CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDIN
G FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for our future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “would” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under the sections in this Quarterly Report entitled “
Risk Factors
” and “
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, including, without limitation, the following:
•
our ability to realize the benefits expected from the Business Combination;
•
the limited liquidity and trading of our securities;
•
our ability to subsequently obtain the listing of our common stock and warrants on a national securities exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market) when we are eligible;
•
our limited operating history, which may make it difficult to successfully execute our strategic initiatives and accurately evaluate future risks and challenges;
•
our failure to attract new borrowers or retain existing borrowers;
•
fluctuations in costs and economic activity, especially in New York City;
•
loss of confidential data from customers and employees, which may subject us to litigation, liability or reputational damage;
•
our failure to successfully compete;
•
our failure to properly manage growth and relationships with various business partners;
•
our failure to protect against software or hardware vulnerabilities;
•
our failure to raise additional capital to develop our business;
•
risks related to global economic and societal disruptions and uncertainties or future widespread public health epidemics, including supply chain disruptions;
•
the potential impact of a prolonged government shutdown;
•
the loss of one or more of our executive officers and other key employees;
•
our failure to hire and retain qualified employees;
•
risks related to our tax obligations, effective tax rate, or realization of our deferred tax assets;
•
our failure to comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations;
•
the costs related to being a public company;
•
the impact from changes in policies and regulations as a result of the new presidential administration; and
•
other factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those in the sections entitled “
Risk Factors
.”
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could
i
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forwar
d-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

1.
Description of Organization and Business Operations
Marblegate Capital Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “MCC”) is a Delaware corporation and vertically integrated specialty finance lender and taxi fleet operator with operations primarily focused in the New York City taxi medallion market.
The Company was originally formed by Marblegate Acquisition Corporation (“MAC”), a Delaware corporation and special purpose acquisition company, on February 2, 2023 and survived the Business Combination, as defined below. Following the closing of the Merger (as defined below), shares of MCC common stock (“Common Stock”) and MCC warrants began trading on OTC Markets OTCQX (“OTCQX”) under the symbols “MGTE” and “MGTEW”, respectively, on April 10, 2025.
On April 7, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the business combination contemplated by an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of February 14, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, MAC, Marblegate Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), MAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, DePalma Acquisition I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma I”), and DePalma Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma II,” and together with DePalma I, the “DePalma Companies”), pursuant to which MAC agreed to combine with the DePalma Companies in a series of transactions that resulted in the Company becoming a publicly traded company and the surviving company (the “Business Combination”). Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, on April 7, 2025, as contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, the Company and the DePalma Companies effected a series of reorganization transactions, resulting in the Company becoming the owner of approximately
83.7
% of the DePalma Companies, with the remaining
16.3
% continuing to be owned by certain limited partners of the DePalma Companies.
As a result of the Business Combination, MCC is a holding company, in which substantially all of its assets are held by and its businesses operate through the DePalma Companies and its subsidiaries. The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The DePalma Companies were determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, and therefore the historical combined financial statements of the DePalma Companies became the basis for the historical financial statements of the Company upon the closing of the Business Combination. The accompanying financial statements retrospectively combine the results of the DePalma Companies. See Note 3 for additional information.
The Company’s operations are managed by the Manager pursuant to a certain Management Services Agreement (the “MSA”) effective upon the Closing Date. The DePalma Companies were managed by the Manager prior to the Business Combination. Pursuant to the MSA, the Manager provides certain management services to the Company including, but not limited to, overseeing the acquisition and disposition of the Company’s assets, overseeing the loan portfolio held by the Company, managing the Company’s day-to-day business and operations, evaluating the financial and operational performance of the Company, providing a management team to serve as executive officers of the Company, and performing any other services for and on behalf of the Company to the extent that such services are consistent with those that are customarily performed by the executive officers and employees of a publicly listed company. In addition, Field Point Servicing, LLC (the “Loan Servicer” or “Field Point”) is the third-party loan servicer for all of the loans held by the Company.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in United States Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Prior to the Closing Date, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the DePalma Companies. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31,
5
2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025, including the annual financial statements of the DePalma Companies for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Form 10-K, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act, as defined, provides emerging growth companies with certain exemptions from public company reporting requirements for up to five fiscal years while a company remains an emerging growth company. As part of these exemptions, the Company has reduced disclosure obligations such as for executive compensation, and it is not required to comply with auditor attestation requirements from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, regarding its internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, the JOBS Act has allowed the Company to delay adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of the JOBS Act.
Use of Estimates
Financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, Management believes these estimates, assumptions and judgments to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company
’s significant estimates and assumptions include the estimation of the testing of impairment for the indefinite-lived taxi medallion intangible assets, the fair value of loans held for investment, the fair value of indefinite-lived taxi medallion intangible assets acquired in loan foreclosures, deferred taxes and income tax provisions, and the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers money market accounts and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
’s cash and cash equivalents are held by major financial institutions, for which accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $
250,000
per legal entity. At times, cash and cash equivalents balances may exceed federally insured limits, and this potentially subjects
the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Furthermore, the Company
reduces risk by maintaining accounts with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy, and by monitoring this credit risk and adjusting when necessary.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s taxi medallions are determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
. The Company acquires taxi medallions by purchase, or by foreclosure on loans collateralized by taxi medallions. If medallion collateral is foreclosed on, the Company recognizes the medallion at fair value on the foreclosure date, less foreclosure related costs. The fair value of a medallion acquired in foreclosure is a nonrecurring Level 3 measurement and is measured consistent with the Company’s policy in determining market medallion prices to measure underlying collateral value for its loans held for investment, at fair value, as further detailed in Note 4. Costs incurred for renewal of taxi medallions are included within general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead tested for impairment. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on October 1st of each year or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The Company evaluates its taxi medallions as a single unit of accounting for purposes of testing for impairment, as taxi medallions are homogeneous assets within each jurisdiction, which are interchangeable and have identical characteristics. In the Company’s evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, a qualitative assessment is typically performed prior to performing the quantitative analysis. If, after assessing the qualitative factors, the Company
determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is compared to its carrying amount and if the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. Determining the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
No
impairment losses were recognized for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
6
Gains and losses on the disposal of taxi medallions are recorded within gains from disposal of medallions in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of a taxi medallion on an average cost basis.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Additions and improvements that extend the economic useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current earnings as income or loss from operations.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method in amounts considered to be sufficient to allocate the cost of the assets to operations over the estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset Category
Depreciable Life
Taxi vehicles
3
-
5
years
Furniture and fixtures
7
years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of useful life and lease term
Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant changes in the Company’s forecasted projections for the asset or asset group for reasons including, but not limited to, significant changes, or planned changes in the Company’s use of the long-lived assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, recoverability is measured based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset or asset group. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset is written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related fair value of the asset with the related impairment charge recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
, there were
no
indicators of impairment of the value of long-lived assets and
no
impairment losses were recognized.
Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value
The Company holds loans for investment that are generally collateralized by taxi medallions in various jurisdictions, primarily New York City. In certain instances, the Company may take other forms of collateral in addition to taxi medallions, such as commercial and residential real estate.
Certain of the Company’s loans are subject to a certain Medallion Relief Program established by the City of New York in March 2021, or the Medallion Relief Program+ established in March 2022 (together the “MRP+”). The MRP+ was established to assist economically distressed individual taxi medallion owners and to support the recovery of the taxi industry in the City of New York. The MRP+ was established between the City of New York, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (“TWA”), a labor union representing taxi drivers, and the Manager. The MRP+ program included a NYC-funded deficiency credit support mechanism (the “Reserve Fund”) to achieve greater principal reduction and lower monthly payments for taxi medallion loans that were restructured through the MRP+. The Reserve Fund also serves both to make loan payments for a period to participating lenders following the occurrence of a payment default by a participating borrower, as well as to satisfy any deficiency realized upon foreclosure of medallion collateral. Under the MRP+, eligible medallion loans with a principal balance of $
200,000
or more were reduced to an initial principal balance of $
200,000
and further reduced to $
170,000
per medallion (after a $
30,000
per medallion principal reduction payment from the Reserve Fund). Existing medallion loans with a principal balance of $
200,000
or less had a principal balance equal to the existing principal balance reduced by (i) $
30,000
per medallion and (ii) further reduced by
5
% of the post-paydown principal balance per medallion resulting from (i) above. In no event does the principal balance of any MRP+ medallion loan exceed $
170,000
per medallion after restructuring. Further, MRP+ loans have a maturity date of
25
years from the date of restructuring, accrue interest at an annual rate of
7.3
%, and require fixed monthly payments. The Company also holds loans that are not subject to the MRP+ program (“Non-MRP+” loans), which have varying maturity dates and interest rates.
