NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Calculator New Pubco, Inc.) (the “Company” or “AtlasClear Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation and, prior to the Business Combination (defined below), was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (“Quantum”). Quantum was incorporated in Delaware on October 1, 2020. Quantum was a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On February 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced transactions pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated November 16, 2022 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Quantum, Calculator Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant (“Merger Sub 1”), Calculator Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant (“Merger Sub 2”), AtlasClear, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“AtlasClear”), Atlas FinTech Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Atlas FinTech”) and Robert McBey. The transactions consummated as a result of the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from “Calculator New Pubco, Inc.” to “AtlasClear Holdings, Inc.” As a result, the operation history of Quantum survived the merger. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, AtlasClear received certain assets from Atlas FinTech and Atlas Financial Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation, and (ii) Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), AtlasClear completed the acquisition of broker-dealer, Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc. (“Wilson-Davis”).

On February 16, 2024, AtlasClear and Pacsquare Technologies, LLC (“Pacsquare”) entered into a Source Code Purchase and Master Services Agreement (the “Pacsquare Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which AtlasClear purchased a proprietary trading platform with clearing and settlement capabilities that will be developed by Pacsquare, including certain software and source code (the “AtlasClear Platform”).

AtlasClear Holdings’ goal is to build a cutting-edge technology enabled financial services firm that would create a more efficient platform for trading, clearing, settlement and banking, with evolving and innovative financial products that focus on financial services firms. AtlasClear Holdings is a fintech driven business-to-business platform that expects to power innovation in fintech, investing, and trading.

AtlasClear does not meet the definition of a business and therefore was treated as an asset acquisition by AtlasClear Holdings. As such the assets contributed from Atlas FinTech and the net assets of AtlasClear were recognized at historical cost. ASC 350 prohibits the recognition of goodwill in an asset purchase with related parties.

Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Increase

On December 31, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-60 reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 60 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one share of common stock, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split did not change the par value of the common stock however the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 525,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

The reverse stock split has been applied retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for all periods presented. All share and per-share amounts, including earnings per share (“EPS”), have been adjusted accordingly to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The impact of the reverse stock split is summarized as follows:

●

The total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased from 23,275,171 to 388,003 as of December 31, 2024.

●

Earnings per share and other per-share data were adjusted proportionally to reflect the reverse stock split.

●

The reverse stock split had no impact on the Company’s total stockholders’ equity, net income, or overall financial condition.

Management believes that the reverse stock split was necessary to regain compliance with stock exchange listing requirements and improve marketability of the stock.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $6,879,552 in its operating bank accounts and working capital deficit of $7,441,131.

The Company has raised and intends to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the liquidity of the Company raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. As such the Company has accrued for the estimated excise tax as a result of the redemptions that occurred after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the excise tax payable is $2,260,783 and $2,067,572, respectively. The December 31, 2024 balance includes $193,211 in penalties due to late filing and non payment of taxes as of December 31, 2024. As of the date of filing the Company has not paid the excise tax and as such the Company may be subject to interest and penalties which have been estimated and accrued.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT, as filed with the SEC on October 16, 2024. The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-KT. The interim results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2025 or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill

We perform our goodwill impairment assessment whenever events or changes in facts or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist and during the fourth quarter each year. The cash flow estimates, and discount rates incorporate management’s best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the date of evaluation. As a result of the Deferred tax the Goodwill balance was reduced by the benefit received. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of goodwill was $6,142,525, as described in Note 10.

Intangible Assets

Developed technology and customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over the ten-year and twelve-year estimated useful lives of the assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of developed technology and customer list was $1,880,725 and $13,536,472, respectively, as described in Note 10 and Note 11.

Impairment of Long-lived and Intangible Assets

The Company had no impairment charges during the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes model approach (see Note 14).

Net (Loss) Income per Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. (Loss) Income is allocated between redeemable and non-redeemable shares based on relative amounts of weighted average shares outstanding. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from (loss) income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued and outstanding. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the calculation excludes the dilutive impact of warrants because none would be issued under treasury method. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the dilutive shares were excluded as including them would be antidilutive. For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the convertible financial instrument and other share obligations were included in the dilutive calculation under the as converted method, as such the number of shares were included as if the shares were issued on July 1, 2024 and the interest expense and the change in fair value associated with the financial instruments was adjusted from net income to determine the numerator and denominator.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the calculation excludes the dilutive impact of these instruments because the exercise of the warrants were contingent upon the occurrence of future events and inclusion would be antidilutive.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share of common stock (in dollars, except share amounts):

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company has expanded its segment disclosures to provide additional transparency regarding significant segment expenses and how segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Executive Chair and Principal Executive and Financial Officer who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide

additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. CASH SEGREGATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS

The required reserve as of December 31, 2024, was calculated to be $19,801,604. Wilson-Davis had $20,488,117 cash on deposit in the reserve account, which was $686,513 over the amount required. On January 2, 2025, Wilson-Davis withdrew $185,000 from the reserve account in accordance with the rule, which resulted in an excess of $501,513.

Such collateral is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, as needed, for accounts in which collection is uncertain. Management periodically evaluates each account on a case-by-case basis to determine impairment. Accounts that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense. Bad debt expense net of bad debt recoveries and trading error adjustments for the three- and six-month period ended December 31, 2024 was $5,707 and $6,346, respectively and $0 for the three and six months period ended December 31, 2023.

