NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) ,
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Securities Exchange Act”) ,
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and other federal securities laws which statements involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or
operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as
“may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “shall,” “might,”
“expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,”
“target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or
expressions that concern our expectations, strategies, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Report
include, but are not limited to, statements about:
●
the
outcome of certain class action litigation involving our subsidiary, USCF Investments Inc.;
●
our
future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, ability to
generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve and maintain profitability;
●
the
sufficiency of our cash flows which is primarily dependent upon the performance of our U.S. investment fund management business and
its ability to maintain and expand fund assets under management (“AUM”) such that we can meet our working capital, capital
expenditure, and liquidity needs;
●
our
continued investments in the development and marketing of our Fintech application (“app”) and the uncertainty of the
acceptance thereof and its ability to generate sufficient revenue to meet or cover or exceed development expenditures incurred to
date;
●
the
ability of our operating subsidiaries to attract and retain customers to use our products or services, to optimize the pricing for
our products or services, to expand sales to our customers, and to convince our existing customers to continue using our services
and products;
●
the
evolution of technologies affecting our operating subsidiaries’ products, services and markets;

●
the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and our ability to repay our existing indebtedness when due or at all, including in connection
with our recent debt financing transaction;
●
our
ability to raise additional financing in connection with further development of our fintech app and to cover our operating losses;
●
worldwide
economic conditions, the uncertainty of President Trump’s raising U.S. tariffs on all
imports, a reduction in global economic growth forecasts creating pressure on interest rates and further exacerbating supply chain disruption
in conjunction with the after-effects from the economic disruption imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the conflicts in
Ukraine and the Middle East, and their impact on spending;
●
our
operating subsidiaries’ ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations applying to our businesses, including privacy
and data security regulations; and
●
our
ability to acquire new businesses or expand our existing businesses, including the integration and financing of acquisitions or business
expansion.
The
foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Report.
You
should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained
in this Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business,
financial condition, operating results, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject
to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2024, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31,
2024, this Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Moreover, we and our subsidiaries operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties
that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events,
and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances
could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements made in this Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report
or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We and our subsidiaries may not actually
achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on
our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers,
dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation and Accounting Principles
The
Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’
equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared
on an accrual basis, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements. Operating
results for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending June 30, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements at that date included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, but does not include all
of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements. The information included in this Report
should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended June 30, 2024.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements”, include
the accounts of The Marygold Companies and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Our
subsidiary USCF Investments relies on the revenues generated from the investment management fees from the funds it manages. The concentration

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The guidance expands the disclosures required for reportable segments
in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
The standard will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2025 and interim periods thereafter, with early
adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We will adopt the
standard when it becomes effective in our fiscal year 2025 annual reporting. The Company does not anticipate any impact other than changes
to disclosures in the segment reporting from the adoption date onwards.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The guidance requires disclosure
of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standardized categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and
modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The standard will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year
2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our income tax disclosures.
NOTE
3. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic
net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This calculation includes the weighted
average number of shares of Series B, Voting, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) outstanding as they
are deemed to be substantially similar to the common shares and shareholders are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights
and each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 20 shares of the Company’s common stock. Diluted net
loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the
beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at
the average market price during the period. The Company excluded common stock equivalents from the diluted net loss per share calculation
as their effect would be anti-dilutive as follows: 0.8 million, 0.8 million, 1.3 million and 1.3 million for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Since the Company generated a net loss in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, basic
and diluted net loss per share were the same.
Basic
and diluted net loss per share reflects the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible Series
B Preferred Stock.
The
components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE
8. NOTES PAYABLE
On
September 19, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement the (“Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC
(“Holder”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to Holder a secured promissory note in an initial principal amount
of $ 4,380,000 (“Initial Note”) payable on or before 24 months from the issuance date (“Maturity Date”) and, upon
the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Purchase Agreement, up to one additional secured promissory note (“Subsequent Note,”
Initial Note and Subsequent Note, “Notes”). The initial principal amount of the Notes includes an original issue discount
of 9 % and expenses that the Company agreed to pay to the Holder to cover the Holder’s transaction costs. The original issue discount
of the Initial Note was $ 360,000 . Interest on the principal amount of the Notes accrues at a rate of 9 % per annum. The Company may pay
all or any portion of the amount owed under the Notes earlier than it is due. All payments made under the Notes, including any repayments,
are subject to an additional payment amount equal to 6% of the portion of the outstanding balance being repaid. The Subsequent Note would
have a principal amount of $ 2,180,000 , which will have terms substantially similar to the terms of the Initial Note. The original issue
discount of the Subsequent Note, if issued, would be $ 180,000 .
