Related Party Receivables

Related party receivables consist of amounts owed to the Company in connection with the Shared Services Agreement with GWG Holdings discussed in Note 16. Due to the financial deterioration of GWG Holdings, including GWG Holdings’ filing for reorganization under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code in April 2022, receivables prior to the bankruptcy filing were fully reserved. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, reserves related to these receivables were $15.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Promissory Note Receivable

There are amounts due under two promissory note agreements for funds advanced outside of our normal liquidity arrangements with a principal balance of $2.5 million and $0.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The $2.5 million note bears interest at 9.0% per annum. The $0.9 million note bears interest at the lesser of 18% or the

mid-term

federal rate (360 day year). As such, the interest rate was 5.00% per annum as of March 31, 2023 and 0.50% per annum as of March 31, 2022. Both promissory note agreements mature in April 2024 and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Mandatory prepayments are required if certain conditions are met. Total principal and interest due for both promissory notes as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $5.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Interest Commitment

The primary closing conditions of the Company’s formative transactions consisted of (i) MHT Financial entering into purchase and sale agreements with certain counterparties, which were owners of alternative asset funds to acquire their portfolios of alternative assets (collectively, the “Formative Transactions Exchange Portfolio”) in exchange for agreed upon consideration and (ii) MHT Financial’s subsequent contribution of the Formative Transactions Exchange Portfolio into the custody of certain constituent trusts (each a “Custody Trust”) of the ExAlt Plan

™

(as structured for the formative transactions, the “Formative ExAlt Plan

™

”) in exchange for Common Units of Ben and debt and equity securities of GWG Holdings of an agreed upon value issued to certain other constituent trusts of the Formative ExAlt Plan

™

of which MHT Financial was named the sole beneficiary (such trusts, the

“2017-18

Exchange Trusts”). In connection with these formative transactions and related closing conditions, the Company agreed with certain other sellers to MHT Financial to accrue interest beginning on August 10, 2018, at a rate of