Earnout liability

In connection with the Closing, and pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, stockholders of AtlasClear (the “AtlasClear Stockholders”) received merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration Shares”) consisting of 4,440,000 shares pre reverse split or 74,000 post reverse split of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition, the AtlasClear Stockholders will receive up to 5,944,444 shares pre reverse split or 99,074 post reverse split of Common Stock (the “Earn Out Shares”) upon certain milestones (based on the achievement of certain price targets of Common Stock following the Closing). In the event such milestones are not met within the first 18 months following the Closing, the Earn Out Shares will not be issued. Atlas FinTech will also receive up to $20 million of shares of Common Stock (“Software Products Earn Out Shares”), which will be issued to Atlas FinTech upon certain milestones based on the achievement of certain revenue targets of software products contributed to AtlasClear by Atlas FinTech and Atlas Financial Technologies Corp. following the Closing. The revenue targets will be measured yearly for five years following Closing, with no catch-up between the years. The Earn Out provision was analyzed under ASC 480 and ASC 815. the Software Products Earn Out Shares Payments in this transaction are within the scope of ASC 480 and therefore will be accounted for as a liability and included in the purchase price consideration. The revenue earnout was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to determine if and when the revenue hurdles would be achieved. The revenue volatility and revenue to equity correlation was based upon the same guideline public companies. The Monte Carlo simulation was performed simultaneously on both the share price and revenue to account for the correlation between revenue and equity. See Note 14 Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

In connection with the Closing on February 9, 2024, the Company and Chardan agreed that the fee, in the amount of $7,043,750, payable by the Company to Chardan upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, would be waived in exchange for the issuance by the Company to Chardan of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000. Such note (the “Original Chardan Note”) was issued by the Company at the Closing. Under ASC 815 the conversion feature was bifurcated resulting in a conversion liability of $404,483 at issuance.

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company received conversion notices for an aggregate principal amount of $725,000, and received a total of 2,263,031 pre reverse split or 37,717 post reverse split shares of Common Stock, of which 366,750 pre reverse split or 6,113 post reverse split were registered shares transferred from Quantum Ventures and 127,159 pre reverse split or 2,119 post reverse split were registered shares transferred from Atlas FinTech, (see Note 8 above), and 1,769,122 pre reverse split or 29,485 post reverse split were newly issued registered shares.

The Original Chardan Note had a stated maturity date of February 9, 2028. Interest accrued at a rate per annum equal to 13%, and was payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest was to be, at the election of the Company, either paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock, at a rate equal to 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. The Chardan Note was convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at a conversion price equal to 85% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. In addition, on each conversion date the Company was required to pay to Chardan in cash (or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, a combination of cash and Common Stock) all accrued interest on the Original Chardan Note and all interest that would have otherwise been accrued on the amount of the Original Chardan Note being converted if such converted amount would be held to three years after the applicable conversion date. Conversion of the Original Chardan Note, including the issuance of shares to pay interest thereon, was limited to the extent that such conversion would result in Chardan (together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with Chardan or its affiliates) beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such conversion. The conversion price applicable to the Original Chardan Note was subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and was subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The Original Chardan Note was subject to a demand for immediate repayment in cash upon the occurrence of certain events of default specified therein.

Also on February 9, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Chardan (the “Chardan Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the SEC within 45 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Original Chardan Note and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible after filing. If the registration statement was not filed within 45 days after the Closing or was not effective within a specified period after the Closing (or if effectiveness is subsequently suspended or terminated for at least 15 days, subject to certain exceptions), then the interest rate of the Original Chardan Note increased by 2% for each week that such event continued. The Chardan Registration Rights Agreement also provided that the Company was obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provided Chardan with customary “piggyback” registration rights.

On May 7, 2024, Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in an action entitled Chardan Capital Markets LLC v. AtlasClear Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2024-0480-LWW, for alleged breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and specific performance, alleging that the Company breached the Chardan Registration Rights Agreement, by failing to file a registration statement with the SEC to permit the public resale of certain registerable securities in an amount sufficient to cover the Original Chardan Note. Chardan alleged that the Company’s failure to file the registration statement left Chardan without the ability to convert and sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock as allowed for under the Original Chardan Note.

On October 23, 2024, the Company, Quantum Ventures, Chardan and Chardan Quantum LLC entered into an agreement pursuant to which they settled the claim referenced above, and any and all related claims (the “Settlement Agreement”). In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Chardan exchanged the Original Chardan Note for an amended non-interest bearing, convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,209,764 (as amended the “Chardan Note”). While the Chardan Note does not bear interest, it can be converted from time to time by Chardan into shares of Common Stock, on terms substantially similar to the conversion provisions in the Original Chardan Note, and any remaining outstanding principal is to be repaid in full on the same maturity date as the Original Chardan Note.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, on October 23, 2024, the Company and Chardan entered into an amendment (the “Chardan Amended RRA”) to the registration rights agreement, dated February 9, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file, by December 31, 2024, a registration statement with the SEC, registering the resale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Amended Chardan Note. If the resale registration statement (i) was not filed by December 31, 2024, then the interest rate of the Amended Chardan Note will increase by 2% per annum until the date of the filing, and shall be prorated for such period until the date of such filing and (ii) is not effective by March 31, 2025, then the interest rate on the Amended Chardan Note will increase to 19.99% per annum from March 31, 2025 until the date of effectiveness.

The Amended Note is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) in scope of ASC 470-60, as the Company is both experiencing financial difficulty and Chardan has granted a concession. Since the debt restructuring involves a modification of terms of the note, it is accounted for prospectively from the time of restructuring (i.e., a new effective interest rate is established based on the carrying value of the Original Note and the revised cash flows). In addition, the maximum total undiscounted future cash payments $5,209,764 exceed the carrying amount of the Original Note $3,282,518; therefore, no adjustment to the carrying amount of the restructured debt is required and no restructuring gain is recognized. Any new fees to Chardan should be capitalized and amortized, while fees paid to third parties should be expensed. Any changes to the terms of the bifurcated derivative will go through income as a change in fair value.

During each of the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $137,872 in interest expense on the principal and $86,209 and $178,940, respectively, of interest related to the amortization of the debt discount created with the derivative liability.

As of December 31, 2024, the principal balance on the note was $5,209,764 and $1,834,516 of unamortized remaining discount for total carrying balance of $3,375,248. See Note 14 for additional information on the fair value and change in fair value related to the derivative.

The proceeds raised in the Note Financing were used to pay a portion of the purchase price paid at Closing to the Wilson-Davis Sellers.

