Subsidiary Business Overview

USCF Investments

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:

USCF as General Partner for the following funds
United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”)	Organized as a Delaware limited partnership in May 2005

USCF Advisers, a registered investment adviser, serves as the investment adviser to the funds listed below within the USCF ETF Trust (the “ETF Trust”) and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration for the ETF Trust. Pursuant to the current Investment Advisory Agreements, USCF Advisers provides an investment program for each of series within the ETF Trust and manages the investment of the assets.

For the year ended June 30, 2023 approximately 73% of USCF Investments’ revenue were attributed to its three largest funds which were United States Oil Fund, LP, United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and United States Commodity Index Fund as compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 with approximately 73% of the revenue attributed to United States Oil Fund, LP, United States Natural Gas Fund, LP and United States Commodity Index Fund.

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. 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

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. 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 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.

7

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.

Brigadier

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.

8

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.

Original Sprout

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.

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

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

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.

Controlled Company Status

Pursuant to a voting agreement, (the “Voting Agreement”), Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, through their respective trusts, will represent 22,948,008, or 56.84% of the Voting Stock with respect to matters that may have a material impact on Company strategy and shareholder rights. Because more than 50% of the combined voting power of all of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned by Messrs. Gerber and Schoenberger, we are a “controlled company” as defined in section 801(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide. As such, we are exempt from certain NYSE American rules requiring our Board of Directors to have a majority of independent members, a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Marygold Companies and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or similar expressions) are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in its business operations which are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that are presently unknown or are currently deemed immaterial may also impair our business operations. The following risk factors should be read in connection with the other information included in this annual report on Form 10-K, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our financial statements and the related notes.

The Company’s business and operation could be negatively affected by any material litigation involving the Company or its subsidiaries.

USCF, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is currently subject to class action litigation. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, are in the early stages of the proceedings, and are subject to appeal. In addition, because most legal proceedings are resolved over extended periods of time, potential losses are subject to change due to, among other things, new developments, changes in legal strategy, the outcome of intermediate procedural and substantive rulings and other parties’ settlement posture and their evaluation of the strength or weakness of their case against us. For these reasons, we are currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from, the matters described in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, an adverse outcome in this litigation could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

11

Litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from a company’s business. Additionally, litigation could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to a company’s future, adversely affect its relationships with vendors and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, a company subject to litigation may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any litigation.

COVID-19 Risk

The Company may be impacted by certain continuing aftereffects from the economic disruption imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was first detected in China in December 2019 and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19 has resulted in numerous deaths, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines and the imposition of both local and more widespread “work from home” measures, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to affect the Company and its’ service providers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain COVID-19. Given the significant economic and financial market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Additional risks and uncertainties that are presently unknown or are currently deemed immaterial may also impair our business operations. These risk factors should be read in connection with the other information included in this annual report on Form 10-K, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to our Business and Structure

The Marygold Companies is a holding company and its only material assets are its cash in hand, equity interests in its operating subsidiaries and its other investments. As a result, The Marygold Companies’ principal source of cash flow is distributions from its subsidiaries and its subsidiaries may be limited by law and by contract in making distributions to The Marygold Companies.

As a holding company, The Marygold Companies’ assets are its cash and cash equivalents, the equity interests in its subsidiaries and other investments.

The principal source of cash flow is distributions from our subsidiaries. Thus, our ability to finance future acquisitions or develop new projects is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities, and although they may be wholly-owned or controlled by us, they have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends, distributions or otherwise. The ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us are and will remain subject to, among other things, restrictions that are contained in each subsidiaries’ financing agreements, availability of sufficient funds and applicable state laws and regulatory restrictions.

Claims of creditors of our subsidiaries generally will have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and claims of our creditors and stockholders. To the extent our cash flow is dependent on our subsidiaries ability to make distributions to us could materially limit our ability to grow, pursue business opportunities or make acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses.

12

Our business is subject to extensive government regulation and oversight. Our failure to comply with extensive, complex, overlapping, and frequently changing rules, regulations, and legal interpretations could materially harm our business.

Our business is subject to complex and changing laws, rules, regulations, policies, and legal interpretations in the markets in which we operate, including, but not limited to, those governing and enforcing: banking, credit, deposit taking, cross-border and domestic money transmission, prepaid access, foreign currency exchange, privacy and data protection, data governance, cybersecurity, banking secrecy, digital payments and cryptocurrency, payment services (including payment processing and settlement services), fraud detection, consumer protection, antitrust and competition, economic and trade sanctions, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing. As we, through our subsidiaries, introduce new products and services and expand into new markets, including through acquisitions, we may become subject to additional regulations, restrictions, and licensing requirements.

Any failure or perceived failure to comply with existing or new laws, regulations, or orders of any government authority (including changes to or expansion of their interpretation) may subject us to significant fines, penalties, criminal and civil lawsuits, forfeiture of significant assets, and enforcement actions in one or more jurisdictions; result in additional compliance and licensure requirements; cause us to lose existing licenses or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional licenses that may be required for our business; increase regulatory scrutiny of our business; divert management’s time and attention from our business; restrict our operations; lead to increased friction for customers; force us to make changes to our business practices, products or operations; require us to engage in remediation activities; or delay planned transactions, product launches or improvements. Any of the foregoing could, individually or in the aggregate, harm our reputation, damage our brands and business, and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We have implemented policies and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, and agents will not violate such laws and regulations.

We are dependent on certain key personnel, the loss of which may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Major capital allocation decisions and investment decisions are made by Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nicholas Gerber, with consultation from key personnel, from our management team and the executive management teams from our subsidiaries. The executive management teams that lead the Company and our subsidiaries are also highly experienced and possess extensive skills in their industry. If Mr. Gerber were to become unavailable, there could be a material adverse impact on our operations. However, the Company’s Board of Directors have the power and authority to fill a vacancy left by Mr. Gerber. The ability to retain key personnel is important to our success and future growth. Competition for these professionals can be intense, and we may not be able to retain and motivate our existing officers and senior employees and continue to compensate such individuals competitively. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a detrimental effect on our operations and negatively impact our financial condition or results of operations of our businesses and could hinder the ability of our business and our subsidiaries to effectively compete in the various industries in which we operate.

We need qualified personnel to manage and operate our subsidiaries.

Our decentralized business model requires that we retain qualified and competent managers to continue day-to-day operations of our subsidiaries and continue business operations in a changing political, business or regulatory environment. Our subsidiaries require qualified and competent personnel to execute their business plans and continue servicing their clients, suppliers and other stakeholders. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel to operate our business subsidiaries could negatively impact our operating results and our overall financial condition that is important to our success and future growth.

Risks related to commodity prices could materially and adversely affect USCF’s business.  

In 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and disputes among oil-producing countries regarding potential limits on the production of crude oil, significant market volatility occurred and is continuing in the crude oil markets as well as the oil futures markets. As a result of this, significant market volatility in the oil futures markets, the market price of the front month futures contract fell below zero for a period of time.

Crude oil prices also vary depending on a number of factors affecting supply. For example, increased supply from the development of new oil supply sources and technologies to enhance recovery from existing sources tends to reduce crude oil prices to the extent such supply increases are not offset by commensurate growth in demand. Similarly, increases in industry refining or petrochemical manufacturing capacity may impact the supply of crude oil. World oil supply levels can also be affected by factors that reduce available supplies, such as adherence by member countries to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") production quotas and the occurrence of wars, hostile actions, natural disasters, disruptions in competitors' operations, or unexpected unavailability of distribution channels that may disrupt supplies. Technological change can also alter the relative costs for companies in the petroleum industry to find, produce, and refine oil and to manufacture petrochemicals, which in turn may affect the supply of and demand for oil.

The demand for crude oil also correlates closely with general economic growth rates. The occurrence of recessions or other periods of low or negative economic growth will typically have a direct adverse impact on crude oil prices. Other factors that affect general economic conditions in the world or in a major region, such as changes in population growth rates, periods of civil unrest, pandemics (including COVID-19), government austerity programs, or currency exchange rate fluctuations, can also impact the demand for crude oil. Sovereign debt downgrades, defaults, inability to access debt markets due to credit or legal constraints, liquidity crises, the breakup or restructuring of fiscal, monetary, or political systems such as the European Union, and other events or conditions that impair the functioning of financial markets and institutions also may adversely impact the demand for crude oil.

13

Abnormally wide bid/ask spreads and market disruptions that halt or disrupt trading or create extreme volatility could undermine investor confidence in the ETP investment structure and limit investor acceptance of ETPs.

ETPs trade on exchanges in market transactions that generally approximate the value of the referenced assets or underlying portfolio of securities held by the particular ETP. Trading involves risks including the potential lack of an active market for fund shares, abnormally wide bid/ask spreads (the difference between the prices at which shares of an ETP can be bought and sold) that can exist for a variety of reasons and losses from trading. These risks can be exacerbated during periods when there is low demand for an ETP, when the markets in the underlying investments are closed, when markets conditions are extremely volatile or when trading is disrupted. This could result in limited growth or a reduction in the overall ETP market and result in our revenues not growing as rapidly as it has in the recent past or even in a reduction of revenues.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from our USCF Investments subsidiary, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the ETPs and ETFs sponsored by USCF and advised by USCF Advisers.

For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 60% and 63% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from USCF Investments operations, which consists of the management of ETPs and ETFs by USCF and USCF Advisers. As a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of these funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of these funds, as well as investor sentiment toward investing in the funds' strategies. If the assets under management in these funds were to decline, either because of declining market values or net outflows from these funds, our revenues would be adversely affected.

We rely on third party suppliers, and our business may be affected by interruption of supplies or increases in product costs.

Gourmet Foods obtains most food related products and services from third party suppliers. Gourmet Foods typically does not have long-term contracts with suppliers. Although Gourmet Foods' purchasing volume can provide leverage when dealing with suppliers, suppliers may not provide the foodservice products and supplies Gourmet Foods needs in the quantities and at the time and prices requested. Gourmet Foods does not control the actual production of most of the products it sells. This means Gourmet Foods is also subject to delays caused by interruption in production and increases in product costs based on conditions outside its control. These conditions include work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers; severe weather; crop conditions; product recalls; transportation interruptions; unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs; competitive demands; and natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events (including, but not limited to, the outbreak of food-borne illnesses in the United States). Gourmet Foods' inability to obtain adequate supplies of foodservice and related products because of any of these or other factors could mean that Gourmet Foods could not fulfill its obligations to its customers and, as a result, customers may turn to other distributors.

Product recalls or other product liability claims could materially and adversely affect us.

Selling products for human consumption involves inherent legal and other risks, including product contamination, spoilage, product tampering, allergens, or other adulteration. We could in the future be required to recall products due to suspected or confirmed product contamination, adulteration, product mislabeling or misbranding, tampering, undeclared allergens, or other deficiencies. Product recalls or market withdrawals could result in significant losses due to their costs, the destruction of product inventory, and lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for a period of time.

Adverse attention about these types of concerns, whether or not valid, may damage our reputation, discourage consumers from buying our products, or cause production and delivery disruptions that could negatively impact our net sales and financial condition.

We may also suffer losses if our products or operations violate applicable laws or regulations, or if our products cause injury, illness, or death. In addition, our marketing could face claims of false or deceptive advertising or other criticism. A significant product liability or other legal judgment or a related regulatory enforcement action against us, or a significant product recall, may materially and adversely affect our reputation and profitability. Moreover, even if a product liability or fraud claim is unsuccessful, has no merit, or is not pursued to conclusion, the negative publicity surrounding assertions against our products or processes could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and operating results.

Our stock price may change significantly, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid or at all, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The stock market may routinely experience periods of large or extreme volatility. In some instances, this volatility is unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies.

● The trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected due to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control. These factors may include, among other thing, results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors; changes in expectations as to our or our industry's future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors, and the publication of research reports regarding the same;

14

●	changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in our industry or markets;
	future issuances or sales or purchases of our common stock or other securities;
●	the public's response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC; duck
●	changes in senior management or other key personnel.

In the past, we have expanded our business internationally. This expansion subjects us to increased operational, regulatory, financial and other risks.

We face increased operational, regulatory, financial, compliance, reputational and foreign exchange rate risks as a result of our international expansion. The failure of our compliance and internal control systems to properly mitigate such additional risks, or of our operating infrastructure to support such expansion, could result in operational failures and regulatory fines or sanctions. If our international products and operations experience any negative consequences or are perceived negatively in non-U.S. markets, it may also harm our reputation in other markets, including the U.S. market.

Our risk management policies and procedures, and those of our third-party vendors upon which we rely, may not be fully effective in identifying or mitigating risk exposure, including employee misconduct. If our policies and procedures do not adequately protect us from exposure to these risks, we may incur losses that would adversely affect our financial condition, reputation and market share.

We have developed risk management policies and procedures and we continue to refine them as we conduct our business. Many of our procedures involve oversight of third-party vendors that provide us with critical services. Our policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure.

These risks are difficult to detect in advance and deter, and could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. If our policies and procedures do not adequately protect us from exposure and our exposure is not adequately covered by insurance or other risk-shifting tools, we may incur losses that would adversely affect our financial condition and could cause a reduction in our revenues as investors in our products shift their investments to the products of our competitors.

We rely on trademarks, trade secrets, and other forms of intellectual property protections, which may not be adequate to protect us from misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property.

We rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate our businesses. We have applied for registration of a limited number of trademarks in the U.S. and in certain other countries, some of which have been registered or issued. We cannot guarantee that our applications will be approved by the applicable governmental authorities, or that third parties will not seek to oppose or otherwise challenge our registrations or applications. We also rely on unregistered proprietary rights, including common law trademark protection. Third parties may use trademarks identical or confusingly similar to ours, or independently develop trade secrets or know-how similar or equivalent to ours. If our proprietary information is divulged to third parties, including our competitors, or our intellectual property rights are otherwise misappropriated or infringed, our business could be harmed or adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Controlled Company Election and Status

We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NYSE American rules and rely on exemptions from various corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of other companies.

