Great Elm Group, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2024

1. Organization

Great Elm Group, Inc. (referred to as the Company or GEG) is an alternative asset management company incorporated in Delaware. The Company focuses on growing a scalable and diversified portfolio of long-duration and permanent capital vehicles across credit, real estate, specialty finance, and other alternative strategies.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Great Elm Capital Management, Inc. (GECM), Great Elm Opportunities GP, Inc. (GEO GP), Great Elm Capital GP, LLC, Great Elm FM Acquisition, Inc., Great Elm DME Holdings, Inc., Great Elm DME Manager, LLC, and Monomoy BTS Corporation (MBTS), Great Elm Investments LLC, as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries Forest Investments, Inc. (through December 30, 2022), and Great Elm Healthcare, LLC (HC LLC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (through January 3, 2023). In addition, we have determined that the Company was the primary beneficiary of certain variable interest entities, and therefore the operations of those entities have been included in our consolidated results for the relevant periods.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes that are normally included in the Company’s Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

The historical results of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) business, primarily consisting of HC LLC and its subsidiaries, sold on January 3, 2023, and related activity have been presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as discontinued operations. Further, the historical segment information was recast to reflect our ongoing business as a single reportable segment and to remove the activity of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates associated with accounting for asset acquisitions, and fair value measurements, including stock-based compensation. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

9

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests, including kick out rights, either directly or indirectly through related parties presumed to be under our control. We consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) when we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We deconsolidate a VIE when we no longer possess the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance or the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company’s equity or outside of permanent equity for non-controlling interests that are contingently redeemable. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of exchange-traded money market funds and U.S. treasury bills. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills with original maturity exceeding 90 days. The Company classifies investments in debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale. Securities are classified as trading if they are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. Investments in debt securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost with realized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

As of March 31, 2024, all investments in marketable securities were classified as held-to-maturity and had original maturities (at the time of purchase) exceeding 90 days. As of March 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis for these securities approximated their fair value.

Investments, at Fair Value

Investments, at fair value, consist of equity and equity-related securities and debt securities classified as trading carried at fair value, as well as investments in private funds measured using the net asset value (NAV) as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as of the valuation date. Changes in the fair value and NAV are recorded within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Dividends received are recorded within dividends and interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.

10

Real Estate under Development

Real estate under development is classified as follows: (i) real estate under development (current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of within one year of the balance sheet date; (ii) real estate under development (non-current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of more than one year from the balance sheet date; and (iii) real estate held for sale, which includes land and completed improvements thereon that meet all of the “held for sale” criteria.

Real estate under development is carried at cost less impairment, if applicable. We capitalize costs that are directly identifiable with the specific real estate projects, including pre-acquisition and pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, taxes, and insurance. We do not capitalize any general and administrative or overhead costs, regardless of whether the costs are internal or paid to third parties. Capitalization begins when the activities related to development have begun and ceases when activities are substantially complete and the asset is available for occupancy.

Real estate held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. If an asset’s fair value less cost to sell, based on discounted future cash flows, management estimates or market comparisons, is less than its carrying amount, an allowance is recorded against the asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include real estate under development, property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets, and lease right-of-use assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by an asset are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, management estimates or market comparisons.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract considering all relevant facts and circumstances, which normally does not require significant judgment. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in our leases is generally not readily determinable, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives.

The Company’s office leases typically require reimbursements to the lessor for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating costs, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

In March 2024, the Company signed a new office lease which is expected to commence in December 2024. As none of the criteria for recognition have been met as of March 31, 2024, there is no corresponding lease liability or right-of-use asset associated with this lease included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 3,264,424 potential shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024. Further, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had 11,191,461 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Notes (as defined below) that are not included in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 1,771,950 shares of restricted stock that are not included in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 1,270,651 potential shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 1,771,950 and 1,509,885 issued shares, respectively, that are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes since they are unvested and subject to forfeiture by the employees at a nominal price if service milestones are not met.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Current Expected Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which changes the impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical experience, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU as of July 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

The revenues from each major source are summarized in the following table:

	For the three months ended March 31,				For the nine months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Management fees	$	1,462	$	1,384	$	4,314	$	4,067
Incentive fees		663		-		2,676		-
Property management fees		300		278		875		830
Administration and service fees		362		236		1,051		740
Total revenues	$	2,787	$	1,898	$	8,916	$	5,637

The Company recognizes investment management revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for providing services to its customers. Investment management revenue primarily consists of fees based on a percentage of assets under management, fees based on the performance of managed assets, and administration and service fees. Fees are based on agreements with each investment product and may be terminated at any time by either party subject to the specific terms of each respective agreement.

