Because the Company conducts its businesses through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, the risks related to our wholly-owned subsidiaries are also risks that impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations. See, "Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies / Major Customers and Suppliers - Concentration of Credit Risk" in the consolidated financial statements for more information. The emergence of a novel coronavirus on a global scale, known as COVID-19, and related geopolitical events could lead to increased market volatility, disruption toU.S. and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse effects on the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial risk to future operations is largely unknown, (refer to Part I, Item 1A, for further details.) Critical Accounting Policies We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our operating results and financial position, and we apply those accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant policies are summarized in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from those estimates. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in the preparation of our financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Business Combinations - Purchase Price Allocation
We are a diversified holding company whose activities involve the acquisition of operating companies through stock purchase or asset purchase transactions. We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. All the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and amounts attributable to intangible assets, including goodwill, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities involves estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. We use various techniques to determine fair value in such instances, including the income approach and use of independent valuation firms. Significant estimates used in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase consideration over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. See Note 8 for further detail on goodwill. Management's estimate of fair value is based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, and are supported by independent valuations where possible, but nevertheless remain subjective and subject to future adjustment if actual results differ from the estimates. Foreign Subsidiaries We currently have two wholly-owned subsidiaries that are domiciled in foreign countries. In the future we may acquire additional foreign subsidiaries. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are kept in accordance with their respective local jurisdictions and require adjustment in order to conform toU.S. GAAP. Additionally, local currencies of these subsidiaries require conversion to our US dollar in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Due to changing currency translation rates, the value of our assets and liabilities held in foreign jurisdictions are inherently volatile in nature and may vary significantly despite our use of averages and estimates. Revenue Recognition Our operating subsidiaries derive revenues from a number of sources including sales of hardware, services, food items, printing, financial services, and consumer products. The company recognizes the revenue when the product or service is delivered, or the ownership of the product is deemed to have been transferred to the buyer. We carefully monitor the outgoings of product shipments and service completions to ensure revenues are properly recorded. In the case of continued support services, such as warranty or extended contracts, the company makes an assessment at each reporting period as to the significance of the cost of such support or warranty. This estimate is based on historical experience and careful monitoring of costs throughout the reporting period to determine if any reserve should be recorded for estimated expenses. We believe we have made careful and reasonable estimates, however adjustments may be required in the future if actual results vary from our estimates.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to apply necessary resources, which may include experienced personnel, cash, or synergistic acquisitions made with cash, equity or debt, into growing each of our business units to their potential. Original Sprout is in the initial stages of transitioning from a largely boutique offering distributed through specialty wholesalers to a more mainstream product available at traditional outlets and online and as such we anticipate measurable growth in revenues for the coming years, though there may be one-time initial expenses associated with the launch of new sales channels. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the security industry coupled with expanded product offerings. Similarly, we expectGourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and continue to increase market share through additional product offerings and channels to market, including the printing and sale of food wrappers by their newly acquired subsidiary, Printstock. Wainwright will continue to develop innovative and new fund products to grow its portfolio. In addition to our long-term mission that is an acquisition strategy based upon identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a diverse nature and with in-place management that produces increased revenue streams, the Company is also focused upon building expertise and developing Fintech opportunities in the financial services sector through its development stage subsidiaryMarygold and Co. In a more general sense, the Company is characterizing its business in two categories: 1) financial services and 2) other consumer-based operating units. The purpose is to isolate the cyclical, and sometimes volatile, nature of the financial services business from our other industry segments. As revenues from financial services fluctuate over time due to varying performance of the commodities markets, our other operations are expected to be stable and sustainable by comparison. By these initiatives we seek to:
? continue to gain market share for our wholly-owned subsidiaries' areas of
operation,
? increase our gross revenues and realize net operating profits,
? lower our operating costs by unburdening certain selling expenses to third
party distributors,
? have sufficient cash reserves to pay down accrued expenses and losses,
? attract parties who have an interest in selling their privately held companies
to us,
? achieve efficiencies in accounting and reporting through adoption of standards
used by all subsidiaries on a consistent basis,
? strategically pursue additional company acquisitions, and
? explore opportunities as may present themselves in the Fintech space,
including the launch of services by Marygold and Marygold Advisory Services,
and the creation of new corporate entities as focused subsidiary holdings.

