## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

Great Elm Group, Inc. ("GEG" or the "Company") is filing this exhibit (the "Exhibit") to the Current Report on Form 8-K solely to recast reportable segment financial information and related disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), to reflect changes implemented during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, as described in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025. The information in this Exhibit is not an amendment to or restatement of the 2025 Form 10-K.

**PART I**

**Item 1. Business.**

**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.

We decided to invest in the asset management business because of our assessment of its ability to generate recurring free cash flows, its growth prospects and our Board of Directors' (our **Board**) and employees' industry expertise. GECM, our wholly-owned registered investment adviser subsidiary, is an investment adviser providing investment management services to Great Elm Capital Corp. (**GECC**), as well as other private funds. MCRE, another wholly-owned subsidiary, provides investment management services to Monomoy UpREIT, LLC (**Monomoy UpREIT**). The combined assets under management of these entities at June 30, 2025 was approximately $758.5 million.

GECC was established in 2016 and it elected to be treated as a business development company (**BDC**) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the **Investment Company Act**). We own approximately 12.4% of GECC's shares as of June 30, 2025. We earn dividends from these shares and may sell them to redeploy our capital in higher yielding opportunities.

Monomoy UpREIT is the operating partnership of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC. Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC was formed in 2014 with the purpose of building an industry-leading single-tenant Industrial Outdoor Storage **(IOS**) focused portfolio specializing in net leased assets, specifically Class B & C warehouse, distribution & light manufacturing assets. We acquired the investment management agreement of Monomoy UpREIT in May 2022. We own approximately 5.1% of Monomoy UpREIT and approximately 4.0% of Monomoy Properties REIT, LLC.

GECM and MCRE, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, earn revenue through investment management agreements with each investment vehicle that provide for management fees, property management fees, incentive fees and/or administration fees. These fees are generally based on assets under management, rent collected, investment performance and allocable expenses incurred in the administration of these investment vehicles.

In January 2023, Monomoy BTS Corporation (**MBTS**), our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the purchase of certain land parcels in Mississippi and Florida. MBTS completed its third purchase, a land parcel in Florida, in March 2025. 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 commence upon substantial completion of the build-to-suit developments and MBTS looks to sell the land and improvements with the attached leases at, or subsequent to, the respective lease commencement date. In June 2024, MBTS sold one of its developments and in December 2024, the lease for another development commenced.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we report financial results for two segments: Alternative Credit and Real Estate. Alternative

Credit is focused on income generation and capital preservation through investment in debt and income-generating securities, direct

lending, CLOs, and specialty finance businesses including Factoring, Asset Based Lending and Healthcare. Real Estate is focused on

full service, end-to-end real estate platform combining investment expertise and turnkey execution capabilities for industrial outdoor

storage sector.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $7.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

**Discontinued Operations**

We launched our Durable Medical Equipment (**DME**) business in September 2018 by acquiring two businesses that specialized in the distribution of respiratory care equipment, including positive air pressure equipment and supplies, ventilators and oxygen equipment, and provided sleep study services. On January 3, 2023, we sold our DME business.

For additional information see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

------

**Acquisition Program**

We continue to explore other investment management opportunities, as well as opportunities in other areas that we believe provide attractive risk-adjusted returns on invested capital.

**Competition**

We face competition from larger, well financed organizations (both domestic and foreign), including global asset managers, investment banks, commercial banks, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds and state-owned enterprises. Government regulation is a key competitive factor for certain industries.

**Employees**

We had 50 employees as of June 30, 2025.

**Part II**

**Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.**

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified entirely by, our consolidated financial statements (including Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the other consolidated financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Some of the information in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results and timing of events could differ from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

**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 BDC, and Monomoy UpREIT, an Industrial Outdoor Storage (**ISO**) focused real estate investment trust, in addition to other investment vehicles. The combined assets under management of these entities at June 30, 2025 was approximately $758.5 million.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we report financial results for two segments: Alternative Credit and Real Estate. See "- Segment

Analysis" for further information.

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.

------

In January 2023, MBTS completed the purchase of certain land parcels in Mississippi and Florida. MBTS completed its third purchase, a land parcel in Florida, in March 2025. 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 commence upon substantial completion of the build-to-suit developments and MBTS looks to sell the land and improvements with the attached leases at, or subsequent to, the respective lease commencement date. In June 2024, MBTS sold one of its developments and in December 2024, the lease for another development commenced. During the year ended June 30, 2025, GEG capitalized development costs of $3.4 million attributed to the cost of land and development and construction costs directly identifiable with the real estate projects.