The Company has elected the fair value option and measures these collateralized loans at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the change. The Company made this accounting election pursuant to ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
(“ASC 825”), to better align reported results with the underlying economic changes in the value of the loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of eligible loans or when certain specified reconsideration events occur.
7
The Company recognizes gains and losses upon sale, or foreclosure, of loans held for investment, at fair value. Gains and losses on loans held for investment, at fair value are recorded within gains (losses) on loans held for investment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of a loan. For foreclosed loans, the difference between fair value of the collateral less foreclosure costs compared to the loan carrying value is recorded as a gain or loss. Prior period changes in fair value have been reflected in the carrying value of such loans up until foreclosure. Changes in fair value of loans are reported within gains (losses) on loans held for investment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Interest income on loans is generally recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized within interest income when cash is received. Interest income previously accrued but not paid on loans that have been placed on non-accrual status is reversed.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, based on current information and events, there is doubt as to the collectability of interest or principal due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement, unless management has determined that they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are greater than 90 days past due. MRP+ loans in which payments are being received from the Reserve Fund are placed on non-accrual status. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company
changed its general methodology for placing loans on non-accrual status from 30 days past due to 90 days past due to align with industry practice. The effect of this change in accounting policy did not have an impact on amounts previously reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity or liability classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms pursuant to the guidance of ASC 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
(“ASC 480”)
and ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, that meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815.
As of September 30, 2025
, warrants to purchase approximately
304,982
shares of the Company’s Common Stock are liability-classified and warrants to purchase
15,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock are equity-classified.
Loan Payments Received in Advance
Under the MRP+, eligible borrowers reduced their loan balances as described above. Payments received for loans that were not restructured as of September 30, 2025, were considered to be received in advance as payment was not yet due on the restructured loan contract and are reported in loan payments received in advance in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, partial payments received from borrowers that are not yet applied to the loan balance are reported in loan payments received in advance.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under ASC 805,
Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”) using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisitio
n method of accounting, all assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and applicable non-controlling interests are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Costs incurred associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. The allocation of purchase price requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to tangible assets, any intangible assets identified and non-controlling interests.
Leases
As lessee, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception in accordance with ASC 842,
Leases
(“ASC 842”). Operating lease assets are presented net of accumulated amortization as operating lease right-of-use asset, net and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation for lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset for the duration of the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component when the payments are fixed. As such, variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or rate, such as real estate taxes, utility charges, and other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period, are not included in lease measurement. Renewal options are included in the lease term only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will elect that renewal option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company does not recognize short-term leases that have a term of twelve months or less at lease commencement date as ROU assets or lease liabilities.
8
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement and determined using the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company
uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of a lease when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) interest earned on loans held for investment which is not subject to ASC 606; (2) lease revenues from leases of its vehicle fleet and medallions to licensed New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (“TLC”) drivers; (3) consulting arrangements to lease taxicab vehicles; and (4) other revenues primarily from fees and restructuring activity of the Company’s loan portfolio.
The Company applies the following five-step model in relation to its revenue recognition: (i) identify the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determine whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. In arrangements where another party is involved in providing specified services to a customer, the Company evaluates whether the performance obligation is a promise to transfer services to the customer (as the principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as the agent). In this evaluation, the Company considers if control is obtained of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily responsible for discretion in establishing price. See Note 8 for additional information.
Lease Revenue
The Company generates revenue from the leases of its vehicle fleet and medallions to the licensed TLC drivers, in which the Company acts as the lessor. The Company collects all credit card fares, including tips and surcharges, charged by the point-of-sale system in each taxi. At the end of each week, the Company pays out to the drivers the credit card fares collected
minus
the weekly lease fee and any applicable "pass-through" charges owed by the drivers to third parties, including the TLC. The leases generally are short-term and operate on a weekly basis with drivers renewing each week and payments being settled between the point-of-sale system, the Company, and the drivers on weekly basis. The leases may either (i) specify the weekly rate between medallion cost, vehicle cost, and other fees, or (ii) include all costs in one weekly lease rate agreed upon with a driver, and these fees can vary by lease based on prevailing market rates at the time of agreement. In either scenario, the Company views these contracts as having one performance obligation to provide a fully operational taxicab to a driver over the lease term. The vehicles in the lease agreements are a lease component subject to ASC 842, which the Company has determined to be operating leases based on their short-term nature, and the medallions are subject to ASC 606 as medallions are intangible assets not subject to ASC 842 and therefore a non-lease component. These contracts qualify for a practical expedient available to lessors to combine the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component in accordance with the accounting treatment for the predominant component. The Company elected to apply this practical expedient and therefore has one performance obligation and recognizes all income from these contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as the medallions are the predominant component of the contract. The Company's performance obligation is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided over the weekly lease terms.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is comprised of restructuring fees paid by borrowers as part of the MRP+ program, payments received from the Reserve Fund that are not applied to a borrower’s loan balance, fees received in connection with the Non-MRP+ restructuring and settlements, the resolution of certain litigation and bankruptcy proceedings, and advertising revenue. Other revenue is primarily recognized when cash is received based on the non-accrual status of loans being restructured.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes
(“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis and are stated at the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for net operating losses, capital losses and any tax credit carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. Items considered in determining the Company’s valuation allowance include expectations of future earnings of the appropriate tax character, recent historical financial results, tax planning strategies, the length of statutory carryforward periods and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences.
9
It is the Company's policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management's assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
(“ASU 2023-09”). The new standard requires a company to expand its existing income tax disclosures, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
(“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025 issued ASU 2025-01,
Income Statement —
Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date
(“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 address investor requests for more detailed expense information and require additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, may have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
3. Business Combination and Recapitalization
On April 7, 2025, the Company consummated the Business Combination and related transactions, with the Company surviving the merger, MAC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company
becoming the owner of approximately
83.7
% of the DePalma Companies, with the remaining
16.3
% of the DePalma Companies continuing to be owned by certain limited partners of the DePalma Companies.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company
’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provided for, among other things, a total number of authorized shares of capital stock of
260,000,000
shares, of which
250,000,000
shares were classified as Common Stock and
10,000,000
shares were classified as preferred stock, $
0.0001
par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. The DePalma Companies have been determined to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and therefore the historical financial statements of the DePalma Companies became the basis for the historical financial statements of the Company upon the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the DePalma Companies issuing stock for the net assets of MAC and the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of MAC and the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.
In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparable periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the DePalma Companies’ equityholders in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the equity interests and corresponding member’s capital amounts and earnings per share related to the DePalma Companies’ historical outstanding equity have been retroactively restated as shares of Common Stock issued to the DePalma Companies’ equityholders in connection with the Business Combination. In addition, upon closing of the Business Combination, the Company recognized a
noncontrolling interest reflecting the remaining
16.3
% of the DePalma Companies continuing to be owned by certain limited partners of the DePalma Companies. The noncontrolling interest recognized at closing of the Business Combination reflects the proportionate interest in the precombination carrying amounts of the DePalma Companies’ net assets.
Upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, each share of MAC’s class A common stock (“MAC Class A Common Stock”) and class B common stock (“MAC Class B Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Business Combination was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a share of Common Stock, and each whole warrant of MAC outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Business Combination was cancelled in exchange for a warrant of the Company, with the Company assuming MAC’s obligations under MAC’s existing warrant agreements.
In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination, the Company acquired approximately
83.7
%
of the outstanding equity interests of the DePalma Companies, in exchange for shares of the Common Stock. In exchange for their equity interests in the DePalma Companies, the DePalma Companies’ equityholders received a number of shares of Common Stock determined based on agreed upon valuations of the DePalma Companies’ loan and taxi medallion portfolio, plus a minimum cash amount to meet the working
10
capital
needs of the Company (together the “DePalma Equity Value”), and the per share merger consideration, each as further detailed below and defined within the Business Combination Agreement (in thousands except share and per share amounts).

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurement
(“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (
i.e
., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Under U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy is implemented for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Members’ own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
11
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities and in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
•
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. In addition to using the above inputs in asset or liability valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy that is consistent with ASC 820.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets by levels within the valuation hierarchy (in thousands). Refer to Note 5 for further detail on the industry and geographic concentration:

Used to value MRP+ loan cash flows.