We are a "controlled company" as defined in section 801(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide because more than 50% of the combined voting power of all of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned or controlled by Messrs. Gerber and Schoenberger. Under the NYSE American rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by another person or group of persons acting together is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE American corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

● A majority of the Company's Board of Directors consist of independent directors;

● the Company has a nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; duck

● the Company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities.

These independence standards are intended to ensure that directors who meet those standards are free of any conflicting interest that could influence their actions as directors.

15

The Company may elect in the future to use certain of these controlled company exemptions and the Company may continue to use all or some of these exemptions in the future for so long as the Company is a controlled company. Although we may rely on NYSE American's controlled company exemptions in the future, we currently have an independent board, nomination and governance committee and compensation committee. If the makeup of one or more of our board, nomination and governance committee or compensation committee changes such that we no longer comply with the independence standard of the NYSE American guidelines, then our stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE American rules.

The Company's CEO, through the Gerber Trust, controls a significant percentage of our common stock, and may exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval as well as heightened voting power at the board level, preventing other stockholders and new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

Mr. Nicholas D. Gerber, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Board of the Company, is the beneficial owner of approximately 18,250,015 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), representing approximately 45.21% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock (giving effect to the conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock). Mr. Gerber's Common Stock is held by the Nicholas and Melinda Gerber Living Trust (the "Gerber Trust"). Nicholas Gerber and Melinda Gerber serve as trustees of the Gerber Trust; As such, the Gerber Trust and Mr. Gerber share power to vote or to direct the vote of the shares and share power to dispose or to direct the disposition of Common Stock beneficially owned or controlled by Mr. Gerber.

Mr. Scott Schoenberger is a member of the Board of the Company. Mr. Schoenberger's shares of Common Stock are held by the Schoenberger Family Trust (the "Schoenberger Trust"). Mr. Schoenberger serves as the sole trustee of the Schoenberger Trust; As such, the Schoenberger Trust and Mr. Schoenberger share power to vote or to direct the vote of the shares and share power to dispose or to direct the disposition of these shares. Shares of our Common Stock held by Schoenberger Trust total 4,697,993 shares, representing 11.64% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (giving effect to the conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock).

Additionally, pursuant to a voting agreement, (the "Voting Agreement"), the Gerber Trust and Schoenberger Trust will continue to vote all shares of Voting Stock owned by them to elect each of Messrs. Gerber and Schoenberger to the Board along with other designees mutually agreed upon. By virtue of the Voting Agreement, Messrs. Gerber and Schoenberger will represent 22,948,008, or 56.84% of the Voting Stock with respect to matters that may have a material impact on Company strategy and shareholder rights.

In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, Directors have voting power equivalent to their percentage of total Share ownership, multiplied by the number of directors then on the board of directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, with no Director holding less than one vote. As a result of Mr. Gerber’s ownership of Company Shares, Mr. Gerber has a relatively higher number of votes relative to other directors, in proportion to Mr. Gerber’s ownership interest in the Company.

Cyber Security Risks

The efficient operation of our businesses is dependent on computer hardware and software systems. Unauthorized computer infiltration, denial-of-service attacks, phishing efforts, unauthorized access, malicious software codes, computer viruses or other such harmful computer campaigns may negatively impact our business causing significant disruptions to our business operations. We expect that we may be subject to a cyber-attack in some form or fashion in the future as such attacks become more sophisticated and frequent to all industries and all businesses of every size. There can be no assurance that our cyber-security measures and technology will adequately protect us from these and other risks, including external risks such as natural disasters and power outages and internal risks such as insecure coding and human error.

Although we have undertaken steps to prevent and mitigate cyber risks, there is no guarantee that our efforts will prevent cyber-attacks perpetrated against our information systems which could result in loss of assets and critical information, theft of intellectual property or inappropriate disclosure of confidential information and could expose us to remediation costs and reputational damage which could adversely affect our business in ways that cannot be predicted at this time. Any of these risks could materially affect our results of operations and consolidated financial results.

Future acquisitions or business opportunities could involve unknown risks that could harm our business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a holding company that owns interests in a number of different businesses. We have in the past, and intend in the future, to acquire businesses that involve unknown risks, some of which will be particular to the industry in which the investment or acquisition targets operate, including risks in industries with which we are not familiar or experienced. There can be no assurance our due diligence investigations will identify every matter that could have a material adverse effect on us or the entities that we may acquire. We may be unable to adequately address the financial, legal and operational risks raised by such investments or acquisitions, especially if we are unfamiliar with the relevant industry, which can lead to significant losses on material investments. The realization of any unknown risks could expose us to unanticipated costs and liabilities and prevent or limit us from realizing the projected benefits of the investments or acquisitions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity. In addition, our financial condition, results of operations and the ability to service our debt may be adversely impacted depending on the specific risks applicable to any business we invest in or acquire and our ability to address those risks.

We could consume resources in researching acquisitions, business opportunities or financings and capital market transactions that are not consummated, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or invest in another business.

We are a holding company in the business of owning diverse and profitable businesses. Our business model also encompasses researching and investigating new acquisitions and business opportunities to support the growth of our Company. With each new contemplated acquisition or business opportunity, there are resources that must be allocated towards acquisition or engaging in a new business opportunity such as, the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments with respect to such transaction and may require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for financial advisors, accountants, attorneys and other advisors. If a decision is made not to consummate a specific acquisition, business opportunity or financing and capital market transaction, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached relating to a specific acquisition, investment target or financing, we may fail to consummate the investment or acquisition for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control. Any such event could consume significant management time and result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could adversely affect our financial position and our ability to consummate other acquisitions and investments.

We may fail to effectively integrate the businesses we acquire.

Historically, a portion of our growth has come through acquisitions. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully or realize anticipated synergies in a timely manner, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. Integrating acquired businesses may be more difficult in a region or market where we have limited expertise. A significant expansion of our business and operations, in terms of geography or magnitude, could strain our administrative and/or operational resources. Significant acquisitions may also require incurring debt. This could increase our interest expense and make it difficult for us to obtain financing for other significant acquisitions or capital investments in the future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings arising primarily from the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Except as described below, there are no pending legal proceedings against the Company. USCF is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. USCF, as the general partner of USO and the general partner and sponsor of the related public funds may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. Except as described herein, USO and USCF are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

Settlement of SEC and CFTC Investigations

On November 8, 2021, USCF and USO announced a resolution with each of the SEC and the CFTC relating to matters set forth in certain Wells Notices issued by the staffs of each of the SEC and CFTC as more fully described below.

17

On August 17, 2020, USCF, USO, and John Love received a "Wells Notice" from the staff of the SEC (the "SEC Wells Notice"). The SEC Wells Notice stated that the SEC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Subsequently, on August 19, 2020, USCF, USO, and Mr. Love received a Wells Notice from the staff of the CFTC (the "CFTC Wells Notice"). The CFTC Wells Notice stated that the CFTC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the CFTC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 4o(1)(A) and (B) and 6(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "CEA"), 7 U.S.C. §§ 6o(1)(A) and (B) and 9(1) (2018), and CFTC Regulations 4.26, 4.41, and 180.1(a), 17 C.F.R. §§ 4.26, 4.41, 180.1(a) (2019).

On November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF and USO, the SEC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act, directing USCF and USO to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77q(a)(3) (the SEC Order). In the SEC Order, the SEC made findings that, from April 24, 2020 to May 21, 2020, USCF and USO violated Section 17(a)(3) of 1933 Act, which provides that it is "unlawful for any person in the offer or sale of any securities to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the purchaser." USCF and USO consented to entry of the SEC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Separately, on November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF, the CFTC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 6(c) and (d) of the CEA, directing USCF to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, 7 U.S.C. § 6o(1)(B), and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), 17 C.F.R. § 4.41(a)(2) (the "CFTC Order"). In the CFTC Order, the CFTC made findings that, from on or about April 22, 2020 to June 12, 2020, USCF violated Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), which make it unlawful for any commodity pool operator ("CPO") to engage in "any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant" and prohibit a CPO from advertising in a manner which "operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant," respectively. USCF consented to entry of the CFTC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Pursuant to the SEC Order and the CFTC Order, in addition to the command to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, and CFTC Regulation 4.14(a)(2), civil monetary penalties totaling two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) in the aggregate were required to be paid to the SEC and CFTC, of which one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) was paid by USCF to each of the SEC and the CFTC, respectively, pursuant to the offsets permitted under the orders.

In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation

On June 19, 2020, USCF, USO, John P. Love, and Stuart P. Crumbaugh were named as defendants in a putative class action filed by purported shareholder Robert Lucas (the "Lucas Class Action"). The Court thereafter consolidated the Lucas Class Action with two related putative class actions filed on July 31, 2020 and August 13, 2020, and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04740.

On November 30, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the "Amended Lucas Class Complaint"). The Amended Lucas Class Complaint asserts claims under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint challenges statements in registration statements that became effective on February 25, 2020 and March 23, 2020 as well as subsequent public statements through April 2020 concerning certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint purports to have been brought by an investor in USO on behalf of a class of similarly-situated shareholders who purchased USO securities between February 25, 2020 and April 28, 2020 and pursuant to the challenged registration statements. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint seeks to certify a class and to award the class compensatory damages at an amount to be determined at trial as well as costs and attorney's fees. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint named as defendants USCF, USO, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes III, as well as the marketing agent, ALPS Distributors, Inc., and the Authorized Participants: ABN Amro, BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Company, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Company Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Virtu Financial BD LLC.

The lead plaintiff has filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its claims against BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Company, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC.

18

USCF, USO, and the individual defendants in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation intend to vigorously contest such claims and have moved for their dismissal.

Mehan Action

On August 10, 2020, purported shareholder Darshan Mehan filed a derivative action on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes, III (the "Mehan Action"). The action is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda as Case No. RG20070732.

The Mehan Action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to USO and failed to act in good faith in connection with a March 19, 2020 registration statement and offering and disclosures regarding certain extraordinary market conditions that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. All proceedings in the Mehan Action are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest such claims.

In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation

On August 27, 2020, purported shareholders Michael Cantrell and AML Pharm. Inc. DBA Golden International filed two separate derivative actions on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Andrew F Ngim, Gordon L. Ellis, Malcolm R. Fobes, III, Nicholas D. Gerber, Robert L. Nguyen, and Peter M. Robinson in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York at Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 (the "Cantrell Action") and Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06981 (the "AML Action"), respectively.

The complaints in the Cantrell and AML Actions are nearly identical. They each allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 21D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and common law claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. These allegations stem from USO's disclosures and defendants' alleged actions in light of the extraordinary market conditions in 2020 that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaints seek, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. The plaintiffs in the Cantrell and AML Actions have marked their actions as related to the Lucas Class Action.

The Court consolidated the Cantrell and AML Actions under the caption In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 and appointed co-lead counsel. All proceedings in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest the claims in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation.

Optimum Strategies Action

On April 6, 2022, USO and USCF were named as defendants in an action filed by Optimum Strategies Fund I, LP, a purported investor in call option contracts on USO (the "Optimum Strategies Action"). The action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut at Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-00511.

The Optimum Strategies Action asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act ("CUSA"). It purports to challenge statements in registration statements that became effective in February 2020, March 2020, and on April 20, 2020, as well as public statements between February 2020 and May 2020, in connection with certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks damages, interest, costs, attorney's fees, and equitable relief.

19

On March 15, 2023, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. In its ruling, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss, with prejudice, the plaintiff's claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and a claim for control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Having dismissed all claims over which the court had original jurisdiction, the court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the plaintiff's state law claim under CUSA and dismissed the claim without prejudice. No notice of appeal was filed.

Dividends

We have declared no dividends for the current year, nor do we expect to in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporation's assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business. Under Nevada law, a company - such as our company - can pay dividends only

• from retained earnings, and

• no distribution can be made, if after giving it effect,

• the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

• except as otherwise specifically allowed by the articles of incorporation, the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

Our strategy on dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained earnings and only when our Board of Directors deems it prudent and in the best interests of the company to declare and pay dividends.

See "Consolidated Financial Statements." In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Introduction

The Marygold Companies, Inc. ("The Marygold Companies" or the "Company") conducts business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries operating in the U.S., New Zealand and Canada. The operations of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries are more particularly described herein but are summarized as follows:

● USCF Investments, Inc. ("USCF Investments"), a U.S. based company, is the sole member of two investment services limited liability company subsidiaries that manages, operates or is an investment advisor to exchange traded funds organized as limited partnerships or investment trusts that issue shares that trade on the NYSE Arca stock exchange.

● Gourmet Foods, Ltd., a New Zealand based company, manufactures and distributes New Zealand meat pies on a commercial scale and its wholly-owned New Zealand subsidiary company, Printstock Products Limited, prints specialty wrappers for the food industry in New Zealand and Australia. (collectively "Gourmet Foods") 

● Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. ("Brigadier"), a Canadian based company, sells and installs commercial and residential alarm monitoring systems.

● Kahnalytics, Inc. dba/Original Sprout ("Original Sprout"), a U.S. based company, is engaged in the wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout on a global scale.

● Marygold & Co., a newly formed U.S. based company, together with its wholly-owned limited liability company, Marygold & Co. Advisory Services, LLC, ( collectively "Marygold") was established by The Marygold Companies to explore opportunities in the financial technology ("Fintech") space, completed its development phase in June 2023, and launched its commercial services in June 2023. Through June 30, 2023, expenditures have been limited to developing the business model and the associated application development.

● Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, a newly formed U.K. limited company, together with its newly acquired UK subsidiary, Tiger Financial and Asset Management, Ltd. (collectively "Marygold UK") is an asset manager and registered investment advisor in the UK. Operations began on June 20, 2022.

