NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed 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(o) for further discussion.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to interim financial reporting guidelines and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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, and 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) 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 $35,780 and $14,544 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $68,204 and $26,310 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(d) 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,
11

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.
(e) Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs, which consist primarily of costs for printed materials, as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $5,736 and $2,594 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $10,857 and $4,357 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising expense was included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(f) 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.
(g) Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash included $2,321 and $2,308 of cash collateral for leases, respectively.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of the following:

| June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 107,581 |  |  | $ | 268,618 |
Restricted cash | 2,321 |  |  | 2,308 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 109,902 |  |  | $ | 270,926 |

(h) Loans Receivable
Under ASC 326 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, the Company elected the irrevocable fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable that were previously measured at amortized cost. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. These loans are no longer subject to evaluation for impairment through an allowance for loan loss as such losses will be captured through fair value changes.
Loans receivable, at fair value totaled $683,827 and $701,652 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The loans have various maturities through June 2026. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the historical cost of loans receivable accounted for under the fair value option was $698,531 and $769,022, respectively, which included principal balances of $703,432 and $772,873 respectively, and unamortized costs, origination fees, premiums and discounts, totaling $4,901 and $3,851, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $9,207 and net unrealized losses of $10,985, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $52,666 and net unrealized losses of $129, respectively, on the loans receivable at fair value, which was included in trading income (loss) and fair value adjustments on loans on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Loans receivable, at fair value on non-accrual was $41,656 and $7,153 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which represented approximately 6.1% and 1.0% of total loans receivable, at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company may periodically provide limited guarantees to third parties for loans that are made to investment banking and lending clients. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding limited guarantee arrangements with respect to Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W”) as further described in Note 17. 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
12

off-balance sheet credit exposures. As of June 30, 2023, 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 condensed 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. On September 23, 2022, the Company's subsidiary, B Riley Receivables II, LLC (“BRRII”), 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 11. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, BRRII entered into Amendment Nos. 2 and No. 3 to the 2022 Badcock Receivable with WSBC for a total of $145,278 in additional consumer credit receivables. The accounting for these transactions resulted in the Company recording a 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with these loans, the Company entered into a Servicing Agreement with WSBC pursuant to which WSBC provides 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, loans receivable to WSBC in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets included loans measured at fair value in the amount of $206,196 and $318,109, respectively.
(i) Securities and Other Investments Owned and Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased
Securities and other investments owned consist of marketable securities and investments in partnership interests and other securities recorded at fair value. Securities sold, but not yet purchased represents 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.
13

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s securities and other investments owned and securities sold not yet purchased at fair value consisted of the following securities:

| June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Securities and other investments owned: |  |  |
Equity securities | $ | 963,817 |  |  | $ | 1,046,710 |

| $ | 2,686 |  |  | $ | 5,897 |

The Company owns certain equity securities that are accounted for under the fair value option where the Company would otherwise use the equity method of accounting. Investments become subject to the equity method of accounting when the Company possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the Company possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. However, the Company may have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee when the Company owns less than 20% of the voting interests of the investee depending on the facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise influence is present, such as when the Company has representation on the board of directors of such investee.
The following tables contain summarized financial information with respect to two of the Company's individually greater than 20% investments, where the Company has a voting interest in each investee of 41% and 43%, respectively, which has been aggregated and included below for purposes of the disclosure a quarter in arrears (balance sheet amounts as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 correspond to amounts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of the Company; for income statement amounts during the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 correspond to amounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of the Company), which is the period in which the most recent financial information is available:

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of these equity securities totaled $365,657 and $371,948, respectively, and are included in securities and other investments owned, at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(j) 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”) in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, partnership and investment fund interests valued at NAV of $40,557 and $70,063, respectively, are included in securities and other investments owned in the accompanying condensed 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
15

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. Any investments adjusted to their fair value by applying the measurement alternative are disclosed as nonrecurring fair value measurements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy that was used. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments in nonpublic entities valued using a measurement alternative of $88,959 and $94,109, respectively, are included in securities and other investments owned in the accompanying condensed 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. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $174,437 of funds held in trust that were 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”), which was a special purpose acquisition corporation (“SPAC”). The funds raised were held in a trust account that was 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 SPAC as set forth in the trust agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the funds held in trust were included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The BRPM 250 Class A public shares were deemed cancelled on May 4, 2023, and the funds held in trust were used to fund the corresponding redemption amounts to the BRPM 250 Class A shareholders.
The Company had warrant liabilities related to warrants of the SPAC that are held by investors in BRPM 250. The warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and were measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis using quoted prices in over-the-counter markets. Warrant liabilities were included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $173 for BRPM 250 as of December 31, 2022. The warrants expired worthless on May 4, 2023 when all of the BRPM 250 Class A public shares were redeemed. Changes in fair value of warrants were 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 was 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.

