NOTE
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation : The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 29, 2024
filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 13, 2024.
Principles
of Consolidation : The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries (Wild Animal – Georgia, Wild Animal – Missouri and Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas). All material
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
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 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and
accompanying notes, including, but not limited to, shares issued and outstanding, dollar amounts of common stock, capital in excess
of par, 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.
Estimates
and Assumptions : 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.
Fiscal
Year End : The Company’s fiscal year end is the Sunday closest to September 30. For the 2025 fiscal year, September 28 will
be the closest Sunday, and for the 2024 fiscal year, September 29 was the closest Sunday both with 52 weeks. This fiscal calendar aligns
the Company’s fiscal periods closely with the seasonality of its business. The high season typically ends after the Labor Day holiday
weekend. 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.
Financial
and Concentrations Risk : The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risks. The Company maintains
its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.

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 disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include our long-term debt. As of June 29, 2025 and September 29, 2024,
the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $ 3.30 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, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
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. The Company
maintains cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts which may at times exceed federally insured limits. As of June 29, 2025 and September
29, 2024, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit and a money market account.
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 13 weeks are carried at
amortized cost and reported as short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 29, 2025 the Company did no t have
any short-term investments. As of September 29, 2024, the Company had $ 835,074 in two certificates of deposit, including accrued interest,
classified as short-term investments. These certificates of deposit secured lines of credit, as detailed in Note 5, Lines of Credit, to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Accounts
Receivable : The Company’s parks are principally a payment upfront business; therefore, the Company generally carries limited
accounts receivable. The Company had $ 29,214 , $ 63,784 and $ 36,172 of accounts receivable as of June 29, 2025, September 29, 2024 and
October 1, 2023, 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 gross profit method is used to determine the change
in gift shop inventory for interim periods. Inventories are reviewed and reconciled annually because inventory levels turn over rapidly.
The Company had inventory of $ 338,408 and $ 372,401 as of June 29, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.
Prepaid
Expenses : The Company prepays certain expenses primarily due to legal or contractual requirements. Prepaid expenses
consisted of the following:

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue
Recognition : The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Under ASC
606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration
that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the
Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to
in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
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 passes and memberships is deferred and recognized
as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the pass or membership. Park admission fee revenue from advance online ticket purchases
is deferred until the customers’ visit to the parks. Advance online tickets can generally be used anytime during the one-year period
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. Sales taxes billed and collected are not included in revenue.
Deferred
revenue, consisting of advance online admission tickets, season passes and memberships, was $ 151,569 , $ 115,950 and $ 143,511 as of June
29, 2025, September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, which is included within Other current liabilities in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The
Company periodically sells surplus animals created from the natural breeding process that occurs within the parks. Animal sales are reported
as a separate revenue line item. 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.
The
Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on geography in Note 9, 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.
Advertising
and Marketing Costs : The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing
expense for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $ 256,633
and $ 282,933 ,
respectively, and for the 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $ 623,156
and $ 737,873 ,
respectively, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement 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 awards shares to its Board of Directors for service on the Board. The shares issued to
the Board are “restricted” and are 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 stock-based
compensation expense based on the fair market value at the time of the grant. The Company typically awards its annual Director compensation
around the end of each calendar year. Stock-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $ 0
and $ ( 18,336 ) , respectively, and the 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively, which is included in
Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The credit for the 13 weeks ended
June 30, 2024 was the reversal of expense recognized due to forfeiture of stock options.
A
Stock Option and Award Plan (the “Plan”) providing for incentive stock options and performance bonus awards for executives,
employees, and directors was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 1, 2005, however, the Plan has not been submitted
to the stockholders for approval. The Plan sets aside five million ( 5,000,000 ) shares for the award of stock options, including qualified
incentive stock options and performance stock bonuses. To date, no grants or awards have been made pursuant to the Plan and the Company
did not submit the Plan for consideration to the Company’s stockholders at its last meeting of stockholders.
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 , to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report
for additional information. As of June 29, 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 is
the Company’s President.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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 29, 2025
or September 29, 2024.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Common Share : The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss)
attributable to the Company. The denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share is based upon the number of weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share is based
upon the number of weighted average shares of the Company’s common shares and common shares equivalent outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance
with ASC 260, Earnings per Share .
Dividend
Policy : The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted :
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures .
This ASU requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker that
are included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, and requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic
280 to be included in interim periods. ASU No. 2023-07 is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on the Company’s consolidated
financial statement disclosures.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes
requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling
items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income
rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit)
and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial
statement disclosures.
In
March 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU
2024-02”), which is intended to simplify the Codification and draw a distinction between authoritative and non-authoritative literature.
ASU 2024-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied
on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-02 on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). Under ASU 2024-03, a public entity would
be required to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization,
and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. 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.

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
March 1, 2024, Focused Compounding filed a Complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County against the Company and each

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.

Company engaged legal counsel specializing in activist stockholder matters, as well as several other consultants, during this proxy
contest. During the fiscal year ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred $ 2,040,810 of
contested proxy and related matter expenses, net. The Company received $ 567,157 of
insurance proceeds under its directors and officers insurance related to this matter during the 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025. These
proceeds were used to pay certain legal bills associated with the contested proxy and related matters. As of June 29, 2025, total accounts payable include approximately $ 6,500
of unpaid bills associated with the contested proxy and related matters.

NOTE
6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common
Stock
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.
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.

Overview
Through
our wholly owned subsidiaries, we own and operate three regional safari parks and are in the business of acquiring, developing and operating
local and regional entertainment assets in the United States. Our wholly owned subsidiaries are Wild Animal Safari, Inc., a Georgia corporation
(“Wild Animal – Georgia”), Wild Animal, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Wild Animal – Missouri”),
and Aggieland-Parks, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Aggieland Wild Animal – Texas”). Wild Animal – Georgia owns
and operates the Wild Animal Safari Pine Mountain located in Pine Mountain, Georgia (the “Georgia Park”). Wild Animal –
Missouri owns and operates the Wild Animal Safari Springfield located in Strafford, Missouri (the “Missouri Park”). Aggieland
Wild Animal – Texas owns and operates the Aggieland Safari located near Bryan/College Station, Texas (the “Texas Park”).
Our
parks are open year-round and experience increased seasonal attendance, typically beginning in the latter half of March through
early September. Combined third and fourth quarter Park revenue was 61.4% and 60.4% of annual Park revenue for
Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, 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.
During Fiscal 2024, we incurred $2,040,810 of contested proxy and related matter expenses, net. 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. As of June 29, 2025, total accounts payable include approximately $6,500 of
unpaid 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.
17
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 OTCPink 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).

Discussion
and Analysis
Consolidated
and Segment Results of Operations for Third Quarter 2025 as Compared to Third Quarter 2024
We
manage our operations on an individual park location basis. Discrete financial information is maintained for each park and provided to
our President, as Chief Operating Decision Maker (“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
mid-January 2024 we completed the strategic switch to a new ticketing platform which we believe improves the guest experience while
also providing improved functionality for our park customer services teams. While this change had a net neutral impact on our
profitability, we no longer directly upcharge customer transaction fees which we previously reported in Park revenue. Total Park
revenue during Third Quarter 2025 and Third Quarter 2024 excluded customer transaction fees, therefore we did not present pro-forma Park
revenue for Third Quarter 2024 compared to Third Quarter 2025. We did present pro-forma Park revenue, excluding customer transaction
fees, for Year-to-Date 2024 in comparison to Year-to-Date 2025.

