OVERVIEW
Sadot Group Inc. is our parent company and is headquartered
in Burleson, Texas. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported zero commodity sales revenue compared to $132.2 million
in the prior-year period. This reflects the significant streamlining of our operations, including the closure of certain international
offices and the completion of the sale of our Sadot Food Services segment on December 4, 2025.
43
As of March 31, 2026, Sadot Group consisted of one
distinct operating unit and one discontinued operation.
● Sadot
LLC (“Sadot Agri-Foods”): Sadot Group’s operating unit was intended to
be a global Agri-Foods company engaged in farming, commodity trading and shipping of food
and feed (e.g., soybean meal, wheat and corn) via dry bulk cargo ships across the globe.
Sadot Agri-Foods competes with the ABCD commodity companies (ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Louis-Dreyfus)
as well as many regional organizations. Sadot Agri-Foods operates, through a majority owned
subsidiary, a roughly 5,000 acre farm in Zambia with a focus on major commodities such as
wheat, soy and corn alongside high-value tree crops such as avocado and mango. A default
judgment related to the farm was issued during the fourth quarter of 2025. While the company
has appealed this ruling, it has recognized an impairment of $11.8 million on the Zambia
farm to reflect the associated financial impact. In addition, the Company had a deposit on
farmland in Indonesia which was written off during the fourth quarter of 2025. Sadot Agri-Foods
was formed as part of the Company’s diversification strategy to own and operate, through
its subsidiaries, the business lines throughout the food supply chain. Our business involved
farming, commodity trading, and shipping of food and feed products, such as soybean meal,
wheat, and corn, via dry bulk cargo ships across global markets. We have recently encountered
substantial operational issues that have severely impacted our ability to conduct these activities
effectively. These challenges include, but are not limited to, disruptions in our supply
chain, such as delays in sourcing raw materials, logistical bottlenecks in shipping and transportation,
and inefficiencies in our farming operations due to difficult regulatory environments including
a legal system, adverse weather conditions, labor shortages, inefficient regulatory environments,
various court proceedings or equipment failures. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, trade
restrictions, fluctuating commodity prices, and increased competition in the agri-foods sector
have compounded these issues, leading to halted or suspended trading activities and an inability
to fulfill contracts or secure new ones. Between November 2022 and October 2025, Aggia LLC
FZ (“Aggia”) was providing consultancy in connection with the food supply chain
activities which were designed to become the most important focus of the Company. However,
as a result of disappointing performances in 2025, the Company decided to end the relationship
with Aggia. On November 20, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual
Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Aggia. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement,
the Company and Aggia agreed to terminate the Services Agreement dated as of November 14,
2022, as amended (collectively, the “Agreement Documents”), and to fully settle,
compromise, and discharge all claims, debts, obligations, and liabilities arising out of
or related to the Agreement Documents. The Company is assessing the potential business opportunities
surrounding supply chain, before making any decisions as to whether the Company wants to
engage a replacement to the services previously provided by Aggia.
● In
2025, the Company sold the assets relating to its U.S.-centric restaurant business. Sadot
Restaurant Group, LLC (“Sadot Food Services”) held three concepts, including
two fast casual restaurant concepts, Pokémoto and Muscle Maker Grill. During 2024,
the Company operated a subscription-based fresh prep meal concept, SuperFit Foods, which
was sold in August 2024. Throughout 2024 the remaining corporate owned restaurants were sold
and converted into franchise locations or closed. On December 4, 2025, the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pokemoto LLC, Poke Co Holdings, LLC, and Muscle Maker Development,
LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets related to the Pokemoto and Muscle Maker Grill franchise businesses (the “Business”)
to MARV Brands of America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and MARV Brands Inc.,
an Ontario business corporation (collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 4, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyers acquired the assets of the Business, including
franchise agreements, intellectual property (such as trademarks, recipes, operations manuals,
and brand standards), inventory, marketing funds, gift card balances, and other related assets,
for a total purchase price of $2,900,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase
Price consisted of: (i) a $100,000 earnest money deposit previously paid by the Buyers; (ii)
$2,600,000 paid at closing; and (iii) a $200,000 holdback amount (the “Holdback Amount”)
payable subject to certain conditions, including the delivery of specified missing franchise
and transfer agreements as outlined in a side letter agreement dated December 4, 2025 (the
“Side Letter”). The Holdback Amount is contingent upon the Sellers delivering
fully executed copies of various missing agreements on or before the holdback payment date.
The deadline for delivery has lapsed and the Company has not delivered all required agreements.
Accordingly, the $200,000 holdback receivable has been written off as of December 31, 2025.
In connection with the closing, the parties also executed a Trademark Assignment Agreement
dated December 4, 2025, pursuant to which the Company and Pokemoto LLC assigned all trademarks
related to the Business to MARV Brands Inc. The transaction closed on December 4, 2025, and
the Company received the closing payment in accordance with the wire instructions. The sale
allowed the Company to divest its franchise restaurant operations and further focus on its
agri-food operations. Please see Note 4 – Assets held for sale and Note 5 – Discontinued
operations for further details.