(1) - Fair value adjustments represent realized and unrealized gains (losses) of which $13,920 relating to equity securities and $52,666 relating to loans receivable, at fair value were included in trading income (loss) and fair value adjustments on
21

loans and $(5,649) relating to equity securities were included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The amount reported in the table above as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included the amount of undistributed earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests that is distributed on a quarterly basis. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the senior notes payable had a carrying amount of $1,666,009 and $1,721,751, respectively, and fair value of $1,339,607 and $1,431,787, respectively. The carrying amount of the term loans approximates fair value because the effective yield of such instruments are consistent with current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk.
The investments in nonpublic entities that do not report NAV are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These investments are evaluated on a nonrecurring basis based on the observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Further adjustments are not made until another observable transaction occurs. Therefore, the determination of fair values of these investments in nonpublic entities that do not report NAV does not involve significant estimates and assumptions or subjective and complex judgments. Investments in nonpublic entities that do not report NAV are subject to a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company is required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.
The following table presents information on the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These investments were measured due to an observable price change or impairment during the periods below.

(k) Derivative and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company periodically uses derivative instruments, which primarily consist of the purchase of forward exchange contracts, for certain loans receivable and Auction and Liquidation engagements with operations outside the United States. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no forward exchange contracts outstanding.
The forward exchange contracts were entered into to improve the predictability of cash flows related to a retail store liquidation engagement and a loan receivable. The net gain from forward exchange contracts was zero during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and zero and $68 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This amount was reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies. In countries where the functional currency of the underlying operations has been determined to be the local country’s currency, revenues and expenses of operations outside
22

the United States are translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates while assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States are translated into United States dollars using period-end exchange rates. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Transaction losses were $353 and gains were $834 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and transaction losses were $587 and gains were $1,130 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(l) Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Equity of Subsidiaries
The Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiaries to reflect the economic interests of the class A ordinary shareholders in the BRPM 250 sponsored SPAC and the 20% noncontrolling interest of Lingo Management, LLC (“Lingo”), which on February 24, 2023, the Company acquired, increasing its ownership interest in Lingo to 100%. These interests are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiaries within the condensed consolidated balance sheet, outside of the permanent equity section. The class A ordinary shareholders of BRPM 250 have redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Remeasurements to the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in equity of subsidiaries are recorded within retained earnings (accumulated deficit). The operating agreement with Lingo has provisions which result in the noncontrolling interest being accounted for as temporary equity. Net income (losses) are reflected in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Changes to redeemable noncontrolling interest consist of the following:

|  |  |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Balance, December 31, 2022 |  |  |  |  | $ | 178,622 |
Net loss |  |  |  |  | (146) |
Purchase of Lingo minority interest |  |  |  |  | (11,190) |

(m) Equity Investment
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, equity investments of $46,174 and $41,298, respectively, were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investees was included in income from equity investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
bebe stores, inc.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a 47.5% and 40.1% ownership interest in bebe stores, inc. (“bebe”), respectively. The equity ownership in bebe was accounted for under the equity method of accounting and was included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The common stock of bebe is publicly traded. The fair value of bebe as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $16,511 and $25,423, respectively. The carrying value of the investment in bebe as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $44,037 and $40,383, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023, 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
23

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.
Other Equity 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 were consolidated with the Company. On February 24, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 20% ownership in Lingo, increasing the Company's ownership interest from 80% to 100%. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(n) Supplemental Non-cash Disclosures
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, non-cash investing activities included $15,000 of a convertible note receivable which was included in loans receivable, at fair value, that converted into an equity security, $1,190 of loans receivable, at fair value, was credited to the consideration paid for the purchase of the Lingo noncontrolling interest, and $2,111 of common stock issued as part of the purchase price consideration for a business acquisition. During the six months ended months ended June 30, 2023, non-cash financing activities included $7,000 in seller financing related to the purchase of the Lingo noncontrolling interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, non-cash investing activities included $20,320 in issuance of the Company's common stock as part of the purchase price consideration from an acquisition and $22,661 in seller financing for deferred cash consideration, the conversion of $17,500 of debt owed by Lingo to equity, and the repayment of loans receivable in the amount of $850 with equity securities.
(o) Variable Interest Entities
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.
Placement agent fees attributable to such arrangements were $399 and $37 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $399 and $12,088 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were included in services and fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

