Certain Recent Developments

Discontinued Operations Classification for Food Products Segment

On March 31, 2026, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of its Food Products segment which is a distinct reporting segment and includes all operations conducted in New Zealand. The Food Products segment consists of two legal entities: Gourmet Foods, Ltd. which is a bakery business and Printstock Products Limited which is a printing business for the food industry. The Company expects to dispose of these two entities either collectively or separately through a sale or sales to a third party. The decision to divest the Food Products segment was driven by management’s strategic initiative to focus on its Fund Management and Financial Services related businesses. The disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and financial results, including the exit from New Zealand and the Food Products segment. The Company is actively marketing the Food Products segment and expects the transaction to be completed within twelve months of the classification date. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in divesting this business upon terms acceptable to the Company or as to the timing or terms of the final transaction or series of transactions.

Sale of Brigadier

On June 19, 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with SKCAL LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Buyer”), whose president and sole member, Scott Schoenberger, is also a director of Marygold and the beneficial owner of 10.9% of our outstanding voting stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. a Canadian registered corporation (“Brigadier”), located in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, to the Buyer for total consideration of $2.2 million, subject to certain adjustment either upwards or downwards in accordance with the differences, if any between the total net working capital (“TNWC”) and the final net working capital (“NWC”), translated to United States currency as of the closing date and under the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The closing (“Closing”) of the sale of Brigadier took place on July 1, 2025 (“Closing Date”). As a result of the upward adjustment, the total purchase price consideration was $2.3 million. The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, and rights to indemnification by both of the parties and was subject to customary closing conditions.

Subsidiary Business Overview

U.S. ETF Fund Management - USCF Investments

In 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in USCF Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USCF Investments”). USCF Investments is a U.S. corporation organized in the state of Delaware. USCF Investments is the parent and sole member of two fund management limited liability companies formed in the state of Delaware: United States Commodity Funds, LLC (“USCF LLC”) and USCF Advisers, LLC (“USCF Advisers”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers are each registered as a commodity pool operator, and each is a member of the National Futures Association. USCF Advisers is also registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, together with USCF Investments will be referred to hereafter as “USCF Investments.”

USCF LLC and USCF Advisers provide investment fund management and advisory services and receive management and/or investment advisory fees for providing such services to each of the ETF trust and funds they manage. Currently, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers collectively manage and service 17 ETFs, the shares or other interests of which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The ETFs managed by USCF LLC and USCF Advisers have a combined total of $5.1 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of June 30, 2026.

USCF LLC Managed and Sponsored Funds

Currently, USCF LLC serves as the general partner or sponsor of the following ETFs, each of which is conducting an ongoing public offering of its shares or interests pursuant to the Securities Act:

USCF LLC is general partner of the following funds United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2005 United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNG”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2006 United States Gasoline Fund, LP (“UGA”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (“USL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States Brent Oil Fund, LP (“BNO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2009

USCF Advised or Managed Funds

USCF Advisers, a registered investment adviser, is the investment adviser to the funds listed below each a separate series of the USCF ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the ETF Trust. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements, USCF Advisers provides an investment program for each series of the ETF Trust and manages the investment of the funds’ assets.

USCF Investments’ revenue and expenses are primarily based upon and determined by the amount of AUM of the funds its subsidiaries manage. USCF Investments’ subsidiaries each earn monthly management and advisory fees based on their agreements with each fund. The management fees for a fund are determined on the basis of the percentage management fee structure for such fund as forth in its advisory agreement with the fund multiplied by the average AUM of such fund over a given period. Many of the company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of average AUM. These variable expenses include fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by average AUM.

For the year ended June 30, 2026, 47% of USCF Investments’ revenue were attributed to its subsidiaries’ management of its three largest funds as follows: United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Copper Index Fund and United States Natural Gas Fund, LP. For the year ended June 30, 2025, 70% of USCF Investments’ revenue were attributed to its subsidiaries’ management of its three largest funds as follows: United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund.

Competition

USCF Investments competes with other commodity fund managers which include larger, better-financed companies and other boutique companies that offer ETFs similar to those offered by USCF Investments. Also, the larger and better financed competitors may be able to sponsor, develop and offer new ETFs more readily than USCF Investments. Many of these competitors have substantially greater technical and human resources than USCF Investments does, as well as greater experience in the discovery, research and development of ETFs and the commercialization of those ETFs. Our competitors’ ETFs may have better performance, lower expenses or advisory fees, or are more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. USCF Investments believes that it has carved out a unique set of ETFs that were first to market and it continues to create and launch funds that remain focused on its core business platform in the commodity sector of non-renewable energy while expanding its commodity index funds between broad commodities, equity and a mix of commodities and equities index funds. The ability to create and launch bespoke funds and series funds that provide exposure to certain commodity and equity groups allows USCF Investments to compete in this industry space as a boutique investment management company. USCF Investments will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon the availability of existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds while competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital is expected to be challenging.

Regulation

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment advisory services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act and as a CPO under the CEA. Ongoing public offerings of the shares or other interests by ETFs sponsored by USCF LLC are required to be registered with the SEC under the Securities Act and each ETF has SEC reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act as well as regulatory obligations by the NYSE Arca under its continued listing standards. Each series of the ETF Trust managed by USCF Advisers is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and subject to the rules and regulations thereunder.

Employees

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries have 15 full-time employees, a majority of whom are located in its Walnut Creek, California office. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed fund’s assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. USCF Investments, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own expenses associated with providing these advisory services. The ETF Trust funds that USCF Advisers advise bear the expenses of its independent board of trustees. Independent trustee expenses are apportioned on a pro rata basis over each fund affiliated with USCF Investments.

Intellectual Property

USCF Investments subsidiary USCF LLC has registered the trademarks for the names “USCF LLC” and “USCF Advisers” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). The funds for which USCF LLC is a general partner or sponsor have registered trademarks owned by USCF LLC.

Beauty Products - Original Sprout

In 2017, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kahnalytics, Inc., acquired all of the assets of Original Sprout LLC and subsequently adopted the fictitious business name “Original Sprout”. Original Sprout LLC was founded in 2003. Original Sprout is engaged in the retail sales and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout on a global scale. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout’s website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, California.

Products and Customers

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has adjusted its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas during COVID-19 that resulted in social distancing and closures of retail businesses, consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, many of Original Sprout’s domestic distributors became retailers by selling direct to consumers on e-tail platforms. Original Sprout, in defense of its brand and price points, transitioned from its wholesale distribution model to making direct sales to retail outlets and consumers through online platforms as well as through wholesalers. The negative effects of this transition resulted in reduced sales and increased operating losses as a result of the cancellation of domestic distribution channels. Original Sprout has engaged in new brand representation and secured more reliable sales channels for its new and existing product lines during fiscal 2026, which have afforded Original Sprout improved margins and the expectation of increasing revenue over time.

Original Sprout sells its products through five distribution channels:

● direct sales to end users via online shopping carts; ● sales made to an exclusive reseller on Amazon; ● sales through international wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other international retailers or wholesalers; ● sales to domestic wholesale distributors of products to professional salons, and ● to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Table of Contents

During the year ended June 30, 2026, Original Sprout did not have any significant customer revenue concentration; however, certain of Original Sprout’s customers may, from time to time, become significant during a reporting period.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is reliant upon its relationships with two product formulating and packaging companies who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufacture its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, package them in appropriate containers supplied by Original Sprout, and deliver the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by these two packaging companies. However, management of Original Sprout believes that, if either of these companies is unable to provide such services, there are other similar production and packaging companies available at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout distributes only 100% vegan, lab tested as safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiates it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants in the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence, some may be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of additional distributors, nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products by Original Sprout, although sales may fluctuate around traditional holidays, and sales of certain products, such as sunscreen, are lower in winter months than in summer months.

Regulation

Original Sprout is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often required to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, although many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names “Original Sprout” and “D’Organiques Original Sprout” are registered trademarks of Original Sprout and will expire or renew on August 16, 2031 and September 9, 2028, respectively.

Employees

Original Sprout had seven full-time employees, not including temporary workers or “temp-to-hire” status workers, in California as of June 30, 2026.

U.S. and U.K. Financial Services – Marygold US and Marygold UK

Marygold US

In 2019, we entered the financial services industry to explore opportunities in the financial technology (“Fintech”) space and formed Marygold & Co., a Delaware corporation (“Marygold”) headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. In 2020, Marygold formed an investment advisory subsidiary, Marygold & Co. Advisory Services, LLC, a Delaware, limited liability company (“Marygold Advisors”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Marygold and registered the company as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act. Effective February 6, 2025, Marygold Advisors withdrew from registration as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act and was dissolved effective February 17, 2026. Marygold and together with Marygold Advisors, are hereinafter referred to as, “Marygold US.”

As of March 31, 2025, Marygold US ceased offering app services in the U.S. and removed the app from the online Playstores. Although the app performed as anticipated, Marygold US’ marketing efforts did not result in consumer adoption rates necessary to reach anticipated revenue targets. Further app development for the U.S. and operations have been paused indefinitely.

The Company devoted considerable resources to the development, marketing and support of Marygold US’ proprietary Fintech app before Marygold US decided to pause operations and further development of the Fintech app in the U.S. market indefinitely.

Intellectual Property

Marygold US has a registered flower design mark and other registered trademarks. The underlying code compiled in its mobile banking app and other custom programs are proprietary and trade secrets of Marygold US. The duration of the trademark registration is open ended until abandoned by Marygold US. Trade secrets are generally protected by non-disclosure agreements.

Employees

As of June 30, 2026, Marygold US had no full-time employees.

Marygold UK

In 2021, we expanded our financial services into the United Kingdom by incorporating a new entity called, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, a private limited company incorporated and registered under the laws of England and Wales, whose registered office is in London, England, (“Marygold UK”).

In June 2022, Marygold UK acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tiger Financial & Asset Management, Limited, (“Tiger Financial”). In October 2024, Tiger Financial changed its name to Marygold & Co. Limited. Marygold & Co. Limited is a private company incorporated and registered in England and Wales whose registered office is in Northampton, England. Marygold & Co. Limited is an asset manager regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

In May 2024, Marygold UK acquired all outstanding shares of Step-By-Step Financial Planners Limited (“Step-By-Step”), a private limited company incorporated and registered in England and Wales, whose registered office is in Staffordshire, England. Step-By-Step is an asset manager and registered investment advisor regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

In addition to its function as a holding company for UK investments and acquisitions, Marygold UK was formed to introduce the Marygold UK Fintech app into the UK with features designed to provide a suite of personal savings tools all integrated into a user’s digital world. However, the app failed to reach anticipated revenue goals and the Marygold UK Fintech app was removed from the market in April 2026. All client funds were refunded effective June 30, 2026.

Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step, together with Marygold UK are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Marygold UK”. Operations of Marygold UK are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition. As of June 30, 2026, Marygold UK had a total of nine employees.

As of June 30, 2026, Marygold UK had $63.1 million in combined AUM. Marygold UK earns revenues in the form of advisory fees based on a percentage of the AUM. Additionally, revenue is earned through commission-based referrals from insurance providers and certain other financial products.

Competition

As investment advisors, both Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step have pursued separate niche markets to differentiate themselves from institutional and larger organizations providing investment advice and wealth management services to clients in the U.K. These separate target markets are expected to allow Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step to succeed and grow their businesses despite a competitive landscape. The Marygold UK Fintech app was removed from the market in April 2026, and its offering and further development were paused effective June 30, 2026; any future growth or differentiation from the app is uncertain.

Trademark

Marygold UK had begun the process of securing trademarks and service marks with respect to certain slogans, artwork, and logos related to the Marygold Fintech app. However, that process was halted as of June 30, 2026.

Food Products - Gourmet Foods

During fiscal 2026, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Food Products business, which previously comprised one of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company expects the disposition to result in the exit from the Food Products segment and represents a strategic shift that is expected to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operations of Food Products are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2026, the disposition had not been completed. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the planned disposition, discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale.

Security Systems - Brigadier

The Security Systems - Brigadier segment was sold for $2.3 million to a related party on July 1, 2025.

See Note 7. Sale of Brigadier to the audited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the disposition.

Certain Recent Developments

Recent Equity Financing

On January 28, 2025, we closed on the sale of an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $1.10 per share (before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions) in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (“Offering”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated January 26, 2025 (“Underwriting Agreement”), between us and the Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as sole underwriter and book-running manager for the Offering. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we granted Maxim a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 307,500 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions (“overallotment option”). Maxim did not exercise its overallotment option.

The net proceeds of the Offering to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $1.8 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to retire or reduce debt, make additional investments in our financial services operations, and for other general working capital and corporate purposes.

Recent Note Financing

On September 19, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Holder”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to Holder a secured promissory note in an initial principal amount of $4,380,000 (“Initial Note”) payable on or before 24 months from the issuance date (“Maturity Date”) and, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Purchase Agreement, up to one additional secured promissory note (“Subsequent Note,” Initial Note and Subsequent Note, “Notes”).