2.
The discount rate is utilized to present value cash flows from loans restructured by the City of New York under the MRP+ program (at a price of $
170,000
). To determine the discount rate,
the Company considers the internal rate of return on the investment, changes in the U.S. Treasury rates to maturity of the loans and a risk premium for the likelihood of whether a loan will be successfully restructured under the MRP+ program.
3.
The most significant inputs include recent Company medallion sale prices (ranging from $
166,206
to $
210,000
), the amount backstopped under the MRP+ ($
170,000
), and certain market prices reported by the TLC (ranging from $
81,667
to $
175,000
). In instances where loans are overcollateralized with an unpaid principal balance less than or equal to $
165,000
as of
September 30, 2025, these loans are determined to have a fair value equal to par. Significant increases or decreases in such factors, or structural and/or regulatory changes to the New York City taxi industry would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
4.
New York City medallion price valuation inputs were determined using a value of $
175,000
for each medallion, calculated as the midpoint between an estimated range, of which the low value was $
165,000
and the high value was $
185,000
. A
5
% discount is applied to the market medallion price for New York City medallions to estimate costs associated with taking ownership of a medallion as the medallions are not directly held by
the Company.

Weighted average medallion prices are calculated based on the total fair value of underlying medallion collateral.

The value of the underlying collateral and thus, the portfolio of loans may be impacted by multiple factors including, but not limited to, general macroeconomic conditions, as well as the state of the taxi industry, loan restructurings, governmental initiatives, and medallion transfers. Without a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of the Company‘s portfolio of loans held for investment, at fair value may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a readily determinable market existed for the loans. The illiquidity of the Company’s loan portfolio may adversely affect the Company
’s ability to dispose of loans at times when it may be advantageous for the Company to liquidate such portfolio. In addition, if the Company were required to liquidate some or all of the loans in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value of such loans. Changes in the various unobservable inputs used to determine valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements than noted in the tables above.

6. Septuagint Acquisition
In February 2019, the DePalma Companies entered into a non-controlling joint venture with a third-party, Kirie Eleison Corp (“KE”), and formed Septuagint Solutions LLC (“Septuagint”). Septuagint is a medallion leasing agent and taxi fleet operating company, licensed by the TLC as an agent/broker for managing New York City taxi medallions. Septuagint was formed by issuance of units to its initial members for no monetary consideration, and was accompanied by funding via a promissory note from the DePalma Companies. Since inception of Septuagint, the DePalma Companies and KE each owned
50
% of Septuagint’s outstanding voting units. Prior to the Septuagint Acquisition Date (as defined below), the DePalma Companies accounted for their investment in Septuagint as an equity method investment for which the DePalma Companies elected the fair value option and reported at a fair value of $
0
since inception of Septuagint.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, on April 7, 2025 (the “Septuagint Acquisition Date”), the Company, via the DePalma Companies, acquired the remaining outstanding equity interests in Septuagint, resulting in Septuagint becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Septuagint Acquisition”). The Company accounted for the Septuagint Acquisition pursuant to the acquisition method under ASC 805. As such, the Company derecognized its existing equity method investment in Septuagint and recognized the assets and liabilities of Septuagint effective April 7, 2025 at their estimated fair values. No gain or loss was recognized on remeasurement of the previously held interest. The Septuagint Acquisition occurred without the transfer of consideration.
The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired in the Septuagint Acquisition. These values are subject to change as the Company performs additional reviews of our assumptions utilized.

Prior to the Septuagint Acquisition Date, the DePalma Companies, as lessor, and Septuagint, as lessee, entered into various lease agreements for taxi medallions and vehicles. The DePalma Companies applied ASC 606 to the medallion leases, which the DePalma Companies were not collecting contractual payments on and therefore determined the medallion lease payments to be not be collectible. The DePalma Companies applied ASC 842 to the vehicle leases which were determined to be sales-type leases. The DePalma Companies determined the vehicle lease contracts to be uncollectible based on Septuagint’s lack of operating history and ability to pay its obligations when due, and therefore continued to recognize the underlying leased vehicles within property and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The DePalma Companies received certain contractual payments on the vehicle leases which were recorded as a deposit liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred from recognition within selling profit or loss on sales-type leases or within lease income until collectibility became probable or a change in circumstance in the contracts occurred. As a result of the Septuagint Acquisition, a change in circumstance in the contracts occurred and the Company derecognized $
8,043,159
of deposit liability as of the Septuagint Acquisition Date, with a corresponding amount recognized within lease revenue from deposit liability on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations
, which represents the settlement of a preexisting relationship accounted for separately from the Septuagint Acquisition.

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company participates in the City of New York’s Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (“WAV”) incentive program. The WAV program incentivizes taxi owners to place wheelchair accessible vehicles into service by providing a rebate credit for incurring the up-front costs to place a wheelchair accessible vehicle into service. Under the WAV program, the Company receives
a $
20,000
rebate credit
for each wheelchair accessible vehicle placed into service. The WAV program also provides for quarterly rebates
of $
625
for each
wheelchair accessible vehicle that completes at l
east
750
trips
within a quarter. The total amount of the rebate credits for the up-front and operational payments is capped at $
30,000
. The Company qualifies for the rebate grants when a WAV is placed in service, or quarterly trips are completed, and an application for rebate is approved.
The Company accounts for the initial placed-in-service rebate credit as a grant related to an asset and as part of the cost basis in determining the carrying value of the asset. The Company accounts for the quarterly rebate credit as a grant related to income and is reported within other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the grant is earned. The Company recognized WAV grant income of $
296,391
and $
450,496
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, r
espectively.
8. Fleet Servicing Agreement
On November 15, 2024, the Company, via the DePalma Companies, entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with a third party (the “Consultant”). The Consultant has historically operated a taxi fleet operation as a TLC agent in New York City, primarily earning revenues from leasing operational taxicab vehicles to end-user drivers under daily and weekly arrangements. The Company and the Consultant entered into the Consulting Agreement primarily to assist the Company in establishing and growing the Company’s taxi fleet operations. The Consultant will provide services generally required to operate and grow commercial taxicab fleet operations, including, but not limited to, servicing vehicles, leasing, insurance, and providing the appropriate personnel on behalf of the Company. In connection with the Consulting Agreement, the DePalma Companies, as lessee, entered into a lease agreement for taxicab business office and garage space to run its taxicab operations (the “Garage Lease”). The Consulting Agreement and Garage Lease each have an initial term of five years, with the Garage Lease having an additional renewal option available to the Company, as further described in Note 9. The Consulting Agreement can be terminated by the Company upon
16
a material breach by the Consultant, or upon mutual agreement by both parties. The Consulting Agreement will consist of two phases (Phase 1 and Phase 2), with Phase 2 commencing at the discretion of the Company. During Phase 1, the Consultant may continue operating and entering into leases with taxicab drivers under its historical practices; however during Phase 2 all new driver leases will be using the Company’s vehicles and medallions, and the Company will be named as lessor on the driver leases. The Company will have control over the Company’s taxicab operations and shall have the right to exercise decision making authority in establishing terms for new driver leases, preparation of business plans, and developing and optimizing management and organizational structure and systems of its operations.
In exchange for the Consultant’s services, the Company
will pay the Consultant a base fee of $
100,000
per month as well as reimburse the Consultant for certain of its operating and other reimbursable expenses. At the end of each month, the Consultant and
the Company will reconcile amounts due to each party, which is determined by the total revenues generated by the taxi fleet operations, less the base fee and the reimbursable operating expenses. The Company determined it is acting as the agent from inception of the Consulting Agreement through September 30, 2025 pursuant to ASC 606, as during this period the Consultant continues to be the party obligated to fulfill the performance obligation of leasing an operational taxicab to the end-user driver. As such, the Company will report all revenues generated by the taxi fleet operations and expenses incurred as a result of the Consulting Agreement on a net basis through September 30, 2025 as fleet servicing fees, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as further detailed below.
Further, the Consultant is entitled to a medallion incentive payment of six (6) NYC taxi medallions per year to be earned on November 15th of each year and payable at the end of the five-year term or upon earlier termination of the Consulting Agreement. In
the event the Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to November 15 of a given year, no medallion consideration will be earned by the Consultant for that year, whether on a pro rata basis or otherwise. The Company ratably recognizes to expense the fair value of the medallions to be earned by the Consultant over the term of the Consulting Agreement within fleet servicing fees, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through September 30, 2025, and recognizes a liability within other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will remeasure such liability at each reporting period based on the fair value of the medallions earned at each period end, with any changes in fair value being reported within earnings. The Company determined the fair value of a medallion for purposes of measuring the medallion incentive liability
to be $
175,000
as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See Note 3 for additional information.