Key Financial Definitions
We review a number of financial and operating metrics,
including the following key metrics and non-GAAP measures, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting
our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Governmental and other economic factors affecting our operations
may vary.

Our key business and financial metrics are explained
in detail below.
Revenues
Our revenues have historically been derived from Commodity
sales. Revenues from commodity sales have declined substantially since Q2 2025. We generated no commodity sales revenue in the first quarter
of 2026 as we continue to evaluate and streamline our agri-food operations following the divestiture of our food services business and
the adverse judgment regarding our Zambia farm operations. The business has experienced significant trading difficulties around capital
to support new trades, disputes on settlement of existing trades and a number of legal disputes on historic trades. Following the financial
performance during the third quarter of 2025, management of the Company began evaluating alternative business lines to address this situation.
All options are being assessed. The management continues to focus on monetizing the current assets of Sadot Agri-Foods as efficiently
as possible. It should be highlighted that the risk of future impairments on current assets is a possibility going forward. Impairments
on assets of the Trading business cannot be excluded in the near future or in the long run.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes commodity costs, labor,
rent and other operating expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist
of the depreciation of property and equipment.
45
Stock-Based Expenses
Stock-based expenses include all expenses that are
paid with stock.
For the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $0.4
million and $1.4 million, respectively, are recorded as Stock-based expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations and Other Comprehensive (Loss) / Income.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general and administrative expenses include
expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support our operations, including wages, benefits, travel expense,
legal and professional fees, training, investor relations and other corporate costs. We incur incremental Sales, general and administrative
expenses as a result of being a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ capital market.
Other (Expense) / Income
Total Other (expense) / income listed below the Loss
from operations in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive (Loss) / Income
consists of Change in fair value of stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and Interest expense, net.
Loss on debt extinguishment
Loss on debt extinguishment consist of the loss related
to the exchange of stock for debt repayment, which is calculated using the variance between the agreed upon price per share of stock and
the fair value of the stock on the date of the exchange and the gain recognized due to writing off accounts payable that have passed the
statue of limitations and no longer deemed payable.
Income Tax Benefit / (Expense)
Income tax benefit / (expense) represent federal,
state and local current and deferred income tax expense.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling
Interests
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests
was nil and $0.1 million for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company
created a joint-venture in Zambia in which the Company has a 70% interest and the third-party equity ownership has a 30% Non-controlling
interest. As described above, following the December 11, 2025 judgment by the High Court for Zambia, the Company lost possession, control,
and ownership of the underlying farmland assets, which have been fully impaired. However, the Company retains a controlling interest in
the Zambian entity, and therefore continues to consolidate the entity. The Company is appealing the judgment.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. We
define EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest income / (expense), and income taxes. We believe that EBITDA
and EBITDA Margin, (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”) are useful metrics for investors to understand and evaluate our
operating results and ongoing profitability because they permit investors to evaluate our recurring profitability from our ongoing operating
activities.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, have certain limitations,
and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP.
We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of any of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to
similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate certain of the Non-GAAP Measures differently or not at all,
limiting their usefulness as direct comparative measures.

Our gross (loss) profit totaled nil for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.0 million profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $6.0 million decrease is primarily
attributed to a decrease in Commodity sales partially offset by a decrease in Cost of goods sold.
We generated Commodity sales of nil for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $132.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This represented a decrease of $132.2
million. This decrease is due to Sadot Agri Foods being unable to enter into additional trades because of lack of working capital.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March

result of the decrease in sales.

decrease was primarily attributable to lower personnel-related costs resulting from a reduced staff count, as well as reduced operating
and consulting expenses due to Sadot Agri-Foods being unable to enter into additional trades because of limited working capital availability.

for the three months ended March 31, 2026, totaled $2.3 million expense compared to $0.8 million expense for the three

on litigation of $0.1 million, loss on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million, all of which were not present in the prior year, partially
offset by a $0.3 million increase in Interest expense, net and $0.8 million decrease in change in fair value of stock-based compensation
due to termination of agreement with Aggia.
49
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had a working capital deficit
of $57.8 million (an increase of $3.0 million from $54.8 million at December 31, 2025) and cash of $0.68 million. Current liabilities
significantly exceed current assets, driven primarily by $49.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $11.1 million in notes
payable (net of discount).
Substantially all of our outstanding debt obligations
matured on December 31, 2025 and remain unpaid, placing us in default. These defaults, together with the working-capital deficit, raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
On May 5, 2026, we received a notice from Nasdaq indicating
that we no longer satisfy the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). We intend to submit
a compliance plan within the required 45-day period and are evaluating strategic options to regain compliance.
Working Capital
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including

