NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Biglari Holdings Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods have been included and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The results for the interim periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Biglari Holdings Inc. is a holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in a number of diverse business activities, including property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, licensing and media, restaurants, and oil and gas. The Company’s largest operating subsidiaries are involved in the franchising and operating of restaurants. Biglari Holdings is founded and led by Sardar Biglari, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Biglari Holdings’ management system combines decentralized operations with centralized financial decision-making. Operating decisions for the various business units are made by their respective managers. All major investment and capital allocation decisions are made for the Company and its subsidiaries by Mr. Biglari.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Steak n Shake Inc., Western Sizzlin Corporation, First Guard Insurance Company, Maxim Inc., Southern Pioneer Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Biglari Reinsurance Ltd., Southern Oil Company and Abraxas Petroleum Corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The shares of Company stock attributable to our limited partner interest in The Lion Fund, L.P., and The Lion Fund II, L.P., (collectively, the “investment partnerships”) — based on our proportional ownership during this period — are considered treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheet and thereby deemed not to be included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding. However, these shares are legally outstanding.

The following table presents shares authorized, issued and outstanding on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.


	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
	Class A	Class B	Class A	Class B
Common stock authorized	500,000	10,000,000	500,000	10,000,000
Common stock issued and outstanding	211,176	2,083,140	206,864	2,068,640

The Company has applied the “two-class method” of computing earnings per share as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share”. (Class B shares are economically equivalent to one-fifth of a Class A share.) The equivalent Class A common stock applied for computing earnings per share excludes the proportional shares of Biglari Holdings’ stock held by the investment partnerships. In the tabulation below is the weighted average equivalent Class A common stock for earnings per share.

Table of Contents

Note 2. Earnings Per Share (continued)


	Second Quarter		First Six Months
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Equivalent Class A common stock outstanding	627,804	620,592	625,925	620,592
Proportional ownership of Company stock held by investment partnerships	375,384	358,832	371,423	358,088
Equivalent Class A common stock for earnings per share	252,420	261,760	254,502	262,504

Note 3. Investments

We classify investments in fixed maturity securities at the acquisition date as available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses on disposals of investments are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividends and interest earned on investments are reported as investment income by our insurance companies. We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance operating results. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as non-operating.

Investment gains for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were $9,708 and $8,421, respectively. Investment gains in the second quarter and first six months of 2025 were $2,925 and $1,340, respectively.

Note 4. Investment Partnerships

The Company reports on the limited partnership interests in investment partnerships under the equity method of accounting. We record our proportional share of equity in the investment partnerships but exclude Company common stock held by said partnerships. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. The Company records gains/losses from investment partnerships (inclusive of the investment partnerships’ unrealized gains and losses on their securities) in the consolidated statements of earnings based on our carrying value of these partnerships. The fair value is calculated net of the general partner’s accrued incentive fees. Gains and losses on Company common stock included in the earnings of these partnerships are eliminated because they are recorded as treasury stock.

Biglari Capital Corp. is the general partner of the investment partnerships. Biglari Capital Corp. is solely owned by Mr. Biglari. Under the terms of their partnership agreements, each contribution made by the Company to the investment partnerships is subject to a rolling five year lock-up period. The lock-up period can be waived by the general partner in its sole discretion.

The Company evaluates the nature of each distribution to determine whether it represents a return on investment or a return of investment. Distributions determined to be returns on investment are classified as operating cash inflows, while distributions determined to be returns of investments are classified as investing cash inflows. The Company’s determination is based on the nature of the activities that generated the distributions and other available information that is relevant.

The fair value and adjustment for Company common stock held by the investment partnerships to determine the carrying value of our partnership interest are presented below.


	Fair Value		Company Common Stock		Carrying Value
Partnership interest at December 31, 2025	$	772,585	$	618,310	$	154,275
Investment partnership gains (losses)	191,873		169,690		22,183
Contributions (net of distributions)	21,910				21,910
Changes in proportionate share of Company stock held			19,668		(19,668)
Partnership interest at June 30, 2026	$	986,368	$	807,668	$	178,700

Table of Contents

Note 4. Investment Partnerships (continued)


	Fair Value		Company Common Stock		Carrying Value
Partnership interest at December 31, 2024	$	656,266	$	454,539	$	201,727
Investment partnership gains (losses)	68,515		59,603		8,912
Distributions (net of contributions)	(4,935)				(4,935)
Changes in proportionate share of Company stock held			2,811		(2,811)
Partnership interest at June 30, 2025	$	719,846	$	516,953	$	202,893

The carrying value of the investment partnerships net of deferred taxes is presented below.


