INFORMATION
Unless
the context otherwise indicates, when used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “SHF Holdings,” “Safe Harbor,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to the Company, a Delaware corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SHF, LLC and SHFxAbaca, LLC.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Various
of the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), including information incorporated herein
by reference to other documents, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Forward-looking
statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates,
intentions and future performance and condition, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond
our control, and which may cause the actual results, performance, achievements, or financial condition of the Company to be materially
different from future results, performance, achievements, or financial condition expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
You should not expect us to update any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should be read together with the
discussion of the Company’s risks and uncertainties included under the caption “ Risk Factors ” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on April 10, 2025 and April 30, 2025, respectively.
All
statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking
statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “seek,”
“should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “consider,”
“expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,”
“could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking
statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:
●
Our
profitability is subject to interest rate risk;
●
Volatility
and uncertainty in the financial markets and banking industry may adversely impact our clients and our ability to obtain additional
financial institution clients;
●
Liquidity
risks could affect our operations and jeopardize our financial condition and certain funding sources could increase our interest
rate expense including our ability to operate as a going concern and also remaining in compliance with debt covenants;
●
The
industry in which our clients operate is considered federally illegal, which may pose risk if actions were taken against those customers
or our Company;
●
Our
strategic plan and growth strategy may not be achieved as quickly or as fully as we seek;
●
Our
success depends on our ability to compete effectively in highly competitive markets;
●
Potential
gaps in our risk management policies may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risk, which could negatively affect our
business;
●
We
have identified and we may identify additional deficiencies in our internal controls, which may have an impact on our business operations;
●
Technological
changes affect our business including potentially impacting the revenue stream of traditional products and services, and we may have
fewer resources than many competitors to invest in technological improvements;
●
Our
information systems may experience interruptions and security breaches, and are exposed to cybersecurity threats;
2
Table of Contents
●
Many
of our major systems depend on and are operated by third-party vendors, and any systems failures or interruptions could adversely
affect our operations and the services we provide to our customers;
●
Any
failure to protect the confidentiality of customer information could adversely affect our reputation and subject us to financial
sanctions and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
●
Future
acquisitions and expansion activities may disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our operating results;
●
We
may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our operation needs, including our debt obligations;
●
We
may incur a substantial level of debt that could materially adversely affect our ability to generate sufficient cash to fulfill our
obligations;
●
Our
business may be adversely affected by economic conditions in general and by conditions in the financial markets;
●
We
are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities and adversely affect our earnings;
●
Litigation
and regulatory investigations are increasingly common in our businesses and may result in significant financial losses and/or harm
to our reputation;
●
Liquidity
risks arising from the uncertainty surrounding cash flows, including the potential impact on our ability to continue operations as
a going concern.
●
We
are subject to capital adequacy and liquidity standards, and if we fail to meet these standards, whether due to losses, growth opportunities
or an inability to raise additional capital or otherwise, our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected;
●
Certain
of our existing shareholders could exert significant control over the Company;
●
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price
of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and trading volume could decline;
●
We
have the ability to issue additional equity securities, which would lead to dilution of our issued and outstanding Common Stock;
●
We
are an “emerging growth company,” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to
emerging growth companies, our Common Stock may be less attractive to investors;
●
We
may be unable to attract and retain key people to support our business;
●
In
certain circumstances, we assume the risk of fraud loss and negative balances for accounts maintained at our financial institution
partners;
●
Severe
weather, natural disasters, global pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, theft, civil unrest, government expropriation or other external
events could have significant effects on our business;
●
The
Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements and maintain its listing
on the Nasdaq Capital Market is uncertain and subject to various risks and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially;
●
Other
factors and information in this Form 10-Q and other filings that we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act and Securities Act.
The
foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in
this Form 10-Q. Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future financial condition, results, performance or achievements,
or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. In addition,
our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations. You should not rely on any forward-looking
statements as predictions of future events.
All
written or oral forward-looking statements that are made by us or are attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by
this cautionary note. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation
to update, revise or correct any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise,
except as required by law.

Table of Contents
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Material estimates that are particularly subject to change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses,
allowance for deferred taxes, useful lives of intangibles and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from
the estimates.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Going Concern
Liquidity
refers to our ability to meet expected cash obligations, including operating costs, interest payments, and general business expenditures.
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $ 247,318 and a net working capital deficit of $ 7,381,312 . We also had an accumulated
deficit of $ 122,513,459 and cash used of $ 1,815,338 in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Pursuant
to ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern , we evaluated whether there are conditions or events
that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on current financial projections, we believe substantial doubt exists regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management
projects that the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations, including making required interest payments under
the Amended PCCU Note, see Note 9, beyond October 2025. The total outstanding balance under the Amended PCCU Note is $ 10,748,408 . PCCU
holds a senior security interest in all of the Company’s assets other than the NASDAQ listing. In the event of a payment default,
and if such default is not cured within the applicable grace period, PCCU may exercise its rights under the security agreement, which
could include accelerating the debt and pursuing remedies that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and
financial position.
The
Company continues to experience reductions in depository activity, loan interest income, and fee revenue, as well as increased legal
expenses related to ongoing shareholder and former employee litigation. These factors have further constrained liquidity and
heightened the uncertainty surrounding our ability to sustain operations.
The Company entered into a purchase loan agreement with PCCU on July 31, 2025, for the sale of a loan receivable
of $ 385,642 as of June 30, 2025 to PCCU. On July 31, 2025, the Company received $ 384,527 from PCCU for the sale of the loan, see Note
18, Subsequent Events.
Additionally,
as of June 30, 2025, our stockholders’ deficit of approximately $ 17.9 million is $ 20.4 million below the $ 2.5 million minimum equity
requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(b)(1). We received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and
submitted a compliance plan on May 22, 2025. Nasdaq confirmed receipt of our compliance plan but has provided no additional commentary as of the date of issuance
of the financial statements. There is no assurance
that the Company will regain compliance within the allowed period.
Notwithstanding
these financial conditions, the Company does not anticipate any material impact to services provided to its cannabis-related business
(“CRB”) clients, whose deposits are maintained with the Company’s contracted financial institutions. However, these
developments could ultimately result in changes to the Company’s ownership structure.

