Note 2 -Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC.
Refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The Company has included disclosures below regarding basis of presentation and other accounting policies that (i) are required to be disclosed quarterly, (ii) have material changes or (iii) the Company views as critical as of the date of this report.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial and do not include any adjustments that might result from the below mentioned going concern and liquidity matters.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, statements of shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2025, or other interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions to Form 10-Q.
**Consolidation **
The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SHF Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Material estimates that are particularly subject to change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, allowance for deferred taxes, useful lives of intangibles and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Liquidity refers to our ability to meet expected cash obligations, including operating costs, interest payments, and general business expenditures. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $247,318 and a net working capital deficit of $7,381,312. We also had an accumulated deficit of $122,513,459 and cash used of $1,815,338 in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Pursuant to ASC 205-40,Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, we evaluated whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on current financial projections, we believe substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management projects that the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations, including making required interest payments under the Amended PCCU Note, see Note 9, beyond October 2025. The total outstanding balance under the Amended PCCU Note is $10,748,408. PCCU holds a senior security interest in all of the Company’s assets other than the NASDAQ listing. In the event of a payment default, and if such default is not cured within the applicable grace period, PCCU may exercise its rights under the security agreement, which could include accelerating the debt and pursuing remedies that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial position.
The Company continues to experience reductions in depository activity, loan interest income, and fee revenue, as well as increased legal expenses related to ongoing shareholder and former employee litigation. These factors have further constrained liquidity and heightened the uncertainty surrounding our ability to sustain operations.
The Company entered into a purchase loan agreement with PCCU on July 31, 2025, for the sale of a loan receivable of $385,642 as of June 30, 2025 to PCCU. On July 31, 2025, the Company received $384,527 from PCCU for the sale of the loan, see Note 18, Subsequent Events.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, our stockholders’ deficit of approximately $17.9 million is $20.4 million below the $2.5 million minimum equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(b)(1). We received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and submitted a compliance plan on May 22, 2025. Nasdaq confirmed receipt of our compliance plan but has provided no additional commentary as of the date of issuanceof the financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance within the allowed period.
Notwithstanding these financial conditions, the Company does not anticipate any material impact to services provided to its cannabis-related business (“CRB”) clients, whose deposits are maintained with the Company’s contracted financial institutions. However, these developments could ultimately result in changes to the Company’s ownership structure.
Management’s Plan Related to Going Concern
In response to the liquidity challenges and the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management has implemented and is pursuing a series of initiatives intended to improve the Company’s financial condition and operating flexibility.
The Company has undertaken several operational and financial restructuring measures, including:
| ● | Strategic partnerships aimed at expanding its service offerings to cannabis-related businesses; |
| ● | Renegotiating terms under its Amended PCCU Note; |
| ● | Offering stock-based compensation in lieu of cash to conserve liquidity while continuing to attract and retain key personnel and vendors; |
| ● | Restructuring its employee base to align staffing with current operating needs; and |
| ● | Adjusting Board of Directors’ compensation to further align interests with shareholders through equity incentives. |
In addition, the Company is actively engaged in discussions with potential investors, lenders, acquirers, investment banks, and strategic partners to secure additional capital through debt and equity financing or other strategic alternatives. Management is also exploring the potential use of its Nasdaq listing as part of a broader strategy that may include digital assets or treasury-related partnerships. These discussions remain preliminary, and no assurance can be given that any such transaction will materialize.
While these plans are factored and heighted to alleviate the conditions giving rise to the going concern uncertainty, there can be no assurance that they will be successfully executed, or that any financing will be secured on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to implement these plans or obtain sufficient funding, it may be required to curtail operations or pursue other strategic alternatives. The Company is closely monitoring its cash flows, reducing discretionary expenditures, and prioritizing liquidity preservation while continuing to assess all available strategic options.
Management remains committed to executing its business plan while addressing the Company’s liquidity needs in a timely and prudent manner.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, and investments with maturities of three months or less.
