SHF Holdings, Inc.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, solely due to the below-mentioned material weaknesses, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2026.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, management identified, during the fourth quarter of 2025, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s loan documentation and expected credit loss estimation process (the “Loan Documentation Material Weakness”). This material weakness arose in connection with the Company’s initial recognition, under the Second Amended CAA effective October 1, 2025, of a stand-ready guarantee liability at fair value under ASC 460 and an expected credit loss liability under ASC 326-20. Both measurements rely on underlying CRB loan documentation maintained as part of the Company’s credit administration responsibilities under the Second Amended CAA. In connection with the year-end audit, certain loan documentation used in connection with these measurements was identified as out of date or inconsistent with the terms of the underlying loans. The Loan Documentation Material Weakness remained outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

While the Company’s valuation conclusions with respect to the stand-ready guarantee liability and the expected credit loss liability were determined to be fairly stated as of March 31, 2026, the absence of a formalized loan documentation review and maintenance process represents a control deficiency that, if not remediated, could result in a material misstatement of the Company’s indemnification liability under ASC 460 or its expected credit loss liability under ASC 326-20 in future periods.

Status of Previously Remediated Material Weakness

As also disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the previously identified material weakness related to the completeness and accuracy of account activity fee income earned on CRB deposits held at PCCU has been remediated. As of March 31, 2026, sufficient time has not yet elapsed to enable management to conclude that the related controls are operating effectively. Management will continue to monitor the operating effectiveness of these controls during 2026.

Remediation of Loan Documentation Material Weakness

Management is actively engaged in remediating the Loan Documentation Material Weakness. As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the remediation plan includes the design and implementation of a standardized loan documentation checklist intended to ensure that all relevant inputs are consistently captured and considered in the Company’s measurement of the stand-ready guarantee liability under ASC 460 and the expected credit loss liability under ASC 326-20. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company hired a consultant to review the loan program. Management expects to complete the full implementation of the remediation plan by the third quarter of 2026. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have been designed and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

A failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate past financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation activities described above with respect to the Loan Documentation Material Weakness, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
