[10-Q] Great Elm Group, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
Great Elm Group (GEG) reported quarterly revenue of $10.8 million, up from $4.0 million a year ago, driven mainly by $7.4 million of real estate property sales and growing project management fees. Despite higher revenue, the company posted an operating loss of $3.7 million and a net loss attributable to stockholders of $7.0 million (vs. income of $2.6 million last year), reflecting lower investment gains and higher costs.
Cash and cash equivalents rose to $53.5 million from $30.6 million, supported by $11.9 million of common stock issuance proceeds and a $7.0 million property sale. Long‑term debt remained at $26.9 million of 7.25% notes due 2027; convertible notes outstanding were $35.1 million at a 5.0% rate. The quarter included private placements: 1,353,885 shares for $2.9 million and 4,000,000 shares for $9.0 million, plus warrants valued at $0.7 million. GEG realigned reporting into two segments: Alternative Credit and Real Estate.
- None.
- None.

Great Elm Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2025
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, LLC (GECM), Great Elm Opportunities GP, Inc. (GEO GP), Great Elm Capital GP, LLC (GEC GP), Great Elm Investments, LLC (GEI), Great Elm FM Acquisition, Inc. (FM Acquisition), Great Elm DME Holdings, Inc. (DME Holdings), Great Elm Real Estate Ventures, LLC (REV), Monomoy CRE, LLC (MCRE), Monomoy BTS Construction Management, LLC (MCM), Monomoy Construction Services, LLC (MCS) and Monomoy BTS Corporation (MBTS). 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.
Change in Segments
The Company continually monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, in conjunction with an equity transaction entered into with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (KLIM) and the formation of REV (see Note 13 - Equity Transactions), the Company realigned the business and reportable segment information that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) regularly reviews to evaluate performance for operating decision-making purposes, including performance assessment and allocation of resources. As a result, the Company’s segment reporting structure is based on the Company’s various investment strategies.
As a result of the change in segments, effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company has the following reportable segments:
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, 2025. The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in those financial statements. 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.
Certain prior period comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including reclassifications made in the presentation of operating costs and expenses. Such reclassifications were not material and did not affect the reported net income (loss) for the periods presented.
8
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 as of the financial statement date. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests. 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.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Redeemable 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. Non-redeemable non-controlling interests consist of profits interest issued to KLIM in REV (See Note 13 - Equity Transactions). These profits interest are classified as non-redeemable non-controlling interests as a component of permanent equity as they are not subject to holder put rights. There was no activity to report related to the non-redeemable non-controlling interests within the condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, 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, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company does not expect the additional disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Statement. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to expand the disclosure requirements for certain costs and expenses. In January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03 as periods beginning after December 15, 2026 for annual reporting, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Debt. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies from combining operations and is expected to be tax deductible.
The intangible assets acquired include customer-related intangibles and general contractor licenses, each with a weighted average estimated useful life of

The Company recognizes revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for providing services to its customers under agreements with each investment product, which may be terminated at any time by either party subject to the specific terms of each respective agreement.
10
Management Fees
The Company earns management fees based on the investment management agreements between MCRE and Monomoy UpREIT, LLC (Monomoy UpREIT) as well as between GECM and Great Elm Capital Corp. (GECC), and other private funds (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 and MCRE perform services. Management fee rates range from
Incentive Fees
The Company earns incentive fees based on the investment management agreements GECM has with GECC and other private funds managed by GECM, and MCRE has with Monomoy Properties II, LLC (MP II), a feeder fund of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC (Monomoy REIT). 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 recognized when the contractual performance criteria have been met and when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal. Each of the contracts with customers are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the timing of revenue recognition. Incentive fees typically arise from investment management services that began in prior reporting periods. 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
Administration and Service Fees
The Company earns administration fees based on the administration agreement GECM has with GECC whereby GECC reimburses GECM for costs incurred in performing certain administrative functions. In addition, the Company earns service fees based on the management agreement MCRE has with Monomoy UpREIT. 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 presents administration and services fees and related costs incurred in performing these functions on a gross 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.
Property Management Fees
Under the Monomoy UpREIT property management agreement, MCRE is entitled to
Real estate property sales
Real estate property sales occur periodically when development projects are completed and there is a sales contract with a customer for the real estate property. The performance obligation is real estate development activities that are performed together and deliver a real estate property to a customer. Sales revenue and cost of revenues are recognized when or as control of the asset is transferred to the buyer and the performance obligation is satisfied. The control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time depending on when the transfer of control of the real estate property occurs and the completion status of the real estate development activities on that date. See Note 9 - Real Estate for additional information regarding real estate under development.
11
Project Management Fees
MCM, a wholly owned subsidiary of MCRE, has entered into an owner’s representative agreement with respect to certain third-party construction projects and earns project management fees for its services. MCS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GEG, earns fees and is reimbursed certain expenses for providing construction management services. The performance obligation is satisfied, and project management fee revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered. Given the project management fees are delivered during the construction period, recognition over time is determined using the percentage of completion method, which is based on construction costs incurred of the project relative to the total contractual costs. The Company presents the project management fees and associated costs related to such construction projects on a net basis as it is deemed to be the agent in the arrangement.
Real Estate Rental Income
The Company recognizes rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Under the terms of the lease, the Company may recover from the tenant certain expenses, including real estate taxes and other operating expenses. The recovery of these expenses is recognized in rental income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. These expenses recognized in both revenue and expense may fluctuate from period to period based on actual expense amounts.
5. 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:

Investment Management
GECM has agreements to manage the investment portfolios for GECC and other investment products, as well as to provide administrative services. MCRE has agreements with Monomoy UpREIT to receive 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 4 - Revenue for additional discussions of the fee arrangements.
Consolidated Funds
Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries GECM, MCRE 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 when the Company is no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary and will then be treated as equity method investments.
12
The Company retains the specialized investment company accounting guidance under US GAAP with respect to the consolidated funds (collectively, 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 gains or losses on those investments are included as a component of non-operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Redeemable non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Funds is included in net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interest in Consolidated Funds. The Company's risk with respect to the Consolidated Funds is limited to its beneficial interests in these funds. The assets of Consolidated Funds are not available to creditors of the Company. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs that the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary is limited to the fair value of its investments in these entities.
See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details.

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 and other administrative services provided by ICAM employees, for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries, and are included in Compensation and benefits and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, such costs were $

On October 29, 2024, the Company and Mr. Reese entered into a voting waiver agreement (the Voting Waiver
Agreement), pursuant to which Mr. Reese waived all voting rights associated with all outstanding shares (whether
vested or unvested) of the Company’s common stock for voting purposes that have been granted or awarded, and all
future shares of the Company’s common stock that may be granted or awarded, directly to Mr. Reese in his
individual capacity by the Company in connection with his services as an officer, director or employee of the
Company or its subsidiaries during the term of the Voting Waiver Agreement.
In May 2025, GECC and GECM entered into an equity distribution agreement with an investment bank (the Agent), under which the GECC may issue and sell through the Agent, from time to time, shares of its common stock. Such sales are made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The sales price per share of the common stock sold in the offering, less the Agent’s commission, will not be less than the NAV per share of the common stock at the time of such sale. Consistent with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, GECM or an affiliate of GECM may, from time to time and in their sole discretion, contribute proceeds necessary to ensure that no sales are made at a price below the then-current NAV per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, GECM contributed approximately $

6. Fair Value Measurements
GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
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 valuation techniques applied to investments held by the Company and by the Consolidated Funds varied depending on the nature of the investment.
14
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 September 30, 2025, the Company had equity investments in three private companies that were valued using a discounted cash flows model with discount rates ranging from
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.
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 September 30, 2025, investments in private funds include investments in Monomoy UpREIT, Monomoy REIT and MP II, each of which are managed by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, in addition to private funds managed by third-party investment managers. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, $

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.

Change in Segments
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company realigned the information that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) regularly reviews to evaluate performance for operating decision-making purposes, including performance assessment and allocation of resources.

This structure includes two reportable segments: Alternative Credit and Real Estate. The structure is based on the Company’s various investment strategies.
As a result of the change noted above, effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company began reporting the following business segments:
The Company has a corporate office that is included in “Corporate & Other”. The corporate office supports the segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, operations, information technology, legal, compliance and human resources.