Management’s
Plan Related to Going Concern
In
response to the liquidity challenges and the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, management has implemented and is pursuing a series of initiatives intended to improve the Company’s financial condition
and operating flexibility.
The
Company has undertaken several operational and financial restructuring measures, including:
●
Strategic
partnerships aimed at expanding its service offerings to cannabis-related businesses;
●
Renegotiating
terms under its Amended PCCU Note;
●
Offering
stock-based compensation in lieu of cash to conserve liquidity while continuing to attract and retain key personnel and vendors;
●
Restructuring
its employee base to align staffing with current operating needs; and
●
Adjusting
Board of Directors’ compensation to further align interests with shareholders through equity incentives.
In
addition, the Company is actively engaged in discussions with potential investors, lenders, acquirers, investment banks, and strategic
partners to secure additional capital through debt and equity financing or other strategic alternatives. Management is also exploring
the potential use of its Nasdaq listing as part of a broader strategy that may include digital assets or treasury-related partnerships.
These discussions remain preliminary, and no assurance can be given that any such transaction will materialize.
While
these plans are factored and heighted to alleviate the conditions giving rise to the going concern uncertainty, there can be no assurance that they
will be successfully executed, or that any financing will be secured on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to implement
these plans or obtain sufficient funding, it may be required to curtail operations or pursue other strategic alternatives. The Company
is closely monitoring its cash flows, reducing discretionary expenditures, and prioritizing liquidity preservation while continuing to
assess all available strategic options.
Management
remains committed to executing its business plan while addressing the Company’s liquidity needs in a timely and prudent manner.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, and investments with maturities of three months or
less.

Table of Contents
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core
principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines
a five-step process to achieve this core principle including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount
of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
Revenue
from investment income consists primarily of fees earned on deposit accounts such as bank account charges, onboarding income, account activity fee income
and other miscellaneous fees. Revenue is recorded at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, and no
contingencies exist
Revenue
from account fee income is recognized when the Company fulfills its service obligations, and include fees charged for financial services
such as account maintenance, transaction processing, and other related services.
Revenue
from interest on loans is recognized over the loan period as earned. PCCU utilizes a fixed percentage fee structure, under which
the Company receives a share of interest income from CRB-related loans.
Revenue
from investment income is generated based on interest earned on daily deposit balances maintained with financial institutions .
In addition, revenue is recognized from the Company’s Master Program Agreement. The Master Program Agreement is a non-exclusive
and non-transferable right to implement and utilize the Safe Harbor Program.
Stock Compensation
The
Company measures all equity-based payment arrangements to employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation–Stock
Compensation. The Company’s stock compensation cost is measured based on the fair value at the grant date of the stock-based
award. It is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized
as they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on its measurement date using either the current market
price of the stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model, whichever is most appropriate. The Black-Scholes valuation model incorporates
assumptions such as expected term of the instrument, volatility of the Company’s future share price, risk-free interest rate, future
dividend yields, by reference to the underlying terms of the instrument, and the Company’s experience with similar instruments.
Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.
F- 9
Table of Contents
The expected
volatility is based upon the Company’s historical stock price. The risk-free interest rates are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates
for securities with maturities approximating the awards’ expected lives. The expected term of the options granted is calculated
based on the simplified method by taking the average of contractual term and vesting period of the awards. The expected dividend yield
is zero as the Company has never paid dividends and does not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation
techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level
within the hierarchy is described below:
Level
1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level
3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company operates as one reportable segment under Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 280, Segment Reporting. The chief
operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.
Concentration
of Risk
Customers
consist of financial institutions providing services to cannabis related business “CRBs”. Revenues are concentrated in the
United States of America.
Currently,
substantially all deposits are maintained at PCCU, and all transmissions of funds to or from these deposit accounts are handled directly
by PCCU. The Company intends to expand our relationships with other financial institutions that similarly hold the CRB deposit accounts
and handle transmissions of funds to and from the accounts. Although we do not directly hold the deposit accounts, the Company believes
that account retention is a measure of our ability to efficiently and compliantly onboard, validate and monitor CRB accounts.

Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting
Standards Adopted Standards Income Taxes
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU requires public business entities to disclose in their annual rate reconciliation table additional
categories of information about income taxes paid, including certain disclosures that would be disaggregated by jurisdiction and other
categories. This ASU is effective for the year after December 15, 2024. Early adoption would be permitted. The Company has prospectively
adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements: Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. Since
the Concept Statements are not considered authoritative and do not establish GAAP, the ASU eliminates references to these statements
from the codification. The amendments are effective for public entities for the years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all
other entities for the year beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has prospectively adopted this
standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 - Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and
Similar Awards. This standard clarifies whether profits interests and similar awards fall within the scope of stock-based compensation
guidance as defined in ASC Topic 718, introducing examples to demonstrate this. The ASU includes scenarios where profits interest awards
are classified as equity instruments or liability awards and situations where they fall outside ASC Topic 718, being accounted for under
ASC Topic 710. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has prospectively adopted this
standard as of January 1, 2025, and the ASU has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Standards
Pending to be Adopted
In
November 2024, ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, was issued and requires business entities to disaggregate certain
income statement expense captions in the footnotes of the financial statements. Specifically, entities must provide disclosures that
separately present expenses related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and
depletion (including depreciation, depletion, and amortization for oil and gas producing activities). While this ASU does not change
the presentation of expense captions on the face of the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, it requires detailed disclosures
in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for the year beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim
periods within years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively
and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
In
November 2024, ASU 2024-04 — Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of
Convertible Debt Instrument. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have
adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. If an entity early adopts in an interim reporting period, it must adopt as of the beginning
of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively and does
not anticipate a material impact on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
In
January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40). FASB issued this update to clarify the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting
Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendment
in this update applies to all public business entities but only potentially affects non-calendar year-end entities. The amendment in
this update amends the effective date of Update 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance
in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027. Early adoption of update is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU prospectively and does not anticipate a material impact
on its financial reporting as a result of adopting this ASU.
The
Company will continue to monitor the development of these standards and intends to adopt them in accordance with their respective effective
dates. Additional disclosures will be provided in future filings as the Company finalizes its assessment of these standards’ impacts.

3 - Deferred Consideration
On
November 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first Amendment to the Merger Agreement with Rockview Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Abaca”)
and other parties. The Merger Agreement included a $ 30 million payment through a mix of cash and stock, including $ 9 million in cash
over three installments and 105,000 Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), alongside deferred stock considerations based
on a 10-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) formula.
A
Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated October 26, 2023, introduced deferred stock consideration of 291,791
shares of Common Stock at a recalculated value of $ 40.00 per
share. No changes were made to the cash payments. Additionally, 250,000 stock
warrants at $ 40.00 per
share were issued, and a third-anniversary consideration of $ 1.5 million
was introduced, payable in cash or Common Stock with a floor value of $ 40.00 per
share, at the Company’s discretion. Given the Company’s financial condition, the Company currently intends to issue 37,500 unregistered
shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash, computed using the floor value.
Funds are being held by the registry of the Denver County District
Court in accordance with a court-approved motion described further in Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies.
The
adjustments and changes to deferred consideration have been valued and recorded according to ASC 815 in the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.