***Revenue Recognition ***
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
Revenue from investment income consists primarily of fees earned on deposit accounts such as bank account charges, onboarding income, account activity fee income and other miscellaneous fees. Revenue is recorded at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, and no contingencies exist
Revenue from account fee income is recognized when the Company fulfills its service obligations, and include fees charged for financial services such as account maintenance, transaction processing, and other related services.
Revenue from interest on loans is recognized over the loan period as earned. PCCU utilizes a fixed percentage fee structure, under which the Company receives a share of interest income from CRB-related loans.
Revenue from investment income is generated based on interest earned on daily deposit balances maintained with financial institutions***.***In addition, revenue is recognized from the Company’s Master Program Agreement. The Master Program Agreement is a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to implement and utilize the Safe Harbor Program.
Stock Compensation
The Company measures all equity-based payment arrangements to employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. The Company’s stock compensation cost is measured based on the fair value at the grant date of the stock-based award. It is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on its measurement date using either the current market price of the stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model, whichever is most appropriate. The Black-Scholes valuation model incorporates assumptions such as expected term of the instrument, volatility of the Company’s future share price, risk-free interest rate, future dividend yields, by reference to the underlying terms of the instrument, and the Company’s experience with similar instruments. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.
The expected volatility is based upon the Company’s historical stock price. The risk-free interest rates are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the awards’ expected lives. The expected term of the options granted is calculated based on the simplified method by taking the average of contractual term and vesting period of the awards. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid dividends and does not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
**Segment Reporting **
The Company operates asone reportable segment under Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 280, Segment Reporting. The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Concentration of Risk
Customers consist of financial institutions providing services to cannabis related business “CRBs”. Revenues are concentrated in the United States of America.
Currently, substantially all deposits are maintained at PCCU, and all transmissions of funds to or from these deposit accounts are handled directly by PCCU. The Company intends to expand our relationships with other financial institutions that similarly hold the CRB deposit accounts and handle transmissions of funds to and from the accounts. Although we do not directly hold the deposit accounts, the Company believes that account retention is a measure of our ability to efficiently and compliantly onboard, validate and monitor CRB accounts.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted Standards Income Taxes
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU requires public business entities to disclose in their annual rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about income taxes paid, including certain disclosures that would be disaggregated by jurisdiction and other categories. This ASU is effective for the year after December 15, 2024. Early adoption would be permitted. The Company has prospectively adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements: Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. Since the Concept Statements are not considered authoritative and do not establish GAAP, the ASU eliminates references to these statements from the codification. The amendments are effective for public entities for the years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for the year beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has prospectively adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 - Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This standard clarifies whether profits interests and similar awards fall within the scope of stock-based compensation guidance as defined in ASC Topic 718, introducing examples to demonstrate this. The ASU includes scenarios where profits interest awards are classified as equity instruments or liability awards and situations where they fall outside ASC Topic 718, being accounted for under ASC Topic 710. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has prospectively adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Standards Pending to be Adopted
In November 2024, ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, was issued and requires business entities to disaggregate certain income statement expense captions in the footnotes of the financial statements. Specifically, entities must provide disclosures that separately present expenses related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion (including depreciation, depletion, and amortization for oil and gas producing activities). While this ASU does not change the presentation of expense captions on the face of the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, it requires detailed disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for the year beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
In November 2024, ASU 2024-04 — Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instrument. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. If an entity early adopts in an interim reporting period, it must adopt as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). FASB issued this update to clarify the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendment in this update applies to all public business entities but only potentially affects non-calendar year-end entities. The amendment in this update amends the effective date of Update 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of update is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
The Company will continue to monitor the development of these standards and intends to adopt them in accordance with their respective effective dates. Additional disclosures will be provided in future filings as the Company finalizes its assessment of these standards’ impacts.
