When did Venu Holding Corp file this 10-Q?

Venu Holding Corp (VENU) filed this Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) with the SEC on August 13, 2026. The accession number assigned by EDGAR is 0001493152-26-037568.

What does a 10-Q disclose?

Form 10-Q is the SEC's quarterly report. Public companies file it after each of the first three fiscal quarters to disclose unaudited financial statements and management's discussion of operations. The fourth-quarter results are rolled into the annual 10-K instead.

What events did Boardroom Alpha flag in this filing?

BA's event-extraction layer identified these signals in the filing text: "Going-concern flag", "Internal-control issue". They appear above the filing body as a labeled pill.

How is a 10-Q different from a 10-K?

Form 10-Q is filed three times a year (after Q1, Q2, and Q3 — the fourth quarter rolls into the 10-K). 10-Qs contain unaudited interim financial statements and a shorter MD&A. They're due 40 or 45 days after quarter end depending on filer size.

Where can I find Venu Holding Corp's prior quarterly reports on EDGAR?

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the Company’s future results. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions of a forward-looking nature are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of the Company’s future financial performance, the Company’s anticipated growth and potential in its business, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2025, and this Quarterly Report and elsewhere herein. The forward-looking information contained in this Quarterly Report is generally located under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well.

Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such statements in making an investment decision. The Company disclaims any obligation to update factors or to announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

In addition, statements such as “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report and, although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. You should carefully read the factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and other cautionary statements made throughout this

Quarterly Report, and you should interpret such factors and cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever appearing in this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise, unless required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and our projections and expectations may be incorrect. The factors that may affect our expectations regarding our operations include, among others, the following:

	●	our projected financial position, and actual and estimated cash burn rate;

	●	our estimates regarding expenses, project development timelines and costs, future revenues and capital requirements for our current and future amphitheater campus development projects;

	●	the level of our revenues, which depends in part on the performance of our restaurants, popularity of concerts and events held at our venues, the performance of the artists who perform at our venues, and our ability to attract concerts and events to our venues;

	●	the costs and effectiveness of our marketing efforts, as well as our ability to promote our brands, future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures, and our estimates regarding our capital requirements, our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants;

	●	the level of our capital expenditures and other investments;

	●	general economic conditions in the metropolitan areas in which our restaurants and venues operate or are being developed;

	●	general instability of economic and political conditions in the United States and globally, including inflationary pressures, interest rate fluctuations, slowdown or recession, rising fuel prices, and geopolitical tensions, and the potential impact of economic conditions on our liquidity, operations, and personnel;

	●	our ability to raise financing in the future and to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us or at all;

	●	our ability to service our debt obligations, and execute on additional sources of capital the Company identifies from time to time;

	●	the demand for sponsorship and firepit suite interests at our venues and amphitheaters;

	●	the effect of any postponements or cancellations by third parties or the Company of scheduled events, whether as a result of a public health emergency due to operational challenges and other health and safety concerns or otherwise;

	●	our reliance on third parties;

	●	our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and our ability to retain and attract key personnel;

	●	compliance with government regulations, including federal and state securities laws, environmental, health, and safety regulations and liabilities thereunder;

	●	the performance of the Company’s information technology systems and its ability to maintain data security;

	●	the expenses associated with being a public company; and

	●	other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report or any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) occur, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements we make herein and therein prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference within it with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company. These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies included in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year or any future period.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: economic lives of leased assets; impairment assessment of long-lived assets; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful lives of intangible assets; accruals for contingencies including tax contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; estimates of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; initial measurement (and any subsequent remeasurement) of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, including the discount rate used in the present value calculation of future payments, and estimates of fair value used in the private stock valuations used for equity-based compensation of warrants and stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to developing and implementing its business plan, raising capital, opening, planning and operating its restaurants and event venues in Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Tennessee. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As of the issuance of these financials, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months has been alleviated.

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $123,098,229 and $91,454,930 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and incurred net losses of $34,177,639 and $31,736,344 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, based on management’s expectations that the Company will add additional venue locations and continue its business operations, Venu believes that such substantial doubt has been alleviated.

The Company believes that cash on hand from its prior equity offerings, its sale lease-back arrangements, revenues from operating venues and restaurants in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Gainesville, Georgia, on-going sales of interests in Luxe FireSuites, the operations at the Ford Amphitheater campus (including Roth’s Sea & Steak and Brohan’s), the anticipated opening of the Regent Bank Amphitheater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in Fall 2026, debt facilities the Company closed on subsequent to June 30, 2026 and expects to close on later in 2026, and potentially other additional capital raising and debt financing transactions or the use of the Company’s at-the-market sales program from time to time will allow the Company to continue its business operations for at least 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Nonetheless, the Company’s continued implementation of its business plan to open under-development venues and add additional locations is dependent on its future engagement in strategic locations, real estate transactions, capital raising, and debt financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to execute on these plans. If the Company is unable to enter into strategic relationships and transactions, the Company may be required to delay its business plan implementation for future expansion, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s growth plan.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities. For those entities that aren’t wholly owned by Company, the Company assesses the voting and management control to confirm the Company is the primary beneficiary of the majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. See “Organization” and “Non-Controlling Interest and Variable Interest Entities” for further discussions of the entities that are majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 8 – Investments in Related Parties for further discussion.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

● Level 1 – fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level 2 – fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

● Level 3 – fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Balances due to and due from related parties do not have specific repayment dates and are payable on demand, thus are also considered current and short-term in nature, hence carrying value approximates fair value and are included in current assets or liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Our cash and cash equivalents include bank accounts as well as interest-bearing accounts consisting primarily of bank deposits and money market accounts managed by third-party financial institutions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1,362,248 of cash and cash equivalents in the form of money market accounts that earned interest income of $181,651 and $309,322 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $23,095,342 of cash and cash equivalents in the form of money market accounts that earned interest income of $24,293 and $127,486 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of food, beverages and supplies, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The Company reviews inventory on a weekly basis and determines if slow-moving or obsolete inventory exists. No allowance was deemed necessary as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments in related parties

The Company currently accounts for certain investments using a practical expedient to measure these investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments - Equity Securities; ASC 325, Investments – Other; ASC 810, Consolidation; and ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The investments are initially recognized at cost. Any income or loss from these investments is recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, net of operating expenses. The carrying value of the Company’s investments are assessed for indicators or impairment at each balance sheet date. Under this method of accounting, the investment is derecognized once the Company’s interest in the investment is sold or impaired. Upon sale, any proportionate gain or loss is recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as other income. See Note 8 – Investments in Related Parties and Note 15 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, write-downs and impairment losses. Property and equipment are recorded as construction in progress until they are placed in service and are depreciated or amortized once placed in service. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the following periods:

The estimated useful lives are:

SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES

Leasehold improvements		Shorter of lease term or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		2-10 years
Buildings		Up to 40 years
Aircraft		20 years

Property and equipment costs directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of operating venues and restaurants are capitalized. Expenditures for major improvements and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Capitalization of Interest Costs of Real Estate Projects

The Company acquires real estate for the construction and development of future venues. Interest costs incurred over the period in which the construction and development of the venue are substantially complete are recorded as part of the historical cost of the real estate asset and depreciated under the same method as property and equipment.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with a finite life are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. The Company currently has naming rights that are amortized on a straight-line basis over six years.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group might not be recoverable.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An evaluation for impairment is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value. No impairment loss was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Provision for Uncollectible Accounts

See “Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” herein for additional information on the adoption of ASU 2025-05 and the practical expedient related to credit losses. The Company’s customers include attendees of concerts, shows and events (collectively “event centers”), restaurant diners and sponsors. The collection of payments for event centers and restaurants is handled at point of sale. Sponsors sign a contract that commits them to sponsorship payments over the contract term. Based on historical collection experience and other factors, the Company has determined that a provision for uncollectible accounts is not necessary. Circumstances that could affect this estimate include, but are not limited to, customer credit issues and general economic conditions. The Company writes off customer accounts when they are deemed to be uncollectible, which have historically been infrequent. The Company has elected the practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the receivables when estimating expected credit losses. For all periods presented, there were no uncollectible accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASC requires an entity to allocate the transaction price received from customers to each separate and distinct performance obligation and recognize revenue as these performance obligations are satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue from restaurant sales when food and beverage products are transferred to the customer. Revenue from a venue rental, concert or show is recognized when the event, concert or show occurs. Amounts collected in advance of the event are recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Amounts collected from sponsorship agreements, which are not related to a single event, are classified as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the agreements as the benefits are provided to the sponsors. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, deferred revenue totaled $1,977,456 and $1,542,564, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred revenue totaled $1,888,889 and $1,528,159, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $351,787 and $911,264, respectively, in revenue from its deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $686,696 and $1,405,418, respectively, in revenue from its deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024. There are no refunds or allowance for refunds in accordance with the Company’s reservation policies.

