ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS B. Riley Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide investment banking, brokerage, wealth management, asset management, direct lending, business advisory, valuation, and asset disposition services to a broad client base spanning public and private companies, financial sponsors, investors, financial institutions, legal and professional services firms, and individuals. The Company also has a portfolio of communication related businesses that provide consumer Internet access and cloud communication services and consumer related businesses that consist of a brands portfolio, which provides licensing of trademarks and brand investments, and Targus Cayman Holdco Limited (“Targus”), which designs and sells laptop and computer accessories. The Company operates in six reportable operating segments: (i) Capital Markets, through which the Company provides investment banking, corporate finance, securities lending, restructuring, research, sales and trading services to corporate and institutional clients; (ii) Wealth Management, through which the Company provides wealth management and tax services to corporate and high-net-worth clients; (iii) Auction and Liquidation, through which the Company provides auction and liquidation services to help clients dispose of assets that include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real property; (iv) Financial Consulting, through which the Company provides bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting, real estate consulting and valuation and appraisal services; (v) Communications, through which the Company provides consumer Internet access and related subscription services, cloud communication services, and mobile phone voice, text, and data services and devices; (vi) Consumer, including brands, which generates revenue through the licensing of trademarks, and Targus, which generates revenue through sales of laptop and computer accessories. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure to reflect organizational changes from recent acquisitions and the manner in which capital is allocated. The Consumer segment includes the previously reported Brands segment and Targus, which the Company acquired in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has also re-aligned its previously reported Principal Investments - Communications and Other segment into the Communications segment and the All Other category that is reported with Corporate and Other. On October 18, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Targus in a transaction pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The purchase price consideration totaled $247,546, which consisted of $112,686 in cash, $54,000 in seller financing, $59,016 in 6.75% senior notes due 2024, $15,328 in shares of the Company's common stock and stock options, and $6,515 in deferred payments. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting for this acquisition. Goodwill of $75,753 and other intangible assets of $89,000 were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition complements the Company's existing investments and offers potential growth to the Company's portfolio of steady-cash generative businesses. To finance part of this acquisition, on October 18, 2022, the Company's subsidiary, Tiger US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, among others, entered into a credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as agent and security trustee for a five-year $28,000 term loan and a five-year $85,000 revolver loan. On May 31, 2022, the Company converted $17,500 of a loan receivable with Lingo Management, LLC (“Lingo”) into equity and the Company's ownership interest in Lingo increased from 40% to 80%. This resulted in the consolidation of Lingo and the pre-existing equity method investment was remeasured at fair value resulting in the recognition of other income - realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the amount of $6,790, which is included in trading (losses) income and fair value adjustments on loans in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon the consolidation of Lingo on May 31, 2022, the total fair value of the assets of Lingo was $116,500 and the fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest was $8,021 and goodwill of $34,412 and other intangible assets of $63,000 were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On February 24, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 20% ownership in Lingo, increasing the Company's ownership interest from 80% to 100%. The Company also completed the acquisitions of BullsEye Telecom (“BullsEye”), FocalPoint Securities, LLC (“FocalPoint”), and Atlantic Coast Fibers, LLC (“ACR”) (and related businesses), and other immaterial business during the year ended December 31, 2022. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting for these acquisitions, which were not material to our consolidated financial statements. The aggregate purchase price consideration consisted of $145,987 in cash, $20,320 in issuance of common stock of the Company, $52,969 in assumed debt and other consideration payable. The purchase price allocation consisted of $151,925 in goodwill, $52,860 in

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B. Riley Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest. In addition, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) including ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Note 3(ab) for further discussion. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as valuation of securities, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of loans receivables, intangible assets and goodwill, share based arrangements, contingent consideration, accounting for income tax valuation allowances, recovery of contract assets, and sales returns and allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ. (c) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. Revenues from contracts with customers in the Capital Markets segment, Wealth Management segment, Auction and Liquidation segment, Financial Consulting segment, Communications segment, Consumer segment, and the All Other category are primarily comprised of the following: Capital Markets segment Fees earned from corporate finance and investment banking services are derived from debt, equity and convertible securities offerings in which the Company acted as an underwriter or placement agent. Fees from underwriting activities are recognized as revenues when the performance obligation for the services related to the underwriting transaction is satisfied under the terms of the engagement and is not subject to any other contingencies. Fees are also earned from financial advisory and consulting services rendered in connection with client mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, recapitalizations and other strategic transactions. The performance obligation for financial advisory services is satisfied over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. The performance obligation for financial advisory services may also include success and performance-based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. Generally, it is probable that the revenue recognized is no longer subject to significant reversal upon the closing of the investment banking transaction. Fees from asset management services are recognized over the period the performance obligation for the services are provided. Asset management fees are primarily comprised of fees for asset management services and are generally based on the dollar amount of the assets being managed. Revenues from sales and trading are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and include commissions resulting from equity securities transactions executed as agent or principal and are recorded on a trade date basis and fees paid for equity research. Revenues from other sources in the Capital Markets segment is primarily comprised of (i) interest income from loans receivable and securities lending activities, (ii) related net trading gains and losses from market making activities, the commitment of capital to facilitate customer orders and fair value adjustments on loans, (iii) trading activities from investments in securities for the Company’s account, and (iv) other income. Interest income from securities lending activities consists of interest income from equity and fixed income securities that are borrowed from one party and loaned to another. The Company maintains relationships with a broad group of banks and broker-dealers to facilitate the sourcing, borrowing and lending of equity and fixed income securities in a “matched book” to limit the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the market value or securities borrowed and securities loaned. Other revenues include (i) net trading gains and losses from market making activities in the Company’s fixed income group, (ii) carried interest from the Company’s asset management recognized as earnings from financial assets within the scope of ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures , and therefore will not be in the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers . In accordance with ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures , the Company records investment income based on the change in the Company’s proportionate claim on net assets of the investment fund, including performance-based capital allocations, assuming the investment fund was liquidated as of each reporting date pursuant to each fund’s governing agreements, and (iii) other miscellaneous income. Wealth Management segment Fees from wealth management asset advisory services consist primarily of investment advisory fees that are recognized over the period the performance obligation for the services is provided. Investment advisory and asset management fees are primarily comprised of fees for investment services and are generally based on the dollar amount of the assets being managed. Investment advisory fee revenues as a principal registered investment advisor (“RIA”) are recognized on a gross basis. Asset management fee revenues as an agent are recognized on a net basis. Revenues from sales and trading are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and include commissions resulting from equity securities transactions executed as agent and are recorded on a trade date basis. Auction and Liquidation segment Commission and fees earned on the sale of goods at Auction and Liquidation sales are recognized when evidence of a contract or arrangement exists, the transaction price has been determined, and the performance obligation has been satisfied when control of the product and risks of ownership has been transferred to the buyer. The commission and fees earned for these services are included in revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Under these types of arrangements, revenues also include contractual reimbursable costs. Revenues earned from Auction and Liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for the Company’s contracts because it best depicts the transfer of services to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the contract include labor and other direct costs incurred by the company related to the contract. Due to the nature of the guarantees and performance obligations under these contracts, the estimation of revenue that is ultimately earned is complex and subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price upon completion of the Company’s performance obligations under the contract. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price at the most likely amount it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether or not to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance under the contract taking into consideration all historical, current and forecasted information that is reasonably available to the Company. Costs that directly relate to the contract and expected to be recoverable are capitalized as an asset and included in advances against customer contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized as the services are transferred to the customer over the contract period, which generally does not exceed six months, and the expense is recognized as a component of direct cost of services. If, during the auction or liquidation sale, the Company determines that the total costs to be incurred on a performance obligation under a contract exceeds the total estimated revenues to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. If the Company determines that the variable consideration used in the initial determination of the transaction price for the contract is such that the total recoveries from the auction or liquidation will not exceed the guaranteed recovery values or advances made in accordance with the contract, the transaction price will be reduced and a loss or negative revenue could result from the performance obligation. A provision for the entire loss as negative revenue on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. Financial Consulting segment Revenues in the Financial Consulting segment are primarily comprised of fees earned from providing bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting, real estate consulting and valuation and appraisal services. Fees earned from bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting and real estate consulting services are rendered to clients over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. Fees may also include success and performance-based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. Revenues for valuation and appraisal services are recognized when the performance obligation is completed and is generally at the point in time upon delivery of the report to the customer. Revenues in the Financial Consulting segment also include contractual reimbursable costs. Communications segment Revenues in the Communications segment are primarily comprised of subscription services revenues which consist of fees charged to United Online pay accounts; revenues from the sale of the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. (“magicJack”) access rights; revenues from access rights renewals and mobile apps; prepaid minutes revenues; revenues from access and wholesale charges; service revenue from unified communication as a service (“UCaaS”) hosting services; and revenues from mobile phone voice, text, and data services. Products revenues consist of revenues from the sale of magicJack, mobile phone, and mobile broadband service devices, including the related shipping and handling and installation fees, if applicable. This segment’s revenues also include advertising revenues which consist primarily of amounts from the Company’s Internet search partner that are generated as a result of users utilizing the partner’s Internet search services and amounts generated from display advertisements. The Company recognizes such advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed or, for performance-based arrangements, when the related performance criteria are met. Subscription service revenues are recognized over time in the service period in which the transaction price has been determinable and the related performance obligations for services are provided to the customer. Fees charged to customers in advance are initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue and then recognized ratably over the service period as the performance obligations are provided. Product revenues for hardware and shipping are recognized at the time of delivery. Revenues from sales of devices and services represent revenues recognized from sales of the magicJack devices to retailers or direct to customers, net of returns, and rights to access the Company’s servers over the period associated with the access right period, and from sales of mobile phones and voice, text, and data services. The transaction price for devices is allocated between equipment and service based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenues allocated to devices are recognized upon delivery (when control transfers to the customer), and service revenue is recognized ratably over the service term. The Company estimates the return of magicJack device direct sales as part of the transaction price using a six-month rolling average of historical returns. Consumer segment Revenues in the Consumer segment primarily consists of the global sales of notebook computer carrying cases and computer accessories; licensing revenues from various licensing agreements that provide revenue based on guaranteed minimum royalty amounts and advertising/marketing fees with additional royalty revenue based on a percentage of defined sales. Global sales of consumer goods to customers are subject to contracts that contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer which is generally upon product shipment. Customers consist primarily of equipment manufacturers, distributors (servicing resellers and corporate end-customers), and retailers. Generally, the terms of the contracts for the sale of global goods do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to products with defects or damages. Licensing revenues include guaranteed minimum royalty amounts that are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Royalty payments exceeding the guaranteed minimum amounts in a specific contract year are recognized only subsequent to when the guaranteed minimum amount has been achieved. Other licensing fees are recognized at a point in time once the performance obligations have been satisfied. Payments received as consideration for the grant of a license are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement. Advanced royalty payments are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized as revenue when earned. Royalty revenue is not recognized unless collectability is probable. All Other Revenue from the All Other category, which is not a reportable segment, includes income from a regional environmental services business in the New York metropolitan area and a landscaping business in the southeast United States. The environmental services business is engaged in the recycling of scrap and waste materials and deals primarily in paper products. The business provides processing services that consists of the receipt of materials from municipalities and commercial entities that is then sorted and then disposed of or sold, using third-party processors as needed. The businesses's customer arrangements contain a single obligation to transfer processed recycled goods and revenues are recognized at a point in time as processing fees when the performance obligation is satisfied. The pricing for recyclable materials can fluctuate based upon market conditions and the business has certain arrangements with customers to reduce the risk exposure to commodity pricing volatility through revenue sharing (or processing fee) contracts with customers. The landscaping business provides landscaping maintenance, improvements, and irrigation services to its customers. Revenues are recognized as the services are performed, which is typically ratably over the term of the contract. The business recognizes revenues as it transfers control of services to its customers in an amount reflecting the total consideration it expects to receive from the customer. (d) Direct Cost of Services Direct cost of services relates to service and fee revenues. Direct costs of services include participation in profits under collaborative arrangements in which the Company is a majority participant. Direct costs of services also include the cost of consultants and other direct expenses related to Auction and Liquidation contracts pursuant to commission and fee-based arrangements in the Auction and Liquidation segment. Direct cost of services in the Communications segment include cost of telecommunications and data center costs, personnel and overhead-related costs associated with operating the Company’s networks, servers and data centers, sales commissions associated with multi-year service plans, depreciation of network computers and equipment, amortization expense, third party advertising sales commissions, license fees, costs related to providing customer support, costs related to customer billing and processing of customer credit cards and associated bank fees. Direct cost of services does not include an allocation of the Company’s overhead costs. (e) Interest Expense - Securities Lending Activities Interest expense from securities lending activities is included in operating expenses related to operations in the Capital Markets segment. Interest expense from securities lending activities is incurred from equity and fixed income securities that are loaned to the Company and totaled $66,495, $51,753, and $40,490 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. (f) Concentration of Risk Revenues in the Capital Markets, Financial Consulting, Wealth Management, and Communications segments are primarily generated in the United States. Revenues in the Auction and Liquidation segment and Consumer segment are primarily generated in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe. The Company maintains cash in various federally insured banking institutions. The account balances at each institution periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company also has substantial cash balances from proceeds received from auctions and liquidation engagements that are distributed to parties in accordance with the collaborative arrangements. The Company’s activities in the Auction and Liquidation segment are executed frequently with, and on behalf of, distressed customers and secured creditors. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in economic, industry, or geographical factors. The Company seeks to control its credit risk and potential risk concentration through risk management activities that limit the Company’s exposure to losses on any one specific liquidation services contract or concentration within any one specific industry. To mitigate the exposure to losses on any one specific liquidations services contract, the Company sometimes conducts operations with third parties through collaborative arrangements. (g) Advertising Expenses The Company expenses advertising costs, which consist primarily of costs for printed materials, as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $11,434, $3,681, and $3,013 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Advertising expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. (h) Share-Based Compensation The Company’s share-based payment awards principally consist of grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and costs associated with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, share-based payment awards are classified as either equity or liabilities. For equity-classified awards, the Company measures compensation cost for the grant of membership interests at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. In June 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”) which allows eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price that is 85% of the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, the Company is required to recognize compensation expense relating to shares offered under the Purchase Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $369, $758, and $377 respectively, related to the Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 362,986 and 450,717 shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan, respectively. (i) Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. (k) Restricted Cash As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, restricted cash included $2,308 and $927, respectively, primarily consisting of cash collateral for leases. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of the following: December 31, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 268,618 $ 278,933 Restricted cash 2,308 927 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 270,926 $ 279,860 (l) Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded based upon the amount of cash advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions facilitate the settlement process and require the Company to deposit cash or other collateral with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash. The amount of collateral required to be deposited for securities borrowed, or received for securities loaned, is an amount generally in excess of the market value of the applicable securities borrowed or loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained, or excess collateral recalled, when deemed appropriate. The Company accounts for securities lending transactions in accordance with ASC 210 - Balance Sheet , which requires companies to report disclosures of offsetting assets and liabilities. The Company does not net securities borrowed and securities loaned and these items are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets. (m) Due from/to Brokers, Dealers, and Clearing Organizations The Company clears all of its proprietary and customer transactions through other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis. The amount receivable from or payable to the clearing brokers represents the net of proceeds from unsettled securities sold, the Company’s clearing deposits and amounts receivable for commissions less amounts payable for unsettled securities purchased by the Company and amounts payable for clearing costs and other settlement charges. This amount also includes the cash collateral received for securities loaned less cash collateral for securities borrowed. Any amounts payable would be fully collateralized by all of the securities owned by the Company and held on deposit at the clearing broker. (n) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s Auction and Liquidation, Financial Consulting, Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Communications, and Consumer customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes the expected loss model. Management also considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s bad debt expense and changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are included in Note 7. (o) Inventories Inventories are substantially all finished goods from the Consumer and Communications segments and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories to reflect its estimate of realizable value of the inventory based on historical sales and recoveries. Inventories are included in prepaid and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. (p) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases with terms greater than twelve months are included in right-of-use assets, with the related liabilities included in operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as fair market value adjustments, utilities, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. The Company's lease terms include rent escalations and options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. See Note 11 for additional information on leases. (q) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment held under finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense on property and equipment was $5,677, $3,865, and $3,632 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. (r) Loans Receivable Under ASC 326 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , the Company elected the fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable. Under the fair value option, loans receivables are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit value in an orderly transaction and unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Loans receivable, at fair value totaled $701,652 and $873,186 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The loans have various maturities through March 2027. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate cost of loans receivable accounted for under the fair value option was $769,022 and $877,527, respectively, which included principal balances of $772,873 and $886,831, respectively, and unamortized costs, origination fees, premiums and discounts, totaling $3,851 and $9,304, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded net unrealized losses of $54,439, net unrealized gains of $10,035, and net unrealized losses of 22,033, respectively, on loans receivable, at fair value, which is included in trading income and fair value adjustments on loans on the consolidated statements of operations. Loans receivable, at fair value on non-accrual was $7,153 as of December 31, 2022, which represents approximately 1.0% of total loans receivable, at fair value as of December 31, 2022. The Company may periodically provide limited guarantees to third parties for loans that are made to investment banking and lending customers. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has provided limited guarantees with respect to Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W”) as further described in Note 19(b). In accordance with the credit loss standard, the Company evaluates the need to record an allowance for credit losses for these loan guarantees since they have off-balance sheet credit exposures. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any provision for credit losses on the B&W guarantees since the Company believes that there is sufficient collateral to protect the Company from any credit loss exposure. Interest income on loans receivable is recognized based on the stated interest rate of the loan on the unpaid principal balance plus the amortization of any costs, origination fees, premiums and discounts and is included in interest income - loans and securities lending on the consolidated statements of operations. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income over the lives of the related loans. Unearned income, discounts, and premiums are amortized to interest income using a level yield methodology. Badcock Loan Receivable On December 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement with W.S. Badcock Corporation, a Florida corporation (“WSBC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franchise Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FRG”). The Company paid $400,000 in cash to WSBC for the purchase of certain consumer credit receivables of WSBC. The accounting for this transaction resulted in the C

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements As previously disclosed in Note 2, in connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified a classification error of dividend income and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain investments within revenue. As a result of this classification error, the Company has restated its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The classification error had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of equity, cash flows, net income, or earnings per share for the foregoing periods. The following tables represent our restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each quarter-to-date and year-to-date interim period within the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 and at each interim period therein. The 2022 quarterly restatements will be effective with the filing of our future 2023 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statement filings in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The financial information as previously reported for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 were derived from our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on November 4, 2022, July 29, 2022, and May 6, 2022, respectively.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS 2022 Acquisitions Acquisition of Targus On October 18, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Targus in a transaction pursuant to Purchase Agreement with Targus, the sellers identified therein, and the other parties thereto. The purchase price consideration totaled $247,546, which consisted of cash in the amount of $112,686, seller financing of $54,000, the issuance of $59,016 in 6.75% senior notes due 2024, the issuance of $15,328 of the Company’s common stock and stock options, and deferred payments of $6,515. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting for this acquisition. Goodwill of $75,753 and other intangible assets of $89,000 were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition complements the Company’s existing investments and offers potential growth to the Company’s operations in the Consumer segment. The assets and liabilities of Targus, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the October 18, 2022 acquisition date. Acquisition related costs, such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees related to the acquisition of Targus, were charged against earnings in the amount of $1,921 and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. Targus goodwill recognized subsequent to the acquisition will be non-deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of acquisition consideration and preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows: Consideration paid: Cash $ 112,686 Fair value of seller financing 54,000 Fair value of 2,400,000 RILYO shares issued in senior notes at $24.59 per share 59,016 Fair value of 227,491 B.