Note 3 -Deferred Consideration
On November 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first Amendment to the Merger Agreement with Rockview Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Abaca”) and other parties. The Merger Agreement included a $30 million payment through a mix of cash and stock, including $9 million in cash over three installments and 105,000 Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), alongside deferred stock considerations based on a 10-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) formula.
A Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated October 26, 2023, introduced deferred stock consideration of 291,791 shares of Common Stock at a recalculated value of $40.00 per share. No changes were made to the cash payments. Additionally,250,000 stock warrants at $40.00 per share were issued, and a third-anniversary consideration of $1.5 million was introduced, payable in cash or Common Stock with a floor value of $40.00 per share, at the Company’s discretion. Given the Company’s financial condition, the Company currently intends to issue 37,500 unregistered shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash, computed using the floor value.
Funds are being held by the registry of the Denver County District Court in accordance with a court-approved motion described further in Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies.
The adjustments and changes to deferred consideration have been valued and recorded according to ASC 815 in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The change in the amount of deferred consideration from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, is as follows:
| Cash Considerations | Third Anniversary Consideration Payment | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance, January 1, 2024 | $2,889,792 | $810,000 | $3,699,792 |
| Fair value adjustment | 126,551 | (488,000) | (361,449) |
| Balance, December 31, 2024 | 3,016,343 | 322,000 | 3,338,343 |
| Fair value adjustment | 114,960 | (235,000) | (120,040) |
| Balance, June 30, 2025 | $3,131,303 | $87,000 | $3,218,303 |
The fair market value of the Abaca third anniversary payment consideration was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation. The valuation was performed by the Company as of June 30, 2025, and by a third-party prior for prior periods.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs as it relates to the private placement warrants, public warrants, third anniversary payment consideration and Abaca warrants as of their measurement dates:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $2.17 | $4.29 |
| Payment date | 10/15/2025 | 10/15/2025 |
| Third anniversary consideration | $1,500,000 | $1,500,000 |
| Risk free interest rate | 4.4% | 4.2% |
| Market discount rate | 5.8% | 5.8% |
| Remaining term in years | 0.25 | 0.75 |
| Expected volatility | 82.8% | 86.2% |
Note 4 -Goodwill and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company recorded a full impairment of its goodwill and Finite-lived intangible assets, derived predominately from the Abaca Merger, as of December 31, 2024. As a result, no impairment charges have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Finite-lived intangible assets
The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually on December 31 unless any events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets is less than its carrying value.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not perform an interim impairment assessment of its assets, as no triggering events were identified. Accordingly, no additional impairment charges were recognized during the reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2024, amortization expense and impairment of finite-lived intangible assets were $630,863 and $3,090,881, respectively,
In accordance with the Company’s established policy, an annual impairment review of finite-lived intangible assets was conducted on December 31, 2024. The recoverability test compared the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset group to its carrying amount. As the undiscounted cash flows were determined to be lower than the carrying amount, the Company performed a fair value assessment using a Discounted Cash Flow analysis. The results indicated that the fair value of the asset group was below its carrying amount, leading to full impairment charges of $0.05 million for market-related intangible assets, $0.05 million for customer relationships, and $2.99 million for developed technologies.
As a result, no amortization or impairment charges have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Note 5 -Loans Receivable
The Company’s loans receivable, which is classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025, is comprised of a commercial real estate loan and is stated at the lower of cost or fair value. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the loan is performing, with no allowance for credit losses recorded.
The following table summarizes the commercial real estate loans receivable balances:
| June 30, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial real estate loans receivable, gross | $385,642 | $392,186 | |

The Company’s loan receivable was sold to PCCU in July 2025. The Company reflected this asset as held for sale in the condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet.
See Note 19, Subsequent Events for the sale of the commercial real estate loan to PCCU
Note 6 -Indemnification Liability
As per the Amended PCCU CAA, see Note 8 Related Party, effective December 31, 2024, the Company no longer serves as a guarantor of credit losses to PCCU, accordingly the indemnity liability on loans funded by PCCU was reduced to $0 as of December 31, 2024.