The original issue discount of the Initial Note was $360,000. Interest on the principal amount of the Notes accrues at a rate of 9% per annum. We may pay all or any portion of the amount owed under the Notes earlier than it is due. All payments made under the Notes, including any repayments, are subject to an additional amount payable equal to 6% of the portion of the outstanding balance (including accrued interest) being repaid. The Subsequent Note would have a principal amount of $2,180,000, which will have terms substantially similar to the terms of the Initial Note. The original issue discount on the Subsequent Note, if issued, will be $180,000.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants and agreements, including that we will not pledge or grant any lien or security interest in our or our subsidiaries’ assets without the Holder’s prior written consent and that we will file reports under the Securities Exchange Act timely, and that our shares will continue to be listed or quoted on the NYSE American or Nasdaq. Also, without the Holder’s prior written consent, we may not: issue, incur or guarantee any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course; issue any security that has conversion rights in which the number of shares varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities convertible into our shares with a conversion price that varies with the market price of our shares; issue any securities that have a conversion or exercise price subject to a reset due to a change in the market price of our shares or upon the occurrence of certain events related to our business (but excluding certain standard antidilution protection for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or similar transaction); issue any securities pursuant to an equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or similar arrangement. The Purchase Agreement also contains a most favored nations provision that provides we will grant to the Holder the same terms as we offer any subsequent investor in our debt securities and certain arbitration provisions in the event of a claim arising under the Purchase Agreement and other transaction documents.

The Notes contain certain trigger events, including in the event that: (a) we fail to pay any amount when due; (b) a receiver or trustee is appointed with respect to our assets; (c) we become insolvent; (d) we make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) we file a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws; (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is filed against us; (g) a “fundamental transaction” occurs without Holder’s prior written consent: (h) we, USCF Investments or any of the USCF Investments subsidiaries, fail to observe covenants in our agreements with the Holder; (i) we default in observing or performing any covenant in the transaction documents; (j) any representation in the transaction documents is or becomes false or incorrect; (i) we effect a reverse stock split without 20 trading days’ prior written notice to the Holder; (k) any judgment is entered against us for more than $500,000 which remains unstayed for more than 20 days unless consented to by the Holder; (m) our shares cease to be DTC (Depositary Trust Company) eligible; or (n) we breach any covenant or agreement in any other agreement with Holder or in any financing or other agreement that affects our ongoing business operations. A “fundamental transaction” occurs if: we merge with another entity; we dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; we allow more than 50% of our voting shares to be acquired by another person; we enter into a share purchase agreement with a third party that acquires more than 50% of our shares; we recapitalize or reclassify our shares; we transfer a material asset to a subsidiary; we pay a dividend to our stockholders; or any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 50% of the ordinary voting power of our shares. Upon the occurrence of a trigger event, the Holder may increase the amount outstanding under a Note by 10% for an event described in (a) through (h) above or 5% for an event described in (i) through (n) above (a “default amount”). Alternatively, the Holder may treat the trigger event as an event of default and demand repayment of the Note, subject to a five-day cure period, together with any applicable default amount.

Table of Contents

Our obligations under the Note are secured by: (i) a pledge of all the common stock the Company owns in USCF Investments, Inc. and (ii) a security interest in all of the assets of the Company. Further, our Chief Executive Officer’s trust, the Nicholas and Melinda Gerber Living Trust (“Gerber Trust”), provided: (i) a guaranty of our obligations to the Holder under the Note and (ii) a pledge of all of our common stock owned by the Gerber Trust.

Beginning on the date that is six months from the issuance date until the applicable Note is paid in full, each month the Holder has the right to require the Company to redeem up to an aggregate of $400,000 with respect to the Initial Note and $200,000 with respect to the Subsequent Note, if issued, plus any interest accrued thereunder and an additional amount payable equal to 6% of the principal amount and accrued interest redeemed. We have the right to defer such redemption payments that Holder could otherwise elect to make three times by providing advance written notice to the Holder. If we exercise our deferral right, the outstanding balance automatically increases by 0.85% for each instance that the deferral right is exercised by us, which cannot be exercised more than once every ninety calendar days.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the date of the issuance and sale of the Note and ending 24 months thereafter, the Holder will have the right, but not the obligation, with our prior written consent, to reinvest up to an additional $10,000,000 in us on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (structured as two tranches of $5,000,000 each).

We engaged Maxim to serve as placement agent for the transaction between us and the Holder in exchange for an aggregate commission equal to 7% of the gross cash proceeds received by us from the sale of the Notes.

As of June 30, 2025, the Initial Note payable balance outstanding, net of the original issue discount and fees paid, was $1.3 million, all of which is due within 12 months from June 30, 2025, assuming no deferral rights are exercised. The effective interest rate for this Note is 41.3%. Interest expense for this Note during the fiscal year 2025 was $1.2 million which included $0.6 million of amortization of debt issuance costs.

Equity Distribution Agreement

On March 7, 2025, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time in our sole discretion, shares of our common stock through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal. The offer and sale, if any, of shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283898) (“Shelf Registration Statement”) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 18, 2024, and became effective on December 27, 2024, the base prospectus included therein (“Base Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement that we filed by with the SEC on March 7, 2025 (“ATM Prospectus Supplement;” Base Prospectus and ATM Prospectus Supplement, “Prospectus”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal, having an aggregate offering price of up to $4,650,000. The Equity Distribution Agreement also requires until May 28, 2025, the date of the expiration of the standstill period in our underwriting agreement with Maxim for our recent underwritten public offering (“standstill period”), sales of the common stock be made at a minimum price per share of $1.50 unless, at any time, Maxim and the Company mutually agree upon a lower minimum price per share (“Minimum Price”).

Under the Equity Distribution Agreement, Maxim may sell shares of our common stock by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), including sales made directly or through the NYSE American LLC or any other existing trading market in the United States for our common stock, to or through a market maker, in privately negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law, subject to the Minimum Price.

Table of Contents

We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement. The timing and amount of any sales of our shares will depend on a number of factors to be determined by us. Each time we wish to issue and sell shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, we will deliver to Maxim a placement notice setting forth the number of shares to be issued and sold, the dates on which such sales may be made, the limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Unless Maxim declines to accept the terms of such placement notice, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, Maxim has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified in such placement notice.

We will pay Maxim in cash a commission equal to 3.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds from such sale of shares, reimburse certain legal fees and disbursements, and provide Maxim with customary indemnification and contribution against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Equity Distribution Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants including that both parties agree their entry into the Equity Distribution Agreement represents a waiver of the standstill period.

The Equity Distribution Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earlier of the sale of all of the shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement or twelve months from the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement. In addition, the Equity Distribution may be terminated by us upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Maxim. Maxim may terminate the Equity Distribution Agreement if, in its sole discretion, it is not satisfied with the results of its and its representatives review of us and our business.

As of June 30, 2025, we have not sold any shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Sale of Brigadier

On June 19, 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with SKCAL LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Buyer”), whose president and sole member, Scott Schoenberger, is also a director of Marygold and the beneficial owner of 10.9% of our outstanding voting stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. a Canadian registered corporation (“Brigadier”), located in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada (“Brigadier”), to the Buyer for total consideration of $2.2 million, subject to certain adjustment either upwards or downwards in accordance with the differences, if any between the total net working capital (“TNWC”) and the final net working capital (“NWC”), translated to United States currency as of the closing date and under the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The closing (“Closing”) of the sale of Brigadier took place on July 1, 2025 (“Closing Date”). As required under the Purchase Agreement, an initial payment of $0.2 million was paid three business days following the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by the parties. An additional $1.0 million was paid on or about the Closing Date. A final payment of $1.1 million was paid on September 1, 2025 in accordance with the adjustment as provided hereinabove. As a result of the upward adjustment, the total purchase price consideration was $2.3 million. The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, and rights to indemnification by both of the parties and was subject to customary closing conditions.

Subsidiary Business Overview

In 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in USCF Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USCF Investments”). USCF Investments is a U.S. corporation organized in the state of Delaware. USCF Investments is the parent and sole member of two fund management limited liability companies formed in the state of Delaware: United States Commodity Funds, LLC (“USCF LLC”) and USCF Advisers, LLC (“USCF Advisers”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers are each registered as a commodity pool operator, and each is a member of the National Futures Association. USCF Advisers is also registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, together with USCF Investments will be referred to hereafter as “USCF Investments.”

USCF LLC and USCF Advisers provide investment fund management and advisory services and receive management and/or investment advisory fees for providing such services to each of the ETF trust and funds it manages. Currently, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers collectively manage and service 16 ETFs, the shares or other interests of which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The ETFs managed by USCF LLC and USCF Advisers have a combined total of $2.8 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of June 30, 2025.

USCF LLC Managed and Sponsored Funds

Currently, USCF LLC serves as the general partner or sponsor of the following ETFs, each of which is conducting an ongoing public offering of its shares or interests pursuant to the Securities Act:

USCF LLC is general partner of the following funds United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2005 United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNG”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2006 United States Gasoline Fund, LP (“UGA”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (“USL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States Brent Oil Fund, LP (“BNO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2009

Table of Contents

USCF LLC is the sponsor of the following funds, each a series of the United States Commodity Index Funds Trust (“USCIF Trust”) United States Commodity Index Fund (“USCI”) Series of the USCIF Trust created in 2010 United States Copper Index Fund (“CPER”) Series of the USCIF Trust created in 2010

USCF Advised or Managed Funds

USCF Advisers, a registered investment adviser, is the investment adviser to the funds listed below each a separate series of the USCF ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the ETF Trust. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements, USCF Advisers provides an investment program for each series of the ETF Trust and manages the investment of the funds’ assets.

USCF Advisers is fund manager for the following series of the ETF Trust: USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund (“SDCI”) Fund launched in 2018 USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund (“UMI”) Fund launched in 2021 USCF Gold Strategy Plus Income Fund (“USG”) previous ticker (“GLDX”) Fund launched in 2021, Ticker symbol change in 2024 USCF Dividend Income Fund (“UDI”) Fund launched in 2022 USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (“ZSB”) Fund launched in 2023 USCF Energy Commodity Strategy Absolute Return Fund (“USE”) Fund launched in 2023 USCF Sustainable Commodity Strategy Fund (“ZSC”) Fund launched in 2023

Fund Sub-Advised by USCF Advisers USCF Daily Target 2X Copper Index ETF (“CPXR”) Fund launched in 2025

USCF Investments’ revenue and expenses are primarily based upon and determined by the amount of AUM of the funds its subsidiaries manage. USCF Investments’ subsidiaries each earn monthly management and advisory fees based on their agreements with each fund. The management fees for a fund are determined on the basis of the percentage management fee structure for such fund as forth in its advisory agreement with the fund multiplied by the average AUM of such fund over a given period. Many of the company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of average AUM. These variable expenses include fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by average AUM.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, 70% of USCF Investments’ revenue were attributed to its subsidiaries’ management of its three largest funds as follows: United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2024, 75% of USCF Investments’ revenue was attributable to its subsidiaries’ management of United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and United States Commodity Index Fund.

Competition

USCF Investments competes with other commodity fund managers which include larger, better-financed companies and other boutique companies that offer ETFs similar to those offered by USCF Investments. Also, the larger and better financed competitors may be able to sponsor, develop and offer new ETFs more readily than USCF Investments. Many of these competitors have substantially greater technical and human resources than USCF Investments does, as well as greater experience in the discovery, research and development of ETFs and the commercialization of those ETFs. Our competitors’ ETFs may have better performance, lower expenses or advisory fees, or are more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. USCF Investments believes that it has carved out a unique set of ETFs that were first to market and it continues to create and launch funds that remain focused on its core business platform in the commodity sector of non-renewable energy while expanding its commodity index funds between broad commodities, equity and a mix of commodities and equities index funds. The ability to create and launch bespoke funds and series funds that provide exposure to certain commodity and equity groups allows USCF Investments to compete in this industry space as a boutique investment management company. USCF Investments will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon the availability of existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds while competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital is expected to be challenging.

Regulation

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment advisory services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act and as a CPO under the CEA. Ongoing public offerings of the shares or other interests by ETFs sponsored by USCF LLC are required to be registered with the SEC under the Securities Act and each ETF has SEC reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act as well as regulatory obligations by the NYSE Arca under its continued listing standards. Each series of the ETF Trust managed by USCF Advisers is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and subject to the rules and regulations thereunder.

Employees

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries have 13 full-time employees, a majority of whom are located in its Walnut Creek, California office. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed fund’s assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. USCF Investments, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own expenses associated with providing these advisory services. The ETF Trust funds that USCF Advisers advise bear the expenses of its independent board of trustees. Independent trustee expenses are apportioned on a pro rata basis over each fund affiliated with USCF Investments.

Intellectual Property

USCF Investments subsidiary USCF LLC has registered the trademarks for the names “USCF LLC” and “USCF Advisers” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). The funds for which USCF LLC is a general partner or sponsor have registered trademarks owned by USCF LLC.