Because the Company conducts its businesses through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, the risks related to our wholly-owned subsidiaries are also risks that impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations. See," Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies / Major Customers and Suppliers - Concentration of Credit Risk" in the consolidated financial statements for more information. The emergence of a novel coronavirus on a global scale, known as COVID-19, and related geopolitical events could lead to increased market volatility, disruption to U.S. and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse effects on the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial risk to future operations is largely unknown, (refer to Part I, Item 1A, for further details.)

21

Critical Accounting Policies

We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant policies are summarized in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals ("US GAAP" or "GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from those estimates.

We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in the preparation of our financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Business Combinations - Purchase Price Allocation

We are a diversified holding company whose activities involve the acquisition of operating companies through stock purchase or asset purchase transactions. We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. All the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and amounts attributable to intangible assets, including goodwill, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities involves estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. We use various techniques to determine fair value in such instances, including the income approach and use of independent valuation firms. Significant estimates used in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase consideration over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. See Note 8 for further detail on goodwill. Management's estimate of fair value is based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, and are supported by independent valuations where possible, but nevertheless remain subjective and subject to future adjustment if actual results differ from the estimates.

Foreign Subsidiaries

We currently have three wholly-owned subsidiaries that are domiciled in foreign countries. In the future we may acquire additional foreign subsidiaries. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are kept in accordance with their respective local jurisdictions and require adjustment in order to conform to U.S. GAAP. Additionally, local currencies of these subsidiaries require conversion to our US dollar in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Due to changing currency translation rates, the value of our assets and liabilities held in foreign jurisdictions are inherently volatile in nature and may vary significantly despite our use of averages and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Our operating subsidiaries derive revenues from a number of sources including sales of hardware, services, food items, printing, financial services, and consumer products. The company recognizes the revenue when the product or service is delivered, or the ownership of the product is deemed to have been transferred to the buyer. We carefully monitor the outgoings of product shipments and service completions to ensure revenues are properly recorded. In the case of continued support services, such as warranty or extended contracts, the company makes an assessment at each reporting period as to the significance of the cost of such support or warranty. This estimate is based on historical experience and careful monitoring of costs throughout the reporting period to determine if any reserve should be recorded for estimated expenses. We believe we have made careful and reasonable estimates, however adjustments may be required in the future if actual results vary from our estimates.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to apply necessary resources, which may include experienced personnel, cash, or synergistic acquisitions made with cash, equity or debt, into growing each of our business units to their potential. Original Sprout has found it necessary to alter its approach through domestic distribution channels. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer shopping habits, many domestic distributors have found it advantageous to sell direct to consumers online, thus becoming retailers in lieu of distributors. The result has been an erosion of profit margins and a fragmented sales channel which have slowed the product roll out plans of Original Sprout. They are in the final stages of correcting this situation and, in spite of incurring losses as a result, expect to realize significant growth in sales volume and profits in the coming fiscal year. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and partnering with local telecoms and contractors. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently as low margin products are eliminated, new channels to market are established, and the printing and sale of food wrappers by their subsidiary, Printstock, continue to improve. USCF Investments will continue to develop innovative and new fund products to grow its portfolio. In addition to our long-term mission that is an acquisition strategy based upon identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a diverse nature and with in-place management that produces increased revenue streams, the Company is also focused upon building expertise and developing Fintech opportunities in the financial services sector through its subsidiary Marygold and Co. To augment that effort, the Company established a subsidiary in England, Marygold UK, who acquired a registered UK investment advisor, Tiger Financial and Asset Management ("Tiger"). We hope to leverage the client list, industry experience, and banking relationships of Tiger to project our Marygold & Co fintech offerings in the UK during the coming fiscal year. In a more general sense, the Company is characterizing its business in two categories: 1) financial services and 2) other consumer-based operating units. The purpose is to isolate the cyclical, and sometimes volatile, nature of the financial services business from our other industry segments. As revenues from financial services fluctuate over time due to varying performance of the commodities markets, our other operations are expected to be stable and sustainable by comparison. By these initiatives we seek to:

● continue to gain market share for our wholly-owned subsidiaries' areas of operation,

22

● increase our revenues and realize net operating profits,

● lower our operating costs by unburdening certain selling expenses to third party distributors,

● have sufficient cash reserves to pay down accrued expenses.

● attract parties who have an interest in selling their privately held companies to us,

● achieve efficiencies in accounting and reporting through adoption of standards used by all subsidiaries on a consistent basis,

● strategically pursue additional company acquisitions, and

● expand launch of services by Marygold & Co., Marygold UK, and Marygold & Co. Advisory Services LLC, and the creation of new corporate entities as focused subsidiary holdings.

Results of Operations

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Revenue, Expenses and Operating Income

Consolidated revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $34.9 million representing approximately a $3.0 million or 8% decrease from the prior year revenue of $37.8 million. The decrease in consolidated revenues is primarily attributed to the decrease in annual revenues of USCF Investments. USCF Investments' average Assets Under Management ("AUM") for the year ended June 30, 2023 was lower than that of 2022, which resulted in a revenue decrease of approximately $3.0  million. The other non-financial subsidiaries combined for a total decrease in revenues of approximately $0.5 million or approximately 4%, offset by $0.5 million in revenue from our UK financial services subsidiary which did not have a full year of operations during the prior year.

Consolidated operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $33.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the prior year expense of $35.5 million primarily due to the $2.5 million legal settlement incurred by USCF Investments in the prior year.

The Marygold Companies produced operating income for the year ended June 30, 2023 of $1.4 million as compared to $2.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. This represents a decrease in operating income of $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 or approximately 33%. Apart from the $3.0 million decline in revenues, the difference in operating income is attributed to the expenses incurred by our subsidiary, Marygold & Co., in development of its mobile fintech app, which amounted to approximately $3.4 million, and a legal settlement of $2.5 million incurred by our USCF Investments subsidiary in the prior year.

Other Income (Expenses) 

Other income (expense) for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $174 thousand and ($22) thousand, respectively, resulting in income before income tax of $1.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Income Tax

Provision for income tax for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, primarily attributable to our United States operations through our USCF Investments subsidiary. Income tax expense recorded at The Marygold Companies level totaled $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2023, while a tax expense of $1.1 million was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2022. The remaining income tax expense was recorded at the subsidiary level during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net Income

Overall, the net income between the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 increased by approximately $19 thousand, or approximately 2%, to approximately $1.2 million. The increase in net income for the year ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the $2.5 million legal expense incurred in the prior year, lower operating expenses in the current year, and offset by lower fund management revenue from USCF Investments due to a lower amount of AUM coupled with approximately $3.4 million expensed at The Marygold Companies for the mobile fintech app development costs.

Comprehensive Income

After giving consideration to a currency translation gain of approximately $0.1 million, our comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2023 was $1.3 million as compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 where there was a currency translation (loss) of ($0.4) million which resulted in comprehensive income of $0.8 million. Comprehensive gain and loss are comprised of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and effects in the valuation of our holdings in the U.K., New Zealand and Canada.

USCF Investments' revenue and expenses are primarily driven by the amount of AUM. USCF Investments earns monthly management and advisory fees based on agreements with each Fund as determined by the contractual basis point management fee structure in each agreement multiplied by the average AUM over the 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. Total Operating Expenses are grouped into the following financial statement line items: General and Administrative, Marketing, Operations and Salaries and Compensation.

24

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023, Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Revenue

Average AUM for the year ended June 30, 2023 was at $3.7 billion, as compared to approximately $4.4 billion from the year ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in AUM at USO, BNO and USCI, partially offset by an increase with UNG. As a result, the revenues from management and advisory fees decreased by approximately $3.0 million, or 12%, to $20.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 where revenues from management and advisory fees totaled $23.8 million.

Expenses

USCF Investments' total operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $3.4 million, after recording the $2.5 million Wells Notice payment in the prior year, to $13.4 million, or approximately 20%, from $16.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Variable expenses, as described above, decreased by $1.2 million over the respective twelve-month period due to lower AUM for USO, BNO and USCI during the fiscal year which resulted in lower fund accounting and administration expenses, sub-advisory fees, marketing and distribution expenses and other variable costs. General and Administrative expenses increased $0.3 million to $2.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in new fund start up costs, travel expenses and software subscriptions. Total marketing expenses decreased $0.8 million to $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in marketing distribution costs as a result of lower overall AUM and new reduced contractual rates for fund distribution, partially offset by increases in advertising and marketing conferences. Other Operating expenses decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to lower sub-adviser fees as result of lower AUM for USCI, and lower fund accounting and administration expense due to lower average AUM from other funds. Employee Salaries and Compensation expenses were approximately $4.7 million and $4.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, for the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to moving three employees to The Marygold Companies parent to better align functions and the related expense across the entities.

Income

Income before income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased $0.5 million to $7.6 million from $7.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 due to a $3.0 million decrease in revenue as a result of lower AUM, a $3.4 million decrease in operating expenses, and after recording the $2.5 million legal settlement expense in the prior year.

Food Products - Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

Gourmet Foods was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd). 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.

Gourmet Foods operates exclusively in New Zealand and thus the New Zealand dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate The Marygold Companies' reporting currency, the US dollar, with that of Gourmet Foods, The Marygold Companies records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The translation of New Zealand currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in foreign currency translation (loss) gain on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as well as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income found on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023, Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Revenue

Net revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $7.6 million with cost of goods sold of $5.7 million resulting in a gross profit of $1.9 million, or approximately 25% gross margin, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 where net revenues were $7.9 million and cost of goods sold were $5.9 million producing a gross profit of $2 million, or approximately 25% gross margin. The decrease in revenues is partially attributed to the decline of the New Zealand dollar against the U.S. dollar coupled with the changing product mix sold to grocery stores.

25

Expenses

General, administrative and selling expenses, including wages, depreciation and marketing, for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1.6 million producing operating income of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, or approximately 4% net operating profit for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Other income comprised of rental income, interest income less other expenses totaled approximately $27 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to ($29) thousand for the year ended June 30, 2022. 

Income

Income for the year ended June 30, 2023, after income tax of $0.1 million, resulted in net income of approximately $0.3 million as compared to a net income of $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023, Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Beauty Products - Original Sprout 

Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 and adopted the dba/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 the company's website. The company operates from warehouse and sales offices located in San Clemente, CA, USA. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lock downs, Original Sprout made adjustments to its primary channels to market to allow for online shopping and contactless deliveries. 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 post-COVID-19 wholesale distributors have now adopted the practice of selling direct to consumers via e-tail platforms such as Amazon. This trend has eroded the retail price point and made it difficult for Original Sprout to maintain a presence on the shelf of retail outlets. As a result, many of the agreements with domestic wholesalers have been cancelled in an effort to thwart brand and price erosion. New channel partners are being established and price protections are being implemented, however the negative effects of the transition to new sales channels are reflected in reduced revenues and operating losses for the year ended June 30, 2023. Management expects to recover from the transition and realize higher revenues and positive operating results in the coming fiscal year. 

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023, Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Revenue

Net revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $3 million with cost of goods sold of approximately $1.7 million resulting in a gross profit of approximately $1.3 million and a gross margin of approximately 42% compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 were net revenues totaled $3.5 million with cost of goods sold of approximately $2.1 million resulting in a gross profit of approximately $1.4 million and a gross margin of approximately 41%.

Expenses

General, administrative and selling expenses for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, resulting in operating (losses) of approximately ($285) thousand and ($193) thousand, respectively.

Income

After consideration given to income tax provision and other (expenses) income of ($3) thousand and $5 thousand, respectively, the net (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately ($289) thousand and ($188) thousand, respectively.

Financial Services - Marygold UK

Marygold UK operates through its wholly owned subsidiary Tiger Financial & Asset Management Limited ("Tiger"), which was acquired in June 2022. Tiger acts as an investment advisor and financial planner to its clients and has two principal revenue streams which comprise ongoing fees for providing investment advice, and commissions for the intermediation of insurance-based products. Approximately 39% of revenues are derived from fees earned from ongoing (recurring) investment advice as compared to 61% derived from ongoing (recurring) commissions received for intermediating insurance-based products. Tiger does not provide investment management services directly, rather the clients’ assets are referred to third party investment managers, primarily discretionary investment managers. Tiger receives fees for the ongoing advice and financial planning services which are charged as a percentage of the assets under management, which as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $40 million. There is no comparison data as Tiger was acquired in the current fiscal year and Marygold UK had no operations prior to the acquisition of Tiger in 2022.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023

Revenue

Net revenue for the year ended June 30, 2023 was $517 thousand.

Expenses

General, administrative and operating expenses totaled $440,514 for the year ended June 30, 2023 resulting in an operating income of $76 thousand.

Income

After consideration given to income tax provision of $23 thousand, the net income for the year ended June 30, 2023 was $53 thousand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Marygold Companies is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At the holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to operational expense, the funding of additional business acquisitions and new investment opportunities. Our operating subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes. Cash is managed at the holding company or the subsidiary level. There are no limitations or constraints on the movement of funds between the entities.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $8.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $0.4 million in restricted cash, on a consolidated basis as compared to $12.9 million as of June 30, 2022. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the continuing investment in the development of the mobile fintech app by Marygold.

During the past five fiscal years combined, The Marygold Companies has invested an aggregate of approximately $6.6 million in cash towards purchasing and assimilating Printstock within Gourmet Foods, and adding the Original Sprout assets into the The Marygold Companies group of companies as well as forming a new U.K. limited company, Marygold UK, and funding it with enough capital to pay approximately $1.8 million in cash towards the $2.9 million purchase price of its subsidiary, Tiger. We have also invested approximately $9.4 million in the development of Fintech applications through our development stage subsidiary, Marygold. Despite these cash investments and expenses, our working capital position remains strong at approximately $22.6 million. While The Marygold Companies intends to maintain and improve its revenue stream from wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Marygold Companies continues to pursue acquisitions of other profitable companies which meet its target profile. Provided The Marygold Companies' subsidiaries continue to operate as they are presently, and are projected to operate, The Marygold Companies has sufficient capital to pay its general and administrative expenses for the coming fiscal year and to adequately pursue its long-term business objectives. However, given the significant economic and financial market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Lease Liability

The Company has various operating leases for offices, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The total amount due under these obligations was $837,844 and $1,404,880 as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The obligations will reduce over the passage of time through periodic lease payments. See Note 15 for further analysis of this obligation.