Prior to the Amended PCCA CAA, PCCU funded loans through a third-party vendor. SHF earned the associated interest and paid PCCU a loan hosting fee at an annual rate of 0.35% of the outstanding loan principal funded and serviced by PCCU, and 0.25% of the outstanding loan principal serviced by SHF. SHF had agreed to indemnify PCCU for losses on certain PCCU loans. The indemnity liability reflected SHF management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent under the agreement as of the balance sheet date.
The provision for loan losses (benefit) consists of the following activity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

Note 7 -Revenue
The Company disaggregated revenue by type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 is as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Account fee income | $1,009,730 | $1,681,596 |
| Loan interest income | 555,971 | 1,836,092 |

| Safe Harbor Program income | 38,460 | 38,460 |
| Total | $3,777,686 | $8,088,334 |
Account fee income is generated from businesses maintaining accounts with the Company’s financial institution partners and includes deposit account fees, account activity fees, and onboarding income. These fees are recognized periodically in accordance with the fee schedule established with financial institution partners. The Company also earns income from outsourced support services provided to financial institutions offering banking solutions to the cannabis industry, with revenue recognized based on usage as specified in the agreements.
Loan interest income includes interest earned on both direct loans and loans under the PCCU CAA, which were indemnified until December 31, 2024. Following the elimination of the indemnification liability upon the execution of the amended PCCU CAA on December 31, 2024, the indemnified status was removed. Under the Amended PCCU CAA, the Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU has been calculated using a loan yield allocation formula that incorporates the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s website, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU.
Investment income is derived from interest earned on the daily deposit balances of cannabis businesses held with the Company’s financial institution partners and is recognized monthly based on the average net daily deposit balance.
Revenue from PCCU is as follows:
| Three Months Ended · Six months ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

Note 8 -Related Party Transactions
PCCU is considered a related party as it holds a significant ownership interest in the Company, is our most significant financial institution customer, serves as the Company’s sole lending financial institution, is the counterparty to the PCCU Note, and is where we maintain the majority of our deposits. The agreements between PCCU and the Company are as follows:
Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “PCCU CAA”)
On March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into the PCCU CAA, which was subsequently amended and restated on December 31, 2024. This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of lending and account-related services, governing the relationship between the Company and PCCU. The PCCU CAA outlined the application, underwriting, loan approval, and foreclosure processes for loans issued by PCCU to CRBs (as defined below), as well as the loan servicing and monitoring responsibilities of both parties.
The PCCU CAA includes procedures to be followed in the event of a loan default to ensure that neither the Company nor PCCU takes title to, or possession of, any cannabis-related assets, including real property that may have served as collateral for loans funded by PCCU under the agreement. A default by either the Company or PCCU occurs in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or an inability to pay debts in the ordinary course of business. If a default occurs, no services will be provided under the agreement.
Under the PCCU CAA, PCCU had the right to receive monthly fees for managing loans. For SHF-serviced loans (CRB loans provided by PCCU but primarily handled by SHF), a yearly fee of 0.25% of the remaining loan balance was applied. For loans both financed and serviced by PCCU, a yearly fee of 0.35% on the outstanding balance was charged. These fees were calculated based on the average daily balance of each loan for the preceding month.
Additionally, until December 31, 2024, the Company was obligated under the PCCU CAA to indemnify PCCU from certain default-related loan losses, as fully defined in the agreement.
Furthermore, the PCCU CAA outlined certain fees to be paid to the Company for specified account-related services, including cannabis-related income such as loan origination fees, interest income on CRB-related loans, participation fees, servicing fees, investment income, account activity fees, processing fees, and other revenue. These fees were set at $26.08-$28.69 in 2024.