Management Fees

The Company earns management fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with Great Elm Capital Corp. (GECC), Monomoy Properties UpREIT, LLC (Monomoy UpREIT), the operating partnership of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC, and other private funds managed by GECM (collectively, the Funds). The performance obligation is satisfied and management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered, since the Funds simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided as GECM performs services. Management fee rates range from 1.0% to 1.5% of the management fee assets specified within each agreement and are calculated and billed in arrears of the period, either monthly or quarterly.

Property Management Fees

Under the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement, GECM is also entitled to 4.0% of rent collected. These fees are collected monthly in arrears. Property management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided.

13

Incentive Fees

The Company earns incentive fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with GECC, Monomoy Properties II, LLC (MP II), a feeder fund of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC and other private funds managed by GECM. Where an investment management agreement includes both management fees and incentive fees, the performance obligation is considered to be a single obligation for both fees. Incentive fees are variable consideration associated with the investment management agreements. Incentive fees are earned based on investment performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels or high-water marks, in accordance with the terms of the respective investment management agreements. Incentive fees are typically 20% of the performance-based metric specified within each agreement. Incentive fees are recognized when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded revenue in respect to the incentive fees due from GECC of $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Administration Fees

The Company earns administration fees based on the administration agreement GECM has with GECC whereby the investment vehicles reimburse GECM for costs incurred in performing certain administrative functions. This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Administration fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflect agreed upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation for each investment vehicle that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.

The Company also earns services fees based on a shared services agreement with Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC (ICAM). This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Service fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflects agreed-upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.

4. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions are measured in part by the amount of consideration paid or received as established and agreed by the parties. Consideration paid for such services in each case is the negotiated value.

The following tables summarize activity and outstanding balances between the managed investment products and the Company:

	For the three months ended March 31,					For the nine months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023		2024		2023
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments	$	(2,751	)	$	895	$	1,838	$	(7,950	)

Receivables from managed funds	$	4,400	$	3,308

Investment Management

GECM has agreements to manage the investment portfolios for GECC, Monomoy UpREIT and other investment products, as well as to provide administrative services. Under these agreements, GECM receives management fees based on the managed assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) and rent collected, incentive fees based on the performance of those assets, and administration and service fees. See Note 3 - Revenue for additional discussions of the fee arrangements.

14

Consolidated Funds

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries GECM and GEO GP, the Company serves as the investment manager, general partner, or managing member of certain private funds, in which it may also have a direct investment. For funds which are determined to be VIEs and where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the criteria for consolidation are met. The Company monitors such funds and related criteria for consolidation on an ongoing basis. Funds that have historically been consolidated will be deconsolidated at such time as the Company is no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary and will then be treated as equity method investments.

The Company retains the specialized investment company accounting guidance under US GAAP with respect to the Consolidated Funds. As such, investments of the Consolidated Funds are included in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on those investments was included as a component of other income on the consolidated statements of operations. Non-controlling interests of the Consolidated Funds are included in net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, continuing operations. The creditors of Consolidated Funds do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the respective Consolidated Funds.

The Company holds investments in certain funds that are VIEs but the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Such investments are treated as equity method investments and the Company has elected the fair value option using NAV as a practical expedient with all changes in fair value reported in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details.

Investments

As of March 31, 2024, the Company owns 1,518,162 shares of GECC (approximately 16.1% of the outstanding shares). Certain officers and directors of GECC are also officers and directors of GEG.

In February 2024, the Company invested in $6.0 million for a 25% interest in Great Elm Strategic Partnership I, LLC (GESP). The Company's investment in GESP is accounted for using the fair value option and it is included in Investments, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. GESP owns 1,850,424 shares of GECC.

Other Transactions

GECM has shared personnel and reimbursement agreements with ICAM. Jason W. Reese, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of ICAM, and Matt Kaplan, the President of GECM, is also a Managing Director of ICAM. Certain costs incurred under these agreements relate to human resources, investment management, and other administrative services provided by ICAM employees, for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries, and are included in investment management expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, such costs were $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, such costs were $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Other costs include operational or administrative services performed on behalf of the funds managed by GECM and are included in receivables from managed funds in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the shared services agreements were included in receivables from managed funds.