The Funicular Note has a stated maturity date of November 9, 2025. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 12.5%, and is payable semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, be either paid in cash or paid in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Funicular Note. In the event of an Event of Default (as defined in the Funicular Note), in addition to Funicular’s other rights and remedies, the interest rate would increase to 20% per annum. The Funicular Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share pre reverse split or $600 post reverse split (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment monthly to a price equal to the trailing five-day VWAP, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share pre reverse split or $120 post reverse split (provided that if the Company sells stock at an effective price below $2.00 per share pre reverse split or $120 post reverse split, such floor would be reduced to such effective price), and is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like. The Company has the right to redeem the Funicular Note upon 30 days’ notice after the earlier of August 7, 2024 and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Funicular Note), and Funicular would have the right to require the Company to redeem the Note in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Note), in each case for a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As a result of the delay in filing the registration statement the Company incurred $1,500,000 in fees through June 30, 2024 which has been added to the principal of the note. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred an additional $600,000 in fees due to delays in the registration statement and the unpaid interest of $407,507 was applied to the principal balance for a total principal balance of $8,507,507 as of December 31, 2024. In addition, due to the delayed registration statement the company will be required to pay 20% interest on principal balance due.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $899,165 in interest expense on the principal and $180,085 of interest related to the amortization of the debt discount issued with the note. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the notes was $8,745,699 net of discount of $611,496. During the six month period the Quantum Ventures transferred 368,004 pre reverse split or 6,133 post reverse split registered shares to pay for accrued interest of $217,373.

As a result of the Company’s lack of authorized shares to satisfy its share obligations, the note now falls under ASC 815 and is required to be accounted for at fair value with change in fair value recorded in the statement of operations. See valuation approach and further disclosure on Note 14.

The Company has valued the obligation as of June 30, 2024 of $3,256,863 based on the cash value that would need to be renumerated by the Company. The value of the cash that would be paid was deemed to be the fair value of the contingent guarantee. The Company analyzed the public sales of the shares transferred to determine the amount of cash recovered less the $4,000,000 contingent guarantee resulting in a liability due of $3,256,863. As of February 9, 2024 the 885,010 shares transferred by the Founder were valued at $8,850,100 which was greater than the $4,000,000 guaranteed value as such the value of the guarantee was deemed to be zero on February 9, 2024. As a result of the decrease in stock prices through June 30, 2024 the Sellers have recovered $743,137 in cash through sales of the shares transferred resulting in the value of the liability as of June 30, 2024 to be $3,256,863.

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Atlas FinTech agreed to transfer 1,234,990 in registered shares to the sellers under the contingent guarantee, resulting in a reduction in the contingent guarantee of $1,210,290 based on the fair value of the shares transferred on the transfer date.

On August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to modify the terms of the contingent guarantee where the Company agreed to enter into a convertible note on the amount that has not yet been recovered through share issuances of $2,886,347 plus a 5% convenience fee applied resulting in the Company issuing a convertible note of $3,030,665 due February 9, 2026.

Tau Agreement - ELOC

On July 31, 2024, the Company and Tau Investment Partners LLC (“Tau”) entered into an at-the-market agreement (the “ELOC”). Pursuant to the ELOC, upon the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company has the right from time to time at its option to direct Tau to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of the Common Stock, up to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $10 million (the “Aggregate Limit”), over a 24-month term commencing on the date of the ELOC. The Company may request, on dates determined by it, individual advances up to the greater of 100,000 shares or such amount as is equal to 50% of the average daily volume traded of the Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each advance, subject to the Aggregate Limit. Any such advance will reduce amounts that the Company can request for future advances and draw downs. The purchase price payable for the shares sold pursuant to any advance will be equal to 97% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during a pricing period of three consecutive trading days following Tau’s receipt of the applicable advance notice. Tau’s obligation to purchase the shares the Company requests to sell pursuant to any advance is conditioned upon, in addition to certain other customary closing conditions, the continued effectiveness of a registration statement pursuant to which Tau may freely sell the shares to be received.

The issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale by Tau of at least 10,000,000 pre reverse split or 166,667 post reverse split shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Amount”).

The Company sold to Tau the Common Stock at a Purchase Price equal to 97% of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during a pricing period of 3 consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day the Advance Notice is received by the Investor. If the VWAP on any trading day during a pricing period under was below a minimum price set by the Company in connection with each Advance Notice (the “MAP”) then for each such trading day (i) the requested Advance amount was automatically reduced by an amount equal to 33% of the original requested Advance amount and (ii) such day was not be factored into the determination of the Market Price.

The Company analyzed both the Commitment Amount and the Commitment fee under ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Commitment Amount is classified as a liability and is initially measured at fair value. The Commitment Amount is subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. ASC 815-40-35-8 through 35-9 require an issuer to reassess the classification of both freestanding equity contracts and embedded equity features at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes because of events occurring during the reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

As consideration the Company was to issue to the Investor a fee equal to 1.25% of the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Fee”) due in shares upon closing based on the closing price on the day prior to approval of the S-1. As the Commitment Fee is a variable share obligation within the scope of ASC 480, it must be initially and subsequently measured at fair value through earnings at each reporting period.

When estimating the fair value, the Company has followed the guidance in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.

As both the Commitment Amount and Commitment Fee were issued in a single transaction and are both remeasured to fair value through earnings in each subsequent reporting period, the proceeds received should be allocated to each freestanding financial instrument on a relative fair value basis. As such, as of December 31, 2024 the Company requested advance notices for a total of $569,345 which resulted in approximately 2,475,000 shares pre reverse split or 41,250 post reverse split to be issued.

Tau sold and settled 2,475,000 shares pre reverse split or 41,250 post reverse split of the shares which were issued under the ELOC resulting in realized sale of $546,099, Tau purchased the shares for $569,345 resulting in a realized loss to the Company of $23,245. As a result, the Company has a subscription receivable of $12,717 and received $533,382 in cash proceeds under the ELOC.

