SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “shall,” “might,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

 

the outcome of the class action litigation;

 

recent resolutions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) against United States Oil Fund, L.P., United States Commodity Funds, LLC, a subsidiary of our subsidiary, USCF Investments, Inc. ("USCF Investments") (f/k/a Wainwright Holdings), and other related parties, as disclosed under “Item 1. Legal Proceedings”;

 

our future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve and maintain profitability; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic thereon;

 

the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, and liquidity needs; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic thereon;

 

our operating subsidiaries' ability to attract and retain customers to use our products, to optimize the pricing for our products, to expand our sales to our customers, and to convince our existing customers to renew subscriptions;

 

the evolution of technologies affecting our operating subsidiaries' products and markets;

 

our operating subsidiaries' ability to innovate and provide a superior user experience and our intentions and strategy with respect thereto;

 

our operating subsidiaries' ability to successfully penetrate enterprise markets; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic thereon;

 

our operating subsidiaries' ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new markets, including international markets; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic thereon;

 

the attraction and retention of key personnel;

 

our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;

 

worldwide economic conditions, including the economic disruption imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on spending; and

 

our operating subsidiaries' ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business, including privacy and data security regulations.

 

We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our registration statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we and our subsidiaries operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We and our subsidiaries may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, related statements of income and comprehensive income, 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”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended June 30, 2021 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2021.

 

10

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are referred to herein as the “Financial Statements” include the accounts of The Marygold Companies and its wholly owned subsidiaries, USCF Investments (f/k/a Wainwright Holdings, Inc.), Gourmet Foods, Brigadier, Original Sprout, Marygold and Marygold UK.

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Financial Statements are in conformity with U.S. GAAP which 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 include all 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, Canada, and New Zealand. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor, and accounts in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation up to CD$100,000 per depositor. 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 related to 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company had $3,672 and $15,499, respectively, reserved for as doubtful accounts.

 

Accounts receivable - related parties consist of fund asset management fees receivable related to 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, 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 and Marygold UK, as newly formed development stage entities, had no revenues and no significant transactions for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. Any transactions that did occur were included with those of the Company.

 

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 three and nine month revenues as of March 31, 2022 compared with those at March 31, 2021 along with the accounts receivable – related parties as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 as depicted below.

The Company, 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. For the purpose of segment reporting (Note 15) both revenue streams are considered part of the same "food industry" segment as they are evaluated as one segment by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker.

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2022, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 22% of baking sales revenues as compared to 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the largest customer accounted for approximately 23% of baking sales revenues as compared to 18% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. This customer accounted for 23% of the baking accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 as compared to 19% as of June 30, 2021. The were no other grocery industry customers who accounted for a significant portion of baking sales for the 3 or 9 month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, however one additional customer accounted for 28% and 27% of baking accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and  June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

In the gasoline convenience store market customer group, Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2022 accounted for approximately 49% of baking sales revenues as compared to 50% for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2021. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable, however as a group they accounted for 19% of baking accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 as compared to 22% as of June 30, 2021. A second consortium of gasoline convenience stores were not significant in sales volume, however did account for 18% and 23% of baking accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

The third major customer group is independent retailers and cafes, which collectively accounted for the balance of baking sales revenue, however no single customer in this group was a significant contributor of baking sales revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021, nor a significant contributor to baking accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

 

Printing: The printing sector of Gourmet Foods' gross revenues is comprised of many customers, some large and some small, with one customer accounting for 39% and 38% of the printing sector revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to 29% and 26% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. This same customer accounted for 48% and 40% of the printing sector accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Consolidated: With respect to Gourmet Foods’ consolidated risk, the largest three customers accounted for 36%, 16% and 12% of Gourmet Foods' consolidated gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 32%, 11% and 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2022, these three customers accounted for 31%, 15% and 14% of consolidated gross revenues as compared to 31%, 11% and 9% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2021. These customers accounted for nil%, 10% and 30% of the consolidated accounts receivable of Gourmet Foods as of March 31, 2022 as compared to nil%, 7% and 26%, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

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 unavailability of, or increase in price in, any of the ingredients on which Gourmet Foods relies to produce its products could harm its operating results for such period.