Litigation

Please refer to “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Food Products - Gourmet Foods

In 2015, we acquired Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a registered New Zealand company. Gourmet Foods is a commercial-scale bakery producing meat pies, sausage rolls and patisserie cakes from leased manufacturing facilities located in Tauranga, New Zealand. These products are sold through distribution channels throughout New Zealand under the brand names Ponsonby Pies and Pats Pantry. Primary customers include national grocery chains, convenience stores and petrol stations.

In 2020, Gourmet Foods acquired Printstock Products Limited (“Printstock”), a Flexographic printing company based in Napier, New Zealand that prints specialty wrappers for the food industry primarily in New Zealand including those used by Gourmet Foods. Printstock’s operating results are consolidated with those of Gourmet Foods. Gourmet Foods and Printstock are collectively referred to hereinafter as “Gourmet Foods.”

Products and Customers

Gourmet Foods has two major product lines: 1) baking and 2) food wrapper printing. While these product lines are comprised of different customers and supply chains, we consider the consolidation of Gourmet Foods with Printstock to be within the food industry as Printstock only supplies its products to the manufacturers in the New Zealand food industry, some of which are competitors of Gourmet Foods, and the inclusion of Printstock in Gourmet Foods’ operations does not extend its presence beyond the food industry. Therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting, both revenue streams are considered part of the same “food products” segment, which is how it is evaluated by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.

Baking and Printing: Within the baking sector Gourmet Foods has three major customer groups: 1) grocery stores, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers and cafes. The grocery industry in New Zealand is dominated by several large chain operations, each of which is a customer of Gourmet Foods. There can be no assurance that these customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however, in view of the length of the relationship with such customers, management believes that such customers will continue purchasing Gourmet Foods’ products. In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand and a consortium of gasoline convenience stores. This consortium comprised 55% of the total revenue for the bakery sector in fiscal 2025. The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes. The printing sector of Gourmet Foods’ revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small. The two largest customers in the printing sector represented 59% of printing sector revenue in fiscal 2025.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available locally. However, the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in increased cost of raw ingredients and local shipping. These cost increases, coupled with the rising cost of labor, have negatively impacted Gourmet Foods profit margins and, in some instances, its ability to meet market demand in a timely manner. In response to these pressures, Gourmet Foods has discontinued sales of lower margin products to some grocery outlets resulting in lower gross sales revenues, but higher margins. Gourmet Foods is focused on securing the best prices available for raw materials in the local market and joining other manufacturers of food products in efforts to encourage grocery outlets to adopt price increases in the coming fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Competition

Gourmet Foods competes with other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies in New Zealand. Competitors’ products may be more effectively marketed and sold, than products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy economies of scale in production allowing them to offer products at lower retail prices, making it difficult for us to compete in the growing online sales channel of home deliveries. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time creates new products such as vegan pies, sausage rolls, and other items currently novel to New Zealand. Upon market acceptance of these new entrants, Gourmet Foods is able to sustain higher profit margins in the absence of direct competition. Gourmet Foods has also improved a portion of its supply chain by acquiring Printstock, which prints the food wrappers utilized by Gourmet Foods. Printstock, in turn, also faces competition from other New Zealand-based printing companies who offer similar services to the food production industry.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant.

Regulation

In New Zealand, Gourmet Foods is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it exports. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations customary in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution industry in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods believes it has all necessary licenses and permits and is compliant in all material respects with New Zealand laws and local regulations.

Employees

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, had 48 full-time employees in New Zealand as of June 30, 2025.

Intellectual Property

Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. in New Zealand. These trademarks will expire or renew on February 13, 2028 and November 6, 2027, respectively.

Security Systems - Brigadier

In 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”), a Canadian corporation. Brigadier was originally established in 1985. Brigadier has two office locations, one in Regina (formerly Elite Security, now Brigadier Elite) and one in Saskatoon (formerly Brigadier Security, now Brigadier Elite), in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm systems, security monitoring hardware, access controls, ULC approved fire monitoring panels, and comprehensive security systems to commercial and residential customers under the brand name “Brigadier Elite” throughout the province of Saskatchewan.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier is a leading electronic security company in the province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, fire alarm monitoring panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools, and public buildings. Its experience as the provider of choice for many large notable sites shows a commitment to design, service and support. Brigadier specializes and is certified to offer several major manufacturers’ products, including: Honeywell Security, Panasonic, Avigilon and JCI/DSC/Kantech security products.

Brigadier is an authorized SecurTek dealer and is the largest SecurTek dealer in the province of Saskatchewan. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel, Saskatchewan’s leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

Table of Contents

Brigadier is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with SecurTek that provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, but that alternate solutions would be available if such monitoring company terminates its agreement with Brigadier. Sales to its largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, were 44% of Brigadier’s total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 42% for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer. Brigadier is not reliant on any one supplier.

Competition

Brigadier competes with several larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services in Saskatchewan and Canada generally as well as globally. In addition, Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects to maintain its current market position in Saskatchewan and believes that opportunities exist to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies within this market. Brigadier’s management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Due to its location in Canada, winter weather may negatively affect its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, during the period from November through March Brigadier’s revenue is typically lower than during other months of the year.

Employees

Brigadier had 18 full-time employees in Canada as of June 30, 2025.

Brigadier was sold to a related party on July 1, 2025 (see “Certain Recent Developments – Sale of Brigadier” and Note 16. Subsequent Events to the audited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K).

Beauty Products - Original Sprout

In 2017, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kahnalytics, Inc., acquired all of the assets of Original Sprout LLC and subsequently adopted the fictitious business name “Original Sprout”. Original Sprout LLC was founded in 2003. Original Sprout is engaged in the retail sales and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout on a global scale. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout’s website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, California.

Products and Customers

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has adjusted its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas during COVID-19 that resulted in social distancing and closures of retail businesses, consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, many of Original Sprout’s domestic distributors became retailers by selling direct to consumers on e-tail platforms. Original Sprout, in defense of its brand and price points, transitioned from its wholesale distribution model to making direct sales to retail outlets and consumers through online platforms as well as through wholesalers. The negative effects of this transition resulted in reduced sales and increased operating losses as a result of the cancellation of domestic distribution channels. This trend is expected to continue as Original Sprout engages in new brand representation and secures reliable sales channels for its new and existing product lines. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $1.4 million during fiscal 2024 related to the goodwill and other intangible assets for Original Sprout.

Original Sprout sells its products through five distribution channels:

● direct sales to end users via online shopping carts; ● sales made to an exclusive reseller on Amazon; ● sales through international wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other international retailers or wholesalers; ● sales to domestic wholesale distributors of products to professional salons, and ● to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Table of Contents

During the year ended June 30, 2025, Original Sprout did not have any significant customers; however, certain of Original Sprout’s customers may, from time to time, become significant during a reporting period.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is reliant upon its relationships with two product formulating and packaging companies who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufacture its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, package them in appropriate containers supplied by Original Sprout, and deliver the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by these two packaging companies. However, management of Original Sprout believes that, if either of these companies is unable to provide such services, there are other similar production and packaging companies available at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiates it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants in the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence, some may be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of additional distributors, nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products by Original Sprout, although sales may fluctuate around traditional holidays, and sales of certain products, such as sunscreen, are lower in winter months than in summer months.

Regulation

Original Sprout is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often required to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, although many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names “Original Sprout” and “D’Organiques Original Sprout” are registered trademarks of Original Sprout and will expire or renew on August 16, 2031 and September 9, 2028, respectively.

Original Sprout had eight full-time employees, not including temporary workers or “temp-to-hire” status workers, in California as of June 30, 2025.

U.S. and U.K. Financial Services – Marygold US and Marygold UK

In 2019, we entered the financial services industry to explore opportunities in the financial technology (“Fintech”) space and formed Marygold & Co., a Delaware corporation (“Marygold”) headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. In 2020, Marygold formed an investment advisory subsidiary, Marygold & Co. Advisory Services, LLC, a Delaware, limited liability company (“Marygold Advisors”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Marygold and registered the company as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act. Effective February 6, 2025, Marygold Advisors withdrew from registration as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act. Marygold and together with Marygold Advisors, are hereinafter referred to as, “Marygold US.”

Marygold US completed its development phase and the launch of its mobile Fintech app in June 2023. Marketing of the app to consumers commenced later that year and ceased its marketing efforts in January 2025. As of March 31, 2025, Marygold US ceased offering app services in the U.S. and removed the app from the online Playstores. Although the app performed as anticipated, Marygold US’ marketing efforts did not result in consumer adoption rates necessary to reach anticipated revenue targets. Further app development for the U.S. and operations have been paused; amounts held in customer accounts were refunded and all accounts were closed effective as of the end of fiscal year 2025.

The Marygold US app is a peer-to-peer (“P2P”) Fintech digital mobile banking app that facilitates the transfer of cash between two or more people that, unlike competitor apps, does not require both parties to each have the Marygold digital app in order to transfer cash. Marygold US app users were able to choose to transfer or receive cash within the U.S. efficiently if both users had the app or they could have chosen to send or receive a check mailed by the U.S. Postal Service or send and receive by ACH, email address or by providing a mobile number. This feature is called PayAnyone®. Every Marygold US app user received a free debit Mastercard® issued by a partner bank upon completion of a secure onboarding process. Along with the PayAnyone® feature, the Marygold US app also allowed users to “Tap & Pay” anywhere Mastercard® is welcome nationwide as well as for use with online shopping. The Marygold US app has the ability to split payments/bills without fees or limits between users. Marygold’s debit Mastercard® connected to a widely accepted ATM network system but ATM transactions have fees associated with the use and withdrawal of cash like most bank ATM out of network machines.

In addition to Marygold US’ P2P features, its investment advisory firm Marygold Advisors, provided educational information on personal investing and money management tips through the app. Users were able to invest their money utilizing timeline target oriented money pools (“Money Pools”) as part of its bespoke budgeting app product. The Money Pool feature allowed users a resource for saving money through use of Money Pool target goals. When a user wanted to budget, invest and grow their savings towards a goal such as purchasing a car, app users could use the Money Pool savings and investing feature to set a timeline goal for which they would need to grow their money in order to save enough through investing in Money Pools. The use of Money Pools could increase their initial investment toward their timeline goals and/or target purchase. After users inputted their target savings goal into the Money Pool app feature, the app provided a choice of ten Money Pools for a user to choose from. The investment risk decreased or increased depending on the initial investment and goal-oriented time frame chosen. Marygold Advisors further enhanced a user’s experience by creating an investment calculator tool within the app that provided users the ability to view their hypothetical target goal investment potential.

The Company devoted considerable resources to the development, marketing and support of Marygold US’ proprietary Fintech app and while Marygold US decided to pause operations and further development of the Fintech app in the U.S. market, the Company continues to seek funding options or partners to facilitate a re-entry into the U.S. Fintech market and/or licensing arrangements for the app in the future. We continue to offer a version of the app in the United Kingdom and expect to evaluate the acceptance and success of the Fintech app and seek to obtain market information that may be useful in the event of a relaunch in the U.S.

Employees

As of June 30, 2025, Marygold US had no full-time employees.

In 2021, we expanded our financial services into the United Kingdom by incorporating a new entity called, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, a private limited company incorporated and registered under the laws of England and Wales, whose registered office is in London, England, (“Marygold UK”).

In June 2022, Marygold UK acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tiger Financial & Asset Management, Limited, (“Tiger Financial”). Tiger Financial, a private company incorporated and registered in England and Wales, has a registered office in Northampton, England.

In October 2024, Tiger Financial changed its name to “Marygold & Co. Limited”. Marygold & Co. Limited has its registered office in Northampton, England. Marygold & Co. Limited is an asset manager regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

In May 2024, Marygold UK acquired all outstanding shares of Step-By-Step Financial Planners Limited (“Step-By-Step”), a private limited company incorporated and registered in England and Wales, whose registered office is in Staffordshire, England. Step-By-Step is an asset manager and registered investment advisor regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority. For a description of the terms of our acquisition of Step-By-Step, please refer to “Note 6. Business Combinations” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

In addition to its function as a holding company for U.K. investments and acquisitions, Marygold UK was formed to introduce a Marygold UK Fintech app into the United Kingdom with features designed to provide a suite of personal savings tools all integrated into a user’s digital world. The Marygold UK Fintech app was soft-launched in England during April 2025. The app has a “Piggy Bank” function, that enables users to take control of their financial future by providing the digital tools they need to save money more efficiently. The Piggy Bank app feature encourages mindful spending, adding customizable barriers to the visibility of savings and fostering long-term habits through an “out of sight, out of mind” approach. A Me2Me app feature will allow people to move their money between accounts and the app will be able to create custom notifications to encourage a user to put some money into their savings account. Through their partner bank in the UK, Griffin Bank Ltd., the app also offers a high yield savings account that is available to individuals and businesses. Griffin Bank Ltd. provides protections to Marygold UK customers as an authorized bank by the Prudential Regulation Authority and further regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. The Marygold UK app currently is only available in the UK.

Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step, together with Marygold UK are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Marygold UK”. Operations of Marygold UK are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition. As of June 30 2025, Marygold UK had a total of nine employees.

