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:

2.
As per the Amended CAA, effective December

As of December 31, 2023, one loan had been classified
as nonaccrual. On December 29, 2023, the Company successfully negotiated an amendment agreement to the nonaccrual loan agreement, resulting
in the payment of all overdue amounts and restoring the loan to current status. During the second quarter of 2024, the company received
the full principal amount of the loan, along with all accrued interest.
Credit quality of indemnified loans:
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality
of the Company’s indemnified loan portfolio, management tracks credit quality indicators based on the loan payment status on monthly
basis. The Company continuously evaluates the credit quality of each indemnified loan by assessing the risk factors and assigning a risk
rating based on a variety of factors. Risk factors include property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, projected
cash flow, loan structure and exit plan, loan-to-value ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, project sponsorship, and other factors deemed
necessary. Based on a 10-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “0” through “10,” from less risk to
greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows:
Risk
rating |
|
Category |
|
Description |
| 0 |
|
Risk Free |
|
Free of repayment risk. The loan is fully guaranteed by the full faith and backing of the US Government or entirely secured by cash controlled by SHF. |
| 1 |
|
Highest Quality |
|
High caliber loan with the lowest risk of default. Significant excess cash flow after debt service and moderate to low leverage. |
| 2 |
|
Excellent |
|
High quality loan that carry’s a low risk of default. Strong cash flow and relatively few negative individual risk factors. |
| 3 |
|
Good |
|
Loans with lower-than-average level of risk. Excess cash flow and other factors contributing to the overall low level of risk in the loan. |
| 4 |
|
Average |
|
Risk factors may be mixed with some negative and some positive aspects, but the overall rating will indicate an average level of risk. |
| 5 |
|
Fair |
|
Loans in this category have the maximum level of risk that can be accepted while still recommending a new loan for origination. The loan risk factors may contain multiple negative factors, but they are generally outweighed by the positive aspects of the loan. |
| 6 |
|
Watch List |
|
There is a temporary and curable condition resulting in a lower risk rating. |
| 7 |
|
Special Mention |
|
There is a potential weakness that may result in the deterioration of the prospect of repayment that are not temporary and may require additional collection or workout efforts. |
| 8 |
|
Substandard |
|
Loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors or of the collateral pledged and have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with distinct possibility of loss. SHF may be required to advance additional funds to manage the loan. Escalated collection activities such as foreclosure have been scheduled with anticipated losses up to 20% of the outstanding balance. |
| 9 |
|
Doubtful |
|
Collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. Escalated collection activities such as foreclosure have commenced with anticipated losses from 20% to 50% of the outstanding balance. |
| 10 |
|
Loss |
|
Uncollectable loans. A complete write-off is imminent although a partial recovery may be affected in the future. |
The carrying value, excluding the CECL Reserve, of
the Company’s indemnified loans held at carrying value within each risk rating is as follows:
