Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1- NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its wholly- owned subsidiaries, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) and U-Swirl, Inc. (SWRL), (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “RMCF”).

The Company is an international franchisor, confectionery producer and retail operator. Founded in 1981, the Company is headquartered in Durango, Colorado and produces an extensive line of premium chocolate candies and other confectionery products. The Company's revenues and profitability are derived principally from its franchised and licensed system of retail stores that feature chocolate and other confectionery products including gourmet caramel apples.

The Company’s revenues are currently derived from three principal sources: (i) sales to franchisees and others of chocolates and other confectionery products manufactured by the Company; (ii) the collection of initial franchise fees, marketing fees, and royalties from franchisees’ sales; (iii) retail sales at Company-owned stores of chocolates and other confectionery products.

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value based on current borrowing rates available to the Company.

The following table summarizes the number of stores operating under the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory brand at August 31, 2026:

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company’s management has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. During the six months ended August 31, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of$2.4 million and used cash in operating activities of$0.5 million. The Company was not in compliance with the loan covenants as of August 31, 2026 for both of its debt agreements (see Note 8). The Company has not received a waiver from its lenders as of the date of the quarterly report, but it is in compliance with all other aspects of its debt agreements. The debt has been classified as a current liability at August 31, 2026. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to continue to implement its business plan. The Company continues to explore supplemental liquidity resources (see Note 16). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to further reduce overhead costs, improve manufacturing efficiencies, and increase profits and gross margins by better aligning its costs with the delivery and sale to its franchise system and focus customers. In addition, the Company intends to benefit from its historically busy season of holiday product sales while also increasing sales through its e-commerce distribution channel on a year-round basis. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in implementing its business plan.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending February 28, 2027. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 29, 2026. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts, and reserve for inventory obsolescence. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation for Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied prospectively or retroactively. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The update clarifies the applicability, form and content requirements of interim financial reporting and establishes a disclosure principle requiring disclosure of events and changes occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Effective March 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets and elected the practical expedient available under the standard for qualifying current accounts receivable and contract assets. Theadoption of the standard didnot have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with its customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification® (“ASC”) 606, which provides that revenues are recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company generally receives a fee associated with the franchise agreement or license agreement (collectively “Customer Contracts”) at the time that the Customer Contract is entered. These Customer Contracts have a term of up to 20 years, however the majority of Customer Contracts have a term of 10 years. During the term of the Customer Contract, the Company is obligated to satisfy many performance obligations that the Company has determined are not distinct. The resulting treatment of revenue from Customer Contracts is that the revenue is recognized proportionately over the life of the Customer Contract.

Initial Franchise Fees, License Fees, Transfer Fees and Renewal Fees

The initial franchise services are not distinct from the continuing rights or services offered during the term of the franchise agreement and are treated as a single performance obligation. Initial franchise fees are being recognized as the Company satisfies the performance obligation over the term of the franchise agreement, which is generally 10 years.

The following table summarizes contract liabilities as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026

Gift Cards

The Company’s franchisees sell gift cards, which do not have expiration dates or non-usage fees. The proceeds from the sale of gift cards by the franchisees are accumulated by the Company and paid out to the franchisees upon customer redemption. ASC 606 requires the use of the “proportionate” method for recognizing breakage. The Company recognizes breakage from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or the Company determines the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (“gift card breakage”). The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. The Company didnot recognize any gift card breakage during thesix months ended August 31, 2026 or six months ended August 31, 2025.

Durango Product Sales of Confectionery Items, Retail Sales and Royalty and Marketing Fees

Durango Product Sales are those sold from the Company's factory in Durango, Colorado. Retail sales include products sold in the retail store locations. Confectionery items sold to the Company’s franchisees, others and its Company-owned stores’ sales are recognized at the time of the underlying sale, based on the terms of the sale and when ownership of the inventory is transferred, and are presented net of sales taxes and discounts. Royalties and marketing fees from franchised or licensed locations, which are based on a percent of sales, are recognized at the time the sales occur.

On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with RMC Credit Facility, LLC ("RMC"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company received an advance in the principal amount of $6.0 million, which advance is evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note"). The Note matures on September 30, 2027 (the "Maturity Date"), and interest accrues at a rate of 12%per annum and is payable monthly in arrears. All outstanding principal and interest will be due on the Maturity Date. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by the Company's Durango real estate property and the related inventory and property, plant and equipment located on that property, as well as the Company's accounts receivable and cash accounts. RMC is a special purpose investment entity affiliated with Steven L. Craig, one of the members of the Company’s board of directors.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal and interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, and a change of control of the Company, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, certain reporting obligations and certain limitations on liens, encumbrances, and indebtedness. The Credit Agreement also limits capital expenditures to $3.5 million per year and contains two financial covenants measured quarterly: a maximum ratio of total liabilities to total net worth and a minimum current ratio. The Company incurred $0.1 million of loan origination fees, included as a debt discount and reduction of the notes payable on the balance sheet. The unamortized debt discount is $22 thousand as of August 31, 2026.