B. Riley Principal 150 and 250 Merger Corporations
In 2021, the Company along with BRPM 150 and BRPM 250, both newly formed special purpose acquisition companies incorporated as Delaware corporations, consummated the initial public offerings of 17,250,000 units of BRPM 150 and 17,250,000 units of BRPM 250. Each Unit of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 consisted of one share of class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of BRPM 150 or BRPM 250 class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 Units were each sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to BRPM 150 of $172,500 and BRPM 250 of $172,500. These proceeds which totaled $345,000 were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 class A public shareholders and was included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed balance sheet. These proceeds are invested only in U.S. treasury securities in accordance with the governing documents of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250. Under the terms of the BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 initial public offerings, BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 are required to consummate a business combination transaction within 24 months (or 27 months under certain circumstances) of the completion of their respective initial public offerings.
In connection with the completion of the initial public offerings of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250, the Company invested in the private placement units of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250. Both BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 are determined to be VIE’s because each of the entities do not have enough equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company has determined that the class A shareholders of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 do not have substantive rights as shareholders of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 since these equity interests are determined to be temporary equity. As such, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 as it has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of each of the entities, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impact BRPM 150 and BRPM 250’s economic performance. Since the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, BRPM 150 and BRPM 250 are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
On July 19, 2022, BRPM 150 completed a business combination with FaZeClan Holdings, Inc. (“Faze Holdings”) in a reverse merger transaction resulting in BRPM 150 no longer being a VIE of the Company and no longer being included in the consolidated group of the Company. In connection with the de-consolidation of BRPM 150, among other items, prepaid expenses and other assets decreased by $172,584 related to funds held in a trust account and redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiaries decreased by $172,500. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized incentive fees of $41,885, which was included in services and fees in the consolidated statement of operations.
On April 21, 2023, the Board of Directors of BRPM 250 approved a plan to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of BRPM 250, effective as of May 4, 2023. The BRPM 250 Class A public shares were deemed cancelled on May 4, 2023, and the funds held in trust were used to fund the corresponding redemption amounts to the BRPM 250 Class A shareholders and BRPM 250 is no longer a VIE.
(p) Recent Accounting Standards
Not yet adopted
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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
25

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 September 2022, the FASB issued 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 Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2023. The ASU had no impact on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position and was immaterial to the financial statement disclosures.
NOTE 4 — 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 a purchase agreement among Targus, the sellers identified therein, and the other parties thereto.

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.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, 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. 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, certain working capital holdback provisions in the BullsEye purchase agreement were finalized resulting in the Company receiving $672 of cash, which reduced goodwill from $151,925 to $151,253.
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 determined using the relief from royalty method. Both methods require forward looking estimates that are discounted to determine the fair value of the intangible asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate that is reflective of the level of risk associated with future estimates associated with the asset group that could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
NOTE 5 — RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
The Company had $628 and no restructuring charges during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $721 and no restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The

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 $118,927 and $149,110 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company also has $17,979 and $14,144 of unbilled receivables included in prepaid expenses and other assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer and milestone fees received from corporate finance and investment banking advisory engagements, asset management agreements, financial consulting engagements, subscription services where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied and license agreements with guaranteed minimum royalty payments and advertising/marketing fees with additional royalty revenue based on a percentage of defined sales. Deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $77,089 and $85,441, respectively. The Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue of $77,089 as of June 30, 2023 as service and fee revenues when the performance obligation is met during the years ended December 31,
42

2023 (remaining six months), 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 in the amount of $50,260, $12,500, $6,764, $3,063, and $1,577, respectively. The Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue of $2,925 after December 31, 2027.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $11,665 and $10,055 that was recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $34,167 and $24,994 that was recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective year.
Contract Costs
Contract costs include: (1) costs to fulfill contracts associated with corporate finance and investment banking engagements are capitalized where the revenue is recognized at a point in time and the costs are determined to be recoverable; (2) costs to fulfill Auction and Liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation where the revenue is recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied; and (3) commissions paid to obtain magicJack contracts which are recognized ratably over the contract term and third party support costs for magicJack and related equipment purchased by customers which are recognized ratably over the service period.
The capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were $7,908 and $5,990 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized expenses of $1,258 and $175 related to capitalized costs to fulfill a contract, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized expenses of $2,273 and $1,090 related to capitalized costs to fulfill a contract, respectively. There were no significant impairment charges recognized in relation to these capitalized costs during the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
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 obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material as of June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023.
NOTE 15 — INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of 32.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a benefit of 27.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $55,349 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $46,981, 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 the 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 June 30, 2023, 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 Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company 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.
43

