NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BT Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “BT Brands,” or “BT”) and have been prepared in accordance with the US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. In our opinion, all regular and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 29, 2026, does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2025, and the related notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material. Overview of Our Company As of March 29, 2026, we owned and operated nine restaurants across multiple states in the Midwest, Massachusetts, and Florida, and held a minority ownership interest in an unconsolidated affiliate that operated an additional five restaurants, for a total of fourteen operating restaurant locations. BT Brands operating restaurants comprise the following: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;"> </td><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">●</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Six Burger Time fast-food restaurants are located in the North Central region of the United States (collectively, “BTND”).

(“BDVB”), an unconsolidated affiliate operating five casual-dining restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. We do not own a controlling interest in BDVB, but we exercise significant influence over its operating and financial policies; we account for BDVB under the equity method. Village Bier Garten, a German-themed restaurant, bar, and entertainment venue in Cocoa, Florida, ceased operations in January 2025. We operate our businesses under a centralized management structure. By leveraging our shared management services platform, we aim to drive company-wide efficiencies, including reducing corporate overhead across existing and acquired operations. Historically, our objective has been to create long-term shareholder value in the food service industry. Our core strategy has focused on acquiring restaurant properties and operating businesses at attractive valuation multiples, enabling diversification across restaurant concepts and geographic markets while reducing reliance on any single brand or location. Additional elements of our strategy have included driving same-store sales growth, improving cost efficiency, and enhancing brand awareness. Termination of Proposed Business Combination with Aero Velocity On September 2, 2025, BT Brands entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Aero Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of BT Brands (“Merger Sub”), and Aero Velocity Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aero”). The proposed transaction contemplated that Aero would merge with and into Merger Sub, with Aero continuing as the surviving corporation, and that the combined company would focus primarily on Aero’s unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing and Drones-as-a-Service operations. The Merger Agreement also contemplated, prior to closing, a spin-off of the Company’s existing restaurant operations and related assets and liabilities into a newly formed subsidiary, BT Group, Inc. (“BT Group”), to be distributed to pre-merger holders of BT Brands common stock. The spin-off was not expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On May 1, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Report, the Company delivered written notice to Aero terminating the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) thereof. The Company exercised its termination right because the registration statement relating to the proposed transaction had not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the closing had not occurred by April 30, 2026, the applicable deadline. Termination was effective upon delivery of the notice. Upon termination, the Merger Agreement ceased to be of further force or effect, other than certain customary surviving provisions, and all transactions contemplated thereby were abandoned. The Company does not believe any termination fee or material penalty is payable. Under Section 5.8 of the Merger Agreement, each party is responsible for its own transaction expenses. On May 4, 2026, counsel for Aero delivered a letter asserting that the Company’s termination was invalid. The Company disputes Aero’s assertions. The Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the termination. For additional information regarding the proposed Merger and subsequent termination, see our Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2026, and on December 1, 2025, available at www.sec.gov. Fiscal Year Periods BT Brands' fiscal year is 52/53 weeks, ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Most years consist of four 13-week accounting periods comprising a 52-week year. Fiscal 2025 was 52 weeks ending December 28, 2025, and Fiscal 2026 is 53 weeks ending January 3, 2027. References in this report for periods refer to the 13-week periods in the respective fiscal periods. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents may include money market mutual funds and United States Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Our bank deposits often exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, we maintain cash deposits in brokerage accounts, including money market funds, which exceed the amount insured. We do not believe there is a significant risk related to cash. Equity Method Investments Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss and dividends received. The Company’s share of the investee’s net income or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as equity income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliate. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a three-level hierarchy for measuring fair value based on the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement in its entirety. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other current working capital items approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Marketable Securities The Summary of fair value measurements of marketable securities as of the respective dates is as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt

trading securities. Trading debt securities are recorded at quoted market price (fair value) on the consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized holding gains or losses recognized on the statement of operations. Receivables Receivables consist of estimated rebates due from vendors. Inventory Inventory consists of food, beverages, and supplies and is stated at a lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Deferred Transaction Costs Deferred transaction costs consist primarily of legal, accounting, and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s At-the-Market (“ATM”) equity offering program. These costs are capitalized as incurred and will be recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital upon the issuance of shares under the ATM program. The deferred transaction costs are periodically evaluated for recoverability based on the Company’s expectation of completing future equity issuances. If it is determined that the related equity offering is no longer probable, the deferred costs will be expensed in the period in which such a determination is made. Costs incurred in connection with the now-terminated proposed business combination with Aero Velocity Inc., including legal, advisory, and other transaction-related expenses, were recorded as expenses as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 29, 2026, and December 28, 2025, deferred transaction costs totaled $163,630 and $150,450, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to thirty years. We review long-lived assets to determine whether their carrying values are recoverable based on estimated cash flows. Assets are evaluated at the lowest level at which cash flows can be identified, the restaurant level. To determine future cash flow, we estimate each restaurant’s future operating results. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment is the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeds the assets’ fair value. Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Other Assets Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually. The cost of other intangible assets is amortized over their expected useful lives. Asset Held for Sale In 2025, we closed a Burger Time store in Ham Lake, Minnesota. The Ham Lake property is currently offered for sale; management expects to sell the property for an amount in excess of its current book value. Income Taxes The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740), Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, we provide a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are adjusted as required. As of March 29, 2026, we used a net combined federal and state rate of approximately 25% in estimating our current tax benefit. Given the recent losses, the Company has determined that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the future realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $1,200,000 has been recorded as of March 29, 2026, reducing the net deferred tax asset balance to zero. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in future periods. Should circumstances change and sufficient positive evidence emerge to support the realization of deferred tax assets, all or a portion of the valuation allowance may be reversed. As of December 28, 2025, the Company has approximately $2.8 million in federal operating tax loss carryforwards. The Company has no accrued interest or penalties relating to income tax obligations. There are currently no federal or state examinations in progress. The Company has not had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. All periods since inception remain open for inspection. Per Common Share Amounts Net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted per-share amounts if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive shares for the periods ending in 2026 and 2025.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BT Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “BT Brands,” or “BT”) and have been prepared in accordance with the US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. In our opinion, all regular and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 29, 2026, does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2025, and the related notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025.

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material. Overview of Our Company As of March 29, 2026, we owned and operated nine restaurants across multiple states in the Midwest, Massachusetts, and Florida, and held a minority ownership interest in an unconsolidated affiliate that operated an additional five restaurants, for a total of fourteen operating restaurant locations. BT Brands operating restaurants comprise the following: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;"> </td><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">●</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Six Burger Time fast-food restaurants are located in the North Central region of the United States (collectively, “BTND”).

(“BDVB”), an unconsolidated affiliate operating five casual-dining restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. We do not own a controlling interest in BDVB, but we exercise significant influence over its operating and financial policies; we account for BDVB under the equity method. Village Bier Garten, a German-themed restaurant, bar, and entertainment venue in Cocoa, Florida, ceased operations in January 2025. We operate our businesses under a centralized management structure. By leveraging our shared management services platform, we aim to drive company-wide efficiencies, including reducing corporate overhead across existing and acquired operations. Historically, our objective has been to create long-term shareholder value in the food service industry. Our core strategy has focused on acquiring restaurant properties and operating businesses at attractive valuation multiples, enabling diversification across restaurant concepts and geographic markets while reducing reliance on any single brand or location. Additional elements of our strategy have included driving same-store sales growth, improving cost efficiency, and enhancing brand awareness.

On September 2, 2025, BT Brands entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Aero Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of BT Brands (“Merger Sub”), and Aero Velocity Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aero”). The proposed transaction contemplated that Aero would merge with and into Merger Sub, with Aero continuing as the surviving corporation, and that the combined company would focus primarily on Aero’s unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing and Drones-as-a-Service operations. The Merger Agreement also contemplated, prior to closing, a spin-off of the Company’s existing restaurant operations and related assets and liabilities into a newly formed subsidiary, BT Group, Inc. (“BT Group”), to be distributed to pre-merger holders of BT Brands common stock. The spin-off was not expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On May 1, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Report, the Company delivered written notice to Aero terminating the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) thereof. The Company exercised its termination right because the registration statement relating to the proposed transaction had not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the closing had not occurred by April 30, 2026, the applicable deadline. Termination was effective upon delivery of the notice. Upon termination, the Merger Agreement ceased to be of further force or effect, other than certain customary surviving provisions, and all transactions contemplated thereby were abandoned. The Company does not believe any termination fee or material penalty is payable. Under Section 5.8 of the Merger Agreement, each party is responsible for its own transaction expenses. On May 4, 2026, counsel for Aero delivered a letter asserting that the Company’s termination was invalid. The Company disputes Aero’s assertions. The Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the termination. For additional information regarding the proposed Merger and subsequent termination, see our Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2026, and on December 1, 2025, available at www.sec.gov. BT Brands' fiscal year is 52/53 weeks, ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Most years consist of four 13-week accounting periods comprising a 52-week year. Fiscal 2025 was 52 weeks ending December 28, 2025, and Fiscal 2026 is 53 weeks ending January 3, 2027. References in this report for periods refer to the 13-week periods in the respective fiscal periods.