On August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a financial advisory agreement with Imperial Capital, LLC. The agreement included a retainer fee of $0.1 million which was paid in October 2021. In addition, the agreement included a success-based fee upon a sale of HC LLC. Upon completion of the sale of HC LLC on January 3, 2023, a success fee of $0.7 million was paid to Imperial Capital, LLC. Jason W. Reese is the Co-Founder of Imperial Capital, LLC.

See Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for details on the contingent consideration payable to ICAM following the acquisition of the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement and Note 8 - Convertible Notes for details on the Convertible Notes issued to related parties.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

US GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

▪Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

▪Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

▪Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

All financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized in the tables below:

	Fair Value as of March 31, 2024

The valuation techniques applied to investments held by the Company and by the Consolidated Funds varied depending on the nature of the investment.

Equity and equity-related securities

Securities traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the close price on the valuation date. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified as Level 1.

Equity investments that do not have readily-available market prices utilize valuation models to determine fair value and are classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an equity investment in a private company that was valued using an options pricing model with a volatility of 38.9% and a risk-free rate of 4.24%.

Debt securities

Bank loans, corporate debt and other debt obligations traded on a national exchange are valued based on quoted market prices and classified as Level 2. Debt investments that are not actively traded are generally based on discounted cash flows and classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2024, debt investments valued based on discounted cash flows use discount rates ranging from 11.2% to 23.1% with a weighted average of 13.5%.

Investments in private funds

The Company values investments in private funds using NAV as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as of the valuation date. Investments valued using NAV as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, investments in private funds primarily consisted of our investments in Monomoy UpREIT and Great Elm Opportunities Fund I, LP Series D (GEOF Series D). Monomoy UpREIT allows redemptions annually with 90 days’ notice, subject to a one-year lockup from the date of initial investment, which are capped at 5% of its NAV. GEOF Series D allows withdrawals annually and there is no set duration for the private fund.

18

Contingent consideration

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement, the Company entered into a contingent consideration agreement that requires the Company to pay up to $2.0 million to ICAM if certain fee revenue thresholds are achieved during fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that the fee revenue threshold for the year ending June 30, 2023 was achieved and the amount payable to ICAM was approximately $1.0 million, which was paid in July 2023. Further, the Company determined that the fee revenue threshold for the year ending June 30, 2024 was expected to be achieved as well, and the related amount payable to ICAM was recorded at present value of approximately $1.9 million, using a discount rate of 8.0%, included within the current portion of related party payables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, it was determined that the full target revenue threshold for the year ended June 30, 2024 was unlikely to be met in full and the contingent consideration was updated to $0.4 million based on projected fee revenues through the end of the fiscal year.

See Note 7 - Long-Term Debt for additional discussion related to the fair value of our notes payable and other long-term debt. The carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

6. Real Estate Under Development

In January 2023, MBTS completed purchases of certain land parcels located in Mississippi and Florida. Contemporaneously with the land purchases, MBTS entered into commercial lease agreements, as a lessor, in respect to the land parcels and build-to-suit improvements to be constructed thereon. The leases will commence upon substantial completion of the build-to-suit development, which is expected not later than the second calendar quarter of 2024. We intend to sell the land and improvements with the attached leases at or close to the respective lease commencement date.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company capitalized costs of $3.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, within real estate under development (current) on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing the development and construction costs directly identifiable with the two real estate projects.

Additional details of the Company's long-term debt are discussed below.

GEGGL Notes

On June 9, 2022, we issued $26.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% notes due on June 30, 2027 (the GEGGL Notes), which included $1.9 million of GEGGL Notes issued in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The GEGGL Notes are unsecured obligations and rank: (i) pari passu, or equal, with the Convertible Notes (as defined below) and any future outstanding unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness; (ii) senior to any of our indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the GEGGL Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to any future secured indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to any future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our current and future subsidiaries. We pay interest on the GEGGL Notes on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The GEGGL Notes can be called on, or after, June 30, 2024. Holders of the GEGGL Notes do not have the option to have the notes repaid prior to the stated maturity date. The GEGGL Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

The GEGGL Notes include covenants that limit additional indebtedness or the payment of dividends subject to compliance with a net consolidated debt to equity ratio of 2:1. As of March 31, 2024, our net consolidated debt to equity ratio is 0.33:1.00.

8. Convertible Notes

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance of convertible notes due on February 26, 2030 (the Convertible Notes) was $38.9 million, including cumulative interest paid in-kind. The Convertible Notes are held by a consortium of investors, including $15.8 million issued to certain related parties as of March 31, 2024.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 31, commencing June 30, 2020, in cash or in kind at the option of the Company. Each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes are convertible into 288.0018 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms therein, prior to maturity at the option of the holder.