 

The Marygold Companies, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes contracts and recurring monthly support fees, totaled 57% and 51% of the total Brigadier revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to 43% and 47% for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 30% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 as compared to 31% as of June 30, 2021.

 

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, has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain customers become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Original Sprout had no significant customer for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2021 where one customer accounted for 9% and 13% of sales revenues, respectively. Four other customers who were insignificant contributors to sales, but whose balance due exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable, collectively accounted for 72% and 61% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

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.

 

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.; and, (iii) security system hardware in Canada, 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the expense for slow-moving or obsolete inventory was $0 and $67,576, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the expense for slow-moving or obsolete inventory was $3,478 and $67,576, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred; additions and 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists along with the internal use software in process for the business applications of Marygold to be launched in the coming fiscal year. 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. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, 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 nine month period ended March 31, 2022 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

 

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 nine month period ended March 31, 2022 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

 

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 nine month period ended March 31, 2022 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale 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. 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and expands 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.

 

14

 

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.

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

The Company from time to time will issue warrant instruments to purchase common stock and accounts for warrant instruments as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). Generally, warrants issued in connection with debt and equity financings are presented as a component of equity unless the warrants include a conditional obligation to issue a variable number of shares among other conditions, or it is possible that the Company may need to settle the warrants in cash, in which instance the warrants would be accounted for as non-current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 all outstanding warrants are classified as equity instruments. No warrants were outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and printing of food wrappers in New Zealand, 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, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management fees earned each month. 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 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; and

 

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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, were approximately $171,798 and $318,394, or approximately 31% and 17%, of the total security system revenues as compared to $182,631 and $538,436 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, or 25% and 27% of the total security system revenues. These revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 account for approximately 1% and 2%, respectively, of total consolidated revenues as compared to 2% and 2% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. 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, 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.

 

15

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Marketing and advertising costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security Systems use the Canadian dollar 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company defines operating segments as components for 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 these segments (Refer to Note 16 of the Condensed 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 nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 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. 

 

16

 

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 Entitys 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.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which aims to provide increased transparency by requiring business entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive in the notes to the annual financial statements. The guidance will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, 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 (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. This calculation also includes the weighted average number of Series B Convertible Preferred shares outstanding 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 (loss) 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. The Underwriter’s Warrants, as defined in Note 12, may be exercised at $2.40 per share beginning on September 14, 2022, which is the date that is 180 days after the commencement of sales of the common stock issued in connection with public offering, and expire on March 14, 2027, which is five years from their initial issuance date. The Company does not have any other outstanding options or exercisable warrants or other dilutive financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the exercise price of the warrants exceeded the closing price of the Company's stock, and not dilutive, as such, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. 

 

On August 25, 2021 the Company adopted the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and had not issued any awards under the Plan as of March 31, 2022. The Company has also authorized a reverse stock split of its Common Stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-1.5 and not more than 1-for-2.75 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) at any time prior to the one year anniversary of filing of a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the Board of Directors (the "Board") having the discretion as to whether or not the Reverse Stock Split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any Reverse Stock Split to be set within the above range as determined by the Board in its discretion.

 

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

BRAND NAME

 

On August 11, 2015, the Company acquired Gourmet Foods, Ltd. 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. 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. Unlike the brand names Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems, Original Sprout is an actual product name and recognized associated brand that is identifiable to consumers of the product and is the basis of the value proposition. That brand name will forever 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, Ltd., 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.

INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 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 March 31, 2022, have been capitalized as intangible assets. Once development has been completed and the product is commercially available, these capitalized costs will be amortized over their useful lives. As of March 31, 2022, no amortization expense has been recorded for these intangible assets.

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.