The following table sets forth the components of
the Company’s fleet servicing fees, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

, respectively, which is included within accrued and other current liabilities and prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
9. Commitment and Contingencies
Leases
The Company
, as lessee, has
two
active operating lease arrangements; a Garage Lease and a clubhouse lease acquired in the Septuagint Acqui
sition.
The Garage Lease commenced on
November 15, 2024
and has an initial
five-year
term through November 15, 2029, with an
option to renew
for an additional
five-year
period.
The Garage Lease has initial base rent payments of $
55,000
escalating
1.5
% annually through the expiration date in
November 2034
, which assumes and includes the exercise of the five-year renewal option.
The clubhouse lease has an initial
five-year
term through May 2027 with an
option to renew
for an additional
five-year
period.
The clubhouse lease has escalating lease payments of $
7,500
to $
9,786
per month through the expiration date in
May 2032
, which assumes and includes the exercise of the five-year renewal option.
The Company
had
no
active leases, as lessee, during the
nine months ended September 30, 2024.
As further detailed in Note 2, effective upon the Septuagint Acquisition, the Company, as lessor, has active leases of its vehicle fleet and medallions to licensed drivers. The driver leases generally are short-term and operate on a weekly basis with drivers renewing
17
each week. The vehicles in the lease agreements are a lease component subject to ASC 842, which the Company has determined to be operating leases based on their short-term nature, and the medallions are subject to ASC 606 as medallions are intangible assets not subject to ASC 842 and therefore a non-lease component. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient available to lessors to combine the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component in accordance with the accounting treatment for the predominant component and therefore, the Company recognizes all income from these contracts in accordance with ASC 606 within lease revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The table below presents certain information related to

Other Commitment and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
had
no
unfunded loan commitments. In the normal course of business,
the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be estimated, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company
expects the risk of loss under these contracts to be remote.

12. Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that may recognize revenues and incur expenses for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and to assess performance. In accordance with ASC 280,
Segment Reporting,
the Company
’s CODM has been identified as the
Chief Executive Officer
.
The Company
has
two
operating and reportable segments: (1) specialty finance and (2) fleet operations. The specialty finance segment is primarily comprised of owning and servicing loans to generate interest income and other revenues. The fleet operations segment is primarily comprised of operating a taxi fleet and leasing taxicab vehicles and medallions to drivers to generate lease revenues.
The Company also retains various other corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments.
The CODM assesses financial conditions and segment operating results to allocate resources and assess segment profitability consistent with its significant accounting policies and results presented within these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including net loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and total assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the CODM reviews significant segment expenses consisting of those reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The CODM uses segment net income (loss) to evaluate segment operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions.

13. Income Taxes
The Company's tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter.
The provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes in the US, New York, and New York City.
On April 7, 2025, the Company consummated the Business Combination, resulting in a non-taxable transaction in accordance with Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A portion of the non-corporate members of the DePalma Companies of approximately
83.7
% contributed their ownership of the DePalma Companies in exchange for common stock of the Company. Following the Business Combination, the Company, a corporation, holds an
83.7
%
ownership interest in the DePalma Companies partnerships. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company is required to record deferred income taxes related to the difference between
22
the
tax basis received and the Company’s book basis in the Company’s
83.7
% ownership interest in the DePalma Companies partnerships.
Further, the shareholders of MAC contributed
100
% of their ownership to the Company in exchange for common stock. Going forward, the Company will file a consolidated tax return with MAC as a wholly owned subsidiary.
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $
1.7
million and $
51.0
million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025
, respectively, and $
0
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
, respectively. The effective tax rate, including discrete items, was
430.2
% and (
3,781.0
%) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025
, respectively, and
0
% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The fluctuation in effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024 is primarily driven by the consummation of the Business Combination on April 7, 2025, which resulted in one-time adjustments of $
50.6
million in tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, is negative, driven by tax expense recorded against a year-to-date pre-tax loss.
The difference between the tax basis and the book basis in both DePalma Companies partnerships was primarily driven by temporary differences within the DePalma Companies partnerships arising from specific assets and liabilities. The temporary differences generated prior to the Business Combination related to both taxi medallion amortization and unrealized gains and losses on loans held for investment. These items resulted in a net deferred tax liability of $
52.0
million, which was recorded as a one-time charge to the provision for income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset related to its wholly owned subsidiary, MAC. The asset relates to start-up costs of MAC which were offset by a full valuation allowance. The Company reversed the valuation allowance of $
1.4
million as a one-time adjustment. The change in ownership of MAC triggers a Section 382 limitation on the use of its built in deduction. The limitation is in excess of the allowable deduction of the start up costs over a
15 year
period.
Collectively, the total one-time adjustments for the second quarter was $
50.6
million.
In addition to the one-time charge, the Company recorded its tax provision for the period September 30, 2025. The Company recorded a tax expense of $
0.4
million with an associated annualized effective tax rate of (
30.3
)%, excluding the impact of discrete charges. The Company, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, MAC, will file consolidated tax returns for US federal, New York State, and New York City jurisdictions. The filings will include the Company’s newly acquired
83.7
% interest in the DePalma Companies, yielding a combined statutory tax rate of
33.7
%. The effective tax rate is primarily driven by substantial first-quarter losses from the DePalma Companies. Due to their prior partnership structure, these losses are disallowed for tax benefit purposes, contributing approximately (
122.4
)% to the annual effective tax rate. Furthermore, projected pre-tax income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the DePalma Companies is not subject to tax, further impacting the annual effective tax rate by
56.6
%.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits as part of the income tax provision and include accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To date, the Company has not recognized any interest and penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
, nor has it accrued for or made payments for interest and penalties associated with income tax liabilities. The Company has
no
unrecognized income tax benefits as of
September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other implemented through 2027. The Company does not anticipate the bill will have a material impact on the financial statements.
14. Related Party Transactions
Prior to the Business Combination, the DePalma Companies have, at times, provided advances to the Company for operating and registration costs which are reported within due from related party on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As further detailed above, the Company’s operations are managed by the Manager pursuant to the MSA. Pursuant to the MSA, the Manager provides certain management services to the Company starting upon the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. After the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the MSA will renew automatically for an additional five year period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the MSA. The Manager receives a management fee each fiscal quarter calculated as the product of (i)
0.375
% multiplied by (ii) the Company’s adjusted net assets.
The MSA provides that the Company will reimburse
23
the Manager for (i) various expenses incurred by the Manager or its officers, and agents on the Company’s behalf, including costs of legal, tax, accounting, consulting, auditing, lobbying, regulatory, administrative and other similar services rendered for the Company by providers retained by the Manager and (ii) the compensation paid to specified officers of the Company and the cost of liability insurance to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers. The management fees are reported within management fee payable - related party on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as management fee expense - related party on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
15. Stockholders’ Equity

304,982
are liability-classified warrants (together the “Warrants”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $
11.50
per share and may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The
Warrants will expire
five years
from the consummation of the Business Combination.
16. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company” refer to Marblegate Capital Corporation, however historical references to “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company” may refer to the historical operations of the DePalma Companies prior to the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 7, 2025, including the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the DePalma Companies and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from management’s expectations as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We are a vertically integrated specialty finance lender and taxi fleet operator with operations primarily focused in the New York City taxi medallion market. We are focused on acquiring, restructuring and owning New York City taxi medallions and medallion loans collateralized by New York City taxi medallions, as well as redeploying such medallions over time into the New York City taxi medallion lending and fleet operations market. Our core philosophy has been to work with key stakeholders in the New York City taxi industry to help facilitate an industry-wide restructuring of historical medallion lending practices and to standardize a key piece of the New York City mobility infrastructure. Our goal is to achieve superior risk adjusted returns for our shareholders by maintaining a focus on capital preservation, current revenues and capital appreciation. Accordingly, we regularly explore potential complementary business opportunities, including potential mergers and acquisitions. We will continue to act in a manner consistent with maximizing the underlying value of a medallion and improving the health of the taxicab industry.
We were originally formed by Marblegate Acquisition Corporation (“MAC”), a Delaware corporation and special purpose acquisition company, on February 2, 2023 to be the surviving company in connection with MAC's initial business combination (the "Business Combination") with DePalma Acquisition I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma I”), and DePalma Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma II,” and together with DePalma I, the “DePalma Companies”).