The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of the Targus prior to the acquisition, with adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition. The pro forma results include adjustments and consequential tax effects to reflect incremental depreciation and amortization expense to be incurred based on preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired, the incremental interest expense associated with the issuance of debt to finance the acquisition, and the adjustments to exclude acquisition related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 and to recognize these costs during the year ended December 31, 2021 as if incurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations of the combined company were, nor does it reflect the expected realization of any synergies or cost savings associated with the acquisition. Pro Forma (unaudited) Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Revenues $ 1,418,291 $ 1,887,385 Net (loss) income $ (138,448) $ 461,892 Net (loss) income attributable to B. Riley Financial, Inc. $ (141,683) $ 456,144 Net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders $ (149,691) $ 448,687 These pro forma results do not necessarily represent the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021, nor are they indicative of the results of operations for future periods. For the period from October 18, 2022 to December 31, 2022, revenues and pre-tax income from Targus included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations were $77,821 and $6,899, respectively. Other Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company converted $17,500 of a loan receivable with Lingo into equity and the Company's ownership interest in Lingo increased from 40% to 80%. This resulted in the consolidation of Lingo and the pre-existing equity method investment was remeasured at fair value resulting in the recognition of a gain of $6,790, which is included in trading (losses) income and fair value adjustments on loans in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon the consolidation of Lingo on May 31, 2022, the total fair value of the assets of Lingo was $116,500 and the fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest was $8,021. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed liabilities in the amount of $32,172 and recorded goodwill of $34,412 and other intangible assets of $63,000 were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company also completed the acquisitions of BullsEye, FocalPoint, and ACR (and related businesses), and other immaterial business. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting for these acquisitions, which were not material to our consolidated financial statements. The aggregate purchase price consideration consisted of $145,987 in cash, $20,320 in issuance of common stock of the Company, $52,969 in assumed debt and other consideration payable. The purchase price allocation consisted of $151,925 in goodwill, $52,860 in intangible assets, and $2,522 in net assets acquired. The results of operations of the acquisitions which were not material, have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of purchase. 2021 Acquisitions Acquisition of National On February 25, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of National not already owned by the Company. The total cash consideration for the approximately 55% of National outstanding shares that the Company did not previously own and settlement of outstanding share-based awards amounted to $35,314. The Company used the acquisition method of accounting for this acquisition. The acquisition expands the Company’s investment banking, wealth management and financial planning offerings by adding National’s brokerage, insurance, tax preparation and advisory services. Valuation Assumptions for Purchase Price Allocation Our valuation assumptions used to value the acquired assets and assumed liabilities require significant estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets, inventories, property and equipment, and deferred income taxes. In determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must make assumptions about the future performance of the acquired businesses, including among other things, the forecasted revenue growth attributable to the asset groups and projected operating expenses inclusive of expected synergies, future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be achieved by combining the businesses acquired with the Company. The intangible assets acquired are primarily comprised of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, developed technology, and backlog. The Company utilized widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches to perform the preliminary purchase price allocations. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships and backlog are determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the estimated fair value of the trade names and trademarks and developed technology are

Subject to certain eligibility requirements, the assets of certain subsidiaries of the Company that hold credit assets, private equity assets, and public equity assets are placed into a borrowing base, which serves to limit the borrowings under the Credit Facilities. If borrowings under the facilities exceed the borrowing base, the Company is obligated to prepay the loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

In addition, the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment contain a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain Operating EBITDA of at least $135,000 and the Primary Guarantor to maintain net asset value of at least $1,100,000.

A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company’s progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of the Company’s past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties. Payment terms vary by customer with due dates varying in advance of service or upon invoice of the service or for the sale of goods with credit terms. Revenues by geographic region by segment is included in Note 24 – Business Segments. The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers: Corporate finance, consulting and investment banking fees . Fees earned from corporate finance and investment banking services are derived from debt, equity and convertible securities offerings in which the Company acted as an underwriter or placement agent. Fees from underwriting activities are recognized as revenues when the performance obligation for the services related to the underwriting transaction is satisfied under the terms of the engagement and is not subject to any other contingencies. Fees are also earned from financial advisory and consulting services rendered in connection with client mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, recapitalizations and other strategic transactions. The performance obligation for financial advisory services is satisfied over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. Fees earned from bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting and real estate consulting services are rendered to clients over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. Fees may also include success and performance based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. The performance obligation for financial advisory services may also include success and performance based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. Generally, it is probable that the revenue recognized is no longer subject to significant reversal upon the closing of the investment banking transaction. Wealth and asset management fees . Fees from wealth and asset management services consist primarily of investment management fees that are recognized over the period the performance obligation for the services are provided. Investment management fees are primarily comprised of fees for investment management services and are generally based on the dollar amount of the assets being managed. Commissions, fees and reimbursed expenses . Commissions and other fees from clients for trading activities are earned from equity securities transactions executed as agent or principal are recorded at a point in time on a trade date basis. Commission, fees and reimbursed expenses earned on the sale of goods at Auction and Liquidation sales are recognized when evidence of a contract or arrangement exists, the transaction price has been determined, and the performance obligation has been satisfied when control of the product and risks of ownership has been transferred to the buyer. Revenues from fees and reimbursed expenses for valuation services to clients are recognized when the performance obligation is completed and is generally at the point in time upon delivery of the report to the customer. Subscription services . Subscription service revenues are primarily earned from the Communications segment's service contracts and are recognized in the period in which the transaction price has been determinable and the related performance obligations for services are provided to the customer. UOL pay accounts generally pay in advance for their internet access services and revenues are then recognized ratably over the service period. Subscription service revenues from magicJack include (a) revenues for initial access rights, which are recognized ratably over the service term, (b) revenues from access rights renewal, which are recognized ratably over the extended access right period; (c) revenues from access and wholesale charges, which are recognized as calls are terminated to the network; (d) revenues from UCaaS services, which are recognized in the period the services are provided over the term of the customer agreements; and (e) prepaid international long distance minutes, which are recognized as the minutes are used or expired. Subscription service revenues from our mobile phone business include revenues from mobile voice, text, and data services and are recognized ratably over the service period. Voice, text, and data overage charges are recognized over time as the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits each period as the Company performs. Service contract revenues . Service contract revenues are primarily earned from Auction and Liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of services to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the contract include labor and other direct costs incurred by the Company related to the contract. Due to the nature of the guarantees and performance obligations under these contracts, the estimation of revenue that is ultimately earned is complex and subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price upon completion of our performance obligations under the contract. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price at the most likely amount it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether or not to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of its anticipated performance under the contract taking into consideration all historical, current and forecasted information that is reasonably available to the Company. If the Company determines that the variable consideration used in the initial determination of the transaction price for the contract is such that the total recoveries from the auction or liquidation will not exceed the guaranteed recovery values or advances made in accordance with the contract, the transaction price will be reduced and a loss or negative revenue could result from the performance obligation. A provision for the entire loss as negative revenue on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. Sale of goods. Sale of goods primarily consists of the sale of magicJack and Marconi Wireless devices, amounts from the sale of goods acquired in Auction and Liquidation asset purchase agreements, and amounts from the sale of goods from Targus in the Consumer segment. Revenues from the sale of magicJack and Marconi Wireless devices are recognized upon delivery (when control transfers to the customer). Sale of product revenues also include the related shipping and handling and installment fees, if applicable. Revenues from the sale of goods acquired in Auction and Liquidation asset purchase agreements are recognized when control of the product and risks of ownership has been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from the sale of Targus goods is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, generally upon product shipment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of product. There are no significant judgments or estimates made to determine the amount or timing of reported revenues. Sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to products with defects or damages. Advertising, licensing and other . Advertising revenues consist of amounts from UOL’s Internet search partner that are generated as a result of users utilizing the partner’s Internet search services and amounts generated from display advertisements. Advertising revenues are recognized in the period in which the advertisement is displayed or, for performance-based arrangements, when the related performance criteria are met. In determining whether an arrangement exists, the Company ensures that a written contract is in place, such as a standard insertion order or a customer-specific agreement. The Company assesses whether performance criteria have been met and whether the transaction price is determinable based on a reconciliation of the performance criteria and the payment terms associated with the transaction. The reconciliation of the performance criteria generally includes a comparison of customer-provided performance data to the contractual performance obligation and to internal or third-party performance data in circumstances where that data is available. Licensing revenue results from various license agreements that provide revenue based on guaranteed minimum royalty amounts and advertising/marketing fees with additional royalty revenue based on a percentage of defined sales. Guaranteed minimum royalty amounts are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the full contract term. Royalty payments exceeding the guaranteed minimum amounts in a specific contract year are recognized only subsequent to when the guaranteed minimum amount has been achieved. Other licensing fees are recognized at a point in time once the performance obligations have been satisfied. Payments received as consideration for the grant of a license are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement. Advanced royalty payments are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized as revenue when earned. Revenue is not recognized unless collectability is probable. Other income primarily consists of services revenues from the operations of a regional environmental services business and a landscaping business. The environmental services business is engaged in the recycling of scrap and waste materials and deals primarily in paper products. Customer arrangements contain a single obligation to transfer processed recycled goods and revenues are recognized at a point in time as processing fees when the performance obligation is satisfied. The landscaping business provides landscaping maintenance, improvements, and irrigation services to its customers. Revenues are recognized as the services are performed, which is typically ratably over the term of the contract. Information on Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligation(s) with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material as of December 31, 2022. Corporate finance and investment banking fees and retail liquidation engagement fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not included in the transaction price as of December 31, 2022. Contract Balances The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers totaled $149,110 and $49,673 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company also has $14,144 and $12,315 of unbilled receivables included in prepaid expenses and other assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $55,349 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $46,981. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded a benefit in the provision for income taxes related to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $1,820, $1,527, and $1,313, respectively. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax years commencing in December 31, 2033 through December 31, 2038, the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in tax years commencing in December 31, 2030. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits of operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. The Company’s net operating losses are subject to annual limitations in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Accordingly, the Company is limited to the amount of net operating loss that may be utilized in future taxable years depending on the Company’s actual taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes that the existing net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized in future tax periods before the loss carryforwards expire and it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable earnings will be sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets and has not provided a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $5,414 during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize the benefits related to capital loss carryforwards and has provided a valuation allowance in the amount of $66,308 against these deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits totaling $16,146 all of which would have an impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate, if recognized. A reconciliation of the amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits (before federal impact of state items), excluding interest and penalties, was as follows: Year Ended December 31, Beginning balance $ 10,826 Additions for current year tax positions 7,129 Reductions for prior year tax positions (1,766) Reductions due to lapse in statutes of limitations (43) Ending balance $ 16,146 The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local jurisdictions, and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by certain federal, state and local, and foreign tax authorities. The audits are in varying stages of completion. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, case law developments, and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes, as appropriate. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years ended December 31, 2019 to 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that its gross liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $34 within the next 12 months due to expiration of statute of limitations. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions of $531 and $4,785 for UOL and magicJack, respectively, all of which was included in income taxes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net benefit of $39 and $702 for UOL and magicJack, respectively, related to interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions primarily due to the lapse in statute of limitations. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases if stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of public traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The Company does not expect the IR Act to have a material impact on its financial position and result of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B. Riley Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest. In addition, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) including ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Note 3(ab) for further discussion.
Use of Estimates	(b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as valuation of securities, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of loans receivables, intangible assets and goodwill, share based arrangements, contingent consideration, accounting for income tax valuation allowances, recovery of contract assets, and sales returns and allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.
Revenue Recognition	(c) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. Revenues from contracts with customers in the Capital Markets segment, Wealth Management segment, Auction and Liquidation segment, Financial Consulting segment, Communications segment, Consumer segment, and the All Other category are primarily comprised of the following: Capital Markets segment Fees earned from corporate finance and investment banking services are derived from debt, equity and convertible securities offerings in which the Company acted as an underwriter or placement agent. Fees from underwriting activities are recognized as revenues when the performance obligation for the services related to the underwriting transaction is satisfied under the terms of the engagement and is not subject to any other contingencies. Fees are also earned from financial advisory and consulting services rendered in connection with client mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, recapitalizations and other strategic transactions. The performance obligation for financial advisory services is satisfied over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. The performance obligation for financial advisory services may also include success and performance-based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. Generally, it is probable that the revenue recognized is no longer subject to significant reversal upon the closing of the investment banking transaction. Fees from asset management services are recognized over the period the performance obligation for the services are provided. Asset management fees are primarily comprised of fees for asset management services and are generally based on the dollar amount of the assets being managed. Revenues from sales and trading are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and include commissions resulting from equity securities transactions executed as agent or principal and are recorded on a trade date basis and fees paid for equity research. Revenues from other sources in the Capital Markets segment is primarily comprised of (i) interest income from loans receivable and securities lending activities, (ii) related net trading gains and losses from market making activities, the commitment of capital to facilitate customer orders and fair value adjustments on loans, (iii) trading activities from investments in securities for the Company’s account, and (iv) other income. Interest income from securities lending activities consists of interest income from equity and fixed income securities that are borrowed from one party and loaned to another. The Company maintains relationships with a broad group of banks and broker-dealers to facilitate the sourcing, borrowing and lending of equity and fixed income securities in a “matched book” to limit the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the market value or securities borrowed and securities loaned. Other revenues include (i) net trading gains and losses from market making activities in the Company’s fixed income group, (ii) carried interest from the Company’s asset management recognized as earnings from financial assets within the scope of ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures , and therefore will not be in the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers . In accordance with ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures , the Company records investment income based on the change in the Company’s proportionate claim on net assets of the investment fund, including performance-based capital allocations, assuming the investment fund was liquidated as of each reporting date pursuant to each fund’s governing agreements, and (iii) other miscellaneous income. Wealth Management segment Fees from wealth management asset advisory services consist primarily of investment advisory fees that are recognized over the period the performance obligation for the services is provided. Investment advisory and asset management fees are primarily comprised of fees for investment services and are generally based on the dollar amount of the assets being managed. Investment advisory fee revenues as a principal registered investment advisor (“RIA”) are recognized on a gross basis. Asset management fee revenues as an agent are recognized on a net basis. Revenues from sales and trading are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and include commissions resulting from equity securities transactions executed as agent and are recorded on a trade date basis. Auction and Liquidation segment Commission and fees earned on the sale of goods at Auction and Liquidation sales are recognized when evidence of a contract or arrangement exists, the transaction price has been determined, and the performance obligation has been satisfied when control of the product and risks of ownership has been transferred to the buyer. The commission and fees earned for these services are included in revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Under these types of arrangements, revenues also include contractual reimbursable costs. Revenues earned from Auction and Liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for the Company’s contracts because it best depicts the transfer of services to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the contract include labor and other direct costs incurred by the company related to the contract. Due to the nature of the guarantees and performance obligations under these contracts, the estimation of revenue that is ultimately earned is complex and subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price upon completion of the Company’s performance obligations under the contract. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price at the most likely amount it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether or not to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance under the contract taking into consideration all historical, current and forecasted information that is reasonably available to the Company. Costs that directly relate to the contract and expected to be recoverable are capitalized as an asset and included in advances against customer contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized as the services are transferred to the customer over the contract period, which generally does not exceed six months, and the expense is recognized as a component of direct cost of services. If, during the auction or liquidation sale, the Company determines that the total costs to be incurred on a performance obligation under a contract exceeds the total estimated revenues to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. If the Company determines that the variable consideration used in the initial determination of the transaction price for the contract is such that the total recoveries from the auction or liquidation will not exceed the guaranteed recovery values or advances made in accordance with the contract, the transaction price will be reduced and a loss or negative revenue could result from the performance obligation. A provision for the entire loss as negative revenue on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. Financial Consulting segment Revenues in the Financial Consulting segment are primarily comprised of fees earned from providing bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting, real estate consulting and valuation and appraisal services. Fees earned from bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting and real estate consulting services are rendered to clients over time as work progresses on the engagement and services are delivered to the client. Fees may also include success and performance-based fees which are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is no longer constrained and it is not probable that the revenue recognized would be subject to significant reversal in a future period. Revenues for valuation and appraisal services are recognized when the performance obligation is completed and is generally at the point in time upon delivery of the report to the customer. Revenues in the Financial Consulting segment also include contractual reimbursable costs. Communications segment Revenues in the Communications segment are primarily comprised of subscription services revenues which consist of fees charged to United Online pay accounts; revenues from the sale of the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. (“magicJack”) access rights; revenues from access rights renewals and mobile apps; prepaid minutes revenues; revenues from access and wholesale charges; service revenue from unified communication as a service (“UCaaS”) hosting services; and revenues from mobile phone voice, text, and data services. Products revenues consist of revenues from the sale of magicJack, mobile phone, and mobile broadband service devices, including the related shipping and handling and installation fees, if applicable. This segment’s revenues also include advertising revenues which consist primarily of amounts from the Company’s Internet search partner that are generated as a result of users utilizing the partner’s Internet search services and amounts generated from display advertisements. The Company recognizes such advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed or, for performance-based arrangements, when the related performance criteria are met. Subscription service revenues are recognized over time in the service period in which the transaction price has been determinable and the related performance obligations for services are provided to the customer. Fees charged to customers in advance are initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue and then recognized ratably over the service period as the performance obligations are provided. Product revenues for hardware and shipping are recognized at the time of delivery. Revenues from sales of devices and services represent revenues recognized from sales of the magicJack devices to retailers or direct to customers, net of returns, and rights to access the Company’s servers over the period associated with the access right period, and from sales of mobile phones and voice, text, and data services. The transaction price for devices is allocated between equipment and service based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenues allocated to devices are recognized upon delivery (when control transfers to the customer), and service revenue is recognized ratably over the service term. The Company estimates the return of magicJack device direct sales as part of the transaction price using a six-month rolling average of historical returns. Consumer segment Revenues in the Consumer segment primarily consists of the global sales of notebook computer carrying cases and computer accessories; licensing revenues from various licensing agreements that provide revenue based on guaranteed minimum royalty amounts and advertising/marketing fees with additional royalty revenue based on a percentage of defined sales. Global sales of consumer goods to customers are subject to contracts that contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer which is generally upon product shipment. Customers consist primarily of equipment manufacturers, distributors (servicing resellers and corporate end-customers), and retailers. Generally, the terms of the contracts for the sale of global goods do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to products with defects or damages. Licensing revenues include guaranteed minimum royalty amounts that are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Royalty payments exceeding the guaranteed minimum amounts in a specific contract year are recognized only subsequent to when the guaranteed minimum amount has been achieved. Other licensing fees are recognized at a point in time once the performance obligations have been satisfied. Payments received as consideration for the grant of a license are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement. Advanced royalty payments are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized as revenue when earned. Royalty revenue is not recognized unless collectability is probable. All Other Revenue from the All Other category, which is not a reportable segment, includes income from a regional environmental services business in the New York metropolitan area and a landscaping business in the southeast United States. The environmental services business is engaged in the recycling of scrap and waste materials and deals primarily in paper products. The business provides processing services that consists of the receipt of materials from municipalities and commercial entities that is then sorted and then disposed of or sold, using third-party processors as needed. The businesses's customer arrangements contain a single obligation to transfer processed recycled goods and revenues are recognized at a point in time as processing fees when the performance obligation is satisfied. The pricing for recyclable materials can fluctuate based upon market conditions and the business has certain arrangements with customers to reduce the risk exposure to commodity pricing volatility through revenue sharing (or processing fee) contracts with customers. The landscaping business provides landscaping maintenance, improvements, and irrigation services to its customers. Revenues are recognized as the services are performed, which is typically ratably over the term of the contract. The business recognizes revenues as it transfers control of services to its customers in an amount reflecting the total consideration it expects to receive from the customer.
Direct Cost of Services	(d) Direct Cost of Services Direct cost of services relates to service and fee revenues. Direct costs of services include participation in profits under collaborative arrangements in which the Company is a majority participant. Direct costs of services also include the cost of consultants and other direct expenses related to Auction and Liquidation contracts pursuant to commission and fee-based arrangements in the Auction and Liquidation segment. Direct cost of services in the Communications segment include cost of telecommunications and data center costs, personnel and overhead-related costs associated with operating the Company’s networks, servers and data centers, sales commissions associated with multi-year service plans, depreciation of network computers and equipment, amortization expense, third party advertising sales commissions, license fees, costs related to providing customer support, costs related to customer billing and processing of customer credit cards and associated bank fees. Direct cost of services does not include an allocation of the Company’s overhead costs.
Interest Expense - Securities Lending Activities	(e) Interest Expense - Securities Lending Activities Interest expense from securities lending activities is included in operating expenses related to operations in the Capital Markets segment. Interest expense from securities lending activities is incurred from equity and fixed income securities that are loaned to the Company and totaled $66,495, $51,753, and $40,490 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Concentration of Risk	(f) Concentration of Risk Revenues in the Capital Markets, Financial Consulting, Wealth Management, and Communications segments are primarily generated in the United States. Revenues in the Auction and Liquidation segment and Consumer segment are primarily generated in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe. The Company maintains cash in various federally insured banking institutions. The account balances at each institution periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company also has substantial cash balances from proceeds received from auctions and liquidation engagements that are distributed to parties in accordance with the collaborative arrangements. The Company’s activities in the Auction and Liquidation segment are executed frequently with, and on behalf of, distressed customers and secured creditors. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in economic, industry, or geographical factors. The Company seeks to control its credit risk and potential risk concentration through risk management activities that limit the Company’s exposure to losses on any one specific liquidation services contract or concentration within any one specific industry. To mitigate the exposure to losses on any one specific liquidations services contract, the Company sometimes conducts operations with third parties through collaborative arrangements.
