Our parks are open year-round, and the Company experiences 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. The Company 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.

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 SEC on December 12, 2025.

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 June 28, 2026 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 June 28, 2026 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.

Accounts Receivable The Company typically carries limited accounts receivable balances because the parks are primarily an upfront payment business. The Company had accounts receivable of $ 277 , $ 18,293 and $ 63,784 as of June 28, 2026, September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

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 June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2025, respectively.

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 and 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively. 11 PARKS!

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: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, including inputs derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable or inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. 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 that are disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include our long-term debt and derivatives. As of June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $ 2.93 million and $ 3.21 million, respectively. As of June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap liability was $ 66,358 and none , respectively. The measurement of the fair value of long-term debt is based upon inquiries of the financial institutions holding the respective loans and the interest rate swap from a discounted cash flow model using observable SOFR forward curves both considered as 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. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, uses interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate exposures. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, then the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and changes in fair value qualifying for cash-flow-hedge accounting are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), with amounts reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments affect earnings. Hedges of Interest Rate Risk On June 17, 2026, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas, entered into a Rate Conversion Agreement, an interest rate swap, with ARC Fixed Rate Provider, with Cendera Bank acting as servicing agent, to manage variability in the amount of cash payments of the related debt (“Rate Conversion Agreement”). The Company’s objective in using the interest rate swap is to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges typically involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the contract without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Under the Rate Conversion Agreement, the Company pays Cendera Bank the 6.99 % fixed rate of interest and Cendera Bank, acting as the servicing agent for ARC Fixed Rate Provider, settles the variable amounts with ARC Fixed Rate Provider. Realized gains or losses from interest rate swaps are recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense. Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swap contracts will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are accrued or made on our variable-rate debt. Other Current Liabilities Other current liabilities consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES June 28, 2026 September 28, 2025 Accrued professional fees $ 148,805 $ 155,800 Deferred revenue 148,514 149,286 Accrued property & income taxes 75,361 106,688 Accrued compensation 58,154 178,128 Accrued sales taxes 46,838 42,115 Accrued interest 12,090 13,360 Other 16,519 21,866 Other current liabilities $ 506,281 $ 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, online tickets purchased in advance could generally be used anytime during the one-year period from the date of purchase. In January 2026, the Company changed its online ticket redemption policy. The new policy only allows online tickets purchased in advance to be used on or before the date scheduled to attend the park. This new policy will reduce the amount of deferred revenue for unredeemed online ticket purchases. The balance of unredeemed online tickets purchased prior to January 2026 will be recognized in revenue during the month when the one-year period expires from the date of 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. 12 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 June 28, 2026 is expected to be recognized in Park revenue during the remainder of Fiscal 2026 and in the first fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2027 when customers redeem their online tickets purchased in advance during their visit at the parks or for unredeemed online tickets purchased prior to January, 2026 when the one-year period expires from the date of purchase. SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUE June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 For the 13 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Deferred revenue beginning of period $ 162,532 $ 129,037 $ 149,286 $ 115,950 Deferred revenue recognized in period ( 50,710 ) ( 68,429 ) ( 200,096 ) ( 191,267 ) Revenue deferred in period 36,692 90,961 199,324 226,886 Deferred revenue end of period $ 148,514 $ 151,569 $ 148,514 $ 151,569 The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on geography in Note 11, 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 consists principally of cost of resale animal food sold to customers to feed the animals in the drive-through safari and cost of non-resale animal food, cost of gift shop merchandise, food service and concessions, freight and delivery costs and selling expenses associated with the sale of animals. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefit costs, advertising and marketing costs, insurance, professional fees, transaction processing fees, utilities, outside services, vehicle expenses, park maintenance expenses, animal expenses and other administrative expenses. 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 fiscal quarter end for the following fiscal quarter advertising programs are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Advertising and marketing expenses, inclusive of segment and corporate expenses, were $ 195,804 and $ 256,633 for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively and $ 688,565 and $ 623,156 for the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively, and these amounts are reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). 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 June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively. Transactions with Related Parties The Company’s Board of Directors closely monitors and approves transactions with related parties. As of June 28, 2026, Focused Compounding Fund L.P. owned 41.27 % of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Focused Compounding Fund L.P. 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. 13 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 June 28, 2026 or September 28, 2025. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Other comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from shareholders and is comprised solely of an unrealized loss on the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge. SCHEDULE OF OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME LOSS For the 13 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Beginning balance: Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ — $ — $ — $ — Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ — $ — $ — $ — Other comprehensive (loss) Unrealized loss on interest rate swap designated as cash flow hedge (net of tax $ ( 15,925 ) , $ 0 , $ ( 15,925 ) , $ 0 , respectively) ( 50,433 ) — ( 50,433 ) — Ending balance: Accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of tax $ ( 15,925 ) , $ 0 , $ ( 15,925 ) , $ 0 , respectively) $ ( 50,433 ) $ — $ ( 50,433 ) $ — Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ ( 50,433 ) $ — $ ( 50,433 $ — No amounts were reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss during any of the periods presented. 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 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 For the 13 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Net income $ 742,756 $ 824,370 $ 736,240 $ 769,649 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 750,001 754,862 751,900 756,467 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 750,001 754,862 751,900 756,467 Earnings per share Basic $ 0.99 $ 1.09 $ 0.98 $ 1.02 Diluted $ 0.99 $ 1.09 $ 0.98 $ 1.02 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.