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.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of 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 the 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 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.
NOTE 16 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurements to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiaries are not deemed to be a dividend (see Note 3(l)). According to ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, there is no impact on earnings per share in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share to common shareholders for changes in the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity, when such changes in carrying value which in substance approximates fair value.
Securities that could potentially dilute basic net income per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share were 1,985,442 and 1,757,081 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1,992,357 and 1,553,571 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

(a) Legal Matters
The Company is subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries are named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. In view of the number and diversity of claims against the Company, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending, and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, the Company cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of pending litigation or other claims will be. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Company does not believe that the results of these claims are likely to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Riley entered into the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guarantee, each as defined below, in connection with the Acquisition. FRG has scheduled a special meeting of stockholders for August 17, 2023 to vote on the transaction and related matters. The proposed transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2023, subject to FRG's stockholder's approval and satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions contained in the definitive documentation.
Equity Commitment Letter
The Company entered into an Equity Commitment Letter, dated as of May 10, 2023 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), with Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC (“TopCo”) and Parent, pursuant to which the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, has agreed to contribute to TopCo, at or prior to the closing of the Merger, an amount equal to up to $560,000 in equity financing (the “B. Riley Equity Commitment”). The B. Riley Equity Commitment will then be used by TopCo to fund part of the Acquisition.

(d) Other Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to its clients in connection with capital raising transactions, such as firm commitment underwritings, equity lines of credit, or other commitments to provide financing on specified terms and conditions. These commitments require the Company to purchase securities at a specified price or otherwise provide debt or equity financing on specified terms. Securities underwriting exposes the Company to market and credit risk, primarily in the event that, for any reason, securities purchased by the Company cannot be distributed at the anticipated price and to balance sheet risk in the event that debt or equity financing commitments cannot be syndicated.

Overview
Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated certain previously reported financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 in this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including but not limited to information within the Results of Operations and Revenue sections. See the Explanatory Note preceding Part I, Financial Information, for background on the restatement, the fiscal periods impacted, and other information.
Description of the Company
54

B. Riley Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: RILY) (the “Company”) is a diversified financial services platform that delivers tailored solutions to meet the strategic, operational, and capital needs of its clients and partners. We operate through several consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “B. Riley”) that 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 opportunistically invests in and acquires companies or assets with attractive risk-adjusted return profiles to benefit our shareholders. We own and operate several uncorrelated consumer businesses and invest in brands on a principal basis. Our approach is focused on high quality companies and assets in industries in which we have extensive knowledge and can benefit from our experience to make operational improvements and maximize free cash flow. Our principal investments often leverage the financial, restructuring, and operational expertise of our professionals who work collaboratively across disciplines.
We refer to B. Riley as a “platform” because of the unique composition of our business. Our platform has grown considerably and become more diversified over the past several years. We have increased our market share and expanded the depth and breadth of our businesses both organically and through opportunistic acquisitions. Our increasingly diversified platform enables us to invest opportunistically and to deliver strong long-term investment performance throughout a range of economic cycles.
We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California and maintain offices throughout the U.S. including in New York, Chicago, Metro District of Columbia, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Metro Detroit, Houston, Memphis, Miami, San Francisco, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach.
We report our activities in six reportable business segments: Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Financial Consulting, Auction and Liquidation, Communications, and Consumer segment. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we realigned our 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 we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2022. We have also re-aligned our previously reported Principal Investments - Communications and Other segment into the Communications segment and the All Other category that is reported with Corporate and Other.
Recent Developments
Our diversified financial platform is affected by a variety of factors including the continuing high inflation, the actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation, the possibility of recession or an economic downturn, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and rising energy prices. These factors create uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and may impact our business in future periods. These developments and the impact on the financial markets and the overall economy continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy continue to be impacted, our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
Results of Operations
The following period to period comparisons of our financial results and our interim results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Total revenues increased $266.7 million to $406.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $139.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in revenue from trading (loss) income and fair value adjustments on loans of $160.1 million, sale of goods of $56.5 million, services and fees of $38.7 million, and an increase in interest income from loans and securities lending of $11.4 million. The increase in revenue from services and fees in the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of increases in revenue of $43.3 million in the Communications segment, $9.1 million in All Other, $6.9 million in the Financial Consulting segment, and $6.4 million in the Auction and Liquidation segment, partially offset by decreases in revenues of $13.6 million in the Wealth Management segment, $13.2 million in the Capital Markets segment, and $0.1 million in the Consumer segment.
Revenues from services and fees in the Capital Markets segment decreased $13.2 million to $45.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $58.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in

The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a decrease in revenue of $8.8 million from wealth and asset management fees and $4.5 million in other income.
Revenues from services and fees in the Auction and Liquidation segment increased $6.4 million to $8.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in the size of retail fee liquidation engagements.
Revenues from services and fees in the Financial Consulting segment increased $6.9 million to $31.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $24.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Revenues from services and fees in the Communications segment increased $43.3 million to $83.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $40.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase of $46.5 million in subscription services from the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interests in Lingo Management, LLC (“Lingo”) in the first quarter of 2023 and BullsEye Telecom (“BullsEye”) acquired in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by decreases in subscription revenue of $2.1 million for United Online, Inc.