Advertising Expenses	(g) Advertising Expenses The Company expenses advertising costs, which consist primarily of costs for printed materials, as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $11,434, $3,681, and $3,013 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Advertising expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Share-Based Compensation	(h) Share-Based Compensation The Company’s share-based payment awards principally consist of grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and costs associated with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, share-based payment awards are classified as either equity or liabilities. For equity-classified awards, the Company measures compensation cost for the grant of membership interests at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. In June 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”) which allows eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price that is 85% of the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, the Company is required to recognize compensation expense relating to shares offered under the Purchase Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $369, $758, and $377 respectively, related to the Purchase Plan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 362,986 and 450,717 shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan, respectively.
Income Taxes	(i) Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect during the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash	(k) Restricted Cash As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, restricted cash included $2,308 and $927, respectively, primarily consisting of cash collateral for leases. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of the following: December 31, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 268,618 $ 278,933 Restricted cash 2,308 927 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 270,926 $ 279,860
Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned	(l) Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded based upon the amount of cash advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions facilitate the settlement process and require the Company to deposit cash or other collateral with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash. The amount of collateral required to be deposited for securities borrowed, or received for securities loaned, is an amount generally in excess of the market value of the applicable securities borrowed or loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained, or excess collateral recalled, when deemed appropriate. The Company accounts for securities lending transactions in accordance with ASC 210 - Balance Sheet , which requires companies to report disclosures of offsetting assets and liabilities. The Company does not net securities borrowed and securities loaned and these items are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets.
Due from/to Brokers, Dealers, and Clearing Organizations	(m) Due from/to Brokers, Dealers, and Clearing Organizations The Company clears all of its proprietary and customer transactions through other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis. The amount receivable from or payable to the clearing brokers represents the net of proceeds from unsettled securities sold, the Company’s clearing deposits and amounts receivable for commissions less amounts payable for unsettled securities purchased by the Company and amounts payable for clearing costs and other settlement charges. This amount also includes the cash collateral received for securities loaned less cash collateral for securities borrowed. Any amounts payable would be fully collateralized by all of the securities owned by the Company and held on deposit at the clearing broker.
Accounts Receivable	(n) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s Auction and Liquidation, Financial Consulting, Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Communications, and Consumer customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes the expected loss model. Management also considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s bad debt expense and changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are included in Note 7.
Inventories	(o) Inventories Inventories are substantially all finished goods from the Consumer and Communications segments and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories to reflect its estimate of realizable value of the inventory based on historical sales and recoveries. Inventories are included in prepaid and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Leases	(p) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases with terms greater than twelve months are included in right-of-use assets, with the related liabilities included in operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as fair market value adjustments, utilities, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. The Company's lease terms include rent escalations and options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. See Note 11 for additional information on leases.
Property and Equipment	(q) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment held under finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense on property and equipment was $5,677, $3,865, and $3,632 during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Loans Receivable	(r) Loans Receivable Under ASC 326 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , the Company elected the fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable. Under the fair value option, loans receivables are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit value in an orderly transaction and unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Loans receivable, at fair value totaled $701,652 and $873,186 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The loans have various maturities through March 2027. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate cost of loans receivable accounted for under the fair value option was $769,022 and $877,527, respectively, which included principal balances of $772,873 and $886,831, respectively, and unamortized costs, origination fees, premiums and discounts, totaling $3,851 and $9,304, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded net unrealized losses of $54,439, net unrealized gains of $10,035, and net unrealized losses of 22,033, respectively, on loans receivable, at fair value, which is included in trading income and fair value adjustments on loans on the consolidated statements of operations. Loans receivable, at fair value on non-accrual was $7,153 as of December 31, 2022, which represents approximately 1.0% of total loans receivable, at fair value as of December 31, 2022. The Company may periodically provide limited guarantees to third parties for loans that are made to investment banking and lending customers. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has provided limited guarantees with respect to Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W”) as further described in Note 19(b). In accordance with the credit loss standard, the Company evaluates the need to record an allowance for credit losses for these loan guarantees since they have off-balance sheet credit exposures. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any provision for credit losses on the B&W guarantees since the Company believes that there is sufficient collateral to protect the Company from any credit loss exposure. Interest income on loans receivable is recognized based on the stated interest rate of the loan on the unpaid principal balance plus the amortization of any costs, origination fees, premiums and discounts and is included in interest income - loans and securities lending on the consolidated statements of operations. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income over the lives of the related loans. Unearned income, discounts, and premiums are amortized to interest income using a level yield methodology. Badcock Loan Receivable On December 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement with W.S. Badcock Corporation, a Florida corporation (“WSBC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franchise Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FRG”). The Company paid $400,000 in cash to WSBC for the purchase of certain consumer credit receivables of WSBC. The accounting for this transaction resulted in the Company recording a $400,000 loan receivable from WSBC with the recognition of interest income at an imputed rate based on the cash flows expected to be received from the collection of the consumer receivables that serve as collateral for the loan. The loan receivable was measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. On September 23, 2022, the Company's subsidiary, B Riley Receivables II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (“2022 Badcock Receivable”) with WSBC. This purchase of $168,363 consumer credit receivables of WSBC was partially financed by a $148,200 term loan discussed in Note 13. The accounting for this transaction resulted in the Company recording a $168,363 loan receivable from WSBC with the recognition of interest income at an imputed rate based on the cash flows expected to be received from the collection of the consumer receivables that serve as collateral for the loan. The loan receivable was measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with these loans, the Company entered into a Servicing Agreement with WSBC pursuant to which WSBC will provide to the Company certain customary servicing and account management services in respect of the receivables purchased by the Company under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. In addition, subject to certain terms and conditions, FRG has agreed to guarantee the performance by WSBC of its obligations under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Servicing Agreement. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, loans receivable to WSBC in the Company's consolidated balance sheets included loans measured at fair value in the amount of $318,109 and $400,000, respectively.
