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 issuance of 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:

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 as one 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.
