BT Brands, Inc.

During the period leading up to the filing deadline, management and counsel devoted substantial time and resources to matters relating to the Registrant’s previously disclosed proposed business combination with Aero Velocity Inc., including efforts directed toward the effectiveness of the related registration statement, the subsequent termination of the merger agreement, and the revision of the Registrant’s quarterly report to reflect the termination of the transaction and related disclosure updates. As a result, the Registrant requires additional time to complete its review of the Form 10-Q, including revisions to remove or update transaction-related disclosure, address the termination of the merger agreement and related matters, review transaction-related expenses and contingencies, and complete the related financial statement and MD&A review. The Registrant expects to file the Form 10-Q within the extension period provided by Rule 12b-25.

ATTACHMENT IN RESPONSE TO PART IV, QUESTION 3:

The Registrant expects to report a significant change in results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The Registrant currently expects to report a net loss of approximately $750,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026, compared to a net loss of approximately $330,000 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an unrealized loss on marketable securities of approximately $425,000 during the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026. These amounts are preliminary and remain subject to completion of the Registrant’s quarterly close and review procedures.

The Registrant also incurred transaction-related professional fees and other expenses in connection with its previously disclosed proposed business combination with Aero Velocity Inc., which was terminated after the end of the quarter.