Securities and Other Investments Owned and Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased	(s) Securities and Other Investments Owned and Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased Securities owned consist of equity securities including, common and preferred stocks, warrants, and options; corporate bonds; other fixed income securities including, government and agency bonds; loans receivable valued at fair value; and investments in partnerships. Securities sold, but not yet purchased represent obligations of the Company to deliver the specified security at the contracted price and thereby create a liability to purchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. Changes in the value of these securities are reflected currently in the results of operations.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	(t) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. Goodwill includes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and the acquisition of noncontrolling interests. ASC 350 – Intangibles - Goodwill and Other requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates six reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in Note 24. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment. When testing goodwill for impairment, in accordance with ASC 350, the Company made an assessment of qualitative factors on goodwill and other intangible assets and concluded that a positive assertion could be made that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. In performing the analysis, qualitative factors indicated that it could be more likely than not that the carrying value of goodwill in the Wealth Management segment could be impaired as a result of the segment loss incurred during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for its Wealth Management segment and determined the fair value of this reporting segment using the market approach and income approach exceeded the carrying value of goodwill. The Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill in the Wealth Management segment. No impairments of goodwill were identified during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized no impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company determined that the COVID-19 outbreak was a triggering event for testing the indefinite-lived tradenames in the Consumer segment during the first quarter and again in the second quarter and determined that the indefinite-lived tradenames in the Consumer segment were impaired. As a result, the Company recognized impairment charges of $12,500 during the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included as an impairment of tradenames in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company reviews the carrying value of its finite-lived amortizable intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $4,174 impairment of finite-lived intangibles representing the carrying amount of tradenames and software development costs as a result of the reorganization and consolidation activities in the Wealth Management segment and the Communications segment, which was included as a restructuring charge
Fair Value Measurements	(u) Fair Value Measurements The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable, and actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s securities and other investments owned and securities sold and not yet purchased are comprised of common and preferred stocks and warrants, corporate bonds, and investments in partnerships. Investments in common stocks that are based on quoted prices in active markets are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also holds loans receivable valued at fair value, nonpublic common and preferred stocks and warrants for which there is little or no public market and fair value is determined by management on a consistent basis. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities and liquidity risks. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in partnership interests include investments in private equity partnerships that primarily invest in equity securities, bonds, and direct lending funds. The Company also invests in priority investment funds and the underlying securities held by these funds are primarily corporate and asset-backed fixed income securities and restrictions exist on the redemption of amounts invested by the Company. The Company’s partnership and investment fund interests are valued based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net assets of the partnerships and funds; the value for these investments is derived from the most recent statements received from the general partner or fund administrator. These partnership and investment fund interests are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy in the table below in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements . As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, partnership and investment fund interests valued at NAV of $70,063 and $77,383, respectively, and are included in securities and other investments owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Securities and other investments owned also include investments in nonpublic entities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not report NAV per share. These investments are accounted for using a measurement alternative under which they are measured at cost and adjusted for observable price changes and impairments. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. For these transactions to be considered observable price changes of the same issuer, we evaluate whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments we hold. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, investments in nonpublic entities valued using a measurement alternative of $94,109 and $59,745, respectively, are included in securities and other investments owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, investments adjusted to their fair value by applying the measurement alternative, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not have any material assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. As of December 31, 2022, funds held in trust represents amounts invested in a mutual fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of B. Riley Principal 250 Merger Corporation (“BRPM 250”). As of December 31, 2021, funds held in trust represents amounts invested in a mutual fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of BRPM 250 and B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corporation (“BRPM 150”), which are consolidated special purpose acquisition corporations (“SPACs”). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $174,437 and $345,024, respectively, of funds held in trust related to the SPACs. The funds raised are held in a trust account that is restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of the class A public common shares of the SPACs as set forth in the trust agreement. The funds held in trust are included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has warrant liabilities related to warrants of the SPAC that are held by investors in BRPM 250. The warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis using quoted prices in over-the-counter markets. Warrant liabilities are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $173 for BRPM 250 and $12,938 for B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corporation (“BRPM 150”) and BRPM 250 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Changes in fair value of warrants are included within change in fair value of financial instruments and other as part of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests is determined based on the issuance of similar interests for cash, references to industry comparables, and relied, in part, on information obtained from appraisal reports and internal valuation models. The following tables present information on the financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In December 2021, the Company purchased an additional 71,970 shares of newly issued common stock of bebe for $612 and increased its ownership interest from 39.5% to 40.1%. The equity ownership in bebe is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The common stock of bebe is publicly traded. The fair value of bebe as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $25,423 and $43,472, respectively. The carrying value of the investment in bebe as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $40,383 and $36,662, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investment in bebe exceeded the fair value based on the quoted market prices. In consideration of these facts, the Company evaluated its investment for other than temporary impairment under ASC 323. The Company did not utilize bright-line tests in the evaluation. Based on the available facts and information regarding the operating results of bebe, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investments until recovery, the relative amount of the declines, and the length of time that the fair values were less than the carrying values, the Company concluded that recognition of impairment losses in earnings was not required. However, the Company will continue to monitor the investment and it is possible that impairment losses will be recorded in earnings in future periods based on changes in facts and circumstances or intentions. The total assets and liabilities of bebe as of December 31, 2022 was $94,401 and $45,858, respectively. The total assets and liabilities of bebe as of December 31, 2021 was $78,761 and $40,173, respectively.

Other Equity Method Investments The Company had other equity method investments over which the Company exercises significant influence but that did not meet the requirements for consolidation, the largest ownership interest being a 40% ownership interest in Lingo, which was acquired in November 2020. On May 31, 2022, the Company's ownership increased to 80% and Lingo's operating results are consolidated with the Company from May 31, 2022 through December 31, 2022 as more fully described above in Note 4. The equity ownership in these other investments was accounted for at the applicable times under the equity method of accounting and was included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Reclassifications	(aa) Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Certain amounts reported in the Capital Markets segment during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been reclassified and reported in the Consumer segment during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as a result of changes in the Company's reportable operating segments in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 24 for more details. Prior period amounts presented in Note 20 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been aggregated to reflect the Company's amended stock incentive plan. See Note 20 for more details.
Variable Interest Entity	(ab) Variable Interest Entity The Company holds interests in various entities that meet the characteristics of a VIE but are not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Interests in these entities are generally in the form of equity interests, loans receivable, or fee arrangements. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively; however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. The Company, has entered into agreements to provide investment banking and advisory services to numerous investment funds (the “Funds”) that are considered variable interest entities under the accounting guidance. The Company earns fees from the Funds in the form of placement agent fees and carried interest. For placement agent fees, the Company receives a cash fee of generally 7% to 10% of the amount of raised capital for the Funds and the fee is recognized at the time the placement services occurred. The Company receives carried interest as a percentage allocation (8% to 15%) of the profits of the Funds as compensation for asset management services provided to the Funds and it is recognized under the ownership model of ASC 323 - Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures as an equity method investment with changes in allocation recorded currently in the results of operations. As the fee arrangements under such agreements are arm’s length and contain customary terms and conditions and represent compensation that is considered fair value for the services provided, the fee arrangements are not considered variable interests and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate such VIEs.
Recent Accounting Standards	(ac) Recent Accounting Standards Not yet adopted In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. Under the ASU, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. An entity should also consider whether the existence of a supplier finance program changes the appropriate presentation of the payables in the program from trade payables to borrowings. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard, which is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820). This update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security and is not included in the equity security’s unit of account. Therefore, a contractual sale restriction should not be considered when measuring an equity security’s fair value. The update also prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. Specific disclosures related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions are required and include the fair value of such equity securities on the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Investment companies as defined by Topic 946 should apply the amendments in this update to an equity security with a contract containing a sale restriction that was executed or modified on or after the date of adoption. For an equity security with a contract containing a sale restriction that was executed before the date of adoption, investment companies should continue to account for the equity security under their historical accounting policy for measuring such securities until the contractual restrictions expire or are modified. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect, if any, this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. Recently adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers to require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 when recognizing and measuring contract assets and contract liabilities instead of only recognizing such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The update addressed diversity in practice related to the acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2022. The impact of adopting the ASU was immaterial to the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and disclosures. In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provided optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments applied only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which refined the scope of Topic 848 through optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU effective immediately. The impact of adopting the ASU was immaterial to the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and disclosures.