The Company may, subject to compliance with the terms of the Convertible Notes, effect the conversion of some or all of the Convertible Notes into shares of common stock, subject to certain liquidity and pricing requirements, as specified in the Convertible Notes.

The embedded conversion feature in the Convertible Notes qualifies for the scope exception to derivative accounting in FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for certain contracts involving a reporting entity’s own equity. The Company incurred $1.2 million in issuance costs on the original issuance. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the 10-year term and are netted with the principal balance on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the Convertible Notes, inclusive of non-cash interest related to amortization of debt issuance costs. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the Convertible Notes, inclusive of non-cash interest related to amortization of debt issuance costs.

Such compensation is deferred until the earlier of 3 years from the original grant date of such compensation, termination of service, or death, and is payable in common stock shares. As of March 31, 2024, there were 167,941 restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that were deferred under this plan (and thus included in the number of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units outstanding as of that date).

Other Non-Cash Compensation

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued compensation to certain employees in the form of GECC common shares to be settled with GECC shares currently held by the Company. The total value of GECC shares awarded for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.6 million, of which $0.1 million vested immediately, and the balance will vest annually pro-rata over two- and three-year periods. Related compensation expense was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company also had $25.5 million of state NOL carryforwards, principally in Massachusetts, Arizona, and Nebraska, that will expire from 2031 to 2043.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains insurance to mitigate losses related to certain risks. The Company is not a named party in any other pending or threatened litigation that we expect to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

GEG is a publicly-traded alternative asset management company focused on growing a scalable and diversified portfolio of long-duration and permanent capital vehicles across credit, real estate, specialty finance, and other alternative strategies. GEG and its subsidiaries currently manage GECC, a publicly-traded business development company, and Monomoy UpREIT, an industrial-focused real estate investment trust, in addition to other investments. The combined assets under management of these entities at March 31, 2024 was approximately $688.0 million.

GEG continues to explore other investment management opportunities, as well as opportunities in other areas that it believes provide attractive risk-adjusted returns on invested capital. As of the date of this report, GEG had no unfunded binding commitments to make additional investments.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by our management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 we did not make material changes in our critical accounting policies or underlying assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 as it relates to normal and recurring transactions.

The historical results of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) business, primarily consisting of HC LLC and its subsidiaries, sold on January 3, 2023 and related activity have been presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as discontinued operations. Further, the historical segment information was recast to reflect our ongoing business as a single reportable segment and to remove the activity of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only.

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the recognition of $0.7 million in incentive fees earned from GECC in the current quarter whereas there were no corresponding incentive fees in the prior year period under the revenue recognition criteria. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 increased $3.3 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the recognition of $2.7 million in incentive fees earned from GECC in the current year to date period whereas there were no corresponding incentive fees in the prior year period under the revenue recognition criteria. In addition, administration and service fee revenues increased by $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of changes in organizational structure including additional personnel.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Investment management expenses, excluding non-cash compensation, for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 increased $1.2 million as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Increases in investment management expenses, excluding non-cash compensation, were primarily attributable to compensation-related costs as the Company has shifted focus to the investment management business after the sale of the DME business in prior year. These increases are partially offset by the decreases in other selling, general and administrative costs of $0.1 million and -$0.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $1.8 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, as there was no interest expense related to the 35,010 shares of preferred stock issued by Forest Investments, Inc. (Forest) to J.P. Morgan Broker-Dealer Holdings Inc. after the sale of controlling interest in Forest on December 30, 2022 or the $6.3 million promissory note issued to Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC which was fully repaid in February 2023.

24

Other income (expense), net includes dividend and interest income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, dividend and interest income was $2.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively, as compared to $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increases in dividend and interest income are primarily attributable to new investments in private funds and marketable securities. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses generally consist of unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on investments and the gain or loss realized on the sale of investments. In addition, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of its controlling interest in Forest in December 2022 of $10.5 million and gain on the January 2023 sale of its remaining non-controlling interest in Forest of $24.4 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $18.5 million. The adjustments to reconcile our net income from continuing operations of -$0.4 million to net cash used in operating activities included add-backs for various non-cash charges, such as $1.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.7 million of non-cash interest and amortization of capitalized issuance costs, and $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization, which was offset by deduction of $1.8 million of unrealized gain on our investments, and the net negative change in our operating assets and liabilities of $11.6 million, including the impact of changes related to consolidated funds.

Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $3.6 million. The adjustments to reconcile our net income from continuing operations of $19.7 million to net cash used in operating activities included add-backs for various non-cash charges, such as $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.7 million of non-cash interest and amortization of capitalized issuance costs, and $0.9 million of depreciation and amortization, which was offset by deduction of $12.8 million of unrealized gain on our investments, $4.7 million of realized gain on our investments, $10.5 million of gain on Sale of Controlling Interest in Forest in December 2022, and the net negative change in our operating assets and liabilities of $2.0 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 we also received $1.6 million attributed to sales of investments by Great Elm SPAC Opportunity Fund, LLC (GESOF). Cash flows provided by operating activities of our discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $0.8 million.

Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $3.7 million, which includes investment purchases of $59.8 million partially offset by the proceeds from sale of investments of $56.8 million. Cash flows used in investing activities of our discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $0.9 million, which represents the payments made to the buyer and former minority interest holders of our durable medical equipment business in connection with working capital adjustment and escrow payments.

Cash provided by investing activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $41.1 million which is attributed to the combined proceeds from sale of Forest, net of cash sold, of $44.3 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $3.1 million. Cash flows provided by investing activities of our discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 of $67.2 million were primarily attributed to the cash proceeds from the Sale of HC LLC, net of cash sold and before transaction costs and distributions to non-controlling interests, of $71.3 million, partially offset by other investing activities of our DME Business.

Cash provided by financing activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $7.1 million related to capital activity of Consolidated Funds.

Cash used in financing activities of our continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $42.4 million, which consisted of principal payments of $38.1 million on the promissory note issued to Forest on December 29, 2022 and fully repaid by January 3, 2023, and principal payments of $3.7 million on the Seller Note, as well as distributions to non-controlling interests in GESOF of $0.6 million. Cash flows used in financing activities of our discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 of $5.2 million were primarily attributed to distributions to non-controlling interests upon Sale of HC LLC of $5.9 million.

25

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2024, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $44.1 million and $24.8 million in marketable securities. We also held 1,518,162 shares of GECC common stock with an estimated fair value of $16.8 million as of March 31, 2024. We believe we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our short-term and long-term obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $26.9 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount of 7.25% notes due on June 30, 2027 (the GEGGL Notes). Interest on the GEGGL Notes is paid quarterly. The GEGGL Notes include covenants that limit additional indebtedness or the payment of dividends in the event that our net consolidated debt to equity ratio is, or would be on a pro forma basis, greater than 2 to 1. In addition, if our net consolidated debt to equity ratio is greater than 2 to 1 at the end of any calendar quarter, we must retain no less than 10% of our excess cash flow as cash and cash equivalents until such time as our net consolidated debt to equity ratio is less than 2 to 1 at the end of a calendar quarter.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $38.9 million principal balance in convertible notes outstanding (including cumulative interest paid in-kind). The convertible notes are held by a consortium of investors, including related parties. The convertible notes accrue interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 31, in cash or in kind at the option of the Company. The convertible notes are due on February 26, 2030, but are convertible at the option of the holders, subject to the terms therein, prior to maturity into shares of our common stock. Upon conversion of any note, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the noteholder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of notes being converted, shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate in effect on the conversion date, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of common stock. To date, all interest on these instruments has been paid in-kind.

Our CEO and CFO participated in this evaluation and concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

1. Organization

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes that are normally included in the Company’s Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

The historical results of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) business, primarily consisting of HC LLC and its subsidiaries, sold on January 3, 2023, and related activity have been presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as discontinued operations. Further, the historical segment information was recast to reflect our ongoing business as a single reportable segment and to remove the activity of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates associated with accounting for asset acquisitions, and fair value measurements, including stock-based compensation. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests, including kick out rights, either directly or indirectly through related parties presumed to be under our control. We consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) when we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We deconsolidate a VIE when we no longer possess the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance or the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company’s equity or outside of permanent equity for non-controlling interests that are contingently redeemable. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of exchange-traded money market funds and U.S. treasury bills. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills with original maturity exceeding 90 days. The Company classifies investments in debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale. Securities are classified as trading if they are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. Investments in debt securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost with realized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

As of March 31, 2024, all investments in marketable securities were classified as held-to-maturity and had original maturities (at the time of purchase) exceeding 90 days. As of March 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis for these securities approximated their fair value.

Investments, at Fair Value

Investments, at fair value, consist of equity and equity-related securities and debt securities classified as trading carried at fair value, as well as investments in private funds measured using the net asset value (NAV) as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as of the valuation date. Changes in the fair value and NAV are recorded within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Dividends received are recorded within dividends and interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate under Development

Real estate under development is classified as follows: (i) real estate under development (current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of within one year of the balance sheet date; (ii) real estate under development (non-current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of more than one year from the balance sheet date; and (iii) real estate held for sale, which includes land and completed improvements thereon that meet all of the “held for sale” criteria.