 

The Underwriting Agreement is included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2022 (included by reference herein) to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. 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. 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%.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Each issued Series B Voting, 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. There are 49,360 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 which, when converted, represent 987,200 shares of common stock.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

On March 11, 2020 our wholly owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Printstock, a New Zealand private company located in Napier, New Zealand. Printstock is a printer of wrappers distributed to food manufacturers primarily within New Zealand and limited export to Australia. The company will be operated as a subsidiary of Gourmet Foods and is expected to incrementally reduce the cost of goods sold through reduction in the cost of wrappers purchased by Gourmet Foods by elimination of inter-company profit while increasing overall revenues and profits to Gourmet Foods on a consolidated basis through inclusion of Printstock operations. The purchase price was agreed to be NZ$1.9 million subject to adjustment within 90 days of the closing date. The transaction closed on July 1, 2020 with a payment of NZ$1.5M and an estimated final payment due of NZ$420,552 on September 30, 2020. Included in the below purchase price allocation are estimated deferred income tax liabilities of US$68,061 pertaining to the increase in the value of fixed assets above their book value and the acquired intangible assets. The amounts have been translated to US currency as of the acquisition date, July 1, 2020.

On August 13, 2021, Marygold UK entered into a Share Purchase Agreement that, when consummated, would result in the acquisition of all the outstanding and issued shares of Tiger Financial and Asset Management Limited, a U.K. limited company, ("Tiger") in exchange for GBP 1,500,000 (approximately US$2,100,000) plus acquired cash-on-hand at the time of closing. Marygold UK will pay the purchase price in 3 approximately equal payments commencing at closing and at each annual anniversary date. Funding for the purchase price will be provided through a loan facility granted by The Marygold Companies. The Company plans to expand its Marygold Fintech services offering into the U.K. market provided a successful launch in the U.S. is realized. Tiger is an established and certified investment advisor in the U.K., and will be able to more easily offer such services as Marygold's to its clientele and other U.K. residents thus greatly reducing the cost and time to market for Marygold. As of May 13, 2022, the transaction remains subject to completion of the required closing conditions.

 

 

 

NOTE 14.

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income 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 Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.3 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

 

24

 

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded tax expense of $421 thousand and $744 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to tax expense of $481 thousand and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future due to changes in the taxable income mix between various jurisdictions.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s U.S. tax years 2017 through 2020 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is three and four years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from 2017 through 2020 remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities. As of March 31, 2022, there were no active taxing authority examinations.  

 

 

 

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 Condensed 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, and certain office equipment leases which are deemed insignificant, 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 Condensed 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 $23,964 (GST not included) translated to U.S. currency as of March 31, 2022. 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 $1,586 translated as of March 31, 2022. Brigadier leases office and storage facilities in Regina, Saskatchewan. The minimum lease obligations for the Regina facility require monthly payments of approximately $2,636 translated to U.S. currency as of March 31, 2022. 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 $22,750 commenced December 1, 2021 with annual increases. USCF Investments leases office space in Walnut Creek, California under an operating lease which expires in December 2024. Minimum monthly lease payments are approximately $13,063 with increases annually.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the combined lease payments of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled $204,816 and $201,801, respectively. For the nine month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the combined lease payments of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled $616,075 and $549,654, respectively. Lease payments are recorded under general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2022 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included operating lease right-of-use assets totaling $1,562,908, recorded net of $52,669 in deferred rent, and $1,615,578 in total operating lease liabilities. Accounting for the increase in the right-of-use assets as of March 31, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 were the renewal of operating leases at our Gourmet Foods and Printstock facilities in New Zealand. The underlying assets of the finance lease, totaling $149,593 net of depreciation, are included in property, plant and equipment while the lease liability of $146,903 is included in long-term and short-term loans-property and equipment, net of GST payments which are expensed as incurred, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022. There was no finance lease at June 30, 2021. The assets of the solar lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 year term of the lease. Amortization of the leased assets totaled $3,723 and $4,167 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in depreciation expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and is identified as a reduction in finance lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Interest expense for the finance lease totaled $346 and $387 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 3.1 years as of March 31, 2022 and a weighted-average discount rate of 5.5% was used to determine the total operating lease liabilities. The remaining lease term for the Company’s finance lease was 116 months with a discount rate of 6.99%. Finance lease right-of-use assets are combined with those of property, plant and equipment with lease liabilities included in long-term and short-term loans-property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

 

Additionally, Gourmet Foods, Ltd. 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$76,524) to secure the lease of its primary facility. In addition, a NZ$20,000 (approximately US$13,913) 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, Ltd. and is listed as a component of interest income/expense on the accompanying Condensed 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 reimburses 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 the expense waiver payable was $18 thousand and $70 thousand, 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 March 31, 2022, Marygold has future payment commitments with its primary service vendors totaling $357,000 including approximately $287,000 due in 2022 and $70,000 due in 2023.

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. 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.

 

USCF and USO intend to vigorously contest such claims.

 

Settlement of SEC and CFTC Investigations 

 

On November 8, 2021, one of The Marygold Companies, Inc.'s (the "Company") indirect subsidiaries, the United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), together with United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”), for which USCF is the general partner, announced a resolution with each of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) relating to matters set forth in certain Wells Notices issued by the staffs of each of the SEC and CFTC, as detailed 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 relates to USO's disclosures in late April 2020 and early May 2020 regarding constraints imposed on USO's ability to invest in Oil Futures Contracts. The SEC Wells Notice states that the SEC staff has 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 1933 Act and Section 10(b) of the 1934 Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in each case with respect to its disclosures and USO’s actions.

 

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 states that the CFTC staff has 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 CEA, 7 U.S.C. §§ 6o(1)(A), (B), 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), in each case with respect to its disclosures and USO’s actions.

 

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 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. The SEC Order can be accessed at www.sec.gov and the CFTC Order can be accessed at www.cftc.gov.

 

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.

 

27

 

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 1934 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 has 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 1934 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 entered and 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.  No accrual has been recorded with respect to the above legal matters as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing, Marygold estimates that approximately 80 end-customer accounts were opened fraudulently that resulted in approximately $250,000 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 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as the total amount of the estimated loss decreased. 

 

Retirement Plan

 

The Marygold Companies through its wholly owned subsidiary USCF Investments, has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("401K Plan") covering U.S. employees, including Original Sprout, who are over 21 years of age and who have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of service and have worked for USCF Investments or Original Sprout 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. Profit sharing contributions paid totaled approximately $46 thousand and $32 thousand for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, totaled $134 thousand and $113 thousand, respectively.

 

 

 

NOTE 16.

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

With the acquisition of USCF Investments, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier, and the launch of the Original Sprout business unit of Kahnalytics, the Company has identified four 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 subsidiaries, Marygold and Marygold UK, have not begun operations, so their accounts have been consolidated with those of the parent, The Marygold Companies, and are not identified as a separate segment. 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 and its 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. 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. The Company files income taxes as a combined group and records most income taxes at the parent level.

Financial summary and comparison data for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Revenue and Operating Income

 

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $8.8 million representing a $0.7 million decrease from the same prior year period revenue of $9.5 million. Net revenues decreased as a result of lower revenues from all of our subsidiaries, apart from USCF Investments, by a combined $621 thousand, or 18%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company's revenues derived from its USCF Investments subsidiary declined slightly by $130 thousand, or 2%, from the same prior year period due to lower average AUM, resulting in an overall decrease in consolidated revenue of approximately 8%. The Company had an operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of  $1.0 million as compared to operating income of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Other Income 

 

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, was $247 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively, resulting in income before income taxes of $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

 

Income Tax

 

Provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were $421 thousand and $481 thousand, respectively, attributable to our United States operations and specifically to expenses incurred by our Marygold subsidiary and from our USCF Investments subsidiary who recorded a lower income for the period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the income for the period ended March 31, 2021. The Company files income taxes as a combined group and records most income taxes at the parent level. 