As of June 30, 2025, Marygold UK had $80.2 million in combined AUM. Marygold UK earns revenues in the form of advisory fees based on a percentage of the AUM. Marygold UK is planning to introduce the Marygold Fintech app to its customers and, more broadly, in the U.K. within the coming fiscal year. Marygold UK has yet to earn significant revenue from deployment of its Fintech app as of June 30, 2025.

Competition

As an investment advisor, both Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step have pursued separate niche markets to differentiate themselves from institutional and larger organizations providing investment advice and wealth management services to clients in the U.K. These two separate target markets have allowed Marygold & Co. Limited and Step-By-Step to succeed and grow their business despite a competitive landscape. Expectations are that the introduction of the Marygold Fintech app to their clientele will accelerate growth and further differentiate them from competitors who do not offer this capability.

Trademark

Marygold UK has begun the process of securing trademarks and service marks with respect to certain slogans, artwork, and logos related to the Marygold Fintech app.

Subsidiary Business Overview

Fund Management - USCF Investments

In 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in USCF Investments, Inc. (“USCF Investments”). USCF Investments is a U.S. corporation organized in the state of Delaware. USCF Investments is the parent and sole member of two fund management limited liability companies formed in the state of Delaware: United States Commodity Funds, LLC (“USCF LLC”) and USCF Advisers, LLC (“USCF Advisers”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers are each registered as a commodity pool operator, and each is a member of the National Futures Association. USCF Advisers is also registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”). USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, together with USCF Investments will be referred to hereafter as “USCF Investments.”

USCF LLC and USCF Advisers provide investment fund management and advisory services and receive management and/or investment advisory fees for providing such services to each of the ETFs it manages. Currently, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers collectively manage and service 16 exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), the shares or other interests of which are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The ETFs managed by USCF LLC and USCF Advisers have a combined total of $2.9 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of June 30, 2024.

Currently, USCF LLC serves as the general partner or sponsor of the following ETFs, each of which is conducting an ongoing public offering of its shares or interests pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”):

USCF LLC as general partner of the following funds United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2005 United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNG”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2006 United States Gasoline Fund, LP (“UGA”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (“USL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNL”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2007 United States Brent Oil Fund, LP (“BNO”) Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in 2009

Table of Contents

USCF LLC is the sponsor of the following funds, each a series of the United States Commodity Index Funds Trust (“USCIF Trust”) United States Commodity Index Fund (“USCI”) Series of the USCIF Trust created in 2010 United States Copper Index Fund (“CPER”) Series of the USCIF Trust created in 2010

USCF Advisers, a registered investment adviser, is the investment adviser to the funds listed below each a separate series of the USCF ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the ETF Trust. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements, USCF Advisers provides an investment program for each series of the ETF Trust and manages the investment of the funds’ assets.

USCF Advisers as fund manager for the following series of the ETF Trust: USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund (“SDCI”) Fund launched in 2018 USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund (“UMI”) Fund launched in 2021 USCF Gold Strategy Plus Income Fund (“USG”) previous ticker (“GLDX”) Fund launched in 2021, Ticker symbol change in 2024 USCF Dividend Income Fund (“UDI”) Fund launched in 2022 USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (“ZSB”) Fund launched in 2023 USCF Energy Commodity Strategy Absolute Return Fund (“USE”) Fund launched in 2023 USCF Sustainable Commodity Strategy Fund (“ZSC”) Fund launched in 2023 USCF Aluminum Strategy Fund (“ALUM”) Fund launched in 2023

USCF Investments’ revenue and expenses are primarily based upon and determined by the amount of AUM of the funds its subsidiaries manage. USCF Investments’ subsidiaries each earn monthly management and advisory fees based on its agreements with each fund. The management fees for a fund are determined on the basis of the percentage management fee structure for such fund as forth in its advisory agreement with the fund multiplied by the average AUM of such fund over a given period. Many of the company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of AUM. These variable expenses include fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by AUM.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, 75% of USCF Investments’ revenue were attributed to its subsidiaries’ management of its three largest funds as follows: United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2023, 73% of USCF Investments’ revenue was attributable to its subsidiaries’ management of United States Oil Fund, LP; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and United States Commodity Index Fund.

Competition

USCF Investments competes with other commodity fund managers which include larger, better financed companies and other boutique companies that offer ETFs similar to those offered by USCF Investments. Also, the larger and better financed competitors may be able to sponsor, develop and offer new ETFs more readily than USCF Investments. Many of these competitors have substantially greater technical and human resources than USCF Investments does, as well as greater experience in the discovery, research and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may have better performance or are more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. USCF Investments believes that it has carved out a unique set of ETFs that were first to market and it continues to create and launch funds that remain focused on its core business platform in the commodity sector of non-renewable energy while expanding its commodity index funds between broad commodities, equity and a mix of commodities and equities index funds. The ability to create and launch bespoke funds and series funds that provide exposure to certain commodity and equity groups allows USCF Investments to compete in this industry space as a boutique investment management company. USCF Investments will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds while competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.

Regulation

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries, USCF LLC and USCF Advisers, are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act and as a CPO under the CEA. Ongoing public offerings of the shares or other interests by ETFs sponsored by USCF LLC are required to be registered with the SEC under the Securities Act and each ETF has SEC reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Securities Exchange Act”). Each series of the ETF Trust managed by USCF Advisers is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Employees

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries have 14 full-time employees, a majority of whom are located in its Walnut Creek, California office. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed Funds’ assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. USCF Investments, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own expenses associated with providing these advisory services such as the expenses of the members of the independent board of directors. Independent director expenses are apportioned on a pro rata basis over each fund affiliated with USCF Investments.

Intellectual Property

USCF Investments subsidiary USCF LLC has registered the trademarks for the names “USCF LLC” and “USCF Advisers” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). The funds for which USCF LLC is a general partner or sponsor have registered trademarks owned by USCF LLC. USCF LLC was granted two patents Nos. 7,739,186 and 8,019,675 by the PTO for systems and methods for an exchange traded fund (ETF) that track the price of one or more commodities.

Food Products - Gourmet Foods

In 2015, we acquired Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a registered New Zealand company. Gourmet Foods manufactures and sells wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods manufactures wholesale bakery products, meat pies, patisserie cakes and slices on a commercial scale under brand names Ponsonby Pies and Pats Pantry and distributes substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand.

In 2020, Gourmet Foods acquired Printstock Products Limited (“Printstock”), a Flexographic printing company based in Napier, New Zealand that prints specialty wrappers for the food industry in Australia and New Zealand including those used by Gourmet Foods. Printstock’s operating results are consolidated with those of Gourmet Foods. Gourmet Foods and Printstock are collectively referred to hereinafter as “Gourmet Foods.”

Products and Customers

Gourmet Foods has two major product lines: 1) baking and 2) food wrapper printing. While these product lines are comprised of different customers and supply chains, we consider the consolidation of Gourmet Foods with Printstock to be within the food industry as Printstock only supplies its products to the manufacturers in the food industry, some of which are competitors to Gourmet Foods, and the inclusion of Printstock to the Gourmet Foods operations does not extend its presence beyond the food industry. Therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting, both revenue streams are considered part of the same “food products” segment.

Baking and Printing: Within the baking sector Gourmet Foods has three major customer groups: 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers and cafes. The grocery industry in New Zealand is dominated by several large chain operations, each of which is a customer of Gourmet Foods. There can be no assurance that these customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however, in view of the length of the relationship with such customers, management believes that such customers will continue purchasing Gourmet Foods’ products. In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand and a consortium of gasoline convenience stores. The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes. The printing sector of Gourmet Foods’ revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small. The two largest customers in the printing sector represented 67% of printing sector revenue in fiscal 2024.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available locally. However, the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in increased cost of raw ingredients and local shipping. These cost increases, coupled with the rising cost of labor, have negatively impacted Gourmet Foods profit margins and, in some instances, its ability to meet market demand in a timely manner. Although raw material availability has begun to return to normal levels, there remains a shortage of qualified labor for both the bakery and the printing sector. Gourmet Foods is focused on securing the best prices available for raw materials in the local market and recruiting experienced staff.

Table of Contents

Competition

Gourmet Foods competes with other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy economies of scale in production allowing them to offer products at lower retail prices, making it difficult for us to compete in the growing online sales channel of home deliveries. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time creates new products such as vegan pies, sausage rolls, and other items currently novel to New Zealand. Upon market acceptance of these new entrants, Gourmet Foods is able to sustain higher profit margins in the absence of direct competition. Gourmet Foods has also improved a portion of its supply chain by acquiring Printstock, which prints the food wrappers utilized by Gourmet Foods. Printstock, in turn, also faces competition from other New Zealand-based printing companies who offer similar services to the food production industry.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant.

Regulation

In New Zealand, Gourmet Foods is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it exports. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations customary in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution industry in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods believes it has all necessary licenses and permits and is compliant in all material respects with New Zealand laws and local regulations.

Employees

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, had 52 full-time employees in New Zealand as of June 30, 2024.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd. in New Zealand.

Security Systems - Brigadier

In 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”), a Canadian corporation. Brigadier was originally established in 1985. Brigadier has two hubs, one in Regina (Elite Security) and one in Saskatoon (Brigadier Security), in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring, access controls, ULC approved fire monitoring panels, and security systems to commercial and residential customers under the brand names “Brigadier Security Systems” and “Elite Security” throughout the Province of Saskatchewan.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier is a leading electronic security company in the Province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, fire alarm monitoring panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools, and public buildings. Its experience as the provider of choice for many large notable sites shows a commitment to design, service and support. Brigadier specializes and is certified to offer several major manufacturers’ products, including: Honeywell Security, Panasonic, Avigilon and JCI/DSC/Kantech security products.

Brigadier is an authorized SecurTek dealer. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel, Saskatchewan’s leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

Table of Contents

Brigadier is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with an alarm monitoring company that provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, but that alternate solutions would be available if such monitoring company terminates its agreement with Brigadier. Sales to its largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, were 42% of Brigadier’s total revenue for each of the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer. Brigadier is not reliant on any one supplier.

Competition

Brigadier competes with several larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services in Saskatchewan and Canada generally as well as globally. In addition, Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects to maintain its current market position in Saskatchewan and believes that opportunities exist to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies within this market. Brigadier’s management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Due to its location in Canada, winter weather may negatively affect its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, during the period from November through March Brigadier’s revenue is typically lower than during other months of the year.

Employees

Brigadier had 20 full-time employees in Canada as of June 30, 2024.

Beauty Products - Original Sprout

In 2017, we acquired all of the assets of Original Sprout LLC. Original Sprout LLC was founded in 2003. Original Sprout is engaged in the retail sales and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout on a global scale. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout’s website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, California.

Products and Customers

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has adjusted its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas during COVID-19 that resulted in social distancing and closures of retail businesses, consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, many of Original Sprout’s domestic distributors became retailers by selling direct to consumers on e-tail platforms. Original Sprout, in defense of its brand and price points, was compelled to transition from its wholesale distribution model to making direct sales to retail outlets and consumers through online platforms as well as through wholesalers. The negative effects of this transition resulted in reduced sales and increased operating losses as a result of the cancellation of domestic distribution channels. This trend is expected to continue as Original Sprout engages in new brand representation and secures reliable sales channels for its new and existing product lines. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $1.4 million during fiscal 2024 related to the goodwill and other intangible assets for Original Sprout.

Original Sprout sells its products through three distribution channels:

● direct sales to end users via online shopping carts; ● sales through international wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other international retailers or wholesalers, and ● to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Table of Contents

During the year ended June 30, 2024, Original Sprout did not have any significant customers; however, certain of Original Sprout’s customers may, from time to time, become significant during the reporting periods.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is reliant upon its relationships with two product formulating and packaging companies who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufacture its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, package them in appropriate containers supplied by Original Sprout, and deliver the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by these two packaging companies. However, management of Original Sprout believes that, if either of these companies were unable to provide such services, there are other similar production and packaging companies available at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiates it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants in the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence, some may be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of additional distributors, nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no assurance that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, although sales may fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sunscreen, are lower in winter months than in summer months.

Regulation

Original Sprout is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often required to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, although many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names “Original Sprout” and “D’Organiques Original Sprout” are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout had eight full-time employees, not including temporary workers or “temp-to-hire” status workers, in California as of June 30, 2024.

Financial Services – Marygold US and Marygold UK

In 2019, we entered the financial services industry to explore opportunities in the financial technology (“Fintech”) space and formed Marygold & Co., a Delaware corporation (“Marygold”). Marygold is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. In 2020, we formed an investment advisory firm, Marygold & Co. Advisory Services, LLC, a Delaware, limited liability company (“Marygold Advisors”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marygold. Marygold Advisors is an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act.

Marygold completed its development phase and the launch of its mobile Fintech app in June 2023.