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, L.P. (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 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 its Board of Directors, alleging that the defendants were contemplating efforts to entrench themselves as members of the Board. 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. The Company engaged legal counsel specializing in activist stockholder matters, as well as several other consultants, during this proxy contest.

During the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025 a credit of $ 103,657 was recorded from the reversal of previously accrued contested proxy legal fees that were waived as part of the full settlement of outstanding invoices. During the 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025, the $ 670,814 credit included $ 567,157 of insurance proceeds received under its directors and officers insurance related to this matter. These proceeds were used to pay certain legal bills associated with the contested proxy and related matters. The remaining credit of $ 103,657 was recognized from the reversal of previously accrued contested proxy legal fees that were waived as part of the full settlement of outstanding invoices. NOTE 4.

The 2020 Term Loan had an interest rate of 5.0 % per annum, had a maturity date of April 27, 2031 , and required interest only monthly payments through April 2021. The 2020 Term Loan required monthly payments of approximately $ 53,213 beginning in May 2021. The Company paid a total of approximately $ 62,375 in fees and expenses in connection with the 2020 Term Loan. On June 30, 2021, the Company used the incremental proceeds of the 2021 Term Loan, combined with additional funds, to pay down $ 1.0 million against the 2020 Term Loan, which had an outstanding balance of $ 2.39 million as of September 29, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the 2020 Term Loan with First Financial was fully paid off with the proceeds of the Former 2025 Term Loan. On September 30, 2024 , Aggieland-Parks, Inc., completed a refinancing transaction for the Former 2025 Term Loan with Cendera Bank, N.A. The Former 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, with interest at a daily adjusted rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.50%. The initial interest rate was 7.50 %. As of June 16, 2026, the effective interest rate was 6.25 %. The Former 2025 Term Loan had 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 was reduced with the decrease in the effective interest rate to $ 21,619 as of June 16, 2026. Aggieland-Parks, Inc., paid approximately $ 60,716 of fees and expenses in connection with the Former 2025 Term Loan. The Former 2025 Term Loan was 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, L.P., with Cendera Bank, N.A. Geoffrey Gannon and Andrew Kuhn control Focused Compounding Fund, L.P., and each serve 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. On June 17, 2026, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas, completed a refinancing transaction with Cendera Bank resulting in the amendment and restatement of the Term Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2024 between Aggieland-Parks, Inc. and Cendera Bank, N.A., predecessor to Cendera Bank (“Current 2025 Term Loan”). The Current 2025 Term Loan provided a principal balance of $ 2.33 million and will mature on June 1, 2033. The Current 2025 Term Loan has a term of seven years, with a 25-year amortization, and a balloon payment of the outstanding principal balance due on June 1, 2033 . The monthly loan payment will be $ 16,561 . The applicable interest rate of the Current 2025 Term Loan is based on an adjusted rate equal to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) 1-month term SOFR plus 2.70%. The CME 1-month term SOFR was 3.64% as of June 17, 2026, providing an initial interest rate of 6.34%. As of June 28, 2026, the CME 1-month term SOFR rate was 3.64%. Concurrently, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas entered into a Rate Conversion Agreement with third-party provider, SouthState Bank, N.A., doing business as ARC Fixed Rate Provider, with Cendera Bank acting as servicing agent. The Rate Conversion Agreement is coterminous with the Current 2025 Term Loan and effectively converts the variable adjusted rate interest payments into a fixed rate obligation, resulting in a fixed interest rate of 6.99% over the term of the loan. Aggieland-Parks, Inc. paid $ 14,896 in fees and expenses in connection with the Current 2025 Term Loan. The Rate Conversion Agreement, interest rate swap, is designated as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, and changes in fair value qualifying for cash-flow-hedge accounting are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), with amounts reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Current 2025 Term Loan is secured by substantially all the Aggieland-Parks, Inc.’s assets. Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, the Current 2025 Term Loan is guaranteed by the parent company, Parks! America, Inc. The Current 2025 Term Loan refinancing removes the requirement of the cash collateral reserve of $ 2.5 million established by Focused Compounding Fund, L.P. with Cendera Bank included in the original Term Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2024. The Guaranty Agreement and Amended and Restated Loan Agreement are subject to certain financial covenants including that, Parks! America, Inc., as guarantor, and Aggieland Parks, Inc., as borrower, independently maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Both the Guaranty Agreement and Amended and Restated Loan Agreement contain certain affirmative covenants, including, among other things, reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, federal or state income tax filings and such other reports. The outstanding balance of the Current 2025 Term Loan was $ 2.33 million and the Former 2025 Term Loan was $ 2.41 million as of June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2025, respectively. 17 PARKS!

AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 7. 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 OTC Pink market 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 OTC Pink market 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). 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 specific timing, price and size of purchases will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, and other considerations. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate, suspend, discontinue or extend the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice or discretion.

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.

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 park locations are located in 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. 24 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, L.P. (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. For Year-to-Date 2026 and Year-to-Date 2025, contested proxy and related matters, net was zero and a credit of $670,814. The $670,814 credit for Year-to-Date 2025 consisted of $567,157 of insurance proceeds received 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. The remaining credit of $103,657 was recognized in Third Quarter 2025 from the reversal of previously accrued contested proxy legal fees that were waived as part of the full settlement of outstanding invoices. See Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matters , to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. 25 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 were 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 OTC Pink market 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 OTC Pink market 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).

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. In January 2026 we completed a strategic switch to a new ticketing platform provider which we believe improves guest experience while also providing improved functionality and reporting for our park customer service teams. This change had a net neutral impact on our profitability. With this change in January 2026 we started to directly upcharge and collect from customers a transaction processing fee that is included in total Park revenue and included in Other revenue driven costs. Prior to January 2026 we did not directly upcharge for the customer transaction processing fees and therefore the customer transaction processing fees were excluded from total Park revenue and Other revenue driven costs. We did present pro-forma Park revenue excluding transaction processing fees collected from customers for Third Quarter 2026 for comparison to Third Quarter 2025 and for Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025. The following table shows our consolidated and segment operating results for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025: 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 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Total revenue $ 2,002,395 $ 1,999,462 $ 848,357 $ 656,191 $ 648,551 $ 820,267 $ 3,499,303 $ 3,475,920 Less significant expense categories: (1) Cost of animal food, merchandise and food 319,342 231,046 94,850 70,071 67,458 100,729 481,650 401,846 Other revenue driven costs (2) 43,090 40,946 29,456 12,848 19,602 15,462 92,148 69,256 Personnel costs (3) 406,635 381,265 259,093 196,445 154,120 169,849 819,848 747,559 Advertising and marketing 67,162 91,284 51,150 68,690 70,739 91,555 189,051 251,529 Other segment expenses (4) 272,487 266,251 104,729 91,388 112,498 109,141 489,714 466,780 Segment income 893,679 988,670 309,079 216,749 224,134 333,531 1,426,892 1,538,950 Segment operating margin % 44.6 % 49.4 % 36.4 % 33.0 % 34.6 % 40.7 % 40.8 % 44.3 % Less: Unallocated corporate expenses (5) 247,637 277,876 Depreciation and amortization 220,799 230,756 Contested proxy and related matters, net — (103,657 ) Other operating expense, net — 13,750 Other (income), net (17,454 ) (18,345 ) Interest expense 45,292 53,970 Income before income taxes $ 930,618 $ 1,084,599 (1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment -level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.