On February 4, 2025, GEG acquired certain assets of Greenfield CRE (**Greenfield**), a construction management company and previous partner of MCRE (**Greenfield Acquisition**). In connection with the acquisition, the Company formed Monomoy Construction Services, LLC (**MCS**), a wholly owned subsidiary of GEG, and combined Greenfield's assets with the assets of Monomoy BTS Construction Management, LLC (**MCM**) to launch an integrated, full-service construction business. MCS will be dedicated to serving the Company's various real estate businesses, as well as expanding its existing third-party consulting business. The financial results of MCS are included in the Company's consolidated results for the period beginning on February 4, 2025.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (**GAAP**). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

On January 3, 2023, we sold our DME business, which was historically reported as a separate segment. The historical results of the DME business and related activity have been presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 as discontinued operations. See Note 18 - Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Business Combinations***

Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Measurement period adjustments are made in the period in which the amounts are determined and the current period income effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are also included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration if applicable, are based on management's estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.

***Income Taxes***

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, in order to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be recovered.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets that are not recoverable from taxable temporary differences because the Company is unable to conclude that future utilization of a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

------

The calculation of the Company's tax positions involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations for federal and several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. GAAP provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable taxing authority. The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. In making these assessments, the Company determines the accounting recognition based on the technical merits of the position and consults with external tax experts as appropriate. The Company does not recognize income tax benefits for positions that it takes on its income tax returns that do not meet the more likely than not standard on its technical merits.

***New Accounting Pronouncements***

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Revenues and Cost of Revenues*

Revenues and cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2025 decreased $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in real estate property sales and related cost of revenue from those sales, as there was only $1.2 million of real estate property sales in the current year, offset by $1.1 million of related costs of revenue, compared to $6.6 million of real estate sales and $5.5 million of related cost of revenues in the prior year, due to the majority of revenue being earned on MBTS' June 2024 asset sale in the prior year and a similar transaction not occurring in the current year. The decrease in revenue was offset by a $2.6 million increase in management and incentive fees from GECC as a result of increases in assets under management from the prior year period. Additionally, $0.9 million of project management fee revenue was recognized from our newly acquired construction business in the current year period, whereas the business was not around in the prior year period.

------

*Operating Costs and Expenses*

Operating costs and expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025 increased $3.1 million, as compared to the prior year. Investment management expenses increased $3.4 million, primarily driven by increased personnel costs due to the Greenfield Acquisition, along with changes to our personnel cost allocations by entity related to increased activity at certain entities which caused increased personnel allocation to investment management entities as opposed to other selling, general and administrative expense entities. Additionally, a $0.5 million reduction in expense related to contingent consideration was recognized in the prior year period which is not applicable in the current year period investment management expenses. Non-cash compensation increased $0.3 million, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to a large amount of shares awarded and vested in the current year compared to prior year. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to depreciation related to construction completion and a related lease commencing on a building during the current year which was still construction in process in the prior year, along with increased depreciation on office furniture due to acquiring a new office space during the current year. Other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million, which was mainly attributable to a decrease in personnel costs allocated to the business entities related to other selling, general and administrative, as mentioned previously, along with a decrease in tax consulting expense, primarily driven by prior year including expenses related to previous years and entities which are no longer around in the current year.

*Other Income (Expense)*

Other income (expense), net includes dividend and interest income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses. For the year ended June 30, 2025, net realized and unrealized gains increased $14.6 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to a significant unrealized gain being recognized on one of our investments in a private fund due to its announcement of a public offering which drove up the value significantly in the current year, along with a change in valuation technique for our special purpose vehicles in the current year increasing unrealized gains on these entities. For the year ended June 30, 2025, interest income decreased $1.5 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, due to changes in the investment portfolio shifting away from interest earning marketable securities to other strategic private investments. For the year ended June 30, 2025, dividend income decreased $0.4 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to a one-time redemption on investment in the prior year period.