The
Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants and agreements, including that we will not pledge or grant any lien or security interest
in our or our subsidiaries’ assets without the Holder’s prior written consent and that we will file reports under the Securities
Exchange Act timely, and that our shares will continue to be listed or quoted on the NYSE American or Nasdaq. Also, without the Holder’s
prior written consent, we may not: issue, incur or guarantee any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course; issue
any security that has conversion rights in which the number of shares varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities
convertible into our shares with a conversion price that varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities that have a
conversion or exercise price subject to a reset due to a change in the market price of our shares or upon the occurrence of certain events
related to our business (but excluding certain standard antidilution protection for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend,
stock split or similar transaction); issue any securities pursuant to an equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or
similar arrangement. The Purchase Agreement also contains a most favored nations provision that provides we will grant to the Holder
the same terms as we offer any subsequent investor in our debt securities and certain arbitration provisions in the event of a claim
arising under the Purchase Agreement and other transaction documents.
The
Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by: (i) a pledge of all the common stock the Company owns in USCF Investments,
Inc. and (ii) a security interest in all of the assets of the Company. Further, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s trust,
the Nicholas and Melinda Gerber Living Trust (“Gerber Trust”), provided: (i) a guaranty of the Company’s obligations
to the Holder under the Note and (ii) a pledge of all of the common stock of the Company owned by the Gerber Trust.
Beginning
on the date that is six months from the issuance date until the applicable Note is paid in full, each month the Holder has the right
to require the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $ 400,000 with respect to the Initial Note and $ 200,000 with respect to the Subsequent
Note plus any interest accrued thereunder and an additional payment amount equal to 6% of the principal amount. The Company has the right
to defer such redemption payments that Holder could otherwise elect to make three times by providing advance written notice to Holder.
If the Company exercises its deferral right, the outstanding balance is automatically increased by 0.85% for each instance that the deferral
right is exercised by Company, which cannot be exercised more than once every ninety calendar days.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the date of the issuance and sale of the Note and ending 24 months later, Holder
will have the right, but not the obligation, with Company’s prior written consent, to reinvest up to an additional $ 10,000,000
in the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (structured as two tranches of $ 5,000,000 each).
The
Company engaged Maxim Group LLC to serve as placement agent for the transaction between the Company and Holder in exchange for an aggregate
commission equal to 7% of the gross cash proceeds received from the sale of the Notes.
As
of March 31, 2025, the note payable balance outstanding, net of the original issue discount and fees paid, was $ 3.7 million, all of which
is due within 12 months from March 31, 2025 assuming no deferral rights are exercised. The effective interest rate for this note is 41.3 %.
As
of June 30, 2024, Brigadier had an outstanding principal balance of $ 0.3 million due related to the purchase of its Saskatoon office
land and building. The bank loan matured and was paid off in full in July 2024.

NOTE
9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Public
Stock Offering
On
January 28, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of its common stock, $ 0.001 par value per share
(“Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $ 1.10 per share (before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions),
in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated January 26, 2025 (“Underwriting
Agreement”), between the Company and the Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) as sole underwriter and book-running manager for
the offering (“Offering”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to
purchase up to an additional 307,500 shares of its Common Stock at the public offering price before deduction of underwriting discounts
and commissions (“Overallotment Option”). Maxim did not exercise its Overallotment Option.
The
net proceeds of the offering to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, was $ 1.8 million.
The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to retire or reduce debt, make additional investments in its
financial services operations, and for other general working capital and corporate purposes.
Pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed that, until January 25, 2026, Maxim will have a right of first refusal to act as
sole managing underwriter and sole book runner, sole placement agent, or sole sales agent, for any and all future registered offerings
or private placements of the Company’s equity, equity-linked or debt securities for which we retain the service of an underwriter,
agent, advisor, finder or other person or entity in connection with such offering during such period. Also, the Company has agreed not
to offer to retain any entity or person in connection with such an offering on terms more favorable than the terms on which the Company
offers to retain Maxim.
Subject
to certain limited exceptions, the Company has agreed for a period of 120 days after the closing of the Offering not to (i) offer, issue,
sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our securities without Maxim’s
prior written consent; and (ii) each of the Company’s directors, officers, and affiliates who are holders of the Company’s
shares as of January 26, 2025, (and all holders of securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock) have agreed,
for a period of 120 days after the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell,
encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities, including shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding options granted to any such person; provided that the Company’s employees
who are issued shares pursuant to its employee incentive plans that have vested or vest in the future are not subject to such restriction.
Maxim may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior
to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, Maxim will consider,
among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting release, the number of shares for which the release is being
requested and market conditions at the time.
Pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify Maxim against liabilities relating to the Offering arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) , and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Securities
Exchange Act”), as well as liabilities arising from the material breach of any of the representations and warranties the Company
made in the Underwriting Agreement, and to contribute to payments that Maxim may be required to make for these liabilities.
The
foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on January 27, 2025.
The
foregoing does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
On March 7, 2025, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”)
with Maxim pursuant to which we may sell from time-to-time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 4.65
million through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal. We have agreed to pay Maxim a commission equal to three percent (3%) of the
aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of any shares through Maxim under the EDA, reimburse Maxim for certain legal fees and disbursements,
and have agreed to indemnify Maxim against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The EDA requires that, until May 28, 2025,
the date of the expiration of the standstill period in our Underwriting Agreement with Maxim for the Offering described above, sales of
our shares of common stock be made at a minimum price per share of $ 1.50 unless, at any time, Maxim and the Company mutually agree upon
a lower minimum price per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we did not sell any shares pursuant to the EDA. The offer
and sale, if any, of our shares of common stock under the EDA will be made pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which
was filed with the SEC on December 18, 2024, and became effective on December 27, 2024, the base prospectus included therein, and a prospectus
supplement that was filed by the Company with the SEC on March 7, 2025.