Cash and cash equivalents may include money market mutual funds and United States Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Our bank deposits often exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, we maintain cash deposits in brokerage accounts, including money market funds, which exceed the amount insured. We do not believe there is a significant risk related to cash.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss and dividends received. The Company’s share of the investee’s net income or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as equity income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliate.

The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a three-level hierarchy for measuring fair value based on the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement in its entirety. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and other current working capital items approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Marketable Securities The Summary of fair value measurements of marketable securities as of the respective dates is as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt

Receivables consist of estimated rebates due from vendors.

Inventory consists of food, beverages, and supplies and is stated at a lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

Deferred transaction costs consist primarily of legal, accounting, and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s At-the-Market (“ATM”) equity offering program. These costs are capitalized as incurred and will be recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital upon the issuance of shares under the ATM program. The deferred transaction costs are periodically evaluated for recoverability based on the Company’s expectation of completing future equity issuances. If it is determined that the related equity offering is no longer probable, the deferred costs will be expensed in the period in which such a determination is made. Costs incurred in connection with the now-terminated proposed business combination with Aero Velocity Inc., including legal, advisory, and other transaction-related expenses, were recorded as expenses as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 29, 2026, and December 28, 2025, deferred transaction costs totaled $163,630 and $150,450, respectively.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to thirty years. We review long-lived assets to determine whether their carrying values are recoverable based on estimated cash flows. Assets are evaluated at the lowest level at which cash flows can be identified, the restaurant level. To determine future cash flow, we estimate each restaurant’s future operating results. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment is the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeds the assets’ fair value.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually. The cost of other intangible assets is amortized over their expected useful lives.

In 2025, we closed a Burger Time store in Ham Lake, Minnesota. The Ham Lake property is currently offered for sale; management expects to sell the property for an amount in excess of its current book value.

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740), Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, we provide a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are adjusted as required. As of March 29, 2026, we used a net combined federal and state rate of approximately 25% in estimating our current tax benefit. Given the recent losses, the Company has determined that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the future realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $1,200,000 has been recorded as of March 29, 2026, reducing the net deferred tax asset balance to zero. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in future periods. Should circumstances change and sufficient positive evidence emerge to support the realization of deferred tax assets, all or a portion of the valuation allowance may be reversed. As of December 28, 2025, the Company has approximately $2.8 million in federal operating tax loss carryforwards. The Company has no accrued interest or penalties relating to income tax obligations. There are currently no federal or state examinations in progress. The Company has not had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. All periods since inception remain open for inspection.

Net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted per-share amounts if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive shares for the periods ending in 2026 and 2025.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In 2019, we adopted the BT Brands, Inc. 2019 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units, and other stock and cash awards to eligible participants. As of March 29, 2026, 718,250 shares were available for grant under the 2019 Incentive Plan. In July 2025, the Board granted 62,500 options with an exercise price of $1.50 per share. This grant included 22,000 fully vested one-year options and 40,000 options that vest 20% upon grant and an additional 20% on each of the succeeding four anniversary dates. In 2024, we issued 15,000 ten-year options to the then-existing outside member of our Board of Directors to purchase shares at $1.61 per share; we also granted 5,000 fully vested options to purchase shares at $1.70 per share to a new member of the Board. In 2022, we granted 216,000 options, including 175,000 to company officers and 41,000 to employees and a consultant, to purchase shares at $2.58 per share. In 2023, outside of the plan, we granted a consultant a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares at $2.50 per share, exercisable for seven years. The warrant vests monthly over five years, provided the consultant continues in this capacity. Assuming the consulting agreement runs full term, we project that approximately $80,000 in stock-based compensation will be recognized, with $32,000 recognized in each of the next two years and $16,000 recognized in 2028. Compensation expense equal to the fair value of the options at the grant date is recognized in general and administrative expense over the applicable service period. Total equity-based compensation expenses for stock options and warrants in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 were $16,375 and $31,000, respectively. As of March 29, 2026, we estimated that approximately $121,000 in stock-based compensation expense for stock options, including consultant warrants, would be recognized over the next four years: $49,000 in 2026, and $43,000 in 2027, $24,000 in 2028 and $5,000 in 2029. Following the end of the quarter, the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of certain outstanding options, resulting in the recognition of this expense in the second quarter of 2026. At the date of grant, the Board of Directors determines the vesting provision in each agreement. Generally, stock options granted to employees and directors vest 20% upon grant and 20% each year for 4 years. Options expire ten years from the date of the grant. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model when determining the compensation cost associated with stock options issued using the following significant assumptions: <table cellpadding="0"