**Segment Analysis**

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, in conjunction with the formation of Great Elm Real Estate Ventures, LLC, the Company realigned the information that the chief operating decision maker regularly reviews to evaluate performance for operating decision-making purposes, including performance assessment and allocation of resources. As a result of this change in segment reporting, the Company retrospectively recast prior period results, by segment, to conform to the current period presentation. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Alternative Credit* - focused on income generation and capital preservation through investment in debt and income-generating securities, direct lending, CLOs, and specialty finance businesses including Factoring, Asset Based Lending and Healthcare

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Real Estate* - full service, end-to-end real estate platform combining investment expertise and turnkey execution capabilities for IOS sector

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.

*Alternative Credit Revenue*

Alternative Credit revenues include management fees, incentive fees and administration fees from managed credit funds. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, management fees from GECC increased approximately $1.2 million as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, as a result of increased management fee assets. In addition, incentive fees from GECC increased approximately $1.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 due to the underlying performance of GECC resulting in increased incentive fees earned and the ability of GECC to make incentive fee payments in accordance with the investment management agreement which requires that certain net return metrics be met in order for incentive fees to be paid out.

*Alternative Credit Expenses*

Alternative Credit compensation and benefits expense increased $0.3 million for the twelve months ended June 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal expenses. Alternative credit depreciation and amortization decreased $0.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding prior year period driven by the business entity structure change which moved intangibles to the Real Estate segment beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

*Real Estate Revenue*

Real Estate revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 decreased approximately $4.0 million as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a real estate property sale in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and there were no similar sales in the corresponding current year period. Similarly, related costs of revenues decreased by $4.4 million compared to the corresponding prior year period due to this sale. The decrease in Real Estate segment revenue was partially offset by an increase in management and property fee revenue from Monomoy UpREIT to the Real Estate segment given the change in business structure mentioned above.

*Real Estate Expenses*

Real Estate segment compensation and benefits expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 increased $2.4 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily driven by increased personnel expense due to the Greenfield acquisition and increased activity in the Real Estate business. Real Estate segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to increased recruiting, legal, insurance and other expenses due to increased activity at these entities and the Greenfield acquisition. Real Estate segment depreciation and amortization increased $1.0 million, as compared to the prior year period driven by the business entity structure change which moved intangibles to the Real Estate segment beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

*Corporate & Other Operating Costs and Expenses*

Compensation and benefits expenses related to Corporate & Other for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $1.1 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to a decrease in personnel costs allocated to the Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other depreciation and amortization decreased $0.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding prior year period driven by the business entity structure change which moved intangibles to the Real Estate segment beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

*Corporate & Other Expenses*

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, net realized and unrealized gains increased $17.7 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period driven by a significant unrealized gain on one of our investments in a private fund. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, interest income decreased $1.8 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense decreased $0.2 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period driven by a decrease in Convertible Notes compared to the corresponding prior year period.

***Income Taxes***

The Company recognized an income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The expense for the year ended June 30, 2025 consists of the recognition of income tax expense related to the deferred tax liability with an indefinite reversal period. This is offset by the income tax benefit recognized from the reversal of the prior year's income tax expense, resulting from provision-to-return adjustments. The expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 consisted of federal and state and local taxes. As of June 30, 2025, we had $7.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards

------

for federal income tax purposes, of which approximately $1.5 million will expire in fiscal years 2026 through 2038 and $6.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely. As of June 30, 2025, the Company also had $7.9 million of state NOL carryforwards, principally in Massachusetts, that will expire from 2037 to 2045.

***Discontinued Operations***

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold its DME business and the related activity qualified for presentation as discontinued operations. There was no activity related to discontinued operations during the year ended June 30, 2025. There was $0.02 million of net income related to discontinued operations during the year ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $30.6 million and investments with a fair value of $60.6 million, including 1,438,079 shares of GECC common stock with an estimated fair value of $15.3 million.

We intend to make acquisitions that will likely result in our investment of all of our liquid financial resources, the issuance of equity securities and the incurrence of indebtedness. If we are unsuccessful at raising additional capital resources, through either debt or equity, it is unlikely we will be able execute our strategic growth plan. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

Cash flows used in operating activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $9.0 million. The adjustments to reconcile our net income from continuing operations of $15.6 million to net cash used in operating activities included various non-cash charges, such as $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.2 million of non-cash interest and amortization of capitalized issuance costs, and $1.2 million of depreciation and amortization, which all remained substantially consistent with prior year inflows. These were offset by a $16.0 million unrealized gain on investments which was primarily driven by a $11.5 million gain on our investment in a private fund as its announcement of a public offering drove up the price significantly, and an additional $4.7 million of gains in our special purpose vehicles due to a change in valuation technique during the year. Additionally, the cash inflows were offset by a net negative change in our operating assets and liabilities of $14.5 million, which was driven by an increase in receivables from managed funds due to additional receivables related to our newly acquired business which was not present in the prior year, along with different timing of reimbursements in the current year compared to the prior year. Offsetting this was a decrease in purchases of investments by our consolidated fund compared to prior year due to heightened purchasing activity in the prior year by the consolidated fund, which was established during fiscal year 2024 and ramped up activity throughout the year. The consolidated fund had increased cash flows from principal payments in the current year compared to prior year due to it now being an established fund.