 

Net Income and Comprehensive Income

 

Overall, the net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $0.7 million to $0.9 million, as compared to net income of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in profits for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to increased costs at our Marygold subsidiary, lower sales revenues at our consumer-based operations, and the income tax provision of $421 thousand. The consumer-based operations contributed approximately $180 thousand of net losses representing a $266 thousand decrease in net income from the same prior year period primarily as result of higher costs and lower profit margins within Original Sprout. Contributing to the overall decrease in net income were expenses of $694 thousand related to our development stage subsidiary, Marygold. After giving consideration to currency translation gain of $79 thousand, our comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 when there was a currency translation loss of ($17) thousand resulting in comprehensive income of $1.6 million. Comprehensive gains and losses are comprised of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to the effects in the valuation of our holdings in New Zealand and Canada.

Revenue and Operating Income

The Company's revenues derived from its other operating units decreased by $0.3 million, or 3%, from the same prior year period, resulting in an overall decrease in consolidated revenue of approximately 8%. The Company produced an operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 of $0.7 million as compared to an operating income of $6.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the $2.5 million SEC / CFTC Wells Notice settlement in addition to lower fund management revenue from USCF Investments due to lower AUM as well as additional expenses incurred by Marygold which totaled $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

After giving consideration to currency translation loss of ($21) thousand, our comprehensive loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was ($9) thousand as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2021 where there was a currency translation gain of $353 thousand resulting in comprehensive income of $5.5 million. Comprehensive gain and loss are comprised of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to the effects in the valuation of our holdings in New Zealand and Canada.

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.

Revenue

 

Average AUM for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was at $4.4 billion, as compared to approximately $4.8 billion from the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to a decrease in USO, BNO and USL AUM.

Variable expenses, as described above, increased by $0.2 million due to an increase in UMI, USCI and CPER sub-advisory fees due to increases in their respective AUM from the prior year quarter, offset by smaller decreases in other variable expenses over the respective three-month period due to overall lower AUM which included variable marketing and distribution expenses, and fund accounting and administration expenses.

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

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 ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has made adjustments to its primary channels to market. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas in the current environment of social distancing and closures of retail businesses the company found a significant drop in sales volumes as consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. Moreover, distributors found it more profitable to sell directly to consumers via ecommerce that to sell wholesale to resellers. The result was a dramatic downturn in the average selling price of Original Sprout products on ecommerce sites as distributors began selling to end users at wholesale price. In response to this trend, Original Sprout has established new sales channels with online retailers and also reconstructed many of its distribution agreements and pricing tiers. The positive effects of this transition are expected to be evident during the summer months of 2022, while the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wholesale distribution business continues to disrupt the global marketplace. The result is that sales overall have been relatively stable during the pandemic, though derived from different sources, however profit margins have temporarily decreased as changes are implemented. The company has also incurred expenses related to new product development and creation of upcoming marketing collateral, which is expected to continue for the remainder of the fiscal year.

 

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Revenue

 

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.7 million as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, resulting in a gross profit of approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, or 38% as compared to 32% gross margin. The decrease in revenues was due to the continuing trends of increased online shopping at lower prices and the loss of domestic distribution to hair salons and boutiques as a result of COVID restrictions in the U.S.

 

Expenses

 

Operating expenses were approximately $0.4 million resulting in an operating (loss) of ($148) thousand, as compared to $0.4 million of operating expenses resulting in operating loss of ($131) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Income (Loss)

 

After consideration given to other income of $1 thousand, the net (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately ($147) thousand as compared to ($120) thousand net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 where other income totaled $11 thousand.

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Revenue

 

Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were $2.7 million as compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1.6 million and 1.7 million, respectively, resulting in a gross profit of approximately $1.1 million for each period.

 

Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were approximately $1.3 million resulting in an operating (loss) of approximately ($160) thousand, as compared to $1.3 million of operating expenses resulting in an operating (loss) of approximately ($135) thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Income (Loss)

 

After consideration given to other income of $5 thousand, the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately ($155) thousand as compared to ($116) thousand net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 where other income totaled approximately $19 thousand.