On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement. RMC agreed to make an additional advance to the Company in the principal amount of $0.6 million. There was no change to other terms of the agreement. The additional advance of $.6 million was repaid on December 31, 2025.

The Company was not in compliance with the covenants as of August 31, 2026, providing for a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 2.0 to 1.0, which was computed as 8.96 to 1.0, and a minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.25 to 1.0, which was computed as .52 to 1.0. The Company has not received a waiver from RMC through the quarter ended August 31, 2026, but is in compliance with all other aspects of the debt agreement. The debt has been classified as a current liability at August 31, 2026.

On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “RMCF2 Credit Agreement”) with RMCF2 Credit LLC (“RMCF2”), a special purpose investment entity affiliated with Jeffrey R. Geygan, the Company’s former interim CEO and one of the members of the board of directors.

Pursuant to the RMCF2 Credit Agreement, RMCF2 agreed to make an advance to the Company in the principal amount of $1.2 million, which advance is evidenced by a promissory note (the “RMCF2 Note”). The RMCF2 Note matures on September 30, 2027, and interest accrues at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable monthly in arrears. All outstanding principal and interest will be due on the maturity date. The RMCF2 Credit Agreement is collateralized by the Company’s Durango real estate property and the related inventory and property, plant and equipment located on the property, as well as the Company’s account receivable and cash accounts. Of the $1.2 million advanced, $.6 million was repaid on December 31, 2025.

The RMCF2 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal and interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, and a change of control of the Company, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, certain reporting obligations and certain limitations on liens, encumbrances, and indebtedness. The RMCF2 Credit Agreement also limits capital expenditures to $3.5 million per year and contains two financial covenants measured quarterly: a maximum ratio of total liabilities to total net worth and a minimum current ratio.

The Company was not in compliance with the covenants as of August 31, 2026, providing for a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 2.0 to 1.0, which was computed as 8.96 to 1.0, and a minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.25 to 1.0, which was computed as .52 to 1.0. The Company has not received a waiver from RMCF2 through the quarter ended August 31, 2026, but is in compliance with all other aspects of the debt agreement. The debt has been classified as a current liability at August 31, 2026.

As of August 31, 2026, the Company had $6.0 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement and $0.6 million outstanding on the RMCF2 Credit Agreement. Interest on the outstanding amounts was paid through August 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement and the RMCF2 Credit Agreement were repaid subsequent to August 31, 2026 (see Note 16).

NOTE 9 – COMMON STOCK

Under the Company’s previous 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may authorize and grant stock awards to employees, non-employee directors and certain other eligible participants, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Effective June 2024, the Board authorized 600,000 new shares, along with 300,851 unused and available shares and 131,089 shares granted and outstanding from the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, to form the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan with a total of 1,031,940 shares. On August 3, 2026, the stockholders voted to add an additional 530,000 shares to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. As of August 31, 2026, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan has 899,785 shares unused and available for issuance.

The Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.2 millionof stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended August 31, 2026 compared with$0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended August 31, 2025, respectively. Compensation costs related to stock-based compensation are generally amortized over the vesting period of the stock awards.

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock unit transactions for common stock during thesix months ended August 31, 2026:

Six Months EndedAugust 31,
Outstanding non-vested restricted stock units at beginning of year:194,189
Granted297,996
Vested(164,016)
Cancelled/forfeited(102,287)
Outstanding non-vested restricted stock units as of August 31:225,882
Weighted average grant date fair value$1.92
Weighted average remaining vesting period (in years)1.10

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, the Company granted 297,996 restricted stock units to various executives and members of the board of directors with a grant-date fair value of $0.6 million. During the six months ended August 31, 2025, the Company granted 11,091 restricted stock unitstoa new member of the board of directors with a grant-date fair value of $17 thousand.

NOTE 10 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the settlement of restricted stock units. Restricted stock units become dilutive within the period granted and remain dilutive until the units vest and are issued as common stock.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include outstanding common shares issuable if their effect would be anti-dilutive. During the six months ended August 31, 2026,225,882 shares of common stock that were issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. During the six months ended August 31, 2025,146,895 shares of common stock that were issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11 – LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company conducts its retail operations in facilities leased under non-cancelable operating leases of up to ten years. Certain leases contain renewal options for between one and five additional years at increased monthly rentals. Some of the leases provide for contingent rentals based on sales in excess of predetermined base levels.