	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Carrying value of investment partnerships	$	178,700	$	154,275
Deferred tax liability related to investment partnerships	(31,985)		(20,004)
Carrying value of investment partnerships net of deferred taxes	$	146,715	$	134,271

We expect that a majority of the $31,985 deferred tax liability enumerated above will not become due until the dissolution of the investment partnerships.

The Company’s proportionate share of Company stock held by investment partnerships at cost was $471,832 and $452,164 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The carrying value of the partnership interest approximates fair value adjusted by the value of held Company stock. Fair value of our partnership interest is assessed according to our proportional ownership interest of the fair value of investments held by the investment partnerships. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities held by the investment partnerships affect our net earnings.

Gains/losses from investment partnerships recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings are presented below.


	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Gains (losses) from investment partnerships	$	35,637	$	58,504	$	22,183	$	8,912
Tax expense (benefit)	7,710		12,310		4,507		2,144
Contribution to net earnings (loss)	$	27,927	$	46,194	$	17,676	$	6,768

On December 31 of each year, the general partner of the investment partnerships, Biglari Capital Corp., will earn an incentive reallocation fee for the Company’s investments equal to 25% of the net profits above an annual hurdle rate of 6% over the previous high-water mark. Our policy is to accrue an estimated incentive fee throughout the year. The total incentive reallocation from Biglari Holdings to Biglari Capital Corp. includes gains on the Company’s common stock. Gains and losses on the Company’s common stock and the related incentive reallocations are eliminated in our financial statements.

There were no incentive reallocations accrued during the first six months of 2026 and 2025.

Note 5. Property and Equipment

	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Land	$	134,896	$	133,516
Buildings	177,502		169,307

Depletion expense related to oil and gas properties was $4,932 and $5,966 during the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

No impairment to restaurant long-lived assets was recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2026. The Company recorded an impairment to restaurant long-lived assets related to underperforming stores of $1,251 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025.

We did not record any impairments to our oil and gas assets during the second quarter and first six months of 2026 and 2025. However, if commodity prices fall below current levels, we may be required to record impairments in future periods and such impairments could be material. Further, if commodity prices decrease, our production, proved reserves, and cash flows will be adversely impacted.

Abraxas Petroleum recorded gains of $4,803 and $794 during the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and recorded gains of $4,803 and $10,117 during the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a result of selling undeveloped reserves. Abraxas may receive future royalties for each of these transactions as the reserves are developed by the respective unaffiliated parties.

Table of Contents

Note 5. Property and Equipment (continued)

Property and equipment held for sale of $560 and $1,134 are recorded in other assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The assets classified as held for sale include properties which were previously company-operated restaurants.

During the first six months of 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized net gains of $77 and $807, respectively, in connection with property sales, lease terminations and asset disposals which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions.

A reconciliation of the change in the carrying value of goodwill is as follows.


	Goodwill
Goodwill at December 31, 2025
Goodwill	$	53,868
Accumulated impairment losses	(1,300)
	52,568
Change in foreign exchange rates during the first six months of 2026	(18)
Goodwill at June 30, 2026	$	52,550

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment reviews include determining the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The key assumptions and inputs used in such determinations may include forecasting revenues and expenses, cash flows and capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate and other inputs. Significant judgment by management is required in estimating the fair value of a reporting unit and in performing impairment reviews. Due to the inherent subjectivity and uncertainty in forecasting future cash flows and earnings over long periods of time, actual results may differ materially from the forecasts. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds fair value, the excess is charged to earnings as an impairment loss. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, then the excess, limited to the carrying amount of goodwill, will be charged to earnings as an impairment loss. There was no impairment recorded by Steak n Shake for goodwill during the first six months of 2026 or 2025. We performed our annual assessment of our recoverability of goodwill related to Western Sizzlin during the second quarter. We did not record an impairment for goodwill during 2026 or 2025. An impairment of Western Sizzlin’s goodwill may be necessary if a significant decline in franchise units or company-operated units occurs. There was no impairment recorded for intangible assets during the first six months of 2026 or 2025.