4 - Goodwill and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The
Company recorded a full impairment of its goodwill and Finite-lived intangible assets, derived predominately from the Abaca Merger, as
of December 31, 2024. As a result, no impairment charges have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June
30, 2024, respectively.
Finite-lived
intangible assets
The
Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually on December 31 unless any events or circumstances
indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets is less than its carrying value.
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company did not perform an interim impairment assessment of its assets, as no triggering events were identified.
Accordingly, no additional impairment charges were recognized during the reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2024, amortization
expense and impairment of finite-lived intangible assets were $ 630,863 and $ 3,090,881 , respectively,
In
accordance with the Company’s established policy, an annual impairment review of finite-lived intangible assets was conducted on
December 31, 2024. The recoverability test compared the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset group to its carrying
amount. As the undiscounted cash flows were determined to be lower than the carrying amount, the Company performed a fair value assessment
using a Discounted Cash Flow analysis. The results indicated that the fair value of the asset group was below its carrying amount, leading
to full impairment charges of $ 0.05 million for market-related intangible assets, $ 0.05 million for customer relationships, and $ 2.99
million for developed technologies.
As
a result, no amortization or impairment charges have been recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Note
6 - Indemnification Liability
As
per the Amended PCCU CAA, see Note 8 Related Party, effective December 31, 2024, the Company no longer serves as a guarantor of
credit losses to PCCU, accordingly the indemnity liability on loans funded by PCCU was reduced to $ 0
as of December 31, 2024.
Prior to the Amended PCCA CAA, PCCU funded loans through a third-party vendor. SHF earned the associated interest and paid PCCU a loan
hosting fee at an annual rate of 0.35 % of the outstanding loan principal funded and serviced by PCCU, and 0.25 % of the outstanding loan
principal serviced by SHF. SHF had agreed to indemnify PCCU for losses on certain PCCU loans. The indemnity liability reflected SHF management’s
estimate of probable credit losses inherent under the agreement as of the balance sheet date.

Account
fee income is generated from businesses maintaining accounts with the Company’s financial institution partners and includes deposit
account fees, account activity fees, and onboarding income. These fees are recognized periodically in accordance with the fee schedule
established with financial institution partners. The Company also earns income from outsourced support services provided to financial
institutions offering banking solutions to the cannabis industry, with revenue recognized based on usage as specified in the agreements.
Loan
interest income includes interest earned on both direct loans and loans under the PCCU CAA, which were indemnified until December 31,
2024. Following the elimination of the indemnification liability upon the execution of the amended PCCU CAA on December 31, 2024, the
indemnified status was removed. Under the Amended PCCU CAA, the Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU has been calculated
using a loan yield allocation formula that incorporates the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s website,
along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU.
Investment
income is derived from interest earned on the daily deposit balances of cannabis businesses held with the Company’s financial institution
partners and is recognized monthly based on the average net daily deposit balance.

8 - Related Party Transactions
PCCU
is considered a related party as it holds a significant ownership interest in the Company, is our most significant financial institution
customer, serves as the Company’s sole lending financial institution, is the counterparty to the PCCU Note, and is where we maintain
the majority of our deposits. The agreements between PCCU and the Company are as follows:
Commercial
Alliance Agreement (the “PCCU CAA”)
On
March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into the PCCU CAA, which was subsequently amended and restated on December 31, 2024. This
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of lending and account-related services, governing the relationship between the Company
and PCCU. The PCCU CAA outlined the application, underwriting, loan approval, and foreclosure processes for loans issued by PCCU to CRBs
(as defined below), as well as the loan servicing and monitoring responsibilities of both parties.
The PCCU CAA includes procedures to be followed in the event of a loan
default to ensure that neither the Company nor PCCU takes title to, or possession of, any cannabis-related assets, including real property
that may have served as collateral for loans funded by PCCU under the agreement. A default by either the Company or PCCU occurs in the
event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or an inability to pay debts in the ordinary course of business. If a default occurs, no services will
be provided under the agreement.
Under
the PCCU CAA, PCCU had the right to receive monthly fees for managing loans. For SHF-serviced loans (CRB loans provided by PCCU but primarily
handled by SHF), a yearly fee of 0.25 % of the remaining loan balance was applied. For loans both financed and serviced by PCCU, a yearly
fee of 0.35 % on the outstanding balance was charged. These fees were calculated based on the average daily balance of each loan for the
preceding month.
Additionally,
until December 31, 2024, the Company was obligated under the PCCU CAA to indemnify PCCU from certain default-related loan losses, as fully
defined in the agreement.
F- 16
Table of Contents
Furthermore,
the PCCU CAA outlined certain fees to be paid to the Company for specified account-related services, including cannabis-related income
such as loan origination fees, interest income on CRB-related loans, participation fees, servicing fees, investment income, account activity
fees, processing fees, and other revenue. These fees were set at $26.08-$28.69
in 2024 .
Regarding
CRB deposits held at PCCU, investment and interest income earned on these deposits (excluding interest income on loans funded by PCCU)
was shared at a ratio of 25% to PCCU and 75% to the Company. Additionally, PCCU maintained its CRB-related deposits to total assets ratio
at 60%, unless otherwise dictated by regulatory, regulator, or policy requirements. The initial term of the PCCU CAA was two years, with
a one-year automatic renewal, unless either party provided a one hundred twenty-day written notice prior to the end of the term .
The
Amended PCCU CAA extends the term through December 31, 2028, with automatic renewals every two years unless terminated with 12 months’
notice.
The
key changes under the Amended PCCU CAA compared to the CAA include:
●
The
indemnification obligations have been eliminated, meaning the Company is no longer required to indemnify PCCU for any loan-related
losses under either the original or future agreements.
●
The
prior fee structure has been replaced by an asset hosting fee structure. Previously, the Company paid various fees to PCCU, including
per-account servicing, investment hosting, and loan servicing fees. Under the new structure, the Company will pay a fixed asset hosting
fee calculated as 0.01 multiplied by the average daily balance of account relationships generated by the Company, divided by the
number of days in the year, and multiplied by the number of days in the applicable month.
●
Provides
the Company with all investment income earned on CRB funds invested on its behalf by PCCU, effectively eliminating the investment
hosting fees that were previously payable.
●
The
Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU are now calculated using a loan yield allocation formula that incorporates
the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s website, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to
determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU. Before the amendment, the Company received the entire interest income from
the loan and was responsible for paying loan servicing fees of 0.25 % of the loan balance. The amendment removes the loan servicing
fees and indemnification liability, while introducing the interest income split between the Company and PCCU.
●
There
are penalties charged to the Company if it fails to maintain the agreed Loan-to-Share (LTS) Ratio. If the LTS Maximum (60%) is over
for over 90 days, the asset hosting fee increases from 1.00% to 1.10% of the average daily balance (ADB) until compliance is restored.
If the LTS Minimum (27.5%) is breached, the Company must pay a quarterly adjustment fee based on the shortfall. Additionally, if
the LTS Ratio exceeds 100% for 90 days, the Company incurs an interest charge at the Federal Funds Rate + 120 bps, calculated daily
and paid monthly .
As
of June 30, 2025, the Company’s incremental loan capacity was approximately $ 6.2
million. The lending capacity limit is based upon an average 30 day CRB daily average related deposits.