Real estate under development is carried at cost less impairment, if applicable. We capitalize costs that are directly identifiable with the specific real estate projects, including pre-acquisition and pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, taxes, and insurance. We do not capitalize any general and administrative or overhead costs, regardless of whether the costs are internal or paid to third parties. Capitalization begins when the activities related to development have begun and ceases when activities are substantially complete and the asset is available for occupancy.

Real estate held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. If an asset’s fair value less cost to sell, based on discounted future cash flows, management estimates or market comparisons, is less than its carrying amount, an allowance is recorded against the asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include real estate under development, property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets, and lease right-of-use assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by an asset are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, management estimates or market comparisons.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract considering all relevant facts and circumstances, which normally does not require significant judgment. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in our leases is generally not readily determinable, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives.

The Company’s office leases typically require reimbursements to the lessor for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating costs, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

In March 2024, the Company signed a new office lease which is expected to commence in December 2024. As none of the criteria for recognition have been met as of March 31, 2024, there is no corresponding lease liability or right-of-use asset associated with this lease included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 3,264,424 potential shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024. Further, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had 11,191,461 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Notes (as defined below) that are not included in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 1,771,950 shares of restricted stock that are not included in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 1,270,651 potential shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 1,771,950 and 1,509,885 issued shares, respectively, that are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes since they are unvested and subject to forfeiture by the employees at a nominal price if service milestones are not met.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Current Expected Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which changes the impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical experience, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU as of July 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The revenues from each major source are summarized in the following table:

	For the three months ended March 31,				For the nine months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023

Total revenues	$	2,787	$	1,898	$	8,916	$	5,637

The Company recognizes investment management revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for providing services to its customers. Investment management revenue primarily consists of fees based on a percentage of assets under management, fees based on the performance of managed assets, and administration and service fees. Fees are based on agreements with each investment product and may be terminated at any time by either party subject to the specific terms of each respective agreement.

Management Fees

The Company earns management fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with Great Elm Capital Corp. (GECC), Monomoy Properties UpREIT, LLC (Monomoy UpREIT), the operating partnership of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC, and other private funds managed by GECM (collectively, the Funds). The performance obligation is satisfied and management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered, since the Funds simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided as GECM performs services. Management fee rates range from 1.0% to 1.5% of the management fee assets specified within each agreement and are calculated and billed in arrears of the period, either monthly or quarterly.

Property Management Fees

Under the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement, GECM is also entitled to 4.0% of rent collected. These fees are collected monthly in arrears. Property management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided.

Incentive Fees

The Company earns incentive fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with GECC, Monomoy Properties II, LLC (MP II), a feeder fund of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC and other private funds managed by GECM. Where an investment management agreement includes both management fees and incentive fees, the performance obligation is considered to be a single obligation for both fees. Incentive fees are variable consideration associated with the investment management agreements. Incentive fees are earned based on investment performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels or high-water marks, in accordance with the terms of the respective investment management agreements. Incentive fees are typically 20% of the performance-based metric specified within each agreement. Incentive fees are recognized when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded revenue in respect to the incentive fees due from GECC of $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Administration Fees

The Company earns administration fees based on the administration agreement GECM has with GECC whereby the investment vehicles reimburse GECM for costs incurred in performing certain administrative functions. This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Administration fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflect agreed upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation for each investment vehicle that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.

The Company also earns services fees based on a shared services agreement with Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC (ICAM). This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Service fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflects agreed-upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.

Investment Management

GECM has agreements to manage the investment portfolios for GECC, Monomoy UpREIT and other investment products, as well as to provide administrative services. Under these agreements, GECM receives management fees based on the managed assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) and rent collected, incentive fees based on the performance of those assets, and administration and service fees. See Note 3 - Revenue for additional discussions of the fee arrangements.

Consolidated Funds

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries GECM and GEO GP, the Company serves as the investment manager, general partner, or managing member of certain private funds, in which it may also have a direct investment. For funds which are determined to be VIEs and where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the criteria for consolidation are met. The Company monitors such funds and related criteria for consolidation on an ongoing basis. Funds that have historically been consolidated will be deconsolidated at such time as the Company is no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary and will then be treated as equity method investments.