Hanire Purchase Agreement

On December 31, 2024, AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Hanire, LLC (“Hanire”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Hanire Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase and sale, in a private placement, of (i) up to 333,333 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $15.00 per share (after giving effect to the 1-for-60 reverse stock split effected by the Company on December 31, 2024), and (ii) a convertible promissory note (the “Hanire Note”) in the principal amount of up to $40 million (plus any amount by which the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investor for the Shares is less than $5 million as a result of the Share Limit, as defined below). To the extent the number of Shares to be purchased by Hanire at the Closing would cause Hanire to own more than 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, the number of Shares will be reduced such that the number of Shares is equal to 19.9% of the total outstanding voting stock (the “Share Limit”). The consummation of the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Note (the “Hanire Closing”) is to occur at such time as agreed to by the Company and Hanire on or before January 31, 2025 (subject to extension by up to 15 days by Hanire), subject to customary closing conditions. As of December 31, 2024, no funding under the agreement has closed.

The Hanire Note will provide for Hanire to loan funds, up to the aggregate maximum principal amount of the Hanire Note, in tranches, as follows: (i) $5 million (plus any amount by which the aggregate purchase price paid by Hanire for the Shares is less than $5 million as a result of the Share Limit) at the Hanire Closing, (ii) $12.5 million upon the Company securing a settlement of amounts outstanding to the principal owners of Wilson-Davis, (iii) $7.5 million at such time as the Company files a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K that shows that the Company has achieved positive net income on a consolidated basis in the most recent reporting period, and (iv) $15.0 million at such time as the Company receives approval from all regulatory authorities to acquire Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming. Unpaid principal amounts under the Note will accrue simple interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable commencing three months after the initial draw and thereafter quarterly until the maturity date of January 31, 2028. The unpaid principal amount and all accrued interest under the Note is convertible at any time after certain conditions are met (including receipt of stockholder approval for the issuance of shares upon conversion), at the option of Hanire, into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion rate equal to 60% of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 20-consecutive trading day period immediately prior to the conversion date.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement the Company and Hanire entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after the Closing, a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Shares and the Conversion Shares. The Company also agreed to use reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within a specified period of time after filing (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). Under certain circumstances, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement within such 30-day deadline or the failure of the registration statement to have been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company will have the obligation to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to 0.5% of the aggregate amount paid for the applicable registrable securities for each 30-day period that the applicable default continues, subject to a cap of 5% of the aggregate purchase price paid for the applicable securities.

Indemnification Agreements

On the Closing Date, in connection with the Closing, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, which provide for indemnification and advancements by the Company of certain expenses and costs under certain circumstances. The indemnification agreements provide that AtlasClear Holdings will indemnify each of its directors and executive officers against any and all expenses incurred by that director or executive officer because of his or her status as a director or officer of AtlasClear Holdings, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Wilson-Davis

On February 27, 2018, an extended hearing panel of the Department of Enforcement of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), Office of Hearing Officers, issued its decision ordering fines aggregating $1.47 million for violations of the applicable short sales and anti-money laundering rules. Wilson-Davis appealed the decision to the National Adjudicatory Council (“NAC”). On December 19, 2019, NAC issued its decision ordering that the fines be reduced by $205,000 to an aggregate $1.265 million. Wilson-Davis made a timely appeal to the SEC to hear the case. Pursuant to FINRA rules, Wilson-Davis’s timely appeal of the decision to the

SEC deferred the effectiveness of the findings and sanctions. Due to the disparity in the range of fines of similar cases, Wilson-Davis believes that the final amount is not reasonably estimable. Wilson-Davis has booked a contingent liability totaling $100,000, which represents the estimated low end of the possible range of fines. On December 28, 2023, the SEC issued an Opinion sustaining FINRA’s findings of violations against Wilson-Davis. The Opinion set aside the fines FINRA imposed on Wilson-Davis for the Reg SHO violations and the supervisory and AML violations. The SEC remanded the case to FINRA to reconsider the appropriate sanctions.

NOTE 10. ACQUISITION OF WILSON-DAVIS

Prior to the Closing, AtlasClear and the Company entered into two amendments to the Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement with Wilson-Davis and the then-owners of Wilson-Davis.

As a result of the closing of the business combination the Company allocated the purchase price with the acquisition of Wilson-Davis under the acquisition method of accounting. The final allocation of the purchase consideration for the Mergers will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but in no event later than one year following the completion of the Mergers. During the quarter ended the Company revised the deferred tax liabilities that resulted from the business combination, thus reducing the goodwill value.

The fair value of property and equipment was determined using the indirect cost approach which utilizes fixed asset record information including historical costs, acquisition dates, and asset descriptions and applying asset category specific nationally recognized indices to the historical cost of each asset to derive replacement cost new less depreciation. Management has also made the initial determination that all other assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. While a final determination of the value of the identifiable intangibles has not been completed, management has made an

NOTE 13. WARRANTS

As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there are 20,125,000 Public Warrants outstanding, each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 prior to reverse split or $690 post reverse split per whole share, that are classified and accounted for as equity instruments. The Public Warrants are now exercisable.

As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there are 6,153,125 Private Warrants to purchase an equal number of common shares at an exercise price of $11.50 prior to reverse split or $690 post reverse split per share that are outstanding that are classified and accounted for as derivative liabilities. Under this accounting treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Private Warrants at the end of each reporting period as well as re-evaluate the treatment of the Private Warrants and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.

NOTE 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Earnout liability was, initially as of February 9, 2024, valued using a Monte Carlo simulation to determine if and when the revenue hurdles would be achieved. The revenue volatility and revenue to equity correlation was based upon the same guideline public companies. The Monte Carlo simulation was performed simultaneously on both the share price and revenue to account for the correlation between revenue and equity.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo model for the Earnout liability were as follows:

Convertible Note Derivatives

The Conversion derivative, associated with Short-term notes, Long-Term notes, and the Original Chardan Note was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. The Conversion derivative liability was measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of Conversion derivative liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The Convertible note derivative is made up of the fair value of the embedded conversion option included in the Short-term notes, Long-Term notes, and the Original Chardan Note with a fair value as of December 31, 2024 of $247,203, $777,503 and $0, respectively totaling, $1,024,706 and as of June 30, 2024 of $4,807,692, $7,664,613 and $3,990,385, respectively totaling, $16,462,690.

