  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes that are normally included in the Company’s Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026. The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in those financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

Use of Estimates

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

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests. We consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) when we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Redeemable non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company’s equity or outside of permanent equity for non-controlling interests that are contingently redeemable. Non-redeemable non-controlling interests consist of profits interest issued to KLIM in REV (see Note 14 - Equity Transactions). These profits interests are classified as non-redeemable non-controlling interests as a component of permanent equity as they are not subject to holder put rights. There was no activity to report related to the non-redeemable non-controlling interests within the condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

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'sadoption of this standarddid not result in a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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 Expensesto 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interim Reporting. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270)to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company has considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to the Company’s operations and the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including those that have not yet been adopted. The Company does not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. Revenue

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

For the three months ended September 30,
(in thousands)20262025
Investment management revenue:
Management fees$1,759$1,876
Incentive fees--
Administration and service fees538458
Property management fees312309
Real estate property sales-7,370
Project management fees702712
Real estate rental income2763
Total revenues$3,338$10,788

The Company recognizes revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for providing services to its customers under agreements with each investment product, which may be terminated at any time by either party subject to the specific terms of each respective agreement.

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. As such, these fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), 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. Effective February 2026, GECM has waived all accrued and unpaid incentive fees for GECC through March 31, 2026. Additionally, effective April 2026, GECM has waived all accrued and unpaid incentive fees for GECC through June 30, 2026.

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 service fees and related costs incurred in performing these functions on a gross basis.

The Company also earns service 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

MCS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of REV, 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.

  1. 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 sales price per share of the common stock sold in the offering, less the Agent’s commission, will not be less than the NAV per share of the common stock at the time of such sale. Consistent with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, GECM or an affiliate of GECM may, from time to time and in their sole discretion, contribute proceeds necessary to ensure that no sales are made at a price below the then-current NAV per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2026 GECM didnot contribute to these sales. During thethree months ended September 30, 2025, GECM contributed approximately $0.1 million to these sales.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

The valuation techniques applied to investments held by the Company and by the Consolidated Funds varied depending on the nature of the investment. The financial assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Funds are presented in Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities.

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. The securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs obtained by the Company from independent pricing services are classified as Level 2.

Equity investments that do not have readily-available market prices utilize valuation models to determine fair value and are classified as Level 3.

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. See Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities.

Investments in private funds

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

As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, 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. The private funds generally allow redemptions annually with 60-90 days’ notice. There is no set duration for the private funds.

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

  1. Variable Interest Entities

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

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on those investments are included as a component of non-operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Redeemable non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Funds is included in net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interest in Consolidated Funds. The Company's risk with respect to the Consolidated Funds is limited to its beneficial interests in these funds. The assets of Consolidated Funds are not available to creditors of the Company. The creditors of Consolidated Funds do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the respective Consolidated Funds.

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

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

  1. Segment Reporting

The Company conducts its operations through the followingtwo reportable segments:

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

Real Estate - full service, end-to-end real estate platform combining investment expertise and turnkey execution capabilities for industrial outdoor storage (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.

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.

The following tables provide the operating financial results of our operating segments for thethree months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025:
