Management Commentary:

"This quarter marks AtlasClear's clearest demonstration yet that the platform we set out to build is taking commercial shape," said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear. "AtlasClear has moved from balance sheet repair to operational scaling, and the pending acquisitions are intended to expand the Company's earnings capacity, operating leverage, and service capabilities across clearing, capital markets, and banking. The pieces are increasingly coming together. The next phase is execution."

"Wilson-Davis is performing, and the correspondent pipeline is the leading indicator of where the business is heading,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear. "Securities lending has gone from immaterial to a $3.0 million year-to-date contributor on the back of deliberate operational build-out. We expect that combination of execution and pipeline to define the next several quarters."

Operational and Strategic Highlights:

During and following the quarter, AtlasClear continued executing on its strategy to build an integrated financial services platform combining clearing, capital markets, and banking capabilities.

Key strategic developments included:

• Signed or actively onboarding five correspondent clearing relationships, with additional relationships in late-stage development.
• Submitted formal application to the Federal Reserve and Wyoming Division of Banking for the proposed acquisition of Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming.
• Executed Letter of Intent to acquire Ark Financial Services and its broker-dealer subsidiary, Dawson James Securities, with the transaction structured in two steps to accommodate FINRA requirements.
• Continued expansion of securities lending and stock locate operations, leveraging Wilson-Davis's correspondent-clearing capability.
• Continued investment in operational infrastructure, compliance, technology systems, and personnel to support scaling.
  

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure Progress:

The Company made substantial progress repairing its balance sheet and resolving legacy obligations from the de-SPAC transaction. Total assets increased to $73.9 million, while stockholders' equity improved by $29.1 million over nine months to $22.3 million. Fiscal year-to-date interest expense declined 33% to $4.6 million from $6.9 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the Company's debt reduction actions. The $20 million structured capital raise completed in October, combined with current liquidity, supports continued execution on operational and strategic growth initiatives without near-term equity dilution.

Management believes the Company’s strengthened balance sheet and liquidity profile position AtlasClear to continue executing its operational and strategic growth initiatives.