The following table shows our consolidated and segment Park revenue for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively, along with proforma Park revenue for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2026: For the 13 weeks ended For the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2026 Proforma June 29, 2025 Georgia $ 1,975,395 $ 1,966,480 $ 1,980,420 Missouri 833,857 818,897 656,191 Texas 615,121 607,909 761,047 Total Park revenue $ 3,424,373 $ 3,393,286 $ 3,397,658 28 Results of Operations Third Quarter 2026 compared with Third Quarter 2025 Total Revenue and Park Revenue Total revenue was $3.50 million in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $23,383 or 0.7%, compared to $3.48 million during Third Quarter 2025. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude transaction processing fees collected from customers in Park revenue, our total revenue was $3.47 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $7,704 or 0.2% compared to $3.48 million during Third Quarter 2025. Park revenue was $3.42 million in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $26,715 or 0.8%, compared to $3.40 million during Third Quarter 2025. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude transaction processing fees collected from customers in Park revenue, our Park revenue was $3.39 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $4,372 or 0.1% compared to $3.40 million during Third Quarter 2025. Animal sales were $74,930 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $3,332 or 4.3% compared to $78,262 during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease is driven by the timing of animal sales. Georgia Park revenue was $1.98 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $5,025 or 0.3% compared to $1.98 million during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower in-park guest spending on vehicle rentals due to fewer vehicles available to guests compared to Third Quarter 2025. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Georgia Park revenue, our Park revenue was $1.97 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $13,940 or 0.7% compared to $1.98 million during Third Quarter 2025. Missouri Park revenue was $833,857 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $177,666 or 27.1% compared to $656,191 during Third Quarter 2025. The increase in admission revenue was driven by higher attendance compared to the Third Quarter 2025 due to a positive response to community outreach and social media efforts increasing awareness of the park as well as more favorable weather conditions compared to the Third 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. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Missouri Park revenue, our Park revenue was $818,897 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $162,706 or 24.8% compared to $656,191 during Third Quarter 2025. Texas Park revenue was $615,121 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $145,926 or 19.2% compared to $761,047 during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease is primarily due to lower admission revenue and gift shop revenue due to lower overall attendance compared to Third Quarter 2025. The decrease in attendance is primarily driven by the park being open to the public seven days a week for all but the last two weeks of Third Quarter 2025 compared to five days a week throughout the entire Third Quarter 2026. In addition, the marketing mix changed in Third Quarter 2026 which seemed to negatively impact overall attendance. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Texas Park revenue, our Park revenue was $607,909 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $153,138 or 20.1% compared to $761,047 during Third Quarter 2025. Attendance Georgia Park attendance increased approximately 0.1% during Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025. Missouri Park attendance increased by approximately 8.5% during Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025 primarily driven by a positive response to community outreach and social media as well as more favorable weather conditions compared to Third Quarter 2025. Texas Park attendance decreased approximately 40.7% in Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025. The decrease in attendance is primarily driven by the park being open to the public seven days a week for all but the last two weeks of Third Quarter 2025 compared to five days a week throughout the entire Third Quarter 2026. In addition, the marketing mix changed in Third Quarter 2026 which seemed to negatively impact overall attendance. In Third Quarter 2025 increased attendance was driven by a positive response to new admission pass pricing in early May 2025 and effectiveness of new marketing strategies. The new admission pass pricing offered a safari pass that grants access only to the drive-thru safari and an adventure pass that grants access to both the drive-thru safari and walkabout adventure zoo. In addition, a family four pack was added that grants access to both the drive-thru safari and walkabout adventure zoo. 29 Significant Expenses Cost of animal food, merchandise and food Consolidated cost of animal food, merchandise and food was $481,650 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $79,804 or 19.9% compared to $401,846 during Third Quarter 2025. The increase was driven by price increases in resale animal food and increase in non-resale animal food purchases compared to Third Quarter 2025. Other revenue driven