Marygold has developed and continues to enhance and develop a peer-to-peer (“P2P”) Fintech digital money app that facilitates the transfer of cash between two or more people that, unlike competitor apps, does not require both parties to each have the Marygold digital app in order to transfer cash. Marygold app users may choose to transfer or receive cash within the United States efficiently if both users have the app or they may choose to send or receive a check mailed by the U.S. Postal Service to them or send and receive by ACH, email address or by providing a mobile number. This feature is called PayAnyone®. Every Marygold app user receives a free debit Mastercard® issued by its partner bank, Community Federal Savings Bank upon completion of a secure onboarding process. Along with the PayAnyone® feature, the Marygold app also allows users to “Tap & Pay” anywhere Mastercard® is welcome nationwide as well as for use with online shopping. The Marygold app has the ability to split payments/bills without fees or limits between users. Marygold’s debit Mastercard® is connected to a widely accepted ATM network system but ATM transactions have fees associated with the use and withdrawal of cash like most bank ATM out of network machines.

The Marygold Fintech app has evolved and, in addition to its Fintech app features, its Marygold’s investment firm subsidiary, Marygold Advisors, allows users to explore and tap into money management education and tools using its bespoke budgeting app product, money pools (“Money Pools”). The Money Pool app feature provides useful digital educational information on personal investing, money management, and saving money for target goals. When a user wants to budget, invest and grow their savings, app users can use the Money Pool budgeting feature based on timeline-oriented goals that allow a user to set a time goal for which they will need to grow their money. After users input their dollar goal into the Money Pool app feature with a goal-oriented time frame, the app provides a choice of three Money Pools for the user to choose from. The investment risk decreases or increases depending on the initial investment and goal-oriented time frame chosen. Understanding this risk/reward investment dynamic, Marygold Advisors created an investment calculator tool within the app to provide users the ability to view their hypothetical investment potential.

Marygold continues to devote considerable resources to the development, marketing and support of its proprietary Fintech software app that is envisioned to provide a competitive mobile experience to its customers. The Fintech app is available for Android and Apple iOS users to download on online app stores for free.

Marygold & Co. and together with Marygold Advisors, are hereinafter referred to as, “Marygold.”

Competition

We have many competitors in the Fintech, or financial technology, services industry, including institutional banks and start-ups, who offer a variety of financial services ranging from neo bank spending/receiving capabilities to loans and investing initiated on digital platforms. The Fintech industry is highly competitive, forcing participants to constantly innovate or to seek niche areas of a target market. Many of Marygold’s competitors have found success in such niche markets as making student loans, investing in crypto currencies, immediate credit for direct deposits, or trading stocks. Marygold is focusing on simplifying the management of its clients’ financial lives by bringing all aspects of banking to one simple to use mobile banking app. With a global market for fintech expected to be in excess of $340 billion in 2024, management anticipates only a small market share will be required for Marygold to be successful in reaching its revenue, profitability and other goals.

Intellectual Property

Marygold has a registered design mark and several trademarks in final stages towards registration pending with the PTO. The underlying code compiled in its mobile banking app and other custom programs are proprietary and trade secrets of Marygold.

Employees

Marygold employs nine full time staff members, a varying number of independent contractors, and also subcontracts for a variety of services, both in the U.S. and internationally.

Marygold UK

In 2021, we expanded our financial services into Great Britain by incorporating a new entity called, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, a private limited company incorporated and registered under the laws of England and Wales, whose registered office is in London, England, (“Marygold UK”).

In June 2022, Marygold UK acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tiger Financial & Asset Management, Limited, (“Tiger Financial”). Tiger Financial, a private company incorporated and registered in England and Wales, has a registered office in Northampton, England. Tiger Financial is an asset manager regulated under the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority. For a description of the terms of our acquisition of Tiger Financial, please refer to “Note 6. Business Combinations” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

In May 2024, Marygold UK acquired all outstanding shares of Step-By-Step Financial Planners Limited (“Step-By-Step”), a private limited company incorporated and registered in England and Wales, whose registered office is in Staffordshire, England. Step-By-Step is an asset manager and registered investment advisor regulated under the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority. For a description of the terms of our acquisition of Step-By-Step, please refer to “Note 6. Business Combinations” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Marygold UK was formed to introduce the Marygold Fintech app into the United Kingdom with features that management expects will provide a suite of personal savings tools all integrated into a user’s digital world. Customers will have a “Piggy Bank” function, that empowers users to take control of their financial future by providing the digital tools they need to save money more efficiently. The Piggy Bank app feature encourages mindful spending, adding customizable barriers to the visibility of savings and fostering long-term habits through an “out of sight, out of mind” approach. A Me2Me app feature will allow people to move their money between accounts and the app will be able to create custom notifications to encourage a user to put some money into their savings account. When the app is rolled out, existing clients of Marygold UK’s financial services subsidiaries, Tiger Financial and Step-By-Step, are expected to be the primary target market for the app.

Tiger Financial and Step-By-Step, together with Marygold UK are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Marygold UK”. Operations of Marygold UK are included in these consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition.

As of June 30, 2024, Marygold UK had $78 million in AUM. Marygold UK earns revenues in the form of advisory fees that are based on a percentage of the AUM. Marygold UK is planning to introduce the Marygold Fintech app to its customers and, more broadly, in the U.K. within the coming fiscal year. Marygold UK employs nine persons full time in the U.K.

Competition

As an investment advisor, both Tiger and Step-By-Step have pursued separate niche markets to differentiate themselves from institutional and larger organizations providing investment advice and wealth management services to clients in the U.K. These two separate target markets have allowed Tiger and Step-By-Step to succeed and grow their business despite a competitive landscape. Expectations are that the introduction of the Marygold Fintech app to their clientele will accelerate growth and further differentiate them from competitors who can offer no such mobile app.

Trademark

Marygold UK has begun the process of securing trademarks and service marks with respect to certain slogans, artwork, and logos related to the Marygold Fintech app.

On December 9, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in USCF Investments. USCF Investments wholly owns both USCF and USCF Advisers, which collectively operate 14 exchange traded products (“ETPs”) and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), each of which has its shares listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca"). The ETPs and ETFs managed by USCF and USCF Advisers have a total of approximately $3.5 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. USCF Investments receives revenues as a result of its ownership of USCF and USCF Advisers, which provides investment management and advisory services in exchange for management fees charged against the ETPs and ETFs. The ETPs and ETFs managed by USCF and USCF Advisers invest in a broad base index or single commodity, particularly in oil, natural gas, gasoline and metals.

USCF currently serves as the General Partner or the Sponsor to the following commodity pools, each of which is currently conducting a public offering of its shares pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended:

Competition

USCF Investments faces competition from other commodity fund managers, which include larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to USCF Investments. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than USCF Investments does, as well as greater experience in the discovery and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. USCF Investments will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.

Regulation

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is also registered as a CPO under the CEA.

The series of the ETF Trust managed by USCF Advisers are registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Employees

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries employ approximately 14 persons, a majority of whom are located in Walnut Creek, California. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed Funds’ assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. USCF Investments, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the board of directors of each fund who are affiliated with USCF Investments.

Intellectual Property

USCF Investments subsidiary USCF owns registered trademarks for USCF and USCF Advisers. The Funds for which USCF is a general partner or sponsor have registered trademarks owned by USCF.

Gourmet Foods, Ltd. (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd) and acquired by The Marygold Companies in August 2015. Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

On July 1, 2020, Gourmet Foods acquired the New Zealand company, Printstock Products Limited ("Printstock"). Located in nearby Napier, New Zealand, Printstock prints wrappers for food products, including those used by Gourmet Foods. Printstock is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gourmet Foods and its operating results are consolidated with those of Gourmet Foods from July 1, 2020 onwards.

Products and Customers

The Marygold Companies, through Gourmet Foods, and following the acquisition of Printstock Products Limited on July 1, 2020, has two major customer groups comprising gross revenues: 1) baking, and 2) printing. While these major groups are comprised of different customers and supply chains, we consider the consolidation of Gourmet Foods with Printstock to be within the food industry as Printstock only supplies the food industry manufacturers, some of which are competitors to Gourmet Foods, and the inclusion of Printstock to the Gourmet Foods operations does not extend its presence beyond the food industry. Therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting (Note 16), both revenue streams are considered part of the same "food industry" segment.

Baking: Within the baking sector there are three major customer groups; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers and cafes. The grocery industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however, many of the existing relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business. For the year ended June 30, 2023, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery and food industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 14% of baking sales revenues as compared to 22% for the year ended June 30, 2022. This customer accounted for 14% of the baking accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 as compared to 25% as of June 30, 2022. The second largest customer in the grocery and food industry did not account for significant sales during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. However, this customer did account for 8% and 26% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 accounted for approximately 57% and 50%, respectively, of baking gross sales revenues. No single member of the consortium accounted for significant portion of baking sales revenues. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ baking accounts receivable, however as a group they collectively accounted for 42% and 21% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. A second consortium of gasoline convenience stores accounted for 22% and 23% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. No single member of this consortium was a significant contributor to Gourmet Foods' sales revenues, but as a group they contributed 10% and 8% of the baking sales revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes, which accounted for the balance of baking gross sales revenue, however no single customer in this group was a significant contributor of baking sales revenues or baking accounts receivable as of and for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Printing: The printing sector of Gourmet Foods' gross revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small, with the largest customer accounting for 49% of the printing sector revenues and 39% of the printing sector accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 37% of printing sector revenues and 39% of printing sector accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022. The second largest customer accounted for 10% of printing sector revenues and 34% of printing sector accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023. There were no sales to this customer for the year ended June 30, 2022. No other customers comprised a significant contribution to printing sector sales revenues or accounts receivable as of and for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Consolidated: With respect to Gourmet Foods’ consolidated risk, the largest three customers accounted for 35%, 21% and 9% as compared to 32%, 14% and 13% of Gourmet Foods' consolidated gross revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These same customers accounted for 15%, 5% and 27%, respectively, with one additional customer accounting for 24% of the consolidated accounts receivable of Gourmet Foods as of June 30, 2023 as compared to 8%, 7%, 26% and 0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local marketplace should the need arise. However, the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in increased cost of raw ingredients and local shipping. These cost increases, coupled with rising cost of labor, have negatively impacted Gourmet Foods profit margins and, in some instances, their ability to meet market demand in a timely manner. Although raw material availability has begun to return to normal levels, there remains a shortage of qualified labor for both the bakery and the printing sector at acceptable wage levels. Gourmet Foods is focused on securing the best prices available for raw materials in the local market and recruiting experienced staff to replace those persons who failed to return to the workplace after the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions during the current fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Competition

Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and, even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time attempts to acquire other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies or confections. Gourmet Foods has also collapsed a portion of its supply chain by acquiring Printstock, who prints the food wrappers utilized by Gourmet Foods. Printstock, in turn, also faces competition from other New Zealand-based printing companies who offer similar services to the food production industry.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant and the opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset any corresponding downturn in revenues for Brigadier, our Canadian subsidiary, during winter months. Overall, The Marygold Companies’ consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Gourmet Foods.

Regulation

In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business. Gourmet Foods believes it has all necessary licenses and permits and is compliant in all material respects with New Zealand laws and local regulations.

Employees

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, employs approximately 52 persons in New Zealand.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

On June 2, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under the brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier, founded in 1985, is a leading electronic security company in the province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier has two offices located in the urban areas of Saskatchewan, Brigadier Security Systems in Saskatoon, and operating as Elite Security in Regina. The company's management team has a combined industry experience of over 136 years. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, fire alarm monitoring panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools, and public buildings. Their experience as the provider of choice on many large notable sites shows a commitment to design, service and support. Brigadier specializes, and is certified, in several major manufacturers’ products: Honeywell Security, Panasonic, Avigilon and JCI/DSC/Kantech security products. Brigadier and its staff are recognized for dedication to customer service with annual awards from SecurTek including being recipients of the Customer Retention, Service Excellence, and overall best dealer with the President’s Award. Brigadier has demonstrated a commitment to delivering outstanding quality to customers by the notable facilities, businesses, and homes they secure.

Brigadier is an authorized SecurTek dealer. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

Table of Contents

The Marygold Companies, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company that provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 42% and 52% of the total Brigadier revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 25% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2023 as compared to 31% as of June 30, 2022. No other customers were significant contributors to Brigadier sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2022, however another customer accounted for 27% of total Brigadier accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and 0% as of June 30, 2022.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer. Brigadier is not reliant on any one supplier.

Competition

Although it holds a leading market position in the province of Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services throughout Canada and globally. In addition, it is possible that Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects to maintain its current market position in Saskatchewan and believes that opportunities exist to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies within this market. Brigadier's management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through March typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year. Although this decrease in sales is observable, the downturn in sales revenues for the winter months at Brigadier are offset in large part by the increase in revenues for our subsidiary Gourmet Foods in the Southern Hemisphere. Overall, The Marygold Companies, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Brigadier.

Employees

Brigadier employs approximately 18 persons in Canada.

Kahnalytics was formed in 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and acquired the assets of Original Sprout LLC in December 2017. Original Sprout LLC was founded in 2003. Kahnalytics began doing business as Original Sprout in December 2017. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout's website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, CA, USA.

