On April 10, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (“Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-500 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share followed immediately by the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 5-for-1 forward stock split of the Company Common Stock. The immediate goal of the Reverse Forward Stock Split was to reduce excessive administrative costs associated with having a disproportionately large number of stockholders who owned relatively few shares. Effective on April 30, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Company effected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, followed immediately by a 5-for-1 forward stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock at 5:01 p.m. Eastern Time herein referenced as the “Reverse Forward Stock Split”. Prior to and on May 1, 2025, the Company’s common stock was traded on the OTC Pink market. Effective May 2, 2025, the Company’s common stock is traded on the OTCQX market. As a result of the Reverse Forward Stock Split, the Company’s common stock traded on a post-split basis under the symbol “PRKAD” for 20 trading days, including the effective date of April 30, 2025, after which it reverted to “PRKA.” No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Forward Stock Split. Instead, the Company paid cash (without interest) to any stockholder who would be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Forward Stock Split: (i) Stockholders who held fewer than 500 shares immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were paid in cash (without interest) an amount equal to such number of shares of Company Common Stock held multiplied by the average of the closing sales prices of the Company Common Stock quoted on the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Reverse Stock Split; and (ii) Any remaining stockholders who would have been entitled to receive fractions of a share as a result of the Reverse Forward Stock Split were paid in cash (without interest) an amount equal to such fractions multiplied by the average of the closing sales prices of the Company Common Stock quoted on the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Forward Stock Split (with such average closing sales prices being adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Forward Stock Split). Results of Operations Fiscal Year . Our fiscal year end is on the Sunday closest to September 30 each year. The fiscal periods in this report are presented as follows, unless the context otherwise requires: Fiscal Year Ended Weeks 2026 September 27, 2026 52 2025 September 28, 2025 52 22 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected income statement data. 13 Weeks Ended 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 $’s % of Total Revenue $’s % of Total Revenue Park revenue $ 2,074,410 99.1 % $ 1,719,030 97.1 % Sale of animals 18,988 0.9 % 51,428 2.9 % Total revenue 2,093,398 100.0 % 1,770,458 100.0 % Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 275,975 13.2 % 251,662 14.2 % Selling, general and administrative 1,628,016 77.8 % 1,556,429 87.9 % Depreciation and amortization 211,081 10.1 % 208,548 11.8 % Contested proxy and related matters, net — 0.0 % (567,157 ) -32.0 % Other operating (income), net (2,791 ) -0.1 % (52 ) 0.0 % (Loss) income from operations (18,883 ) -0.9 % 321,028 18.1 % Other (income), net (22,074 ) -1.1 % (13,382 ) -0.8 % Interest expense 48,752 2.3 % 57,469 3.2 % (Loss) income before income taxes (45,561 ) -2.2 % 276,941 15.6 % Income tax (benefit) expense (9,500 ) -0.5 % 83,900 4.7 % Net (loss) income $ (36,061 ) -1.7 % $ 193,041 10.9 % Discussion and Analysis Consolidated and Segment Results of Operations for First Quarter 2026 as Compared to First Quarter 2025 We manage our operations on an individual park location basis. Discrete financial information is maintained for each park and provided to our President, as CODM, for review and as a basis for decision making. The primary performance measures used by the CODM to allocate resources is segment income/(loss), defined as park earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and free cash flow. We use segment income/(loss) and free cash flow as a measure of profitability to gauge segment performance because we believe these measures are the most indicative of performance trends and overall earnings potential of each segment. The following table shows our consolidated and segment operating results for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024: Georgia Park Missouri Park Texas Park Consolidated For the 13 weeks ended For the 13 weeks ended For the 13 weeks ended For the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 Total revenue $ 1,182,629 $ 1,110,718 $ 357,551 $ 289,761 $ 553,218 $ 369,979 $ 2,093,398 $ 1,770,458 Less significant expense categories: (1) Cost of animal food, merchandise and food 156,094 131,243 40,080 44,207 79,801 76,212 275,975 251,662 Other revenue driven costs (2) 23,345 21,004 7,216 5,163 11,588 6,856 42,149 33,023 Personnel costs (3) 342,440 305,029 183,709 166,726 147,148 168,723 673,297 640,478 Advertising and marketing 91,847 40,449 64,610 32,102 86,493 51,345 242,950 123,896 Other segment expenses (4) 257,050 279,047 95,258 90,791 98,992 118,842 451,300 488,680 Segment income (loss) 311,853 333,946 (33,322 ) (49,228 ) 129,196 (51,999 ) 407,727 232,719 Segment operating margin (loss) % 26.4 % 30.1 % -9.3 % -17.0 % 23.4 % -14.1 % 19.5 % 13.1 % Less: Unallocated corporate expenses (5) 218,320 270,352 Depreciation and amortization 211,081 208,548 Other operating (income), net (2,791 ) (52 ) Contested proxy and related matters, net - (567,157 ) Other (income), net (22,074 ) (13,382 ) Interest expense 48,752 57,469 (Loss) income before income taxes $ (45,561 ) $ 276,941 (1) The significant expense categories and amounts align the CODM.