Litigation
From
time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of their respective
businesses. Except as described below, there are no material pending legal proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries. USCF
LLC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. USCF LLC, as the general partner of the United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”)
and the general partner and sponsor of the related public funds may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its
operations in the ordinary course of business. Except as described herein, USO and USCF LLC are not currently party to any material legal
proceedings.
In
re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation
On
June 19, 2020, USCF LLC, USO, John P. Love, and Stuart P. Crumbaugh, were named as defendants in a putative class action filed by purported
shareholder Robert Lucas (the “Lucas Class Action”). The Court thereafter consolidated the Lucas Class Action with two related
putative class actions filed on July 31, 2020 and August 13, 2020, and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated class action is pending
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation ,
Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04740.
17
On
November 30, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Lucas Class Complaint”). The Amended Lucas
Class Complaint asserts claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (“Securities
Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint challenges statements in registration
statements that became effective on February 25, 2020 and March 23, 2020 as well as subsequent public statements through April 2020 concerning
certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19
global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint purports to have been brought by an investor
in USO on behalf of a class of similarly-situated shareholders who purchased USO securities between February 25, 2020 and April 28, 2020
and pursuant to the challenged registration statements. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint seeks to certify a class and to award the class
compensatory damages at an amount to be determined at trial as well as costs and attorney’s fees. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint
named as defendants USCF LLC, USO, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson,
Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes III, as well as the marketing agent, ALPS Distributors, Inc., and the Authorized Participants:
ABN Amro, BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Company, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corporation,
Morgan Stanley & Company Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, UBS Securities
LLC, and Virtu Financial BD LLC.
The
lead plaintiff has filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its claims against BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities
LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Company, Inc.,
Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC.
USCF
LLC, USO, and the individual defendants in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation intend to vigorously contest
such claims and have moved for their dismissal.
Mehan
Action
On
August 10, 2020, purported shareholder Darshan Mehan filed a derivative action on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against
defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon
L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes, III (the “Mehan Action”). The action is pending in the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Alameda as Case No. RG20070732.
The
Mehan Action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to USO and failed to act in good faith in connection with a
March 19, 2020 registration statement and offering and disclosures regarding certain extraordinary market conditions that caused demand
for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks,
on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney’s fees, and costs. All proceedings in the Mehan
Action are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.
USCF
LLC, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest such claims.
In
re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation
On
August 27, 2020, purported shareholders Michael Cantrell and AML Pharm. Inc. DBA Golden International filed two separate derivative
actions on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Andrew F Ngim, Nicholas D.
Gerber, Robert L. Nguyen, Gordon L. Ellis, Malcolm R. Fobes, III, and Peter M. Robinson in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York at Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 (the “Cantrell Action”) and Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06981 (the
“AML Action”), respectively.
The
complaints in the Cantrell and AML Actions are nearly identical. They each allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 21D of the
Securities Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and common law claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control,
gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. These allegations stem from USO’s disclosures and defendants’ alleged
actions in light of the extraordinary market conditions in 2020 that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19
global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaints seek, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution,
equitable relief, attorney’s fees, and costs. The plaintiffs in the Cantrell and AML Actions have marked their actions as related
to the Lucas Class Action.
The
Court consolidated the Cantrell and AML Actions under the caption In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation , Civil
Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 and appointed co-lead counsel. All proceedings in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation
are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation .
USCF
LLC, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest the claims in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation .
18
No
accrual or reserve has been made with respect to the above legal matters for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, or the year ended
June 30, 2024. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of possible
losses resulting from these matters. Although we are vigorously contesting the litigation claims discussed above, in the near term it
is reasonably possible that we may be required to establish a reserve or an accrual in the future depending upon the outcome of any of
the foregoing litigation matters. An adverse outcome in any of these matters could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Retirement
Plan
The
Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“401K Plan”) covering U.S. employees. Participants may make contributions pursuant
to a salary reduction agreement. In addition, the 401K Plan makes a safe harbor matching contribution. The Company’s matching contributions
were less than $ 0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and less than $ 0.2 million for each of the nine
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Revenue
decreased by $0.9 million or 11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as a result of a decrease in revenue from our U.S. fund
management segment of $0.3 million (or 7%), a decrease in revenue from our food products segment of $0.3 million (or 18%), and a
decrease in our beauty products segment of $0.2 million (or 25%). The decrease in U.S. fund management revenue was driven by a
decrease in average Assets Under Management (“AUM”). Average AUM for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $2.6 billion
compared to $3.0 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in average AUM in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was
due to commodity price fluctuations, along with geopolitical and economic uncertainty. The decrease in food products revenue was due
to a temporary cancellation of certain product categories sold to national grocery chains pending price increase
acceptance as well as the timing of job completions. The decrease in beauty products revenue was driven by the discontinuation of
sales to domestic distributors who sold our products specifically on Amazon.