Results
of Operations
Third
Quarter 2025 compared with Third Quarter 2024
Total
Revenue and Park Revenue
Total
revenue was $3.48 million in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $27,176 or 0.8%, compared to $3.45 million in Third Quarter 2024.
Park
revenue was $3.40 million in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $40,935 or 1.2%, compared to $3.36 million in Third Quarter 2024.
Animal
sales were $78,262 in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $13,759 or 15.0%, compared to $92,021 in Third Quarter 2024. The decrease is
driven by the timing of animal sales at our Georgia Park year over year.
Georgia
Park revenue was $1.98 million in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $186,154 or 8.6% compared to $2.17 million in Third Quarter
2024. During Third Quarter 2025, two weeks of the seasonal Spring Break period shifted into Third Quarter
2025 compared to one week during Third Quarter 2024 resulting in a shift of Park revenue into Third Quarter 2025 of
approximately $94,000. This increase early in Third Quarter 2025 was not sustained due to rainy
weather conditions over consecutive days and weeks that negatively impacted attendance. The lower attendance also negatively
impacted animal food sales, food service and vehicle rental revenue.
Missouri Park revenue was $656,191
in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $11,906 or 1.8% compared to $668,097 in Third Quarter 2024. The decrease in Park revenue was
primarily attributed to a decrease in food service revenue due to a decision by management to no longer offer full food service at
the park as offered in Third Quarter 2024. As an alternative, beginning late in Second Quarter 2025 during Spring Break, customers were offered full food service at the park through independently owned food trucks. In addition,
animal food sales decreased due to rainy weather conditions over consecutive days and weeks.
19
Texas
Park revenue was $761,047 in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $238,995
or 45.8% compared to $522,052 in Third Quarter 2024. The increase in Park revenue was primarily driven by a positive response to the new
admission pass pricing and effectiveness of new marketing strategies. Starting in mid-June, management made the decision to close the
park to the public on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the summer months, which did not have an immediate negative impact on Park revenue.
Attendance
Georgia
Park attendance decreased approximately 16.2% during Third Quarter 2025 compared to Third Quarter 2024. During Third Quarter 2025, the
strongest attendance days during the seasonal Spring Break dates shifted into Third Quarter 2025 and increased attendance by approximately
2,200 customers but this increase was not sustained as the Georgia Park experienced rainy weather conditions over consecutive days and
weeks that negatively impacted attendance.
Missouri
Park attendance increased by approximately 6.8% during Third Quarter 2025 compared to Third Quarter 2024 primarily driven by an
increase in field trip and group attendance.
Texas
Park attendance increased by approximately 44.0% in Third Quarter 2025 compared to Third Quarter 2024 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 offers
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.
Segment
Income
Consolidated
segment income was $1.54 million in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $36,620 or 2.4%, from $1.50 million in Third Quarter 2024.
Georgia
Park segment income was $0.99 million in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $183,860 from $1.17 million in Third Quarter 2024. The decrease
is primarily driven by decreased Park revenue, lower animal sales, higher staffing costs offset by lower advertising costs, outside services
and transaction processing costs compared to Third Quarter 2024.
Missouri
Park segment income was $216,749 in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $5,965 from $222,714 in Third Quarter 2024. The decrease is primarily
driven by a decrease in food service margin, lower animal sales and higher staffing costs offset by lower advertising expense compared to
Third Quarter 2024.
Texas
Park segment income was $333,531 in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $226,445 from $107,086 in Third Quarter 2024. The increase is
primarily driven by an increase in Park revenue offset by higher operating expenses, primarily advertising, staffing costs and transaction
processing fees compared to Third Quarter 2024.
Corporate
Expenses
Corporate
expenses were $277,876 in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $123,206 from $401,082 in Third Quarter 2024 primarily driven by higher
professional fees, due to timing of accruals, offset by lower salaries and wages due to severance costs in Third Quarter 2024.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $230,756 in Third Quarter 2025, compared to $230,852 in Third Quarter 2024.

Contested
Proxy and Related Matters
Contested
Proxy and Related Matters, net was a credit of $103,657 in Third Quarter 2025 compared to expense of $746,570 in Third
Quarter 2024. 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. During Third Quarter 2024, we recorded
contested proxy and related matters, net expense. See Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matter, to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Tornado
Expenses and Write-offs, Net
As
a result of the tornado and severe weather damage at our Georgia Park in March 2023, during Third Quarter 2024, we received final insurance proceeds of $53,755 related to the Georgia Park 2023 tornado event.
Legal
Settlement
During
Third Quarter 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and paid $75,000 to settle a lawsuit initiated by a former employee alleging
several instances of discrimination in employment. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies , to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Other
operating expenses, net
Other
operating expenses, net was $13,750 in Third Quarter 2025 compared to $0 in Third Quarter 2024. Third Quarter 2025 includes the loss
on animal exhibit design costs that were abandoned at the Georgia Park.
Other
Income, net
Other
income, net was $18,345 in Third Quarter 2025, a decrease of $13,067 from $31,412 in Third Quarter 2024. The decrease is driven by lower
interest income, related to the maturity of certificates of deposit during First Quarter 2025, and lower average money market balances
compared to Third Quarter 2024.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $53,970 in Third Quarter 2025, an increase of $7,047 from $46,923 in Third Quarter 2024. The increase is driven by a higher
interest rate on the 2025 Term Loan refinanced during First Quarter 2025 offset by a decrease in the 2021 Term Loan interest due to lower principal balances.
Income
Taxes
We recorded income tax expense for Third Quarter 2025 of $260,229 which
resulted in an effective tax rate of 24.0% compared to income tax expense of $19,200 for Third Quarter 2024 which resulted in an effective
tax rate of 22.1%. 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 2025 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.
Net
Income
As
a result of the above factors, Net income was $824,380 or $1.09 per basic and diluted share in Third Quarter 2025 compared
to Net income of $67,870 or $.09 per basic and diluted share in Third Quarter 2024.

Year-to-Date
2025 compared with Year-to-Date 2024
Total
Revenue and Park Revenue
Total
revenue was $7.25 million for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $56,170 or 0.8%, compared to $7.30 million during Year-to-Date 2024.
Park
revenue was $7.10 million for Year-to-Date 2025, an increase of $5,836 or 0.1%, compared to $7.09 million during Year-to-Date 2024.
Animal
sales were $152,366 for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $62,006 compared to $214,372 during Year-to-Date 2024 primarily driven by the
timing of animal sales at our Texas Park year over year.
In
mid-January 2024 we completed the strategic switch to a new ticketing platform which we believe improves the guest experience while also
providing improved functionality for our park customer services teams. While this change had a net neutral impact on our profitability,
we no longer directly upcharge customer transaction fees which we previously reported in Park revenue. On a pro forma basis, adjusting
for the change to exclude customer transaction fees in Park revenue, our total Park revenue Year-to-date 2025 increased by $58,716 or
0.8% compared to Year-to-Date 2024.
Georgia
Park revenue was $4.10 million for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $316,743 or 7.2% compared to $4.42 million during Year-to-Date
2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower attendance due to adverse and rainy weather conditions
during consecutive days and weeks. In addition, Year-to-Date 2025
excluded customer transaction fees in revenue due to the switch to a new ticketing platform. On a pro forma basis, adjusting to
exclude customer transaction fees in Park revenue, Year-to-Date 2025 our Georgia Park revenue decreased by $280,279 or
6.4%.
Missouri
Park revenue was $1.29 million for both Year-to-Date 2025 and Year-to-Date 2024. On a pro forma basis, adjusting to exclude customer
transaction fees in Park revenue, Year-to-Date 2025 the Missouri Park revenue increased by $7,671 or 0.6%.
Texas
Park revenue was $1.70 million for Year-to-Date 2025, an increase of $322,680 or 23.4% compared to $1.38 million during Year-to-Date
2024. The increase in revenue was driven by higher attendance during the Spring Break season and positive response to new admission
pass pricing in early May 2025 and effectiveness of new marketing strategies. On a pro forma basis, adjusting to exclude customer
transaction fees in Park revenue, Year-to-Date 2025 our Texas Park revenue increased $331,323 or 24.2%.
Attendance
Georgia
Park attendance during Year-to-Date 2025 decreased approximately 14.5% compared to Year-to-Date 2024. The adverse and rainy weather over
consecutive days and weeks negatively impacted our attendance during our strongest attendance season.
Missouri
Park attendance during Year-to-Date 2025 increased by approximately 2.6% compared to Year-to-Date 2024. The increase was primarily attributed
to an increase in field trip and group attendance during Third Quarter 2025.
Texas
Park provided customers with free attendance promotions during First Quarter 2025 and we do not believe Year-to-Date 2025 attendance
is comparable to Year-to-Date 2024.
Segment
Income
Consolidated segment income was $1.99 million for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $1,049 from $1.99 million during Year-to-Date
2024.
Georgia
Park segment income was $1.47 million for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $252,860 from $1.72 million during Year-to-Date 2024. The
decrease is primarily driven by lower Park revenue and animal sales, higher staffing costs offset by lower operating expenses, primarily
advertising, transaction processing fees and outside services.
Missouri
Park segment income was $174,327 for Year-to-Date 2025, an increase of $7,441 from segment income of $166,886 during Year-to-Date 2024.
The increase in segment income was driven by lower cost of sales, primarily animal food, lower operating expenses, primarily advertising,
vehicle expenses and transaction processing fees offset by higher staffing costs.
Texas
Park segment income was $348,605 for Year-to-Date 2024, an increase of $246,468 from segment income of $102,137 during Year-to-Date
2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in Park revenue, lower cost of sales, primarily animal food, lower operating
expenses, primarily advertising, park maintenance and outside services, offset by higher staffing costs and higher animal expenses