Table of Contents Revenue and Operating Income Consolidated revenue for the year endedJune 30, 2021 was$39.9 million representing a$13.2 million increase from the prior year revenue of$26.7 million . The increase in consolidated revenues is attributed to the increase in annual revenues ofWainwright and Gourmet Foods . Wainwright's average Assets Under Management ("AUM") for the year endedJune 30, 2021 was significantly higher than that of 2020, which resulted in a revenue increase of approximately$9.7 million . The acquisition of Printstock byGourmet Foods added an additional$3.0 million in revenues for 2021, whereas Printstock was acquired inJuly 2020 and therefore did not contribute revenues during fiscal year endedJune 30, 2020 .

Revenue Net revenues for the year endedJune 30, 2021 were$2.7 million with cost of goods sold of approximately$1.3 million , resulting in a gross profit of approximately$1.4 million with a gross margin of approximately 53% as compared to the year endedJune 30, 2020 where net revenues were approximately$2.7 million with cost of goods sold of$1.2 million and a gross profit of$1.5 million , or approximately 56% gross margin. The decline in profit margin is an indirect result of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Brigadier's ability to source hardware timely and to perform installation services at residential locations. Management believes that this is business deferred rather than lost, and expects that the eventual resolution of the pandemic will restore operations to their prior levels. Expenses General, administrative and selling expenses for the year endedJune 30, 2021 were$1.2 million producing an operating profit of$0.2 million or approximately 11% operating profit margin as compared to the year endedJune 30, 2020 where general, administrative and selling expenses where$1.2 million producing an operating profit of$0.3 million , or approximately 12% operating profit margin.

Beauty Products - Original Sprout
Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 and adopted the dba/Original Sprout inDecember 2017 . Original Sprout formulates and packages various hair and skin care products that are 100% vegan, tested safe and non-toxic, and marketed globally through distribution networks to salons, resorts, grocery stores, health food stores, e-tail sites and on the company's website. The company operates from warehouse and sales offices located inSan Clemente, CA , USA. As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Original Sprout has made adjustments to its primary channels to market. Prior to the pandemic Original Sprout relied heavily upon its wholesale distribution network to place products at retail locations and generally to make products available to consumers, whereas in the current environment of social distancing and closures of retail businesses the company found a significant drop in sales volumes as consumers avoided traditional sales outlets. In response to this trend, Original Sprout has established new sales channels with online retailers and also encouraged those national retail chains who stock the product to also make it available at online shopping carts. The positive effects of this transition are now being realized while at the same time the negative effects of the pandemic on the wholesale distribution business continues to increase for the U.S. market. The result is that sales overall have been relatively stable during the pandemic, though derived from different sources. Contributing to lower profit margins and higher expenses during the current fiscal year are the one-time costs of relocating to a larger facility during December and January, the disposal of obsolete product, the transition to new packaging and new product development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Concierge is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At the holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to operational expense, the funding of additional business acquisitions and new investment opportunities. Our operating subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes. Cash is managed at the holding company or the subsidiary level. There are no limitations or constraints on the movement of funds between the entities.
As of
During the past five fiscal years combined, Concierge has invested approximately$8.2 million in cash towards purchasing and assimilatingGourmet Foods and its Printstock subsidiary,Brigadier Security Systems and the Original Sprout assets into theConcierge Technologies group of companies as well as the acquisition through a stock-for-stock exchange of Wainwright, which provides a significant revenue stream and value. We have also invested approximately$2.9 million in the development of Fintech applications through our newly organized subsidiary, Marygold. Despite these cash investments, our working capital position remains strong at$19 million and our position has strengthened year-to-year. While Concierge intends to maintain and improve its revenue stream from wholly owned subsidiaries, Concierge continues to pursue acquisitions of other profitable companies which meet its target profile. Provided Concierge's subsidiaries continue to operate as they are presently, and are projected to operate, Concierge has sufficient capital to pay its general and administrative expenses for the coming fiscal year and to adequately pursue its long term business objectives. However, given the significant economic and financial market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's results of operations could be adversely impacted. 23
