The acquisition allows the Company's Financial Assets Division to enter additional financial asset classes and distribution channels.

Through HGC, we have historically provided specialty financing solutions to investors in charged-off and nonperforming asset portfolios.

Current report
Our indebtedness consists of the Mortgage (as defined below) of $4.1 million and $2.0 million borrowed under our 2026 Credit Facility (as defined below).
Current report
On September 16, 2026, we entered into a promissory note, a business loan agreement and commercial security agreement (collectively, the “2026 Credit Facility”) with the Lender. The 2026 Credit Facility provides for a $10.0 million revolving line of credit, subject to curtailment provisions that limit the amount that may be outstanding at any time by reference to, among other things, our trailing earnings, as defined in the agreement governing the 2026 Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are permitted to use the proceeds of the 2026 Credit Facility solely for our business operations. As of September 30, 2026, we had $2.0 million outstanding on the 2026 Credit Facility, and approximately $7.0 million was available for additional borrowings. We expect to have a total of approximately $8.6 million available within the 2026 Credit Facility as of the issuance date as a result of the curtailment provisions. A decline in our operating results could reduce the amount available under the 2026 Credit Facility and could require us to repay outstanding borrowings if the amount outstanding is greater than the amount available.
Current report
In connection with the execution of the Exit Plan, we have incurred and expect to incur costs associated with exit activities, consisting primarily of professional services expenses directly related to the Exit Plan. Such costs were not material for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and are not expected to be material in the aggregate. We will continue to incur ordinary operating expenses, primarily compensation and related costs for employees administering the wind-down of the remaining loan portfolio, which are recognized as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We expect the wind-down to be completed by the end of 2027, with HGC operating expenses expected to decline beginning in the first quarter. The actual timing may differ from our current estimates and will depend on the duration and scope of the activities necessary to execute the Exit Plan.

Previous report
On December 27, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement and Reaffirmation of Loan (the “Sixth Modification Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender.

Pursuant to the terms of existing credit agreements, our largest borrower was required to collect on underlying charged off and nonperforming consumer loan portfolios and remit a required minimum monthly payment to us.

As of June 30, 2026, the amortized cost basis of loans in nonaccrual status was $4.6 million and is recorded within notes receivable. As of June 30, 2026, the Company's notes receivable balance of nonaccrual loans net of the $3.5 million allowance for credit losses, was $1.1 million

Given the senior lender's priority position in cash flows generated from the underlying loan portfolios with the Company’s largest borrower (including the impacted loans that were placed in nonaccrual status in June 2024) and the change in collection strategy as well as the senior lender's sole and exclusive authority over defaulted loans, we believe we will not recover the carrying amount of our equity method investments in a liquidation event and we have determined that the loss in investment value is other than temporary. As a result, the Company concluded the asset was impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $18.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Through NLEX, we act as an advisor for sales of charged-off and nonperforming asset portfolios via an electronic auction exchange platform for banks and other debt holders throughout the United States and Canada. Since the 1980s, NLEX has sold over $250 billion face value of performing, nonperforming and charged-off assets. NLEX sales range from credit card, secured and unsecured consumer and business loans, and automobile defaults to real estate nonperforming loans. The typical credit we broker sells at a discount to face value, and we typically receive a commission for these services from both buyers and sellers. We have existing relationships with high quality, top-tier and mid-tier debt buyers. In addition to its creditor relationships, NLEX has continued to be opportunistic as new lending facilities, such as FinTech, peer-to-peer and more recently Buy Now Pay Later lenders have expanded the availability of consumer credit. Because of growing volume in this industry, and due to continued elevated delinquency and charge-off rates, we anticipate growth opportunities in our brokerage segment as these sectors evolve. Given many of our clients' limited resources in this space, we have also implemented post-sale support, further entrenching NLEX with our dedicated clients as well as differentiating us from competitors.

The changes in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 are primarily due to the nature of our operations. We earn revenue from discrete asset liquidation deals that vary considerably with respect to their magnitude and timing, and that can consist of fees, commissions, asset sale proceeds, or a combination thereof. The operating assets and liabilities associated with these deals are, therefore, subject to the same variability and can be quite different at the end of any given period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reported segment operating income for ALT and HGC represents incremental costs for managing these segments as part of their sister segments (HGP for ALT and NLEX for HGC). As such, the reported operating income for ALT and HGC does not represent their true standalone contribution, as we do not attempt to allocate existing fixed divisional overhead costs of the sister divisions to the newer segments. Similarly, corporate overhead cost is not allocated to the operating divisions for management reporting purposes. Further, we do not utilize segmented asset information to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments and do not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.

Earnings in Equity Method Investments –Earnings in equity method investments was a loss of approximately $18.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to earnings of approximately $79,000 during the same period in 2025. The approximate $18.1 million decrease is due to the impairment charges recorded in 2026 related to the winding down of the Company’s Specialty Lending segment based upon the continuation of difficulties with the Company’s largest borrower. Given the senior lender's priority position in cash flows generated from the underlying loan portfolios with the Company’s largest borrower (including the impacted loans that were placed in nonaccrual status in June 2024) and the change in collection strategy as well as the senior lender's sole and exclusive authority over defaulted loans, the Company concluded the asset was impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $18.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
