Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 increased $1.8 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the recognition of $1.2 million of real estate property sales earned in the current year whereas there were no corresponding real estate property sales in the prior year. An additional $0.9 million of management fees were also recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period due to increased assets under management at GECC. Furthermore, $0.5 million of project management fees were recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 related to our construction services business which was not around in the corresponding prior year period.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses generally consist of unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on investments and the gain or loss realized on the sale of investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, realized and unrealized loss decreased by $0.3 million. Current period losses were primarily driven by a decrease in our investments in GECC of $1.2 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, realized and unrealized gain increased by $2.0 million as compared to the corresponding prior year period. These gains were primarily driven by $3.1 million of gains related to the special purpose vehicle which had a significant loss in the corresponding prior year period. Additionally, unrealized gains of $1.1 million were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 on an investment in a special purpose vehicle which was not held in the prior year.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by our management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025 we did not make material changes in our critical accounting policies or underlying assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 as it relates to normal and recurring transactions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 we did not make material changes in our critical accounting policies or underlying assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 as it relates to normal and recurring transactions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and would therefore be deemed the most critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.