On
March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into definitive transaction documents to settle and restructure the deferred obligation
following the Business Combination under which the Company has issued the five-year Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “PCCU Note”)
in the principal amount of $ 14,500,000 bearing interest at 4.25 % and a Security Agreement. PCCU has a security interest in substantially
all of the Company’s assets.
The
PCCU Note amount was to be paid in 54 installments of $ 295,487 each, covering both principal and interest, starting from November 5,
2023. For the period between March 29, 2023, and October 5, 2023, the Company had paid only the interest portion.
On
January 29, 2025, the Company and PCCU agreed to a Letter Agreement to defer principal payments on the PCCU Note for February and March
2025, with interest payments continuing. On March 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Amended PCCU Note, replacing the original note
dated March 29, 2023, and the letter agreement. The Amended PCCU Note has a principal balance of $ 10,748,408 , accruing interest at 4.25 %
annually, with interest-only payments until January 5, 2027, and full repayment by October 5, 2030. The agreement maintains PCCU’s
first-priority security interest and on an annual basis a covenant for debt-service coverage ratio of 1.4 to 1.0 .
On an annual basis, the Company is required to assess debt covenants. In the event of a payment default, and if such
default is not cured within the applicable grace period, PCCU may exercise its rights under the security agreement, which could include
accelerating the debt and pursuing remedies that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial position.

10. - Leases
The
Company has a non-cancellable operating lease for its corporate office space in Golden, Colorado which qualifies for capitalization
under ASC 842 Leases. The Company did not renew the lease, for Little Rock, Arkansas location. As of June 30, 2025, the Golden,
Colorado lease has a remaining term of approximately four years and includes an option to extend for up to ten additional years;
however, the extension option is not recognized as part of the right-of-use asset as it is not reasonably certain to be exercised.
The Company has elected not to capitalize leases with terms of one year or less. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net
right-of-use asset “ROU” recorded under the operating lease was $ 625,355
and $ 703,524 ,
respectively, and the corresponding lease liability was $ 794,493
and $ 874,834 ,
respectively.
The
Company analyzes contracts above certain thresholds to identify leases and lease components. Lease and non-lease components are not separated
for facility space leases. The Company uses its contractual borrowing rate to determine lease discount rates when an implicit rate is
not available. Total lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, included in unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations, is as follows:

11 - Earnings Per Share
Basic
net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income (attributable to common stockholders) by the weighted average
number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For the Company’s diluted income per
share calculation, the Company uses the “if-converted method” method for preferred stock and convertible debt and the
“treasury stock method” method for warrants and options. If the Company has a net loss, dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss
per share.

12 - Forward Purchase Agreement
On
June 16, 2022, the Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) with Midtown East Management NL, LLC (“Midtown
East”), which subsequently assigned obligations to purchase in aggregate 190,243 shares of Common Stock each to Verdun Investments
LLC (“Verdun”) and Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC – Series 1 (“Vellar”) through assignment and novation
agreements (collectively the “FPA Holders”). Under the FPA, the FPA Holders agreed not to exercise their stock redemption
rights in exchange for $ 7.6 million payable in stock or cash at the option of the Company on or before September 28, 2025 (the “FPA
Liability”). The current value of the FPA Liability is reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as the “forward
purchase derivative liability,” and is reduced by certain pre-maturity sales of the Common Stock executed by the FPA Holders.
The
FPA provides the Company with the right to receive the Reset Price, which is $ 25.00 per share as of June 30, 2025, if the FPA Holders
elect to sell their shares prior to the agreement’s maturity on September 28, 2025. Upon sale, the FPA Holders are required to
remit the Reset Price per share sold to the Company, and they retain any proceeds in excess of the Reset Price. If the shares are not
sold before maturity, the Company will receive the shares back. The Company does not have control over the timing of any share sales
and does not share in any price appreciation.
The
Reset Price is subject to monthly downward adjustment to the lowest of (a) the prior Reset Price, (b) $ 200.00 , and (c) the volume-weighted
average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s shares over the ten most recent trading days of the prior month, but not below
$ 100.00 . Additionally, if the Company issues shares or convertible securities at a price lower than the then-current Reset Price, the
Reset Price is adjusted to match that lower offering price. As of June 30, 2025, the Reset Price is $ 25.00 .
If
the FPA Holders sell shares prior to maturity, the Company will receive $ 25.00 per share sold. On March 31, 2025, the Company’s
stock closed at $ 4.2945 per share. No shares have been sold by the FPA Holders during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Management
now believes it is highly improbable that the FPA Holders will sell any shares prior to the September 28, 2025, settlement date, as selling
is not in their best interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reclassified the forward purchase receivable
balance to additional paid-in capital, as the arrangement met the conditions for equity classification under ASC 815-40 and ASC 480.