costs Consolidated other revenue driven costs were $92,148 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $22,892 or 33.1% compared to $69,256 during Third Quarter 2025 primarily driven by the additional expense related to the transaction processing fees paid to the new ticketing platform provider that were excluded in Third Quarter 2025. On a pro forma basis, excluding the transaction processing fees paid to the new ticketing platform provider, consolidated other revenue driven costs were $60,498 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $8,758 or 12.6% compared to $69,256 during Third Quarter 2025. Other revenue driven costs during Third Quarter 2026 included a $9,703 cost-plus fee adjustment credit received from our payment processor through our contractual relationship with our new ticketing platform provider. Personnel costs Consolidated personnel costs were $819,848 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $72,289 or 9.7% compared to $747,559 during Third Quarter 2025. The increase in personnel costs at the Georgia Park and Missouri Park was primarily driven by additional education and zookeeper personnel compared to Third Quarter 2025. In addition, an internal graphic designer and event planner were hired during Fourth Quarter 2025 and a social media content and animal educator was hired later in Second Quarter 2026 for the benefit of all three parks. Advertising and marketing Consolidated advertising and marketing expenses were $189,051 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $62,478 or 24.8% compared to $251,529 during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was driven by lower social media and digital marketing costs. Other segment expenses Consolidated other segment expenses were $489,714 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $22,934 or 4.9% compared to $466,780 during Third Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of special events at the parks which are aligned with recognized animal awareness days and major holidays and high traffic weekends, higher park maintenance expense at our Texas park due to costs incurred for flood damage repairs on park grounds and higher animal expenses at our Georgia Park due to the cost of transporting a giraffe from our Missouri Park offset by lower insurance expenses at all three parks. Segment Income Consolidated segment income was $1.43 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $112,058 or 7.3% from $1.54 million during Third Quarter 2025. Georgia Park segment income was $0.89 million in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $94,991 or 9.6% from $0.99 million during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in the cost of resale and non-resale animal food and the changes in significant other segment expenses, primarily higher personnel costs, higher animal expenses due to costs incurred to transport a giraffe from our Missouri Park, higher other revenue driven costs, due to the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, offset by lower advertising and marketing costs and insurance expense compared to Third Quarter 2025. Missouri Park segment income was $309,079 in Third Quarter 2026, an increase of $92,330 or 42.6% from $216,749 during Third Quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in admission revenue and in-park guest spending on animal encounters offset by changes in significant other segment expenses, primarily higher personnel costs, higher events and promotions expenses, higher animal expenses, and higher other revenue driven costs due to the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, offset by lower advertising and marketing costs and insurance expense compared to Third Quarter 2025. Texas Park segment income was $224,134 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $109,397 or 32.8% from $333,531 during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in admission revenue and in-park guest spending in the gift shop due to lower attendance and changes in significant other segment expenses, primarily higher park maintenance expenses due to costs incurred for flood damage repairs on park grounds, higher other revenue driven costs, due to the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, offset by lower personnel costs, lower advertising and marketing costs and lower travel related costs compared to Third Quarter 2025. Corporate Expenses Corporate expenses were $247,637 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $30,239 or 10.9% from $277,876 during Third Quarter 2025 primarily driven by lower professional fees, due to timing of accruals, and lower insurance expense compared to Third Quarter 2025. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense was $220,799 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $9,957 or 4.3% compared to $230,756 during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was driven by lower depreciation expense for our Texas Park and Missouri Park due to assets becoming fully depreciated offset by higher depreciation expense at the Georgia Park related to the new restroom facility placed in service during Second Quarter 2025. 30 Contested Proxy and Related Matters, net Contested proxy and related matters, net was none in Third Quarter 2026 compared to a credit of $103,657 during Third Quarter 2025. The credit in Third Quarter 2025 was from the reversal of previously accrued contested proxy legal fees that were waived as part of the full settlement of outstanding invoices during Third Quarter 2025.