The Company retains the specialized investment company accounting guidance under US GAAP with respect to the Consolidated Funds. As such, investments of the Consolidated Funds are included in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on those investments was included as a component of other income on the consolidated statements of operations. Non-controlling interests of the Consolidated Funds are included in net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, continuing operations. The creditors of Consolidated Funds do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the respective Consolidated Funds.

The Company holds investments in certain funds that are VIEs but the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Such investments are treated as equity method investments and the Company has elected the fair value option using NAV as a practical expedient with all changes in fair value reported in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details.

Investments

As of March 31, 2024, the Company owns 1,518,162 shares of GECC (approximately 16.1% of the outstanding shares). Certain officers and directors of GECC are also officers and directors of GEG.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

US GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

▪Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

▪Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

▪Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

All financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized in the tables below:

The valuation techniques applied to investments held by the Company and by the Consolidated Funds varied depending on the nature of the investment.

Equity and equity-related securities

Securities traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the close price on the valuation date. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified as Level 1.

Equity investments that do not have readily-available market prices utilize valuation models to determine fair value and are classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an equity investment in a private company that was valued using an options pricing model with a volatility of 38.9% and a risk-free rate of 4.24%.

Debt securities

Bank loans, corporate debt and other debt obligations traded on a national exchange are valued based on quoted market prices and classified as Level 2. Debt investments that are not actively traded are generally based on discounted cash flows and classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2024, debt investments valued based on discounted cash flows use discount rates ranging from 11.2% to 23.1% with a weighted average of 13.5%.

Investments in private funds

The Company values investments in private funds using NAV as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as of the valuation date. Investments valued using NAV as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, investments in private funds primarily consisted of our investments in Monomoy UpREIT and Great Elm Opportunities Fund I, LP Series D (GEOF Series D). Monomoy UpREIT allows redemptions annually with 90 days’ notice, subject to a one-year lockup from the date of initial investment, which are capped at 5% of its NAV. GEOF Series D allows withdrawals annually and there is no set duration for the private fund.

Contingent consideration

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement, the Company entered into a contingent consideration agreement that requires the Company to pay up to $2.0 million to ICAM if certain fee revenue thresholds are achieved during fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that the fee revenue threshold for the year ending June 30, 2023 was achieved and the amount payable to ICAM was approximately $1.0 million, which was paid in July 2023. Further, the Company determined that the fee revenue threshold for the year ending June 30, 2024 was expected to be achieved as well, and the related amount payable to ICAM was recorded at present value of approximately $1.9 million, using a discount rate of 8.0%, included within the current portion of related party payables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, it was determined that the full target revenue threshold for the year ended June 30, 2024 was unlikely to be met in full and the contingent consideration was updated to $0.4 million based on projected fee revenues through the end of the fiscal year.

See Note 7 - Long-Term Debt for additional discussion related to the fair value of our notes payable and other long-term debt. The carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

6. Real Estate Under Development

In January 2023, MBTS completed purchases of certain land parcels located in Mississippi and Florida. Contemporaneously with the land purchases, MBTS entered into commercial lease agreements, as a lessor, in respect to the land parcels and build-to-suit improvements to be constructed thereon. The leases will commence upon substantial completion of the build-to-suit development, which is expected not later than the second calendar quarter of 2024. We intend to sell the land and improvements with the attached leases at or close to the respective lease commencement date.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company capitalized costs of $3.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, within real estate under development (current) on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing the development and construction costs directly identifiable with the two real estate projects.

8. Convertible Notes

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance of convertible notes due on February 26, 2030 (the Convertible Notes) was $38.9 million, including cumulative interest paid in-kind. The Convertible Notes are held by a consortium of investors, including $15.8 million issued to certain related parties as of March 31, 2024.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 31, commencing June 30, 2020, in cash or in kind at the option of the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes that are normally included in the Company’s Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

The historical results of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) business, primarily consisting of HC LLC and its subsidiaries, sold on January 3, 2023, and related activity have been presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as discontinued operations. Further, the historical segment information was recast to reflect our ongoing business as a single reportable segment and to remove the activity of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates associated with accounting for asset acquisitions, and fair value measurements, including stock-based compensation. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests, including kick out rights, either directly or indirectly through related parties presumed to be under our control. We consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) when we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We deconsolidate a VIE when we no longer possess the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance or the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company’s equity or outside of permanent equity for non-controlling interests that are contingently redeemable. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of exchange-traded money market funds and U.S. treasury bills. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills with original maturity exceeding 90 days. The Company classifies investments in debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale. Securities are classified as trading if they are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. Investments in debt securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost with realized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

As of March 31, 2024, all investments in marketable securities were classified as held-to-maturity and had original maturities (at the time of purchase) exceeding 90 days. As of March 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis for these securities approximated their fair value.