Availability of Additional Funds
Our main financial objectives are to prudently manage
financial risk, ensure access to liquidity and minimize cost of capital in order to efficiently finance our business and maintain balance
sheet strength. We generally finance our ongoing operations with cash flows generated from operations, borrowings under various credit
facilities and term loans.
50
At March 31, 2026, current ratio, which equals Total
current assets divided by Total current liabilities, was 0.04, a decrease of 0.01, compared to current ratio of 0.05 at December 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, working capital (deficit), which equals Total current assets less Total current liabilities, was $(57.8) million, an
increase of $3.0 million, compared to working capital deficit of $(54.8) million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in current ratio and
working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, a decrease in net accounts receivable due to large allowances, partially
offset by a decrease in other current asset and an increase in other current liabilities.
While the Company maintains a base of current assets,
including inventories and receivables, the timing and certainty of converting these assets into cash has presented operational challenges
and led the business to increase borrowing to cover collection delays. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 the company increased
its net borrowing by $0.9 million.
The Company is currently experiencing delays in converting
receivables into cash, which has impacted the timing of available liquidity. Management continues to actively manage collections, review
credit facilities, and negotiate repayment arrangements with certain creditors to support liquidity requirements.
The Company is required to obtain additional financing—whether
through borrowings, private placements, public offerings, or strategic transactions such as mergers or asset sales. There can be no assurance
that such efforts will be successful. Failure to obtain adequate funding could require us to sell one or more business lines or assets,
enter into a business combination, or reduce or cease operations. Any such transactions, to the extent available, could result in significant
dilution to existing shareholders or the loss of their investment in our Company.
We will need to raise additional capital. Such additional
capital may not be available nor may the terms of such capital be generally acceptable. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities
could dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently
trade. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt
securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence
of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict
our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.
We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure to raise additional
funds on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
Management has performed a going concern assessment
covering a period of twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. While there is no assurance
that existing borrowings and the equity line of credit will provide sufficient funding to support operations for the full assessment period,
management believes it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going-concern basis. Management believes the actions
described above, if successfully executed, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet obligations as they become due. However, there can
be no assurance that such plans will be realized or that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms. Accordingly, substantial
doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements
are issued.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Helena Purchase Agreement Impact on Liquidity
The September 23, 2025 Helena Purchase Agreement provides
potential access to up to $10 million but carries material cash obligations: $100,000 liquidated damages per 30-day period if the $2 million
Threshold Amount is not met within six months of registration effectiveness, plus 2.0% monthly penalties for registration delays. These
cash payments, combined with the Company’s negative working capital ($(6,982) thousand as of December 31, 2025 and debt maturities,
increase liquidity pressure. The registration statement was initially filed but subsequently withdrawn. The original filing deadline was
October 8, with the Form S-1 ultimately filed on November 14 and an effectiveness deadline of December 23. As a result of not meeting
the required timelines, a penalty equal to 2% of the commitment amount was incurred, payable on the date of the triggering event and continuing
on a monthly basis thereafter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has accrued approximately $1.2 million related to these penalties, which
is included in accrued expenses.
51
Settlement Agreement Impact on Capital Resources
On November 20, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with Aggia LLC FZ that requires a cash payment of $75,000 and the issuance of 1,050,000 shares of common stock. The Company
has issued 257,000 shares to date, with the remaining 793,000 shares subject to shareholder approval under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). As of
December 31, 2025, the Company has accrued a liability for the remaining 793,000 shares within accrued expenses. The settlement also resulted
in the cancellation of outstanding promissory notes previously issued to Aggia. From a liquidity perspective, the settlement required
a modest cash outflow of $75,000, with no additional contractual cash obligations, and therefore does not represent a significant ongoing
use of cash resources. However, the settlement impacts capital resources by reducing outstanding debt obligations through the cancellation
of the promissory notes and increasing reliance on equity-based financing. The issuance of the remaining shares will result in dilution
to existing shareholders and may impact the Company’s ability to raise additional equity capital. Subsequent to March 31, 2026,
the Company received shareholder approval for the issuance of the remaining 793,000 shares, satisfying the approval requirement under
Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial
statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to apply estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates that involve a higher degree of judgment include, among others, the determination
of allowance on accounts receivable, assessment of impairment of assets, and provisions related to legal proceedings. Management evaluates
these estimates on an ongoing basis and updates them as circumstances evolve. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which
focuses on income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities, on an annual basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate
reconciliation, provide information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and certain information about income taxes
paid. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should
be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2025 did not have
a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income
Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”).
The standard is intended to enhance transparency of income statement disclosures, primarily through additional disaggregation of relevant
expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities can adopt the change prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented
in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07,
Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based
Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASC 2025-07”) which applies to all entities that enter into
non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The new
guidance excludes from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities
specific to one of the parties to the contract. ASU 2025-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026,
and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim
Reporting (Topic 270): Improvements to Interim Disclosure Requirements. The amendments are intended to enhance interim disclosures through
a more principles-based framework. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2026 and is currently evaluating the impact of this
guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification
Improvements, which includes various targeted amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification. The effective dates vary by amendment.
The Company has not adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2026 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
Seasonality
There is a degree of seasonality in the growing cycles,
procurement and transportation of crops. The farming industry historically experiences seasonal fluctuations in revenues and net income.
Typically, the Company has lower sales and net income during the non-harvest seasons and higher sales and net income during the harvest
season and as such, must have sufficient working capital to fund its operations at a reduced level. Failure to generate or obtain sufficient
working capital during the winter may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
