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 for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC.

 

Refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

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’ equity, 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, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2026 or other interim periods.

 

The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SHF Holdings, Inc. and its 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

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.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Liquidity refers to our ability to meet anticipated cash demands, including servicing debt, funding operations, maintaining assets, and covering other routine business expenses. Our primary cash outflows include operating costs, and general business expenditures. The sources of our liquidity include the cash inflows generated from operational performance, the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit (the “ELOC”), and the sale of our investment in preferred shares of Aditxt, Inc. (“ADTX”), a publicly traded company.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no secured debt, cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million, working capital of $4.7 million, and total stockholders’ equity of $6.1 million, which exceeds the minimum Nasdaq requirements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, including an operating loss of $2.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and an accumulated deficit of $126.2 million as of June 30, 2026. In addition, it is reasonably possible but not probable that a material adverse effect may result from the litigation matter discussed in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies. These conditions, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has developed and is implementing a series of measures intended to preserve liquidity and support the Company’s ability to meet its obligations during the look-forward period:

 

Strengthened Revenue Profile: The Second Amended Commercial Alliance Agreement (“Second Amended CAA”) with PCCU, effective October 1, 2025, increased the Company’s share of loan program income from approximately 35% to up to 65% of the loan program income generated by PCCU’s CRB loan portfolio, improving the recurring revenue profile of the Company’s core business on a prospective basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, this change increased loan program income by approximately $0.6 million comparatively. In addition, the asset hosting fee structure transitioned from a flat rate to a tiered marginal rate schedule based on average daily deposit balances, with rates ranging from 0.50% on the first $25 million to 1.25% on balances above $125 million, resulting in estimated annual savings of approximately $0.3 million compared to the rates contained in the First Amended CAA. The Company is also exploring strategic relationships with additional financial institutions.
   
Access to Additional Capital: On September 17, 2025, the Company entered into the ELOC with an institutional investor (the “ELOC Investor”), under which the Company may, at its sole discretion and subject to customary conditions, sell up to $150.0 million of newly issued shares of Common Stock to the investor party thereto. The ELOC expires on September 17, 2028. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company raised $1.1 million from the use of the ELOC. The Company’s continued ability to access the ELOC is subject to a number of conditions, including the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined on page F-27 in subsection “Equity Line of Credit and Related Series B Redemption Obligation”), and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to draw the full amount of the commitment. See Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity. There is no assurance that the Company can use the ELOC due to the current stock price.
   
Expense Management: The Company is making strategic investments in marketing, lending and system development. Management has identified specific actionable cost reductions that are within its direct operational control and that it would implement should operating conditions deteriorate below base-case expectations, including pausing or restructuring said strategic investments.
   
Cash Flow Monitoring: Management maintains a 52-week rolling cash flow projection that tracks anticipated expenses, revenues, and ending cash balances against budget. Cash positions are reviewed on a bi-weekly basis to ensure the Company maintains adequate liquidity to fund operations.

 

Notwithstanding the measures described above, the Company continues to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, and the Company’s ability to access the ELOC and to execute on its expense-management plans involves elements outside of management’s sole control. Accordingly, management has concluded that management’s plans, considered in the aggregate, do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Material estimates particularly subject to change in the near term include the Company’s financial indemnification liability, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments including warrant liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances due from financial institutions, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million consisted primarily of (i) approximately $4.6 million invested in a government money market fund and (ii) approximately $1.1 million held in operating accounts, substantially all of which was on deposit with Partner Colorado Credit Union (“PCCU”), a related party (see Note 9, Related Party Transactions.) The Company’s investment in a government money market fund represents operating cash of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SHF, LLC.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services, following the five-step model under ASC 606.

 

 

Account Fee Income

 

Account fee income consists of fees earned from cannabis-related businesses maintaining accounts with the Company’s financial institution partners, including deposit account fees, account activity fees, and onboarding income. These fees are recognized periodically in accordance with the fee schedules established with financial institution partners. Account fee income also includes merchant income earned through referral arrangements with third-party payment processors under which the Company receives a percentage of net revenue generated by referred merchants, recognized as earned.

     
 

Investment Income

 

Investment income represents the Company’s share of interest earned on net investable cannabis-related business deposit balances held at PCCU and is recognized monthly based on the average net daily deposit balance. Under the First Amended Commercial Alliance Agreement (“Amended CAA”), effective January 1, 2025, investment income was reduced by an investment hosting fee paid to PCCU.

     
 

Loan Program Income

 

Loan program income represents the Company’s allocated share of interest earned on cannabis-related business loans originated by PCCU. Under the Amended CAA, the Company’s share of loan program income was determined by a loan yield allocation formula that incorporated the Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Rate published by the Federal Reserve, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the allocation between the Company and PCCU. Under this formula, the Company received approximately 35% of net interest income on applicable loans, with the remainder retained by PCCU.

 

Effective October 1, 2025, the Second Amended CAA superseded the yield allocation formula and replaced it with a fixed split under which the Company receives up to 65% of net interest income on applicable loans, with PCCU retaining the remaining 35%. The fixed split is not subject to variation by risk rating or risk-based pricing methodology. If the Company determines that an adjustment to its indemnification obligation is required to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, the Company’s share of loan program income will be adjusted by a corresponding amount on a go-forward basis for the applicable loans.

     
 

Master Program Agreement Revenue

 

The Company licenses its proprietary Safe Harbor Program to financial institutions under a Master Program Agreement, which grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform. Revenue under these agreements is recognized over the term of the arrangement as services are provided.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures all equity-based payment arrangements to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The grant-date fair value of stock-based awards is determined using either the quoted market price of the Company’s Common Stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model, as appropriate for the instrument type.

