NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or* *“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2025, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 or any other period.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, determining useful lives of intangible assets, intangible asset recoverability and impairment and accrued revenue. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain of the Company’s arrangements include licenses of intellectual property with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties. Royalty revenue is recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs using the best estimates available of the amounts that will be received by the Company.

Credit Facilities
RMM is party to a credit agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “RMM Credit Agreement”) governing RMM’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). On June 3, 2025, RMM entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the RMM Credit Agreement, which amended the Senior Credit Facility to (i) increase the revolving credit commitment from $450,000,000 to $550,000,000, (ii) adjust the consolidated net senior debt to the value of the music library ratio from 30.0% to 37.5% for the 0.25% increase in the pricing grid, (iii) reset the incremental borrowing capacity under the facility’s accordion feature to $150,000,000 after the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, (iv) exclude non wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries from the requirement to guarantee obligations under the RMM Credit Agreement and (v) modify certain negative covenants under the RMM Credit Agreement as further set forth in the Third Amendment. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company incurred banking, legal and consulting fees of $1,140,259 that were recorded as deferred financing fees, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility.
The maturity date of the loans advanced under the Senior Credit Facility is December 16, 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility is equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.00% or (ii) the sum of a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus a margin of 2.00%, in each case subject to a 0.25% increase based on a consolidated net senior debt to library value ratio. RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per annum. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, RHI, RMM and the other subsidiary guarantors are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the RMM Credit Agreement.
The RMM Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company, RHI, RMM and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, must comply with financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period, and (ii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of 0.45:1.00, subject to certain adjustments. If RMM does not comply with the covenants in the RMM Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.
As described above, the Senior Credit Facility also includes an “accordion feature” that permits RMM to seek additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $150,000,000. As of December 31, 2025, the Senior Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of $550,000,000, with remaining borrowing availability of $94,171,590.

| September 4, 2025 | | $65,000,000 | | 3.405% | December 2027 |
In September 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in the amount of $65,000,000, which is reflected in the table above. This swap had an effective date of September 4, 2025 and has a maturity date of December 16, 2027, which corresponds to the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company pays a fixed rate of 3.405% and receives a floating interest from the counterparty based on SOFR.

Income tax expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 reflects excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation and an incremental tax benefit of approximately $103,000 related to certain international intangible assets. The income tax expense during these periods also reflects the amount and mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”), was signed into law in the U.S., introducing a broad range of tax reform provisions, including changes to interest deductibility, bonus depreciation, and various international provisions with multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027.

Prior to the issuance of these RSUs, the Company classified these awards as liabilities. Upon issuance of the RSUs, the awards became equity-classified as they no longer met the criteria to be liability-classified and as a result liabilities of $1,075,407 and $802,500 were reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company’s debtors may be unable to fulfill their financial obligations. Revenues earned from publishing and distribution companies are concentrated in the music and entertainment industry. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk on a regular basis.
| (b) | Interest Rate Risk |
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its Senior Credit Facility. As described in Note 8, “Secured Line of Credit,” the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its Credit Facilities.
The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps consisted of a $642,406 asset and a $807,654 liability as of December 31, 2025 and a $1,828,303 asset and a $410,008 liability at March 31, 2025. Fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 of $270,380 and $1,583,543, respectively, was recorded as a loss on fair value of swaps. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three months ended December 31, 2024 of $3,084,761 reflects marking to market our current interest rate swap hedges and was recorded as a gain on fair value of swaps. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 of $(2,532,441) was driven primarily by the September 2024 decrease in SOFR, as well as the time value of the swaps that expired on September 30, 2024, partially offset by marking to market our current interest rate swap hedges and was recorded as a loss on fair value of swaps.
| (c) | Foreign Exchange Risk |
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in fluctuations of currency rates on its revenue from royalties, writers’ fees and its subsidiaries’ operations.
| (d) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments not described elsewhere include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Company’s secured line of credit. The carrying values of these instruments as of December 31, 2025 do not differ materially from their respective fair values due to the immediate or short-term duration of these items or their bearing market-related rates of interest.
An investment in equity securities was sold during the three months ended December 31, 2024, which resulted in recognition of a gain of $103,715 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
NOTE 15. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and contingencies in the normal course of business. To the extent the Company cannot determine whether a loss is probable based on the uncertain outcome of the claims and contingencies or estimate the amount of any loss that may result, no provision for any contingent liabilities has been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that losses resulting from these matters, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. All such matters which the Company concludes are probable to result in a loss and for which management can reasonably estimate the amount of such loss have been accrued for within these condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s business is organized inthree operating segments, one of which does not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments, andtwo reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. The Company identified its Chief Executive Officer as its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM evaluates financial performance of its segments based on operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”). The CODM regularly reviews trends in OIBDA and compares OIBDA results to budgets to evaluate the profitability of the segments. During the annual budget process, the CODM also considers OIBDA to assist in the allocation of resources to the segments.
The accounting policies of the Company’s business segments are consistent with the Company’s policies for the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have sales between segments.
The following tables present total revenue and OIBDA by segment, significant segment expenses, which are expenses that are included in OIBDA, significant to the segment considering qualitative and quantitative factors and regularly provided or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM, and a reconciliation of OIBDA to income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
