UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On September 2, 2025, BT Brands, Inc. (the “Parent”, “BT Brands” or “BT”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Aero Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Aero Velocity Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Aero”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement contemplates the eventual spinoff of BT Group, Inc., the entity holding all of BT Brands' restaurant assets and liabilities, including cash and investments, to BT Brands' stockholders of record eligible to vote at the special meetings being held to consider the merger. Management of BT Group, Inc. plans to pursue a listing for BT Group common stock.

 

The Merger contemplates that, at closing, 89% of the equity ownership will be allocated to Aero shareholders and 11% to BT Brands. At closing, the Parent will issue a total of 10,110 shares of $0.001 par value Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, with an aggregate stated value of $101,100,000, convertible into common stock at $1.48 per share, representing a total of 68,409,284 common shares. The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock carry a 50-1 as converted voting preference. The principal stockholder of Aero and its designees have committed to investing $3 million at closing with the option to invest up to $5 million of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Pro Forma financial statements reflect a minimum investment of $3 million or 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each with a $0.001 par value and a stated value of $1,000 per share, or $3 million. The Pro Forma statements anticipate the conversion of all Convertible Preferred shares to common stock including Series A-1 and Series A-2 into 68,409,284 common shares and  conversion of Series B Preferred Stock  into 1,639,344 common shares.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and notes thereto present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, to give effect to the business combination and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Aero treated as the accounting acquirer and BT Brands as the accounting acquiree, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As such, the pro forma financial information reflects the assets and liabilities of Aero at historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of BT Brands measured at estimated fair value as of the assumed acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024, give effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, gives effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on that date and combines the historical balance sheets of Aero Velocity and BT Brands as of such date.

 

BT Brands' fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2024 was a 52-week period that ended on December 29, 2024. The fiscal year to date was the 39 weeks ending September 28, 2025. References in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and notes thereto relate to the 39 and 52-week fiscal periods.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial statements, and the related notes thereto, are based on, and should be read in conjunction with:

 

 

·

The historical audited consolidated financial statements of BT Brands as of and for the year ended December 29, 2024, and the related notes, included in BT Brands’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025;

 

·

The historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BT Brands as of and for the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2025, and the related notes, included in BT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 17, 2025;

 

·

The historical audited abbreviated financial statements of Aero as of June 5, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and for the period ended June 5, 2024, and the six months ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K;

 

·

The historical audited financial statements of Aero as of December 31, 2024, and for the period from June 6, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and the related notes, included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K; and

 

·

The historical unaudited condensed financial statements of Aero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes, included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has not completed the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, as the Company finalizes valuations for tangible and intangible assets. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed.

 

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared for informational purposes only and are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by management. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Aero’s and BT Brands’ management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects that are directly attributable to the business combination, and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been if the business combination had been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to represent the combined company’s financial position or results of operations for future periods.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The Aero historical financial information has been derived from, its financial statements including the audited abbreviated financial statements as of June 5, 2024 and the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024 filed  as part of an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and from the unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (not included in this Current Report). For BT Brands, amounts are derived from condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2025, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024.

 

The historical financial statements of Aero and BT Brands have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to the accounting for the business combination under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) (“Pro Forma Transactions Adjustments”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Aero treated as the acquirer of BT Brands. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the estimated preliminary purchase consideration in the business combination has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of BT Brands based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocations of the purchase price reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have not been finalized and are based upon the best available information at the current time. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to adjustment during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, as the Company finalizes valuations for tangible and intangible assets.

Note 2 – Conforming Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those set out in Aero’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024, and for the period then ended and Aero’s unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary analysis of BT Brands’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Aero. With the information currently available, Aero’s management has determined that there were no significant accounting policy differences between Aero and BT Brands and, therefore, no adjustments were made to conform BT Brands’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Aero in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. This conclusion is subject to change, as further assessment will be performed and finalized for purchase accounting purposes.

As part of the application of ASC 805, Aero will continue to conduct a more detailed review of BT Brands’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification or adjustment of BT Brands’s results of operations or reclassification or adjustment of assets or liabilities to conform to Aero’s accounting policies and classifications. Therefore, Aero may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

a) Merger consideration

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, BT Brands' stock in the amount of $12.5 million will be effectively transferred as part of the Merger Consideration. The fair value of consideration is based on the number of equity interests BT Brands will issue to Aero Velocity shareholders in the combined entity, comprised of shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $11,100,000, and shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $90,000,000. The shares of A-1 Preferred Stock and A-2 Preferred Stock are convertible into a total of 68,409,284 common shares, representing 89% of the merged company's equity. The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into 7,510,812 common shares and carry a preferential voting right of 50 votes per share calculated on an if-converted basis, subject to a 5% ownership blocker.

 

As a result of the merger and the application of the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, the transaction will give rise to the recognition of goodwill, representing the excess of the total estimated merger consideration over the preliminary fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. The amount of goodwill recognized may change upon completion of the final allocation of the purchase price.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been adjusted to remove BT Brands’ historical shareholders’ equity including treasury shares, accumulated deficit, and additional paid-in capital prior to the merger.