Net Sales

Net sales are composed of retail sales of food through company-operated stores. Company-operated store revenues are recognized, net of discounts and sales taxes, when our obligation to perform is satisfied at the point of sale. Sales taxes related to these sales are collected from customers and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings as revenue.

Franchise Partner Fees

Franchise partner fees are composed of up to 15% of sales as well as 50% of profits. We are therefore fully affected by the operating results of the business, unlike in a traditional franchising arrangement, where the franchisor obtains a royalty fee based on sales only. We generate most of our revenue from our share of the franchise partners’ profits. An initial franchise fee of ten thousand dollars is recognized when the operator becomes a franchise partner. The Company recognizes franchise partner fees monthly as underlying restaurant sales occur.

The Company leases or subleases property and equipment to franchise partners under lease arrangements. Both real estate and equipment rental payments are charged to franchise partners and are recognized in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. During the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, restaurant operations recognized $6,482 and $5,887, respectively, in franchise partner fees related to rental income. During the first six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, restaurant operations recognized $12,694 and $11,440, respectively, in franchise partner fees related to rental income.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise royalties and fees from Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin franchisees are based upon a percentage of sales of the franchise restaurant and are recognized as earned. Franchise royalties are billed on a monthly basis. Initial franchise fees when a new restaurant opens or at the start of a new franchise term are recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise agreement.

Other Revenue

Restaurant operations sell gift cards to customers which can be redeemed for retail food sales within our stores. Gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue when issued and are subsequently recorded as net sales upon redemption. Restaurant operations estimate breakage related to gift cards when the likelihood of redemption is remote. This estimate utilizes historical trends based on the vintage of the gift card. Breakage on gift cards is recorded as other revenue in proportion to the rate of gift card redemptions by vintage.

Note 12. Income Taxes

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate for the first six months of 2026 and 2025. Our periodic effective income tax rate is affected by the relative mix of pre-tax earnings or losses and underlying income tax rates applicable to the various taxing jurisdictions.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $11,693 compared to an income tax expense of $14,171 for the second quarter of 2025. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2026 was $7,342 compared to an income tax expense of $6,263 for the first six months of 2025. The change in income tax expense between 2026 and 2025 is primarily attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. We believe, based on examination of these matters and experiences to date, that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided in our consolidated financial statements is not likely to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets

The fair values of substantially all of our financial instruments were measured using market or income approaches. Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in an actual current market exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

The hierarchy for measuring fair value consists of Levels 1 through 3, which are described below.

•Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in active markets.

•Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of the assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Pricing evaluations generally reflect discounted expected future cash flows, which incorporate yield curves for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings, estimated durations and yields for other instruments of the issuer or entities in the same industry sector.

Table of Contents

Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets (continued)

•Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities and we may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in pricing assets or liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of each class of the following assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds which are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities: The Company’s investments in equity securities are classified as Level 1 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bonds: The Company’s investments in bonds consist of both corporate and government debt. Bonds may be classified as Level l or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair values of financial assets were as follows.

There were no changes in our valuation techniques used to measure fair values on a recurring basis.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

Service Agreement

The Company is party to a service agreement with Biglari Enterprises LLC (“Biglari Enterprises”) under which Biglari Enterprises provides business and administrative related services to the Company. Biglari Enterprises is owned by Mr. Biglari.

The Company paid Biglari Enterprises $5,700 in service fees during the first six months of 2026 and 2025. The service agreement does not alter the hurdle rate connected with the incentive reallocation paid to Biglari Capital Corp.

Incentive Agreement

The Incentive Agreement establishes a performance-based annual incentive payment for Mr. Biglari contingent upon the growth in adjusted equity in each year attributable to our operating businesses. In order for Mr. Biglari to receive any incentive, our operating businesses must achieve an annual increase in shareholders’ equity in excess of 6% (the “hurdle rate”) above the previous highest level (the “high-water mark”). Mr. Biglari will receive 25% of any incremental book value created above the high-water mark plus the hurdle rate.

There were no incentive payments accrued during the first six months of 2026 and 2025.