13 - Warrant Liabilities
Public
and Private Placement Warrants
As
of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had 287,500 public warrants and 13,205 private placement warrants, outstanding,
respectively, each with an adjusted exercise price of $ 230 per share.
The
public and private placement warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Common Stock.
The
public and private placement warrants are exercisable and expire on September 28, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation .
F- 21
Table of Contents
No
warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking
to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws
of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
Redemption
of warrants will become effective when the price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 360.00 , per share. Once the warrants become
redeemable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
●
upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
●
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 360.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Common Stock and equity-linked securities)
for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing no earlier than the date the warrants become exercisable and ending
on the third business day before the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If
and when the warrant becomes redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption rights; this is also the case if the
Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If
the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock
at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
The
private placement warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants and the Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the private placement warrants were not transferable, assignable or saleable, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Additionally, the private placement warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial
purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or
their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the
same basis as the public warrants.
PIPE
Warrants
As
of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 51,125 PIPE warrants outstanding.
The
PIPE warrants have an adjusted exercise price of $ 100.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid in cash except if the shares underlying
the warrants are not covered by an effective registration statement after the six-month anniversary of the closing date, in which case
cashless exercise is permitted. The PIPE Warrants are also subject to adjustment for other customary adjustments for stock dividends,
stock splits and similar corporate actions. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years following the Closing, or September
28, 2027. After the exercise of a PIPE Warrant, the Company may be required to pay certain penalties if it fails to deliver the Common
Stock within a specified period of time .
Abaca
Warrants
As
of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had 250,000 Abaca warrants to purchase common stock .
F- 22
Table of Contents
The
250,000 Abaca warrants have an exercise price of $ 40.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid in cash. An Abaca Warrant may be exercised
only during the period commencing 1 year of the Effective Date and terminating five ( 5 ) years from the effective date of the registration
statement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Abaca Warrant when exercised, in whole or in part, in cash in lieu of
issuing shares of common stock underlying the Warrant. The Company may elect to pay the Registered Holder in cash in the amount equal
to the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of exercise and the warrant price of
$ 40.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock. The Company commits to promptly registering shares of Common Stock issued
upon Abaca Warrant exercises if required by law, ensuring these shares can be sold without restrictions. This registration must be filed
within 45 days of receiving a notification of such a requirement, with failure to do so constituting a default. The Company will endeavor
to keep the registration effective until the Warrants expire. If the registration is not effective within one year, Abaca Warrant holders
may exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis, receiving shares based on a defined fair market value calculation. This process aims
to facilitate the straightforward and lawful exercise of the Abaca Warrants, ensuring the shares issued are readily tradable without
the need for restrictive legends.
Note
14 - Financial Instruments
The
Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company
may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment.
Methodologies used to determine fair value might highly be subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise.
If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective
reporting period.
There
were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring as of June 30, 2025 and December 31,2024

As
of June 30, 2025 and on December 31, 2024, the fair market of the private placement warrants, PIPE warrants, and Abaca warrants were
based on Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model. As of June 30, 2025, the fair market value of the Abaca third anniversary
payment consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation. The valuation was performed by the Company as of June 30, 2025,
and by a third-party prior for prior periods.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, there were no changes in the classification of financial instruments
within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

and $ 70,955 ,
respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company completed a net share settlement for 4,292 and 5,392 , restricted
shares on behalf of certain employees that participate in the Plan upon the vesting of the restricted shares pursuant to the terms of
the Plan, respectively. The net share settlement was in connection with income taxes incurred on restricted shares that vested and
were transferred to the employees during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 which created taxable income for the employees.
At the employees’ request, the Company has paid these taxes on behalf of the employees in exchange for the employees returning an
equivalent value of restricted shares to the Company. These transactions resulted in a decrease of $ 12,771 and $ 49,802 for the six
months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, to shareholders’ deficit on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as the cash
payment of the taxes effectively was a repurchase of the restricted shares granted in previous years.
As
of June 30, 2025, there was $ 19,098 of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to RSU. This unrecognized compensation expense
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately six months based on vesting under the award service conditions.

Nasdaq
Listing Compliance
The Company does not comply with the
Nasdaq Capital Market “Nasdaq” continued listing standards. Furthermore, the Company does not meet the alternative
criteria for continued listing, which are based on the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
On April 7, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that it no longer meets the continued listing requirements.
Specifically, the Company’s stockholders’ equity is below the minimum required stockholders’ equity of $ 2.5
million as stipulated by Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). A compliance plan was submitted to Nasdaq on May 22, 2025; Nasdaq
confirmed receipt of our compliance plan but has provided no additional commentary as of the date of issuance of the financial statements. Management is making
progress towards regaining compliance, however, there is no assurance that Management will be successful.
There
can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Listing
Rule 5550(b)(1) or maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq requirement in the future.
Legal
and Related Matters
The
Company is involved in, or has been involved in, arbitrations or various other legal proceedings that arise from the normal course of
its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable outcomes could have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheets and cash flows due to defense costs, and divert management resources.
The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and other proceedings. With respect to the cases described below, the
Company evaluates the associated developments on a regular basis and accrues a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated.
Abaca
legal case in Denver
On
October 17, 2024, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the Denver County District Court, Case No. 2024CV33187, against
Daniel Roda, Gregory W. Ellis, and James R. Carroll (the “Defendants”), each of whom is a former shareholder of Rockview
Digital Solutions, Inc. (d/b/a Abaca), which the Company acquired in October 2022. The action relates to a $ 3.0 million contingent merger
consideration payment due under the merger agreement and its subsequent amendments. The Company initiated litigation to clarify the appropriate
party authorized to receive the payment following internal disputes among the former Abaca shareholders.
On
November 21, 2024, the Company deposited the $ 3.0 million payment into the registry of the Denver County District Court in accordance
with a court-approved motion, and the funds remain held by the court pending resolution of the dispute.
On
December 19, 2024, the Defendants filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging breach of contract and related causes of action,
and a third-party claim was asserted against a member of the Company’s board of directors. As of the date of these financial statements,
no trial date has been set, and the case remains in the pleading stage.
On
January 16, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all counterclaims filed against the Company.
On
April 18, 2025, the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (i) dismissed Gregory W. Ellis as a counter-plaintiff
and third-party plaintiff because Mr. Ellis lacked standing to bring any claim, and (ii) denied a third-party’s request to intervene
in the litigation. The remainder of the case will proceed to the discovery phase of litigation.
The
Company is vigorously defending against the counterclaims and continues to monitor the proceedings and potential financial exposure.
Based on the current status of the litigation, and in consultation with legal counsel, the Company has determined that no accrual for
loss is required under ASC 450-20 as of June 30, 2025.
The Company made a settlement offer to a former employee related to certain
employment matters and accrued $ 300,000 as of March 31, 2025. The settlement offer was accepted and finalized in the third quarter of
2025. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will pay $ 100,000 in cash over a 12-month period beginning in the third quarter of
2025. In addition, the Company issued 89,308 shares of Common Stock to the former employee, representing a $ 200,000 portion of the total
settlement. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects to reduce the accrued liability by $ 200,000 to reflect the
settlement of that portion through equity issuance.
Note
18 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2025, through the date the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements were issued. Except as disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements previously

the Company issued 89,308
Common Stock, valued at $ 200,000 , or $ 2.24 per share,
see Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies.
On
July 8, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and
Restated – 2022 Equity Incentive Pan (the “Plan”), which amended the Plan to (i) increase the number of shares that
may be issued under the Plan from 351,857 to 626,749 , (ii) provide for the annual automatic increase of such reserve in order to maintain
an authorized amount of 15% of the total outstanding shares, and (iii) provide for an automatic increase of such reserve in the event
of a Dilution Event (as defined in the Plan) in order to maintain an authorized amount of 10% of the total outstanding shares .