Long-term Licensing Agreement

The Company accounts for suite licensing agreements for NHC and its owners club memberships for the Regent Bank Amphitheater, The Sunset McKinney, and The Sunset Houston as long-term licensing liabilities. The suite licensing agreements for NHC grants the licensee with the exclusive access to a Luxe FireSuite over a 99-year lease term commencing on the date of the first ticketed event. The agreements require a one-time upfront fee of $200,000, which is amortized over 30 years, representing the estimated useful life of the amphitheater and the period over which the licensee is expected to utilize the suite. The amortization of these suite license fees started to be recognized in June 2025 when NHC fully opened its suites in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized rental income totaling $55,833 and $111,667, respectively, from prepaid licenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized rental income totaling $18,611 and $18,611, respectively, from prepaid licenses.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Each owners club membership for the Regent Bank Amphitheater, The Sunset McKinney, and The Sunset Houston entitles each member to perpetual access to two tickets to a Luxe FireSuite and requires a one-time upfront deposit, ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 under a financing option, or $100,000 to $200,000 for a fully prepaid membership. Members who elect the financing option are required to pay the membership fee in six installments, with the initial deposit of $25,000 or $50,000 due upon execution of the membership agreement, followed by five equal installments of the remaining balance due annually on or before 120 days prior to the first scheduled public event at each of the amphitheaters in each subsequent year from 2026 to 2030. The owners club membership fees are expected to begin amortization for the Regent Bank Amphitheater in Fall 2026, The Sunset McKinney in Q1 2027, and The Sunset Houston in Spring 2028, when these venues are currently projected to open, and continue in perpetuity for the lifetime of the amphitheater.

Operator Agreements

The Company contracted with a subsidiary of the Anschutz Entertainment Group, AEG Presents-Rocky Mountains, LLC (“AEG Presents”), a major music and entertainment events presenter, to operate Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which opened in August 2024. Within the Company’s Amphitheater Operations, its pre-sells naming rights to its amphitheater(s) by partnering with industry-leading brands under naming-rights agreements. The Company generates net profits that are split with AEG Presents through: (i) ticket sales, fees and rebates on tickets for concerts and events held at Ford Amphitheater; (ii) parking fees; (iii) venue rentals, which may occur for a variety of corporate and personal events; (iv) food and beverage sold at the shows and events; and (v) sponsorship sales, which allow brands to advertise at the Company’s venue by showcasing their names and logos on a variety of sponsorship inventory curated for the venue and at each event the Company promotes and hosts, all of which are offset by operating expenses, artist expenses, supplies, security, utilities, insurance, overhead, etc. within the Company’s net amphitheater revenue recognition from AEG Presents. In May 2026 the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries restructured the form of their relationships and arrangements with AEG Presents. In that restructuring the respective parties entered into the following arrangements: (i) a Venue Lease Agreement between SunsetAmp, acting in its capacity as the “Landlord,” and Notes Live Foundation, a non-profit organization operating under the trade name Venu Arts & Culture Foundation (the “Foundation”) and SunsetOps, acting in their capacities as the “Tenants” thereunder; and (ii) a Lease Agreement between the Foundation and SunsetOps, acting in their capacities as the “Landlords,” and AEG Presents, acting in its capacity as the “Tenant” thereunder (such agreements, collectively, the “New Amphitheater Agreements”). Although the New Amphitheater Agreements restructured the form of the contractual relationships among the parties thereto, they substantially preserved the economic and operational terms of prior agreements related to the operation of the Ford Amphitheater. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a net receivable of $217,334 and $225,822, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses as the Company believes any receivable balance is fully collectible or will be offset by operating expenses owed by the Company to AEG Presents.

On January 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Multi-Event Incentive Agreement with Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. (“Live Nation”) in connection with the Regent Bank Amphitheater being developed in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The agreement provides incentives to Live Nation to book and promote live music concerts, comedy events and other mutually approved entertainment events at the Regent Bank Amphitheater. The incentive payment is based on the number of tickets sold at each event during each contract year, which is based on a tiered chart with varying incentive payments per ticket sold depending on the range of total tickets sold per contract year. A bonus payment will be paid to Live Nation for one dollar for each ticket sold at each event where the gross revenue of ticket sales for an event equal to or is greater than specified thresholds. The incentive and bonus payments payable to Live Nation will begin when the first event is held at the Regent Bank Amphitheater, which is anticipated to open in Fall 2026.

On December 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Operator Agreement with Live Nation to lease the premises on which The Sunset McKinney amphitheater is being developed in McKinney, Texas. The agreement provides for a revenue-sharing arrangement whereby Live Nation will pay the Company a percentage of the net profits generated from Live Nation’s events at The Sunset McKinney, after deducting applicable event-related expenses and other costs and expenses chargeable to the parties’ co-promotion of events. The agreement also names Live Nation as the exclusive third-party booking agency for all events held at The Sunset McKinney. The agreement may be terminated without penalty if certain conditions are not satisfied or may otherwise be terminated upon an uncured event of default.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

NNN FireSuite Liability

The Company accounts for its NNN FireSuite transactions as financing arrangements rather than as sales of equity interests. Because the Company does not transfer control of the suites, no revenue or gain is recognized on the upfront cash proceeds. In substance, the buyer/lessor provides financing to the Company, with the Luxe FireSuite as collateral. Accordingly, at inception, the Company continues to carry the Luxe FireSuite assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their existing carrying amount and records the cash proceeds from the buyer/lessor as a long-term financing liability (reported as “NNN firesuite liability”). The Company does not derecognize any of its real estate or equipment as a result of these transactions, since they do not qualify as sales under the applicable accounting guidance. The monthly payments made by the Company under the leaseback are not recorded as rent expense. These payments represent interest and principal payments on the financing liability.

Leases

Operating and Finance Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term, including any renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, at the rate implicit in the lease. Lease liabilities are increased by the principal amount due and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components as permitted under ASC 842. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less as an accounting policy election and expenses payments on these short-term leases as they are made.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangements

For sale-leaseback arrangements, the Company evaluates whether the arrangement qualifies as a sale and leaseback under ASC 842. If the arrangement qualifies as a sale, then the Company derecognizes the asset, recognizes any resulting gain or loss on the sale, and accounts for the lease based on its classification under ASC 842. If the arrangement does not qualify as a sale, the Company evaluates whether the transaction should be accounted for as a financing arrangement. In such cases, the asset is not derecognized and, accordingly, no gain or loss is recognized on the transfer. The net consideration received is recorded as a financing liability, measured based on the relative fair value allocation of proceeds using the present value of the fixed payments over the financing term, including any renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, at the rate implicit in the lease. The Company allocates each lease payment between interest expense and a reduction of the financing liability using an imputed interest rate. The Company does not recognize lease expense or a right-of-use asset during the financing period, because the arrangement is accounted for as a financing transaction rather than a lease. The underlying asset remains on the Company’s balance sheet and the Company continues to evaluate the asset for impairment throughout the term of the financing arrangement.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in operating expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total advertising expenses were $3,635,988 and $4,847,091 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $1,526,311 and $3,020,767 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Pre-Opening Expenses

Non-capital expenditures associated with opening a new restaurant, event center, or amphitheater are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of expenses incurred before the opening of a new location and include occupancy, labor, travel, training, food, beverage, marketing and other initial supplies and expenses. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses reported in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are recorded as reductions of long-term debt and are amortized over the term of the related debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs were $281,540 and $383,008 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $1,248,449 and $1,890,061 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. These costs are included in interest expense in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Equity Compensation

The Company recognizes equity compensation expense based on the fair value of the warrants or stock options at the time of the grant or issuance. Share-based compensation includes warrants and stock options issued to the Company’s employees. These may vest immediately, over a specified period, or upon the achievement of certain market performance conditions. The exercise price of a warrant or stock option is the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date.

Equity Issuance Costs

Equity issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be performed within one year. These costs are netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement.

Stock Options and Warrants

The Company accounts for stock options and warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the stock options’ and warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the stock options and warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability, and whether the warrants meet all the requirements for equity classification, including whether the stock options and warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the stock options and warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of the stock option and warrant issuance and as of each subsequent balance sheet date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified stock options and warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the stock options and warrants are required to be recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity at the time of issuance.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Equity Awards with Market Performance Conditions

The fair value and derived service period of performance-based awards granted with market performance conditions are estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected award term, and expected share price volatility. These inputs, which are subjective and generally require significant judgment, are unique to each award based on the best available information at the valuation date. For such awards, equity-based compensation is recognized straight-line over the derived service period, which is the median period over which each individual market performance milestone is achieved. Equity-based compensation expense will continue to be recognized over the expected achievement period for the market performance milestone as the service condition continues to be satisfied, unless the market performance milestone is achieved earlier than its expected achievement period, in which a cumulative expense adjustment would be recognized for the remaining portion of unrecognized equity-based compensation.