------

Cash flows used in operating activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $15.6 million. The adjustments to reconcile our net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million to net cash used in operating activities included add-backs for net proceeds from sale of real estate of $6.2 million and for various non-cash charges, such as $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.4 million of non-cash interest and amortization of capitalized issuance costs, and $1.1 million of depreciation and amortization, which was partially offset by a $0.5 million of change in fair value of contingent consideration payable to ICAM, $2.3 million of realized gain on redemption of Convertible Notes, $12.0 million of purchases of investments and the net negative change in our operating assets and liabilities of $11.2 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $1.3 million, which includes related party loan receivable of $8.0 million which we did not have in the prior year but which reaches maturity in January 2026. Cash flows used in investing activities also includes purchases of investments in held-to-maturity securities of $7.4 million, offset by proceeds from settlement of held-to-maturity investments of $17.5 million, which each differed from prior year due to changes in the investment portfolio shifting away from interest earning marketable securities to other strategic private investments. Further, investments in portfolio funds of $4.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 were driven by an investment in an additional special purpose vehicle during the year, which decreased from prior year due to investment in two special purpose vehicles in the prior year. Additionally, cash flows used in investing activity included the acquisition of Greenfield of $2.5 million and redemption of investments of $3.9 million.

Cash flows provided by investing activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $3.2 million which is attributed to the proceeds from settlement of held-to-maturity securities of $65.1 million and sales of investments of $6.8 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $19.6 million and purchases of investments in held-to-maturity securities of $49.0 million. Cash flows used in investing activities of our discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 of $0.9 million were attributed to investing activities of our DME business.

Cash flows used in financing activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $8.8 million primarily due to a large increase in stock repurchases and the repurchase of Convertible Notes.

Cash flows provided by financing activities of our continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $2.8 million, which is attributed to contributions of non-controlling interests in our consolidated funds, offset by a redemption of Convertible Notes and stock repurchase.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our short-term and long-term obligations for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter.

**Borrowings**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $26.9 million in outstanding aggregate principal 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 June 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.

**Report of Independent Registered PUBLIC Accounting Firm**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Great Elm Group, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Great Elm Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

***Investments at fair value - Fair Value Measurements — Refer to Note 6*** 

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

Included within investments at fair value held by the Company are equity investments that do not have readily-available market prices. The valuations of such equity investments are based on discounted cash flow models which are complex valuation techniques that utilize unobservable inputs. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these investments are classified as Level 3 assets and are inherently subjective. The fair value of the Company's Level 3 equity investments was $13,374,000 as of June 30, 2025.

Given management uses complex valuation techniques and unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of these Level 3 equity investments, performing audit procedures to evaluate the appropriateness of these models and inputs required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists who possess significant quantitative and modeling expertise.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the discounted cash flow models and unobservable inputs used by management to estimate the fair value of Level 3 equity investments included the following, among others:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation techniques and assumptions used by the Company, including the reasonableness of significant changes in valuation techniques and assumptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We evaluated the reasonableness of significant business assumptions related to future cash flows utilized in the valuation models and obtained audit evidence to substantiate the assumptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we developed independent fair value estimates and compared our estimates to the Company's estimates.

**GREAT ELM GROUP, INC.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**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 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**), 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.

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 year 2026, in conjunction with an equity transaction and the formation of Great Elm Real Estate Ventures, LLC, 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 of the change in segments, effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company has the following reportable segments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Alternative Credit - focused on income generation and capital preservation through investment in debt and income-generating securities, direct lending, CLOs, and specialty finance businesses including factoring, asset-based lending and healthcare; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Real Estate - full service, end-to-end real estate platform combining investment expertise and turnkey execution capabilities for industrial outdoor storage sector.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (**GAAP**). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 business combinations, and fair value measurements, including stock-based compensation and investments in private entities. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

The historical results of our Durable Medical Equipment (**DME**) business and related activity have been presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2024 as discontinued operations. See Note 18 - Discontinued Operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only.

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

**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.

------

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. See Note 14 - Non-Controlling Interests and Redeemable Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash**

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 the 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.

The Company's restricted cash consists of escrow accounts funded in connection with the sale of real estate assets. The escrows were part of the Company's performance obligation to the seller for construction completion.

**Investments in Marketable Securities**

Investments in marketable securities consist of debt securities, such as the 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 (loss) on investments. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost with realized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) 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 June 30, 2025, GEG had no investments in marketable securities. As of June 30, 2024, all investments in marketable securities were classified as held-to-maturity and had original maturities (at the time of purchase) of six months. As of June 30, 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 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 (loss) on investments. Dividends received are recorded within dividends and interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.

**Real Estate Assets, net**

Real estate assets are classified as follows: (i) real estate assets (current), which includes real estate development projects that are finished or 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 assets (non-current), which includes real estate development projects that are finished or 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. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no real estate assets which are non-current in nature.

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.

**Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets**

Goodwill represents the excess of fair value over identifiable tangible and intangible net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized for US GAAP purposes. Instead goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis between annual tests when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is

------

less than its carrying value. We perform our annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter, or as required when impairment triggering events are identified.

The Company's identifiable intangible assets consist of investment management agreements, assembled workforce, customer-related intangibles and licenses. These intangible assets arise primarily from the determination of their respective fair market values at the date of acquisition. Amounts assigned to identifiable intangible assets, and their related useful lives, are derived from established valuation techniques and management estimates.

The Company's definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based upon the pattern of future cash flows attributable to the asset or using the straight-line method as determined for each asset. The Company amortizes its definite-lived intangible assets over periods ranging from ten to fifteen years.

**Impairment of Long-Lived Assets** 

Long-lived assets include real estate assets, 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.

Certain of the Company's office leases contain options that permit extensions for additional periods. If we are not reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend at lease commencement, the respective extension period is not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.

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.

See Note 10 - Lessee Operating Leases for additional information about the Company's leases.

**Investment Management Expenses**

The Company classifies all direct expenses incurred under its investment management agreements, such as payroll, stock-based compensation, and related taxes and benefits; facilities costs; and consulting fees in investment management expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Stock-Based Compensation**

We issue equity awards to eligible employees and directors, generally in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The compensation cost for all equity awards is measured at their grant-date fair value. For the awards that do not contain performance or market conditions, the related compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, or the non-employee's vesting period. For the awards that contain both performance and service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period using the accelerated vesting attribution method when achievement of the performance condition is probable. For the awards that contain both market and service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period using the accelerated vesting attribution method.

The grant-date fair value of stock options that do not contain market conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which requires management to make the following assumptions:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Risk-free interest rate* is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments, the terms of which are consistent with the expected term of the Company's stock options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Expected dividend* is based on the Company's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Expected term* represents the number of years the options are expected to be outstanding from grant date based on historical option exercise experience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Expected volatility* is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price over a period equal to the expected life of each option grant.

The Company estimates the grant-date fair value and requisite service period of stock options with market conditions using a combination of the Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing models, applying the assumptions discussed above. The Company measures the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units using the Company's stock price on the date of grant.

The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The stock-based compensation expense is classified in the consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient's salary and related costs are classified or in which the award recipient's service payments are classified.

**Income Taxes**

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, in order to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be recovered.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets that are not recoverable from taxable temporary differences because the Company is unable to conclude that future utilization of a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

The calculation of the Company's tax positions involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations for federal and several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. GAAP provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable taxing authority. The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. In making these assessments, the Company determines the accounting recognition based on the technical merits of the position and consults with external tax experts as appropriate. The Company does not recognize income tax benefits for positions that it takes on its income tax returns that do not meet the more likely than not standard on its technical merits.

**Business Combinations** 

Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in investment management expenses. Measurement period adjustments are made in the period in which the amounts are determined and the current period income effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are also included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration if applicable, are based on management's estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 3,005,747 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 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 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an aggregate of 1,425,245 issued shares 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.