Note 16. Business Segment Reporting

Our reportable business segments are organized in a manner that reflects how management views those business activities. Biglari Holdings’ diverse businesses are managed on an unusually decentralized basis. Our restaurant operations include Steak n Shake and Western Sizzlin. Our insurance operations include First Guard, Southern Pioneer, and Biglari Reinsurance. Our oil and gas operations include Southern Oil and Abraxas Petroleum. The Company also reports segment information for Maxim. Other business activities not specifically identified with reportable business segments are presented under corporate and other. We report our earnings from investment partnerships separately. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who is ultimately responsible for significant capital allocation decisions, evaluating operating performance and selecting the chief executive to head each of the operating segments. The cost and expense information provided is based on the information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Given the varied operating segments and differences in revenue streams and cost structures, there are wide variances in the form, content, and levels of such expense information significant to the business. With respect to insurance underwriting, the chief operating decision maker considers pre-tax underwriting earnings to allocate resources and capital, together with perceived risks and opportunities in the insurance markets that affect rates and risks of loss. There are no forecasted premiums. For most non-insurance businesses, pre-tax earnings are considered in allocating resources and capital. The chief operating decision-maker generally considers actual operating results, as well as unique perceived risks and opportunities associated with the individual operating businesses.

A disaggregation of our consolidated data for the second quarters and first six months of 2026 and 2025 is presented in the tables which follow.

Cost of food, labor costs, and occupancy and other costs are expressed as a percentage of net sales.

General and administrative, marketing, other expenses, impairments, and depreciation are expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were $45,648 and $85,995, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,210 or 2.6% and $2,478 or 2.8%, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively. Total revenue decreased due to fewer company-operated units in 2026 compared to 2025. Steak n Shake’s domestic same-store sales increased 11.9% during the second quarter of 2026.

For company-operated units, sales to the end customer are recorded as revenue generated by the Company, but for franchise partner units, only our share of the restaurant’s profits, along with certain fees, are recorded as revenue. Because we derive most of our revenue from our share of the profits, revenue will decline as we transition from company-operated units to franchise partner units.

Fees generated by our franchise partners were $23,141 during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $20,150 during the second quarter of 2025. Franchise partner fees were $43,682 and $37,289 during the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Franchise partner same-store sales increased 14.5%.

The franchise royalties and fees generated by the traditional franchising business were $3,350 during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $3,128 during the second quarter of 2025. Franchise royalties and fees during the first six months of 2026 were $6,476 as compared to $6,617 during the first six months of 2025. There were 90 Steak n Shake traditional units open on June 30, 2026, as compared to 100 units open on June 30, 2025.

The cost of food at company-operated units during the second quarter of 2026 was $15,203 or 33.3% of net sales, as compared to $14,167 or 30.2% of net sales during the second quarter of 2025. The cost of food at company-operated units during the first six months of 2026 was $27,868 or 32.4% of net sales, as compared to $26,631 or 30.1% of net sales during the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily because of Steak n Shake materially enhancing the quality of its food ingredients.

The labor costs at company-operated restaurants during the second quarter of 2026 were $13,749 or 30.1% of net sales, as compared to $14,020 or 29.9% of net sales in the second quarter of 2025. Labor costs at company-operated restaurants during the first six months of 2026 were $26,607 or 30.9% of net sales, as compared to $27,460 or 31.0% of net sales in 2025. Labor costs expressed as a percentage of net sales remained consistent with 2025.

General and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2026 were $12,348 or 16.5% of total revenue, as compared to $12,776 or 17.7% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2025. General and administrative expenses during the first six months of 2026 were $24,184 or 17.2% of total revenue, as compared to $24,704 or 18.1% of total revenue in the first six months of 2025. General and administrative expenses in 2026 remained consistent with 2025.

The Company recorded no impairment charges in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 and recorded $1,251 in the first six months of 2025 related to underperforming stores.

Interest on obligations under leases was $2,757 during 2026 versus $2,573 during 2025.

To better convey the performance of the franchise partnership model, the table below shows the underlying sales, cost of food, labor costs, and other restaurant costs of the franchise partners. We believe the unaudited franchise partner information is useful to readers, as they have a direct effect on Steak n Shake’s profitability.

Brand Licensing

Maxim’s business lies principally in licensing and media. Earnings of operations are summarized below.


