+Added: Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company is
+Added: responsible for evaluating whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations
+Added: within one year of the financial statement issuance date.
+Added: This evaluation involves two steps:

+Added: raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and (2) if substantial doubt is raised, evaluating
+Added: whether the Company has plans to mitigate that doubt.
+Added: Disclosures are required if substantial doubt exists or if the Company’s plans
+Added: alleviate the doubt.
+Added: While the company reported a net working capital
+Added: deficit of $ 983,833 at the end of 2024, this figure includes several non-cash liabilities that do not affect liquidity.

+Added: Obligation under the Forward Purchase Agreement:
+Added: of December 31, 2024, the Company had a forward purchase receivable of $ 4,584,221 and a forward purchase derivative liability of $ 7,309,580 ,
+Added: resulting in a net liability of $2,725,359.
+Added: This liability can be settled in common stock at the Company’s discretion, offering
+Added: flexibility to improve working capital, which is management plan and intention.
+Added: Obligation under the Third Anniversary Consideration Payment:
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding liability of $ 322,000 , payable to the Abaca shareholders.
+Added: This liability
+Added: can also be settled in common stock at the Company’s discretion, providing further flexibility to enhance working capital, which is management
+Added: plan and intention.
+Added: At December 31, 2024, the Company reported
+Added: cash of $ 2,324,647 and a net
+Added: working capital deficit of $ 983,833 , compared to cash of
+Added: $ 4,888,769 and a net working
+Added: capital deficit of $ 135,355 as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its capacity to generate sufficient liquidity to meet financial
+Added: obligations, including interest repayments under the senior secured note with PCCU.
+Added: The Company incurred operating losses of $ 7,091,486
+Added: and $ 20,731,049 for the years ended
+Added: December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
+Added: The reported working capital deficit and operating losses, before adjustment
+Added: for non-cash activity raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least
+Added: twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
+Added: Management’s Plan Related to Going Concern
+Added: To address these concerns, the Company has
+Added: performed actions, including renegotiating its senior secured loan with PCCU.
+Added: On January 29, 2025, the Company and PCCU
+Added: entered into a letter agreement to defer the principal payments for February and March 2025 (the “Deferral Period”).
+Added: While interest has been repaid during the Deferral Period, the note repayment schedule has been extended by an additional two
+Added: Furthermore, on March 1, 2025, the Company
+Added: entered into an Amended PCCU Note with PCCU, modifying the outstanding principal of $ 10,748,408
+Added: with an interest rate of 4.25 %
+Added: The new repayment schedule includes interest-only payments from March 1, 2025, to January 5, 2027, followed by monthly
+Added: principal and interest payments from February 5, 2027, to September 5, 2030, with the full loan balance due by October 5, 2030.
+Added: two-year deferment of principal has unlocked $ 6,437,050
+Added: in cash flow, significantly improving the Company’s liquidity position.
+Added: On December 31, 2024, as a result of the Amended
+Added: PCCU Note, the Company excluded the short-term obligations of the PCCU Note totaling $ 2,883,167
+Added: from current liabilities and reclassified it as non-current liabilities.
+Added: the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced utilizing its stock-based compensation as an alternative to cash payments to attract
+Added: and retain talent, the Board of Directors restructured their compensation towards stock-based compensation, and the Company has continued
+Added: to reduce costs through lower headcount and other operational spend.
+Added: The Company has established a budget and monitors its liquidity
+Added: position and will make adjustments as needed.
+Added: Due to the uncertainty surrounding cash flows
+Added: from operations, the management plans outlined above do not entirely resolve the uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption.
+Added: a result, management has determined that there remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
+Added: for a period of at least twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
+Added: If the Company is not able to sustain its
+Added: present level of operations, it may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where
+Added: possible, or suspend or curtail planned expansion programs.
+Added: Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results
+Added: of operations and future prospects.
+Added: The accompanying consolidated financial statements

+Added: While fees are generated from individual CRB-related accounts, amounts are initially collected by the financial institution
+Added: and remitted in the subsequent month.
+Added: Accounts receivable - related party represents amounts due from PCCU under related party contracts
+Added: disclosed in Note 8.
+Added: The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to
+Added: make required payments.
+Added: In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company estimates anticipated losses from doubtful accounts
+Added: using the current expected credit loss (CECL) model.