Park revenue was $2.07 million in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $355,380 or 20.7%, compared to $1.72 million in First Quarter 2025. Animal sales were $18,988 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $32,440 or 63.1%, compared to $51,428 in First Quarter 2025. The decrease is driven by the timing of animal sales at our Georgia Park and Missouri Park year over year. Georgia Park revenue was $1.17 million in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $88,229 or 8.1% compared to $1.08 million in First Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher admission revenue due to more favorable weather conditions, especially during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, compared to First Quarter 2025. In addition, in-park guest spending on animal encounters increased due to concerted effort by management to allocate more resources to offer additional animal encounters to the guests, as well as an increase in food service and gift shop revenue due to the higher attendance. Missouri Park revenue was $357,151 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $81,420 or 29.5% compared to $275,731 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher admission revenue due to the more favorable weather conditions, especially during the week of Christmas, compared to First Quarter 2025. In addition, in-park guest spending on animal encounters increased primarily due to the addition and success of the capybara encounter offering, as well as the completion of the new animal encounter building to complement the guest experience for animal encounters. Texas Park revenue was $546,110 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $185,731 or 51.5% compared to $360,379 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in admission revenue due to more favorable weather conditions compared to First Quarter 2025 and a continued positive response to the new admission pass pricing and effectiveness of new marketing strategies. In addition, in-park guest spending, primarily animal food sales and concessions, increased compared to First Quarter 2025. Attendance Georgia Park attendance increased approximately 16.7% during First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025. The increase in attendance was primarily due to more favorable weather conditions, especially during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, compared to First Quarter 2025. Missouri Park attendance increased by approximately 21.4% during First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025 primarily driven by more favorable weather conditions, especially during the week of Christmas, compared to First Quarter 2025. The Texas Park provided customers with free admissions promotions on certain days during the First Quarter 2025 and we do not believe attendance is a comparable to the prior year. 24 Significant Expenses Cost of animal food, merchandise and food Consolidated cost of animal food, merchandise and food was $275,975 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $24,313 or 9.7% compared to $251,662 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to the Georgia Park increase in gift shop and food service cost of sales because of the increase in gift shop and food service revenue. Other revenue driven costs Consolidated other revenue driven costs were $42,149 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $9,126 or 27.6% compared to $33,023 in First Quarter 2025 driven by an overall increase in Park revenue. Personnel costs Consolidated personnel costs were $673,297 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $32,819 or 5.1% compared to $640,478 in First Quarter 2025. The increase in personnel costs at the Georgia Park and Missouri Park was primarily driven by additional educational and zookeeper personnel compared to First Quarter 2025 offset by a decrease in personnel costs at the Texas Park due to the park being closed to the public two days a week during First Quarter 2026 compared to being open seven days a week during Fiscal 2025. In addition, an internal graphic designer and event planner were added in Fourth Quarter 2025 for the benefit of all three parks. Advertising and marketing Consolidated advertising and marketing expenses were $242,950 in First Quarter 2026 compared to $123,896 in First Quarter 2025. The Company switched their advertising agency in First Quarter 2025. The new advertising agency recommended a different mix of advertising and marketing strategies that included increased social media and digital marketing spending in First Quarter 2026 compared to television and radio advertising in First Quarter 2025. Other segment expenses Consolidated other segment expenses were $451,300 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $37,380 or 7.6% compared to $488,680 in First Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower outside services at the Georgia Park as well as lower park maintenance expenses, due to the one-time demolition costs of an unoccupied house on the Georgia Park grounds in First Quarter 2025 and lower operating expenses at the Texas Park, primarily due to the purchase of new park signs in First Quarter 2025 and lower travel related expenses compared to First Quarter 2026. Segment Income Consolidated segment income was $407,727 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $175,008 or 75.2%, from $232,719 in First Quarter 2025. Georgia Park segment income was $311,853 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $22,093 or 6.6% from $333,946 in First Quarter 2025. The increase in admission revenue and gross margin from in-park guest spending on animal food, gift shop and food service was not enough to offset the higher advertising and marketing costs and higher personnel costs that were slightly offset lower other segment expenses, primarily due to the one-time demolition costs of an unoccupied house at the Georgia Park in First Quarter 2025. Missouri Park segment loss was $33,322 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $15,906 or 32.3% from segment loss of $49,228 in First Quarter 2025. The increase in admission revenue and in-park guest spending on animal encounters was more than the increase in advertising and marketing costs that were offset by lower personnel costs and other segment expenses, primarily lower insurance expense and property taxes due to timing of the accrual compared to First Quarter 2025. Texas Park segment income was $129,196 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $181,195 from segment loss of $51,999 in First Quarter 2025. The increase in admission revenue and gross margin from in-park guest spending on animal food, gift shop and concessions more than offset the increase in advertising and marketing costs that were offset by lower personnel costs and other segment expenses, primarily timing of spend for park signage and travel related costs compared to First Quarter 2025. Corporate Expenses Corporate expenses were $218,320 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $52,032 from $270,352 in First Quarter 2025 primarily driven by lower professional fees, due to timing of accruals, lower insurance expense and director fee compensation offset slightly by higher personnel costs in First Quarter 2026. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense was $211,081 in First Quarter 2026, compared to $208,548 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was driven by higher depreciation expense at the Georgia Park related to the new restroom facility placed on service during Second Quarter 2025. 25 Contested Proxy and Related Matters Contested proxy and related matters, net was none in First Quarter 2026 compared to the credit of $567,157 in First Quarter 2025. The credit in First Quarter 2025 was from the receipt of insurance proceeds from our directors and officers insurance policy associated with the contested proxy and related matters. See Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matters, to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. Other operating (income), net Other operating income, net was $2,791 in First Quarter 2026 compared to $52 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was due to higher net gain on disposals of property and equipment during First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025. Other Income, net Other income, net was $22,074 in First Quarter 2026, an increase of $8,692 from $13,382 in First Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the one-time non-operating expense at the Texas Park included in First Quarter 2025. Interest Expense Interest expense was $48,752 in First Quarter 2026, a decrease of $8,717 from $57,469 in First Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in the 2025 Term Loan variable interest rate of approximately 75 basis points compared to First Quarter 2025 and a decrease in the 2021 Term Loan interest due to lower principal balances. Income Taxes We recorded income tax benefit for First Quarter 2026 of $9,500 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 20.9% compared to income tax expense of $83,900 for First Quarter 2025 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 30.3%. The overall effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to Georgia state taxes. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions that may affect the Company’s financial results. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2026 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these provisions which could affect the Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets; however, it is not expected to have a material impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Net Income (Loss) As a result of the above factors, Net loss was $36,061 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share in First Quarter 2026 compared to Net income of $193,041 or $.25 per basic and diluted share in First Quarter 2025. 26 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we report the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors, allowing them to assess how the business performed excluding the effects of significant non-recurring and non-operational items. We believe the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparing the results being reported against past and future results by eliminating amounts that we believe are not comparable between periods and assists investors in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s own methods for evaluating business performance. The methods we use to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods other companies use to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as these measures may exclude a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding significant non-recurring or non-operational items as set forth below. While adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance and useful to investors. Other significant non-recurring and non-operational items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effects in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below: ● Contested proxy and related matters, net – directors and officers insurance proceeds for the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2024. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted diluted net income per share: Unaudited 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 Net (loss) income $ (36,061 ) $ 193,041 Contested proxy and related matters, net — (567,157 ) Tax impact (1) — 153,130 Adjusted net loss (2) $ (36,061 ) $ (220,986 ) Adjusted diluted net loss per share (2) $ (0.05 ) $ (0.29 ) Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (2) 753,577 757,270 (1) The tax impact of adjustments is calculated at the applicable U.S. Federal and State statutory rates. (2) Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Forward Stock Split that became effective on April 30, 2025. Refer to Note 6, Stockholders Equity for further information about the Reverse Forward Stock Split. 27 While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure as it is widely used by analysts, investors and comparable companies in the entertainment and attractions industry to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as well as more easily compare our results with those of other companies in our industry. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park-level operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating results and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined under GAAP. Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effects in a given period, which affects comparability of results and are described below: ● Contested proxy and related matters, net – directors and officers insurance proceeds for the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2024. ● Net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment – disposal of property and equipment for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected income statement data and a reconciliation of our Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA: Unaudited 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 2025 December 29, 2024 Net (loss) income $ (36,061 ) $ 193,041 Income tax (benefit) expense (9,500 ) 83,900 Interest expense 48,752 57,469 Depreciation and amortization 211,081 208,548 Contested proxy and related matters, net — (567,157 ) Gain on disposal of property and equipment, net (2,791 ) (52 ) Adjusted EBITDA $ 211,481 $ (24,251 ) Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Financial Condition and Liquidity Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and borrowings under our loan agreements. Historically, our slow season starts after Labor Day in September and runs until Spring Break, which typically begins toward the middle to end of March. The first and second quarters of our fiscal year have historically generated negative cash flow, requiring us to use cash generated from prior fiscal years, as well as borrowing on a seasonal basis, to fund operations and prepare our parks for the busy season during the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Our working capital was $3.05 million as of December 28, 2025, compared to $3.28 million as of September 28, 2025. The decrease in working capital primarily reflects a reduction in accounts payable as a result of the contested proxy insurance proceeds offset by cash used for capital spending and scheduled term loan payments. Total long-term debt, including current maturities, as of December 28, 2025 was $3.09 million compared to $3.19 million as of September 28, 2025. The decrease in total long-term debt is primarily the result of scheduled term loan principal payments paid during First Quarter 2026. As of December 28, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of $15.23 million and total loan debt of $3.09 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.20 to 1.0, compared to stockholders’ equity of $15.27 million and total loan debt of $3.19 million resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.21 to 1.0 as of September 28, 2025. 28 Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities was $56,679 during First Quarter 2026, compared to $54,797 during First Quarter 2025. The decrease in net income and year over year change in non-cash items, primarily deferred income taxes, was offset by higher cash provided due to the year over year changes in working capital, primarily accounts payable, as directors and officers insurance proceeds received in First Quarter 2025 were used to pay down accounts payable associated with the contested proxy and related matters. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $300,855 during First Quarter 2026, compared to net cash provided in investing activities of $260,966 during First Quarter 2025 resulting in a net decrease of $561,821. Our investing activity during First Quarter 2026 included capital spending of $304,853. Our investing activity during First Quarter 2025 included cash provided of $838,442 from the maturity of short-term investments in certificates of deposit. Our capital spending for First Quarter 2025 was $601,476. The decrease in capital spending in First Quarter 2026 is primarily attributed to the higher capital spending at the Georgia Park during First Quarter 2025 primarily related to the new restroom facility. Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities was $97,888 during First Quarter 2026, compared to $34,261 during First Quarter 2025 resulting in an increase of $63,627. During First Quarter 2026 our financing activity was scheduled term loan principal payments of $97,888. During First Quarter 2025, the 2020 Term Loan was refinanced with the 2025 Term Loan during First Quarter 2025 resulting in net cash provided of $110,429 offset by payments of $144,690 for scheduled term loan principal payments and term loan refinancing fees. Borrowing Agreements On September 30, 2024, Aggieland-Parks, Inc. completed a refinancing transaction of the 2025 Term Loan with Cendera Bank N.A. The 2025 Term Loan provided an original principal amount of $2.5 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay all the indebtedness under the 2020 Term Loan, and bears interest at a daily adjusted rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.5%. The initial interest rate was 7.50%. As of December 28, 2025, the effective interest rate was at 6.25%. The 2025 Term Loan has a term of 10 years, with a 15-year amortization, and a balloon payment of the outstanding principal balance due September 30, 2034. The initial monthly loan payment was $23,200 and has been reduced with the decrease in the effective interest rate to $21,619 as of December 28, 2025. Aggieland-Parks, Inc., paid approximately $60,716 of fees and expenses in connection with the 2025 Term Loan. The outstanding balance of the 2025 Term Loan was $2.39 and $2.41 million as of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, respectively. The 2025 Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of Aggieland-Parks, Inc., as well as a cash collateral reserve of $2.5 million established by Focused Compounding Fund, LP, with Cendera Bank N.A. Geoffrey Gannon and Andrew Kuhn control Focused Compounding Fund, LP, and each serves on the Board of the Company, and Mr. Gannon serves as the Company’s President. Focused Compounding did not receive a fee or any other benefit in connection with establishing the above-described cash collateral reserve. See Note 4, Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures. 29 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preceding discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