 

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 is transitioning from a largely boutique offering distributed through specialty wholesalers to a more mainstream product available at traditional outlets and online and as such we anticipate measurable growth in revenues for the coming years, though there may be one-time initial expenses associated with the launch of new sales channels. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the security industry coupled with expanded product offerings. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and continue to increase market share through additional product offerings and channels to market, including the printing and sale of food wrappers by their subsidiary, Printstock. USCF Investments expects to continue development of 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 development stage subsidiary Marygold and Co. 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,

 

increase our gross 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 and losses,

 

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

 

explore opportunities as may present themselves in the Fintech space, including the launch of services by Marygold and Marygold Advisory Services, and the creation of new corporate entities as focused subsidiary holdings.

 

 

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 at the subsidiary level. There are no limitations or constraints on the movement of funds between the entities.

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had $16.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to $16.1 million as of June 30, 2021.

 

During the past six fiscal years combined, The Marygold Companies has invested approximately $8.2 million in cash towards purchasing and assimilating Gourmet Foods and its Printstock subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems and the Original Sprout assets into the The Marygold Companies group of companies as well as the acquisition through a stock-for-stock exchange of USCF Investments, which provides a significant revenue stream and value. We have also invested approximately $5.1 million in the development of Fintech applications through our newly organized subsidiary, Marygold. Despite these cash investments, our working capital position remains strong at $16.1 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 and the conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely impacted.

 

Borrowings

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.0 million of related-party and third-party indebtedness on a consolidated basis as compared to $1.0 million as of June 30, 2021. Approximately $380,414 is owed by Brigadier and secured with the land and building in Saskatoon purchased in July 2019. The initial principal balance was approximately $401,000 (CAD$525,000 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 March 31, 2022 is approximately $15,438 and the long-term principal amount due is approximately $364,976. Interest on the loan is expensed or accrued as it becomes due. Interest expense on the loan for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $3,865 and $11,884, respectively, as compared to $4,001 and $11,981 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The Company, without inclusion of its subsidiary companies, as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, had $0.6 million of related-party indebtedness. We are not required to make interest payments on our related party notes until the maturity date.

Investments

 

USCF Investments, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP and ETF funds that USCF 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, USCF Investments held $1.4 million and $0 in its GLDX fund, respectively. These 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 have paid no dividends and we do not expect to pay any dividends over the next fiscal year.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Marygold Companies maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurances that the information required to be disclosed in The Marygold Companies’ periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures and any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

The duly appointed officers of The Marygold Companies, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who perform functions equivalent to those of a principal executive officer and principal financial officer of The Marygold Companies, have evaluated the effectiveness of The Marygold Companies’ disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of The Marygold Companies were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

(b)  Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. 

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 or its subsidiaries. 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.

 

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. 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.

 

USCF and USO intend to vigorously contest such claims.

 

Settlement of SEC and CFTC Investigations 

 

On November 8, 2021, one of The Marygold Companies, Inc.'s (the "Company") indirect subsidiaries, the United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), together with United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO”), for which USCF is the general partner, announced a resolution with each of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) relating to matters set forth in certain Wells Notices issued by the staffs of each of the SEC and CFTC, as detailed 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 relates to USO's disclosures in late April 2020 and early May 2020 regarding constraints imposed on USO's ability to invest in Oil Futures Contracts. The SEC Wells Notice states that the SEC staff has 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 1933 Act and Section 10(b) of the 1934 Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in each case with respect to its disclosures and USO’s actions.

 

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 states that the CFTC staff has 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 CEA, 7 U.S.C. §§ 6o(1)(A), (B), 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), in each case with respect to its disclosures and USO’s actions.

 

 

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 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. The SEC Order can be accessed at www.sec.gov and the CFTC Order can be accessed at www.cftc.gov.

 

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 1934 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 has 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 1934 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 entered and 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.