+Added: This model considers both historical collection experience and forward-looking information,
+Added: including changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends, such as customers in bankruptcy, liquidation,
+Added: or reorganization.
+Added: The Company estimates losses based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date.
+Added: Receivables are written
+Added: off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible.
+Added: Such determination includes an analysis
+Added: of the specific conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed-upon payment
+Added: plans, solvency of the customer, and any bankruptcy proceedings.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there
+Added: were no recorded allowances for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable.
Loans Receivable
−Removed: Loans that significantly support the Company’s operations are recognized as assets on the balance sheet.
−Removed: These loans, intended
−Removed: to be held either for the foreseeable future or until their maturity or full repayment, are recorded at their outstanding principal balance.
−Removed: This amount is adjusted for any credit loss allowances and net of any deferred loan origination fees and costs, as applicable, to reflect
−Removed: the net investment in these loans.
−Removed: The Company recognizes interest income on CRB Loans over the loan term using the simple-interest method
−Removed: based on outstanding principal amounts.
−Removed: This approach ensures a systematic recognition of income, aligning with the time value of money
−Removed: income recognition is suspended when there is uncertainty regarding full loan repayment, such as in cases of loan impairment or when
−Removed: payments are overdue by ninety days or more.
+Added: CRB Loans that significantly support the Company’s
+Added: operations are recognized as assets on the balance sheet.
+Added: These loans, intended to be held either for the foreseeable future or until

+Added: This amount is adjusted for any credit loss allowances
+Added: and net of any deferred loan origination fees and costs, as applicable, to reflect the net investment in these loans.
+Added: The Company recognizes
+Added: interest income on CRB Loans over the loan term using the simple-interest method based on outstanding principal amounts.

+Added: Interest income recognition is suspended when there
+Added: is uncertainty regarding full loan repayment, such as in cases of loan impairment or when payments are overdue by ninety days or more.
Loans under these conditions are placed on nonaccrual status.
−Removed: Any accrued interest not received
−Removed: by the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual is reversed from interest income.
−Removed: Subsequent interest payments on nonaccrual loans are recorded
−Removed: using either the cash basis or the cost recovery method until the loan meets the criteria for reclassification to accrual status.
−Removed: are returned to accrual status when they become current (less than ninety days past due) and when there is reasonable assurance of future
−Removed: payment compliance, evidenced by the full satisfaction of both principal and interest payments due.
−Removed: are assessed individually for potential charge-off, which typically occurs at the point of foreclosure.
−Removed: Charge-offs are executed to reflect
−Removed: the realizable value of loans that are deemed uncollectible.
−Removed: determination of a loan’s past-due status is based on its contractual repayment terms.
−Removed: Loans are either placed on nonaccrual status
−Removed: or charged-off ahead of their contractual delinquency dates if the collection of principal and interest is deemed doubtful, ceasing the
−Removed: recognition of interest income on such loans.
−Removed: Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL)
−Removed: January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
−Removed: (ASC Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss methodology for estimated probable credit losses with an expected credit loss methodology
−Removed: that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology.
−Removed: ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets carried at their amortized cost, including
−Removed: loans held for investment, to present the net amount that is expected to be collected throughout the life of the financial asset.
−Removed: estimated ACL is recorded through a provision for credit losses charged against operations.
−Removed: Management periodically evaluates the adequacy
−Removed: of the ACL to maintain it at a level it believes to be reasonable.
−Removed: The Company uses the same methods used to determine the ACL to assess
−Removed: any reserves needed for off-balance sheet credit risks such as unfunded loan commitments including Indemnified loans to PCCU.
−Removed: These reserves
−Removed: for off-balance sheet credit risks are presented in the liabilities section in the consolidated balance sheets as an “Indemnity
−Removed: ACL consists of two components:
−Removed: an asset-specific component for estimating credit losses for individual loans that do not share similar
−Removed: risk characteristics with other loans;
−Removed: and a pooled component for estimating credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk
−Removed: characteristics.
−Removed: The ACL for the pooled component is derived from an estimate of expected credit losses primarily using an expected loss
−Removed: methodology that incorporates risk parameters such as probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”)
−Removed: which are derived from internally developed model estimation approaches for smaller homogenous loans.
−Removed: PD is quantified by analyzing historical data to determine the rate at which loans have defaulted within the portfolio, relative to the
−Removed: total outstanding loans as of the end of the reporting period.