On April 7, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the Business Combination contemplated by that certain agreement and plan of merger, dated as of February 14, 2023, as amended (the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among us,
MAC, Marblegate Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), MAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of us, and the DePalma Companies, pursuant to which MAC agreed to combine with the DePalma Companies in a series of transactions that resulted in us becoming a publicly traded company and the surviving company. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, on April 7, 2025, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, we and the DePalma Companies effected a series of reorganization transactions, resulting in the Company becoming the owner of approximately 83.7% of the DePalma Companies, with the remaining 16.3% continuing to be owned by certain limited partners of the DePalma Companies.
The DePalma Companies were formed in February 2018 and, since inception, have primarily invested in New York City taxi medallions and fleet operations, and loans secured by taxi medallions. Prior to the Business Combination, the DePalma Companies were managed and directly owned by their respective members, which in turn were the DePalma Companies' equityholders, managed by the Manager. The DePalma Companies were determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, and therefore the historical financial statements of the DePalma Companies became the basis for the historical financial statements of the Company upon the closing of the Business Combination. Our operations and business plan will continue to be consistent with the historical operations and objectives of the DePalma Companies.
Our operations are managed by the Manager pursuant to a certain management services agreement (the “MSA”). Pursuant to the MSA, the Manager provides certain management services including, but not limited to, managing our day-to-day business and operations.
In February 2019, the DePalma Companies entered into a non-controlling joint venture with Kirie Eleison Corp, an unaffiliated strategic partner, and formed Septuagint Solutions LLC (“Septuagint”), in which the DePalma Companies held a 50% interest. Septuagint is a fully functioning medallion-leasing agent and taxi fleet operating company based in New York City, licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (“TLC”) as an agent/broker for managing NYC taxi medallions, formed for the purpose of operating and servicing taxicab medallions. The formation of Septuagint also allowed the DePalma Companies to
25
lease the medallions for its fleet operation business. Historically, given the non-controlling nature of the relationship between the DePalma Companies and Septuagint, Septuagint’s financial statements have not been consolidated; however on April 7, 2025, we, via the DePalma Companies, acquired all outstanding equity interests in Septuagint, resulting in Septuagint becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the DePalma Companies and us obtaining a controlling financial interest in Septuagint (the "Septuagint Acquisition").
On November 15, 2024, we, via the DePalma Companies, entered into a non-exclusive servicing agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with an unrelated taxi fleet (the “Consultant”) to provide operational support and access to physical garage and office space for its medallion leasing business. The DePalma Companies entered into the Consulting Agreement primarily to assist in establishing and growing its taxi fleet operations. In connection with the Consulting Agreement, the DePalma Companies, as lessee, entered into a lease agreement for its taxicab business and garage space to run its taxicab operations. The Consulting Agreement and garage lease each have an initial term of five years, with the garage lease having an additional renewal option available to the DePalma Companies.
We believe we are the largest New York City taxi medallion lender with a medallion loan portfolio collateralized by approximately 1,659 New York City taxi medallions as of September 30, 2025. In addition to our ownership of medallion loans, we believe we are also the largest owner of New York City taxi medallions, with 2,123 Owned Medallions as of September 30, 2025. Further, as of September 30, 2025, we have a managed taxi fleet of approximately 642 vehicles and 706 active drivers.
Over time, we plan to transition our portfolio of non-accruing loans and Owned Medallions by selling medallions, primarily with seller financing attached, which will have the impact of increasing interest income from loans. Consistent with our strategy over the last several years, and in response to industry dynamics, we may choose to lease Owned Medallions until sufficient market demand exists to execute a subsequent sale either for cash or with seller financing. We intend to conduct these activities with the primary purposes of protecting the value of the original investment while enabling us to achieve our objectives of capital appreciation and interest income from loans.
On April 10, 2025, our common stock and warrants began trading on the OTCQX market under the symbols “MGTE” and “MGTEW”, respectively. As a result of the Business Combination, we may need to continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
Financial Overview
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated total revenues of $12.0 million and $34.3 million, respectively, and $5.4 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Income (loss) from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was ($1.2) million and $1.4 million, respectively, and $1.8 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Other (expense) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.6 million and ($2.8) million, respectively, and $7.2 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was ($1.3) million and ($52.3) million, respectively, and $9.0 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Through September 30, 2025, we have received approximately $44.9 million of revenue from certain loans subject to the Medallion Relief Program+ established in March 2022 (“MRP+”), of which 30% related to payments made from a New York City-funded deficiency credit support mechanism (the "Reserve Fund"). As of September 30, 2025, we had loans held for investment, at fair value of $258.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had gross collections of $24.2 million and $27.6 million, respectively, where 33% and 41% of such collections were related to payments made on account of restructurings or resolutions of medallion loans.
Gross collections decreased by approximately 13% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year and was primarily attributable to a decrease in restructurings of Non-MRP+ large borrowers, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we realized a year-over-year increase of $0.04 million in regular monthly payments. Non-MRP+ large borrower payments increased by $1.16 million due to restructuring efforts that improved performance in the Non MRP+ NYC cohort, while MRP+ payments decreased by $1.1 million as a result of borrower payoffs and foreclosure of defaulted medallions. Regular monthly collections remained steady at $16.2 million. The 13% decrease in gross collections during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily attributable to reduced restructuring activity among Non-MRP+ borrowers.
With respect to delinquencies, as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the percentage of New York City loans by medallion count in default were 26% and 33%, respectively. The decrease in delinquencies at September 30, 2025 was largely due to the continued foreclosure of non-accruing loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as newly originated medallion loans.
26
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we completed restructurings of loans collateralized by 84 and 154 New York City medallions, respectively. In comparison, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed restructuring of loans collateralized by 18 and 100 New York City medallions, respectively. The decrease in restructurings period over period was due to a reduction in the number of New York City non-performing loans requiring restructuring.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we foreclosed on 19 and 62 medallions, respectively, and 40 and 239 medallions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in the pace of foreclosures was due to the reduced size of the non-accruing loan pool as we have foreclosed on a significant portion of the pool's non-accruing loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, four large borrowers accounted for 182 of the 239 foreclosed medallions, which lead to a significant decline period-over-period.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Our performance and future success depends on several factors that present significant opportunities, but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section entitled “
Risk Factors
.”
Our balance sheet consists substantially of taxi medallions and loans secured by taxicab medallions, which historically have been associated with higher than average delinquency rates and defaults, as substantially all of these loans were acquired after they had defaulted. As of September 30, 2025, we held $321.4 million in aggregate principal of New York City taxicab medallion loans, of which approximately 17% of Non-MRP+ loans by medallion count were in default, compared to 65% as of December 31, 2024. Defaulted loans may result in foreclosure or sale at auction of the medallions securing such loans, which may result in us collecting less interest income over the original stated life of the loan
.
For many loans in default, we may attempt to restructure the debt to bring it out of default or attempt to recover meaningful amounts in other ways, however these methods may not be successful. If we fail to realize enough value on loans in default to cover the price we paid to acquire the loans in the secondary market, then our results of operations could be adversely impacted. The actual rates of delinquencies, defaults, repossessions, and losses on these loans could be more dramatically affected by a general economic downturn. Our taxi medallions are reported at cost and evaluated for impairment. As of September 30, 2025, we held an aggregate of 2,293 taxicab medallions with a carrying value of $356.5 million, compared to 2,210 taxicab medallions with a carrying value of $345.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The value of our taxicab medallion and loan portfolio, and the taxi industry in general, is susceptible to risk of loss resulting from, including but not limited to, changes in taxicab industry regulations that result in the issuance of additional medallions or increases in the expenses involved in operating a medallion. Our business is heavily concentrated in medallion collateralized lending and owned medallions, including leasing medallions to fleets or other drivers. As a result, we are more susceptible to fluctuations and risks particular to the New York City taxicab industry than a more diversified company. For example, our business is particularly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions that affect the U.S. economy, travel and tourism, as well as those that affect the City of New York. During periods of economic slowdown, delinquencies, defaults, repossessions, and losses generally increase, and may reduce discretionary spending in areas such as recreation and tourism, which would have a detrimental effect on the taxicab industry, which would in turn impact the value of our taxicab medallions. In addition, changing consumer and driver preferences about modes of transportation and/or other alternatives for drivers (such as ride-share) could have an impact on borrowers’ ability to service debt on a medallion collateralized loan, which could impact the value of our owned medallions and the medallions underlying the loans and the ability of borrowers to pay off medallion loans, both of which would adversely affect our results of operations.
MRP+
As of September 30, 2025, 37% of our current medallion loans based on the number of New York City taxi medallions that are either collateral to medallion loans or that we own, have participated in the MRP+, which is a program pursuant to which deficiency support can be imposed on the principal balance of a medallion loan meeting certain criteria that was established to benefit participating New York City taxi medallion loan lenders by providing municipal credit support in the event of defaults by eligible and participating taxi medallion owners.
As part of this initiative, the Reserve Fund was established in 2022. Initially funded with $49 million, the City of New York’s obligations to replenish the Reserve Fund are subject to and dependent upon appropriations being made from time to time by the New York City Council for such purpose. Any funding in excess of the initial $49 million is not legally required and is not committed by the City of New York. Further, such excess funding is subject to future appropriations by the New York City Council. The initial funding amount may fall short and, until the program is closed and all participants and statistics are quantified, we are unable to estimate how long the initial $49 million grant will last. The Reserve Fund balance was approximately $32 million and $37 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Under the MRP+, eligible medallion loans with a principal balance of $200,000 or more will be reduced to an initial principal balance of $200,000, and further reduced to $170,000 per medallion (after a $30,000 per medallion principal reduction payment in the form of a grant from the Reserve Fund). Existing medallion loans with a principal balance of $200,000 or less will have a principal balance equal to the existing principal balance reduced by (i) $30,000 per medallion and (ii) further reduced by 5% of the post-paydown principal balance per medallion resulting from (i) above. In no event will the principal balance of any eligible medallion
27
loan exceed $170,000 per medallion. A reduction in the outstanding principal balance to the restructured principal balance is recorded as a write-down of principal in which no cash is received, at which time a loss is recorded based on the reduction in principal balance. The fair value of loans before and after entering the MRP+ program have seen minimal immediate change in fair value due to our fair value accounting policies for MRP+ and Non-MRP+ loans and the historical valuations of underlying NYC medallion collateral for the period of time in which the MRP+ program has existed.
Changes in Interest Rates
Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to the interest income generated by our medallion loans. In addition, the value of our MRP+ loans is determined by applying a discount to the anticipated future cash flows of the underlying loans. The two factors determining the discount are the movement in interest rates and a risk premium for likelihood of transaction close. A change in interest rates may impact the valuation of MRP+ loans.
Our profitability may be directly affected by interest rate levels and fluctuations in interest rates. As interest rates change, our gross interest rate spread on loans will either increase or decrease because the rates potentially charged on future seller financings provided in medallion sales are limited by market and competitive conditions, restricting our ability to pass on increased interest costs to the borrower.
Changes in interest rates historically have not had an identifiable impact on our interest income, gross income spread, or our ability to pass on interest costs to the borrower. The majority of our loan portfolio historically has been non-accruing and has not made regular interest payments. The majority of our current interest income is from the MRP+ loans, which have a fixed interest rate of 7.3%. Additionally, we currently have no external borrowings, so fluctuations in interest rates have not historically impacted gross income spread or interest expense.
As the impact of interest rates has generally not been material to our historical operating results, we have not entered into any interest rate swaps or other hedging transactions to mitigate such risks. However, we may do so in the future if interest rates increase and our exposure to interest rates becomes more significant. Furthermore, with respect to our assets that are not MRP+ loans, which consist of New York City Non-MRP+ loans, approximately 17% of which are in default as of September 30, 2025, we believe that we are able to mitigate the impact from any rising interest rates as we are generally able to pass on such increased interest rate costs to the borrowers. For example, with respect to such assets, we generally expect to either refinance the defaulted loans into new medallion loans or restructure the existing loans with new loan terms, in each case at a rate that would reflect the then current market interest rate. As a result, we believe that we have the flexibility to adjust our interest rate exposure with respect to some of our asset portfolio.
While we continue to monitor the interest rate environment and seek to mitigate the impact of interest rates, including potentially implementing any market based hedging strategies, we cannot provide assurance that the impact of changes in interest rates can be successfully mitigated.
Key Components of Results of Operations
We have historically operated and managed our business in two reportable segments, specialty finance and fleet operations. The following discussion of results of operations are based on each of our reportable segments for the periods presented.
Revenue
Our revenue has historically been primarily comprised of interest income from the taxicab medallion loans and any interest earned from cash on hand. All of the medallion loans are collateralized by one or more taxicab medallions, with a significant portion of the loans participating in the MRP+ program. These loans are nonrecourse loans that do not carry a personal guarantee, but rather have credit support from funds provided by the City of New York. Medallion loans that do not participate in the MRP+ program are often further secured by personal guarantees and, in some cases, collateralized with additional collateral such as real estate of the borrowers. Our other revenue has historically been comprised of restructuring fees borrowers are requested to pay as part of the MRP+ program, payments received from the Reserve Fund as they are not contractual payments made by the borrowers, fees received in connection with Non-MRP+ restructurings and settlements, and the resolution of certain litigation and bankruptcy proceedings, as discussed further below.
Effective with the Septuagint Acquisition, our revenues also consist of lease revenues from the leases of our vehicle fleet and medallions to licensed TLC drivers, in which we act as the lessor. These leases generally are short-term and operate on a weekly basis with drivers renewing each week and payments being settled between the point-of-sale system, us, and the drivers on weekly basis. The leases may specify the weekly rate between medallion cost, vehicle cost, and other fees, or the lease will include all costs in one weekly lease rate agreed upon with a driver, and these fees can vary by lease based on prevailing market rates at the time of agreement. We account for these lease and non-lease components as a combined component in accordance with ASC 606.
28
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses primarily comprise of: (i) service fee expenses, consisting of fees paid to our third-party servicer, Field Point Servicing, LLC (“Field Point”), for servicing our medallion loans; (ii) professional fees, consisting of fees for third-party professional services, including consulting, legal, accounting and lobbying; (iii) depreciation expense; (iv) management fee expenses, consisting of fees charged by the Manager under the MSA for ongoing management services; (v) general and administrative fees, consisting of certain fees for third-party professional services, medallion administration costs, taxi vehicle insurance and other vehicle related costs, and other general and administrative expenses; and (vi) fleet servicing fees, consisting of net expenses incurred as a result of the Consulting Agreement.
We expect our expenses, in particular professional fees and general and administrative fees, to increase for the foreseeable future as a result of operating as a public company, thereby requiring compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. As a result, we expect an increase in legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.
Other Income
We treat the loans purchased as a pool of loans in our books and records. Our purchases of taxicab medallion loans have been transacted at significant discounts to par value and we have been working to resolve those loans. Resolution of the loans to date have resulted from (i) loan principal payments, at agreed upon amounts, either at or below par, and/or (ii) foreclosure and possession of collateral, the taxi medallions. In either case, we recognize a gain or loss, which is the difference between the sale proceeds of a loan, or collateral value less foreclosure costs in a foreclosure, and the carrying value. Gains on loans held for investment may derive from principal payments in cash or collateral that exceed the carrying value of the principal amount that was relieved. Losses on loans held for investment may occur upon a reduction in principal balance in a restructuring, including when loans enter the MRP+ program. For foreclosed loans, the difference between fair value of the collateral less foreclosure costs compared to the loan carrying value is recorded as a gain or loss. We record changes in fair value on loans held for investment as a result of changes in the fair value of loans collateralized by taxi medallions, as applicable, which are primarily generated through changes in medallion pricing and changes in unpaid principal balances on outstanding loans. Prior period changes in fair value have been included in the carrying value of such loans up until foreclosure.
We also primarily recognize within other income gains or losses from disposals of medallions, changes in fair value of our warrant liabilities, and income earned from the City of New York’s Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (“WAV”) incentive program.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes in the US, New York, and New York City.
On April 7, 2025, we consummated the Business Combination, resulting in a non-taxable transaction in accordance with Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A portion of the non-corporate members of the DePalma Companies of approximately 83.7% contributed their ownership of the DePalma Companies in exchange for common stock of the Company. Following the Business Combination, we, a corporation, hold an 83.7% ownership interest in the DePalma Companies partnerships. In accordance with ASC 740, we are required to record deferred income taxes related to the difference between the tax basis received and the book basis in our 83.7% ownership interest in the DePalma Companies partnerships. The difference between the tax basis and the book basis in both partnerships was primarily driven by temporary differences within the DePalma Companies partnerships arising from specific assets and liabilities. The temporary differences generated prior to the transaction related to both taxi medallion amortization and unrealized gains and losses on loans held for investment. These items, along with others resulting during the periods presented, resulted in a net deferred tax liability and provision for incomes taxes of $51.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Prior to the Business Combination, the DePalma Companies, were treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and therefore were not subject to federal, state, or local income taxes. Accordingly, there was no provision for income taxes recorded in the historical financial statements prior to the Business Combination.