Gross
profit decreased by $0.3 million or 5%, driven by the reduced revenue from the lower average AUM as described above.
Operating
expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 4% driven by variable operating expenses tied to AUM were lower for the quarter as well as
lower license fees and general and administrative expenses.
Loss
from operations was relatively flat at $1.5 million compared to the prior year quarter as a result of the decrease in gross profit
that was offset by the decrease in operating expenses as described above.
Total
other income, net decreased by $0.4 million or 68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year quarter driven by increased interest expense as a result of the borrowing under our recent note financing.
Net
loss increased by $0.5 million or 91% and was driven by increased interest expense as a result of the borrowing under our recent
note financing.

Fund Management – Related Party - USCF Investments
USCF
Investments earns monthly management and advisory fees based on an investment management or advisory agreement with each Fund. The
management fees are determined on the basis of a contractual basis point management fee multiplied by the average AUM over the given
period. Average AUM for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $2.6 billion compared to $3.0 billion for the quarter ended March 31,
2024. As a result of lower average AUM for the current quarter when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, revenue decreased
by $0.3 million or 7%. The decrease in average AUM in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was due to commodity price fluctuations, along with the impact of geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Operating
income remained flat at $0.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 driven by variable operating expenses that are
tied to lower average AUM for the quarter as well as lower license fees and general and administrative expenses.
Food
Products - Gourmet Foods
Gourmet
Foods has two distinct operating divisions: 1) a commercial-scale bakery producing iconic Kiwi pies and sausage rolls and 2) a
digital printing business (Printstock Products Limited) which prints specialty food wrappers. Total food products revenue decreased
by $0.3 million or 18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, the result of decreases at both our printing
business and our bakery business. The decrease of $0.1 million or 16% in our printing business was due to the timing of job
completion and invoicing. The decrease of $0.1 million or 9% in our bakery business was due to a temporary cancellation of certain
product categories sold to national grocery chains pending price increase acceptance. The remaining $0.1 million decrease is attributed to negative changes in currency translation for the current quarter
when compared to the prior year comparable quarter.
Despite the decrease in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, operating income increased by $0.1 million
as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase in operating income is due to a focus on the sale of higher margin products
coupled with a decrease in selling expenses at Gourmet Foods.
22
Beauty
Products – Original Sprout
Original
Sprout derives its revenues from the sale of proprietary hair and skin care products marketed to domestic and international distributors,
grocery stores, hair salons and direct-to-consumers via online platforms. Revenue decreased by $0.2 million or 25% driven by the discontinuation
of sales to domestic distributors who sold Original Sprout products specifically on Amazon.
Operating
loss decreased by less than $0.1 million or 34% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 2024 as a result of the elimination
of amortization expense associated with the impairment of intangible assets at the end of the prior fiscal year.
Security
Systems - Brigadier
Brigadier earns revenue from two primary sources. The company sells to residential customers alarm monitoring contracts
and installations on behalf of a telecom provider for whom it is a dealer. These contracts result in recurring monthly residuals comprising
approximately 50% of revenues. Remaining revenues are derived from sales and installation of access controls, alarm, video, and fire panel
alarm monitoring hardware to commercial businesses and publicly owned facilities. Revenues from monitoring residual fees remained relatively
static while sales and installations of larger commercial installations increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to
2024. Revenue decreased by less than $0.1 million or 13% and operating income was relatively flat at $0.1 million. The larger commercial
accounts generate more revenue and profits but take longer to complete, thus may produce spikes or declines in revenue and profits for
specific reporting periods. As the residential consumer segment of the industry becomes more complex due to the bundling of services,
including alarm monitoring, offered by larger telecom companies, we expect to focus even more heavily on the commercial and public facilities
customers in the coming years.
U.S.
and U.K. Financial Services – Marygold US and Marygold UK
Our
Financial Services segment is comprised of Marygold US and Marygold UK, which are distinct operating entities with differing revenue
streams.
Marygold
US developed and launched a mobile banking fintech app which earned revenue in the form of management fees based on a percentage of
the amount of account holder funds invested in various curated ETF portfolios offered on the app (“Money Pools”), and
from transaction fees when account holders used a debit card. The app was soft-launched in June 2023 as a proof of concept. Since
that time, the app has earned only de minimis revenues. As a result, the Company has decided to pause the offering and operating the app
in the US and focus on launching the app in the UK instead. Operating costs are comprised of development team salaries and expenses,
fees paid to third party vendors, fees paid to our sponsoring bank, marketing costs and staff salaries. For the quarter ended March
31, 2025, Marygold US incurred an operating loss of $1.3 million as compared with an operating loss of $1.4 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2024. As a result of our decision to pause the offering and operating the
app in the US, the losses and negative cash flows from Marygold US are expected to be significantly reduced for the remainder of this
fiscal year.