−Removed: This rate is expressed as a percentage and serves as a key indicator of
−Removed: the likelihood of default across the loan pool.
−Removed: LGD assessments are conducted to estimate the potential loss amount in the event of a
−Removed: default, considering the recoverable value from the collateral liquidation against the remaining loan balance.
−Removed: This involves a detailed
−Removed: analysis of two primary components:
−Removed: the loss on principal, which arises from the gap between the collateral’s liquidation value
−Removed: and the unpaid principal balance of the loan;
−Removed: and the loss associated with various ancillary costs to recover, including, but not limited
−Removed: to, foregone interest, transaction costs, legal and administrative fees, and expenses related to the maintenance and renovation of the
−Removed: The Company considers relevant current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that relate to its lending
−Removed: practices and environment and the specific borrower and determines that the significant factor affecting the loan’s performance
−Removed: is the fact that these borrowers are involved in the cannabis business.
−Removed: Despite being legal at the state level in certain jurisdictions,
−Removed: cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States as of the date of this filing.
−Removed: As cannabis related lending is a new practice
−Removed: in the United States, there is very little historical or industry data on which to base a loss forecast.
−Removed: Therefore, significant judgement
−Removed: is required in creating a reasonable loss estimate, using similar non-MRB loans as a baseline and adjusting for the inherent risks in
−Removed: the cannabis industry.
−Removed: While the Company considers other qualitative factors, including national macroeconomic conditions, in its overall
−Removed: risk analysis, it has determined that they are not significant inputs to the overall loss estimate calculations.
−Removed: ACL estimation process also applies an economic forecast scenario, or a composite of scenarios based on management’s judgment and
−Removed: expectations around the current and future macroeconomic outlook.
−Removed: Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the
−Removed: loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate.
−Removed: The contractual term of a loan excludes expected extensions, renewals, and
−Removed: modification under certain conditions.
−Removed: on loans represent collections received on amounts that were previously charged off against the ACL.
−Removed: Recoveries are credited to the ACL
−Removed: when received, to the extent of the amount previously charged off against the ACL on the related loan.
−Removed: Any amounts collected in excess
−Removed: of this limit are first recognized as interest income, then as a reduction of collection costs, and then as other income.
−Removed: Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)
−Removed: to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable
−Removed: incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.
−Removed: Management estimates
−Removed: the required allowance for loan losses balance using past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of
−Removed: the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.
−Removed: Allocations of the allowance for loan losses may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that,
−Removed: in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.
−Removed: allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components.
−Removed: The specific component relates to loans that are individually
−Removed: classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful.
−Removed: The general component covers non-classified loans and
−Removed: is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
−Removed: to the nature of uncertainties related to any estimation process, management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio
−Removed: may change in the near term.
−Removed: However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.
−Removed: loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, full payment under the loan terms is not expected.
−Removed: is generally evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as commercial lines of credit but may be evaluated on
−Removed: an individual loan basis if deemed necessary.
−Removed: If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported,
−Removed: net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment
−Removed: is expected solely from the collateral.
−Removed: loans SHF originates are secured by various types of assets of the borrowers, including real property and certain personal property,
−Removed: including value associated with other assets to the extent permitted by applicable laws and the regulations governing the borrowers.
−Removed: The documents governing the loans also include a variety of provisions intended to provide remedies against the value associated with
−Removed: Collection procedures are designed to ensure that neither SHF nor its financial institution clients who provide funding for
−Removed: a loan, nor a third-party agent engaged to assist with the liquidation or foreclosure process, will take possession of cannabis inventory,
−Removed: cannabis paraphernalia, or other cannabis-related assets, nor will they take title to real estate used in cannabis-related businesses.
−Removed: Upon default of a loan, a third-party agent will be engaged to work with the borrower to have the borrower sell collateral securing the
−Removed: loan to a third party or to institute a foreclosure proceeding to have such collateral sold to generate funds towards the payoff of the
−Removed: Applicable regulations under state law that govern CRBs generally do not permit the taking of title to real estate involved in
−Removed: commercial sales of cannabis, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, without prior regulatory approval.
−Removed: The sale of a license or other
−Removed: realization of the value of licenses also requires the approval of state and local regulatory authorities.