Other Income, net Other income, net was $17,454 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $891 from $18,345 during Third Quarter 2025. Interest Expense Interest expense was $45,292 in Third Quarter 2026, a decrease of $8,678 from $53,970 or 16.1% during Third Quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the approximately 75 basis points reduction on the Former 2025 Term Loan variable interest rate compared to Third Quarter 2025 and a decrease in the 2021 Term Loan interest due to lower principal balances. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense for Third Quarter 2026 of $187,862 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 20.2% compared to income tax expense of $260,229 for Third Quarter 2025 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 24.0%. 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 on our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share As a result of the above factors, Net income was $742,756 and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.99 in Third Quarter 2026 compared with Net income of $824,370 and basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.09 in Third Quarter 2025.

The following table shows our consolidated and segment Park revenue for 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively, along with proforma Park revenue for the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026: For the 39 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 Proforma June 29, 2025 Georgia $ 4,249,081 $ 4,229,181 $ 4,102,471 Missouri 1,653,236 1,630,736 1,293,000 Texas 1,842,368 1,827,602 1,700,562 Total Park revenue $ 7,744,685 $ 7,687,519 $ 7,096,033 31 Year-to-Date 2026 compared with Year-to-Date 2025 Total Revenue and Park Revenue Our total revenue was $7.89 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $640,649 or 8.8%, compared to $7.25 million during Year-to-Date 2025. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude transaction processing fees collected from customers in Park revenue, our total revenue was $7.83 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $583,482 or 8.0% compared to $7.25 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Our total Park revenue was $7.74 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $648,652 or 9.1%, compared to $7.10 million during Year-to-Date 2025. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude transaction processing fees collected from customers in Park revenue, our Park revenue was $7.69 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $591,486 or 8.3% compared to $7.10 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Animal sales were $144,363 for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $8,003 or 5.3% compared to $152,366 for Year-to-Date 2025 primarily driven by a decrease in animal sales at our Texas Park offset by an increase at our Georgia Park due to timing of animal sales. Georgia Park revenue was $4.25 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $146,610 or 3.6% compared to $4.10 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase was driven by the increase in attendance primarily due to more favorable weather conditions, especially during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas in First Quarter 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 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. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Georgia Park revenue, our Park revenue was $4.23 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $126,710 or 3.1% compared to $4.10 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Missouri Park revenue was $1.65 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $360,236 or 27.9% compared to $1.29 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase was driven by higher attendance due to a positive response to community outreach and social media efforts increasing awareness of the park and more favorable weather conditions over the winter months, especially during the week of Christmas in First Quarter 2026, compared to Year-to-Date 2025. In addition, in-park guest spending on animal encounters increased primarily due to the addition and success of the capybara encounter offering not offered in the Year-to-Date 2025, as well as the completion of the new animal encounter building to complement the guest experience for animal encounters. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Missouri Park revenue, our Park revenue was $1.63 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $337,735 or 26.1% compared to $1.29 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Texas Park revenue was $1.84 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $141,806 or 8.3% compared to $1.70 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase in revenue was driven by higher admission ticket prices and an increase in in-park guest spending primarily on animal encounters and animal food since Year-to-Date 2025 certain admission packages included animal food and animal encounters in the admission pricing offset by lower gift shop spending due to lower attendance. On a pro-forma basis, adjusting for the change to exclude customer transaction processing fees in Texas Park revenue, our Park revenue was $1.83 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $127,040 or 7.5% compared to $1.70 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Attendance Georgia Park attendance increased approximately 2.0% during Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Missouri Park attendance increased by approximately 11.6% during Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025 primarily driven by a positive response to community outreach and social media efforts increasing awareness of the park and more favorable weather conditions, especially during the week of Christmas, compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Texas Park provided customers with free admissions promotions on certain days during the Year-to-Date 2025 and we do not believe attendance is comparable to the prior year. Significant Expenses Cost of animal food, merchandise and food Consolidated cost of animal food, merchandise and food was $1.06 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $88,753 or 9.2% compared to $0.97 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase was primarily driven by price increases in resale animal food compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Other revenue driven costs Consolidated other revenue driven costs were $200,790 for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $56,965 or 39.6% compared to $143,825 during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in Park revenue, as well as the additional expense related to the transaction processing fees paid to the new ticketing platform provider that were excluded in Year-to-Date 2025. On a pro forma basis, excluding the transaction processing fees paid to the new ticketing platform provider, consolidated other revenue driven costs were $143,612 for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $213 or 0.1% compared to $143,825 during Year-to-Date 2025. Other revenue driven costs during Year-to-Date 2026 included a $17,248 cost-plus fee adjustment credit received from our payment processor through our contractual relationship with our new ticketing platform provider. 32 Personnel costs Consolidated personnel costs were $2.20 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $146,790 or 7.1% compared to $2.05 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase in personnel costs at the Georgia Park and Missouri Park was primarily driven by additional education and zookeeper personnel compared to Year-to-Date 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 Year-to-Date 2026 compared to being open seven days a week for all but the last two weeks of Year-to-Date 2025. In addition, an internal graphic designer and event planner were hired during Fourth Quarter 2025 and a social media content and animal educator was hired later in Second Quarter 2026 for the benefit of all three parks. Advertising and marketing Consolidated advertising and marketing expenses were $670,838 for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $60,135 or 9.8% compared to $610,703 during Year-to-Date 2025. The Company switched its 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 Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Other segment expenses Consolidated other segment expenses were $1.43 million for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $46,847 or 3.2% compared to $1.48 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower insurance and outside services for all three parks, as well as lower park maintenance expenses, due to costs incurred one-time for the demolition of an unoccupied house on the Georgia Park grounds in Year-to-Date 2025. In addition, our Texas Park had lower operating expenses, primarily lower travel related costs, veterinary costs and animal expenses, primarily due to costs related to a limited-term animal insurance policy purchased for transportation of a giraffe compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Segment Income Our consolidated segment income was $2.33 million for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $334,853 or 16.8% from $1.99 million during Year-to-Date 2025. Our Georgia Park segment income was $1.46 million for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $10,581 or 0.7% from $1.47 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The increases in Park revenue more than offset the changes in significant other segment expenses, primarily higher personnel and benefit costs, higher advertising and marketing costs, higher animal expenses due to costs incurred to transport a giraffe from our Missouri Park, higher other revenue driven costs, due to the inclusion of the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, offset by lower park maintenance expense, primarily due to costs incurred one-time for the demolition of an unoccupied house on the Georgia Park grounds during First Quarter 2025, and lower insurance expense and compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Our Missouri Park segment income was $306,790 for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $132,463 or 76.0%, from segment income of $174,327 during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase in admission revenue and in-park guest spending, primarily on animal encounters, more than offset the changes in significant other segment expense, primarily higher personnel costs, advertising and marketing costs, vehicle expenses and other revenue driven costs, due to the inclusion of the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, offset by lower insurance expense compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Our Texas Park segment income was $561,576 for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $212,971 or 61.1%, from $348,605 during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase is attributed to increased admission revenue and in-park guest spending on animal encounters offset by changes in significant other segment expenses, primarily lower personnel costs, lower insurance and travel related costs offset by an increase in outside services, park maintenance and higher other revenue driven costs, due to the inclusion of the transaction processing fee paid to the new ticketing platform provider, compared to Year-to-Date 2025. In addition, Year-to-Date 2025 included higher animal expenses, primarily due to costs related to a limited-term animal insurance policy purchased for the transportation of a giraffe. 33 Corporate Expenses Corporate expenses were $685,802 for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $163,909 or 19.3% compared to $849,711 during Year-to-Date 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower professional fees, due to timing of accruals, lower insurance expense, director fee compensation expense and lower personnel costs compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense was $648,051 for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $11,568 or 1.8% from $659,619 during Year-to-Date 2025. The decrease was driven by lower depreciation expense for our Texas Park and Missouri Park due to assets becoming fully depreciated offset by higher depreciation expense at the Georgia Park related to the new restroom facility placed in service during Second Quarter 2025. Contested Proxy and Related Matters, net Contested proxy and related matters, net was none Year-to-Date 2026 compared to a credit of $670,814 during Year-to-Date 2025. The credit in Year-to-Date 2025 was from the receipt of $567,157 insurance proceeds in First Quarter 2025 from our directors and officers insurance policy associated with the contested proxy and related matters. The remaining credit of $103,657 was from the reversal of previously accrued contested proxy legal fees that were waived as part of the full settlement of outstanding invoices during Third Quarter 2025. 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) Expense, net Other operating income, net was $3,799 in Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $17,497 compared to other operating expense, net of $13,698 during Year-to-Date 2025. The increase was due to higher net gain on disposals of property and equipment during Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025. Year-to-Date 2025 includes the loss on animal exhibit design costs that were abandoned at our Georgia Park. Other (Income), net Other income, net was $59,331 for Year-to-Date 2026, an increase of $2,281 or 4.0% from $57,050 during Year-to-Date 2025. Interest Expense Interest expense was $139,903 for Year-to-Date 2026, a decrease of $26,245 or 15.8% from $166,148 during Year-to-Date 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in the Former 2025 Term Loan variable interest rate of approximately 75 basis points compared to Year-to-Date 2025 and a decrease in the 2021 Term Loan interest due to lower principal balances. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense for Year-to-Date 2026 of $182,077 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 19.8% compared to income tax expense of $263,129 for Year-to-Date 2025 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.5%. 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 on our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Net Income and Earnings Per Share As a result of the above factors, Net income was $0.74 million and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.98 in Year-to-Date 2026 compared with Net income of $0.77 million and basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.02 in Year-to-Date 2025. 34 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 and 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025. 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 (loss) per share: Unaudited For the 13 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Net income $ 742,756 $ 824,370 $ 736,240 $ 769,649 Contested proxy and related matters, net — (103,657 ) — (670,814 ) Tax impact (1) — 27,990 — 181,120 Adjusted net income $ 742,756 $ 748,703 $ 736,240 $ 279,955 Adjusted diluted net earnings per share $ 0.99 $ 0.99 $ 0.98 $ 0.37 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 750,001 754,862 751,900 756,467 (1) The tax impact of adjustments is calculated at the applicable U.S. Federal and State statutory rates. 35 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 and 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025. ● Net gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment – disposal of property and equipment for the 13 and 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025. 