Sale of Subsidiary Class B and Class C Units

The Company accounts for the sale of Class B and Class C non-voting units through its subsidiary companies as permanent equity. Holders of Class B and Class C non-voting units are granted exclusive access to designated Luxe FireSuites at the Sunset Amphitheaters located in Broken Arrow, El Paso, McKinney, and Houston. Purchasers are required to pay either a cash deposit upfront or make a cash deposit under a 20-year financing arrangement.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. A proportional share of the Company’s subsidiaries’ provisions is included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the asset and liability method and financial statement amounts that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The Company computes deferred balances based on enacted tax laws and applicable rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations is considered. If the Company determines it will be able to realize the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance had been recorded, then it will adjust the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company evaluates the tax positions taken on income tax returns that remain open and positions expected to be taken on the current year tax returns to identify uncertain tax positions.

Unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions are recorded on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) an assessment is made as to whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized is recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax benefit.

The Company is a C corporation, while the Company’s subsidiaries (except for Notes CS I, DST) are limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that have elected to be taxed as partnerships. As LLCs, management believes that these subsidiaries are not subject to income taxes, and such taxes are the responsibility of the respective members. The subsidiary LLCs are still in place, with the parent Company filing as a corporation.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Non-Controlling Interest and Variable Interest Entities

The non-controlling interest (“NCI”) represents capital contributions and distributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly owned consolidated entities and are reported in equity. NCIs are evaluated by the Company and are shown as permanent equity. Net income (loss) attributable to NCIs reflects the portion of the net income (loss) of consolidated entities applicable to the NCI stockholders in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net income (loss) attributable to NCIs is classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of consolidated net income (loss) and deducted from total consolidated net income (loss) to arrive at the consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The Company has evaluated its investments in its consolidated entities in order to determine if they qualify as variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

The Company is the entity that holds the majority, and only, voting interests and is also the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a majority of the controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated. These analyses require considerable judgment in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and could result in the consolidation of an entity that would otherwise not have been consolidated or the non-consolidation of an entity that would have otherwise been consolidated.

The Company accounts for the change in its ownership interest while it retains its 100% controlling financial interest, as the Company owns 100% of the voting membership interest, in all of its majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs as equity transactions. As such, the Company is the entity that holds the majority, and only, voting interests and is also the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The VIEs meet or will meet the definition of a business once open for operations and each VIE’s assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations. The Company is the holder of controlling variable interests in its VIEs and is also the holder as the primary beneficiary of all of its VIEs. The VIEs exist for the Company’s operations and purposes. The Company is the sole manager of the legal entity and operating manager of the VIEs. The Company would provide support to the VIEs, including events that may expose the Company to the VIEs reporting losses. The Company directly controls each VIE’s financial position in terms of operations, construction, acquisition of real estate, financial performance and directs its cash flows. As the VIEs issue voting equity interests to the Company, the Company holds 100% voting interest and is also the primary beneficiary of each VIE.

The carrying value of the NCI should be adjusted to reflect the change in the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary, and differences between the fair value of the consideration received and the amount by which the NCI is adjusted should be recognized in equity attributable to the Company. This may be shown as NCI and as additional paid in capital to the Company when combined agree to the subsidiary issuance of shares as shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Change in Stockholders’ Equity. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in a loss of control or deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported to net earnings. These may be majority-owned subsidiaries or VIEs that the Company has 100% voting control of.

During 2025, the Company bought 5,100,000 membership units of SHC. This purchase transaction did not result in a change in control of SHC. In June 2026, the Company, through the Trust, redeemed 100% of the beneficial interests in the Trust, and the Trust ceased to have any third-party interest holders. This transaction did not result in a change in control of the Trust.

Revision of Non-Controlling Interest Presentation in Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company revised the presentation of subsidiary issuance of shares, net of Venu contributions, to properly reflect the allocation between NCI and additional paid-in capital within consolidated equity. As a result, NCI increased and additional paid-in capital decreased by $20,864,007 in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2025. This revision had no impact on total consolidated equity.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Segment Reporting

The Company considers our restaurant and event center operations as similar, in close proximity, and have aggregated them into a single reportable segment. Revenue from customers is derived principally from food and beverage services with a portion being served in conjunction with live entertainment. Our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM makes operating performance assessment and resource allocation decisions on a consolidated basis. The CODM does not receive discrete financial information about asset allocation, expense allocation or profitability by product or geography.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 amends ASC 740, Income Taxes to expand income tax disclosures and requires that the Company disclose (i) the income tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts; (ii) specific categories within the income tax rate reconciliation; (iii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold; (iv) the composition of state and local income taxes by jurisdiction; and (v) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company has elected to adopt this guidance prospectively beginning January 1, 2025.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income to expand income statement expense disclosures and require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is required to be adopted for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which allows the Company to elect a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for as revenues from contracts with customers. This expedient allows the Company to assume that current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. As permitted, the Company has elected to early adopt the practical expedient as of December 31, 2025 and applied its provisions prospectively to the provision for uncollectable accounts. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU No. 2025-10”), which establishes authoritative guidance for accounting for government grants received by business entities. Under the new guidance, a government grant is not recognized until it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, and recognition guidance is met. A grant related to an asset is recognized on the balance sheet as the Company incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. ASU No. 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU can be applied on a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications for Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the 2025 Annual Report, the Company reclassified $100,000 of equity-based compensation to equity issued for services. These reclassifications will be applied consistently in the Company’s upcoming quarterly and annual filings.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

Operating Leases

The Company leases the properties used for some of its restaurants, venues, office space and parking spaces.

The Company leases its office space from an unrelated party. The lease term is until November 30, 2029 and escalates in base rent by 1.3% each year. Additionally, the Company previously leased an executive apartment from an unrelated party, which lease was terminated early in January 2026.

On June 24, 2026, HIA entered into a Lease Agreement and Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which HIA reassigned its lease interests in and leases with BBSTCS and BBP (the “Tenants”) to BBRP DST (the “DST Landlord”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Venu. The Assignment Agreement has no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. It is expected that third parties will purchase and be issued beneficial interests in DST Landlord. Beginning July 1, 2026, and subject to 100% of the beneficial interests in BBRP DST being owned by beneficial holders, annual base rent payable by BBP for the BBP CO concert and event venue is initially $693,000 and escalates by 2.0% annually beginning July 1, 2027, and annual base rent payable by BBSTCS for the BBST CO restaurant is initially $1,213,308 and escalates by 2.0% annually beginning July 1, 2027. As of June 30, 2026, no beneficial interests in BBRP DST had been sold. Any rental income and expense recognized between the DST Landlord and the Tenants will be considered intercompany transactions and eliminated upon consolidation.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangements

On November 5, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary NLRE, closed on a sale-leaseback arrangement, pursuant to which it sold the 5.5 acres of land owned by PPP used for parking for Ford Amphitheater (such land, together with improvements thereon, the “Property”) to a related party (the “Landlord”) and concurrently entered into a ground lease agreement with the Landlord to lease the Property for a 20-year term under an NNN lease structure with an option to re-purchase the Property within the first three years of the closing date of the sale at a fixed price, which would return the asset to the Company’s balance sheet. The Landlord is wholly owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Annual base rent is initially $1,050,000 and escalates by 2.5% each year beginning on November 5, 2026. This transaction qualifies as a sale under ASC 842 and the lease is accounted based on the guidance for operating leases.

On June 5, 2026, the Company, through the Trust, completed a sale-leaseback arrangement, pursuant to which it transferred the DST Property to a related party of the Company (the “DST Buyer” or “DST Landlord”) and concurrently entered into a ground lease agreement with the DST Landlord to lease the DST Property for a 25-year term under an NNN lease structure with an option to re-purchase the DST Property at any time during the 20-year period following the closing date at a fixed price. The DST Landlord is co-owned by a significant shareholder of the Company and the Company’s Chairman and CEO. Annual base rent is initially $4,224,500 and escalates by 10% each year beginning on June 5, 2027. This transaction does not qualify as a sale under ASC 842 and the lease is accounted for as a financing arrangement that is presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a lease financing liability.

NOTE 5 –LEASES (Continued)

The transaction provided $49,700,000 of consideration, of which $41,718,113 was allocated to the financing liability and $7,981,887 was allocated to warrants issued in the transaction (refer to Note 10 – Equity for further details). The $7,981,887 allocated to warrants represents a discount on the financing liability that is recognized as interest expense over the financing term under the effective-interest method. Interest expense related to the financing arrangement was $341,243 and $341,243 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. No interest expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Total rent expense for operating leases including short-term leases and variable costs was $513,855 and $1,023,119 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Total rent expense for operating leases including short-term leases and variable costs was $468,252 and $881,472 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Total cash paid for rent expense for operating leases was $365,656 and $731,897 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Total cash paid for rent expense for operating leases was $114,275 and $234,873 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

NOTE 6 – PROMISSORY NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 3,390,957 and 752,435 shares of treasury stock (which includes shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock), respectively.

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method as it has multiple classes of equity including the Series B 4% Convertible Preferred Stock, issued on June 16, 2025.