Marygold
UK is a U.K. holding company which operates through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries Marygold & Co. Limited f/k/a Tiger Financial
and Asset Management Limited and Step By Step Financial Planners, both of whom are registered investment advisors who earn revenues based
on the amount of AUM and from the sale of financial products, including insurance, to customers in the U.K.
Our
total U.K. Financial Services revenue, derived entirely from Marygold UK, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, increased by $0.1
million or 70% to $0.2 million as compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by the
incremental revenue of $0.1 million from Step-By-Step, which was acquired in April 2024. Operating loss increased by $0.2 million
due to increased costs incurred in connection with the adoption and implementation of the Marygold mobile Fintech app for the U.K.
market. The consolidated operating loss for financial services was $1.5 million for the current quarter as compared to a loss of
$1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
23
Corporate
Headquarters
The
Marygold Companies as a holding company has no significant revenue, however, it does have operating expenses such as, but not limited
to, salaries, audit and legal fees, NYSE American listing fees and expenses, expenses related to compliance with its SEC periodic reporting
requirements, insurance, interest expense, and investor relations which produce operating losses. Operating loss for the corporate headquarters
was relatively flat at $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to same period in 2024.

Nine
Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared with Nine Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue
decreased by $1.6 million or 7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, driven by a decrease in revenue from our U.S. fund management segment of $1.1 million
(or 8%), a decrease in revenue from our food products segment of $0.5 million (or 9%), and a decrease in revenue from our beauty products
segment of $0.4 million (or 16%). The decrease in revenue from our U.S. fund management business arose from a decrease in average AUM
for the period. Average AUM in our U.S. fund management business for the
nine months ended March 31, 2025, was $3.0 billion compared to $3.3 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of
$0.3 billion or 9%. The decrease in AUM in the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was due to commodity price fluctuations, along with geopolitical and economic uncertainty. The decrease in revenue from the food products
segment was driven by a temporary cancellation of certain product categories at our bakery business sold to national grocery chains that
commenced in the current fiscal year. The decrease in revenue from our beauty products segment was driven by the efforts to control the discounted price
of products sold online by authorized resellers.
Gross profit decreased by $1.1 million or 6% driven by the decrease in revenue from our U.S. fund management business as described above.
Operating expenses increased by $0.9 million or 4% as a result of the following.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million or 6% driven by increased costs associated with our Fintech app development
including additional software and security infrastructure in the UK. Salaries and compensation increased by $0.4 million or 5% compared
to the nine months ended March 31, 2024 driven by increased stock-based compensation expenses. Fund operations increased by $0.4 million
or 10% driven by increased costs associated with managing more funds. Partially offsetting these increased operating expenses was a decrease
in marketing and advertising of $0.3 million or 13% as a result of prior year increased spending for new products at Original Sprout as
well as from the Fintech app and new fund launches.
Total other income, net decreased by $0.6 million
or 126% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year; however, the interest and dividend income
line item increased by $0.7 million and other income (expense), net decreased by $0.6 million. Included in the interest and dividend income
for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.1 million of dividend income from related party investments offset by $0.5
million in unrealized losses on related party investments included in other expense, net as a result of the reduction in the net asset
values of the related party investments from the payment of the dividends. Interest expense increased by $0.7 million as a result of our recent note financing.
Benefit
from income taxes increased by $0.4 million or 52% driven by the increase in the loss before income taxes for the reasons explained
above.
Net
loss increased by $2.1 million or 96% and was driven by decreased profits from our fund management business due to lower average AUM
and increased interest expense as a result of the borrowing under our recent note financing.

Fund Management – Related Party - USCF Investments
Average
AUM for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.0 billion compared to $3.3 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. As
a result of lower average AUM for the current nine months when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024, revenue decreased
by $1.1 million or 8%. The decrease in average AUM during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was due to commodity price fluctuations, along with the impact of geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Operating
income decreased by $1.2 million or 31% driven by the decrease in average AUM as described above and increased fund operations
expenses of $0.4 million as a result of increased sub-advisory and license fees, fund accounting and administration costs connected
to new funds.
Food
Products - Gourmet Foods
Total
food products revenue decreased by $0.5 million or 9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, which was the net result of a decrease at our bakery business of $0.5 million. The decrease was due to a temporary cancellation
of certain product categories sold to national grocery chains that commenced in the current fiscal year.
Operating
income decreased by $0.1 million or 44% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period which was driven by
a non-recurring cost of goods sold adjustment coupled with a depreciation charge taken for its solar electricity system and partially
offset by increased profits from the sale of higher margin products at our bakery business.
25
Beauty
Products – Original Sprout
Revenue
decreased by $0.4 million or 16% driven by the efforts to control the discounted price of products sold online by authorized resellers.
This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of the current fiscal year as Original Sprout reduces the number of authorized Internet
sales channels, recovers control over its price points, and repositions its products for a larger presence on store shelves.
Operating
loss decreased by $0.3 million or 42% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 2024 as a result of reduced marketing costs
and the elimination of amortization charges from intangible assets from the
impairment charge taken in June 2024.
Security
Systems - Brigadier
Revenues
from monitoring residual fees remained relatively static while sales and installations of larger commercial installations increased
for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. Revenue increased by $0.1 million or 4% and operating income was
relatively flat at $0.3 million. The larger commercial accounts generate more revenue and profit but take longer to complete, thus
may produce spikes or declines in revenue and profits for specific reporting periods. As the residential consumer segment of the
industry becomes more complex due to the bundling of services, including alarm monitoring, offered by larger telecom companies, we
expect to focus even more heavily on the commercial and public facilities customers in the coming years.
U.S.
and U.K. Financial Services – Marygold US and Marygold UK
Marygold
US incurred an operating loss of $4.2 million for both the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As the app has earned only de minimis revenues since its launch in June 2023, the Company has decided to pause the offering
and operating the app in the US and focus on launching the app in the UK instead. As such, the losses and negative cash flows from Marygold US are expected to be significantly reduced for the remainder
of this fiscal year.
Our
total Financial Services revenue, derived entirely from Marygold UK, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $0.3
million or 67% as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by the incremental revenue from
Step-By-Step, which was acquired in April 2024. Operating loss increased by $0.4 million due to increased costs incurred in
connection with the adoption and implementation of the Marygold mobile Fintech app for the U.K. market. The consolidated operating
loss for financial services was $4.8 million for the current nine months as compared to a loss of $4.4 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2024.
Corporate
Headquarters
The
Marygold Companies as a holding company has no significant revenue, however, it does have operating expenses such as, but not
limited to, salaries, audit and legal fees, NYSE American listing fees and expenses, expenses related to compliance with its SEC
periodic reporting requirements, insurance, interest expense, and investor relations which produce operating losses. Operating loss
for the corporate headquarters increased by $0.6 million, or 22%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to same
period in 2024. The increased loss was driven by higher stock-based compensation expenses from additional outstanding equity grants
during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as well as higher general and administrative expenses including legal and accounting fees.
26
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
are a holding company that conducts our individual diversified business operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries. At the
holding-company level, our liquidity needs relate to operational expenses, the funding of additional business acquisitions and new
investment opportunities including the investment by our fund management business in the development of new exchange traded fund or products. Our operating subsidiaries’ principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating
activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and
income taxes. Cash is managed at the holding company and the subsidiary level. There are generally no legal limitations or
constraints on the movement of funds between the entities, however there are potential tax consequences for funds moved from foreign
subsidiaries to the parent company. Additionally, our registered investment advisor subsidiaries are required to maintain certain
minimum capital requirements.
As
of March 31, 2025, we had $4.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to $5.5 million as of June
30, 2024, a decrease of $1.1 million or 21%. Our cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.8
million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made additional expenditures of $3.8 million with regard to the
development of our mobile Fintech app. We have invested a total of $19.1 million in the Fintech app since Marygold’s inception.
As
described below, in September 2024, we entered into a financing arrangement under which we borrowed $4.4 million and have the
potential to borrow an additional $2.2 million. The financing arrangement also gives the lender the right but not the obligation to
provide an additional $10.0 million in financing to us on the same terms as the initial loans. We expect that we will require
additional financing to fund our fintech operations over the coming 12 months. As the funding requirements become known, we will
decide upon the source of the additional capital. Despite these cash investments and expenses, our working capital position remains
strong at $13.8 million as of March 31, 2025. Also as described below, on January 28, 2025, we received $1.8 million in net proceeds
from the sale of our shares in a firm commitment underwritten offering.
Recent
Equity Financing
On
January 28, 2025, we closed on the sale of an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”) at a price to the public of $1.10 per share (before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions) in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering (“Offering”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated January 26, 2025 (“Underwriting
Agreement”), between us and the Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as sole underwriter and book-running manager for the Offering.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we granted Maxim a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 307,500 shares of Common Stock
at the public offering price before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions (“Overallotment Option”). Maxim did
not exercise its Overallotment Option.
The
net proceeds of the Offering to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were $1.8
million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to retire or reduce debt, make additional investments in our financial services
operations, and for other general working capital and corporate purposes.
On March 7, 2025, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”)
with Maxim pursuant to which we may sell from time-to-time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $4.65
million through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal. We have agreed to pay Maxim a commission equal to three percent (3%) of the
aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of any shares through Maxim under the EDA, reimburse Maxim for certain legal fees and disbursements,
and have agreed to indemnify Maxim against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The EDA requires that, until May 28, 2025,
the date of the expiration of the standstill period in our Underwriting Agreement with Maxim for the Offering described above, sales of
our shares of common stock be made at a minimum price per share of $1.50 unless, at any time, Maxim and the Company mutually agree upon
a lower minimum price per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we did not sell any shares pursuant to the EDA. The offer
and sale, if any, of our shares of common stock under the EDA will be made pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which
was filed with the SEC on December 18, 2024, and became effective on December 27, 2024, the base prospectus included therein, and a prospectus
supplement that was filed by the Company with the SEC on March 7, 2025.