NOTE 7 – LEASES In connection with the acquisition of Keegan’s, the Company agreed to a lease for approximately 2,800 square feet of restaurant space. The lease has a term of 131 months and provides for an initial base rent of $5,000 per month, with annual increases equal to the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Current monthly base rent is $5,628. Variable lease costs consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, certain utility expenses, and sales taxes. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. At lease commencement, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of approximately $624,000. The operating lease liability was $446,111 as of March 29, 2026, and $458,587 as of December 28, 2025, discounted using a rate of 3.75% and is reflected as operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Upon acquisition of the PIE assets, the Company leased approximately 3,500 square feet of restaurant and bakery production space. The lease has an initial term of 60 months and has been renewed for an additional five-year term. The lease provided for an initial base rent of $10,000 per month, with a 3% annual escalation beginning after the first 24 months. Current monthly base rent is $10,609. Variable lease costs consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, certain utility expenses, and sales taxes. The PIE lease includes two remaining 5-year option periods extending to May 2041. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. At lease commencement, the Company determined that it was reasonably certain to exercise the initial five-year renewal option and therefore included this period in the lease term. As a result, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of approximately $1,055,000. The operating lease liability related to the PIE lease as of March 29, 2026, was $749,466 and was $771,907 as of December 28, 2025, discounted using a rate of 4.5% and is reflected as operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In May 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Schnitzel Haus, the Company assumed the remaining 44 months of the restaurant’s 4,200-square-foot lease, with a monthly base rent of approximately $5,400. The Schnitzel Haus lease is accounted for as an operating lease. At lease commencement, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of $182,478. The operating lease liability related to this lease was $110,606 as of March 29, 2026, and approximately $122,953 as of December 28, 2025, discounted using a rate of 6.5%, and is reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Village Bier Garten Lease – The Company’s acquisition of Village Bier Garten assets in 2023 included a 60-month triple-net lease for approximately 3,000 square feet of restaurant space. The lease provided for an initial rent of approximately $8,200 per month, subject to an annual escalation of 3%. On January 2, 2025, the Company ceased operations at the Village Bier Garten location in Cocoa, Florida, and entered into an agreement to assign the lease to a third party. After possession was transferred, the assignee operated a restaurant on the premises and paid rent directly to the landlord for several months, which the landlord accepted. In November 2025, the landlord issued a notice of default alleging nonpayment of rent beginning in August 2025. The landlord later regained possession, barred the Company from accessing the premises, and initiated legal proceedings to recover amounts allegedly owed under the lease. The landlord has secured a replacement tenant, which would mitigate any damages awarded. As a result of the cessation of operations and loss of use of the premises, the Company evaluated the related right-of-use asset for impairment in accordance with ASC 842 and ASC 360 and recorded a full impairment charge of approximately $215,000 during the year ended December 28, 2025. Given the outstanding litigation seeking acceleration of unpaid rent under the lease, as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company has included a net lease liability of approximately $215,000, representing the total unpaid lease payments under the full lease term. The ultimate resolution of the matter is subject to ongoing litigation and may differ from the amounts recorded. The following table presents future minimum lease payments under the Company’s operating leases as of March 29, 2026, including amounts related to the PIE lease, assuming exercise of the initial five-year renewal option. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company exercised the initial five-year renewal option. <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:85%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid;vertical-align:bottom;">YEAR</td><td style="white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="hdcell" colspan="2" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;">Lease Payments</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">2026 remaining</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">338,840</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">2027</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">322,686</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">2028 </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">219,824</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">2029</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">214,859</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">2030</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">215,034</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Thereafter</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">347,669</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Total future minimum lease payments</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,658,912</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Less - interest</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">(137,729 </td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">)</td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Present value of lease