27

Borrowings

As of June 30, 2023, we had $0.3 million of third-party indebtedness on a consolidated basis as compared to $0.4 million of third-party and related-party indebtedness as of June 30, 2022. Approximately US$340,849 is owed by Brigadier and secured with the land and building in Saskatoon purchased in July 2019. The initial principal balance was CD$525,000 (approximately US$401,000 translated as of the loan date July 1, 2019) with an annual interest rate of 4.14% maturing June 30, 2024. The short-term portion of principal for this loan due within 12 months as of June 30, 2023 is CD$451,500 (approximately US$340,849). Interest on the loan is expensed or accrued as it becomes due. Interest expense on the loan for the year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was US$14,231 and US$15,742, respectively.

In addition to the loan due by Brigadier, our subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, has a finance lease liability related to a solar energy system. Total lease liabilities under the lease for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were NZ$174,405 (approximately US$106,469 translated as of June 30, 2023) as compared to NZ$203,814 (approximately US$124,422 translated as of June 30, 2023), respectively, and are included under loans - property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. 

The Marygold Companies, without inclusion of its subsidiary companies, had no debt as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. 

Investments

USCF Investments, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that USCF Investments manages. USCF Investments classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2023, USCF Investments held investment positions in three of its 40 Act funds, GLDX, ZSB and USE of $1.3 million, $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 USCF Investments had a $1.3 million position in GLDX. These investments along with other investments, as applicable, are described further in Note 7 to our Financial Statements.

Dividends

Our strategy on dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained earnings and only when our Board of Directors deems it prudent and in the best interests of the Company to declare and pay dividends. We paid no dividends during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2023, and as of September 25, 2023, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we have:

● An obligation under a guarantee contract,

● A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets,

● An obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Marygold Companies, Inc. and
Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Marygold Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as "the consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee of the Board of Directors and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Description of the Matter

As described in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, of the consolidated financial statements, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries. The Company discloses the legal proceedings and that no accrual has been recorded with respect to them as of June 30, 2023. The Company further discloses that it is currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of possible losses resulting from these matters, and that it is reasonably possible that this estimate will change in the near term. The Company discloses that an adverse outcome regarding these matters could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Auditing the Company's accounting for, and disclosure of, loss contingencies related to the various legal proceedings was especially challenging due to the significant judgement required to evaluate management's assessment of the likelihood of a loss, and of the potential amount or range of such loss.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

To test the Company's assessment of the probability of incurrence of a loss, whether the loss was reasonably estimable, and the conclusion and disclosures regarding any range of possible losses, including when the Company believes such a range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we read the minutes or a summary of the meetings of the Board of Directors, requested and received internal and external legal counsel confirmations letters, discussed with legal counsel the nature of the various matters and obtained representations from management. We also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosures included in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor, accounts in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation up to CD$100,000 per depositor and accounts in the United Kingdom are insured by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000. Accounts in New Zealand are uninsured. The Company has, at times, held deposits in excess of insured amounts, but the Company does not expect any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable, net and Accounts Receivable - Related Parties

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Brigadier, Gourmet Foods, and Original Sprout businesses. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine whether or not an account should be deemed uncollectible. Reserves, if any, are recorded on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,427 and $4,350, respectively, reserved for doubtful accounts.

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the USCF Investments business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

Major Customers and Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

The Marygold Companies, as a holding company, operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and has no concentration of risk either from customers or suppliers as a stand-alone entity. Marygold, as a newly formed development stage entity, had not commenced operations for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Any transactions that did occur were combined with those of The Marygold Companies. Marygold UK began operations through its newly acquired subsidiary, Tiger, on June 20, 2022 and had no significant transactions for the year ended June 30, 2022.

For our subsidiary, USCF Investments, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated 12-month revenues and accounts receivable – related parties as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 as depicted below.

The Marygold Companies, through Gourmet Foods, 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.

F- 8

 

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, 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 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.

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, however another customer accounted for 27% of total Brigadier accounts receivable as of  June 30, 2023 and 0% as of June 30, 2022.

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.

The Marygold Companies, through 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 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.

The Marygold Companies, 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.

The Marygold Companies, through Marygold UK and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tiger Financial and Asset Management ("Tiger"), identifies its concentration of risk as the reliance on a relatively small number of clients to continue their relationship with Tiger as their investment advisor. Tiger acts as an investment advisor and financial planner to its clients and has two principal revenue streams which comprise ongoing fees for providing investment advice, and commissions for the intermediation of insurance-based products. Approximately 61% of revenues are derived from fees earned from ongoing (recurring) investment advice as compared to 39% derived from ongoing (recurring) commissions received for intermediating insurance-based products. Tiger does not provide investment management services directly, rather the clients’ assets are referred to third party investment managers, primarily discretionary investment managers, and Tiger receives fees for the ongoing advice and financial planning services which are charged as a percentage of the assets under management. Should the relationship with the current investment manager come to an end, management is confident that a similar arrangement can be easily made with alternative investment managers. Tiger advises approximately 50 families/clients who collectively account for approximately $40 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. Many of these clients have been awarded settlements relating to personal injuries and therefore the underlying advice is often over long-time horizons. One client accounted for 33% of the total revenue and assets under management for Tiger for the year ended June 30, 2023. Marygold UK is seeking to further diversify its client base through ongoing outreach initiatives and, in the long term, add to its revenue streams through the development of the Marygold fintech app.

Inventories, consisting primarily of; (i) food products, printing supplies, and packaging in New Zealand, (ii) hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S., (iii) security system hardware in Canada, and (iv) printed debit cards and wearables at Marygold are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories in Canada and New Zealand are maintained on the first-in, first-out method, while inventory in the U.S is maintained using the average cost method. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. An assessment is made at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine what slow-moving inventory items, if any, should be deemed obsolete and written down to their estimated net realizable value. For the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $2,698 and $10,509, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Category	Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Building		39
Plant and equipment:		5 to 10
Furniture and office equipment		3 to 5
Vehicles		3 to 5

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists along with the internally developed software in process for the business applications of Marygold which launched in the latter part of June 2023, and the U.K. regulatory certification acquired by Marygold UK in the Tiger purchase transaction. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When it is determined that an indefinite intangible asset is impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination transaction. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative test to determine if goodwill is impaired at a reporting unit. In performing this test, the Company evaluates macroeconomic factors, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as the increase in the cost of materials or labor or other costs, overall financial performance, changes in key personnel or customers or strategy, and other entity-specific events or trends that could indicate impairment, among other items. If the results of this test indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting is below its carrying value, a quantitative test is then performed to determine the amount of the impairment. When impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Equity securities included in short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and debt securities are classified as trading securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) which is included as part of other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds in the United States and in the United Kingdom primarily based on assets under management ("AUM"), sales of gourmet meat pies and printing of food wrappers in New Zealand, sales of security alarm system installation and maintenance services in Canada, and sales of hair and skin care products internationally. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, and trade discounts. The performance obligation is satisfied when the product has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, the revenue recognition criteria described below are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management services are provided. For our Brigadier subsidiary in Canada, the Company operates under contract with an alarm monitoring company that pays a percentage of its recurring monitoring fee to Brigadier in exchange for continued customer service and support functions with respect to each customer maintained under contract by the monitoring company. The Company has no costs of contracts which require capitalization. The Company's only contract assets are accounts receivable, net, and accounts receivable - related parties. The Company has no contract liabilities other than deposits received periodically which are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company generates revenue, in part, through contractual monthly recurring fees received for providing ongoing customer support services to monitoring company clientele. The five-step process governing contract revenue reporting includes:

1. Identifying the contract(s) with customers

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied

Transactions involve security systems that are sold outright to the customer where the Company's performance obligations include customer support services and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete, and is reflected as security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenue associated with customer support services is recognized as those services are provided, and is included as a component of security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $312,177 and $399,322, or approximately 12% and 16%, respectively, of the total security system revenues. These revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 accounted for approximately 1% of total consolidated revenues. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company generate revenues from long-term contracts.

F- 11

 

Because the Company has no contract with the end user, and the monthly payments for customer support services are made to the Company by the monitoring company who has a contract with the end user, and end user customers are subject to cancellation through no control of the Company; therefore, no deferred revenues or contingent liability reserves have been established with respect to these contracts. The services are deemed delivered as the obligation is acknowledged on a monthly basis.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of income.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Foreign Currency Translation

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency, and the accounts of Marygold UK use the Great Britain pound as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business Combinations

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Board Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, and ASU 2019-11, which replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and require a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (as amended by ASU 2019-10), including interim periods within that annual period. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will lead to changes in disclosures as well as insignificant changes related to the period of recognition of losses on its receivables. 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The amendment is meant to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in subtopic 470-20 for convertible instruments. The amendment also changed the method used to calculate diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for convertible instruments and for instruments that may be settled in cash. The amendment is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods for those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures given its current and anticipated operations.

NOTE 3. BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This calculation includes the weighted average number of Series B Convertible Preferred shares outstanding also, as they are deemed to be substantially similar to the common shares and shareholders are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. As of June 30, 2023 for were 281,696 common stock equivalents which were anti-dilutive. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any options or warrants or other dilutive financial instruments. As such, basic and diluted earnings per share were the same. 

Basic and diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares actually potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	Year Ended June 30, 2023
	Net Income		Shares		Per Share
Basic income per share:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	1,136,540		39,383,459	$	0.03

INTERNALLY DEVELOPED SOFTWARE

During the first quarter of 2020, Marygold began incurring expenses in connection with the internal development of software applications that are planned for eventual integration to its consumer Fintech offering. Certain of these expenses, totaling $217,990 as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, have been capitalized as intangible assets. Once development has been completed and the product is commercially viable, these capitalized costs will be amortized over their useful lives. As of June 30, 2023, no amortization expense has been recorded for these intangible assets.

AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

The total amortization expense for intangible assets for the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $378,926 and $317,675, respectively.

Estimated amortization expenses of intangible assets for the next five years ending June 30, are as follows:

Years Ending June 30,	Expense
2024	$	361,226

Investments

USCF Investments, from time to time, provides initial seed capital in connection with the creation of ETPs or ETFs that are managed by USCF or USCF Advisers. USCF Investments classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year of the balance sheet date. Investments in which no controlling financial interest or significant influence exists are recorded at fair value with the change included in earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Investments in which no controlling financial interest exists, but significant influence exists are recorded per the equity method of investment accounting unless the fair value option is elected under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, Fair Value Option. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30 2022, the Company owned $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of the USCF Gold Strategy Plus Income Fund ("GLDX"), $1.9 million of the USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund ("ZSB") as of June 30, 2023, launched in January 2023 and $2.6 million of the USCF Energy Commodity Strategy Absolute Return Fund ("USE") as of June 30, 2023, launched in May 2023. These three funds are related parties managed by USCF Advisers, which are included in other equities in the below table. The Company elected the fair value option related to this investment as the shares were purchased and will be sold on the market and this accounting treatment is deemed to be most informative. In addition to the holdings in GLDX, ZSB and USE, the Company also invests in marketable securities. The Company recognized unrealized (losses) gains of ($126) thousand and $33 thousand  for years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate of such investments were approximately $11.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock Issued in Underwritten Offering

On March 9, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to the Company’s upsized underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,650,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261522), previously filed with Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and subsequently declared effective by the SEC on March 9, 2022.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the public offering price was $2.00 per Share (the "Offering Price"), and the Underwriter purchased the Shares at a 7.0% discount to the public Offering Price. The Company granted the Underwriter the option to purchase, within 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, an additional 247,500 shares of Common Stock at the same price per share as the Shares (the “Over-Allotment Option”), which the Underwriter exercised in full on March 11, 2022. Maxim Group LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the Offering.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and related “lock-up” agreements, the Company, each director and executive officer of the Company and certain significant stockholders of the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, for a 180-day period, subject to certain limitations therein.

In exchange for the Underwriter's services, the Company agreed to (i) sell the Common Stock to the Underwriter at a purchase price of $1.86 per share of Common Stock, reflecting the underwriting discount of 7%, and (ii) issue the Underwriter (or its designees) the Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering, along with associated registration rights (the "Underwriter's Warrants").

F- 18

 

On March 14, 2022, the Offering closed resulting in the Company selling a total of 1,897,500 shares of common stock, including 247,500 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $3,795,000 before underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses which totaled $265,650 and $545,090, respectively. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On March 14, 2022, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued the Underwriter's Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 82,500 shares of Common Stock as compensation for their services related to this issuance. The Underwriter's Warrants may be exercised beginning on September 14, 2022, until March 14, 2027. The initial exercise price of each Warrant is $2.40 per share, which represents 120% of the Offering Price. The total fair value of the warrants granted to the Underwriter was $132,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 2.10%, expected life of 5 years, dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 117%. As the warrant issuance was for services rendered related to an equity issuance, no expense was recognized for the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 related to the issuance.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has 50,000,000 shares authorized to issue as Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is designated into two series, 5,000,000 designated as Series A, and 45,000,000 designated as Series B. As of June 30, 2023 there are no issued or outstanding shares of Series A stock.

Each issued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 20 shares of common stock and carries a vote of 20 shares of common stock in all matters brought before the shareholders for a vote. On January 15, 2021, the Company converted 3,672 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to 73,440 shares of common stock per the request of the shareholder and pursuant to the stock designation. There are 49,360 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

In August 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan ("the Equity Plan") which provides for the grant of stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSA") and restricted stock units ("RSU"), to employees and non-employees. A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 4,441,267 are available for future grants as of June 30, 2023. 