The Company also leases trucking equipment in support of its production operations. Expenses associated with trucking are included in cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company entered intotwo new leases during the six months ended August 31, 2026 for its Nashville, TN location for 10 years and Chino Hills, CA location for 29 months with total future lease liability of $0.6 million. The Company entered intotwo new leases during the six months ended August 31, 2025 for its Camarillo, CA location for 10 years and Miami, FL location for 18 months with total future lease liability of $0.6 million.

The Company accounts for payments related to lease liabilities on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the six months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, lease expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was$0.4 million and$0.2 million, respectively.

Thelease liability reflects the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the life of its leases. This includes known escalations and renewal option periods reasonably assured of being exercised. Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the sales performance of the location remains strong. Therefore, the right of use asset and the lease liability include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company and are not currently a future obligation. The Company has separated non-lease components from lease components in the recognition of the asset and liability except in instances where such costs were not practical to separate. To the extent that occupancy costs, such as site maintenance, are included in the asset and liability, the impact is immaterial. For franchised locations, the related occupancy costs including property taxes, insurance and site maintenance are generally required to be paid by the franchisees as part of the franchise arrangement. In addition, the Company is the lessee under non-store-related leases for trucking equipment and office space. For leases where the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The weighted average discount rate used for operating leases was 11.56% and 10.29% as of August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The total estimated future minimum lease payments are$2.9 million as of August 31, 2026.

As of August 31, 2026, maturities of lease liabilities for the Company’s operating leases were as follows (amounts in thousands):

FYE 28392
FYE 29358

Total$2,876
Less: Imputed interest(1,136)

The weighted average lease term was 8.6 years and 8.4 years at August 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively.

The Company did not have any leases categorized as finance leases as of August 31, 2026 or February 28, 2026.

The Company did not assume any pre-existing liabilities of the seller. The purchase price was $20 thousand plus the value of saleable inventory.

On July 15, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Laura Vavakin to purchase substantially all of the assets related to the operation of a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory franchise location at The Shoppes at Chino Hills, Chino Hills, California.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase contracts

The Company frequently enters into purchase contracts of between five andtwelve months for chocolate and certain nuts. These contracts permit the Company to purchase the specified commodity at a fixed price on an as-needed basis during the term of the contract. Because prices for these products may fluctuate, the Company may benefit if prices rise during the terms of these contracts, but it may be required to pay above market prices if prices fall and it is unable to renegotiate the terms of the contract. The Company has designated these contracts as normal under the normal purchase and sale exception under the accounting standards for derivatives. These contracts are not entered into for speculative purposes.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of August 31, 2026, the Company is involved in the early stages of a legal dispute regarding fulfillment of the agreement to sell franchise rights and intangible assets in connection with the sale of U-Swirl International, Inc., the Company’s former subsidiary that has since been dissolved. The Company does not expect this to have a material impact on the business or financial condition. A trial date has been set for October 2029. The Company is not party to any other legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

NOTE 14 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company classifies its business interests into three reportable segments: Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. Franchising, Manufacturing and Retail Stores. These categories, along with unallocated expenses, are the basis upon which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the interim chief executive officer, evaluates the Company’s performance. The CODM uses the segment information in the annual planning process and considers actual versus plan variances in evaluating the performance of the segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment operating profit or loss, which excludes unallocated corporate general and administrative costs and income tax expense or benefit. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic businesses that utilize common information systems and corporate administration. All inter-segment sales prices are market based. Each segment is managed separately because of the differences in required infrastructure and the differences in products and services.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes pursuant to the liability method. The liability method requires recognition of deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, using current enacted income tax rates and regulations. These differences will result in taxable income or deductions in future years when the reported amount of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, respectively. Considerable judgment is required in determining when these events may occur and whether recovery of an asset, including the utilization of a net operating loss or other carryforward prior to its expiration, is more likely than not.

Realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income, in the appropriate tax jurisdictions, in future years, to obtain benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are changed. A valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is established when it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the tax benefit of our deferred income tax assets. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, whether it is more likely than not that its deferred income tax assets are realizable based upon recent past financial performance, tax reporting positions, and expectations of future taxable income. The determination of deferred tax assets is subject to estimates and assumptions. The Company periodically evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if its assumptions and estimates should change.

The Company does not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Amounts are recognized for income tax related interest and penalties as a component of general and administrative expense in the statement of income.
