Management Commentary
“We are building exactly the business we set out to build, and this quarter shows it,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Revenue grew 27%, we built stock locate into our largest revenue line, and AtlasClearing’s net capital rose to $15.2 million. And we grew revenue while compensation costs fell 13%, which tells us that not every new dollar of revenue requires more people. We delivered that growth before our newly signed correspondents made any material contribution, which gives us confidence in the opportunity ahead. I know the recent trading suspension has been difficult for our shareholders, and we take that seriously. The Exchange’s action is about our share price. It is not about AtlasClearing’s regulatory capital, the Company’s financial condition or our operations. We intend to pursue the appeal process and seek to restore trading on the NYSE American, and we intend to seek to effect a reverse stock split as part of our plan to support the appeal and our continued listing. But the share price is not the business. The business is growing, the team is executing, and nothing about our foundation has changed.”
“Stock locate is the clearest proof of what this platform can do,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “A year ago it did not exist, and this quarter it generated $3.0 million, more than any other part of our business. That is what happens when you add a new service to infrastructure that is already built and well capitalized. Now we are doing the same thing with correspondents. Every firm we bring through onboarding adds accounts and trading activity to an engine that already earns revenue across commissions, clearing, stock locate and interest, and we expect to support much of that growth with the platform and team already in place. My team is in that work every day, and none of it has slowed down.”
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 developments included:
- In October 2026, signed a definitive business combination agreement to acquire Ark Financial Services, Inc., the parent of Dawson James Securities, Inc., and completed an initial 24.9% investment funded with $2.5 million in cash and a $2.5 million seller note, with no AtlasClear shares issued. Dawson James, an active underwriter and placement agent that already clears through AtlasClearing, reported 2025 revenue of $25.1 million and audited net income of $2.4 million. Because Ark’s principal serves on the Company’s board of directors, the transaction was reviewed and approved by AtlasClear’s independent directors.
- On November 12, 2026, the continuing membership application for Dawson James was filed with FINRA. FINRA approval is the principal regulatory condition to the acquisition of the remaining 75.1% of Ark, which also remains subject to stockholder approval to the extent required and other customary closing conditions. The remaining consideration will be paid solely in cash and AtlasClear common stock, with no warrants, preferred stock, convertible securities, discounts or price resets, and Ark stockholders receiving AtlasClear shares will be subject to a six-month lock-up.
- Expanded AtlasClearing’s correspondent network to nine signed correspondent broker-dealer agreements, four of which were signed since the start of fiscal 2027, with onboarding and conversion under way.
- Continued to scale stock locate operations, which generated $3.0 million in revenue in the quarter, close to half of the $6.8 million generated in all of fiscal 2026, its first year of operation.
- Remained committed to the planned acquisition of Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming, parent of Farmers State Bank, and expects to refile its regulatory applications at an appropriate time. The institutional digital asset opportunity announced in July 2026 remains subject to a non-binding letter of intent, due diligence and definitive agreements.
NYSE American Listing Update
On November 10, 2026, the Company announced that NYSE American had suspended trading in its common stock and commenced proceedings to delist the common stock, citing Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide based on the low selling price of the common stock. The Exchange’s determination is based solely on the low selling price of the common stock and does not relate to AtlasClearing’s regulatory capital compliance, the Company’s financial condition or the status of its correspondent clearing operations.
The Company intends to appeal the determination by requesting a hearing before a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange, and currently intends to seek to effect a reverse stock split as part of its plan to support the appeal and its continued listing. During the appeal process, the common stock is being quoted on the OTC market under the symbol “ATCH.” AtlasClearing’s clearing operations continue in the ordinary course, and AtlasClearing remains compliant with its regulatory net capital requirements.
Fiscal First Quarter 2027 Financial Results
Revenue. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $5.4 million, an increase of 27% from $4.3 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by $3.0 million of stock locate fees, compared with none in the prior-year quarter. Revenue from sources other than commissions represented approximately 68% of total revenue, compared with approximately 45% in the prior-year quarter. Additional detail on revenue by line and on operating results will be available in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Expenses and operating results. Total expenses were $7.9 million, compared with $5.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Compensation, payroll taxes and benefits declined 13% to $2.7 million from $3.1 million. Data processing and clearing costs increased to $1.9 million from $0.6 million, primarily reflecting costs associated with the stock locate business. Regulatory, professional and related expenses increased to $1.3 million from $0.3 million, driven by legal and professional advisory work on the planned Commercial Bancorp and Ark transactions. Non-cash stock-based compensation was $0.6 million, compared with $0.2 million. Loss from operations was $2.5 million, compared with $0.9 million in the prior-year quarter.
Other income and net loss. Total other income was $1.2 million, compared with $0.3 million in the prior-year quarter. The principal items included interest income of $0.5 million and non-cash gains of $0.7 million from the change in fair value of a secured convertible note, $0.3 million from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and $0.2 million from the change in fair value of earnout liability, partially offset by interest expense of $0.4 million, a 72% decrease from $1.4 million in the prior-year quarter. After an income tax benefit of $0.2 million, net loss was $1.1 million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, in the prior-year quarter.
Balance Sheet and Capital
Total assets were $69.8 million at September 30, 2026. Stockholders’ equity was $20.7 million, compared to $21.1 million at June 30, 2026. AtlasClearing’s net capital increased $0.8 million during the quarter to $15.2 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents during the quarter primarily reflected net cash used in operating activities of $3.9 million, which included a $5.6 million increase in receivables from customers. AtlasClearing’s $10 million revolving line of credit with BMO Bank remained undrawn at September 30, 2026. Following the quarter, the Company paid $2.5 million in cash in connection with its initial investment in Ark, and it expects additional cash commitments of approximately $2.44 million payable at the closing of the Ark acquisition and $2.5 million under the seller note, which matures in January 2027 unless repaid earlier. Management’s base cash flow forecast indicates that projected operating cash flows and existing cash may not be sufficient to satisfy all anticipated obligations over the next twelve months. The Company is pursuing a committed PIPE financing, together with other available capital resources, to fund any potential shortfall, and based on these plans, management concluded that there is no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Revenue plus interest income is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. AtlasClear presents interest income, which is earned on balances held at its broker-dealer subsidiary, in other income. Management believes that adding interest income to total revenues provides a useful view of the revenue generated by the Company’s operations. This measure should not be considered a substitute for total revenues determined in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation: First quarter fiscal 2027 GAAP total revenue of $5.4 million plus interest income of $0.5 million equals total revenue plus interest income of $5.9 million. First quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP total revenue of $4.3 million plus interest income of $0.5 million equals total revenue plus interest income of $4.7 million.