The Series B Preferred Stock is not a participating security and does not share in undistributed earnings beyond its fixed 4% cumulative dividend. Under the two-class method, income available to common shareholders is reduced by the cumulative preferred dividend, whether declared or not.

The Series B Preferred is convertible at the option of the holder into 1,000 shares of Common Stock per preferred share (plus accrued dividends), and is considered a potentially dilutive security. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock was anti-dilutive and excluded in the diluted EPS computation. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Series B Preferred Stock dividends accrued were $524,625 and $223,875, respectively.

Once vesting occurs for each tranche of 1,000,000 options, such tranche will be exercisable for five years from the date of vesting.

SCHEDULE OF OPTIONS VESTED SUBJECT TO TRANCHE

Tranche #	Number of Options Vested Subject to Tranche		Closing Sale Price		Market Performance Milestone	Achievement Status

A		1,000,000	$	15.00	Achievement of closing sale price of Tranche A before January 20, 2031		-

Fair Value Assumptions

We estimate the fair value of warrants and stock options with service conditions on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF WARRANTS AND OPTION

	June 30, 2026	June 30, 2025
Volatility	38.7% to 42.8%	45.4% to 66.2%
Dividends	0.00%	0.00%
Risk-free rate	3.6% to 4.4%	0.4% to 4.1%
Expected Term (years)	5-8	3-5

NOTE 12 – WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)

We estimate the fair value of stock options with market performance conditions on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model are as follows:

	Tranche A			Tranche B			Tranche C
Expected award term (in years) (1)		3.3			3.6			3.8
Expected share price volatility		38.43	%		38.43	%		38.43	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%
Risk-free rate of return		3.86	%		3.86	%		3.86	%
Forfeiture rate		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%
Grant date fair value per option (2)	$	3.22		$	2.85		$	2.37

(1)	The award agreement does not specify an explicit time-based service requirement. The stock options vest solely upon satisfaction of the closing sale price prior to January 20, 2031.

(2)	The equity-based compensation expense is recognized straight-line over the expected award term for each tranche independently.

Stock options and warrants are equity classified, not liability classified, and are not remeasured at fair value.

NOTE 14 – NNN FIRESUITE LIABILITY

NNN Luxe FireSuite Real Estate Offering (“Cash Purchase”)

During 2025, the Company entered into arrangements to sell the exclusive use rights to Luxe FireSuites to third parties and concurrently lease them back for a 15-year term under a NNN lease structure. Under these agreements, the third-party pays an upfront purchase price for a Luxe FireSuite and the Company (through a subsidiary, as seller-lessee) immediately leases the suite for its own use for 15 years. Monthly lease payments to the buyer/lessor are fixed to yield an 11% annual return on the purchase price, with a 2% escalation each year.

NOTE 14 – NNN FIRESUITE LIABILITY (Continued)

At the end of the 15-year lease term, the buyer/lessor has a one-time option to require the Company to repurchase the Luxe FireSuite rights at a price equal to 150% of the original purchase price (“Lessor Sale Option”). If the buyer/lessor exercises this put option (which expires at lease end), the Company must buy back the suite rights at the agreed price. If the buyer/lessor does not exercise the option, the lease will terminate and the buyer/lessor will retain the ownership of the suite rights going forward (i.e. the buyer/lessor’s rights will continue beyond year 15, and the Company will no longer lease the suite). The repurchase option provides the buyer/lessor with an annual return on its purchase and, as a result, the Company expects that the option will be exercised in most, if not all, cases.

The Company recognizes interest expense on the financing liability over the 15-year term at an effective interest rate that reflects the 11% initial yield and the annual 2% escalations, such that the liability will accrete to the 150% repurchase price by the end of the term. The financing liability arising from the Luxe FireSuite transactions is included in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of the NNN firesuite liability was $39,159,131, which reflects initial proceeds of $38,277,000 received from the buyer/lessor and includes $317,870 and $606,617 of accreted interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of the NNN firesuite liability was $31,064,514, which reflects initial proceeds of $30,789,000 received from the buyers/lessors. There was no accreted interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized interest expense of $3,050,536 and $5,217,516, respectively, related to the Luxe FireSuites financing, which is included within Interest Expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no Interest Expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

NNN Luxe FireSuite Real Estate Offering with Financing Option (“Finance Purchase”)

In April 2026, the Company launched initiated a new arrangement to sell the exclusive use rights to Luxe FireSuites at the Sunset Amphitheaters in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and El Paso, Houston, and McKinney, Texas to third parties and concurrently lease them back under a NNN lease structure. Under these agreements, the third-party pays an upfront purchase price or a cash deposit under a financing option over 20 years for a Luxe FireSuite and the Company immediately leases the suite for its own use for 15 years. Monthly lease payments to the buyer/lessor are fixed to yield an 11% annual return on the purchase price, with a 2% escalation each year, and the buyer/lessor’s monthly payment obligations under the NNN promissory notes are settled through reductions in their monthly distributions.

The buyer/lessor has a one-time option at the end of 5, 10, or 15 years to require the Company to repurchase the Luxe FireSuite rights at a price equal to 115%, 125%, or 150%, respectively, of the original purchase price (the “Lessor Repurchase Price”). If the buyer/lessor exercises this put option at the end of each respective period, the Company must repurchase the suite rights at the agreed price, with the Lessor Repurchase Price settled against the remaining outstanding NNN promissory notes receivable balance (see Note 6 – Promissory Notes Receivable for further details). If the buyer/lessor does not exercise the option, the lease will terminate at the end of 15 years, and the buyer/lessor will retain ownership of the suite rights going forward.

The Company recognizes interest expense on the financing liability over the 15-year term at an effective interest rate that reflects the 11% initial yield and the annual 2% escalations, such that the liability will accrete to the Lessor Repurchase Price by the end of the term. The financing liability arising from the Luxe FireSuite transactions is included in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of the NNN firesuite liability was $19,630,392, which reflects initial proceeds of $19,537,000 received from the buyer/lessor, net of $542,646 of principal repayments, and includes $93,392 and $93,392 of accreted interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of the NNN firesuite liability was $0 and, accordingly, no proceeds from the buyer/lessor, accreted interest, and interest expense were recognized.

NOTE 14 – NNN FIRESUITE LIABILITY (Continued)

Following is the future maturities of the NNN firesuite liability for the twelve months ending June 30,

On July 14, 2026, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, entered into a Consulting and Management Agreement with Legends Global Theater Management, LLC (“Legends”) in connection with the Regent Bank Amphitheater being developed in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Under this agreement, Legends will provide pre-opening advisory services and will book and promote live music concerts, comedy events and other mutually approved entertainment events at the Regent Bank Amphitheater in exchange for a fixed monthly pre-opening advisory fee; a monthly management fee consisting of the greater of a fixed annual fee or a fixed percentage of adjusted gross income, less specified event-related costs; an annual incentive fee upon achievement of mutually agreed key performance indicators; and monthly commissions related to food-and-beverage revenues.

On July 17, 2026, for the purpose of funding construction costs for its in-development amphitheater projects, the Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries named as guarantors, entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Guaranty Agreement (the “Note”) with Ryan, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender provided the Company with a secured, short-term bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) in the principal amount of $20,000,000 plus up to $500,000 to cover certain of the Lender’s third-party fees, costs, and expenses incurred in negotiating the Note. The term of the Bridge Loan is 90 days from July 17, 2026, and the Bridge Loan bears interest at 18.0% per annum. The Bridge Loan is personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman and CEO.

In July 2026, the Company granted 200,000 stock options to a director of the Company, 250,000 stock options to an advisor to the Company’s CEO and a director nominee for election to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and 300,000 stock options to an officer of the Company (subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting of a proposed amendment to the 2023 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan).

In connection with the Partner Agreement dated November 6, 2025 that the Company entered into with one of its brand ambassadors, the Company issued 77,479 shares of Common Stock to the brand ambassador in August 2026.

Pursuant to the Old Mill Note dated February 3, 2026, the Company elected to satisfy the first six months of accrued interest payable to Old Mill in the form of the Company’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issued was based on a value of approximately $174,577, determined using the volume weighted average price per share during the preceding ten days during which the NYSE American was open. On August 3, 2026, the Company issued 76,234 shares of Common Stock to satisfy the accrued interest obligation.

Effective August 3, 2026, the Company entered into a Ticketing Agreement with Ticketmaster L.L.C. (“Ticketmaster”) pursuant to which Ticketmaster is granted the right to be the exclusive seller of all tickets for the sellable capacity of any event held at the Regent Bank Amphitheater, The Sunset McKinney, and The Sunset El Paso.