The
Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents along with the cash generated from ongoing operations will be sufficient to fund
its cash requirements over the next 12 months. However, based on our current operating plan which we expect may include continued
additional investments in our mobile Fintech app for the U.K. market, we may need to raise additional funds through one or more
debt, equity or equity linked financings to meet our operating and cash needs. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise
such additional financing upon terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event we are unable to obtain additional financing in an
amount or upon terms acceptable to us, we expect to further reduce or curtail our investment in the development of our Fintech
app.
Lease
Liability
The
Company has various leases for offices, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The total amount due under these obligations was
$1.3 million as of March 31, 2025. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company renewed leases in New Zealand and the US
which increased the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by $0.7 million. The obligations will reduce over the passage of time
through periodic lease payments. See Note 10 for further analysis of this obligation.
27
Recent
Note Financing
On
September 19, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah
limited liability company (“Holder”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to Holder a secured promissory note in
an initial principal amount of $4,380,000 (“Initial Note”) payable on or before 24 months from the issuance date (“Maturity
Date”) and, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Purchase Agreement, up to one additional secured promissory note
(“Subsequent Note,” Initial Note and Subsequent Note, “Notes”). The initial principal amount of the Notes includes
an original issue discount of 9% and expenses the Company agreed to pay to the Holder to cover the Holder’s transaction costs.
The original issue discount of the Initial Note was $360,000. Interest on the principal amount of the Notes accrues at a rate of 9% per
annum. The Company may pay all or any portion of the amount owed under the Notes earlier than it is due. All payments made under the
Notes, including any repayments, are subject to an additional amount payable equal to 6% of the portion of the outstanding balance being
repaid. The Subsequent Note would have a principal amount of $2,180,000, which will have terms substantially similar to the terms of
the Initial Note. The original issue discount on the Subsequent Note, if issued, will be $180,000.
The
Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants and agreements, including that we will not pledge or grant any lien or security interest
in our or our subsidiaries’ assets without the Holder’s prior written consent and that we will file reports under the Securities
Exchange Act timely, and that our shares will continue to be listed or quoted on the NYSE American or Nasdaq. Also, without the Holder’s
prior written consent, we may not: issue, incur or guarantee any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course; issue
any security that has conversion rights in which the number of shares varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities
convertible into our shares with a conversion price that varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities that have a
conversion or exercise price subject to a reset due to a change in the market price of our shares or upon the occurrence of certain events
related to our business (but excluding certain standard antidilution protection for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend,
stock split or similar transaction); issue and securities pursuant to an equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or
similar arrangement. The Purchase Agreement also contains a most favored nations provision that provides we will grant to the Holder
the same terms as we offer any subsequent investor in our debt securities and certain arbitration provisions in the event of a claim
arising under the Purchase Agreement and other transaction documents.
The
Notes contain certain trigger events, including in the event that: (a) we fail to pay any amount when due; (b) a receiver or trustee
is appointed with respect to our assets; (c) we become insolvent; (d) we make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) we file
a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws; (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is filed against us; (g) a “fundamental
transaction” occurs without Holder’s prior written consent: (h) we, USCF Investments or any of the USCF Investments subsidiaries,
fail to observe covenants in our agreements with the Holder; (i) we default in observing or performing any covenant in the transaction
documents; (j) any representation in the transaction documents is or becomes false or incorrect; (i) we effect a reverse stock split
without 20 trading days’ prior written notice to the Holder; (k) any judgment is entered against us for more than $500,000 which
remains unstayed for more than 20 days unless consented to by the Holder; (m) our shares cease to be DTC (Depositary Trust Company) eligible;
or (n) we breach any covenant or agreement in any other agreement with Holder or in any financing or other agreement that affects our
ongoing business operations. A “fundamental transaction” occurs if: we merge with another entity; we dispose of all or substantially
all of our assets, we allow more than 50% of our voting shares to be acquired by another person; we enter into a share purchase agreement
with a third party that acquires more than 50% of our shares; we recapitalize or reclassify our shares; we transfer a material asset
to a subsidiary; we pay a dividend to our shareholders; or any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 50% of the ordinary voting
power of our shares. Upon the occurrence of a trigger event, the Holder may increase the amount outstanding under a Note by 10% for an
event described in (a) through (h) above or 5% for an event described in (i) through (n) above (a “default amount”). Alternatively,
the Holder may treat the trigger event as an event of default and demand repayment of the Note, subject to a five-day cure period, together
with any applicable default amount.
The
Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by: (i) a pledge of all the common stock the Company owns in USCF Investments,
Inc. and (ii) a security interest in all of the assets of the Company. Further, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s trust,
the Nicholas and Melinda Gerber Living Trust (“Gerber Trust”), provided: (i) a guaranty of the Company’s obligations
to the Holder under the Note and (ii) a pledge of all of the common stock of the Company owned by the Gerber Trust.
Beginning
on the date that is six months from the issuance date until the applicable Note is paid in full, each month the Holder has the right
to require the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $400,000 with respect to the Initial Note and $200,000 with respect to the Subsequent
Note plus any interest accrued thereunder and an additional amount payable equal to 6% of the principal amount and accrued interest redeemed.