The Company, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, MAC, will file consolidated tax returns for US federal, New York State, and New York City jurisdictions. The filings will include our newly acquired 83.7% interest in the DePalma Companies.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Interest income decreased by $0.6 million, or 14%. This decrease was due to a $0.3 million decrease that was driven by lower interest income on cash balances due to lower cash balances and a decrease of $0.6 million in interest from MRP+ loans due to lower outstanding principal, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in interest from Non-MRP+ loans due to loan restructurings that increased loan performance.
Lease revenue increased by $6.9 million. This increase was due to the recognition of Septuagint lease revenues during the period presented.
Other revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 12%. This increase was due to higher payments received from the Reserve Fund resulting from a higher amount of MRP+ loans in default during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Interest income decreased by $1.5 million, or 13%. This decrease was due to a $0.8 million decrease that was driven by lower interest income on cash due to lower cash balances, and a decrease of $1.1 million in interest from MRP+ loans due to lower outstanding principal, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in interest from Non-MRP+ loans due to loan restructurings that increased loan performance.
Lease revenue increased by $12.1 million. This increase was due to the Septuagint Acquisition and recognition of Septuagint lease revenues during the period presented.
Lease revenue from deposit liability income increased by $8.0 million. This increase was due to the Septuagint Acquisition and derecognition of the existing deposit liability relating to former lease contracts with Septuagint prior to the Septuagint Acquisition. This is a non-recurring item.
Other revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 8%. This decrease was due to lower payments received from the Reserve Fund resulting from a lower amount of MRP+ loans in default during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Provision for income taxes increased by $1.7 million. This increase was due to the recognition of corporate income taxes subsequent to the Business Combination. Prior to the Business Combination, the DePalma Companies were treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and therefore were not subject to federal, state, or local income taxes. Accordingly, there was no provision for income taxes recorded in the historical financial statements prior to the Business Combination.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Provision for income taxes increased by $51.0 million. This increase was due to the recognition of corporate deferred taxes, primarily as a result the acquisition of approximately 83.7% of the DePalma Companies in the Business Combination. Prior to the Business Combination, the DePalma Companies were treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and therefore were not subject to federal, state, or local income taxes. Accordingly, there was no provision for income taxes recorded in the historical financial statements prior to the Business Combination.
Segment Results of Operations
We operate our business as two operating and reportable segments: specialty finance and fleet operations. For additional information about our segments, see Note 12 in the section entitled
“Segment Information”
as referred to in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The following tables summarizes our segment results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 5%. This decrease was due to a decrease of $0.6 million in interest from MRP+ loans due to lower outstanding principal, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in interest from Non-MRP+ loans due to loan restructurings that increased loan performance and higher payments received from the Reserve Fund resulting from an increase in MRP+ loans in default during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Fleet operations revenue increased by $7.1 million. This increase was due to a $7 million increase due to the recognition of lease revenues as a result of the Septuagint Acquisition.
All other revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 87%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income received on cash balances during the period.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 9%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in interest from MRP+ loans due to lower outstanding principal, a decrease of $0.6 million in other revenue due lower payments received from the Reserve Fund resulting from a decrease in MRP+ loans in default during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in interest from Non-MRP+ loans due to loan restructurings that increased loan performance.
Fleet operations revenue increased by $20.4 million. This increase was primarily comprised of $8.0 million due to the derecognition of the deposit liability, and $12.1 million was due to an the recognition of lease revenues, each as a result of the Septuagint Acquisition. The derecognition of the deposit liability is a non-recurring item.
All other revenue decreased by $0.8 million, or 73%. This decrease was due to a decrease in interest income received on cash balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance operating expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 49%. This increase was due to higher fees from our loan servicer, Field Point, during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Fleet operations operating expenses increased by $6.0 million, or 401%. This increase was primarily comprised of $4.7 million due to the consolidation of Septuagint’s fleet operating costs, $1.8 million due to costs related to the Consulting Agreement that commenced in November 2024, and $0.3 million due to an increase in depreciation expense, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in professional fees.
All other operating expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 338%. This increase was due to costs related to the closing of the Business Combination, public company expenses, and the execution of the MSA, which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance operating expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 25%. This increase was due to an increase in professional fees of $0.9 million.
Fleet operations operating expenses increased by $11.8 million, or 369%. This increase was primarily comprised of $7.1 million due to the Septuagint Acquisition and consolidation of Septuagint’s fleet operating costs, $4.2 million due to costs incurred in the Consulting Agreement that commenced in November 2024, and $0.7 million due to an increase in depreciation expense.
All other operating expenses increased by $9.2 million, or 218%. This increase was due to costs related to the closing of the Business Combination, public company expenses, and the execution of the MSA, which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance net income decreased by $4.6 million, or 41%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gains on loans held for investment during the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $5.8 million, and an increase in operating expenses of $0.6 million, partially offset by an increase income tax benefit of $2.1 million.
Fleet operations net income increased by $3.0 million, or 207%. This increase was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $1.6 million, as well as a net increase of $1.1 million due to the consolidation of Septuagint’s operations.
36
All other net loss increased by $8.7 million, or 1,443%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in provision for income taxes of $5.4 million, as well as an increase in costs of $3.1 million related to the closing of the Business Combination, public company expenses, and the execution of the MSA which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared with the Same Period in 2024
Specialty finance net loss increased by $44.7 million, or 226%.This increase was primarily due to an increase in provision for income taxes of $30.7 million as a result of the Business Combination, an increase in losses on loans held for investment of $11.7 million, a decrease in interest income and other revenues of $1.4 million, and an increase in professional fees of $0.9 million.
Fleet operations net loss increased by $8.7 million, or 281%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in provision for income taxes of $17.7 million as a result of the Business Combination, partially offset by an $8.0 million increase in lease revenue due to the derecognition of the deposit liability, which is a non-recurring item.
All other net loss increased by $12.4 million, or 391%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in provision for income taxes of $2.5 million as a result of the Business Combination, an increase costs related to the closing of the Business Combination and public company expenses of $5.5 million, the execution of the MSA which resulted in a management fee expense of $3.7 million, and a decrease in interest income of $0.8 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had available cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million and $35.2 million, respectively, available to fund our operations. The decrease of $24.6 million was primarily due to the payment of certain non-recurring MAC transaction costs of $11.6 million paid at closing of the Business Combination, investments in taxi vehicles of $20.7 million, as well as other costs incurred in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and public company costs. This decrease was partially offset by loan repayments of $7.9 million.
The taxi industry is competitive and there are uncertainties around our cash flows, including those from our loan portfolio. We compete with other established fleets, technology enabled ride sharing apps, and public transit among other competitors.
Based on our current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash provided by operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities
The decrease to net cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million, or 112%. This decrease was primarily a result of the Septuagint acquisition and consolidation of Septuagint’s fleet operating costs, including the derecognition of the existing $8.0 million deposit liability relating to former lease contracts with Septuagint prior to the Septuagint Acquisition, as well as an increase in fleet servicing fees incurred in cash of $3.3 million.
Investing Activities
The decrease to net cash used in investing activities was $20.2 million, or 239%. This decrease was primarily due to the purchases of taxi vehicles during the period of $20.7 million.
37
Financing Activities
The decrease to net cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million. This decrease was due to the repayment of $3.7 million of MAC promissory notes that were outstanding at closing of the Business Combination, as well as the payment of MAC’s deferred underwriting fees, legal costs and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination of $8.0 million. These are non-recurring costs. This decrease was partially offset by capital distributions made to the DePalma Companies’ equityholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 in the amount of $15 million.
Future sources and uses of liquidity
Our assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans held for investment, at fair value, property and equipment, and intangible assets which, other than cash and cash equivalents, are generally not considered readily liquid assets by nature.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our degree of success in collecting contractual payments on MRP+ loans, reperforming, restructuring or resolving Non-MRP+ loans, sales of medallions (which may include seller financing), our ability to scale the profitability of our taxi fleet including growth in volume and collections of medallion and vehicle leases, general economic conditions, future market growth and competition in the mobility market.