Pursuant to the Debentures, $12,500,000 of the original principal amount that was funded to the Company by the Purchaser on the Issuance Date (the “Holdback Amount”) is initially being held in an account as cash collateral, subject to release to the Company upon the Company’s compliance with certain terms in the Debentures. The Debentures will mature on July 31, 2027, unless earlier converted or redeemed. The Debentures have an original issue discount of 5%. Accordingly, on the Issuance Date, the Company received gross proceeds of $11,875,000 before fees and expenses. If the Holdback Amount is subsequently released to the Company pursuant to the Debentures, the Company will receive additional gross proceeds of $11,875,000, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $23,750,000 before fees and expenses. The Debentures do not bear interest unless and until the occurrence of an event of default, in which case the Debentures will accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum.

Venue Ownership

Venu primarily generates revenue through restaurant operations, event rentals, naming rights and sponsorship arrangements, and hosting concerts and events. Our business involves developing, owning, and operating the following types of venues and entertainment spaces:

Event Centers — Event centers are indoor, intimate music and event venues that can accommodate up to approximately 1,400 guests. This venue category includes our Bourbon Brothers Presents venues, which are designed to host approximately 1,400 concertgoers at general admission concerts featuring national-touring artists or to seat between 500 and 700 guests at more intimate events such as concerts featuring tribute bands or dueling pianos, corporate functions, or weddings. Our BBP event centers can be transitioned from one configuration to the next. This operational flexibility is intended to maximize our event-rental opportunities by expanding the types of events we can host while minimizing the time it takes to stage one event to the next, allowing us, for example, to host a concert one night and a wedding the following afternoon.

Amphitheaters — Amphitheaters are venues that accommodate between 8,000 and 20,000 concertgoers. Amphitheaters are designed with special acoustics, premium seat packages, and luxurious suites intended to amplify guests’ music and entertainment experiences. Our first amphitheater venue was the Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which is an open-air, 8,000-person venue. In addition to lawn and stadium-style seating that allows us to offer tickets at an array of price points, Ford Amphitheater has Luxe FireSuites that deliver premium hospitality and a more luxurious, personalized concert experience. Ford Amphitheater, which opened in August 2024, is designed with 92 VIP Luxe FireSuites , accommodating a total of 736 VIP guests. Ford Amphitheater primarily hosts concerts from April through October each year. The amphitheaters under development or planned for development in Oklahoma and Texas will also have Luxe FireSuites and are designated to host multi-seasonal events.

Restaurants — Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern is Venu’s flagship, full-service restaurant concept. BBST serves American classics and Southern staples, accompanied by a selection of rare bourbons, ryes, whiskies, and local craft beers. Venu develops its BBST restaurants and BBP event centers in close proximity to one another, which allows BBST to serve as the exclusive caterer for BBP events.

Fine Dining, Hospitality, and Entertainment Campuses — In June 2025, Venu opened Roth’s Sea & Steak, a fine-dining restaurant in a mixed-use development adjacent to Ford Amphitheater, for exterior concert seating. In November 2025, Venu opened the restaurant operations of Roth’s Sea & Steak. Framing either side of Roth’s are two configurable hospitality spaces to be used for hosting corporate events, weddings, trade shows, conventions, and other events. Above Roth’s and in between the Notes Hospitality Collection spaces is a “top-shelf” bar and lounge called Brohan’s, which opened in November 2025 and offers unobstructed views of the surrounding area that Venu intends to monetize during marquee shows at Ford Amphitheater.

The following table summarizes the types of venues we are operating or otherwise in development and / or planning to develop, describing each by venue type, location, expected opening date, and current status.

Business Segment

We consider our restaurant and event center operations as similar, in close proximity, and have aggregated them into a single reportable segment. Revenue from our customers is primarily derived from food and beverage (“F&B”) services (our “Restaurant Operations”) with a portion being served contemporaneously with live entertainment during the events and concerts that we promote and host (our “Event Operations”) at the event center and amphitheaters, in addition to the revenues generated by venue rentals and sponsorships at the event centers and amphitheaters.

Event Operations. The Event Operations portion of our business involves the promotion of live music and events in our owned or operated venues, the operation and management of our venues, the creation of content from concerts and events hosted in our venues, and the provision of management and other services to artists. Between BBP CO in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and BBP GA in Gainesville, Georgia, we promote and hold hundreds of live music and other events each year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we promoted and held 27 concerts and 27 private events at BBP CO, 35 concerts and 3 private events at BBP GA. No private events were held at Notes Eatery in 2026 due to its closure in July 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we promoted and held 30 concerts and 15 private events at BBP CO, 40 concerts and 3 private events at BBP GA, and 6 private events at Notes Eatery.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we promoted and held 55 concerts and 35 private events at BBP CO, 63 concerts and 5 private events at BBP GA. No private events were held at Notes Eatery in 2026 due to its closure in July 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we promoted and held 55 concerts and 23 private events at BBP CO, 71 concerts and 10 private events at BBP GA, and 15 private events at Notes Eatery.

Our Event Operations business generated $1,232,696, or 26% and $2,299,794, or 27%, of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Our Event Operations business generated $1,350,418, or 30% and $2,627,078, or 33%, of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The $117,722 or 9% decrease in revenue for the three-month period and $327,284 or 12% decrease in revenue for the six-month period from 2025 to 2026 were primarily attributable to weaker event ticket sales at BBP GA and BBP CO during the first half of 2026.

Within our Events Operations, we generate revenues through: (i) ticket sales and fees on tickets sold directly by us or through the ticketing business that we contract with for our events; (ii) fees collected on tickets sold by other third-party platforms, such as convenience and order-processing fees and service charges; (iii) venue rentals, which occur for a variety of corporate and personal events; (iv) pre-selling naming rights to our live-entertainment venues by partnering with industry-leading brands under naming-rights agreements; and (v) sponsorship sales, which allow brands to advertise at our venues by showcasing their names and logos on a variety of sponsorship inventory curated for each of our venues and at each event we promote and host.

Restaurant Operations. Revenues generated through restaurant operations included F&B sales at our BBST restaurants, Roth’s Sea & Steak, and Notes bar (known as Notes Eatery). F&B sales include all revenues recognized with respect to stand-alone F&B sales, along with F&B sales at BBP CO and BBP GA.

Our Restaurant Operations business generated $3,192,696, or 67% and $5,617,082, or 66%, of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Our Restaurant Operations business generated $2,545,178, or 57% and $4,590,094, or 57%, of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The $647,518 or 25% increase in revenue for the three-month period and $1,026,988 or 22% increase in revenue for the six-month period from 2025 to 2026 were primarily attributable to the opening of Roth’s Sea & Steak in November 2025, offset by decreased revenue from the closure of Notes Eatery in July 2025 and softer overall F&B sales at BBST GA. BBST GA was specifically impacted by the early winter storms, which led to full and partial closures over two weekends during the first quarter of 2026.

Amphitheater Operations. Through a subsidiary, we entered into an agreement with AEG Presents whereby they lease and operate Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Within our Amphitheater Operations, we pre-sell naming rights to our amphitheater by partnering with industry-leading brands under naming-rights agreements. At the Ford Amphitheater, we generate net profits that are split with AEG Presents through: (i) ticket sales, fees, and rebates on tickets for concerts and events held at Ford Amphitheater; (ii) parking fees; (iii) venue rentals, which may occur for a variety of corporate and personal events; (iv) food and beverage sold at the shows and events; and (v) sponsorship sales, which allow brands to advertise at our venue by showcasing their names and logos on a variety of sponsorship inventory curated for the venue and at each event we promote and host, all of which are offset by operating expenses, artist expenses, supplies, security, utilities, insurance, overhead, and other operating costs within our net amphitheater revenue recognition from AEG Presents. For future amphitheater locations we expect to open, we anticipate entering into customized operating, concession, and content arrangements with third-party partners.

Our Amphitheater Operations generated $370,069, or 8% and $630,072, or 7%, of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Our Amphitheater Operations generated $591,712, or 13% and $769,294, or 10%, of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The $221,643 or 37% decrease in revenue for the three-month period and $139,222, or 18% decrease in revenue for the six-month period from 2025 to 2026 were primarily driven by a decrease in the number of shows, from 11 shows held during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to 6 shows held during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. This decrease resulted in lower amphitheater net profits shared with AEG Presents. The Company expects its amphitheater net profits to strengthen during the remainder of 2026, driven by continued operations of the Ford Amphitheater throughout its season. The Company anticipates to open the Regent Bank Amphitheater in Fall 2026, which is expected to contribute additional amphitheater revenue following its opening. The Company will begin recognizing naming rights sponsorship revenue in July 2026 in connection with the Regent Bank Amphitheater.

Financial

Private Offerings

Since our formation in 2017, we have funded our operations, in part, through proceeds from private sales of our equity and debt securities.

We anticipate raising additional cash through the private sales of membership interests in certain of our subsidiary entities (including interests in our Luxe FireSuites and / or lease rights to those suites) at our amphitheater locations, collaborative arrangements such as owner’s clubs, or a combination thereof, to continue to fund our construction of venues. There is no assurance that any such collaborative arrangement will be entered into or that financing will be available to us when needed in order to allow us to continue our operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations or revise the timeline of our business plan.