Short-Term Note

The short-term notes have a conversion feature that qualifies for derivative treatment in accordance with ASC 815-40. On February 9, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company valued the derivatives using a Black-Scholes model which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The conversion feature is deemed to include an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation and separate account. As such, the Company ascertained the value of the conversion option as if separate from the convertible issuance and appropriately recorded that value as a derivative liability with the offset being a discount to the note. The discount will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the short-term note(s). The derivative liability will be revalued at each reporting period with the change being charged to the income statement. The original derivative liability – for the short term note notes was valued at $487,329. On June 30, 2024, a Black-Scholes calculation was performed (see below chart) and the value of the fair value of the derivative liability – convertible notes increased $4,320,363 to $4,807,692. The original $487,929 discount was amortized over the 90-day maturity. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not repay the short-term notes, as such has incurred penalty interest from 9% to 13% until the note is repaid. The note is due on demand but will mature on February 9, 2026. No notice of default has been received.

Chardan Note

In connection with the Closing, AtlasClear Holdings and Chardan agreed that the fee, in the amount of $7,043,750, payable by Quantum to Chardan upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, would be waived in exchange for the issuance by AtlasClear Holdings to Chardan of the Original Chardan Note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000. The Original Chardan Note was issued by AtlasClear Holdings at the Closing. The Original Chardan Note had a stated maturity date of February 9, 2028. Interest accrued at a rate per annum equal to 13%, and was payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest would have been, at the election of AtlasClear Holdings, either paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock, at a rate equal to 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. On October 23, 2024, the Company, Quantum Ventures, Chardan and Chardan Quantum LLC entered into the Settlement Agreement. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Chardan exchanged the Chardan Note for an amended non-interest bearing, convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,209,764 (as amended, the “Chardan Note”). While the Chardan Note does not bear interest, it can be converted from time to time by Chardan into shares of Common Stock, on terms substantially similar to the conversion provisions in the Original Chardan Note, and any remaining outstanding principal is to be repaid in full on the same maturity date as the Original Chardan Note.

The Chardan Note qualifies for derivative treatment in accordance with ASC 815-40. On February 9, 2024, the Company valued the derivatives using a Black-Scholes model which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The original derivative liability – for the Chardan Note was valued at $404,483. On June 30, 2024, a Black-Scholes calculation was performed (see below chart) and the value of the fair value of the derivative liability – convertible notes increased $3,585,901 to $3,990,385. The original $404,483 discount will be amortized over the maturity. See Note 9 for additional information.

In addition, on each conversion date AtlasClear Holdings was required to pay to Chardan in cash (or, at AtlasClear Holding’s option and subject to certain conditions, a combination of cash and Common Stock) all accrued interest on the Chardan Note and all interest that would otherwise accrue on the amount of the Note being converted if such converted amount would be held to three years after the applicable conversion date.

As a result of the changes in stock price, the limitation on authorized shares to comply with the conversion option, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2024, valuation of the convertible note conversion feature under Black-Scholes was no longer appropriate as it does not take into account the probability of multiple components.

Merger Financing

As discussed above under Contingent Guarantee, on August 9, 2024 the Company issued convertible note to modify the repayment conditions, resulting in the extinguishment of the contingent liability and recognizing the fair value of the convertible note agreement. As a result of the changes in stock price, the limitation on authorized shares to comply with the conversion option, the Company determined that the merger financing notes conversion feature was required to be bifurcated under ASC 815 as such the Company fair valued the embedded derivative. As such as of August 9, 2024 the issuance date and as of December 31, 2024 the conversion feature was valued using Mote Carlo model resulting in the fair value of the conversion option included in the Merger financing notes at $113,044 and $150,490, respectively.

Table of Contents

ended June 30, 2024 (the “Transition Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2024. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Our goal is to build a cutting-edge technology enabled financial services firm that would create a more efficient platform for trading, clearing, settlement and banking, with evolving and innovative financial products that focus on financial services firms. We are a fintech driven business-to-business platform that expects to power innovation in fintech, investing, underwriting and trading. We believe we are positioned to provide a modern, mission-critical suite of solutions to our clients, enabling them to reduce their transactions costs and compete more effectively in their businesses.

Our target client base for our prime banking and prime brokerage services includes financial services firms, generally with annual revenues up to $1 billion, including brokerage firms, hedge funds, pension plans, and family offices that are not adequately served by today’s larger correspondent clearing firms and banks.

Through the acquisition of Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc. (“Wilson-Davis”), a correspondent clearing company, and the anticipated merger with Commercial Bancorp, we expect to acquire the capabilities to provide specialized clearing and banking services to financial services firms, with an emphasis on global markets currently underserviced by larger vendors. Once properly integrated, anticipated synergies between Commercial Bancorp, if acquired, and Wilson-Davis are expected to allow for lower cost of capital, higher net interest margins, expanded product development and greater credit extension.

In addition, we believe the acquisition of a proprietary trading platform with clearing and settlement capabilities that will be developed by Pacsquare, including the AtlasClear Platform, along with the software products and intellectual property assets acquired from Atlas FinTech and Atlas Financial Technologies Corp., are cutting-edge, flexible and scalable.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares

On December 31, 2024, we effected a 1-for-60 reverse stock split of our Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 60 shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one share of Common stock, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split did not change the par value of the Common Stock, however, on December 30, 2024, we increased the number of authorized shares to 525,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The reverse stock split has been applied retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for all periods presented. All share and per-share amounts, including earnings per share (“EPS”), have been adjusted accordingly to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The impact of the reverse stock split is summarized as follows:

●

The total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased from 23,275,171 to 388,003 as of December 31, 2024.

●

Earnings per share and other per-share data were adjusted proportionally to reflect the reverse stock split.

●

The reverse stock split had no impact on the Company’s total stockholders’ equity, net income, or overall financial condition.

We believe that the reverse stock split was necessary to regain compliance with stock exchange listing requirements and improve marketability of the stock.