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 For the 13 weeks ended For the 39 weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Net income $ 742,756 $ 824,370 $ 736,240 $ 769,649 Income tax expense 187,862 260,229 182,077 263,129 Interest expense 45,292 53,970 139,903 166,148 Depreciation and amortization 220,799 230,756 648,051 659,619 Contested proxy and related matters, net — (103,657 ) — (670,814 ) (Gain) loss on disposal of property and equipment, net — — (3,799 ) 13,698 Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,196,709 $ 1,265,668 $ 1,702,472 $ 1,201,429 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. We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our capital requirements and operational needs for at least the next 12 months. Our working capital was $3.85 million as of June 28, 2026, compared to $3.28 million as of September 28, 2025. The increase in working capital primarily reflects a reduction in cash used for the payments of other current liabilities, primarily bonuses, accrued professional fees and property taxes, as well as cash used for capital expenditures and scheduled term loan payments. Total long-term debt, net, including current maturities, as of June 28, 2026 was $2.88 million compared to $3.19 million as of September 28, 2025. The decrease in total long-term debt, net is primarily the result of scheduled term loan principal payments paid during Year-to-Date 2026. As of June 28, 2026, we had stockholders’ equity of $15.80 million and total loan debt of $2.88 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.18 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. 36 Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $589,685 to $1.47 million during Year-to-Date 2026 from $0.88 million during Year-to-Date 2025. The change in net income and 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 offset by cash used Year-to-Date 2026 for reduction of other current liabilities, contributed to the increase. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities increased by $219,322 to $538,729 during Year-to-Date 2026 from $319,407 during Year-to-Date 2025. Our investing activity during Year-to-Date 2026 included cash used for capital spending of $545,626. Our investing activity during Year-to-Date 2025 included cash provided of $838,442 from the maturity of short-term investments in certificates of deposit and cash used for capital spending of $1.18 million. The $636,223 decrease in capital spending during Year-to-Date 2026 compared to Year-to-Date 2025 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 increased $101,370 to $466,481 during Year-to-Date 2026 from $365,111 during Year-to-Date 2025. Our financing activity during Year-to-Date 2026 was cash used for scheduled term loan principal payments of $299,596, payment of term loan debt modification fees of $14,896 and purchases of treasury stock of $151,989. During Year-to-Date 2025, the 2020 Term Loan was refinanced with the Former 2025 Term Loan during First Quarter 2025 resulting in net cash provided of $110,456 offset by payments of $273,683 for scheduled term loan principal payments and $60,716 for term loan refinancing fees as well as $141,168 for payments of fractional shares for Reverse Forward Stock Split. Borrowing Agreements On September 30, 2024, Aggieland-Parks, Inc. completed a refinancing transaction of the Former 2025 Term Loan with Cendera Bank, N.A. The Former 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, with interest at a daily adjusted rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.5%. The initial interest rate was 7.50%. As of June 16, 2026, the effective interest rate was 6.25%. The Former 2025 Term Loan had 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 was reduced with the decrease in the effective interest rate to $21,619 as of June 16, 2026. Aggieland-Parks, Inc., paid approximately $60,716 of fees and expenses in connection with the Former 2025 Term Loan. The Former 2025 Term Loan was 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, L.P., with Cendera Bank, N.A. Geoffrey Gannon and Andrew Kuhn control Focused Compounding Fund, L.P., and each serve 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). On June 17, 2026, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas, completed a refinancing transaction with Cendera Bank resulting in the amendment and restatement of the Term Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2024 between Aggieland-Parks, Inc. and Cendera Bank, N.A., predecessor to Cendera Bank (“Current 2025 Term Loan”). The Current 2025 Term Loan provided a principal balance of $2.33 million and will mature on June 1, 2033. The Current 2025 Term Loan has a term of seven years, with a 25-year amortization, and a balloon payment of the outstanding principal balance due on June 1, 2033. The monthly loan payment will be $16,561. The applicable interest rate of the Current 2025 Term Loan is based on an adjusted rate equal to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) 1-month term SOFR plus 2.70%. The CME 1-month term SOFR was 3.64% as of June 17, 2026, providing an initial interest rate of 6.34%. As of June 28, 2026, the CME 1-month term SOFR rate was 3.64%. Concurrently, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas entered into a Rate Conversion Agreement with third-party provider, SouthState Bank, N.A., doing business as ARC Fixed Rate Provider, with Cendera Bank acting as servicing agent. The Rate Conversion Agreement is coterminous with the Current 2025 Term Loan and effectively converts the variable adjusted rate interest payments into a fixed rate obligation, resulting in a fixed interest rate of 6.99% over the term of the loan. Aggieland-Parks, Inc. paid $14,896 in fees and expenses in connection with the Current 2025 Term Loan. The Rate Conversion Agreement, interest rate swap, is designated as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the derivative is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, and changes in fair value qualifying for cash-flow-hedge accounting are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), with amounts reclassified to interest expense when the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Current 2025 Term Loan is secured by substantially all the Aggieland-Parks, Inc.’s assets. Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, the Current 2025 Term Loan is guaranteed by the parent company, Parks! America, Inc. The Current 2025 Term Loan refinancing removes the requirement of the cash collateral reserve of $2.5 million established by Focused Compounding Fund, L.P. with Cendera Bank included in the original Term Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2024. The Guaranty Agreement and Amended and Restated Loan Agreement are subject to certain financial covenants including that, Parks! America, Inc., as guarantor, and Aggieland Parks, Inc., as borrower, independently maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Both the Guaranty Agreement and Amended and Restated Loan Agreement contain certain affirmative covenants, including, among other things, reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, federal or state income tax filings and such other reports. The outstanding balance of the Current 2025 Term Loan was $2.33 million and the Former 2025 Term Loan was $2.41 million as of June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2025, respectively.

(the “Registrant”) maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”) in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated thereunder, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant’s Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Registrant’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, the Registrant’s management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. With the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Registrant, the Registrant’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon the evaluation, the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Registrant’s fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. 38 PART II ITEM 1.