The Company has the right to defer such redemption payments that Holder could otherwise elect to make three times by providing advance
written notice to Holder. If Company exercises its deferral right, the outstanding balance automatically increases by 0.85% for each
instance that the deferral right is exercised by Company, which cannot be exercised more than once every ninety calendar days.
28
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the date of the issuance and sale of the Note and ending 24 months later, Holder
will have the right, but not the obligation, with Company’s prior written consent, to reinvest up to an additional $10,000,000
in the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (structured as two tranches of $5,000,000 each).
The
Company engaged Maxim Group LLC to serve as placement agent for the transaction between the Company and Holder in exchange for an aggregate
commission equal to 7% of the gross cash proceeds received from the sale of the Notes.
As
of March 31, 2025, the note payable balance outstanding, net of the original issue discount and fees paid, was $3.7 million, all of which
is due within 12 months from March 31, 2025 assuming no deferral rights are exercised. The effective interest rate for this note is 41.3%.
In
July 2024, Brigadier repaid its mortgage loan of $0.3 million in full that was secured with the land and building in Canada.
Investments
USCF
Investments, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that USCF Investments manages. USCF
Investments classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance
sheet date. As of March 31, 2025, USCF Investments held investment positions in four of its exchange traded funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, USG (ticker changed from
GLDX in March 2024), ZSB, USE and ZSC of $1.7 million, $0.2 million, $2.5 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. These investment
positions along with other investments, as applicable, are described further in Note 5 to our Financial Statements.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation
and expansion of our businesses and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related
to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of
operations, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions
contained in any future financing instruments or under Nevada corporations’ law.

Item
4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer conducted evaluations of our
disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurances
that the information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports we file or submit under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures
and any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this Report.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under
the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably
likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
We
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in our business operations. In addition to the risks described below, you should
carefully consider the factors discussed under “Item 1A -Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal
year ended June 30, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (“December 31, 2024 Form 10-Q”). The risks discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, our December 31, 2024 Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, and the risks discussed below
could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market for our shares. The risks described
in our 2024 Form 10-K, our December 31, 2024 Form 10-Q, and other SEC filings, and the risks
described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that
we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating
results .
Risks
Related to our Recent Note Financing
In
addition to the net proceeds we received from our recent equity and debt financings, we may need to raise additional equity or debt financing
to continue the development and marketing of our Fintech app, to fund ongoing operations, invest in acquisitions, and for working capital
purposes. Our inability to raise such additional financing may limit our ability to continue the development of our Fintech app.
In
2019, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Marygold & Co., we began development of our peer-to-peer Fintech digital money app.
As of March 31, 2025, we have invested approximately $19 million in the development of our Fintech app and we have continued to invest in its
development. However, our Fintech app is not a mature business and has generated minimal revenue to date. The financial technology
industry is occupied by certain well-financed competitors with capital resources to fund marketing campaigns and the continued
development and enhancement of such services. We received $1.8 million in net proceeds from our recent equity
financing which closed on January 28, 2024, and intend to use such net proceeds to retire or repay outstanding indebtedness, make
further capital contributions to our Marygold & Co. subsidiaries in the U.S. and U.K., and for general working capital and
corporate purposes. In addition to the net proceeds we received from our recent equity financing and in view of our commitment to
pay down indebtedness, we may need to raise additional equity or debt financing to continue supporting the continued development and
marketing of our financial technology business, our ongoing operations, and in order to make any future acquisitions. If a decision
is made to continue to make capital investments in our financial technology division there can be no assurance our Fintech business
will be successful or generate sufficient or any significant revenues, although our ability to predict revenue generation from our
subsidiaries may not be accurate from time to time. Continued investment in our Fintech app could have a material adverse effect on
our operations, our financial condition, and results of operations, and the market for our shares, including if our revenues from
operations, financial condition, and market for our shares are negatively impacted by events outside of our control. Further,
negative economic events could hinder the ability of our businesses to effectively compete in the various industries in which we
operate which may create a need to raise additional financing in the future. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise such
additional financing or upon terms that are acceptable to us. Any failure to raise additional financing as and when needed could
have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to further support our current and future business plans and
strategies and on our ability to continue further development of our Fintech app and may require us to suspend, temporarily or
otherwise, its future development.
Also,
if we issue additional shares in a financing, any such issuance could be dilutive to our existing shareholders. See “Liquidity
and Capital Resources – Recent Note Financing” and “- Recent Equity Financing.”
We
may decide to promote our Fintech app to third party financial institutions or other payment providers as a license, fee-based service,
or otherwise, in the event, in addition to the net proceeds we received from our recent equity financing, financing is not available
on terms acceptable to us or at all, and in sufficient amounts to continue to fund our Fintech app development.
In
the event we are unable to raise additional financing to further develop our Fintech app business discussed above, management may, as
an alternative, seek to enter arrangements to license or otherwise offer our Fintech app to third parties, including financial institutions
and other payment providers in the U.S. and abroad. Although management believes there are several financial institutions and other payment
providers in the U.S. and abroad who may be interested in a consumer faced mobile app such as ours, there can be no assurance we will
be successful in monetizing our app in its current state of development to these third parties through license, fee-based user, or other
arrangement.