In the future, we may be required or choose to seek additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, we cannot assure you that these measures and our cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and to meet our commitments in the future.
As of September 30, 2025, we have no long-term commitments other than those pursuant to our operating lease arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and our cash flows will be affected.
An accounting policy or estimate is considered to be critical or significant if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 “
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
,” of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value
Our loans held for investment are generally collateralized by taxi medallions in various jurisdictions, primarily New York City. We account for our loans held for investment using the fair value option and by applying the fair value principles of ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement
. Our loans held for investment are determined to be Level 3 measurements pursuant to the fair value hierarchy as the valuation requires inputs that are significant and unobservable. Our MRP+ loan portfolio is primarily performing and valued by using a discount rate to present value cash flows from loans restructured by the City of New York under the MRP+ program (at a price of $170,000). To determine the discount rate, we consider the internal rate of return on the investment, changes in the US Treasury rates to maturity of the loans and a risk premium for the likelihood of whether a loan will be successfully restructured under the MRP+ program. Our Non-MRP+ loan portfolio is primarily nonperforming and valued at the lesser of unpaid principal balance and the medallion or other collateral value attached to the loan, less a discount applied to the collateral value to estimate costs associated with taking ownership of the collateral. The most significant inputs in determining the medallion collateral value include our recent medallion sale prices, the amount backstopped by the City of New York under the MRP+, and certain market prices reported by the TLC. As of September 30, 2025, our New York City medallion collateral value was determined to be $175,000
38
for each medallion, calculated as the midpoint between an estimated range, of which the low value was $165,000 and the high value was $185,000.
Significant increases or decreases in such factors, or structural and/or regulatory changes to the New York City taxi industry would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The value of the underlying collateral and thus, the portfolio of loans may be impacted by multiple factors including, but not limited to, general macroeconomic conditions and state of the taxi industry, loan restructurings, governmental initiatives, and medallion transfers. Without a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio of loans held for investment, at fair value may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a readily determinable market existed for the loans. The illiquidity of our loan portfolio may adversely affect our ability to dispose of loans at times when it may be advantageous to liquidate such portfolio. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of the loans in the portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value of such loans. Changes in the various unobservable inputs used to determine valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements than noted in the tables above.
Intangible Assets
Our taxi medallions are indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
. Costs incurred for renewal of taxi medallions are included within general and administrative expenses.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead tested for impairment. We evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on October 1st of each year or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
We evaluate our taxi medallions as a single unit of accounting for purposes of testing for impairment, as taxi medallions are homogeneous assets, which are interchangeable and have identical characteristics. In our evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, a qualitative assessment is typically performed prior to performing the quantitative analysis. If, after assessing the qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is compared to its carrying amount and if the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized. Determining the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, notably including the determination of anticipated impacts of changes in regulatory and macroeconomic factors impacting our industry, as well as the use of limited readily available market information of third party medallion transfers, including those reported by the TLC. No impairment losses were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 in the section entitled
“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recent Accounting Pronouncements”
as referred to in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a discussion about accounting pronouncements recently issued not yet adopted.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, allowing them to delay the adoption of those standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until the earlier of the date we are no longer an emerging growth company or we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, following the Business Combination, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make common stock less attractive to investors.
39
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUA
LITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. We consider the principal types of risk to be risk of potential adverse changes to the value of financial instruments because of changes in market conditions, such as interest and currency rate movements and volatility in commodity or security prices, liquidity risk arising in the general funding of our trading activities, as well as inflation risk on asset values and increased costs. We are also impacted by general macroeconomic conditions and state of the taxi industry, governmental initiatives and medallion transfers. Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits, and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.
In addition, the illiquidity of portions of our medallion loans, medallions and related assets may adversely affect our ability to dispose of them at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate such assets. If we were required to liquidate some or all of our assets, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value of such assets.
We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. However, in periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase if we were to conduct any external borrowings in the future, which would reduce our net interest income. As such, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our interest income.
ITEM 4. CONTRO
LS AND PROCEDURES.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
40
PART II – OTHER IN
FORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL P
ROCEEDINGS.
We are currently involved in various legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business, including collection matters with respect to certain loans. To the extent relevant, we intend to vigorously defend any outstanding claims and pursue our legal rights. Although the results of proceedings in which we are involved cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of our management and based upon the advice of legal counsel there is no proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of management threatened, which in the event of an adverse decision could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK F
ACTORS.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (our “Form 10-K”). The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Our securities are thinly traded and largely illiquid.
Our shares of common stock and our warrants are currently quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQX). Although it is the highest-level platform on the OTC Markets, it is not a national exchange, which can prevent institutional investors from trading in our securities, and results in a lower frequency of trades and trading volume than securities quoted on a national exchange. Continued trading on the OTCQX may also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future due to the decreased liquidity of our securities and other restrictions that certain investors have for investing in securities not traded on a national exchange. No assurance can be given as to (i) the likelihood that an active market for our securities will develop and be sustained, (ii) the liquidity of any such market, (iii) the ability of our securityholders to sell their securities or (iv) the prices that our securityholders may obtain for any of our securities that they hold. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of our securities, or the availability of our securities for future sale, will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our securities.
While we intend to seek listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or another national stock exchange when our company is eligible, there can be no assurance when or if our common stock will be listed on Nasdaq, NYSE or another national stock exchange. Until then, we expect our securities to remain volatile and lack the liquidity of larger companies.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, the price or trading volume of our securities could decline.
The trading market for our securities will, to some extent, depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares of common stock or change their opinion of our shares of common stock, the price of our securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our securities to decline.
We have in the past, and may in the future, be unable to comply with the listing standards of OTCQX. If we fail to comply with the listing standards in the future, our Common Stock may be delisted. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock could decrease, and our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate would be substantially impaired.
The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTCQX which has minimum requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed. For example, these requirements include maintaining compliance with Section 1.1(G) of the OTCQX Rules for U.S. Companies requiring a 10% public float for continued eligibility on the OTCQX (the “Float Rule”). Following the closing date of our business combination on April 7, 2025, we had ninety (90) days from such date, or July 6, 2025, to comply with Section the Float Rule. On July 3, 2025, we requested from OTCQX an additional ninety (90) day extension to comply with the Float Rule. OTCQX granted our extension on July 9, 2025, and we came into compliance with the Float Rule prior to the extended deadline on October 10, 2025. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, our Common Stock is in compliance with the Float Rule, although we cannot make any assurances that the Company will be able to comply with this requirement, or other qualitative and quantitative requirements, for continued quotation of its Common Stock on the OTCQX.
41
In addition, on June 18, 2025, OTCQX notified us that the bid price for our Warrants had closed below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days, and thus the Company no longer met the minimum bid requirement for continued qualification for the OTCQX International Tier as per Section 2.1(a) of the OTCQX Rules for U.S. Companies (the “Minimum Bid Rule”). However, on September 3, 2025, our Warrants regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule and remain in compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
If either the Common Stock or the Warrants are delisted from OTCQX, they would instead be quoted on the OTCQB, a lower tier of the OTC Markets.
Delisting from the OTCQX could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through public or private sales of our securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock and warrants. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees and customers, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
Our business may be negatively impacted by imposed tariffs on imports from foreign countries.
Changes to policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. For example, during the prior Trump administration, increased tariffs were implemented on goods imported into the U.S., particularly from China, Canada, and Mexico. On February 1, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, which were subsequently suspended for a period of one month, and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. More recently on April 2, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order imposing a minimum 10% baseline tariff on all U.S. imports, with higher tariffs applied to imports from 57 specific countries. The baseline tariff rate became effective on April 5, while tariffs on imports from the 57 targeted nations, ranging from 11% to 50%, took effect on April 9. On the same day, President Trump announced a 90-day “pause” on reciprocal tariffs for all but China, which continues to face tariffs as high as 145%. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between not only the U.S. and China, but also between the U.S. and other countries in the international community. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
We currently operate a taxi fleet and intend to expand the size of our fleet. To expand our taxi fleet, the Company intends to purchase additional vehicles. Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the tariff on imports from foreign countries could adversely affect our business, including an increase to the cost of vehicles the Company intends to purchase in the future and supply chain disruptions that limit our ability to purchase vehicles and the required component parts to convert vehicles into taxicabs. The extent and duration of any tariffs or related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial and may also have the effect of heightening other risks listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report, which could materially adversely affect our business, profitability and financial condition.