Wilson-Davis

Wilson-Davis is a self-clearing correspondent securities broker-dealer registered with the SEC, licensed in 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and is a member in good standing of FINRA. Wilson-Davis derives revenue principally from commissions charged on the liquidation of restricted and control microcap securities, vetting, and clearing service fees charged to introducing brokers for which Wilson-Davis clears transactions on a fully disclosed basis, and other financial service fees. Commissions are earned by executing transactions for customers. Vetting fee revenues are earned when Wilson-Davis vests stock the customers want to bring into

Table of Contents

their accounts. Clearing fees are earned by clearing transactions for Glendale Securities, as introducing broker on a fully disclosed basis, pursuant to a clearing agreement with Glendale Securities.

Key Factors Impacting Wilson-Davis’ Business

Wilson-Davis’ business and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by numerous factors and trends, which Wilson-Davis believes include those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” of the Transition Report. Some key factors impacting Wilson-Davis’ business include:

●

Liquidity. As a clearing broker-dealer in the U.S., Wilson-Davis is subject to cash deposit requirements with clearing organizations, brokers, and banks that may be large in relation to its total liquid assets.

●

Growth of Customer Base. Wilson-Davis’ growth requires continued use of its services by new customers.

●

Expanding Wilson-Davis’ Relationship with Existing Customers. Wilson-Davis’ ability to expand its relationship with its existing customers will be an important contributor to its long-term growth.

●

Market Trends. As financial markets grow and contract, Wilson-Davis’ customers’ behaviors are affected. Wilson-Davis’ revenue and profitability can be affected by general downturns in the securities markets, resulting from factors such as increased inflation, increased interest rates and other factors.

Business Combination

On February 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced transactions pursuant to that certain business combination agreement, dated November 16, 2022 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (“Quantum”), Calculator Merger Sub 1, Inc., Calculator Merger Sub 2, Inc., AtlasClear, Inc. (“AtlasClear”), Atlas FinTech Holdings Corp., (“Atlas FinTech”) and Robert McBey. The transactions consummated as a result of the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.” For more information about the Business Combination, see Note 1.

Amendments to Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement

Prior to the Closing, AtlasClear and AltasClear Holdings entered into two amendments to the Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the with Wilson-Davis and the then-owners of Wilson-Davis (the “Wilson-Davis Sellers”), Amendment No. 8 dated January 9, 2024 (“Amendment No. 8”) and Amendment No. 9 dated February 7, 2024 (“Amendment No. 9” and, together with Amendment No. 8, the “Amendments”). Among other things, the Amendments reduced the total purchase price payable under the Broker- Dealer Acquisition Agreement by $5 million and reduced the cash payable at the Wilson-Davis Closing as part of the purchase price to $8 million, with the balance of the purchase price paid in the form of convertible promissory notes issued by AtlasClear to the Wilson-Davis Sellers, as follows: (i) $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes due 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Short-Term Notes”) and (ii) $7,971,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes due 24 months after the Closing Date (the “Long-Term Notes” and, together with the Short-Term Notes, the “Seller Notes”). The Short-Term Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to payment (or, at the Company’s option, cash), and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time during the continuance of an event of default, at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to conversion. The Long-Term Notes accrue interest at a rate of 13% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to payment (or, at the Company’s option, in cash), and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to conversion (or 85% if an event of default occurs and is continuing).

For more information about the Amendments to Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement, see Note 9 under Sellers Note and Contingent Guarantee.

Funicular Convertible Note Financing

On February 9, 2024, AtlasClear Holdings and Quantum entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Funicular Purchase Agreement”) with Funicular, pursuant to which AtlasClear Holdings sold and issued to Funicular, on that date, a secured convertible promissory note (the “Funicular Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000,000 for a purchase price of $6,000,000, in a private placement (the “Note Financing”). The proceeds raised in the Note Financing were used to pay a portion of the purchase price paid at Closing to the Wilson-Davis sellers. The Funicular Note has a stated maturity date of November 9, 2025. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 12.5%, and is payable semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid

Table of Contents

interest shall, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, be either paid in cash or paid in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Funicular Note. In the event of an Event of Default (as defined in the Funicular Note), in addition to Funicular’s other rights and remedies, the interest rate would increase to 20% per annum. The Funicular Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment monthly to a price equal to the trailing five-day VWAP, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share (provided that if the Company sells stock at an effective price below $2.00 per share, such floor would be reduced to such effective price), and is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like. The Company had the right to redeem the Funicular Note upon 30 days’ notice after the earlier of August 7, 2024 and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Funicular Note), and Funicular would have the right to require the Company to redeem the Note in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Note), in each case for a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As a result of the delay in filing the registration statement the Company incurred $1,500,000 in fees through June 30, 2024 which has been added to the principal of the note. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024 the Company incurred an additional $600,000 in fees due to delays in the registration statement and the unpaid interest of $407,507 was applied to the principal balance for a total principal balance of $8,507,507 as of December 31, 2024. In addition, due to the delayed registration statement the company will be required to pay 20% interest on principal balance due.

As of December 3, 2024, the Company recognized $899,165 in interest expense on the principal and $180,085 of interest related to the amortization of the debt discount issued with the note. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the notes is $8,745,699 net of discount of $611,496. During the six-month period Quantum Ventures transferred 368,004 pre reverse split or 6,133 post reverse split registered shares to pay for accrued interest of $217,373. For information regarding the Note

On January 7, 2025, the Company and Funicular entered into an Amendment, Waiver and Consent (the “Funicular Amendment”). Pursuant to the Funicular Amendment, the Company and Funicular agreed to certain amendments to the Funicular Note, and the registration rights agreement (the “Funicular RRA”), including an extension of the maturity date of the Funicular Note from November 9, 2025 to January 31, 2028. In addition, Funicular agreed to waive certain defaults by the Company under the Secured Note and the Funicular RRA and consented to the transactions contemplated by the Funicular Purchase Agreement.

For more information about the Note Financing, see Notes 9 and 14 under Secured Convertible Note.