Regarding CRB deposits held at PCCU, investment and interest income earned on these deposits (excluding interest income on loans funded by PCCU) was shared at a ratio of 25% to PCCU and 75% to the Company. Additionally, PCCU maintained its CRB-related deposits to total assets ratio at 60%, unless otherwise dictated by regulatory, regulator, or policy requirements. The initial term of the PCCU CAA was two years, with a one-year automatic renewal, unless either party provided a one hundred twenty-day written notice prior to the end of the term.
The Amended PCCU CAA extends the term through December 31, 2028, with automatic renewals every two years unless terminated with 12 months’ notice.
The key changes under the Amended PCCU CAA compared to the CAA include:
| ● | The indemnification obligations have been eliminated, meaning the Company is no longer required to indemnify PCCU for any loan-related losses under either the original or future agreements. |
| ● | The prior fee structure has been replaced by an asset hosting fee structure. Previously, the Company paid various fees to PCCU, including per-account servicing, investment hosting, and loan servicing fees. Under the new structure, the Company will pay a fixed asset hosting fee calculated as 0.01 multiplied by the average daily balance of account relationships generated by the Company, divided by the number of days in the year, and multiplied by the number of days in the applicable month. |
| ● | Provides the Company with all investment income earned on CRB funds invested on its behalf by PCCU, effectively eliminating the investment hosting fees that were previously payable. |
| ● | The Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU are now calculated using a loan yield allocation formula that incorporates the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s website, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU. Before the amendment, the Company received the entire interest income from the loan and was responsible for paying loan servicing fees of 0.25% of the loan balance. The amendment removes the loan servicing fees and indemnification liability, while introducing the interest income split between the Company and PCCU. |
| ● | There are penalties charged to the Company if it fails to maintain the agreed Loan-to-Share (LTS) Ratio. If the LTS Maximum (60%) is over for over 90 days, the asset hosting fee increases from 1.00% to 1.10% of the average daily balance (ADB) until compliance is restored. If the LTS Minimum (27.5%) is breached, the Company must pay a quarterly adjustment fee based on the shortfall. Additionally, if the LTS Ratio exceeds 100% for 90 days, the Company incurs an interest charge at the Federal Funds Rate + 120 bps, calculated daily and paid monthly. |
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s incremental loan capacity was approximately $6.2 million. The lending capacity limit is based upon an average 30 day CRB daily average related deposits.

| Total | $10,748,408 | $11,004,173 | |
On March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into definitive transaction documents to settle and restructure the deferred obligation following the Business Combination under which the Company has issued the five-year Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “PCCU Note”) in the principal amount of $14,500,000 bearing interest at 4.25% and a Security Agreement. PCCU has a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The PCCU Note amount was to be paid in 54 installments of $295,487 each, covering both principal and interest, starting from November 5, 2023. For the period between March 29, 2023, and October 5, 2023, the Company had paid only the interest portion.
On January 29, 2025, the Company and PCCU agreed to a Letter Agreement to defer principal payments on the PCCU Note for February and March 2025, with interest payments continuing. On March 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Amended PCCU Note, replacing the original note dated March 29, 2023, and the letter agreement. The Amended PCCU Note has a principal balance of $10,748,408, accruing interest at 4.25% annually, with interest-only payments until January 5, 2027, and full repayment by October 5, 2030. The agreement maintains PCCU’s first-priority security interest and on an annual basis a covenant for debt-service coverage ratio of 1.4 to 1.0.
On an annual basis, the Company is required to assess debt covenants. In the event of a payment default, and if such default is not cured within the applicable grace period, PCCU may exercise its rights under the security agreement, which could include accelerating the debt and pursuing remedies that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial position.
The repayment schedule for the outstanding principal balance as on June 30, 2025, is as follows:

Note 10. -Leases
The Company has a non-cancellable operating lease for its corporate office space in Golden, Colorado which qualifies for capitalization under ASC 842 Leases. The Company did not renew the lease, for Little Rock, Arkansas location. As of June 30, 2025, the Golden, Colorado lease has a remaining term of approximately four years and includes an option to extend for up to ten additional years; however, the extension option is not recognized as part of the right-of-use asset as it is not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has elected not to capitalize leases with terms of one year or less. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net right-of-use asset “ROU” recorded under the operating lease was $625,355 and $703,524, respectively, and the corresponding lease liability was $794,493 and $874,834, respectively.