Registered Equity Offerings

On March 8, 2026, we completed a public offering of 14,340,000 shares of Common Stock, and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 4,410,000 shares of Common Stock, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, in each case together with accompanying Common Warrants to purchase up to 18,750,000 shares of Common Stock. The aggregate public offering price for each share of Common Stock, together with one Common Warrant, is $4.00. The aggregate public offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant, together with one Common Warrant, is $3.999. The closing of the offering took place on March 10, 2026. We also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,812,500 shares of Common Stock and/or 2,812,500 Pre-Funded Warrants and/or 2,812,500 Common Warrants to cover any over-allotments in connection with the offering. The over-allotment option was exercised in full. We received net proceeds of approximately $80.1 million (including from the exercises of the over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Revenues

Total revenues increased $308,154, or approximately 7% during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. As a component of our single reportable business segment, revenues generated from our “Restaurant including food and beverage revenue, net” increased $647,518 primarily due to the opening of Roth’s Sea & Steak in November 2025 and it being in operation during the 2026 period, partially offset by decreased revenue resulting from the closure of Notes Eatery in July 2025 during the three-month period. “Event center ticket and fees revenue, net” decreased $396,166 primarily due to a decrease in the total number of shows at the Ford Amphitheater during the period when compared to the prior year, which resulted in lower amphitheater net profits shared with AEG Presents, and weaker event ticket sales at BBP CO during the three-month period. The Company expects its amphitheater net profits to strengthen during the remainder of 2026, driven by continued operations of the Ford Amphitheater throughout its season. “Rental and sponsorship revenue, net” increased $56,802 primarily due to stronger venue rentals at BBP CO during the three-month period.

Operating Costs

Food and Beverage Costs. Our F&B costs increased $193,565 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in sales volumes and use of premium ingredients used in our Fine Dining & Hospitality Collection venues (Roth’s Sea & Steak and SHC), which opened in the second half of 2025.

Event Center Costs. Our event center costs increased $21,507 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. primarily due to an increase in parking lot costs for the Ford Amphitheater, partially offset by decreased talent costs, which can fluctuate based on negotiated contracts and the number of events.

Labor Costs. Our labor costs increased $504,489 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the hiring of a new management team, kitchen staff, and waiting staff for Roth’s Sea & Steak, which opened in November 2025 and was in operation during the 2026 period (but not the 2025 period). This increase was partially offset by the elimination of labor costs following the closure of Notes Eatery in July 2025.

Rent Costs. Our rent costs increased $66,111 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases in annual base rents, property taxes, and insurance expenses across several locations and rent for a leased parking lot in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which commenced in November 2025.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $1,629,355 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our expansion efforts into additional municipalities and marketing efforts to increase sales of interests in our Luxe FireSuites offerings. These expansion plans and promotional efforts resulted in increased travel, business development and promotional efforts, staff recruitment and development of such staff, along with compensation, legal, auditing, tax, other professional services, and general working capital expenses. We anticipate these costs to continue to increase period over period as we continue to expand our teams into new markets, continue construction of its entertainment campuses and seek to grow our balance sheet over the next several years.

Equity compensation. Equity compensation decreased $101,241 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average fair value of issued warrants and stock options and lower volatility assumptions. Additionally, 2.5 million options were granted in January 2025 to the Chairman & CEO of Venu and a related party regarding their personal guaranty of the McKinney purchase of land that immediately vested.

Depreciation and Amortization Costs. Depreciation and amortization costs increased $1,026,319 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to assets purchased for Fine Dining & Hospitality Collection venues (Roth’s Sea & Steak and SHC) in 2025, the purchase of a corporate aircraft in September 2025 which resulted in a full quarter of depreciation in the 2026 period, and the purchase of a building in Centennial, Colorado which began depreciating in February 2026.

Donation of EIGHT Brewing investment. Donation expense increased $1,999,999 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, due to the charitable contribution of the Company’s investment in EIGHT Brewing to the Foundation.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased $2,440,777 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to obligations owed to triple net lease interest holders (being to Luxe FireSuite holders who leased their right in a suite back to us) beginning in the third quarter of 2025 (See the discussion in Note 5 related to NNN FireSuite Promissory Notes Receivable). The increase was also driven by higher interest expense and amortization of debt discount fees associated with these obligations in 2026 compared to 2025.

Other Income. Other income increased $42,875 during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the discontinuation of the Sunset at Mustang Creek LLC operations, which we decided not to pursue in 2025.

Revenues

Total revenues increased $560,482, or approximately 7% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. As a component of our single reportable business segment, revenues generated from our “Restaurant including food and beverage revenue, net” increased $1,026,988 primarily due to the opening of Roth’s Sea & Steak in November 2025, partially offset by decreased revenue resulting from the closure of Notes Eatery in July 2025 and softer sales for BBST GA. “Event center ticket and fees revenue, net” decreased $521,794 primarily due to a decrease in the number of shows during the 2026 period when compared to the 2025 period, which resulted in lower amphitheater net profits shared with AEG Presents, and weaker event ticket sales at BBP CO and BBP GA during the six-month period. The Company expects its amphitheater net profits to strengthen during the remainder of 2026, driven by continued operations of the Ford Amphitheater throughout its season. “Rental and sponsorship revenue, net” increased $55,288 primarily due to stronger venue rentals at BBP CO during the six-month period.

Operating Costs

Food and Beverage Costs. Our F&B costs increased $339,416 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in sales volumes and use of premium ingredients used in our Fine Dining & Hospitality Collection venues (Roth’s Sea & Steak and SHC), which opened in the second half of 2025.

Event Center Costs. Our event center costs increased $15,158 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. primarily due to an increase in parking lot costs for the Ford Amphitheater, partially offset by decreased talent costs, which can fluctuate based on negotiated contracts and the number of events.

Labor Costs. Our labor costs increased $1,024,287 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the hiring of a new management team, kitchen staff, and waiting staff for Roth’s Sea & Steak, which opened in November 2025.

Rent Costs. Our rent costs increased $183,446 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases in annual base rents, property taxes, and insurance expenses across several locations and rent for a leased parking lot in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which commenced in November 2025 after a sale leaseback transaction for that property.

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $2,433,199 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our expansion efforts into additional municipalities and marketing efforts to increase sales of interests in our Luxe FireSuites offerings. These expansion plans and promotional efforts resulted in increased travel, business development and promotional efforts, staff recruitment and development of such staff, along with compensation, legal, auditing, tax, other professional services, and general working capital expenses. We anticipate these costs to continue to increase period over period as we continue to expand our teams into new markets, continue construction of its entertainment campuses and seek to grow our balance sheet over the next several years.

Equity compensation. Equity compensation decreased $9,485,929 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average fair value of issued warrants and stock options and lower volatility assumptions. Additionally, 2.5 million options were granted in January 2025 to the Chairman and CEO of Venu and a related party in connection with their personal guaranty of the McKinney land purchase, which vested immediately. During the second quarter of 2025, 4.3 million options and warrants were issued, of which 3.4 million vested immediately. Although a total of 8.4 million options and warrants were issued during the second quarter of 2026, 5.0 million of these instruments were not accounted for as equity instruments and therefore did not result in equity compensation expense, while most of the remaining options and warrants vest over a two- to four-year period.

Depreciation and Amortization Costs. Depreciation and amortization costs increased $2,026,747 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to assets purchased for Fine Dining & Hospitality Collection venues (Roth’s Sea & Steak and SHC) in 2025, the purchase of a corporate aircraft in September 2025 which resulted in a full six months of depreciation in 2026, and the purchase of a building in Centennial which began depreciating in February 2026.

Donation of EIGHT Brewing investment. Donation expense increased $1,999,999 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, due to the charitable contribution of the Company’s investment in EIGHT Brewing to the Foundation.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased $4,496,624 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to obligations owed to triple net lease interest holders (being to Luxe FireSuite holders who leased their right in a suite back to us) beginning in the third quarter of 2025 (See the discussion in Note 5 related to NNN FireSuite Promissory Notes Receivable). The increase was also driven by higher interest expense and amortization of debt discount fees associated with these obligations in 2026 compared to 2025.

Other Income. Other income increased $31,170 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the discontinuation of the Sunset at Mustang Creek LLC operations, which we decided not to pursue in 2025.

Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations

Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions

We continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressure, potential for recession, instability of capital markets, consumer-spending habits, costs of goods and construction materials, changes to fiscal and monetary policies, interest rate fluctuations, access to capital, the favorability of lending terms, prolonged supply-chain constraints, and geopolitical conflicts and trends, on all aspects of our business, including how those factors may impact our operations, workforce, suppliers, ability to raise additional capital to fund operating and capital expenditures, sales, and profitability.