Investments, at Fair Value

Investments, at Fair Value

Investments, at fair value, consist of equity and equity-related securities and debt securities classified as trading carried at fair value, as well as investments in private funds measured using the net asset value (NAV) as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as of the valuation date. Changes in the fair value and NAV are recorded within net realized and unrealized gain on investments. Dividends received are recorded within dividends and interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate under Development

Real Estate under Development

Real estate under development is classified as follows: (i) real estate under development (current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of within one year of the balance sheet date; (ii) real estate under development (non-current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of more than one year from the balance sheet date; and (iii) real estate held for sale, which includes land and completed improvements thereon that meet all of the “held for sale” criteria.

Real estate under development is carried at cost less impairment, if applicable. We capitalize costs that are directly identifiable with the specific real estate projects, including pre-acquisition and pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, taxes, and insurance. We do not capitalize any general and administrative or overhead costs, regardless of whether the costs are internal or paid to third parties. Capitalization begins when the activities related to development have begun and ceases when activities are substantially complete and the asset is available for occupancy.

Real estate held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. If an asset’s fair value less cost to sell, based on discounted future cash flows, management estimates or market comparisons, is less than its carrying amount, an allowance is recorded against the asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include real estate under development, property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets, and lease right-of-use assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by an asset are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, management estimates or market comparisons.

Leases

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract considering all relevant facts and circumstances, which normally does not require significant judgment. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in our leases is generally not readily determinable, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives.

The Company’s office leases typically require reimbursements to the lessor for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating costs, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

In March 2024, the Company signed a new office lease which is expected to commence in December 2024. As none of the criteria for recognition have been met as of March 31, 2024, there is no corresponding lease liability or right-of-use asset associated with this lease included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 1,771,950 and 1,509,885 issued shares, respectively, that are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes since they are unvested and subject to forfeiture by the employees at a nominal price if service milestones are not met.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Current Expected Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which changes the impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical experience, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU as of July 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

The revenues from each major source are summarized in the following table:

	For the three months ended March 31,				For the nine months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Management fees	$	1,462	$	1,384	$	4,314	$	4,067

Property management fees		300		278		875		830
Administration and service fees		362		236		1,051		740
Total revenues	$	2,787	$	1,898	$	8,916	$	5,637

The Company recognizes investment management revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for providing services to its customers. Investment management revenue primarily consists of fees based on a percentage of assets under management, fees based on the performance of managed assets, and administration and service fees. Fees are based on agreements with each investment product and may be terminated at any time by either party subject to the specific terms of each respective agreement.

Management Fees

The Company earns management fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with Great Elm Capital Corp. (GECC), Monomoy Properties UpREIT, LLC (Monomoy UpREIT), the operating partnership of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC, and other private funds managed by GECM (collectively, the Funds). The performance obligation is satisfied and management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered, since the Funds simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided as GECM performs services. Management fee rates range from 1.0% to 1.5% of the management fee assets specified within each agreement and are calculated and billed in arrears of the period, either monthly or quarterly.

Property Management Fees

Under the Monomoy UpREIT investment management agreement, GECM is also entitled to 4.0% of rent collected. These fees are collected monthly in arrears. Property management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided.

Incentive Fees

The Company earns incentive fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with GECC, Monomoy Properties II, LLC (MP II), a feeder fund of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC and other private funds managed by GECM. Where an investment management agreement includes both management fees and incentive fees, the performance obligation is considered to be a single obligation for both fees. Incentive fees are variable consideration associated with the investment management agreements. Incentive fees are earned based on investment performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels or high-water marks, in accordance with the terms of the respective investment management agreements. Incentive fees are typically 20% of the performance-based metric specified within each agreement. Incentive fees are recognized when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded revenue in respect to the incentive fees due from GECC of $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Administration Fees

The Company earns administration fees based on the administration agreement GECM has with GECC whereby the investment vehicles reimburse GECM for costs incurred in performing certain administrative functions. This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Administration fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflect agreed upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation for each investment vehicle that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.

The Company also earns services fees based on a shared services agreement with Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC (ICAM). This revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Service fees are billed quarterly in arrears, which is consistent with the timing of the delivery of services and reflects agreed-upon rates for the services provided. The services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is a series of distinct services with substantially the same pattern of transfer as the services are provided on a daily basis.