primarily due to an animal insurance policy purchased for a limited policy period for the transportation of a giraffe.
22
Corporate
Expenses
Corporate
expenses were $849,710 for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $61,780 compared to $911,490 during Year-to-Date 2024. The decrease was
driven by higher professional fees, due to timing of accruals, offset by lower salaries and wages due to severance costs in
Year-to-Date 2024, as well as lower director fees and travel expenses.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $659,619 for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $13,029 from $672,648 during Year-to-Date 2024. The decrease
was driven by lower depreciation expense for our Texas Park and Missouri Park due to assets becoming fully depreciated and asset disposals
in Fiscal 2024 offset slightly by higher depreciation expense for our Georgia Park for assets placed in service during Fiscal 2025.
Contested
Proxy and Related Matters, net
Contested
Proxy and Related Matters, net was a credit of $670,814 for Year-to-Date 2025 primarily from the receipt of insurance proceeds
from our directors and officers insurance policy associated with the contested proxy and related matters in the amount of $567,157
during First Quarter 2025. 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. Year-to-date 2024, we recorded
contested proxy and related matters, net expense of $2.04 million. See Note 3, Contested Proxy and Related Matters, to the
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Tornado
Expenses and Write-offs, Net
As
a result of the tornado and severe weather damage at our Georgia Park in March, 2023, during Third Quarter 2024 we received the final insurance proceeds of $53,755 related to the Georgia Park 2023 tornado event.
Legal
Settlement
During
Third Quarter 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and paid $75,000 to settle a lawsuit initiated by a former employee alleging
several instances of discrimination in employment. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies , to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Other
operating expenses, net
Other
operating expenses, net was $13,698 for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $22,056 from $35,754 during Year-to-Date 2024.
Year-to-Date 2025 includes the loss on animal exhibit design costs that were abandoned at our Georgia Park. Year-to-Date 2024 primarily
includes animal deaths prior to the end of their estimated life expectancy and disposal of certain assets no longer useful to the business
or deemed too costly to maintain or repair.
Other
Income, net
Other
income, net was $57,050 for Year-to-Date 2025, a decrease of $44,275 from $101,325 during Year-to-Date 2024. The decrease is driven by
lower interest income related to the maturity of certificates of deposit during First Quarter 2025 and lower average money market balances
compared to Year-to-Date 2024 and higher non-operating expenses.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $166,148 for Year-to-Date 2025, an increase of $18,633 from $147,515 in Year-to-Date 2024. The increase is driven by a
higher interest rate on the 2025 Term Loan refinanced during First Quarter 2025 offset by a decrease in the 2021 Term Loan interest
due to lower principal balances.
Income
Taxes
We recorded income tax expense for Year-to-Date 2025 of $263,129 which
resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.5% compared to an income tax benefit of $430,400 for Year-to-Date 2024 which resulted in an effective
tax rate of 24.8%. The overall effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to Georgia state
taxes.
Net
Income (Loss)
As
a result of the above factors, Net income was $0.77 million or $1.02 per basic and diluted share for Year-to-Date 2025
compared to Net loss of $1.3 million or $1.72 per basic and diluted share for Year-to-Date 2024.
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 – expenses incurred related to the contested proxy, as well as related directors and officers insurance
proceeds for the 13 and 39 weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 .
●
Tornado
expenses and write-offs, net – final insurance proceeds received for tornado recovery expenses for the 13 and 39 weeks ended
June 30, 2024.
●
Legal
settlement – charge for payment of legal settlement for the 13 and 39 weeks ended June 30, 2024.