The extent of the impact of these factors on our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be confidently predicted at this time. To date, these factors have not had a material impact to our results of our operations or development efforts. However, if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate or there are unforeseen developments, our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Inflation

We continue to monitor the impacts of inflation on our business and will continue to attempt to proactively seek cost-saving measures and negotiate with municipalities to purchase land without being burdened by increased borrowing costs and unfavorable lending terms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have devoted substantially all our efforts to developing and implementing our business plan to market expansion, growing staff, raising capital, opening and operating our restaurants and event venues in Colorado and Georgia, planning venues in new markets, such as Oklahoma and Texas, and exploring additional markets. While our current primary focus is on the operation of our existing venues and on our development projects, our secondary focus is the development of venues in other prospective markets. While we undergo the construction of our in development and planned venues during the remainder of 2026 and into 2027 in Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, we do not anticipate operational profits until we open and operate additional venues.

We had an accumulated deficit of $123,098,229 and $91,454,930 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and incurred net losses of $34,177,639 and $31,736,344 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We believe the net loss in the 2026 period was largely due to our efforts to continue to implement our business plan, grow our staff, raise capital, acquisition and construction costs for our in-development venues in new markets, such as Oklahoma and Texas, along with increased marketing efforts to increase sales of interests in our Luxe FireSuites portfolio offerings.

We grew property and equipment, net, to $446,239,065 as of June 30, 2026 from $305,947,277 as of December 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $140,291,788 or 46%.

The Company believes that cash on hand from its prior equity offerings, revenues from operating venues and restaurants in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Gainesville, Georgia, on-going sales of interests in FireSuites, the operations of Ford Amphitheater 2026, including Roth’s Sea & Steak and Brohan’s, the anticipated opening of Regent Bank Amphitheater in Broken Arrow, OK in Fall 2026, and debt facilities the Company closed on subsequent to June 30, 2026 and expects to close on later in 2026, and potentially other additional capital raising and debt financing transactions or the use of its at the market sales agreement from time to time, will allow the Company to continue its business operations for at least 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report.

Equity and Debt Financing Strategies

In April 2024, the Company executed a term sheet with the City of El Paso, Texas, and then later in June 2024 and July 2024 entered into a Chapter 380 Economic Development Program Agreement (the “Chapter 380 Agreement”), a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and related transaction documents (collectively, the “Definitive El Paso Agreements”). On May 13, 2025, the Company (through a wholly owned subsidiary) acquired an approximately 20-acre tract of land where it will develop The Sunset Amphitheater in El Paso, Texas pursuant to the Definitive El Paso Agreements. Under the Definitive El Paso Agreements, the City of El Paso provided various incentives to the Company related to the development of The Sunset El Paso including contributing cash towards Venu’s development costs by issuing an eight-year, no-interest, forgivable loan to Venu (the “El Paso Loan”) in the principal amount of $8,000,000 funded by the Texas Economic Development Fund. If the Company completes construction of The Sunset El Paso within 36 months from the date Venu receives all government authorizations required to develop and construct the amphitheater (such process, “Entitlement”) and hosts a minimum of 25 events per year at The Sunset El Paso in years 3-5 of the rebate period, the El Paso Loan will be forgiven.

On May 27, 2025, for the purpose of funding the completion of a development adjacent to the Ford Amphitheater, the Company entered into Credit Agreement with Pueblo Bank & Trust, as lender (the “Lender”) for a draw down term loan (the “Construction Loan”). The Construction Loan accrues interest at 8.50% and has a term of seventy months, maturing on March 27, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). Beginning on the closing date, and continuing until no later than May 27, 2026 (the “Draw Period”), assuming that there has not been an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and that the Company has complied with all requirements under the documents and agreements governing the Construction Loan, the Company may from time-to-time request advances under the Construction Loan not to exceed an aggregate amount of $6.0 million. Obligations under the Construction Loan are secured under, and by, a deed of trust, various assets of the Company pledged pursuant to a security agreement, together with an assignment of leases and rents, and personal guaranties extended by certain Company affiliates. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $5,936,794 and $5,937,119, respectively. This mortgage is collateralized by the SHC land and buildings. This mortgage is personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman and CEO.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire certain real property in Centennial, Colorado (the “Centennial Property”) owned by Old Mill, LLC (“Old Mill”), which is partially owned by a Board member of the Company. On February 3, 2026, the Company entered into an Assignment of Purchase and Sale Agreement with Hall at Centennial LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“Hall at Centennial”), and Old Mill. Following such assignment, on February 3, 2026, Hall at Centennial closed on the purchase of the Centennial Property from Old Mill pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase price of approximately $12,612,000 for the Centennial Property was paid through a combination of cash and a promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $7,758,000 (the “Old Mill Note”). The Old Mill Note bears interest at 4.5% per annum and matures February 1, 2027. Interest accrues during the first six months and becomes due and payable on August 1, 2026, in cash or shares of Common Stock. On August 3, 2026, the Company issued 76,234 shares of Common Stock to satisfy the accrued interest obligation.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition, Hall at Centennial also entered into a bridge loan (the “Loan”) evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $4,350,000, which bears interest at 7.75% per annum and matures in early May 2026. The proceeds of the Loan were used to satisfy the cash closing delivery obligation for the acquisition of the Centennial Property (as well as to pay off Old Mill’s existing loan secured by the Centennial Property and certain outstanding taxes). On March 11, 2026, the $4,350,000 principal amount of the bridge loan, including accrued but unpaid interest, was fully repaid.

Cash Flows

The following information reflects cash flows for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026			2025
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	41,306,358		$	37,969,454
Net cash used in operating activities		(9,401,452	)		(11,484,247	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(132,875,433	)		(39,216,643	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		117,254,177			50,163,414
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	16,283,650		$	37,431,978

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $2,082,795 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreases in equity issued for interest on debt, equity-based compensation, noncash interest and debt discount, and accrued expenses, offset by an increase in accounts payable and the donation of EIGHT Brewing investment to the Foundation.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $93,658,790 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in our investment in EIGHT Brewing resulting from the donation of the investment to the Foundation.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $67,090,763 during the six months ended June 30 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the issuance of Common Stock, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants through a registered offerings during the first half of 2026, and sales under our ATM program in June 2026, partially offset by an increase in promissory note payments.

Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant judgments and estimates 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 expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other assumptions which it believes to be reasonable based on information presently available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in maintaining them.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with the FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires us to allocate the transaction price received from our customers to separate and distinct performance obligations and to recognize revenue upon the satisfaction of our performance obligations. We recognize revenue from our sale to customers of F&B products at our restaurants when the F&B products are transferred to the customer. We recognize revenue from the rental of our venues and from tickets and related fees for concerts or shows performed at our venues when the event, concert, or show occurs. Amounts collected from sponsorship agreements, which are not related to a single event, are classified as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the agreements as the benefits are provided to the sponsors. Amounts collected in advance of the event are recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. We recognize naming rights and sponsorship revenue over the life of the naming rights and sponsorship agreements.

We contracted with AEG Presents to operate Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which opened in August 2024. Within the Company’s Amphitheater Operations, its pre-sells naming rights to its amphitheater by partnering with industry-leading brands under naming-rights agreements. The Company generates net profits that are split with AEG Presents through: (i) ticket sales, fees and rebates on tickets for concerts and events held at Ford Amphitheater; (ii) parking fees; (iii) venue rentals, which may occur for a variety of corporate and personal events; (iv) food and beverage sold at the shows and events; and (v) sponsorship sales, which allow brands to advertise at the Company’s venue by showcasing their names and logos on a variety of sponsorship inventory curated for the venue and at each event the Company promotes and hosts, all of which are offset by operating expenses, artist expenses, supplies, security, utilities, insurance, overhead, etc. within the Company’s net amphitheater revenue recognition from AEG Presents.

Investments in Related Parties

We have NCI investments in related parties. We account for certain of our investments in related parties using a practical expedient to measure those investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value in accordance with ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities; ASC 325, Investments — Other; ASC 810, Consolidation; and ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Our investments in related parties are initially recognized at cost, and any income or loss resulting from such investments is recognized on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, net of operating expenses. The carrying value of our related-party investments are assessed for indicators or impairment at each balance-sheet date, such that each investment is derecognized upon the sale or impairment of our interest in the investment. See “Non-Controlling Interest and Variable Interest Entities” for further discussions of the entities that are majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company owns 526,166 Class B non-voting units or 1.2% of Roth Industries, LLC (“Roth Industries”). The Company’s Chairman and CEO is also the founder, Chairman and a significant equity holder of Roth Industries. Mitchell Roth, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also the CEO, President, and a significant equity folder of Roth Industries. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors are also minority equity owners of Roth Industries. The Company currently accounts for this investment based on ASC 325, Investments – Other, under the cost method.

The Company invested in Culinova, Inc. (formerly known as Innovate CPG, Inc.) for a total 526,166 shares (and paid a total purchase price of $5,261.66) in May 2025. As an equity holder of Roth Industries, the Company was afforded the right to acquire shares of Culinova, Inc. The Company’s Chairman and CEO is a director of Culinova, Inc. and Mitchell Roth, the Chairman and CEO. The Company’s officers and directors are also minority equity owners of Culinova, Inc. Certain of the Company currently accounts for this investment based on ASC 325, Investments – Other, under the cost method.