The Company analyzes contracts above certain thresholds to identify leases and lease components. Lease and non-lease components are not separated for facility space leases. The Company uses its contractual borrowing rate to determine lease discount rates when an implicit rate is not available. Total lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, included in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, is as follows:

Note 11 -Earnings Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income (attributable to common stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For the Company’s diluted income per share calculation, the Company uses the “if-converted method” method for preferred stock and convertible debt and the “treasury stock method” method for warrants and options. If the Company has a net loss, dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

Certain share-based equity awards and warrants were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because inclusion of these awards would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The following table reflects the awards that were excluded.

Excluded from the computation of income (loss) per share is the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The shareholders are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Note 12 -Forward Purchase Agreement
On June 16, 2022, the Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) with Midtown East Management NL, LLC (“Midtown East”), which subsequently assigned obligations to purchase in aggregate 190,243 shares of Common Stock each to Verdun Investments LLC (“Verdun”) and Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC – Series 1 (“Vellar”) through assignment and novation agreements (collectively the “FPA Holders”). Under the FPA, the FPA Holders agreed not to exercise their stock redemption rights in exchange for $7.6 million payable in stock or cash at the option of the Company on or before September 28, 2025 (the “FPA Liability”). The current value of the FPA Liability is reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as the “forward purchase derivative liability,” and is reduced by certain pre-maturity sales of the Common Stock executed by the FPA Holders.
The FPA provides the Company with the right to receive the Reset Price, which is $25.00 per share as of June 30, 2025, if the FPA Holders elect to sell their shares prior to the agreement’s maturity on September 28, 2025. Upon sale, the FPA Holders are required to remit the Reset Price per share sold to the Company, and they retain any proceeds in excess of the Reset Price. If the shares are not sold before maturity, the Company will receive the shares back. The Company does not have control over the timing of any share sales and does not share in any price appreciation.
The Reset Price is subject to monthly downward adjustment to the lowest of (a) the prior Reset Price, (b) $200.00, and (c) the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s shares over the ten most recent trading days of the prior month, but not below $100.00. Additionally, if the Company issues shares or convertible securities at a price lower than the then-current Reset Price, the Reset Price is adjusted to match that lower offering price. As of June 30, 2025, the Reset Price is $25.00.
If the FPA Holders sell shares prior to maturity, the Company will receive $25.00 per share sold. On March 31, 2025, the Company’s stock closed at $4.2945 per share. No shares have been sold by the FPA Holders during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Management now believes it is highly improbable that the FPA Holders will sell any shares prior to the September 28, 2025, settlement date, as selling is not in their best interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reclassified the forward purchase receivable balance to additional paid-in capital, as the arrangement met the conditions for equity classification under ASC 815-40 and ASC 480.
The reconciliation statement of the Common Stock held by the FPA holders is as follows:

Note 13 -Warrant Liabilities
Public and Private Placement Warrants
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had 287,500 public warrants and 13,205 private placement warrants, outstanding, respectively, each with an adjusted exercise price of $230 per share.
The public and private placement warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Common Stock.
The public and private placement warrants are exercisable and expire on September 28, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
Redemption of warrants will become effective when the price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $360.00, per share. Once the warrants become redeemable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
|---|---|
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $360.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Common Stock and equity-linked securities) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing no earlier than the date the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day before the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
If and when the warrant becomes redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption rights; this is also the case if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
The private placement warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants were not transferable, assignable or saleable, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private placement warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
PIPE Warrants
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 51,125 PIPE warrants outstanding.