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill
Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws. Some of the provisions
of the new tax law affecting corporations include, but are not limited to, current deduction of domestic research expenses, increasing
the limit of the interest expense deduction to thirty percent of EBITDA, and one hundred percent bonus depreciation on eligible property
acquired after January 19, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new tax law will have on its financial condition
and results of operations. Preliminarily, the Company does not anticipate a change to its effective income tax rate and its net deferred
federal income tax assets as the Company maintains a full valuation allowance. The impact of the tax law changes from the OBBBA will
be included in the Company’s financial statements beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
On August 7, 2025, the Board of Director of the Company approved a grant of stock options to its Audit Committee
Chair for 91,751 at an exercise price of $ 2.40 per share, respectively. The stock options vests immediately.

Overview
Founded
in 2015 by Partner Colorado Credit Union (“PCCU”) (please see “Business Reorganization” below for a description
of SHF’s organization), SHF’s mission is to provide access to reliable and compliant financial services for the legal cannabis,
hemp, and related industries by enabling our Financial Institution customers to provide compliance driven banking, lending and other
financial services to our Cannabis Related Business “CRB” clients.
Through
our proprietary platform operating in 42 states and territories, SHF ensures our Financial Institution customers can compliantly provide
the following banking related services to CRBs:
●
Business
checking and savings accounts;
●
Cash
management accounts;
●
Savings
and investment options;
●
Commercial
lending;
●
Courier
services (via third-party relationships);
●
Remote
deposit services;
●
Automated
Clearing House (ACH) payments and origination; and
●
Wire
payments.
Due
to limited availability of payment and other banking solutions for the cannabis industry, most CRBs transact with high volumes of cash.
Our fintech platform benefits CRBs and financial institutions by providing CRBs with access to financial institutions and financial institutions
access to increased deposits with the comfort of knowing that those deposits have been compliantly monitored and validated. By facilitating
the daily deposits of cash receipts between CRBs and financial institutions, the risks associated with high cash on hand are mitigated,
creating a safer atmosphere for the CRB’s employees and the financial institutions at which the deposit accounts are held. Because
the Company is not a financial institution, it does not hold customer deposits. All deposit accounts are held by the Company’s
financial institution customers and all transmissions of funds to and from deposit accounts are handled directly by the financial institutions.
In an industry with limited capital and financing options, we offer access to loan options at what we believe to be competitive rates,
often with less punitive terms than the current industry average. Our financial institution customers offer loan options including senior
secured debt and operating lines of debt. Collateral types include real estate, equipment, and other business assets. We also provide
access to lending options for ancillary service providers serving the cannabis industry as these businesses also can have difficulty
finding reliable financial services.
To
ensure access to consistent and dependable banking access to our CRB clients, we provide our compliance, validation and monitoring services
to financial institutions in a compliance driven environment ensuring strict adherence to the Bank Secrecy Act/FinCEN guidance and related
anti money laundering provisions. Since inception, the Company has assisted in the processing of approximately $25.6 billion in cannabis
related depository funds. Through its relationship with its financial institution clients, the Company has successfully navigated over
16 state and federal banking exams.

In
strategically selected geographic areas, the Company has licensed its proprietary software and Safe Harbor Program (the “Program”)
to other financial institutions to provide compliance-related services to CRBs. As part of the Program, we provide the following to financial
institutions interested in licensing the Program to assist in compliant cannabis banking:
●
Initial

Account
fee income consists of deposit account fees, activity fees and onboarding income. The Company receives a flat fee and lower rates for
ancillary accounts, which are accounts provided to businesses servicing the cannabis industry in general but do not manufacture, possess,
distribute or transport cannabis. The decrease in the account fee income was primarily attributable to the previously disclosed reduction
in the average monthly ending deposit balance.

Account hosting fees increased in the three ended and six months ended
June 30, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the amendment.
In 2024, PCCU charged a monthly per-account fee ranging from $25.32 to $27.85 for accounts hosted on their platform. In contrast, under
the Amended CAA in 2025, the Company pays PCCU a fixed asset hosting fee calculated as 0.01 multiplied by the average daily balance of
account relationships generated by the Company, divided by the number of days in the year, and then multiplied by the number of days in
the applicable month. This new asset hosting fee replaced the prior Investment Hosting Fee and Loan Hosting Fee, as described below.
We anticipate that the new asset hosting fee will be more expensive than the disaggregated fees in the PCCU CAA.
The
Company provides similar account services and outsourced support to other financial institutions that offer banking services to the cannabis
industry. These services are provided under the Safe Harbor Master Program Agreement.
Investment
Income
Some
of the Company’s financial institutions pay us interest on daily account balances as per the rates outlined in the agreements.
The decrease in investment income was primarily attributable to a reduction in average daily deposit balances.
During
2024, under the terms of the PCCU CAA, the Company paid a hosting fee equal to 25% of the investment income generated from PCCU-related
funds. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, PCCU’s contribution to investment income totaled $435,238 and $1,166,663,
resulting in $117,620 and $277,721 investment hosting fees. These fees were recorded under general and administrative expenses in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In
contrast, under the Amended PCCU CAA effective December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer required to pay investment hosting fees to
PCCU. For the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2025, PCCU’s contribution
to investment income was $260,387 and $552,823.
Loan
Interest Income
Loan
interest income includes interest earned from both direct loans and those issued under the PCCU CAA, which were indemnified by the Company
through December 31, 2024. Upon the execution of the Amended PCCU CAA on December 31, 2024, the indemnification liability was eliminated,
and the indemnified status of these loans was removed.