−Removed: A defaulted loan may also
−Removed: be sold if such a sale would yield higher proceeds or that a sale could be accomplished more quickly than a foreclosure proceeding while
−Removed: yielding proceeds comparable to what would be expected from a foreclosure sale.
−Removed: Such sale of the loan would be conducted through a third-party
−Removed: administrative agent.
−Removed: However, SHF can provide no assurances that a sale of such loans would be possible or that the sales price of such
−Removed: loans would be sufficient to recover the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest, and fees.
−Removed: Net Deferred Loan Origination Fees and Cost
−Removed: included with a new loan origination, the Company receives loan origination fees in conjunction with new loans funded and any indemnified
−Removed: liabilities which are not recorded on the balance sheet from the Company financial institution partners.
−Removed: Where applicable, the loan origination
−Removed: fee is netted with loan origination costs associated with originating a specific loan.
−Removed: These loan origination costs are typically incremental
−Removed: direct costs (non-reimbursed) paid to third parties.
−Removed: Net loan origination fees are initially deferred and presented net of loans receivable
−Removed: asset for portfolio loans, or as a separate liability for indemnified loans, and recognized as interest income utilizing the interest
−Removed: Indemnity Liability
−Removed: the Loan Servicing Agreement and Commercial Alliance Agreement with PCCU, the Company had agreed to indemnify PCCU from all claims related
−Removed: to Company’s cannabis-related business, including but not limited to default-related credit losses as defined in the Loan Servicing
−Removed: The indemnification component of the Loan Servicing Agreement and the Commercial Alliance Agreement (refer to Note 10 to the
−Removed: consolidated financial statements) is accounted for in accordance with accounting standards codification (“ ASC”) 460 Guarantees .
−Removed: In determining the applicability of ASC 460, the Company considered that the agreement outlines a broad indemnification of all claims
−Removed: related to the cannabis-related business.
−Removed: The most immediate and potentially significant of these are potential default-related credit
−Removed: In the lending industry, it is inherently anticipated future credit losses will result from currently issued debt.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: indemnity obligation is subordinate to PCCU’s and other financial institution clients’ other means of collecting on the loans
−Removed: including foreclosure of the collateral, recourse against personal and/or corporate guarantors and other default remedies available in
−Removed: the loan agreements.
−Removed: Since borrowers are not party to the agreement between Company and PCCU, any indemnity payments do not relieve borrowers
−Removed: of their obligation to PCCU nor would such payments preclude PCCU’s right to future recoveries from the debtor.
−Removed: Therefore, as defined
−Removed: in ASC 460, the indemnification clause represents a general loss contingency in that it is an existing condition, situation or set of
−Removed: circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss to the Company that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events
−Removed: occur or fail to occur.
−Removed: SHF’s indemnity liability reflects SHF management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent under
−Removed: the agreement at the balance sheet date.
−Removed: The liability is measured and recognized in accordance with our accounting polices for ACL and
−Removed: addition to default-related credit losses, the Company continuously monitors all other circumstances pursuant to the agreement and identifies
−Removed: events that may necessitate a loss contingency under the Loan Servicing Agreement.
−Removed: A loss contingency is reported when it is both probable
−Removed: that a future event will confirm that a loss had been incurred on or before the related balance sheet date and the loss is reasonably
+Added: Any accrued interest not received by the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual
+Added: is reversed from interest income.
+Added: Subsequent interest payments on nonaccrual loans are recorded using either the cash basis or the cost
+Added: recovery method until the loan meets the criteria for reclassification to accrual status.
+Added: Loans are returned to accrual status when they become
+Added: current (less than ninety days past due) and when there is reasonable assurance of future payment compliance, evidenced by the full satisfaction
+Added: of both principal and interest payments due.
+Added: Loans are assessed individually for potential charge-off,
+Added: which typically occurs at the point of foreclosure.
+Added: Charge-offs are executed to reflect the realizable value of loans that are deemed
+Added: uncollectible.
+Added: The determination of a loan’s past-due status
+Added: is based on its contractual repayment terms.
+Added: Loans are either placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off ahead of their contractual delinquency
+Added: dates if the collection of principal and interest is deemed doubtful, ceasing the recognition of interest income on such loans.
+Added: Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) and Indemnification
+Added: The Company accounts for credit losses in accordance
+Added: with ASC 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (CECL methodology), which replaces the incurred loss model with an expected
+Added: credit loss approach.