The fair value of stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized as compensation on a straight-line basis between the date of grant and the date the options become fully vested. During the year ended June 30, 2023 the Company granted 270,000 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.59 per share. No stock options were granted during the year ended June 30, 2022. Stock options issued have terms of ten years. The fair value of the options granted were estimated  using the following assumptions:

	For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Expected volatility		191% - 197%
Expected term	6.6 years
Risk-Free interest rate		3.5% - 3.7%
Weighted-average fair value per share of grants	$	1.59
Expected dividend yield		0	%

The following table summarizes the stock option activities for the Company's Equity Plan for year June 30, 2023.

	Options Outstanding as of June 30, 2023
	Outstanding Stock Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of July 1, 2022		-	$	-
Granted		270,000	$	1.61
Exercised		-	$	-
Forfeited		-	$	-

Exercisable as of June 30, 2023		-	$	-			$	-

The fair value of these options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $428,300 using the assumptions note above. The estimated aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable as of June 30, 2023 was $0. Stock-based compensation relating to stock options totaled $48,229 and $0 for the years ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2023, there was a total of $380,071 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options that will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 3.6 years.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock activities for the Company's Equity Plan for year June 30, 2023.

	Restricted Stock Outstanding as of June 30, 2023
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of July 1, 2022		-	$	-
Granted		288,733	$	1.36
Vested		-	$	-
Forfeited		-	$	-
Nonvested as of June 30, 2023		288,733	$	1.36
Expected to vest		288,733

The fair value of RSA's is recognized as compensation on a straight-line basis between the date of grant and the date the RSA's become fully vested. The fair value of RSA's is estimated on the grant date based on the closing quoted market price of the Company's stock and generally vest over a period of a 4 year period following issuance date, subject to continued service.

During year ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 288,733 RSA's with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.36 per share and a total fair value at date of grant of $394,000. No RSA's were granted in the year ended June 30, 2022. The intrinsic value of the RSA's was $314,719 as of June 30, 2023. Stock-based compensation relating to RSA's totaled $35,288 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2023, there was $358,712 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSA's that will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 3.2 years. Holders of RSA's generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares of common stock granted to the holder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares. However, all cash and stock dividends and distributions shall be held back by the Company for the holder's account until such time as the related portion of the restricted stock award vests (at which time such dividends or distributions, as applicable, shall be released and paid). The Company does not consider the shares of common stock associated with the RSA's to be issued and outstanding until vesting occurs.

The aggregate expected stock-based compensation remaining to be recognized as of June 30, 2023 was as follows:

Fiscal Period
Fiscal 2024	$	182,919
Fiscal 2025		217,798
Fiscal 2026		253,875
Fiscal 2027		83,280
Fiscal 2028		911
Total stock-based compensation	$	738,783

The aggregate expected stock-based compensation expense remaining to be recognized reflects only awards as of June 30, 2023 and assumes no forfeiture activity and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.4 years.

There were no shares issued for vendor services during the years ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses; the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible.  At present, the Company does believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance was unchanged during the year ended  June 30, 2023.

On March 27, 2020 the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act). The Company has evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and determined that it did not result in a significant impact on the Company’s tax provision.

Income tax expense for the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% to pretax income as a result of the following:

	Years Ended June 30,
	2023			2022

Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which includes interest and penalties, for the years ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Balance at June 30, 2022	$	314,932
Additions based on tax positions taken during a prior period		12,597
Reductions based on tax positions taken during a prior period		-
Additions based on tax positions taken during the current period		-
Reductions based on tax positions taken during the current period		-
Reductions related to settlement of tax matters		-
Reductions related to a lapse of applicable statute of limitations		-
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	327,530

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The federal, state and foreign income tax returns are subject to tax examinations for the tax years 2019 through 2022 as of year ended June 30, 2023. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carry forwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, state or foreign tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period.  There were no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities as of June 30, 2023.

The Company had $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate.  The Company does not anticipate a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits in the year ended June 30, 2023.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company accrued and recognized as a liability $75,584 and $62,297, respectively, of interest and related penalties to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued expenses, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. For the majority of its leases, the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that any renewal options would be exercised, and, therefore, the amounts are not recognized as part of operating lease right-of-use assets nor operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and expensed as incurred and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company's most significant operating leases are real estate leases of office, warehouse and production facilities. The remaining operating leases are primarily comprised of leases of printers and other equipment which are deemed insignificant. For all operating leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitted under Topic 842 to combine lease and non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components, such as common area or equipment maintenance charges, are accounted for as a single lease element.

The Company has one finance lease wherein ownership of the underlying asset will be transferred to the Company at the end of the lease term. The underlying asset of the finance lease is a solar energy system at our Gourmet Foods subsidiary in New Zealand that is included with property, plant and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fixed lease expense payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, and common area maintenance. Variable payments are deemed immaterial, expensed as incurred, and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense.

F- 23

 

The Company leases various facilities and offices throughout the world including the following subsidiary locations:

Gourmet Foods has operating leases for its office, factory and warehouse facilities located in Tauranga, New Zealand, and facilities leased by its subsidiary, Printstock, in Napier, New Zealand, as well as for certain equipment including printers and copiers. These leases are generally for three-year terms, with some options to renew for an additional term. The leases mature between October 2022 and October 2026, and require monthly rental payments of approximately $23,254 (GST not included) translated to U.S. currency as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, Gourmet Foods has one finance lease for its solar energy system that ends in December 2031 at the monthly rate (GST not included) of approximately US$1,610 translated as of June 30, 2023. Brigadier leases office and storage facilities in Regina, Saskatchewan. The minimum lease obligations for the Regina facility require monthly payments of approximately US$2,489 translated to U.S. currency as of June 30, 2023. Original Sprout currently leases office and warehouse space in San Clemente, CA with 3-year facility lease expiring on November 30, 2023. Minimum monthly lease payments of approximately $23,625 commenced December 1, 2021 with annual increases. USCF Investments leases office space in Walnut Creek, California under an operating lease which expires in December 2023. Minimum monthly lease payments are approximately $13,455 with increases annually.

For years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the combined lease costs, including insignificant variable and short-term lease costs, of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled $815,699 and $824,196, respectively, and recorded under general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2023 the Consolidated Balance Sheets included operating lease right-of-use assets totaling $821,021, recorded net of $16,823 in deferred rent, and $837,844 in total operating lease liabilities.

Future minimum consolidated lease payments for The Marygold Companies and its subsidiaries are as follows:

Year Ended June 30,	Lease Amount			Finance Lease
2024	$	528,365		$	19,208
2025		226,713			19,208
2026		177,108			19,208
2027		56,188			19,208
2028		-			19,208
Thereafter		-			65,626
Total minimum lease payments		988,374			161,666
Less: present value discount		(150,530	)		(43,890	)
Total operating lease liabilities	$	837,844		$	117,776

The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 2.91 years as of June 30, 2023 and a weighted-average discount rate of 5.49% was used to determine the total operating lease liabilities. The remaining lease term for the Company's finance lease was 8.4 years as of June 30, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 6.99% and a present value discount of 27%. 

Additionally, Gourmet Foods entered into a General Security Agreement in favor of the Gerald O'Leary Family Trust and registered on the Personal Property Securities Register for a priority sum of NZ$110,000 (approximately US$67,152) to secure the lease of its primary facility. In addition, a NZ$20,000 (approximately US$12,209) bond has been posted through ANZ Bank and secured with a cash deposit of equal amount to secure a separate facilities lease. The General Security Agreement and the cash deposit will remain until such time as the respective leases are satisfactorily terminated in accordance with their terms. Interest from the cash deposit securing the lease accumulates to the benefit of Gourmet Foods and is listed as a component of interest income/expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Agreements and Commitments  

USCF manages four Funds (BNO, CPER, UGA, UNL) which had expense waiver provisions during the prior fiscal year, whereby USCF reimbursed funds when fund expenditure levels exceed certain threshold amounts. Effective May 1, 2021 USCF discontinued expense waiver reimbursements for BNO, CPER and UGA with only UNL continuing. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 the expense waiver payable was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. USCF has no obligation to continue such payments for UNL into subsequent periods.

As Marygold builds out its application, it enters into agreements with various service providers. As of June 30, 2023, Marygold has future payment commitments with its primary service vendors totaling $1.7 million including approximately $1.3 million due in fiscal 2024 and $0.4 million due in fiscal 2025.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings arising primarily from the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Except as described below, there are no pending legal proceedings against the Company. USCF is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. USCF, as the general partner of the United States Oil Fund, LP ("USO") and the general partner and sponsor of the related public funds may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. Except as described herein, USO and USCF are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

Settlement of SEC and CFTC Investigations

On November 8, 2021, USCF and USO announced a resolution with each of the SEC and the CFTC relating to matters set forth in certain Wells Notices issued by the staffs of each of the SEC and CFTC as more fully described below.

On August 17, 2020, USCF, USO, and John Love received a "Wells Notice" from the staff of the SEC (the "SEC Wells Notice"). The SEC Wells Notice stated that the SEC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Subsequently, on August 19, 2020, USCF, USO, and Mr. Love received a Wells Notice from the staff of the CFTC (the "CFTC Wells Notice"). The CFTC Wells Notice stated that the CFTC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the CFTC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 4o(1)(A) and (B) and 6(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "CEA"), 7 U.S.C. §§ 6o(1)(A) and (B) and 9(1) (2018), and CFTC Regulations 4.26, 4.41, and 180.1(a), 17 C.F.R. §§ 4.26, 4.41, 180.1(a) (2019).

On November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF and USO, the SEC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act, directing USCF and USO to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77q(a)(3) (the SEC Order). In the SEC Order, the SEC made findings that, from April 24, 2020 to May 21, 2020, USCF and USO violated Section 17(a)(3) of 1933 Act, which provides that it is "unlawful for any person in the offer or sale of any securities to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the purchaser." USCF and USO consented to entry of the SEC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Separately, on November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF, the CFTC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 6(c) and (d) of the CEA, directing USCF to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, 7 U.S.C. § 6o(1)(B), and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), 17 C.F.R. § 4.41(a)(2) (the "CFTC Order"). In the CFTC Order, the CFTC made findings that, from on or about April 22, 2020 to June 12, 2020, USCF violated Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), which make it unlawful for any commodity pool operator ("CPO") to engage in "any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant" and prohibit a CPO from advertising in a manner which "operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant," respectively. USCF consented to entry of the CFTC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Pursuant to the SEC Order and the CFTC Order, in addition to the command to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, and CFTC Regulation 4.14(a)(2), civil monetary penalties totaling two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) in the aggregate were required to be paid to the SEC and CFTC, of which one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) was paid by USCF to each of the SEC and the CFTC, respectively, pursuant to the offsets permitted under the orders.

In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation

On June 19, 2020, USCF, USO, John P. Love, and Stuart P. Crumbaugh were named as defendants in a putative class action filed by purported shareholder Robert Lucas (the "Lucas Class Action"). The Court thereafter consolidated the Lucas Class Action with two related putative class actions filed on July 31, 2020 and August 13, 2020, and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04740.

On November 30, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the "Amended Lucas Class Complaint"). The Amended Lucas Class Complaint asserts claims under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint challenges statements in registration statements that became effective on February 25, 2020 and March 23, 2020 as well as subsequent public statements through April 2020 concerning certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint purports to have been brought by an investor in USO on behalf of a class of similarly-situated shareholders who purchased USO securities between February 25, 2020 and April 28, 2020 and pursuant to the challenged registration statements. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint seeks to certify a class and to award the class compensatory damages at an amount to be determined at trial as well as costs and attorney's fees. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint named as defendants USCF, USO, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes III, as well as the marketing agent, ALPS Distributors, Inc., and the Authorized Participants: ABN Amro, BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Company, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Company Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Virtu Financial BD LLC.

F- 25

 

The lead plaintiff has filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its claims against BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Company, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC.

USCF, USO, and the individual defendants in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation intend to vigorously contest such claims and have moved for their dismissal. No accrual has been recorded with respect to the above legal matters as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of, possible losses resulting from these matters. It is reasonably possible that this estimate will change in the near term. An adverse outcome regarding these matters could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Mehan Action

On August 10, 2020, purported shareholder Darshan Mehan filed a derivative action on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes, III (the "Mehan Action"). The action is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda as Case No. RG20070732.

The Mehan Action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to USO and failed to act in good faith in connection with a March 19, 2020 registration statement and offering and disclosures regarding certain extraordinary market conditions that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. All proceedings in the Mehan Action are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest such claims.

In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation

On August 27, 2020, purported shareholders Michael Cantrell and AML Pharm. Inc. DBA Golden International filed two separate derivative actions on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Andrew F Ngim, Gordon L. Ellis, Malcolm R. Fobes, III, Nicholas D. Gerber, Robert L. Nguyen, and Peter M. Robinson in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York at Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 (the "Cantrell Action") and Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06981 (the "AML Action"), respectively.

The complaints in the Cantrell and AML Actions are nearly identical. They each allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 21D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and common law claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. These allegations stem from USO's disclosures and defendants' alleged actions in light of the extraordinary market conditions in 2020 that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaints seek, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. The plaintiffs in the Cantrell and AML Actions have marked their actions as related to the Lucas Class Action.

F- 26

 

The Court consolidated the Cantrell and AML Actions under the caption In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 and appointed co-lead counsel. All proceedings in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest the claims in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation.

Optimum Strategies Action

On April 6, 2022, USO and USCF were named as defendants in an action filed by Optimum Strategies Fund I, LP, a purported investor in call option contracts on USO (the "Optimum Strategies Action"). The action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut at Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-00511.

The Optimum Strategies Action asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act ("CUSA"). It purports to challenge statements in registration statements that became effective in February 2020, March 2020, and on April 20, 2020, as well as public statements between February 2020 and May 2020, in connection with certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks damages, interest, costs, attorney's fees, and equitable relief.

On March 15, 2023, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. In its ruling, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss, with prejudice, the plaintiff's claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and a claim for control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Having dismissed all claims over which the court had original jurisdiction, the court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the plaintiff's state law claim under CUSA and dismissed the claim without prejudice. No notice of appeal was filed.