Table of Contents
The
majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of CRB loans originated by PCCU and primarily serviced by SHF. Under the original
PCCU CAA in 2024, the Company received 100% of the loan interest income associated with these loans and was obligated to pay PCCU a servicing
fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance.
Effective
December 31, 2024, the Amended PCCU CAA eliminated the Company’s role as guarantor, thereby removing the 100% indemnity liability.
Additionally, under the amended agreement, the method for calculating loan interest income was revised, and loan service fees were eliminated.
The new loan yield allocation formula factors in the Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Rate and a proprietary risk rating to determine
the interest income split for each loan.
The
reduction in loan interest income for the period is mainly attributed to the implementation of the new formula and the removal of the
indemnification structure. According to the Amended CAA, the Company’s interest income on all loans with PCCU is now calculated
using a loan yield allocation formula. This formula takes into account the Constant Maturity US Treasury Rate from the Federal Reserve’s
website, along with a proprietary risk rating formula to determine the fee split between the Company and PCCU. Prior
to the amendment, the Company retained the full interest income from the loans and was responsible for paying loan servicing fees of
0.25% of the loan balance. The amendment eliminates both the loan servicing fees and indemnification liability, while introducing the
new interest income split between the Company and PCCU. The interest income split, given the current portfolio of loans, and using the loan yield allocation formula is approximately
39% in favor of the Company, the remainder is retained by PCCU. The interest income split will vary depending on changes to the loan portfolio.
For
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $506,233 and $1,046,455 in loan interest income attributable
to PCCU activities. In comparison, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $1,836,092 and $3,472,848
in loan interest income from the same activities. Related expenses for the 2024 period included $36,156 and $72,057 in loan servicing
fees, in accordance with the PCCU CAA, which were reported under general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations.

Deferred
consideration from the Abaca acquisition is classified as a derivative liability under ASC 815 and recorded at fair value, with
periodic adjustments. Its value fluctuates based on factors such as the Company’s stock price, market volatility, risk-free
interest rates, and amendments to the agreement. For the three months and six months ending June 30, 2025, the fair value of
deferred consideration decreased by $252,495, of 119.4% and $276,030, or 69.7%. This decrease was predominantly due to a decline in
the stock price which affected the fair value of
the warrants and third anniversary payment.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, primarily relates to the Senior
Secured Promissory Note. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense decreased by $53,489, or 31.7%, compared to the same
period in 2024, primarily due to principal repayments on the note. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense decreased
by $94,875, or 29.4%, compared to the prior-year period, also driven by principal repayments on the Senior Secured Promissory Note.
The Company has warrant liabilities related to Public, Private Placement,
PIPE, and Abaca Warrants, which may be settled in cash or stock at the option of the Company. The liabilities are subject to adjustments
based on its fair value which is calculated by the Black Scholes Merton option pricing method and Monte Carlo Simulation method. Changes
in the Company’s stock price primarily resulted in the decrease in fair market value.

Key
Metrics
In
addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, our management regularly monitors certain
measures in the operation of our business. These key metrics are discussed below.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
In
addition to financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP), this document contains non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding our results of
operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation
to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.
Earnings
Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA
To
provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of
which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net profit before taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case
of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Below we have provided
a reconciliation of net profit (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA.
We
present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance,
generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe
that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results
in the same manner as our management.
EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis
of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
●
although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future,
and both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital
expenditure requirements;
●
EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs; and
●
EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Because
of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net profit
and our other GAAP results.
A
reconciliation of net profit to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Metrics
The
Company monitors the following key metrics for its business operations.
Total
account balances, number of accounts and average account balances
Our
ability to originate loans for PCCU is dependent on the size of our managed deposit base and number of active accounts. In addition,
fees are generated based on open accounts and account activity. We monitor account activity including deposits, withdrawals and ending
account balance daily. Total account balances represent the balance of onboarded and monitored deposits on hand at financial institution
clients at period end. Average account balance represents the total account balance divided by the number of accounts at the period end.

Table of Contents
Account
Fees Per Average Active Accounts Managed
Currently
a significant amount of our fees is generated from active accounts and account activity. As a result, we monitor account openings and
closings on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. We strive to meet the appropriate balance between depository balances and fees and therefore
review account fees per average number of active accounts managed.

For
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025, there was an increase in the average number of accounts; however, the average
monthly balance and fees declined due to a reduction in high value accounts compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
2024. The Company is focused on expanding its client base through various strategic partnerships, which is expected to drive growth
in both account balances and fees in the upcoming quarters.

Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Capital Resources.
Liquidity refers to our ability to meet expected cash obligations, including
operating costs, interest payments, and general business expenditures. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $247,318
and a net working capital deficit of $7,381,312. We also had an accumulated deficit of $122,513,459 and used cash of $1,815,338 in operating
activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Pursuant
to ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern , we evaluated whether there are conditions or events
that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on current financial projections, we believe substantial doubt exists regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management
projects that the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations, including making required interest payments under
the Amended PCCU Note, see Note 9), beyond October 2025. The total outstanding balance under the Amended PCCU Note is $10,748,408. xPCCU
holds a senior security interest in all of the Company’s assets other than the NASDAQ listing. In the event of a payment default,
and if such default is not cured within the applicable grace period, PCCU may exercise its rights under the security agreement, which
could include accelerating the debt and pursuing remedies that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and
financial position.
The
Company continues to experience reductions in depository activity, loan interest income, and fee revenue, as well as legal expenses
related to ongoing shareholder and former employee litigation. These factors have further constrained liquidity and heightened the
uncertainty surrounding our ability to sustain operations.
The Company entered into a purchase loan agreement
with PCCU on July 31, 2025, for the sale of a loan receivable of $385,642 as of June 30, 2025 to PCCU. On July 31, 2025, the Company received
$384,527 from PCCU for the sale of the loan, see Note 18, Subsequent Events.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2025,
our stockholders’ deficit of approximately $17.9 million is $20.4 million below the $2.5 million minimum equity requirement for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(b)(1). We received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and submitted a
compliance plan on May 22, 2025. Nasdaq confirmed receipt of the plan but has provided no additional commentary as of the date of
issuance of the financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance within the allowed period.
Notwithstanding
these financial conditions, the Company does not anticipate any material impact to services provided to its cannabis-related
business (CRB) clients, whose deposits are maintained with the Company’s contracted financial institutions. However, these
developments could ultimately result in changes to the Company’s ownership structure.
Management’s
Plan Related to Going Concern
In
response to the liquidity challenges and the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, management has implemented and is pursuing a series of initiatives intended to improve the Company’s financial condition
and operating flexibility.
The
Company has undertaken several operational and financial restructuring measures, including:
●
Strategic
partnerships aimed at expanding its service offerings to cannabis-related businesses;
●
Renegotiating
terms under its Amended PCCU Note;
●
Offering
stock-based compensation in lieu of cash to conserve liquidity while continuing to attract and retain key personnel;
●
Restructuring
its employee base to align staffing with current operating needs; and
●
Adjusting
Board of Directors’ compensation to further align interests with shareholders through equity incentives.