Refer to Note 6, Stockholders Equity for further information about the Reverse/Forward Stock Split.
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

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 $2.23 million as of June 29, 2025, compared to $1.60 million as of September 29, 2024. The increase 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 June 29, 2025 was $3.28 million compared to $3.50 million as of September 29, 2024.
The decrease in total long-term debt is primarily the result of scheduled term loan principal payments paid during Year-to-Date 2025.
As
of June 29, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of $14.59 million and total loan debt of $3.28 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity
ratio of 0.22 to 1.0, compared to stockholders’ equity of $13.95 million and total loan debt of $3.50 million resulting in a debt-to-equity
ratio of 0.25 to 1.0 as of September 29, 2024.

Operating
Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $882,885 during Year-to-Date 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$63,742 during Year-to-Date 2024. The $946,627 increase in cash provided by operating was attributed to the $2.07 million increase
in net income and changes in cash working capital including non-cash change in deferred taxes and year over year change in prepaid
assets related to the federal income tax refund received during Second Quarter 2025 offset by the decrease in accounts payable for
payments and settlement of accounts payable 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.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities was $319,407 during Year-to-Date 2025, compared to $1.43 million during Year-to-Date 2024 resulting
in a net decrease of $1,107,551. Our investing activity Year-to-Date 2025 included cash provided of $838,442 from the maturity of short-term
investments in certificates of deposit during First Quarter 2025. Our investing activity for Year-to-Date 2024 included cash used of
$1.0 million for the purchase of short-term investments in certificates of deposit during First Quarter 2024. Our capital spending for
Year-to-Date 2025 was $1.18 million compared to $0.67 million during Year-to-Date 2024. The increase in capital spending is attributed
to capital improvements, primarily construction of a new restroom facility and animal exhibit improvements, at our Georgia Park.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used in financing activities was $365,111 during Year-to-Date 2025, compared to $581,603 during Year-to-Date 2024 resulting in a
decrease of $216,492. During Year-to-Date 2025, the 2020 Term Loan was refinanced with the 2025 Term Loan during First Quarter 2025 resulting
in net cash provided of $110,456 offset by payments of $334,399 for scheduled term loan principal payments and term loan refinancing
fees. Year-to-Date 2025 also includes cash used during Third Quarter 2025 of $141,168 for the payments of the fractional shares
as part of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split. Year-to-Date 2024 primarily included payments of $576,603
for scheduled term loan principal payments.
Borrowing
Agreements
On
September 30, 2024, Aggieland-Parks, Inc. completed a refinancing transaction (the “2025 Refinancing”) with Cendera Bank
N.A. (“Cendera”). The 2025 Refinancing included a term loan in the original principal amount of $2.5 million (the “2025
Term Loan). The 2025 Term Loan bears interest at a daily adjusted rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.5%. As of June 29, 2025 the effective
interest rate was at 7.0%. 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 is $23,200. Aggieland-Parks, Inc., paid approximately $60,716
of fees and expenses in connection with the 2025 Term Loan. 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. Geoffrey Gannon
and Andrew Kuhn control Focused Compounding Fund, LP, and each serve on the Board of the Company, and Mr. Gannon is 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) included in this Quarterly
Report for additional information.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Parks!
America, Inc. (the “Registrant”) maintains “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(e) promulgated
under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Registrant’s fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2025 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
are not a party to any pending legal proceedings, nor are any of our properties the subject of a pending legal proceeding that is not

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should read the MD&A together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes, each included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report, in conjunction with the Parks! America, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29,
2024 filed with the SEC on December 13, 2024. Some of the information contained in the MD&A or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties.
Except
as noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended September 29, 2024 filed with the SEC on December 13, 2024.
Our
Rights Plan expired pursuant to its terms.
On
January 19, 2024, we adopted a 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, and
has not been reinstated or replaced; however, the Board may, subject to its fiduciary duties under applicable law, choose to implement
a similar plan in the future.
The
ultimate effect of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty.
At
the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on March 7, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the filings of the Certificates
of Amendment to effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split. On April 1, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the execution of the Reverse/Forward
Stock Split. The Reverse/Forward Stock became effective on April 30, 2025.
The
ultimate effect of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and
we cannot assure you that the Reverse/Forward Stock Split will result in any or all of the expected benefits. While the reduction in
the number of outstanding shares of our common stock increased the market price of our common stock we cannot assure you that the Reverse/Forward
Stock Split will result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common
stock depends on multiple factors, many of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our business and financial
performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success, any of which could have a counteracting effect to the Reverse/Forward
Stock Split on the per share price.
The
Reverse/Forward Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock.
Although
our Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse/Forward
Stock Split and the subsequent increase in the market price of our Common Stock could encourage interest in our Common Stock and possibly
promote greater liquidity for our stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding
after the Reverse/Forward Stock Split. The liquidity of our Common Stock may ultimately be harmed by the Reverse/Forward Stock Split
given the reduced number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, particularly if the stock price
does not continue to increase.