No accrual has been recorded with respect to the above legal matters as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of, possible losses resulting from these matters. It is reasonably possible that this estimate will change in the near term. An adverse outcome regarding these matters could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Other Contingencies

On December 2, 2021, Marygold became aware of certain activity indicative of potential fraud on its Fintech platform, which was still in beta testing stage of development, and associated with the opening of end-customer accounts. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K filing, Marygold estimates that approximately 80 end-customer accounts were opened fraudulently that resulted in approximately $103,000 being misappropriated. Upon learning of this activity, Marygold removed its app from all App Stores including, Apple and Android, to prevent any fraudulent activity through opening of new accounts created on its platform. Marygold further believes that no personal identifiable information was compromised. Marygold continues to monitor the security measures of its Fintech platform while continuing development. The accrual of approximately $250,000 was recorded through other income (expense) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and was reduced by approximately $147,000 later in the year ended June 30, 2022 as the total amount of the estimated loss decreased resulting in an actual loss of approximately $103,000. 

Retirement Plan

The Marygold Companies, through its wholly-owned subsidiary USCF, has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("401K Plan") covering U.S. employees, including Original Sprout and Marygold, who are over 21 years of age and who have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of service and have worked for the respective Marygold Companies subsidiary for at least three months. Participants may make contributions pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. In addition, the 401K Plan makes a safe harbor matching contribution. Quarterly profit-sharing contributions paid totaled approximately $208 thousand and $169 thousand for each of the years ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING

With the acquisition of USCF Investments, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier, Tiger, and the launch of the Original Sprout business unit of Kahnalytics, the Company has identified five segments for its products and services; U.S.A. investment fund management, U.S.A. beauty products, New Zealand food industry and Canada security alarm systems. Our recently incorporated subsidiary, Marygold, has not begun operations, so its accounts have been consolidated with those of the parent, The Marygold Companies, and is not yet identified as a separate segment. Our recently acquired indirect subsidiary, Tiger, had only 9 days of operations during the year ended June 30, 2022 and operating results were nil for the year ended June 30, 2022. The Company's reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. The Company’s operations in the U.S.A. include the manufacture and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products by Original Sprout and the income derived from management of various investment funds by our subsidiary USCF Investments. In New Zealand operations include the production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections, and the printing of specialized food wrappers through our wholly-owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and their subsidiary, Printstock. In Canada, the Company provides security alarm system installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial customers sold through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brigadier. Our subsidiary in the U.K., Marygold UK, earns management fees through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tiger, as an investment advisor and asset manager. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. The Company accounts for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date and presented in US dollars.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this annual report) and provided reasonable assurances that the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the Commission's rules and forms. Further, the Company’s management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our management recognizes its responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Currently, the primary responsibility of the registrant is providing oversight control over its subsidiary operations which, in turn, are managed by their respective boards of directors who are appointed by the registrant for each of the subsidiaries. All debit and credit transactions with the company’s bank accounts, including those of the subsidiary companies, are reviewed by the officers as well as all communications with the company’s creditors. The directors of the subsidiary companies, which include representatives of the Company, meet frequently – as often as weekly – to discuss and review the financial status of the company and all developments. All filings of reports with the Commission are reviewed before filing by all directors.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at the end of its most recent fiscal year, June 30, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2023.

29

Pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 308(b), this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control and Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Controlled Company Status

We are a “controlled company” as defined in section 801(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide, and as such, we are exempt from certain NYSE American rules requiring our Board of Directors to have a majority of independent members, a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors.

The Company may elect in the future to use certain of the controlled company exemptions and the Company may continue to use all or some of these exemptions in the future for so long as the Company is a controlled company. Although we may rely on NYSE American’s controlled company exemptions in the future, we currently have an independent board, nomination and governance committee and compensation committee.

Conflicts of Interest. Our officers and directors who are not employees of our operating subsidiaries will not devote more than a portion of their time to our affairs. There will be occasions when the time requirements of The Marygold Companies’ business conflict with the demands of their other business and investment activities. Such conflicts may require that we attempt to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to the company.

Our officers and directors may be directors or principal shareholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and directors may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to compete directly with The Marygold Companies. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arm's length transactions may also arise in the future in the event our officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which we transact business. In addition, if The Marygold Companies and other companies with which our officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of a potential business opportunity, then our board of directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such company in the order in which such companies registered or became current in the filing of annual reports under the '34 Act.

33

Our officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to our officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to us and our other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of The Marygold Companies and The Marygold Companies’ other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.

No executive officer, director, person nominated to become a director, promoter or control person of The Marygold Companies has been involved in legal proceedings during the last five years such as

● Bankruptcy

● Criminal proceedings (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses), or

● Proceedings permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

● Such person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; or

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Director Independence

For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide. The NYSE American definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Because the Company relies of the “controlled company” exemption, the Company is not subject to certain NYSE American corporate governance requirements and provisions.

The Board has three standing committees; compensation committee, nominating committee, and audit committee.

Related Party Transactions

During our last fiscal year, we did not enter into any transactions with related persons, promoters or certain control persons as covered by Item 404 of Regulation S-K. However, in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement with Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, certain now current executive officers and directors may have formed a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act which may result in related party transactions in the future. These affiliations are disclosed herein.

37

On January 26, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited investors, Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger, (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase approximately 13,333,333 shares of common stock and approximately 108,172 shares of Series B preferred stock of the Company (adjusted for the effect of the 1:10 reverse stock split in December 2015 and the 1:30 reverse stock split in December 2017) in exchange for $3,000,000 USD. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Purchasers acquired a controlling interest in the Company pursuant to the issuance of the above shares which constituted approximately 70.0% of the voting control of the Company. Following the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Mr. Gerber and Schoenberger became officers and directors of the Company.

On April 8, 2016 and May 25, 2016, the Company entered into convertible promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and CEO, that resulted in the funding of $350,000 and with the Schoenberger Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and director, that resulted in the funding of $250,000, respectively. The Promissory Notes bear interest at four percent (4%) per annum and increases to nineteen percent (19%) in the event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the available market rate for long-term deposits at financial institutions as well as the current rate of return realized by the noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage rates of 0.01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4% annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened default risk over traditional investment instruments. There was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes. Both notes were repaid in full on their respective maturity dates, together with accrued interest totaling $84,000 and $60,000 to the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust and the Schoenberger Family Trust, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of USCF Investments on December 9, 2016 the Promissory Notes were subsequently amended to remove the conversion feature. Additionally, as a result of the transaction completed on December 9, 2016, current shareholders of USCF Investments became shareholders of the Company. Prior to the transaction, Mr. Gerber, along with certain family members and certain other USCF Investments shareholders, owned the majority of the common stock in the Company as well as USCF Investments. Following the closing of this transaction, he and those shareholders continue to own the majority of the Company voting shares. Mr. Gerber and Mr. Schoenberger (and the through the control of their respective trusts which hold stock in the Company) entered into a Voting Agreement reflective of a similar Voting Agreement in place for USCF Investments wherein they have agreed to vote in concert with regard to all matters that come before the shareholders or the board of directors for a vote. This Voting Agreement establishes them as a control group.

Any future transactions by and among the parties mentioned above may qualify as related party transactions and will be disclosed accordingly.

We have adopted a policy that any transactions with directors, officers or entities of which they are also officers or directors or in which they have a financial interest, will only be on terms consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors and based upon a determination that these transactions are on terms no less favorable to us than those which could be obtained by unaffiliated third parties. This policy could be terminated in the future. In addition, interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which approves such a transaction.

Our principal independent accountant billed us, for each of the last two fiscal years, the following aggregate fees for its professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q reports or other services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those two fiscal years:

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements”, include the accounts of The Marygold Companies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, USCF Investments, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier, Original Sprout, Marygold and Marygold UK are presented on a consolidated basis.

All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor, accounts in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation up to CD$100,000 per depositor and accounts in the United Kingdom are insured by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000. Accounts in New Zealand are uninsured. The Company has, at times, held deposits in excess of insured amounts, but the Company does not expect any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable, net and Accounts Receivable - Related Parties

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Brigadier, Gourmet Foods, and Original Sprout businesses. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine whether or not an account should be deemed uncollectible. Reserves, if any, are recorded on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,427 and $4,350, respectively, reserved for doubtful accounts.

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the USCF Investments business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

Major Customers and Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

The Marygold Companies, as a holding company, operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and has no concentration of risk either from customers or suppliers as a stand-alone entity. Marygold, as a newly formed development stage entity, had not commenced operations for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Any transactions that did occur were combined with those of The Marygold Companies. Marygold UK began operations through its newly acquired subsidiary, Tiger, on June 20, 2022 and had no significant transactions for the year ended June 30, 2022.

For our subsidiary, USCF Investments, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated 12-month revenues and accounts receivable – related parties as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 as depicted below.

The Marygold Companies, through Gourmet Foods, 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, 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 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.

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, however another customer accounted for 27% of total Brigadier accounts receivable as of  June 30, 2023 and 0% as of June 30, 2022.

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.

The Marygold Companies, through 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 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.

The Marygold Companies, 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.

The Marygold Companies, through Marygold UK and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tiger Financial and Asset Management ("Tiger"), identifies its concentration of risk as the reliance on a relatively small number of clients to continue their relationship with Tiger as their investment advisor. Tiger acts as an investment advisor and financial planner to its clients and has two principal revenue streams which comprise ongoing fees for providing investment advice, and commissions for the intermediation of insurance-based products. Approximately 61% of revenues are derived from fees earned from ongoing (recurring) investment advice as compared to 39% derived from ongoing (recurring) commissions received for intermediating insurance-based products. Tiger does not provide investment management services directly, rather the clients’ assets are referred to third party investment managers, primarily discretionary investment managers, and Tiger receives fees for the ongoing advice and financial planning services which are charged as a percentage of the assets under management. Should the relationship with the current investment manager come to an end, management is confident that a similar arrangement can be easily made with alternative investment managers. Tiger advises approximately 50 families/clients who collectively account for approximately $40 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. Many of these clients have been awarded settlements relating to personal injuries and therefore the underlying advice is often over long-time horizons. One client accounted for 33% of the total revenue and assets under management for Tiger for the year ended June 30, 2023. Marygold UK is seeking to further diversify its client base through ongoing outreach initiatives and, in the long term, add to its revenue streams through the development of the Marygold fintech app.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of; (i) food products, printing supplies, and packaging in New Zealand, (ii) hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S., (iii) security system hardware in Canada, and (iv) printed debit cards and wearables at Marygold are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories in Canada and New Zealand are maintained on the first-in, first-out method, while inventory in the U.S is maintained using the average cost method. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. An assessment is made at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine what slow-moving inventory items, if any, should be deemed obsolete and written down to their estimated net realizable value. For the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $2,698 and $10,509, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Category	Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Building		39
Plant and equipment:		5 to 10
Furniture and office equipment		3 to 5
Vehicles		3 to 5

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists along with the internally developed software in process for the business applications of Marygold which launched in the latter part of June 2023, and the U.K. regulatory certification acquired by Marygold UK in the Tiger purchase transaction. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When it is determined that an indefinite intangible asset is impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination transaction. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative test to determine if goodwill is impaired at a reporting unit. In performing this test, the Company evaluates macroeconomic factors, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as the increase in the cost of materials or labor or other costs, overall financial performance, changes in key personnel or customers or strategy, and other entity-specific events or trends that could indicate impairment, among other items. If the results of this test indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting is below its carrying value, a quantitative test is then performed to determine the amount of the impairment. When impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Equity securities included in short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and debt securities are classified as trading securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) which is included as part of other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds in the United States and in the United Kingdom primarily based on assets under management ("AUM"), sales of gourmet meat pies and printing of food wrappers in New Zealand, sales of security alarm system installation and maintenance services in Canada, and sales of hair and skin care products internationally. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, and trade discounts. The performance obligation is satisfied when the product has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, the revenue recognition criteria described below are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management services are provided. For our Brigadier subsidiary in Canada, the Company operates under contract with an alarm monitoring company that pays a percentage of its recurring monitoring fee to Brigadier in exchange for continued customer service and support functions with respect to each customer maintained under contract by the monitoring company. The Company has no costs of contracts which require capitalization. The Company's only contract assets are accounts receivable, net, and accounts receivable - related parties. The Company has no contract liabilities other than deposits received periodically which are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company generates revenue, in part, through contractual monthly recurring fees received for providing ongoing customer support services to monitoring company clientele. The five-step process governing contract revenue reporting includes:

1. Identifying the contract(s) with customers

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied

Transactions involve security systems that are sold outright to the customer where the Company's performance obligations include customer support services and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete, and is reflected as security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenue associated with customer support services is recognized as those services are provided, and is included as a component of security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $312,177 and $399,322, or approximately 12% and 16%, respectively, of the total security system revenues. These revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 accounted for approximately 1% of total consolidated revenues. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company generate revenues from long-term contracts.

Because the Company has no contract with the end user, and the monthly payments for customer support services are made to the Company by the monitoring company who has a contract with the end user, and end user customers are subject to cancellation through no control of the Company; therefore, no deferred revenues or contingent liability reserves have been established with respect to these contracts. The services are deemed delivered as the obligation is acknowledged on a monthly basis.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of income.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Foreign Currency Translation

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency, and the accounts of Marygold UK use the Great Britain pound as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business Combinations

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Board Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, and ASU 2019-11, which replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and require a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (as amended by ASU 2019-10), including interim periods within that annual period. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will lead to changes in disclosures as well as insignificant changes related to the period of recognition of losses on its receivables. 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The amendment is meant to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in subtopic 470-20 for convertible instruments. The amendment also changed the method used to calculate diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for convertible instruments and for instruments that may be settled in cash. The amendment is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods for those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures given its current and anticipated operations.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

NOTE 3. BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This calculation includes the weighted average number of Series B Convertible Preferred shares outstanding also, as they are deemed to be substantially similar to the common shares and shareholders are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. As of June 30, 2023 for were 281,696 common stock equivalents which were anti-dilutive. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any options or warrants or other dilutive financial instruments. As such, basic and diluted earnings per share were the same. 