Table of Contents
In addition, the Company is actively engaged in discussions
with potential investors, lenders, acquirers, investment banks, and strategic partners to secure additional capital through debt and equity
financing or other strategic alternatives. Management is also exploring the potential use of its Nasdaq listing as part of a broader strategy
that may include digital assets or treasury-related partnerships. These discussions remain preliminary, and no assurance can be given
that any such transaction will materialize.
While these plans are factored and heighted to alleviate
the conditions giving rise to the going concern uncertainty, there can be no assurance that they will be successfully executed, or that
any financing will be secured on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to implement these plans or obtain sufficient funding,
it may be required to curtail operations or pursue other strategic alternatives. The Company is closely monitoring its cash flows, reducing
discretionary expenditures, and prioritizing liquidity preservation while continuing to assess all available strategic options.
Management remains committed to executing its business
plan while addressing the Company’s liquidity needs in a timely and prudent manner.
Cash
Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used $1,815,338 of cash in operating activities to fund its net
loss of $1,757,914. Operating cash flow benefited from $783,762 in non-cash stock-based compensation and $532,761 generated through effective
working capital management. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company cash provided by operations was $2,704,637 primarily from a net income
of $2,991,203, increases in changes in operating assets and liabilities $1,390,207, offset by non-cash expenses of $1,340,207.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, the Company
generated cash from investing activities was $6,545 and $6,083 from the proceeds of loan, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30,
2025, and June 2024, the Company used from financing activities was $268,536 and $1,487,507 was primarily from the repayment of the
senior secured promissory notes, respectively.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
As
of June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes in the application or the nature of accounting estimates that are considered critical
in nature from those presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new
or revised accounting standards issued until such time as those standards apply to private companies. In electing this relief, the JOBS
Act does not preclude an EGC from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private
companies. SHF has elected to use this relief and will do so until the earlier of the date that it (a) is no longer an emerging growth
company or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result of the
elected JOBS Act relief, these combined and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies
that do not elect JOBS Act relief or choose to early adopt different accounting pronouncements than SHF.

Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
In
connection with our management assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025,
the Company has identified material weaknesses within our internal controls over financial reporting. Refer to Item 4A of this document
for additional details.
Related
Party Relationships
PCCU
is considered a related party as it holds a significant ownership interest in the Company, is our most significant financial institution
customer, serves as the Company’s sole lending financial institution, is the counterparty to the PCCU Note, and is where we maintain
the majority of the Company’s deposits. Refer to Note 8 Related Party Transactions, to the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements that describe the related party transactions.

4A. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s
Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods 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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, it was concluded
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to the material weaknesses described
below. Considering these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our interim financial
statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects
our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents
The
Company does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls
and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected
all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, solely due to the below-mentioned material weaknesses,
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not
effective as of June 30, 2025.
Material
Weaknesses
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
The
following are the material weaknesses over financial reporting identified by management:
● Revenue
Recognition: The Company is unable to support the completeness and accuracy of its
activity fee income generated from deposits held at PCCU, as such activity fees are compiled
from a system from which the Company does not have the ability to fully rely upon. As such,
there is a potential that revenues recognized could have been misstated.
● Accounting
for Financial Instruments: The Company did not appropriately apply the guidance under
ASC 470, Debt, in connection with the reclassification of the Amended PCCU Note. The PCCU
Note, which was amended on March 1, 2025, met the criteria for classification as a non-current
liability under ASC 470, but was incorrectly presented as a current liability in the Company’s
financial statements. As a result, management deemed that remediation efforts related to
previously reported matter relating to the accounting, disclosure and valuation of complex
financial instruments unsuccessful.
● Accounting
for Forward Purchase Receivables: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company did not appropriately reclassify the forward purchase receivables to additional paid-in-capital
after certain conditions preventing its classification as equity were overcome. The Company did not have adequate documentation regarding the valuation of these receivables in accordance
with the relevant accounting literature. This matter, corrected prior to issuance of the
quarterly report, could have resulted in a misstatement in the valuation of the reported
forward purchase receivables and additional paid-in-capital.
● Going
Concern: In applying ASC 205-40 and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59 (Topic 1.M), management failed to recognize that substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed as of the
December 31, 2024. Management’s evaluation initially failed to be evaluated based on
financial cash flow projections from the date the financial statements would be issued. This
matter could affect the accuracy and completeness assertions related to the presentation
of liquidity and going concern disclosures in the financial statements.
● Information
Technology: The Company did not regularly monitor, review, and restrict privileged
user access to key financial applications, most significantly, the Jack Henry system utilized
by PCCU which tracks account activity fees and the Company’s accounting system. Certain
individuals, including the former Chief Financial Officer (CFO), retained unnecessary privileged
access to these systems during the reporting period. Although audit logs confirm that no
unauthorized transactions were executed and there is no evidence of intentional misuse of
access, the presence of such elevated access created an environment where critical controls—particularly
those relying on the segregation of duties—could have been overridden or bypassed.
● Determination of stock compensation expense:
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company initially reversed all previously recognized stock compensation expense under
ASC 718 related to stock options that were fully vested at the time of the employee’s contract termination. Further, the fair value
of certain stock option awards was not calculated correctly. The Black-Scholes option pricing model contained incorrect inputs, specifically
for the expected term and stock price. The error in recording stock-based compensation resulted from a material weakness in the management
review process.
The
Company has implemented a remediation plan for each of the matters listed above. Management is in the process of assessing the effectiveness
of these remediation efforts. Such remediation efforts include replacing the former Chief Financial Officer with a Senior Vice President
(SVP) Controller with substantial SEC Registrant experience, enhancing the support provided to the SVP Controller, and implementing enhanced
technology security procedures. Completion of remediation does not provide assurance that our remediation or other controls will continue
to operate properly. A failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in errors in its financial
statements that could require the Company to restate past financial statements, cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations
and cause investors to lose confidence in the Company’s reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely
affect the Company.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than as noted above in, the June 30, 2025, material weaknesses, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during six months ended June 30, 2025 covered by this Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation
of the material weaknesses and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify
and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we
have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated
in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.