We expect UOL, magicJack and Marconi subscription revenue to continue to decline year over year.

This increase was primarily due to increases of $161.2 million in the Capital Markets segment partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in the Wealth Management segment. The income of $42.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to realized and unrealized gains on investments made in our proprietary trading accounts of $33.2 million and an unrealized gain on our loans receivable, at fair value of $9.2 million.

The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase of $104.2 million in subscription services from the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interests in Lingo in the first quarter of 2023 and the acquisition of BullsEye in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by decreases in subscription revenue of $4.6 million and $1.3 million in other revenue for UOL, magicJack and Marconi.

This increase was primarily due to increases of $231.3 million in the Capital Markets segment, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in the Wealth Management segment. The income of $93.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an unrealized gain on our loans receivable, at fair value of $52.7 million and realized and unrealized gain on investments made in our proprietary trading accounts of $41.4 million.

Recent Accounting Standards
See Note 3(p) to the accompanying financial statements for recent accounting standards we have recently adopted.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We periodically use derivative instruments, which primarily consist of the purchase of forward exchange contracts, for certain loans receivable and Auction and Liquidation engagements with operations outside the United States. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no forward exchange contracts outstanding.
The forward exchange contracts were entered into to improve the predictability of cash flows related to a retail store liquidation engagement and a loan receivable. The net gain from forward exchange contracts was zero during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and zero and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This amount is reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We transact business in various foreign currencies. In countries where the functional currency of the underlying operations has been determined to be the local country’s currency, revenues and expenses of operations outside the United States are translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates while assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States are translated into United States dollars using period-end exchange rates. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Transaction gains (losses) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We utilize borrowings under our senior notes payable and credit facilities to fund costs and expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions and operations. Borrowings under our senior notes payable are at fixed interest rates and borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate of interest. In our portfolio of securities owned, we invest in loans receivable that primarily bear interest at a floating rate of interest. If floating rates of interest had increased by 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the rate increase would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of $3.7 million.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income that we receive from investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, our investments allow us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents, short-term investments through a variety of securities owned that primarily includes common stocks, loans receivable, and investments in partnership interests. Our cash and cash equivalents through June 30, 2023 included amounts in bank checking and liquid money market accounts. We may be exposed to interest rate risk through trading activities in convertible and fixed income securities as well as U.S. Treasury securities, however, based on our daily monitoring of this risk, we believe we currently have limited exposure to interest rate risk in these activities.
Foreign Currency Risk
The majority of our operating activities are conducted in U.S. dollars. Revenues generated from our foreign subsidiaries totaled $86.9 million and $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively or 10.4% and 2.3% of our total revenues of $838.4 million and $386.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Foreign revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2023 are primarily due to sale of goods in our Consumer segment. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, with the exception of revenues, costs, and expenses, which are translated at average rates during the reporting period. We include gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in income, while we exclude those resulting from translation of financial statements from income and include them as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains (losses), which were included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, amounted to a loss of $0.6 million and gain of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We may be exposed to foreign currency risk; however, our operating results during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, included $86.9 million and $5.2 million of revenues, respectively, and $17.2 million and $3.1 million of operating expenses from our foreign subsidiaries, respectively, and a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would result in an approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million change in our operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation
The Company’s material weaknesses relating to the operating effectiveness of management's review controls over key assumptions that are utilized to determine the fair value of intangible assets for new acquisitions and the fair value of reporting units and management’s review controls over the income tax provision described above did not result in a material adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s material weakness for presentation and classification of dividend income and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain equity securities resulted in the correction to reclassify certain revenue amounts to other income in the consolidated statement of operations and did not result in changes to the balance sheet, statement of equity, statement of cash flows, net income (loss) or earnings per share as previously reported.
Management continues to implement measures designed to ensure that the control deficiency contributing to the material weakness is remediated, such that the controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include the enhancement of control activity evidence, improvement of the precision level of management review controls, and reclassification of dividend income and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain equity securities.
While we believe that these actions will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness, it will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2023.
Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well- designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries are named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. In view of the number and diversity of claims against the Company, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending, and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, the Company cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of pending litigation or other claims will be. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Company does not believe that the results of these claims are likely to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. A detailed discussion of our risk factors was included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2023. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