**Concentration of Risk**

The Company's revenues from continuing operations and related receivables are primarily attributable to the management of Great Elm Capital Corp. (**GECC**) and Monomoy UpREIT, LLC (**Monomoy UpREIT**) investment vehicles. See Note 5 - Related Party Transactions.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Standards**

***Segment Reporting Disclosures.*** In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "*Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*." The standard expands reportable segment disclosure requirements for public business entities primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit (referred to as the "significant expense principle"). The Company has adopted this standard for our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and have applied this standard retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. See Note 7 - Segment Reporting for further information.

------

**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, 2024, 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.

***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.

**3. Acquisition**

On February 4, 2025, the Company acquired certain assets of Greenfield CRE (**Greenfield**), a construction management company and previous partner of MCRE (the **Greenfield Acquisition**). In connection with the acquisition, the Company formed MCS, a wholly owned subsidiary of GEG, and combined Greenfield's assets with the assets of MCM to launch an integrated, full-service construction business. MCS will be dedicated to serving the Company's various real estate businesses, as well as expanding its existing third-party consulting business. The acquisition was considered a business combination under ASC 805, *Business Combinations*, and accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The financial results of MCS are included in the Company's consolidated results for the period beginning on February 4, 2025.

The aggregate cash purchase price was approximately $2.5 million, inclusive of certain purchase price adjustments.

The Company has made a preliminary estimate of the allocation of the purchase price of Greenfield to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in thousands)* | **June 30, 2025** |
| Goodwill | $440 |
| Intangible assets: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Customer related | 1610 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Licenses | 450 |
|  | $2500 |

---

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 15 years. The customer-related intangible was valued using a multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, which values the intangible asset by discounting the direct cash flow expected to be generated by the customers, net of returns on contributory assets such as working capital, fixed assets, assembled workforce, etc. The licenses intangible asset was valued using a cost approach that reflects both the direct costs required to obtain the licenses and the lost profits the business would incur during the time it would take to acquire them if they were not already in place.

------

Revenues and operating loss before income taxes from MCS for the period from February 4, 2025 through June 30, 2025 amounted to approximately $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in investment management expenses during the year ended June 30, 2025.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Greenfield as if the acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes the accounting effects of the business combination, including amortization of intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for information purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented, nor should it be taken as an indication of the Company's future consolidated results of operations.

**4. Revenue**

The Company's revenues are summarized in the following table:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the twelve months ended June 30,** | **For the twelve months ended June 30,** |
| *(in thousands)* | **2025** | **2024** |

| Project management fees | 941 | 75 |
| Real estate rental income | 317 | - |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total revenues | $16316 | $17834 |

---

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 investment management agreement.

*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 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. The assets under management from which the fees are calculated are variable in nature and subject to factors outside of the Company's control, such as additional investments, withdrawals and market performance. Because of this, these fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), which is when management fee asset values are generally determinable.

------

*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 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 year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded revenue in respect to the incentive fees due from GECC of $4.1 million.

*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 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.

*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.

*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. Through June 30, 2024, GECM had agreements with Monomoy UpREIT. The agreements with Monomoy UpREIT were transferred to MCRE on June 30, 2024. Under these agreements, GECM and MCRE 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 or served 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 (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 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 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 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.

**Investments**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company owns 1,438,079 shares of GECC (approximately 12.4% of the outstanding shares). Certain officers and directors of GECC are also officers and directors of GEG.

**Other Transactions**

GECM has shared personnel and reimbursement agreements for back-office personnel 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 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 years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 such costs were $0.5 million and 0.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 costs of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the shared service agreement are included in current portion of related party payables.

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 year ended June 30, 2025, GECM contributed approximately $22 thousand to these sales.

**6. 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.

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:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪*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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪*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 valuation techniques applied to investments held by the Company and by the Consolidated Fund vary 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 June 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 9.8% - 11.3% (weighted average 10.4%). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had investments in two private companies that were valued using an options pricing model with a volatility ranging from 39.1% - 39.7% (weighted average 39.5%) and risk-free rates of 4.24% - 4.38% (weighted average 4.29%). The change in valuation technique was due to additional information about the assumptions used by market participants and transactional experience.

*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 June 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, $4.0 million of our investment in Monomoy UpREIT was transferred to Monomoy REIT via an in-kind contribution which represents a non-cash transaction. As of June 30, 2024, investments in private funds includes investments in Monomoy UpREIT, MP II and Great Elm Opportunities Fund I, LP Series D (**GEOF Series D**), each of which is managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in addition to private funds managed by third-party investment managers. The private funds generally allow redemptions annually with 60-90 days' notice. There is no set duration for the private funds.