Revenue
Revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $6.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in Real Estate property sales revenues and related cost of revenues due to a September 2025 property sale. The increase in revenues were partially offset by a reduction in Incentive fees of $0.9 million compared to the prior year period.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Compensation and benefits expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $1.7 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily driven by increased personnel due to the Greenfield acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $0.7 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, which was mainly attributable to a an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the acquisition of Greenfield. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization due to the Greenfield Acquisition and depreciation expense on a building.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense), net includes dividend and interest income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net realized and unrealized gains decreased $6.6 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to significant unrealized losses recorded in the current year period, primarily driven by a notable unrealized loss being recognized on one of our investments in a private fund in the current year period. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, interest income decreased $0.3 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, due to changes in the investment portfolio shifting away from interest earning marketable securities into other strategic private investments. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, dividend income remained flat as compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Segment Analysis
We conduct our operations through two business segments: Alternative Credit and Real Estate.
Effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we began reporting the following business segments.
The Company has a corporate office that is included in “Corporate & Other”. The corporate office supports the segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, operations, information technology, legal, compliance and human resources.
The primary measure used by CODM in measuring performance and allocating resources to the segments is net income, as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about internal operations, such as staffing and related compensation, and planning for future investments.

Alternative Credit Revenue
Alternative Credit Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a reduction in Incentive Fee revenue compared to the prior year period as fees cannot be received yet from the underlying fund until certain performance metrics are met.
Alternative Credit Expenses
Alternative Credit compensation and benefits expense increased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily driven by an increase in non-cash compensation due to a larger amount of shares awarded and vested in the current period compared to the prior year period. Alternative Credit segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal and recruiting expenses.

Real Estate Revenue
Real Estate revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $7.7 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to a $7.4 million sale of real estate property in the current year. Similarly, related costs of revenues increased by $6.1 million compared to the corresponding prior year period due to this sale. Additionally, there was a $0.7 million increase in revenue related to our construction services business compared to the corresponding prior year period given the Company had not yet acquired this business in the prior year period.
Real Estate Expenses
Real Estate segment compensation and benefits expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $1.6 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period driven by increased personnel expense due to the Greenfield acquisition. Real Estate segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to increased legal, insurance and other expenses due to increased activity at these entities and the Greenfield acquisition. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, as compared to the prior year period due to amortization of intangible assets related to the Greenfield acquisition, along with depreciation related to a building owned which was not complete in the prior year period.

Corporate & Other Operating Costs and Expenses
Compensation and benefits expenses related to Corporate & Other for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $0.1 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to a decrease in personnel costs allocated to the Corporate & Other.
Corporate & Other Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net realized and unrealized gains decreased $6.6 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to a significant unrealized loss on one of our investments in a private fund. This was partially offset by a significant realized gain recorded in the private fund in the current year period. Additionally, in the corresponding prior year period $3.5 million of unrealized gains were recorded due to a change in valuation technique for our special purpose vehicles. In the current year period, an unrealized loss of $0.4 million was recorded on these entities. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, interest income decreased $0.3 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, due to changes in the investment portfolio shifting away from interest earning marketable securities into other strategic private investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Net cash from operating activities increased $9.6 million, from net cash used of $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to net cash provided of $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, driven by proceeds from sale of real estate in September 2025 and changes in operating assets and liabilities period-over-period.
Net cash from investing activities increased $6.9 million, from net cash provided of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to net cash provided of $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, driven by settlement of related party loan receivable and net sales of investments for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Net cash from financing activities increased $11.9 million, from net cash used of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to net cash provided of $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, driven by proceeds from issuance of common stock and lower stock repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2025, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $53.5 million, as compared to an unrestricted cash balance of $30.6 million as of June 30, 2025. We also held 1,358,276 shares of GECC common stock with an estimated fair value of $13.6 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared to 1,438,079 shares of GECC common stock with an estimated fair value of $15.3 million as of June 30, 2025. We believe we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our short-term and long-term obligations.
Borrowings
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $26.9 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the GEGGL Notes. The GEGGL Notes are due on June 30, 2027, and interest 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 September 30, 2025, the Company had $35.1 million principal balance in outstanding Convertible Notes (including cumulative interest paid in-kind) held by a consortium of investors, including related parties, that 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 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, 2025 as it relates to normal and recurring transactions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and would therefore be deemed the most critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.

Our CEO and CFO participated in this evaluation and concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
