Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes that are normally included in the Company’s Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. The historical results of our Durable Medical Equipment ( DME ) business and related activity have been presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( US GAAP ) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates associated with accounting for asset acquisitions, and fair value measurements, including stock-based compensation. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates. Principles of Consolidation The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. In most cases, a controlling financial interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests. We consolidate a variable interest entity ( VIE ) when we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent company’s equity or outside of permanent equity for non-controlling interests that are contingently redeemable. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of exchange-traded money market funds and U.S. treasury bills. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured. Investments in Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities consist of debt securities, such as U.S. treasury bills with original maturity exceeding 90 days. The Company classifies investments in debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale. Securities are classified as trading if they are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. Investments in debt securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost with realized gains and losses reported within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2024 , GEG had no investments in marketable securities. Investments, at Fair Value Investments, at fair value, consist of equity and equity-related securities carried at fair value, as well as investments in private funds measured using the net asset value ( NAV ) as reported by each fund’s investment manager. The private funds calculate NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies , as of the valuation date. Changes in the fair value and NAV are recorded within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Dividends received are recorded within dividends and interest income on the consolidated statements of operations. Real Estate under Development Real estate under development is classified as follows: (i) real estate under development (current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of within one year of the balance sheet date; (ii) real estate under development (non-current), which includes real estate projects that are in the process of being developed and expected to be completed and disposed of more than one year from the balance sheet date; and (iii) real estate held for sale, which includes land and completed improvements thereon that meet all of the “held for sale” criteria. Real estate under development is carried at cost less impairment, if applicable. We capitalize costs that are directly identifiable with the specific real estate projects, including pre-acquisition and pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, taxes, and insurance. We do not capitalize any general and administrative or overhead costs, regardless of whether the costs are internal or paid to third parties. Capitalization begins when the activities related to development have begun and ceases when activities are substantially complete and the asset is available for occupancy. Real estate held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. If an asset’s fair value less cost to sell, based on discounted future cash flows, management estimates or market comparisons, is less than its carrying amount, an allowance is recorded against the asset. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include real estate under development, property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets, and lease right-of-use assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded when undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by an asset are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, management estimates or market comparisons. Leases We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract considering all relevant facts and circumstances, which normally does not require significant judgment. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in our leases is generally not readily determinable, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives. The Company’s office leases typically require reimbursements to the lessor for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating costs, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease components as a single lease component. Earnings per Share The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: For the three months ended December 31, For the six months ended December 31, (in thousands except per share amounts) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net (loss) income from continuing operations $ 1,354 $ ( 239 ) $ 4,328 $ 2,519 Less: net income attributable to non-controlling interest, continuing operations 178 111 513 111 Numerator for basic EPS - Net (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Great Elm Group, Inc. $ 1,176 $ ( 350 ) $ 3,815 $ 2,408 Net income from discontinued operations - - - 16 Numerator for basic EPS - Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, attributable to Great Elm Group, Inc. $ - $ - $ - $ 16 Effect of dilutive securities: Interest expense associated with Convertible Notes, continuing operations $ - $ - $ 939 $ - Numerator for diluted EPS - Net (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Great Elm Group, Inc., after the effect of dilutive securities $ 1,176 $ ( 350 ) $ 4,754 $ 2,408 Numerator for diluted EPS - Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, attributable to Great Elm Group, Inc. $ - $ - $ - $ 16 Denominator: Denominator for basic EPS - Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 27,983 29,889 28,531 29,734 Effect of dilutive securities: Restricted stock 784 - 784 1,182 Convertible Notes - - 10,478 - Denominator for diluted EPS - Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding after the effect of dilutive securities 28,767 29,889 39,793 30,916 Net income attributable to shareholders per share (1) Basic $ 0.04 $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.13 $ 0.08 Diluted $ 0.04 $ ( 0.01 ) 0.12 0.08 (1) Per share amounts from discontinued operations round to less than $ 0.01 .