------

*Contingent consideration*

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Monomoy UpREIT investment and property management agreements in May 2022, the Company entered into a contingent consideration agreement that required the Company to pay up to $2.0 million to ICAM if certain fee revenue thresholds were 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. As of June 30, 2024, it was determined that the full target revenue threshold for the year ended June 30, 2024 was not met in full and the contingent consideration was updated to $0.4 million, which was paid in July 2024.

See Note 12 - 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.

**7. Segment Reporting**

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, in conjunction with the formation of Great Elm Real Estate Ventures, LLC, the Company realigned the information that the CODM regularly reviews to evaluate performance for operating decision-making purposes, including performance assessment and allocation of resources. As a result of this change in segment reporting, the Company retrospectively recast prior period results, by segment, to conform to the current period presentation. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Alternative Credit* - focused on income generation and capital preservation through investment in debt and income-generating securities, direct lending, CLOs, and specialty finance businesses including factoring, asset based lending and Healthcare

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Real Estate* - full service, end-to-end real estate platform combining investment expertise and turnkey execution capabilities for industrial outdoor storage sector

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.

Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, Jason W. Reese. 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. The Company does not disclose total asset information for its reportable segments as the information is not reviewed by the CODM.

**9. Real Estate**

In January 2023, MBTS completed the purchase of certain land parcels in Mississippi and Florida. MBTS completed its third purchase, a land parcel in Florida, in March 2025. 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 developments. The Company intends to sell the land and improvements with the attached leases at, or subsequent to, the respective lease commencement date.

During the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized costs of $3.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, within real estate assets, net on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing the development and construction costs directly identifiable with the real estate projects.

On June 18, 2024, MBTS sold one of its developments for consideration totaling $7.8 million. At closing in 2024, real estate development was not complete for this project. There were two performance obligations identified for this transaction. The first performance obligation related to real estate development activities completed at the closing of the property sale where the transfer of title occurred for which the Company recognized $6.6 million of revenue in 2024. The second performance obligation related to the remaining construction activities to be completed over time after title transferred. At closing, MBTS funded two escrow accounts for construction completion. During the year-ended June 30, 2025, the performance obligation was satisfied, the related escrow accounts were released, and the remaining revenue associated with this sale of $1.2 million was recognized.

In December 2024, a second development was completed and the lease commenced. Upon completion, the Company began to depreciate the asset over its expected useful life of 39 years. During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized depreciation expense totaling approximately $0.1 million in connection with the asset.

The lease is through December 2034 and contains two five-year extensions. For the year ended June 30, 2025, lease income relating to lease payments was $0.3 million.

**15. Share-Based and Other Non-Cash Compensation**

**Tax Benefits Preservation Agreement**

On December 29, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Agreement, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the **Rights Plan**). The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the possibility that certain changes in ownership could result in limitations on the use of the tax attributes, by restricting the ability of a person or entity from acquiring ownership (including through attribution under the tax law) of 4.99% or more of the Company's common stock and the ability of persons or entities now owning 5% or more of the outstanding common shares from acquiring additional common shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Plan, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a **Tax Right**) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company (the **Common Stock**), to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 29, 2018 (the **Record Date**). In addition, one Tax Right will automatically attach to each share of Common Stock issued between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Plan). Each Tax Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one ten-thousandth of a share (a **Unit**) of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at a cash exercise price of $15.00 per Unit (the **Exercise Price**), subject to adjustment, under the conditions specified in the Rights Plan.

The Tax Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the earlier of (a) January 29, 2028; (b) the time when the Tax Rights are redeemed as provided therein; (c) the time when the Rights are exchanged as provided therein; (d) the repeal of Section 382 of the Code if the Independent Directors (as defined in the Rights Plan) determine that the Rights Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of Tax Benefits (as defined in the Rights Planet); (e) the beginning of the taxable year of the Company to which the Company's Board of Directors determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward, unless previously redeemed or exchanged by the Company.

**16. Income Taxes**

The Company had income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations of $15.6 million and $(0.8) million, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. There was no foreign activity during these years.