Pacsquare Purchase Agreement

The Pacsquare Purchase Agreement provides that Pacsquare will develop and deliver to AtlasClear the Level 1 equities trading platform and that it will develop and deliver all modules of the clearing platform within 12 months of signing the Pacsquare Purchase Agreement. AtlasClear owns all the intellectual property relating to the AtlasClear Platform, including the software and source code. The Pacsquare Purchase Agreement also granted AtlasClear a right of first refusal to any products or services that relate to trading, settlement, clearance or any other business of AtlasClear that Pacsquare proposes to offer to other persons. The purchase price for the assets was $4.8 million as follows: (i) $1.9 million, consisting of (A) $100,000 payable in a cash upon delivery of the source code and execution of the Pacsquare Purchase Agreement; (B) $850,000 payable in shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share; and (C) $950,000 to be paid in four monthly installments of $237,500, payable in shares of Common Stock at the price per share on the day of issuance and (ii) $2.7 million to be paid ratably on a module-by-module basis upon delivery and acceptance of each of the AtlasClear Platform modules.

Amendment to Bank Acquisition Agreement

On February 26, 2024, AtlasClear and Commercial Bancorp entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2022, by and between AtlasClear and Commercial Bancorp (the “Bank Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Commercial Bancorp is expected to merge with and into a subsidiary of AtlasClear. Pursuant to the Amendment, Commercial Bancorp received 40,000 shares of Common Stock in lieu of a nonrefundable escrow deposit.

No Commercial Bancorp shareholder is required to agree to such amended or new agreement. Failure to enter into a new agreement or amendment to the Bank Acquisition Agreement will constitute termination of the Bank Acquisition Agreement without liability. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company will issue to the shareholders of Commercial Bancorp, without additional compensation, 500,000 shares of Common Stock and the previously issued 40,000 shares to the Commercial Bancorp shareholders will be cancelled.

In connection with the Closing, AtlasClear Holdings and Chardan agreed that the fee, in the amount of $7,043,750, payable by Quantum to Chardan upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, would be waived in exchange for the issuance by AtlasClear Holdings to Chardan of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000 (the “Original Chardan Note”). The Original Chardan Note was issued by AtlasClear Holdings at the Closing. The Original Chardan Note had a stated maturity date of February 9, 2028. Interest under the Original Chardan Note accrued at a rate per annum equal to 13%, and was payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest could have been, at the election of AtlasClear Holdings, either paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock, at a rate equal to 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. The Original Chardan Note was convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at a conversion price equal to 90% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. In addition, on each conversion date AtlasClear Holdings was required to pay to Chardan in cash (or, at AtlasClear Holdings’ option and subject to certain conditions, a combination of cash and Common Stock) all accrued interest on the Original Chardan Note and all interest that would otherwise accrue on the amount of the Original Chardan Note being converted if such converted amount would be held to three years after the applicable conversion date.

On October 23, 2024, the Company, Quantum Ventures, Chardan and Chardan Quantum LLC entered the Settlement Agreement (as defined herein). In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Chardan exchanged the Original Chardan Note for an amended non-interest bearing, convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $5,209,764 (as amended, the “Chardan Note”). While the Chardan Note does not bear interest, it can be converted from time to time by Chardan into shares of Common Stock, on terms substantially similar to the conversion provisions in the Original Chardan Note, and any remaining outstanding principal is to be repaid in full on the same maturity date as the Original Chardan Note.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, on October 23, 2024, the Company and Chardan entered into an amendment (the “Chardan Amended RRA”) to the registration rights agreement, dated February 9, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file, by December 31, 2024, a registration statement with the SEC, registering the resale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Amended Chardan Note. If the resale registration statement (i) is not filed by December 31, 2024, then the interest rate of the Amended Chardan Note will increase by 2% per annum until the date of the filing, and shall be prorated for such period until the date of such filing and (ii) is not effective by March 31, 2025, then the interest rate on the Amended Chardan Note will increase to 19.99% per annum from March 31, 2025 until the date of effectiveness.

The increase was primarily due to the loss from operations, increase interest expense and increase in gain recognized from changes in fair value of the convertible notes and financial instruments. The primary cause of change was as a result from a change is valuation model approach that is more expansive that covers the uncertainty related to the insufficient shares authorized to deliver upon its share obligations. We determined that a Black-Scholes model did not have the adequate parameters to address the various probability consideration in settlement of such obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024 was $761,406 as compared to cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended December 31, 2023 of $1,034,222. This was primarily affected by $1,010,327 in changes in operational assets and liabilities and the impact of operating revenue and operating expense due to the Business Combination and asset purchase transaction with AtlasClear. Adjustment to net income primarily consisted of change in fair value related to various financial instruments as discussed above resulting in an adjustment of $15,412,185. Further adjustments for the income was non-cash interest expense on convertible notes and other financial instruments of $3,830,898, Fee on sellers note $16,340, amortization of intangible assets of $662,459 and a loss on Tau agreement of $23,245.

Cash used for investing activities for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024 was $125,000 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $3,671,434 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2023. This is primarily due to the redemptions of cash held in Quantum’s trust account of $4,286,537. The $125,000 of cash used for investing activities in the period ended December 31, 2024 represents cash payment towards the AtlasClear Platform.

Cash used in financing activities for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024 was $513,381 as compared to $3,150,556 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to the redemptions of $4,286,537, and advances from related party of $1,135,981. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company received $533,383 under the ELOC Agreement.

Financing Arrangements

Line of Credit

The Company has a $10,000,000 revolving line of credit with BMO Harris Bank N.A. The interest rate is determined at the time of borrowing as agreed by the Company and the bank. The line of credit currently provides for interest at the bank’s overnight rate plus 1.5% and is secured by Wilson-Davis’ assets. In addition, the line of credit carries an interest rate of 0.5% on its unused portion. The

Table of Contents

line of credit agreement requires Wilson-Davis to maintain line of credit collateral with value, as determined by the bank, in an amount at least equal to a percentage of the loan amount as specified by the bank. Advances on the line of credit are payable on demand. The entire amount of this credit facility is available to be drawn and used to meet Wilson-Davis’ liquidity requirements for NSCC clearing margin deposits. Wilson-Davis did not draw on its line of credit during the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

ELOC Agreement

On July 31, 2024, Tau Investment Partners LLC (“Tau”) and the Company entered into an at-the-market agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”). Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, Tau has committed to purchase, upon the terms thereof and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to $10 million of shares of Common Stock, at a price per share equal to 97% of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during a pricing period of three consecutive trading days following Tau’s receipt of the applicable advance notice sent by the Company from time to time, over the course of 24 months from the date of the ELOC Agreement. Each advance may be up to the greater of 100,000 shares or 50% of the average daily volume traded of the shares during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each advance. Tau is an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has issued 2,475,000 shares under the ELOC for $546,100 of which $533,383 in cash was received.