Products and Customers

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has made adjustments to its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas during the environment of social distancing and closures of retail businesses, consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, many of Original Sprout's domestic distributors became retailers by selling direct to consumers on e-tail platforms. Original Sprout, in defense of its brand and price points, was compelled to commence a transition from its wholesale distribution model to one wherein Original Sprout sells direct to retail outlets, or even direct to consumers, through online platforms. The negative effects of this transition are being realized through reduced sales revenues as a result of cancellation of domestic distribution channels. This trend is expected to continue well into the coming fiscal year as Original Sprout engages new brand representation and secures reliable sales channels for its new and existing product lines.

Original Sprout sells its products through 3 channels to market: 1) direct sales to end users via online shopping carts, 2) sales through international wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other international retailers or wholesalers, and 3) to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Original Sprout has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain of them become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Due to the increase in online sales channels and the discontinuation of most domestic distribution agreements, Original Sprout had no single customer who accounted for 10% or greater of total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to one customer who accounted for 11% of total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2022. There were four customers who accounted for 25%, 23% 13% and 11% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2023. These same customers accounted for 11% 12% 15% and 0%, respectively, at June 30, 2022 with two other customers accounting for 16% and 13% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 while being insignificant at June 30, 2023.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is dependent upon its relationships with two product formulating and packaging companies who, at the direction of Original Sprout, produce its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by these two packaging companies. If these relationships were to terminate, Original Sprout believes that there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiate it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants to the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence it is inevitable that some will be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than those of Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of additional distributors, contracts with additional nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the continued growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no guarantees that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, though sales will fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sunscreen, will be lower in winter months than in summer months. Overall, The Marygold Companies, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Original Sprout.

Regulation

In the U.S. our subsidiary, Original Sprout, is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often compelled to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, though many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names "Original Sprout", "D’Organiques Original Sprout" are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout employees approximately 7 persons on a full-time basis, not including temporary workers or "temp-to-hire" status workers, in California.

Marygold completed its development phase in June 2023. Marygold continues to devote considerable resources to the development of a proprietary Fintech software application that is envisioned to provide a superior mobile banking experience to its customers. Marygold employs six full time staff members and also subcontracts for a variety of services, both in the U.S. and internationally. These operating expenses are combined with those of The Marygold Companies in our Consolidated Financial Statements and segmented reports. Marygold launched its mobile app in June 2023 and thus had insignificant operations during the current year. For fiscal 2024 its operations will be segregated from those of the parent, The Marygold Companies.

Marygold UK was formed under the laws of England and Wales as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Marygold Companies for the specific purpose of acquiring existing operating companies in the financial services sector of the U.K. On June 20, 2022, Marygold UK entered into a Variation Agreement providing for a revised schedule of payments which shall be paid by Marygold UK to the seller, as described therein (the "Variation Agreement") and simultaneously therewith, Marygold UK completed the acquisition of Tiger Financial and Asset Management Limited ("Tiger"). Prior to June 20, 2022, Marygold UK had no operations, and any incidental expenses were consolidated with those of the parent. For the period June 20, 2022 through June 30, 2023, operating income and expenses were de minimis and are combined with those of the parent in our Consolidated Financial Statements and segmented reports where indicated. The business of Marygold UK will be that of Tiger, an asset manager and investment advisor to residents of the U.K. As of June 30, 2023, Tiger has approximately £32 million (approximately US$40 million) in assets under management. Tiger earns revenues as a percentage of the assets under management. At this level of assets under management, Tiger is nominally cash flow breakeven. Although assets under management have been stable and consistent over the prior 5-year period, management expects to be able to increase the level through a concentrated sales effort, however there is no assurance that such effort will be successful or that assets under management will not decline from their present level. Marygold UK is also planning to introduce the Marygold fintech app to its customers and, more broadly, to the population of the U.K. as the mobile app finalizes its commercial launch in the U.S. and banking relationships are established in the U.K. There is no scheduled timeline for this launch, nor can assurances be made that the product will be widely or well received by the target customer base. Marygold UK employs 3 persons full time in the U.K.

Competition

USCF Investments faces competition from other commodity fund managers, which include larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to USCF Investments. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than USCF Investments does, as well as greater experience in the discovery and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. USCF Investments will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.

Regulation

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “CEA”).

USCF Investments’ operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. USCF Investments, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the board of directors of each fund who are affiliated with USCF Investments.

Gourmet Foods, Ltd. (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd) and acquired by The Marygold Companies in August 2015. Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

On July 1, 2020, Gourmet Foods acquired the New Zealand company, Printstock Products Limited ("Printstock"). Located in nearby Napier, New Zealand, Printstock prints wrappers for food products, including those used by Gourmet Foods. Printstock is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gourmet Foods and its operating results are consolidated with those of Gourmet Foods from July 1, 2020 onwards.

Products and Customers

The Marygold Companies, through Gourmet Foods, and following the acquisition of Printstock Products Limited on July 1, 2020, has two major customer groups comprising gross revenues: 1) baking, and 2) printing. While these major groups are comprised of different customers and supply chains, we consider the consolidation of Gourmet Foods with Printstock to be within the food industry as Printstock only supplies the food industry manufacturers, some of which are competitors to Gourmet Foods, and the inclusion of Printstock to the Gourmet Foods operations does not extend its presence beyond the food industry. Therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting (Note 16), both revenue streams are considered part of the same "food industry" segment.

Baking: Within the baking sector there are three major customer groups; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however, many of the existing relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business. For the year ended June 30, 2022, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery and food industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 22% of baking sales revenues as compared to 18% for the year ended June 30, 2021. This customer accounted for 25% of the baking accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 as compared to 19% as of June 30, 2021. The second largest customer in the grocery and food industry did not account for significant sales during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. However, this customer did account for 26% and 27% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 accounted for approximately 50% and 49%, respectively, of baking gross sales revenues. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ baking accounts receivable, however as a group they collectively accounted for 21% and 22% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A second consortium of gasoline convenience stores accounted for 23% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. No single member of this consortium was a significant contributor to Gourmet Foods' sales revenues, but as a group they contributed 8% and 9% of the baking sales revenues for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes, which accounted for the balance of baking gross sales revenue, however no single customer in this group was a significant contributor of baking sales revenues or baking accounts receivable as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Printing: The printing sector of Gourmet Foods' gross revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small, with one customer accounting for 37% of the printing sector revenues and 39% of the printing sector accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 33% of printing sector revenues and 40% of printing sector accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. No other customers comprised a significant contribution to printing sector sales revenues or accounts receivable as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Consolidated: With respect to Gourmet Foods’ consolidated risk, the largest three customers accounted for 32%, 14% and 13% as compared to 32%, 12% and 12% of Gourmet Foods' consolidated gross revenues for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These same customers accounted for 7%, 8% and 26%, respectively, of the consolidated accounts receivable of Gourmet Foods as of June 30, 2022 as compared to 8%, 7%, 26%, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local marketplace should the need arise. However, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains has reduced available supplies of raw ingredients and increased their price. All sources of raw ingredients are experiencing shortages, and those shortages, along with price increases, have negatively impacted Gourmet Foods profit margins and, in some instances, their ability to meet market demand in a timely manner. As the industry continues to recover from the lock downs and other measures taken to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, management expects the availability of materials and competitive pricing to return to normal levels.

Competition

Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and, even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time attempts to acquire other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies or confections. Gourmet Foods has also collapsed a portion of its supply chain by acquiring Printstock, who prints the food wrappers utilized by Gourmet Foods. Printstock, in turn, also faces competition from other New Zealand-based printing companies who offer similar services to the food production industry.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant and the opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset any corresponding downturn in revenues for Brigadier, our Canadian subsidiary, during winter months. Overall, The Marygold Companies’ consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Gourmet Foods.

Regulation

In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business. Gourmet Foods believes it has all necessary licenses and permits and is compliant in all material respects with New Zealand laws and local regulations.

Employees

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, employs approximately 49 persons in New Zealand.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

On June 2, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under the brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier, founded in 1985, is a leading electronic security company in the province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier has two offices located in the urban areas of Saskatchewan, Brigadier Security Systems in Saskatoon, and operating as Elite Security in Regina. The company's management team has a combined industry experience of over 136 years. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, fire alarm monitoring panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools, and public buildings. Their experience as the provider of choice on many large notable sites shows a commitment to design, service and support. Brigadier specializes, and is certified, in several major manufacturers’ products: Honeywell Security, Panasonic, Avigilon and JCI/DSC/Kantech security products. Brigadier and its staff are recognized for dedication to customer service with annual awards from SecurTek including being recipients of the Customer Retention, Service Excellence, and overall best dealer with the President’s Award. Brigadier has demonstrated a commitment to delivering outstanding quality to customers by the notable facilities, businesses, and homes they secure.

Brigadier is an authorized SecurTek dealer. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

Table of Contents

The Marygold Companies, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company that provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 52% and 49% of the total Brigadier revenues for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 31% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2022 and 2021. No other customers were significant for the year ended June 30, 2022, however another customer accounted for 12% of total Brigadier revenues and 39% of accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer. Brigadier is not reliant on any one supplier.

Competition

Although it holds a leading market position in the province of Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services throughout Canada and globally. In addition, it is possible that Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects to maintain its current market position in Saskatchewan and believes that opportunities exist to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies within this market. Brigadier's management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through March typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year. Although this decrease in sales is observable, the downturn in sales revenues for the winter months at Brigadier are offset in large part by the increase in revenues for our subsidiary Gourmet Foods in the Southern Hemisphere. Overall, The Marygold Companies, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Brigadier.

Employees

Brigadier employs approximately 18 persons in Canada.

Kahnalytics was formed in 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and acquired the assets of Original Sprout LLC in December 2017. Original Sprout LLC was founded in 2003. Kahnalytics began doing business as Original Sprout in December 2017. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout's website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, CA, USA.

Products and Customers

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has made adjustments to its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas during the environment of social distancing and closures of retail businesses, consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, many of Original Sprout's distributors became retailers by selling direct to consumers on e-tail platforms. Original Sprout, in defense of its brand and price points, was compelled to commence a transition from its wholesale distribution model to one wherein Original Sprout sells direct to retail outlets, or even direct to consumers, through online platforms such as Costco.com and others. The positive effects of this transition are expected to be realized within the next 6 to 12 months, as will be evidenced by increasing profit margins to offset a decrease in sales to distributors.

Table of Contents

Original Sprout sells its products through 3 channels to market: 1) direct sales to end users via online shopping carts, 2) sales through international wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other retailers or wholesalers, and 3) to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Original Sprout has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain of them become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Due to the increase in online sales channels and the discontinuation of most domestic distribution agreements, Original Sprout had 1 significant international distributor for the year ended June 30, 2022 which accounted for 11% of Original Sprout's total revenues as compared to 4% of total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021. A different domestic customer, who was insignificant for the year ended June 30, 2022, accounted for 12% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2021. Six different customers, none of whom contributed significant sales levels, accounted for 19%, 16%, 15%, 13%, 12%, and 11% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 as compared to 15%, 30%, 6%, 7%, 17%, and 11%, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is dependent upon its relationship with a product formulating and packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, produces its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company. If this relationship were to terminate, Original Sprout believes that there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiate it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants to the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence it is inevitable that some will be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than those of Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of addition distributors, contracts with additional nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the continued growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no guarantees that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, though sales will fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sunscreen, will be lower in winter months than in summer months. Overall, The Marygold Companies, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Original Sprout.

Regulation

In the U.S. our subsidiary, Original Sprout, is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often compelled to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, though many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names "Original Sprout", "D’Organiques Original Sprout" are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout employees approximately 6 persons on a full-time basis, not including temporary workers or "temp-to-hire" status workers, in California.

While still in the development phase, Marygold continues to devote considerable resources to the development of a proprietary Fintech software application that is envisioned to provide a superior mobile banking experience to its customers. Marygold employs 6 full time staff members and also subcontracts for a variety of services, both in the U.S. and internationally. These operating expenses are combined with those of The Marygold Companies in our Consolidated Financial Statements and segmented reports. Marygold estimates that it will launch its mobile app during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and, at that time, its operations will be segregated from those of the parent, The Marygold Companies.