The provision for income taxes includes the following:

| Current | $(130) | $101 |
| Deferred | 216 | - |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Income tax expense | $86 | $101 |

---

The Company recognized an income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The expense for the year ended June 30, 2025 consists of the recognition of income tax expense related to the deferred tax liability with an indefinite reversal period. This is offset by the income tax benefit recognized from the reversal of the prior year's income tax expense, resulting from provision-to-return adjustments. The expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 consisted of federal and state and local taxes.

The following table reconciles the expected corporate federal income tax expense, computed by multiplying the Company's income (loss) before income taxes by the statutory tax rate of 21%, to the total tax expense.

In light of the history of cumulative operating losses, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for all of its federal and state deferred tax assets, as it is presently unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that the federal and state deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities will be realized. For the year ended June 30, 2025 the Company reflects a deferred tax liability in the amount of $0.2 million due to the future tax liability from an asset with an indefinite life. The future tax liability from this indefinite lived asset can be offset by up to 30% of business interest carryforward and 80% of net operating loss carryforwards created after 2017. The remaining portion of the future tax liability from indefinite lived assets cannot be used to offset definite lived deferred tax assets. The decrease of $3.8 million in the overall valuation allowance relates primarily to the unrealized gain recognized on the Company's investments recorded to fair value and the expiration of federal tax attributes. The state deferred amounts reflected in the above table were calculated using the enacted tax rates.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had net operating loss (**NOL**) carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $7.7 million, of which approximately $1.5 million will expire in fiscal years 2026 through 2038 and $6.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely. As of June 30, 2025, the Company also had $7.9 million of state NOL carryforwards, principally in Massachusetts, that will expire from 2037 to 2045.

The utilization of a corporation's NOL carryforwards could be limited following a change in ownership (as defined by Internal Revenue Code section 382) of greater than 50% within a rolling three-year period. If it is determined that prior equity transactions limit the Company's NOL carryforwards, the annual limitation will be determined by multiplying the market value of the Company on the date of the ownership change by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate. Any amount exceeding the annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the NOL carryforward period. The Company has not, as of yet, conducted a study to determine if any such changes have occurred that could limit its ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforward. Given the full valuation allowance, any ownership change and potential Section 382 limitation would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

During the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefit activity was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in thousands)* |  |
| Balance as of June 30, 2023 | $508 |
| Balance as of June 30, 2024 | $508 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Lapse of statute of limitations | (176) |
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $332 |

---

The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, recognized on our balance sheet. These liabilities are primarily recorded as non-current as of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2025, the accrual for interest and penalties associated with tax liabilities was $0.2 million. As of June 30, 2024, the accrual for interest and penalties associated with tax liabilities was immaterial. These unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate in the year of resolution.

------

Although timing of the resolution and/or closure on the Company's unrecognized tax benefits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the liability associated with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities will decrease within the next 12 months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation. As of June 30, 2025, we estimate a reversal of the full unrecognized tax benefit liabilities as a result of expiration of statute of limitations.

The Company files income tax returns in accordance with the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to examination for tax years ended June 30, 2021 through the present. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which those attributes were generated may remain subject to adjustment upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (**IRS**), with the exception of fiscal years 2009 and 2010, for which IRS examinations have been completed, or by state tax authorities, to the extent such attributes are utilized in a future period. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authorities.

On July 4, 2025, new U.S tax legislation was signed into law (known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA"). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation.

**17. 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.

**18. Discontinued Operations**

In January 2023, the Company sold durable medical equipment business. The Company concluded that the disposal group satisfied the criteria for presentation as held for sale and discontinued operations. In the fiscal year 2024, we recognized a gain of $0.02 million related to adjustments to payments due to the former non-controlling interests. There was no activity related to discontinued operations during the year ended June 30, 2025.

**19. Subsequent Events**

On July 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the **Stock Purchase Agreement**) with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (**KLIM**), a Delaware limited liability company (such funds, the **Purchasers**), pursuant to which the Purchasers purchased, and the Company issued, 1,353,885 shares (the **Shares**) of the Company's common stock (the **Common Stock**), at a 20-day volume-weighted average price calculated at market close the business day prior to the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement of $2.1144 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million.

*Securities Purchase Agreement*

On August 27, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the **Securities Purchase Agreement**) with Woodstead Value Fund LP, a Texas limited partnership (the **Purchaser**), pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased, and the Company issued, 4,000,000 shares (the **Shares**) of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the **Common Stock**), at a 20-day volume-weighted average price calculated at market close the business day prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement of $2.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $9 million.