Roth Industries, LLC (“Roth Industries”), a related party, pays Venu licensing fees pursuant to a license granted by Venu to Roth Industries to use the trademark, tradename, and likeness of the Bourbon Brothers brand, which Venu exclusively owns, on packaged and prepared food products sold in retail grocery stores and other retail outlets where food products are sold. JW Roth, Venu’s Chairman and CEO and a principal shareholder of Venu, is also the founder and Chairman of Roth Industries and holds an approximate 16.4% membership interest in Roth Industries. Mitchell Roth, a director of Venu, is also the CEO and President of Roth Industries and holds an approximate 14.7% membership interest in Roth Industries. Certain other Company officers and directors hold an interest in Roth Industries.

Leases

Leases are accounted in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, pursuant to which leases are classified as either operating or financing leases and recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term, including any renewal options that are likely to be exercised, at the rate set forth or implied in the lease. In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, we elect to combine lease and non-lease components as permitted under ASC 842. As an accounting-policy election, we exclude short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less and expense payments on those short-term leases as they are made.

For sale-leaseback arrangements, we evaluate whether the arrangement qualifies as a sale and leaseback under ASC 842. If the arrangement qualifies as a sale, then we derecognize the asset, recognize any resulting gain or loss on the sale, and account for the lease based on its classification under ASC 842. If the arrangement does not qualify as a sale, we evaluate whether the transaction should be accounted for as a financing arrangement. In such cases, the asset is not derecognized and, accordingly, no gain or loss is recognized on the transfer. The net consideration received is recorded as a financing liability, measured based on the relative fair value allocation of proceeds using the present value of the fixed payments over the financing term, including any renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, at the rate implicit in the lease. Each lease payment is allocated between interest expense and a reduction of the financing liability using an imputed interest rate. Lease expense or a right-of-use asset is not recognized during the financing period, because the arrangement is accounted for as a financing transaction rather than a lease. The underlying asset remains on our balance sheet and is continuously evaluated for impairment throughout the term of the financing arrangement.

Warrants and Stock Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted a total of 34,443,250 warrants and stock options, with (i) warrants exercisable to acquire 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued under the terms of the transaction documents for the June 2026 sale lease-back transaction in connection with the DST Property, (ii) 21,562,500 common warrants and 4,410,000 pre-funded warrants issued as part of the March 2026 offering to finance the construction of multi-seasonal amphitheaters, and (iii) 3,470,750 stock options granted to employees and directors.

Non-Controlling Interest and Variable Interest Entities

The non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) represent capital contributions and distributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of the Company’s less-than-wholly-owned consolidated entities and are reported in equity. NCIs are evaluated by the Company and are shown as permanent equity. Net income (loss) attributable to NCIs reflects the portion of the net income (loss) of consolidated entities applicable to the holders of the NCIs in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net income (loss) attributable to NCIs is classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of consolidated net income (loss) and deducted from total consolidated net income (loss) to arrive at the net income (loss) attributable to the Company. The Company has evaluated its investments in unconsolidated entities to determine if they qualify as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company monitors these investments and, to the extent it has determined that it owns a majority of the controlling class of securities of a particular entity, analyzes the entity for potential consolidation. The Company will continually analyze investments, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such investments are VIEs and whether such VIE should be consolidated. These analyses require considerable judgment in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and could result in the consolidation of an entity that would otherwise not have been consolidated or the non-consolidation of an entity that would have otherwise been consolidated.

The Company accounts for the change in its ownership interest while it retains its controlling financial interest in its majority-owned subsidiaries or VIEs as equity transactions. The carrying value of the NCI should be adjusted to reflect the change in the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary, and differences between the fair value of the consideration received and the amount by which the NCI is adjusted should be recognized in equity attributable to the Company. This may be shown as NCI and as additional paid in capital to the Company, which, when combined, reconcile to the non-controlling issuance of shares as shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in a loss of control or deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported to net earnings. These may be majority-owned subsidiaries or variable interest entities that the Company has 100% voting control of.

During 2025, the Company bought 5,100,000 membership units of SHC. This purchase transaction did not result in a change in control of SHC. In June 2026, the Company, through the Trust, redeemed 100% of the beneficial interests in the Trust. This transaction did not result in a change in control of the Trust.

The following table shows the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, as a part of our ongoing business. Accordingly, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods presented.

Stockholders’ Equity

On September 6, 2024, Venu amended and restated is Articles of Incorporation to change its legal name to “Venu Holding Corporation” and cause all outstanding shares of its previously outstanding Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock to be converted on a one-for-one basis to shares of “Common Stock.” As of the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s authorized capital does not include Class A Voting Common Stock. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 144,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

Except for any differences in voting privileges or in the contractual rights or limitations assigned or afforded to a specific series of stock in connection with a merger, acquisition, or strategic transaction, the shares of Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock have the same preferences, limitations, and relative rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which shareholders generally are entitled to vote. Except as required by law, holders of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock have no voting power with respect to their shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, and the shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the shareholders.

On October 28, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Venu Holding Corporation Amended and Restated 2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved under the plan from 2,500,000 shares to 7,500,000 shares.

In connection with the Partner Agreement dated November 6, 2025 that the Company entered into with one of its brand partners, the Company issued 77,479 shares of Common Stock to the brand ambassador in August 2026.

In connection with the LOI Amendment dated January 5, 2026, the Company issued 333 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Aramark in exchange for cash payment of $4.995 million.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”) may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an EGC under the JOBS Act, the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act allows us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an EGC, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public-company effective dates.

Other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act for EGCs include presentation of only two years of audited financial statements in a registration statement for an initial public offering, an exemption from the requirement to provide an auditor’s report on internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, an exemption from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, along with less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We plan to take advantage of these reduced disclosure requirements and exemptions until we are no longer considered an EGC.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are therefore subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. As a smaller reporting company, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2026, Venu’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of Venu’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 due to the material weaknesses in Venu’s internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relate to the fact that Venu did not have the necessary business processes and related internal controls fully implemented to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Venu has added and continues to evaluate the need for additional controls over the accounting and financial reporting requirements, which have been implemented within the reporting period but has yet to be effective for most of the period beginning October 1, 2025. The material weaknesses will be considered remediated when such time as management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses

As of June 30, 2026, Venu has implemented controls that Venu believes will remediate the identified material weaknesses. While certain controls were fully operational for part of the year ended December 31, 2025, certain control implementations are still ongoing, with significant remediation efforts expected to be finalized by December 31, 2026. These efforts focus on enhancing financial oversight, improving the accuracy and compliance of financial operations, and strengthening our internal controls over financial reporting. The Company continues to monitor the effectiveness of these controls to ensure sustained compliance.

Key remediation actions included:

●	Entity-Level Controls: We enhanced support, oversight, and accountability over key financial reporting functions. Since February 2025, we have strengthened the capabilities of our accounting team through the addition of four qualified personnel with the skills, knowledge, and expertise to support complex accounting and financial reporting requirements. Management continues to assess and address resource needs, including the potential addition of accounting and compliance personnel and the engagement of third-party advisors, as necessary.

●	Information Technology General Controls: We implemented enhanced systems to support more reliable and accurate reporting of accounting transactions and financial statements. We are evaluating user access to ensure appropriate access permissions are in place.

●	Financial Close Process and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting: We strengthened accounting documentation and analysis, including documentation supporting account balances, estimates, significant accounting judgments, and related third-party support. We improved review and oversight procedures for financial statements, consolidations, debt, equity, and other complex accounting areas. We also strengthened processes for non-routine transactions, including additional accounting, legal, and technical accounting review, as applicable.

Despite these material weaknesses, we believe that the financial information presented in this report is materially correct and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are committed to ongoing monitoring and will continue reporting progress to the audit committee. However, full remediation of these material weaknesses requires the newly implemented controls to operate effectively over time, and we cannot provide assurance that additional weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

If Venu is unable to successfully complete its remediation efforts or favorably assess the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, Venu’s operating results, financial position, stock price, and ability to accurately report its financial results and timely file its SEC reports could be adversely affected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision of our Audit Committee. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

PART II

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.

On January 21, 2026, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the El Paso County District Court of Colorado by plaintiffs seeking the abatement and permanent injunction of alleged unlawful noise pollution at Ford Amphitheater based on allegations that the venue emits unlawful noise pollution in violation of state law. Bailey. v. Notes CS I, DST, No. 2026CV30179 (El Paso Cnty. Dist. Ct. filed Jan. 21, 2026). Asserting that the plaintiffs’ complaint fails to measure noise in accordance with applicable state law, the defendant subsidiaries filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on March 2, 2026, which the El Paso County District Court denied. The defendant subsidiaries filed an answer on June 23, 2026 and intend to vigorously defend against all claims.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this Item 1A. However, in addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), subsequent reports we have filed with the SEC since that date, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition, and operating results.