obligations</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,521,183</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr></tbody></table> The weighted-average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases was approximately 5.3 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was approximately 4.50%. The Company is unable to readily determine the interest rate implicit in its leases. Therefore, the discount rate used represents the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement for a similar term, collateralized by the leased assets. The total operating lease expenses for the 13 weeks in 2026 and 2025 were approximately $82,000 and $76,000, respectively. Cash paid for leases during the thirteen weeks in 2026 totaled approximately $80,000, and $74,000 during the thirteen weeks in 2025. Variable expenses for lease properties were approximately $9,000 in the first quarter of 2026 and $9,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The Company pays approximately $1,400 in monthly rent under month-to-month arrangements for corporate and administrative office space in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS NGI Corporation Equity Investment and Impairment Prior to 2025, the Company held a minority equity investment in NGI Corporation (“NGI”) with an aggregate carrying value of $304,000. During fiscal 2025, the Company evaluated the recoverability of this investment and identified impairment indicators, including recurring operating losses at NGI and its limited access to capital. As a result, the Company determined the investment was impaired and recorded a full impairment charge of $304,000, reducing the carrying value to zero. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company has no remaining carrying value related to its equity investment in NGI. Loans, Foreclosure, and Inventory Acquisition The Company previously provided loans to NGI and, in connection with those arrangements, obtained a senior secured interest in substantially all of NGI’s assets. During fiscal 2025, the Company advanced additional funds and funded certain costs related to aluminum water bottle inventory. Effective December 26, 2025, the Company exercised its rights under the loan agreements and foreclosed on the collateral securing the loans. As a result, the Company obtained control of bottle inventory, which is recorded within current assets as “Inventory – bottled water held for resale.” The bottle inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of December 28, 2025, the Company recorded a write-down of approximately $217,000 to reflect the estimated net realizable value. As of March 29, 2026, the carrying value of the bottle inventory, which includes ongoing carrying costs, was $584,324. The Company is actively pursuing the sale of this inventory; however, the timing and amount of any proceeds are uncertain. Future adjustments to the carrying value may be required based on changes in estimated selling prices, costs to sell, or market conditions. Related Party Considerations Kenneth Brimmer, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, serves as a member of NGI’s board of directors and as its Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, transactions with NGI are considered related party transactions.Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Inc.- On June 2, 2022, the Company purchased 11,095,085 shares of common stock of Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Inc. (“Bagger Dave’s” or “BDVB”), representing approximately a 40.7% ownership interest at the time of purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,260,000. The Company accounts for its investment in BDVB under the equity method of accounting, as it has the ability to exercise significant influence over BDVB’s operating and financial policies but does not control the entity. Bagger Dave’s operates five casual dining restaurant and bar locations in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. BDVB’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink market, and BDVB reports financial information under the Alternative Reporting Standard of OTC Markets Group, Inc. Such financial information is not required to be audited. As of December 28, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in BDVB was $0. During fiscal 2025, the Company’s cumulative share of BDVB’s net losses exceeded the carrying value of its investment. Accordingly, the Company reduced the investment balance to zero and discontinued recognizing additional equity method losses, as the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of BDVB and had not previously committed to provide further financial support. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company advanced $88,227 to BDVB pursuant to authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors to provide up to $297,000 of financing on terms to be determined. The advance represents additional financial support. As a result, the Company resumed recognition of its share of BDVB’s losses to the extent of the additional investment. As a result of net income totaling $218,248 in the first quarter of 2026, BT Brands’ cumulative share of Bagger Dave’s net income, amounting to $9,558, due to prior year losses in excess of equity investment of $79,269 is recognized in the current period. The Company will continue to recognize its share of BDVB’s earnings or losses only to the extent of its net investment balance, including any additional financial support provided. Any share of losses in excess of the Company’s investment balance will not be recognized unless the Company commits to further financial support or guarantees obligations of BDVB. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, BDVB sold its closed leasehold interest in Chesterfield, Michigan, for approximately $400,000, consisting of cash and notes receivable. BDVB recognized a gain of approximately $350,000 related to this transaction. The following tables present unaudited summary financial information of BDVB as of and for the periods indicated, as reported by BDVB <table cellpadding="0"