Basic and diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares actually potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

BRAND NAME

On August 11, 2015, the Company acquired Gourmet Foods. The fair value on the acquired brand name was estimated to be $61,429 and is amortized over the remaining useful life of 10 years. On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired Brigadier Security Systems. The fair value on the acquired brand name was estimated to be $340,694 and is amortized over the remaining useful life of 10 years. On December 18, 2017 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kahnalytics, Inc., acquired the assets of Original Sprout LLC. The fair value of the acquired brand name was determined to be $740,000 and is considered to have an indefinite life. That brand name will continue to be associated with the product offering unless and until such time in the future as the Company may elect to discontinue the use of the brand and move towards establishment of an alternative product offering. On July 1, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, acquired Printstock Products Limited. The fair value of the brand name was determined to be $57,842 and, like that of Original Sprout, would continue to stay in use for an indefinite period of time. Therefore, the Company will test for impairment of the brand names "Original Sprout" and "Printstock" at each reporting interval with no amortization recognized. On June 20, 2022 our wholly-owned subsidiary, Marygold UK, acquired Tiger Financial and Asset Management Limited. The fair value of the acquired trade name, $24,456, together with is regulatory business certification, $73,368, totaled $97,824 and, like those of Printstock and Original Sprout, would continue to stay in use for an indefinite period of time. Therefore, the Company will test for impairment at each reporting interval with no amortization recognized.

Equity [Text Block]

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock Issued in Underwritten Offering

On March 9, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to the Company’s upsized underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,650,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261522), previously filed with Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and subsequently declared effective by the SEC on March 9, 2022.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the public offering price was $2.00 per Share (the "Offering Price"), and the Underwriter purchased the Shares at a 7.0% discount to the public Offering Price. The Company granted the Underwriter the option to purchase, within 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, an additional 247,500 shares of Common Stock at the same price per share as the Shares (the “Over-Allotment Option”), which the Underwriter exercised in full on March 11, 2022. Maxim Group LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the Offering.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and related “lock-up” agreements, the Company, each director and executive officer of the Company and certain significant stockholders of the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, for a 180-day period, subject to certain limitations therein.

In exchange for the Underwriter's services, the Company agreed to (i) sell the Common Stock to the Underwriter at a purchase price of $1.86 per share of Common Stock, reflecting the underwriting discount of 7%, and (ii) issue the Underwriter (or its designees) the Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering, along with associated registration rights (the "Underwriter's Warrants").

On March 14, 2022, the Offering closed resulting in the Company selling a total of 1,897,500 shares of common stock, including 247,500 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $3,795,000 before underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses which totaled $265,650 and $545,090, respectively. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On March 14, 2022, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued the Underwriter's Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 82,500 shares of Common Stock as compensation for their services related to this issuance. The Underwriter's Warrants may be exercised beginning on September 14, 2022, until March 14, 2027. The initial exercise price of each Warrant is $2.40 per share, which represents 120% of the Offering Price. The total fair value of the warrants granted to the Underwriter was $132,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 2.10%, expected life of 5 years, dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 117%. As the warrant issuance was for services rendered related to an equity issuance, no expense was recognized for the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 related to the issuance.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has 50,000,000 shares authorized to issue as Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is designated into two series, 5,000,000 designated as Series A, and 45,000,000 designated as Series B. As of June 30, 2023 there are no issued or outstanding shares of Series A stock.

Each issued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 20 shares of common stock and carries a vote of 20 shares of common stock in all matters brought before the shareholders for a vote. On January 15, 2021, the Company converted 3,672 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to 73,440 shares of common stock per the request of the shareholder and pursuant to the stock designation. There are 49,360 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

In August 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan ("the Equity Plan") which provides for the grant of stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSA") and restricted stock units ("RSU"), to employees and non-employees. A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 4,441,267 are available for future grants as of June 30, 2023. 

The fair value of stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized as compensation on a straight-line basis between the date of grant and the date the options become fully vested. During the year ended June 30, 2023 the Company granted 270,000 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.59 per share. No stock options were granted during the year ended June 30, 2022. Stock options issued have terms of ten years. The fair value of the options granted were estimated  using the following assumptions:

	For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Expected volatility		191% - 197%
Expected term	6.6 years
Risk-Free interest rate		3.5% - 3.7%
Weighted-average fair value per share of grants	$	1.59
Expected dividend yield		0	%

The following table summarizes the stock option activities for the Company's Equity Plan for year June 30, 2023.

	Options Outstanding as of June 30, 2023
	Outstanding Stock Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Exercisable as of June 30, 2023		-	$	-			$	-

The fair value of these options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $428,300 using the assumptions note above. The estimated aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable as of June 30, 2023 was $0. Stock-based compensation relating to stock options totaled $48,229 and $0 for the years ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2023, there was a total of $380,071 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options that will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 3.6 years.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock activities for the Company's Equity Plan for year June 30, 2023.

	Restricted Stock Outstanding as of June 30, 2023
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Forfeited		-	$	-
Nonvested as of June 30, 2023		288,733	$	1.36
Expected to vest		288,733

The fair value of RSA's is recognized as compensation on a straight-line basis between the date of grant and the date the RSA's become fully vested. The fair value of RSA's is estimated on the grant date based on the closing quoted market price of the Company's stock and generally vest over a period of a 4 year period following issuance date, subject to continued service.

During year ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 288,733 RSA's with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.36 per share and a total fair value at date of grant of $394,000. No RSA's were granted in the year ended June 30, 2022. The intrinsic value of the RSA's was $314,719 as of June 30, 2023. Stock-based compensation relating to RSA's totaled $35,288 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2023, there was $358,712 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSA's that will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 3.2 years. Holders of RSA's generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares of common stock granted to the holder, including the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares. However, all cash and stock dividends and distributions shall be held back by the Company for the holder's account until such time as the related portion of the restricted stock award vests (at which time such dividends or distributions, as applicable, shall be released and paid). The Company does not consider the shares of common stock associated with the RSA's to be issued and outstanding until vesting occurs.

The aggregate expected stock-based compensation remaining to be recognized as of June 30, 2023 was as follows:

Fiscal Period
Fiscal 2024	$	182,919
Fiscal 2025		217,798
Fiscal 2026		253,875
Fiscal 2027		83,280
Fiscal 2028		911
Total stock-based compensation	$	738,783

The aggregate expected stock-based compensation expense remaining to be recognized reflects only awards as of June 30, 2023 and assumes no forfeiture activity and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.4 years.

There were no shares issued for vendor services during the years ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses; the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible.  At present, the Company does believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance was unchanged during the year ended  June 30, 2023.

On March 27, 2020 the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act). The Company has evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and determined that it did not result in a significant impact on the Company’s tax provision.

Income tax expense for the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% to pretax income as a result of the following:

	Years Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Federal tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate	$	334,950		$	495,287
State income taxes		62,567			201,369
Permanent differences		73,142			371,987

Foreign rate differential		0.96	%		8.57	%
Foreign tax credit		(3.58	)%		(2.48	)%
Change in valuation allowance		0	%		0	%
Total tax expense		26.89	%		56.23	%

* Substantially all of the permanent differences in during the year ended June 30, 2023 related to the $2,500,000 legal settlement being permanently nondeductible for income taxes.

Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which includes interest and penalties, for the years ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Balance at June 30, 2022	$	314,932
Additions based on tax positions taken during a prior period		12,597
Reductions based on tax positions taken during a prior period		-
Additions based on tax positions taken during the current period		-
Reductions based on tax positions taken during the current period		-
Reductions related to settlement of tax matters		-
Reductions related to a lapse of applicable statute of limitations		-
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	327,530

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The federal, state and foreign income tax returns are subject to tax examinations for the tax years 2019 through 2022 as of year ended June 30, 2023. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carry forwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, state or foreign tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period.  There were no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities as of June 30, 2023.

The Company had $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate.  The Company does not anticipate a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits in the year ended June 30, 2023.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company accrued and recognized as a liability $75,584 and $62,297, respectively, of interest and related penalties to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued expenses, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. For the majority of its leases, the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that any renewal options would be exercised, and, therefore, the amounts are not recognized as part of operating lease right-of-use assets nor operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and expensed as incurred and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company's most significant operating leases are real estate leases of office, warehouse and production facilities. The remaining operating leases are primarily comprised of leases of printers and other equipment which are deemed insignificant. For all operating leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitted under Topic 842 to combine lease and non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components, such as common area or equipment maintenance charges, are accounted for as a single lease element.

The Company has one finance lease wherein ownership of the underlying asset will be transferred to the Company at the end of the lease term. The underlying asset of the finance lease is a solar energy system at our Gourmet Foods subsidiary in New Zealand that is included with property, plant and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fixed lease expense payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, and common area maintenance. Variable payments are deemed immaterial, expensed as incurred, and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense.

The Company leases various facilities and offices throughout the world including the following subsidiary locations:

Gourmet Foods has operating leases for its office, factory and warehouse facilities located in Tauranga, New Zealand, and facilities leased by its subsidiary, Printstock, in Napier, New Zealand, as well as for certain equipment including printers and copiers. These leases are generally for three-year terms, with some options to renew for an additional term. The leases mature between October 2022 and October 2026, and require monthly rental payments of approximately $23,254 (GST not included) translated to U.S. currency as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, Gourmet Foods has one finance lease for its solar energy system that ends in December 2031 at the monthly rate (GST not included) of approximately US$1,610 translated as of June 30, 2023. Brigadier leases office and storage facilities in Regina, Saskatchewan. The minimum lease obligations for the Regina facility require monthly payments of approximately US$2,489 translated to U.S. currency as of June 30, 2023. Original Sprout currently leases office and warehouse space in San Clemente, CA with 3-year facility lease expiring on November 30, 2023. Minimum monthly lease payments of approximately $23,625 commenced December 1, 2021 with annual increases. USCF Investments leases office space in Walnut Creek, California under an operating lease which expires in December 2023. Minimum monthly lease payments are approximately $13,455 with increases annually.

For years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the combined lease costs, including insignificant variable and short-term lease costs, of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled $815,699 and $824,196, respectively, and recorded under general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2023 the Consolidated Balance Sheets included operating lease right-of-use assets totaling $821,021, recorded net of $16,823 in deferred rent, and $837,844 in total operating lease liabilities.

Future minimum consolidated lease payments for The Marygold Companies and its subsidiaries are as follows:

Year Ended June 30,	Lease Amount			Finance Lease
2024	$	528,365		$	19,208
2025		226,713			19,208
2026		177,108			19,208
2027		56,188			19,208
2028		-			19,208
Thereafter		-			65,626
Total minimum lease payments		988,374			161,666
Less: present value discount		(150,530	)		(43,890	)
Total operating lease liabilities	$	837,844		$	117,776

The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 2.91 years as of June 30, 2023 and a weighted-average discount rate of 5.49% was used to determine the total operating lease liabilities. The remaining lease term for the Company's finance lease was 8.4 years as of June 30, 2023 with an annual interest rate of 6.99% and a present value discount of 27%. 

Additionally, Gourmet Foods entered into a General Security Agreement in favor of the Gerald O'Leary Family Trust and registered on the Personal Property Securities Register for a priority sum of NZ$110,000 (approximately US$67,152) to secure the lease of its primary facility. In addition, a NZ$20,000 (approximately US$12,209) bond has been posted through ANZ Bank and secured with a cash deposit of equal amount to secure a separate facilities lease. The General Security Agreement and the cash deposit will remain until such time as the respective leases are satisfactorily terminated in accordance with their terms. Interest from the cash deposit securing the lease accumulates to the benefit of Gourmet Foods and is listed as a component of interest income/expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Agreements and Commitments  

USCF manages four Funds (BNO, CPER, UGA, UNL) which had expense waiver provisions during the prior fiscal year, whereby USCF reimbursed funds when fund expenditure levels exceed certain threshold amounts. Effective May 1, 2021 USCF discontinued expense waiver reimbursements for BNO, CPER and UGA with only UNL continuing. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 the expense waiver payable was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. USCF has no obligation to continue such payments for UNL into subsequent periods.

As Marygold builds out its application, it enters into agreements with various service providers. As of June 30, 2023, Marygold has future payment commitments with its primary service vendors totaling $1.7 million including approximately $1.3 million due in fiscal 2024 and $0.4 million due in fiscal 2025.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings arising primarily from the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Except as described below, there are no pending legal proceedings against the Company. USCF is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. USCF, as the general partner of the United States Oil Fund, LP ("USO") and the general partner and sponsor of the related public funds may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. Except as described herein, USO and USCF are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

Settlement of SEC and CFTC Investigations

On November 8, 2021, USCF and USO announced a resolution with each of the SEC and the CFTC relating to matters set forth in certain Wells Notices issued by the staffs of each of the SEC and CFTC as more fully described below.

On August 17, 2020, USCF, USO, and John Love received a "Wells Notice" from the staff of the SEC (the "SEC Wells Notice"). The SEC Wells Notice stated that the SEC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Subsequently, on August 19, 2020, USCF, USO, and Mr. Love received a Wells Notice from the staff of the CFTC (the "CFTC Wells Notice"). The CFTC Wells Notice stated that the CFTC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the CFTC file an enforcement action against USCF, USO, and Mr. Love alleging violations of Sections 4o(1)(A) and (B) and 6(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "CEA"), 7 U.S.C. §§ 6o(1)(A) and (B) and 9(1) (2018), and CFTC Regulations 4.26, 4.41, and 180.1(a), 17 C.F.R. §§ 4.26, 4.41, 180.1(a) (2019).