The PIPE warrants have an adjusted exercise price of $100.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid in cash except if the shares underlying the warrants are not covered by an effective registration statement after the six-month anniversary of the closing date, in which case cashless exercise is permitted. The PIPE Warrants are also subject to adjustment for other customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits and similar corporate actions. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years following the Closing, or September 28, 2027. After the exercise of a PIPE Warrant, the Company may be required to pay certain penalties if it fails to deliver the Common Stock within a specified period of time.
Abaca Warrants
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had 250,000 Abaca warrants to purchase common stock.
The 250,000 Abaca warrants have an exercise price of $40.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid in cash. An Abaca Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing 1 year of the Effective Date and terminating five (5) years from the effective date of the registration statement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Abaca Warrant when exercised, in whole or in part, in cash in lieu of issuing shares of common stock underlying the Warrant. The Company may elect to pay the Registered Holder in cash in the amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of exercise and the warrant price of $40.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock. The Company commits to promptly registering shares of Common Stock issued upon Abaca Warrant exercises if required by law, ensuring these shares can be sold without restrictions. This registration must be filed within 45 days of receiving a notification of such a requirement, with failure to do so constituting a default. The Company will endeavor to keep the registration effective until the Warrants expire. If the registration is not effective within one year, Abaca Warrant holders may exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis, receiving shares based on a defined fair market value calculation. This process aims to facilitate the straightforward and lawful exercise of the Abaca Warrants, ensuring the shares issued are readily tradable without the need for restrictive legends.
Note 14 -Financial Instruments
The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might highly be subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period.
There were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring as of June 30, 2025 and December 31,2024
The following tables present the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments on a non-recurring basis, by the level of valuation inputs in the fair value hierarchy, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Legal and Related Matters
The Company is involved in, or has been involved in, arbitrations or various other legal proceedings that arise from the normal course of its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable outcomes could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheets and cash flows due to defense costs, and divert management resources. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and other proceedings. With respect to the cases described below, the Company evaluates the associated developments on a regular basis and accrues a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Abaca legal case in Denver
On October 17, 2024, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the Denver County District Court, Case No. 2024CV33187, against Daniel Roda, Gregory W. Ellis, and James R. Carroll (the “Defendants”), each of whom is a former shareholder of Rockview Digital Solutions, Inc. (d/b/a Abaca), which the Company acquired in October 2022. The action relates to a $3.0 million contingent merger consideration payment due under the merger agreement and its subsequent amendments. The Company initiated litigation to clarify the appropriate party authorized to receive the payment following internal disputes among the former Abaca shareholders.
On November 21, 2024, the Company deposited the $3.0 million payment into the registry of the Denver County District Court in accordance with a court-approved motion, and the funds remain held by the court pending resolution of the dispute.
On December 19, 2024, the Defendants filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging breach of contract and related causes of action, and a third-party claim was asserted against a member of the Company’s board of directors. As of the date of these financial statements, no trial date has been set, and the case remains in the pleading stage.
On January 16, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all counterclaims filed against the Company.
On April 18, 2025, the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (i) dismissed Gregory W. Ellis as a counter-plaintiff and third-party plaintiff because Mr. Ellis lacked standing to bring any claim, and (ii) denied a third-party’s request to intervene in the litigation. The remainder of the case will proceed to the discovery phase of litigation.
The Company is vigorously defending against the counterclaims and continues to monitor the proceedings and potential financial exposure. Based on the current status of the litigation, and in consultation with legal counsel, the Company has determined that no accrual for loss is required under ASC 450-20 as of June 30, 2025.
The Company made a settlement offer to a former employee related to certain employment matters and accrued $300,000 as of March 31, 2025. The settlement offer was accepted and finalized in the third quarter of 2025. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will pay $100,000 in cash over a 12-month period beginning in the third quarter of 2025. In addition, the Company issued 89,308 shares of Common Stock to the former employee, representing a $200,000 portion of the total settlement. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects to reduce the accrued liability by $200,000 to reflect the settlement of that portion through equity issuance.