 

Compensation cost for service-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For performance-based awards, compensation cost is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

 

For non-employee awards settled in equity, including shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) and warrants issued to consultants, the Company measures the fair value at the grant date and recognizes the cost over the service period. Where awards are partially vested at issuance, the vested fair value is recorded as a prepaid asset and amortized to expense over the remaining service period.

 

The Black-Scholes option model incorporates the following assumptions: expected term (using the simplified method as the average of contractual term and vesting period); expected stock price volatility (based on the Company’s historical stock price); risk-free interest rates (based on U.S. Treasury rates for maturities approximating expected lives); and expected dividend yield of zero (as the Company has not paid dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future). Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.

 

Warrant Liabilities and Derivative Instruments

 

The Company evaluates all financial instruments, including warrants and conversion features, at issuance to determine whether they should be classified as equity or liabilities under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

 

Warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification are recorded as liabilities at fair value on the date of issuance. These warrant liabilities are remeasured at fair value at each subsequent reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

 

Preferred Stock - Classification and Measurement

 

The Company evaluates preferred stock instruments under ASC 480 and ASC 815-40 to determine the appropriate classification between liabilities, mezzanine equity, and permanent equity.

 

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 techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

 

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as one reportable segment, providing financial services and banking solutions to CRBs, under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis when allocating resources and assessing performance.

 

Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

 

For financial assets within the scope of ASC 326, the Company measures the allowance for credit losses based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that can affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The allowance is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the net amount represents management’s best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized as credit loss expense or reversal in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company considers the following factors, among others, in estimating expected credit losses:

 

  Historical loss experience and default rates for instruments with similar risk characteristics;
  The creditworthiness and financial condition of the counterparty;
  Current and forecasted macroeconomic conditions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period, reverting to historical averages beyond that period; and
  Collateral arrangements, recourse provisions, and other credit enhancements.

 

Financial assets are written off against the allowance when management determines that the asset is uncollectible and all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

 

Contract Asset

 

The contract asset was recognized in connection with the Second Amended CAA within the scope of ASC 326. This asset represents costs incurred to fulfill the contract, specifically the cost of assuming the stand-ready guarantee obligation under ASC 460 and the contingent indemnification exposure under ASC 326. The contract asset is amortized on a systematic and rational basis over the contract term consistent with the release of the underlying guarantee exposure. The contract asset is evaluated for impairment under ASC 340-40-35-2 when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable and any impairment identified is recognized in the period identified and may not be subsequently reversed.

 

Stand Ready Guarantees – ASC 460

 

The Company accounts for financial guarantees in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees. At the inception of a guarantee, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the assumed stand-ready obligation. This non-contingent liability represents the value of the obligation undertaken by the Company to stand ready to perform under the guarantee, irrespective of the likelihood that a payment will actually be required.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the stand-ready liability is amortized over the weighted average life of the guarantee, using a systematic approach that reflects the Company’s reduction in exposure to risk over time. If, at any reporting date, a contingent loss accrual required under ASC 450, Contingencies, exceeds the unamortized ASC 460 carrying amount, the Company records the higher contingent loss estimate in accordance with that guidance.

 

 

Financial Indemnification Liabilities

 

Under ASC 326-20, the Company recognizes a financial indemnification liability for its indemnification obligation to PCCU under the Second Amended CAA. This liability represents the Company’s up to 65% share of the lifetime expected credit losses on the covered CRB loan portfolio, measured on a probability-weighted basis and updated each reporting period to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The financial indemnification liability methodology considers historical loss experience, borrower-specific credit quality, collateral values, and forward-looking economic assumptions including conditions specific to the cannabis industry.

 

The financial indemnification liability is measured independently from, and recognized in addition to, the ASC 460 stand-ready guarantee liability. The two liabilities coexist separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and do not offset or true up to each other. The ASC 460 liability is fixed at inception and released over the guarantee term, while the financial indemnification liability is dynamic and remeasured each quarter. Changes in the financial indemnification liability are recognized as credit loss expense or credit income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of remeasurement.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

The Company’s revenues are concentrated in the United States with a single customer, PCCU, which represented the substantial majority of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, see Note 9. Substantially all CRB client deposits are maintained at PCCU, and all fund transmissions to and from those deposit accounts are handled directly by PCCU.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable and cash accounts maintained at financial institutions. At times, account balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $0.25 million.

 

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.0 million and $6.5 million of account balances, respectively, in excess of FDIC coverage. Additionally, amounts due from PCCU represented approximately 97.0% and 97.0% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, with balances of approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts or receivables, and management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk on such accounts.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Standards Adopted in 2026

 

ASU 2024-04 – Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-04, which clarifies the accounting for induced conversions of convertible debt. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted this standard prospectively. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, other than the recognition of a deemed dividend of $1.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, as disclosed in Note 11.

 

ASU 2025-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets: In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides a practical expedient by allowing entities to assume current credit conditions will remain unchanged for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted this standard prospectively and the adoption did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

ASU 2024-03 / ASU 2025-01 - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40): In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, subsequently clarified by ASU 2025-01 (January 2025), requiring entities to disaggregate certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard prospectively and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting.

 

ASU 2026-01 – Debt (Subtopic 505-10): Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock: In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-01, which requires that paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends on equity-classified preferred stock be initially measured based on the PIK dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement for purposes of both financial statement recognition and earnings per share calculations. The standard does not change when PIK dividends are recorded or when they affect earnings per share. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted.

 

 

The Company will continue to monitor the development of accounting standards and intends to adopt them in accordance with their respective effective dates. Additional disclosures will be provided in future filings as the Company completes its assessment of these standards’ impact.