Marygold UK was formed under the laws of England and Wales as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Marygold Companies for the specific purpose of acquiring existing operating companies in the financial services sector of the U.K. On June 20, 2022, Marygold UK entered into a Variation Agreement providing for a revised schedule of payments which shall be paid by Marygold UK to the Seller, as described therein (the “Variation Agreement”) and simultaneously therewith, Marygold UK completed the acquisition of Tiger Financial and Asset Management Limited ("Tiger"). Prior to June 20, 2022, Marygold UK had no operations, and any incidental expenses were consolidated with those of the parent. For the period June 20, 2022 through June 30, 2022, operating income and expenses were de minimis and are combined with those of the parent in our Consolidated Financial Statements and segmented reports where indicated. The business of Marygold UK will be that of Tiger, an asset manager and investment advisor to residents of the U.K. As of June 30, 2022, Tiger has approximately £42 million in assets under management. Tiger earns revenues as a percentage of the assets under management. At this level of assets under management, Tiger is nominally cash flow breakeven. Although assets under management have been stable and consistent over the prior 5-year period, management expects to be able to increase the level through a concentrated sales effort, however there is no assurance that such effort will be successful or that assets under management will not decline from their present level. Marygold UK is also planning to introduce the Marygold fintech app to its customers and, more broadly, to the population of the U.K. as the mobile app finalizes its commercial launch in the U.S. and banking relationships are established in the U.K. There is no scheduled timeline for this launch, nor can assurances be made that the product will be widely or well received by the target customer base. Marygold UK employs 3 persons full time in the U.K.

Through June 30, 2021, expenditures were limited to developing the business model and the associated application development.

Concierge manages its operating businesses on a decentralized basis. There are no centralized or integrated operational functions such as marketing, sales, legal or other professional services and there is little involvement by Concierge’s management in the day-to-day business affairs of its operating subsidiary businesses apart from oversight. Concierge’s corporate management is responsible for capital allocation decisions, investment activities and selection and retention of the Chief Executive to head each of the operating subsidiaries. Concierge's corporate management is also responsible for corporate governance practices, monitoring regulatory affairs, including those of its operating businesses and involvement in governance-related issues of its subsidiaries as needed. Across Concierge and its subsidiaries the Company employs 111 people.

On December 9, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Wainwright. Wainwright wholly owns both USCF and USCF Advisers, which collectively operate 10 exchange traded products (“ETPs”) and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), each of which has its shares listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca"). The ETPs and ETFs managed by USCF and USCF Advisers have a total of approximately $4.5 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2021. Wainwright receives revenues as a result of its ownership of USCF and USCF Advisers, which provides investment management and advisory services in exchange for management fees charged against the ETPs and ETFs. The ETPs and ETFs managed by USCF and USCF Advisers invest in a broad base index or single commodity, particularly in oil, natural gas, gasoline and metals. We acquired Wainwright in a stock-for-stock exchange for (i) 27,293,333 shares of our common stock and (ii) 311,804 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred stock (which preferred shares are convertible into approximately 6,236,079 shares of Company Common Stock).

Competition

Wainwright faces competition from other commodity fund managers, which include larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to Wainwright’s. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than Wainwright does, as well as greater experience in the discovery and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. Wainwright will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.

Regulation

Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is also registered as a CPO under the CEA. Public offerings conducted by ETPs sponsored by USCF are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and each ETP has SEC reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The series of the ETF Trust managed by USCF Advisers are registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Employees

Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries employ approximately 15 persons, a majority of whom are located in Walnut Creek, California. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed Funds’ assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. Wainwright, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the board of directors of each fund who are affiliated with Wainwright.

Gourmet Foods, Ltd. (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd) and acquired by Concierge in August 2015. Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

On July 1, 2020, Gourmet Foods acquired the New Zealand company, Printstock Products Limited ("Printstock"). Located in nearby Napier, New Zealand, Printstock prints wrappers for food products, including those used by Gourmet Foods. Printstock is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gourmet Foods and its operating results are consolidated with those of Gourmet Foods from July 1, 2020 onwards.

Products and Customers

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, and following the acquisition of Printstock Products Limited on July 1, 2020, has two major customer groups comprising gross revenues: 1) baking, and 2) printing. While these major groups are comprised of different customers and supply chains, we consider the consolidation of Gourmet Foods with Printstock to be within the food industry as Printstock only supplies the food industry manufacturers, some of which are competitors to Gourmet Foods, and the inclusion of Printstock to the Gourmet Foods operations does not extend its presence beyond the food industry. Therefore, for the purpose of segment reporting (Note 15), both revenue streams are considered part of the same "food industry" segment.

Baking: Within the baking sector there are three major customer groups; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however, many of the existing relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business. For the year ended June 30, 2021, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery and food industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 18% of baking sales revenues as compared to 20% for the year ended June 30, 2020. This customer accounted for 19% of the baking accounts receivable at June 30, 2021 as compared to 15% as of June 30, 2020. The second largest customer in the grocery and food industry did not account for significant sales during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. However, this customer did account for 27% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 accounted for approximately 49% and 45%, respectively, of baking gross sales revenues. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ baking accounts receivable, however as a group they collectively accounted for 22% and 19% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A second consortium of gasoline convenience stores accounted for 23% and 15% of baking accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. No single member of this consortium was a significant contributor to Gourmet Foods' sales revenues, but as a group they contributed 9% of the baking sales revenues for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes, which accounted for the balance of baking gross sales revenue, however no single customer in this group was a significant contributor of baking sales revenues or baking accounts receivable as of and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Printing: The printing sector of Gourmet Foods' gross revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small, with one customer accounting for 33% of the printing sector revenues and 40% of the printing sector accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. No other customers comprised a significant contribution to printing sector sales revenues or accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. The acquisition of Printstock Products Limited occurred on July 1, 2020; therefore, there are no results for the prior year to compare to the year ended June 30, 2021.

Consolidated: With respect to Gourmet Foods’ consolidated risk, the largest three customers accounted for 32%, 12% and 12% of Gourmet Foods' consolidated gross revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021. Because Printstock was acquired on July 1, 2020, there is no relevant consolidated comparisons for the prior year period ended June 30, 2020. These same customers accounted for 26% of the consolidated accounts receivable of Gourmet Foods as of June 30, 2021, with no single customer accounting for more than 10% of Gourmet Foods' consolidated accounts receivable for the period.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise. However, the unavailability of, or increase in price in, any of the ingredients on which Gourmet Foods relies to produce its products could harm its operating results for such period.

Competition

Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and, even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time attempts to acquire other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies or confections. Gourmet Foods has also collapsed a portion of its supply chain by acquiring Printstock, who prints the food wrappers utilized by Gourmet Foods. Printstock, in turn, also faces competition from other New Zealand-based printing companies who offer similar services to the food production industry.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant and the opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset any corresponding down turn in revenues for Brigadier, our Canadian subsidiary, during winter months. Overall, Concierge's consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Gourmet Foods.

Regulation

In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business. Gourmet Foods believes it has all necessary licenses and permits and is compliant in all material respects with New Zealand laws and local regulations.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

Employees

Gourmet Foods, including Printstock, employs approximately 63 persons in New Zealand.

On June 2, 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under the brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier, founded in 1985, is a leading electronic security company in the province of Saskatchewan. Brigadier has two offices located in the urban areas of Saskatchewan, Brigadier Security Systems in Saskatoon, and operating as Elite Security in Regina. The company's management team has a combined industry experience of over 135 years. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, fire alarm monitoring panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools, and public buildings. Their experience as the provider of choice on many large notable sites shows a commitment to design, service and support. Brigadier specializes, and is certified, in several major manufacturers’ products: Honeywell Security, Panasonic, Avigilon and JCI/DSC/Kantech security products. Brigadier and its staff are recognized for dedication to customer service with annual awards from SecurTek including being recipients of the Customer Retention, Service Excellence, and overall best dealer with the President’s Award. Brigadier has demonstrated a commitment to delivering outstanding quality to customers by the notable facilities, businesses, and homes they secure.

Brigadier is an authorized SecurTek dealer. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

Table of Contents

Concierge, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company that provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 49% and 49% of the total Brigadier revenues for the years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 31% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2021 as compared to 40% as of June 30, 2020. Another customer accounted for 12% of total Brigadier revenues and 39% of accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, but was insignificant for the year ended June 30, 2020. No other single customer accounted for a significant percentage of total sales or accounts receivable for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer. Brigadier is not reliant on any one supplier.

Competition

Although it holds a leading market position in the province of Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services throughout Canada and globally. In addition, it is possible that Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects to maintain its current market position in Saskatchewan and believes that opportunities exist to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies within this market. Brigadier's management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through March typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year. Although this decrease in sales is observable, the downturn in sales revenues for the winter months at Brigadier are offset in large part by the increase in revenues for our subsidiary Gourmet Foods in the Southern Hemisphere. Overall, Concierge, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Brigadier.

Employees

Brigadier employs approximately 21 persons in Canada.

Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 and began doing business as Original Sprout in December 2017. Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on Original Sprout's website. Original Sprout operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, CA, USA.

Products and Customers

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has made adjustments to its primary distribution and marketing channels. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas in the current environment of social distancing and closures of retail businesses, Original Sprout initially encountered a significant drop in sales volumes as consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, Original Sprout has established new sales channels with online retailers and also encouraged those national retail chains who stock its products to also make them available at online shopping carts. The positive effects of this transition are now being realized, while decreased sales through the wholesale distribution business continue as a result of the continuation of the pandemic. The result is that total sales overall have been relatively stable during the pandemic, though derived from different sources.

Original Sprout sells its products through 3 channels to market: 1) direct sales to end users via online shopping carts, 2) sales through wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to other retailers or wholesalers, and 3) to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Original Sprout has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain of them become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Due to the increase in online sales channels, Original Sprout had 1 significant customer for the year ended June 30, 2021 which accounted for 12% of Original Sprout's total revenues and 15% of accounts receivable as compared to 3% of total revenues and 39% of accounts receivable as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020. A different customer who was insignificant for the year ended June 30, 2021, accounted for 10% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 0% of accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

Sources and Availability of Materials

Original Sprout is dependent upon its relationship with a product formulating and packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, produces its products in accordance with proprietary formulas, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company. If this relationship were to terminate, Original Sprout believes that there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in a timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which it believes differentiate it significantly from competitors that do not employ such standards. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products that directly compete with Original Sprout. As more entrants to the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence it is inevitable that some will be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than those of Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through the recruitment of addition distributors, contracts with additional nationwide retail stores, a continued emphasis on online sales either directly or through retail stores and an increased social media presence. Original Sprout believes that these steps will allow for the continued growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no guarantees that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, though sales will fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sun screen, will be lower in winter months than in summer months. Overall, Concierge, on a consolidated basis, does not experience any material seasonality due to Original Sprout.

Regulation

In the U.S. our subsidiary, Original Sprout, is not required to have permits or inspections by regulatory agencies for the products it formulates and distributes in the U.S.; however, it has chosen to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often compelled to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. We believe that Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, though many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names "Original Sprout", "D’Organiques Original Sprout" are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout employees 10 persons on a full time basis at its location in San Clemente, California.

Marygold & Co.

While still in the development phase, Marygold & Co. continues to devote considerable resources to the development of a proprietary Fintech software application that is envisioned to provide a superior mobile banking experience to its customers. Marygold & Co. employs 5 full time staff members and also subcontracts for a variety of services. These operating expenses are combined with those of Concierge in our Consolidated Financial Statements and segmented reports. Marygold & Co. estimates that it will launch its mobile app during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 and, at that time, its operations will be segregated from those of the parent, Concierge.

Competition

Wainwright faces competition from other commodity fund managers, which include larger, better financed companies that offer products similar to Wainwright’s. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than Wainwright does, as well as greater experience in the discovery and development of products and the commercialization of those products. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products we may commercialize. Wainwright will continue to develop and consider new fund opportunities identified through its research efforts and review of market needs. However, the cost of launching and seeding new funds is dependent upon existing and new capital resources. The ability to successfully launch new funds competing with much larger financial institutions with greater financial and human capital will be challenging.

Regulation

Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended and has registered as a CPO under the CEA. ETPs issued or sponsored by USCF are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933. USCF Advisers advises exchange traded funds and a mutual fund (liquidated during the current fiscal year) registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Employees

Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries employ approximately 15 persons, a majority of whom are located in Walnut Creek, California. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the retention of sub-advisers to manage the investments of each managed Funds’ assets in conformity with their respective investment policies if the operating subsidiary does not provide those services directly. Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries may also retain third-parties to provide custody, distribution, fund administration, transfer agency, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for each fund to operate. Wainwright, through its operating subsidiaries, bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the board of directors of each fund who are affiliated with Wainwright.

Intellectual Property

Wainwright subsidiary USCF owns registered trademarks for USCF and USCF Advisers. The funds for which USCF is a general partner or sponsor have registered trademarks owned by USCF. Additionally, USCF was granted two patents Nos. 7,739,186 and 8,019,675, for systems and methods for an exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the price of one or more commodities.

Gourmet Foods

Gourmet Foods, Ltd. (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd) and acquired by Concierge in August 2015. Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

Products and Customers

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business.

For the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2020, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 20% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues and 15% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as compared to 22% and 28% for the prior year ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 12% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 12% for the year ended June 30, 2019. This same group accounted for 26% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020 as compared to 19% as of June 30, 2019. In the gasoline convenience store market Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2020, accounted for approximately 45% of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenues as compared to 43% for the year ended June 30, 2019. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the remaining balance of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenue, however the group members are independently owned and individually responsible for their financial obligations with no one customer accounting for a significant portion of revenues or accounts receivable.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise. However, the unavailability of, or increase in price in, any of the ingredients on which Gourmet Foods relies to produce its products could harm its operating results for such period.

Competition

Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and, even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time attempts to acquire other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies or confections. Gourmet Foods also has interest in collapsing supply chains where possible, and subsequent to the end of the current fiscal year was successful in acquiring a printer of food packaging materials. (See Note 16 – Subsequent Events)

Table of Contents

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides it with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant and the opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset any corresponding down turn in revenues for Brigadier, our Canadian subsidiary, during winter months. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Gourmet Foods.

Regulation

In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

Employees

Gourmet Foods employs approximately 45 persons in New Zealand.

Brigadier

On June 2, 2016, Concierge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is the largest SecurTek Monitoring Solutions Inc dealer in Saskatchewan. With offices in both major urban areas of Regina (dba Elite Security Systems (2005) Ltd.) and Saskatoon. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with approximately 1.35 million customer connections across Canada. Brigadier is also a certified integrator for Avigilon Access Control and Video, Bosch Intrusion, Gallagher Access Control, Honeywell Access Control and Intrusion, Kantech Corporate Access Control and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, IP video systems, ULC certified fire alarms, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and brokers a 24/7 monitoring of their premises. The contract for monitoring the premises is typically supported by SecurTek, who pays Brigadier a monthly maintenance and support fee for each contract remaining in effect.

Concierge, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 49% and 46% of the total Brigadier revenues for the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 40% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2020 as compared to 37% as of June 30, 2019. No other single customer accounted for a significant percentage of total sales or accounts receivable for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer.

Table of Contents

Competition

Although it holds a dominant market position in the province of Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services. In addition, it is possible that Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects that their core customers will remain loyal and that an opportunity exists to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies. Brigadier's management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through March typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year. Although this decrease in sales is observable, the downturn in sales revenues for the winter months at Brigadier are offset in large part by the increase in revenues for our subsidiary Gourmet Foods in the Southern Hemisphere. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Brigadier Security Systems.

Employees

Brigadier employs approximately 21 persons in Canada.

Original Sprout

Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Concierge and is domiciled in the state of California. The dba/Original Sprout was adopted in December 2017 at the time the assets of Original Sprout LLC were acquired. Original Sprout develops and markets hair and skin products such as vegan shampoos, hair rinses, skin lotions, sun block, baby wash and related products under the brand names Original Sprout and Worry Free.

Products and Customers

Original Sprout sells its products through 3 channels to market: 1) direct sales to end users via online shopping cart, 2) distributors who, in turn, sell to other retailers or wholesalers, and 3) to retail stores selling to end users either from the shelf or online.

Concierge, through Original Sprout, has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain of them become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Original Sprout had 1 significant customer for the year ended June 30, 2020 accounting for 10% of total revenues and 0% of accounts receivable whereas a different customer accounted for 10% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2019 and 24% of accounts receivable. Two other customers who were not significant in total annual sales accounted for 39% and 18% of total account receivables at June 30, 2020 and 0% at June 30, 2019.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Concierge, through Original Sprout, is dependent upon its relationship with a product packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, produces the products in accordance with proprietary formulas, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company, although if this relationship were to fail there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which we believe differentiate it significantly from other main-stream products. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products for this market. As more entrants to the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence it is inevitable that some will be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than those of Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through recruitment of addition distributors, nationwide retail stores, and increased social media presence with the expectation that establishing brand awareness will allow the continued growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no guarantees that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, though sales will fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sun screen, will be lower in winter months than in summer months. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Original Sprout.

Regulation

In the U.S. our subsidiary, Original Sprout, is not required to have permits for distribution of its products, however it chooses to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often compelled to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. The Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, though many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names "Original Sprout", "D’Organiques Original Sprout" are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout employees 9 persons on a full time basis at its location in San Clemente, California.

Wainwright operates through USCF and USCF Advisers, which collectively operate 13 exchange traded products (“ETPs”) and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") with a total of approximately $2.4 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2019. Wainwright earns revenues through its subsidiaries' contractual agreements providing investment management and advisory services in exchange for management fees charged against the funds. Wainwright’s operating subsidiaries focus primarily on providing investment advisory services to funds that invest in a broad base or single commodity, particularly in oil, natural gas, gasoline and metals. Concierge acquired Wainwright in a stock-for-stock exchange for (i) 27,293,333 (as adjusted approximately for the 1 for 30 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common and preferred stock effective on December 15, 2017, (the "2017 Reverse Stock Split")) shares of our common stock and (ii) 311,804 (as adjusted approximately for the 2017 Reverse Stock Split) shares of our Series B Voting, Convertible, Preferred stock (which preferred shares are convertible into approximately 6,236,079 shares of Company Common Stock).

Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

Products and Customers

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business.

For the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2019, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 22% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues and 28% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as compared to 21% and 33% for the prior year ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 12% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 12% for the year ended June 30, 2018. This same group accounted for 19% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019 as compared to 16% as of June 30, 2018. In the gasoline convenience store market Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the year ended and balance sheet date of June 30, 2019, accounted for approximately 43% of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenues as compared to 41% for the year ended June 30, 2018. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the remaining balance of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenue, however the group members are independently owned and individually responsible for their financial obligations with no one customer accounting for a significant portion of revenues or accounts receivable.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise. However, the unavailability of, or increase in price in, any of the ingredients on which Gourmet Foods relies to produce its products could harm its operating results for such period.

Competition

Gourmet Foods faces competition from other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies located in New Zealand and Australia. Competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any products Gourmet Foods may commercialize. Larger competitors in New Zealand also enjoy a wider and more entrenched market share making it particularly difficult for us to penetrate certain market segments and, even if penetrated, might make it difficult to maintain. In an effort to expand its market presence and limit competitive interference, Gourmet Foods from time to time attempts to acquire other commercial-scale manufacturers of meat pies or confections. A recent attempt at such an acquisition was made during the current fiscal year, however failed subsequent to June 30, 2019 due to unsatisfactory results of due diligence discovery.

Seasonality

The location of Gourmet Foods in the southern hemisphere provides them with a warm Christmas holiday season and some increased business as customers tend to be traveling and purchase more ready-to-eat foods. Although this increase in sales is observable, it is not deemed significant and the opposing seasons to the northern hemisphere work to offset any corresponding down turn in revenues for Brigadier, our Canadian subsidiary, during winter months. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Gourmet Foods.

Regulation

In New Zealand our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, is required to have certain permits from health regulatory agencies and export permits for certain products it chooses to export. Gourmet Foods is also subject to local regulations as are usual and customary for those in the food processing, manufacturing and distribution business.

Intellectual Property

Gourmet Foods, Ponsonby Pies and Pat’s Pantry are all registered trademarks of Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

Employees

Gourmet Foods employs approximately 45 persons in New Zealand.

Brigadier

On June 2, 2016, Concierge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock in Brigadier, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Brigadier sells and installs alarm monitoring and security systems to commercial and residential customers under brand names "Brigadier Security Systems" and "Elite Security" throughout the province of Saskatchewan with offices in Saskatoon and Regina.

Services, Products and Customers

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek security monitoring dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of Regina (dba Elite Security Systems (2005) Ltd.) and Saskatoon. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Brigadier is also a Honeywell Certified Access Control Integrator, Kantech Corporate Certified Integrator and UTC Interlogix Authorized dealer and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, ULC certified fire alarm panels, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and brokers a 24/7 monitoring of their premises. The contract for monitoring the premises is typically supported by SecurTek, who pays Brigadier a monthly maintenance and support fee for each contract remaining in effect.

Concierge, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 46% and 41% of the total Brigadier revenues for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 37% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of June 30, 2019 as compared to 35% as of June 30, 2018. Another large account, which has been a significant customer this fiscal year, contributed 12% of the total sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2019 and nil for the year ended June 30, 2018. There were no accounts receivable from this customer as of the years ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Brigadier purchases alarm panels, digital and analog cameras, mounting hardware and accessory items needed to complete security installations from a variety of sources. The manufacture of electronic items such as those sought by Brigadier has expanded to a global scale thus providing Brigadier with a broad choice of suppliers. Brigadier bases its vendor selection on several criteria including: price, availability, shipping costs, quality, suitability for purpose and the technical support of the manufacturer.

Competition

Although it holds a dominant market position in the province of Saskatchewan, Brigadier faces competition from larger, better financed companies that offer similar products and services. In addition, it is possible that Brigadier may face increasing competition as disruptive technologies enter the market. However, with respect to the market share it currently enjoys, Brigadier expects that their core customers will remain loyal and that an opportunity exists to capitalize on the deployment of new technologies. Brigadier's management will continue efforts to capture additional customers through organic growth and a focus on quality.

Seasonality

Brigadier, due to its location in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, is far enough north that winter weather has a negative effect on its ability to complete some installations, particularly those involving new construction. For this reason, the period from November through March typically produces less revenue than comparison periods during other seasons of the year. Although this decrease in sales is observable, the downturn in sales revenues for the winter months at Brigadier are offset in large part by the increase in revenues for our subsidiary Gourmet Foods in the Southern Hemisphere. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Brigadier Security Systems.

Employees

Brigadier employs approximately 21 persons in Canada.

Original Sprout

Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 and adopted the dba/Original Sprout in December 2017 (see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). For the year ended June 30, 2017 (prior to the acquisition of the Original Sprout assets), Kahnalytics had incurred de minimis operating losses insignificant to the overall enterprise. Prior to the acquisition of the Original Sprout assets, and as of June 30, 2017, the residual business the company was founded to oversee was being wound down and management expected to transition focus to another industry. As of June 30, 2018, this legacy business had been completely wound down. Accordingly, the results of operations for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2018 reflects only two quarters of business operations with the newly acquired assets and should not be viewed as indicative of a full twelve-month period of operations. Similarly, there is no meaningful comparative data for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2018 as the business included nominal subscription sales to a web hosted service and not the wholesale distribution of beauty products as it currently exists.

Products and Customers

Original Sprout sells its products through 3 channels to market: 1) direct sales to end users via online shopping cart, 2) distributors who, in turn, sell to other retailers or wholesalers, and 3) to retail stores selling to end users.

For the year ended June 30, 2018, Original Sprout, which operated with its current product offering for only 194 days, is not indicative of historical or future operations. For the actual concentration of risk with respect to the current business, focus is given for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 and no comparison exists for the prior year period as only partial business in this sector was conducted by Original Sprout. Among thousands of customers, Original Sprout does have several major accounts with distributors however only one account represented 10% of our annual sales revenues. There were 3 major distributor accounts, all current, representing 25%, 17%, and 12% for a total of 54% of all accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019 as compared to 10%, 20% and 3%respectively as of June 30, 2018.

Sources and Availability of Materials

Concierge, through Original Sprout, is dependent upon its relationship with a product packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, produces the products in accordance with proprietary formulas, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company, although if this relationship were to fail there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing. Because of the nature of the Original Sprout product ingredients, some of the ingredients may, at times, be difficult to source in timely fashion or at the expected price point. To safeguard against this possibility Original Sprout endeavors to maintain at least a 90-day supply of all products in stock. Estimating and maintaining a reserve stock account is not a guarantee that a shortage of ingredient supplies will not affect production such that Original Sprout will not exhaust its reserves or be unable to fulfill customer orders.

Competition

Original Sprout manufactures and distributes only 100% vegan, safe and non-toxic, hair and skin care products which we believe differentiate it significantly from other main-stream products. The use of organic and natural extracts is a growing trend in the U.S. and abroad, and other established brands are beginning to make products for this market. As more entrants to the high-end, vegan, hair care segment come into existence it is inevitable that some will be better financed and have more brand recognition and resources than those of Original Sprout. Original Sprout is focused on promoting its own brand name as a recognized pioneer in 100% vegan, safe, effective, hair care products through recruitment of addition distributors, nationwide retail stores, and increased social media presence with the expectation that establishing brand awareness will allow the continued growth of annual revenues and market share protection, though there can be no guarantees that such efforts will be sufficient to offset the effects of competition in the future.

Seasonality

There is no significant seasonality for sales of products for Original Sprout, though sales will fluctuate around traditional holidays, and certain products, such as sun screen, will be lower in winter months than in summer months. Overall, the consolidated business does not experience any material seasonality due to Original Sprout.

Regulation

In the U.S. our subsidiary, Original Sprout, is not required to have permits for distribution of its products, however it chooses to gain recognition from certain testing laboratories and other quasi-regulatory agencies for compliance with accepted standards for hair and skin care ingredients and lack of toxic chemicals in their formulas and processes. For export, Original Sprout is often compelled to submit its products to foreign government agencies or certified laboratories for ingredient testing prior to being accepted for import as a “safe” product. The Original Sprout products comply with all applicable regulations, both domestic and foreign, in areas where they are sold or distributed.

Intellectual Property

The formulations and ingredient percentages of the many products of Original Sprout are considered its intellectual property, though many cannot be patented, they are maintained as confidential. The names "Original Sprout", "D’Organiques Original Sprout" are registered trademarks of Original Sprout.

Employees

Original Sprout employees 9 persons on a full time basis at its location in San Clemente, California.
