Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC.

 

Refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The Company has included disclosures below regarding basis of presentation and other accounting policies that (i) are required to be disclosed quarterly, (ii) have material changes or (iii) the Company views as critical as of the date of this report.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, statements of shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2025 or other interim periods.

 

The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SHF Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries where the Company has controlling financial interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

 

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock on March 14, 2025. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented herein have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

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, indemnification liabilities, useful lives of intangibles and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Liquidity refers to our ability to meet anticipated cash and cash equivalents demands, including servicing debt, funding operations, maintaining assets, and covering other routine business expenses. Our primary cash outflows include interest repayments, operating costs, and general business expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not have significant capital investment commitments.

 

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company is responsible for evaluating whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations within one year of the financial statement issuance date. This evaluation involves two steps: (1) assessing whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and (2) if substantial doubt is raised, evaluating whether the Company has plans to mitigate that doubt. Disclosures are required if substantial doubt exists or if the Company’s plans alleviate the substantial doubt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

At March 31, 2025, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $931,397 and net working capital deficit of $6,723,895, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,324,647 and net working capital deficit of $983,833 as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its capacity to generate sufficient liquidity to meet financial obligations, including interest repayments under the senior secured note with PCCU (as defined below). The Company has an operating loss of $1,477,923 for the period ended March 31, 2025.

 

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company experienced a $315,583 decline in total operating expenses compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a significant reduction in compensation and employee benefits. However, this positive trend was more than offset by reductions in depository activity, loan interest income, and fee income, in addition to ongoing legal expenses related to shareholder and employee matters. These factors have negatively impacted the Company’s ability to effectively address the going concern uncertainties.

 

 

As a result, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing to resolve these challenges. In the event of a default on the Amended PCCU debt, and if the Company is unable to cure the default within the 30-day grace period, the provisions of the debt agreement would allow PCCU to subjectively accelerate the debt and elect to exercise its security interest in all of the Company’s assets. While it is highly likely that the Company’s services would continue in such circumstances, a default would significantly impact the Company’s valuation.

 

As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $931,397, which management does not believe is sufficient to fund our operations and meet our obligations as they come due over the next 12 months, as the current funds are projected to support operations only through September 30, 2025. Additionally, the reported working capital deficit, excluding adjustments for non-cash activities, along with the uncertainty surrounding cash flows from operations, raises substantial significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently developing plans to address its liquidity needs, the probability of success of such plans is uncertain. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In addition, on April 7, 2025, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it no longer meets the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market due to a stockholders’ equity deficit of $12,288,014 as of December 31, 2024, which was below the required $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity. The Company has been granted 45 calendar days, until May 22, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of this letter for the Company to meet the continued listing standards. The Company intends to timely submit a Compliance Plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Shareholders’ Equity requirement. 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.

 

Management’s Plan Related to Going Concern

 

The Company has implemented several initiatives, to address these concerns, including implementing strategic partnerships to broaden its revenue base by providing additional financial services to cannabis operators, renegotiating its senior secured loan with PCCU, offering stock-based compensation in lieu of cash payments to attract and retain talent, and restructuring the Board of Directors’ compensation to better align with stock-based incentives. Additionally, the Company is actively engaged in discussions with various parties, including potential investors, lenders, and strategic partners, to explore financing options or other strategic transactions. While we are working diligently to secure additional financing, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or that any financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient capital, we may need to curtail certain operations or pursue other strategic alternatives. We continue to closely monitor our cash flow on weekly basis and liquidity position and are taking steps to preserve cash. Management remains focused on executing our business plan while addressing these liquidity challenges in a timely manner.

 

PCCU is the holder of the Senior Secured Promissory Note, as disclosed in Note 9 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As the holder of this note, PCCU has a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. In the event of default, which may reasonably occur due to the liquidity challenges described herein, PCCU may exercise its rights under this security interest.

 

CRB deposits are maintained with the Company’s contracted financial institutions; accordingly, the Company’s liquidity issues do not affect the security of these deposits. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any significant impact on the services provided to our CRB clients. The only foreseeable change would be a potential shift in the ownership of the Company’s underlying business operations.

 

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

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

 

Adopted Standards

 

Income Taxes

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 fiscal years 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for fiscal years 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.

 

Standards Pending to be Adopted

 

ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, was issued in November 2024 and requires public 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 statement of operations, it requires detailed disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal 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 January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). FASB is 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.