	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Licensing and media revenue	$	3,507	$	2,287	$	6,768	$	3,694

Contribution to net earnings (loss)	$	(62)	$	(198)	$	54	$	(465)

Maxim’s revenue increased during the first half of 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 primarily because of its digital contest business.

Investment Gains and Investment Partnership Gains

Investment gains net of tax for the second quarter of 2026 were $7,394 as compared to $2,318 for the second quarter of 2025. Investment gains net of tax for the first six months of 2026 were $5,997 as compared to $1,030 for the first six months of 2025. Dividends earned on investments are reported as investment income by our insurance companies. We consider investment income as a component of our aggregate insurance operating results. However, we consider investment gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, as non-operating.

Earnings (loss) from our investments in partnerships are summarized below.


	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Investment partnership gains (losses)	$	35,637	$	58,504	$	22,183	$	8,912
Tax expense (benefit)	7,710		12,310		4,507		2,144
Contribution to net earnings	$	27,927	$	46,194	$	17,676	$	6,768

Investment partnership gains include gains/losses from changes in market values of underlying investments and dividends earned by the partnerships. Dividend income has a lower effective tax rate than income from capital gains. These gains and losses have caused and will continue to cause significant volatility in our periodic earnings.

The investment partnerships hold the Company’s common stock as investments. The Company’s pro-rata share of its common stock held by the investment partnerships is recorded as treasury stock even though these shares are legally outstanding. Gains and losses on Company common stock included in the earnings of the partnerships are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial results.

Investment gains and losses in 2026 and 2025 were mainly derived from our investments in equity securities and included unrealized gains and losses from market price changes during the period. We believe that investment and derivative gains/losses are generally meaningless for analytical purposes in understanding our quarterly and annual results.

Interest Expense

The Company’s interest expense is summarized below.


	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Interest expense on notes payable and other borrowings	$	5,532	$	852	$	11,183	$	1,752
Tax benefit	1,340		196		2,710		403
Interest expense net of tax	$	4,192	$	656	$	8,473	$	1,349

Corporate and Other

Corporate expenses exclude the activities of the restaurant, insurance, brand licensing, and oil and gas businesses. Corporate and other net losses during the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were $5,090 and $9,638, respectively, compared to $3,530 and $6,819 in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively. The higher corporate expenses in 2026 were primarily due to increased legal-related costs.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $11,693 compared to income tax expense of $14,171 for the second quarter of 2025. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2026 was $7,342 compared to income tax expense of $6,263 for the first six months of 2025. The change in income tax expense between 2026 and 2025 is attributable to taxes on income generated by the investment partnerships.

Financial Condition

Consolidated cash and investments are summarized below.


	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	68,394	$	268,782
Investments	274,321		69,050
Fair value of interest in investment partnerships	986,368		772,585

Less: portion of Company stock held by investment partnerships	(807,668)		(618,310)
Carrying value of cash and investments on balance sheet	$	521,415	$	492,107

Liquidity

Our balance sheet continues to maintain significant liquidity. Consolidated cash flow activities are summarized below.


	First Six Months
	2026		2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	35,280	$	57,942
Net cash used in investing activities	(238,366)		(27,161)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(18)		42
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(200,388)	$	2,045

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $22,662 as compared to 2025. The change was primarily attributable to lower returns on partnership investments during 2026.

Cash used in investing activities increased during 2026 by $211,205 as compared to 2025 primarily due to purchases of investments which were $222,793 higher in 2026.

Cash provided by financing activities increased during 2026 by $31,494 as compared to 2025. The Company had net payments on its line of credit and note payable of $8,688 offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $14,920 compared to net payments on the Company’s line of credit of $26,000 in 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements from such estimates are necessarily based on numerous assumptions involving varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty. Accordingly, the amounts currently reflected in our consolidated financial statements will likely increase or decrease in the future as additional information becomes available. There have been no material changes to critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In general, forward-looking statements include estimates of future revenues, cash flows, capital expenditures, or other financial items, and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations regarding future events and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “may,” and other similar terminology. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are all based on currently available operating, financial, and competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K and Item 1A of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise them, except as may be required by law.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Management's Remediation Efforts

Our remediation efforts previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 to address the material weakness mentioned are ongoing as we continue to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. While we believe the steps taken to date and those planned for future implementation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not completed all remediation efforts. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