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. A liability is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is reasonably possible but cannot be reasonably estimated, or if a loss is at least reasonably possible, the Company provides disclosure but does not record an accrual. Village Bier Garten Lease Litigation In 2023, the Company acquired assets of Village Bier Garten, including a 60-month triple-net lease for approximately 3,000 square feet of restaurant space in Cocoa, Florida, at an initial rent of approximately $8,200 per month, subject to annual escalation of 3%. On January 2, 2025, the Company ceased operations at the location and entered into an agreement to assign the lease to a third party. Following the transfer of possession, the assignee operated a restaurant on the premises and remitted rent payments directly to the landlord for several months, which the landlord accepted. In November 2025, the landlord issued a notice of default asserting nonpayment of rent beginning in August 2025. The landlord subsequently filed a lawsuit against 1519BT, LLC and BT Brands, Inc. seeking recovery of unpaid rent and other amounts allegedly due under the lease. The landlord subsequently took possession of the premises through court proceedings. The Company disputes the landlord’s claims and intends to defend the matter vigorously. The Company believes that the landlord’s acceptance of rent payments from the assignee following the transfer of possession, combined with the landlord’s obligation under Florida law to mitigate damages following repossession, may substantially reduce any amounts ultimately recoverable. The Company also has asserted a separate claim against the assignee for approximately $200,000 in unpaid consulting fees and believes it has contractual rights against the assignee for any amounts that may be determined payable under the lease. As of December 28, 2025, the Company wrote off the remaining $215,000 book value of the right-of-use asset attributable to the lease. The recorded liability does not reflect any reduction for the landlord’s mitigation obligation or the Company’s potential recovery from the assignee. The ultimate outcome will be determined through litigation or negotiated settlement and may differ materially from the amount recorded. Management will continue to evaluate the matter as additional information becomes available. Aero Velocity Merger Termination On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Aero Velocity Inc. (“Aero”). On May 1, 2026, subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026, the Company delivered written notice terminating the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b). The Company exercised its termination right because the registration statement relating to the proposed transaction had not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the closing had not occurred by April 30, 2026, the applicable deadline under the Merger Agreement. The Company believes the termination was valid and effective in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. On May 4, 2026, counsel for Aero delivered a letter asserting that the termination was invalid and seeking payment of approximately $1,500,000 in damages and other amounts. The Company disputes Aero’s assertions and does not believe that any termination fee or other material payment obligation is owed. Under Section 5.8 of the Merger Agreement, each party is generally responsible for its own transaction expenses. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no formal legal proceedings have been initiated. The Company cannot predict whether Aero will commence litigation or the outcome of any such proceeding. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, no accrual has been recorded related to this matter because the Company cannot conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the matter and update its disclosures as appropriate. Other Matters In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to claims, legal proceedings, and regulatory matters arising from its operations, including employment practices, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, food safety matters, and other matters typical of the restaurant industry. As of March 29, 2026, the Company was not a party to any material pending legal or regulatory proceedings other than the Village Bier Garten lease litigation described above. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Aero Velocity dispute described above arose. The outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain.

The Company disputes Aero’s assertions and does not believe that any termination fee or other material payment obligation is owed. Under Section 5.8 of the Merger Agreement, each party is generally responsible for its own transaction expenses. On April 20, 2026, the Board of Directors of BT Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an Amended and Restated Insider Trading Policy (the “Revised Policy”), which replaced the Company’s prior insider trading policy previously filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 1, 2024. The Revised policy primarily modifies the prior policy by: (i) eliminating the mandatory, standing quarterly trading blackout periods in favor of a flexible framework under which the Compliance Officer implements event-driven “special blackout periods” based on pending material developments; and (ii) expanding the pre-clearance requirements to mandate that all members of the Board of Directors and executive officers must pre-clear all transactions in Company securities at all times, rather than only during active blackout windows. On May 14, 2026, BT Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, dated December 16, 2024 (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company could from time to time offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $.002 per share, through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal, in an at-the-market offering. The Company elected to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms, and no further shares will be offered or sold thereunder. The Company did not incur any termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Agreement.