On November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF and USO, the SEC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act, directing USCF and USO to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77q(a)(3) (the SEC Order). In the SEC Order, the SEC made findings that, from April 24, 2020 to May 21, 2020, USCF and USO violated Section 17(a)(3) of 1933 Act, which provides that it is "unlawful for any person in the offer or sale of any securities to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the purchaser." USCF and USO consented to entry of the SEC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Separately, on November 8, 2021, acting pursuant to an offer of settlement submitted by USCF, the CFTC issued an order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to Section 6(c) and (d) of the CEA, directing USCF to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, 7 U.S.C. § 6o(1)(B), and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), 17 C.F.R. § 4.41(a)(2) (the "CFTC Order"). In the CFTC Order, the CFTC made findings that, from on or about April 22, 2020 to June 12, 2020, USCF violated Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 4.41(a)(2), which make it unlawful for any commodity pool operator ("CPO") to engage in "any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant" and prohibit a CPO from advertising in a manner which "operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or participant or prospective client or participant," respectively. USCF consented to entry of the CFTC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except as to jurisdiction.

Pursuant to the SEC Order and the CFTC Order, in addition to the command to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, Section 4o(1)(B) of the CEA, and CFTC Regulation 4.14(a)(2), civil monetary penalties totaling two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) in the aggregate were required to be paid to the SEC and CFTC, of which one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) was paid by USCF to each of the SEC and the CFTC, respectively, pursuant to the offsets permitted under the orders.

In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation

On June 19, 2020, USCF, USO, John P. Love, and Stuart P. Crumbaugh were named as defendants in a putative class action filed by purported shareholder Robert Lucas (the "Lucas Class Action"). The Court thereafter consolidated the Lucas Class Action with two related putative class actions filed on July 31, 2020 and August 13, 2020, and appointed a lead plaintiff. The consolidated class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-04740.

On November 30, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the "Amended Lucas Class Complaint"). The Amended Lucas Class Complaint asserts claims under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint challenges statements in registration statements that became effective on February 25, 2020 and March 23, 2020 as well as subsequent public statements through April 2020 concerning certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint purports to have been brought by an investor in USO on behalf of a class of similarly-situated shareholders who purchased USO securities between February 25, 2020 and April 28, 2020 and pursuant to the challenged registration statements. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint seeks to certify a class and to award the class compensatory damages at an amount to be determined at trial as well as costs and attorney's fees. The Amended Lucas Class Complaint named as defendants USCF, USO, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes III, as well as the marketing agent, ALPS Distributors, Inc., and the Authorized Participants: ABN Amro, BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Company, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Company Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Virtu Financial BD LLC.

The lead plaintiff has filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its claims against BNP Paribas Securities Corporation, Citadel Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities USA LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Company, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC.

USCF, USO, and the individual defendants in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation intend to vigorously contest such claims and have moved for their dismissal. No accrual has been recorded with respect to the above legal matters as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of, possible losses resulting from these matters. It is reasonably possible that this estimate will change in the near term. An adverse outcome regarding these matters could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Mehan Action

On August 10, 2020, purported shareholder Darshan Mehan filed a derivative action on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Nicholas D. Gerber, Andrew F Ngim, Robert L. Nguyen, Peter M. Robinson, Gordon L. Ellis, and Malcolm R. Fobes, III (the "Mehan Action"). The action is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda as Case No. RG20070732.

The Mehan Action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to USO and failed to act in good faith in connection with a March 19, 2020 registration statement and offering and disclosures regarding certain extraordinary market conditions that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. All proceedings in the Mehan Action are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest such claims.

In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation

On August 27, 2020, purported shareholders Michael Cantrell and AML Pharm. Inc. DBA Golden International filed two separate derivative actions on behalf of nominal defendant USO, against defendants USCF, John P. Love, Stuart P. Crumbaugh, Andrew F Ngim, Gordon L. Ellis, Malcolm R. Fobes, III, Nicholas D. Gerber, Robert L. Nguyen, and Peter M. Robinson in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York at Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 (the "Cantrell Action") and Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06981 (the "AML Action"), respectively.

The complaints in the Cantrell and AML Actions are nearly identical. They each allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 21D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and common law claims of breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. These allegations stem from USO's disclosures and defendants' alleged actions in light of the extraordinary market conditions in 2020 that caused demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaints seek, on behalf of USO, compensatory damages, restitution, equitable relief, attorney's fees, and costs. The plaintiffs in the Cantrell and AML Actions have marked their actions as related to the Lucas Class Action.

The Court consolidated the Cantrell and AML Actions under the caption In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-06974 and appointed co-lead counsel. All proceedings in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation are stayed pending disposition of the motion(s) to dismiss in In re: United States Oil Fund, LP Securities Litigation.

USCF, USO, and the other defendants intend to vigorously contest the claims in In re United States Oil Fund, LP Derivative Litigation.

Optimum Strategies Action

On April 6, 2022, USO and USCF were named as defendants in an action filed by Optimum Strategies Fund I, LP, a purported investor in call option contracts on USO (the "Optimum Strategies Action"). The action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut at Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-00511.

The Optimum Strategies Action asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act ("CUSA"). It purports to challenge statements in registration statements that became effective in February 2020, March 2020, and on April 20, 2020, as well as public statements between February 2020 and May 2020, in connection with certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint seeks damages, interest, costs, attorney's fees, and equitable relief.

On March 15, 2023, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. In its ruling, the court granted the USO defendants' motion to dismiss, with prejudice, the plaintiff's claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and a claim for control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Having dismissed all claims over which the court had original jurisdiction, the court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the plaintiff's state law claim under CUSA and dismissed the claim without prejudice. No notice of appeal was filed.

No accrual has been recorded with respect to the above legal matters as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. We are currently unable to predict the timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or range of, possible losses resulting from these matters. It is reasonably possible that this estimate will change in the near term. An adverse outcome regarding these matters could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On December 2, 2021, Marygold became aware of certain activity indicative of potential fraud on its Fintech platform, which was still in beta testing stage of development, and associated with the opening of end-customer accounts. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K filing, Marygold estimates that approximately 80 end-customer accounts were opened fraudulently that resulted in approximately $103,000 being misappropriated. Upon learning of this activity, Marygold removed its app from all App Stores including, Apple and Android, to prevent any fraudulent activity through opening of new accounts created on its platform. Marygold further believes that no personal identifiable information was compromised. Marygold continues to monitor the security measures of its Fintech platform while continuing development. The accrual of approximately $250,000 was recorded through other income (expense) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and was reduced by approximately $147,000 later in the year ended June 30, 2022 as the total amount of the estimated loss decreased resulting in an actual loss of approximately $103,000. 

Retirement Plan

The Marygold Companies, through its wholly-owned subsidiary USCF, has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("401K Plan") covering U.S. employees, including Original Sprout and Marygold, who are over 21 years of age and who have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of service and have worked for the respective Marygold Companies subsidiary for at least three months. Participants may make contributions pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. In addition, the 401K Plan makes a safe harbor matching contribution. Quarterly profit-sharing contributions paid totaled approximately $208 thousand and $169 thousand for each of the years ended  June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING

With the acquisition of USCF Investments, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier, Tiger, and the launch of the Original Sprout business unit of Kahnalytics, the Company has identified five segments for its products and services; U.S.A. investment fund management, U.S.A. beauty products, New Zealand food industry and Canada security alarm systems. Our recently incorporated subsidiary, Marygold, has not begun operations, so its accounts have been consolidated with those of the parent, The Marygold Companies, and is not yet identified as a separate segment. Our recently acquired indirect subsidiary, Tiger, had only 9 days of operations during the year ended June 30, 2022 and operating results were nil for the year ended June 30, 2022. The Company's reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. The Company’s operations in the U.S.A. include the manufacture and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products by Original Sprout and the income derived from management of various investment funds by our subsidiary USCF Investments. In New Zealand operations include the production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections, and the printing of specialized food wrappers through our wholly-owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and their subsidiary, Printstock. In Canada, the Company provides security alarm system installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial customers sold through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brigadier. Our subsidiary in the U.K., Marygold UK, earns management fees through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tiger, as an investment advisor and asset manager. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. The Company accounts for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date and presented in US dollars.

All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand.

Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable, net and Accounts Receivable - Related Parties

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Brigadier, Gourmet Foods, and Original Sprout businesses. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine whether or not an account should be deemed uncollectible. Reserves, if any, are recorded on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,427 and $4,350, respectively, reserved for doubtful accounts.

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the USCF Investments business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Major Customers and Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

The Marygold Companies, as a holding company, operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and has no concentration of risk either from customers or suppliers as a stand-alone entity. Marygold, as a newly formed development stage entity, had not commenced operations for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Any transactions that did occur were combined with those of The Marygold Companies. Marygold UK began operations through its newly acquired subsidiary, Tiger, on June 20, 2022 and had no significant transactions for the year ended June 30, 2022.

For our subsidiary, USCF Investments, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated 12-month revenues and accounts receivable – related parties as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 as depicted below.

The Marygold Companies, through Gourmet Foods, 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, 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 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.

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, however another customer accounted for 27% of total Brigadier accounts receivable as of  June 30, 2023 and 0% as of June 30, 2022.

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.

The Marygold Companies, through 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 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.

The Marygold Companies, 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.

The Marygold Companies, through Marygold UK and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tiger Financial and Asset Management ("Tiger"), identifies its concentration of risk as the reliance on a relatively small number of clients to continue their relationship with Tiger as their investment advisor. Tiger acts as an investment advisor and financial planner to its clients and has two principal revenue streams which comprise ongoing fees for providing investment advice, and commissions for the intermediation of insurance-based products. Approximately 61% of revenues are derived from fees earned from ongoing (recurring) investment advice as compared to 39% derived from ongoing (recurring) commissions received for intermediating insurance-based products. Tiger does not provide investment management services directly, rather the clients’ assets are referred to third party investment managers, primarily discretionary investment managers, and Tiger receives fees for the ongoing advice and financial planning services which are charged as a percentage of the assets under management. Should the relationship with the current investment manager come to an end, management is confident that a similar arrangement can be easily made with alternative investment managers. Tiger advises approximately 50 families/clients who collectively account for approximately $40 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. Many of these clients have been awarded settlements relating to personal injuries and therefore the underlying advice is often over long-time horizons. One client accounted for 33% of the total revenue and assets under management for Tiger for the year ended June 30, 2023. Marygold UK is seeking to further diversify its client base through ongoing outreach initiatives and, in the long term, add to its revenue streams through the development of the Marygold fintech app.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of; (i) food products, printing supplies, and packaging in New Zealand, (ii) hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S., (iii) security system hardware in Canada, and (iv) printed debit cards and wearables at Marygold are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories in Canada and New Zealand are maintained on the first-in, first-out method, while inventory in the U.S is maintained using the average cost method. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. An assessment is made at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine what slow-moving inventory items, if any, should be deemed obsolete and written down to their estimated net realizable value. For the years ended  June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $2,698 and $10,509, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Category	Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Building		39
Plant and equipment:		5 to 10
Furniture and office equipment		3 to 5
Vehicles		3 to 5

Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists along with the internally developed software in process for the business applications of Marygold which launched in the latter part of June 2023, and the U.K. regulatory certification acquired by Marygold UK in the Tiger purchase transaction. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When it is determined that an indefinite intangible asset is impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination transaction. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative test to determine if goodwill is impaired at a reporting unit. In performing this test, the Company evaluates macroeconomic factors, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as the increase in the cost of materials or labor or other costs, overall financial performance, changes in key personnel or customers or strategy, and other entity-specific events or trends that could indicate impairment, among other items. If the results of this test indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting is below its carrying value, a quantitative test is then performed to determine the amount of the impairment. When impaired, the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Equity securities included in short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and debt securities are classified as trading securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) which is included as part of other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds in the United States and in the United Kingdom primarily based on assets under management ("AUM"), sales of gourmet meat pies and printing of food wrappers in New Zealand, sales of security alarm system installation and maintenance services in Canada, and sales of hair and skin care products internationally. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, and trade discounts. The performance obligation is satisfied when the product has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, the revenue recognition criteria described below are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management services are provided. For our Brigadier subsidiary in Canada, the Company operates under contract with an alarm monitoring company that pays a percentage of its recurring monitoring fee to Brigadier in exchange for continued customer service and support functions with respect to each customer maintained under contract by the monitoring company. The Company has no costs of contracts which require capitalization. The Company's only contract assets are accounts receivable, net, and accounts receivable - related parties. The Company has no contract liabilities other than deposits received periodically which are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company generates revenue, in part, through contractual monthly recurring fees received for providing ongoing customer support services to monitoring company clientele. The five-step process governing contract revenue reporting includes:

1. Identifying the contract(s) with customers

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied

Transactions involve security systems that are sold outright to the customer where the Company's performance obligations include customer support services and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete, and is reflected as security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenue associated with customer support services is recognized as those services are provided, and is included as a component of security system revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $312,177 and $399,322, or approximately 12% and 16%, respectively, of the total security system revenues. These revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 accounted for approximately 1% of total consolidated revenues. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company generate revenues from long-term contracts.

Because the Company has no contract with the end user, and the monthly payments for customer support services are made to the Company by the monitoring company who has a contract with the end user, and end user customers are subject to cancellation through no control of the Company; therefore, no deferred revenues or contingent liability reserves have been established with respect to these contracts. The services are deemed delivered as the obligation is acknowledged on a monthly basis.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of income.

Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Foreign Currency Translation

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency, and the accounts of Marygold UK use the Great Britain pound as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Business Combinations

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Board Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, and ASU 2019-11, which replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and require a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (as amended by ASU 2019-10), including interim periods within that annual period. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will lead to changes in disclosures as well as insignificant changes related to the period of recognition of losses on its receivables. 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The amendment is meant to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in subtopic 470-20 for convertible instruments. The amendment also changed the method used to calculate diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for convertible instruments and for instruments that may be settled in cash. The amendment is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods for those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures given its current and anticipated operations.