Second ELOC Agreement

On February 5, 2025, Tau and the Company entered into a second at-the-market agreement (the “Second ELOC Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second ELOC Agreement, Tau has committed to purchase, upon the terms thereof and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to $12.25 million (the “Aggregate Limit”), over the 24-month term of the Second ELOC Agreement. We may request, on dates determined by us, individual advances up to the greater of 2,000 shares or such amount as is equal to 50% of the average daily volume traded of the Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the date we request each advance, subject to the Aggregate Limit. Any such advance will reduce amounts that we can request for future advances and draw downs. The purchase price payable for the shares sold pursuant to any advance will be equal to 97% of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during a pricing period of three consecutive trading days following Tau’s receipt of the applicable advance notice. Tau’s obligation to purchase the shares we request to sell pursuant to any advance is conditioned upon, in addition to certain other customary closing conditions, the continued effectiveness of a registration statement pursuant to which Tau may freely sell the shares to be received. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale by Tau of at least 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock.

Funicular Convertible Note Financing

On February 9, 2024, AtlasClear Holdings and Quantum entered into the Funicular Purchase Agreement with Funicular, pursuant to which AtlasClear Holdings sold and issued to Funicular, on that date, a secured convertible promissory note (the “Funicular Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000,000 for a purchase price of $6,000,000, in a private placement (the “Note Financing”). See “Convertible Note Financing” above for more details. On January 7, 2025, the Company and Funicular entered into an Amendment, Waiver and Consent (the “Funicular Amendment”). Pursuant to the Funicular Amendment, the Company and Funicular agreed to certain amendments to the Funicular Note, and the registration rights agreement (the “Funicular RRA”), including an extension of the maturity date of the Funicular Note from November 9, 2025 to January 31, 2028. In addition, Funicular agreed to waive certain defaults by the Company under the Secured Note and the Funicular RRA and consented to the transactions contemplated by the Funicular Purchase Agreement.

Hanire Purchase Agreement

On December 31, 2024, the Company and Hanire, LLC (“Hanire”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Hanire Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase and sale, in a private placement, of (i) up to 333,333 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $15.00 per share (after giving effect to the 1-for-60 reverse stock split), and (ii) a convertible promissory note (the “Hanire Note”) in the principal amount of up to $40 million (plus any amount by which the aggregate purchase price paid by Hanire for the Shares is less than $5 million as a result of the Share Limit, as defined below). To the extent the number of Shares to be purchased by Hanire at the Hanire Closing would cause Hanire to own more than 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, the number of Shares will be reduced such that the number of Shares is equal to 19.9% of the total outstanding voting stock (the “Share Limit”). The consummation of the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Hanire Note (the “Hanire Closing”) was to occur at such time as agreed to by the Company and Hanire on or before January 31, 2025 (subject to extension by up to 15 days by Hanire), subject to customary closing conditions.

Table of Contents

The Hanire Note will provide for Hanire to loan funds, up to the aggregate maximum principal amount of the Hanire Note, in tranches, as follows: (i) $5 million (plus any amount by which the aggregate purchase price paid by Hanire for the Shares is less than $5 million as a result of the Share Limit) at the Hanire Closing, (ii) $12.5 million upon the Company securing a settlement of amounts outstanding to the principal owners of Wilson-Davis, (iii) $7.5 million at such time as the Company files a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K that shows that the Company has achieved positive net income on a consolidated basis in the most recent reporting period, and (iv) $15.0 million at such time as the Company receives approval from all regulatory authorities to acquire Commercial Bancorp. Unpaid principal amounts under the Hanire Note will accrue simple interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable commencing three months after the initial draw and thereafter quarterly until the maturity date of January 31, 2028. The unpaid principal amount and all accrued interest under the Hanire Note is convertible at any time after certain conditions are met (including receipt of stockholder approval for the issuance of shares upon conversion), at the option of Hanire, into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion rate equal to 60% of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 20-consecutive trading day period immediately prior to the conversion date.

In connection with the execution of the Hanire Purchase Agreement the Company and Hanire entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after the Hanire Closing, a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Shares and the Conversion Shares. The Company also agreed to use reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within a specified period of time after filing (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). Under certain circumstances, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement within such 30-day deadline or the failure of the registration statement to have been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company will have the obligation to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to 0.5% of the aggregate amount paid for the applicable registrable securities for each 30-day period that the applicable default continues, subject to a cap of 5% of the aggregate purchase price paid for the applicable securities. As of the date of this filing, the Hanire Closing has not occurred.

Going Concern

In connection with AtlasClear Holdings’ assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205 -40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the liquidity of the Company raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024.

Contractual Obligations

The Company holds several long-term debt obligations with outside vendors and investors, with loans maturing between 2025 and 2028 (see Note 9 and 14). Additionally, the Company leases office space under several operating leases. The Company has no capital lease obligations. Further, there are no other outstanding long-term liabilities contractually obligated by the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Derivative Liabilities

We account for derivative instruments as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the derivative instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and

Table of Contents

Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the derivative instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the derivative instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the derivative instruments are indexed to our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while financial instruments are outstanding.

For issued or modified derivatives that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the derivatives are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified derivatives that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the derivatives are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit 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 such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2024, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal quarter, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the business combination, the Company has incorporated changes in internal controls as it relates to the controls and procedures of Wilson-Davis. The Company has incorporated additional controls as necessary to enhance our control environment, such as continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements and ensure proper communication is maintained between officers and accountants. Except as discussed, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
