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 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.

***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 March 30, 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 March 30, 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 March 30, 2025 the Company didnot 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, of the Notes 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 $33,311, $63,784 and $36,172 of accounts receivable as of March 30, 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 $404,337 and $372,401 as of March 30, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

***Prepaid Expenses:***The Company prepays certain expenses primarily due to legal or contractual requirements. The following is a breakdown of prepaid expenses:

***Intangible Assets:***Intangible assets consist primarily of a site master plan, website domains and tradename registrations, which are reported at cost and are being amortized over a period ofthree toten years. Amortization expense for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $3,003 and $3,003, respectively, and for the 26 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $6,006 and $6,006, respectively.

***Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:***The Company reviews its major assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an asset is considered impaired, then impairment will be recognized in an amount determined by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.

***Other Current Liabilities:***The following is a breakdown of other current liabilities:

March 30, 2025September 29, 2024
Deferred revenue$129,037$115,950
Accrued compensation119,712145,726

Accrued interest15,5632,382
Other accrued liabilities36,63125,981
Other current liabilities$505,307$466,155

***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 $129,037, $115,950 and $143,511 as of March 30, 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 March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $227,605 and $213,114, respectively and 26 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $366,523 and $454,940, 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 March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0 and $9,168, respectively, and 26 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0 and $18,337, respectively, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited).

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, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for additional information. As of March 30, 2025, Focused Compounding owned 41.36% 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.

***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 hasno 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 March 30, 2025 or September 29, 2024.

***Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share:***Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise any common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the applicable weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period.

***Dividend Policy:***The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

NOTE 3. CONTESTED PROXY AND RELATED MATTERS

On December 22, 2023, Focused Compounding Fund, LP (together with the participants in its solicitation, “Focused Compounding”) submitted documents to the Company providing notice as to a demand that the Company hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The Special Meeting was held for the purpose of asking stockholders to consider and vote upon five proposals, including a proposal for the removal of all directors currently serving on the Board of Directors and a proposal for the election of a new Board of Directors comprised entirely of Focused Compounding’s slate of three candidates. The Special Meeting was held on February 26, 2024 and Focused Compounding’s proposal to reconstitute the Board of Directors received the votes of a majority of shareholders who voted, but not a sufficient majority for approval under Nevada law, so it did not pass.

On January 19, 2024 following Focused Compounding’s submission to the Company, the Company adopted a rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which provided, among other things, that if specified events occurred, the Company’s stockholders would be entitled to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 18, 2025, the Rights Plan expired pursuant to its terms.

On March 1, 2024, Focused Compounding filed a Complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County against the Company and each of the members of its Board of Directors, alleging that the defendants were contemplating efforts to entrench themselves as members of the Board.

On June 6, 2024 the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The purpose of the 2024 Annual Meeting was for the Company’s stockholders to elect seven nominees to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), as well as consider additional proposals. The Company and Focused Compounding each submitted proxies soliciting the Company’s stockholders to vote for their respective proposed director nominees. The nominees for director included six nominees proposed by the Company and four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders elected four nominees proposed by Focused Compounding and three nominees proposed by the Company.

On June 14, 2024, the Company announced that Lisa Brady stepped down as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Board had appointed Geoffrey Gannon as the Company’s President. Mr. Gannon is also the Portfolio Manager at Focused Compounding.

The Company engaged legal counsel specializing in activist stockholder matters, as well as several other consultants, during this proxy contest. During the fiscal year ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred $2,090,810 of expenses associated with this contested proxy and related matters, partially offset by $50,000 of insurance proceeds. During the 13 weeks ending March 30, 2025, the Company received approximately $567,100 of insurance proceeds under its directors and officers insurance related to this matter, which were used to pay certain bills associated with the contested proxy and related matters. As of March 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $360,500 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 Amended and Restated 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 Incorporate 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 is to reduce excessive administrative costs associated with having a disproportionately large number of stockholders who own relatively few shares.

The Company did not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse/Forward Stock Split. Instead, the Company will pay 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 hold fewer than 500 shares immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split shall be 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 shall be 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 share outstanding amounts and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split that became effective on April 30, 2025. See Note 10,*Subsequent Events,*of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report for further information about the Reverse/Forward stock split.

Seven directors were awarded $10,000 each and three directors received a total of $10,000 for serving as committee chairpersons and as a non-employee officer, with such compensation to be paid all in shares of the Company’s common stock, all in cash or a combination thereof, at each director’s election. Five directors elected to receive compensation in all shares and two directors elected to receive compensation in all cash. Based on the closing stock price of $0.275 per share on December 4, 2023, a total of 209,088 shares were issued on February 2, 2024.
