Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BRC Group Holdings, 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 2(e) - Variable Interest Entities. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to interim financial reporting guidelines and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from our audited annual consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated 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 statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The disclosures presented in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing operations basis. These unaudited 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods. The Company has provided a discussion of significant accounting policies, estimates, and judgments in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025 which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 credit losses, the fair value of loans receivables, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based arrangements, embedded derivatives, warrant and warrant liabilities, accounting for income tax valuation allowances, 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 significantly differ. (c) Concentration of Risk Revenues in the Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Lingo, magicJack, Marconi Wireless, and UOL segments are primarily generated in the United States. Revenues in the Consumer Products segment are primarily generated in the United States, Canada, and Europe. A significant portion of Lingo’s revenues consists of reselling legacy Plain Old Telephone (“POT”) services copper lines from four major nationwide Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (“ILECs”) to its customers. As ILECs have been decommissioning POT lines and halting new POT services, there is a concentration of risk related to Lingo’s ability to attract new POT service customers which adversely affects Lingo’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To mitigate this, Lingo has made concerted efforts to transition POT services customers to alternative solutions offered by Lingo. 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 and mitigates this risk by utilizing financial institutions of high credit quality. At March 31, 2026, the Company also has a concentration in loans receivable at fair value that includes two loans in the amount of $21,825 or 87.6% of total loans receivable to one company (see Note 9 - Loans Receivable, at Fair Value) and securities and other investments owned that includes one investment in the amount of $403,189 or 63.0% of total securities and other investments owned (see Note 6 - Securities And Other Investments Owned And Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased). (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, restricted cash primarily consisted of cash held in escrow and cash collateral for leases and loans, which included amounts subject to Deposit Account Control Agreements with lenders in which the Company assigned the rights to the collateral accounts to the lenders. (e) Variable Interest Entities The Company holds interests in various entities that meet the characteristics of a VIE. 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 party with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is known as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (a) which variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (b) which variable interest holder has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; (c) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (d) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and (e) related-party relationships with other parties that may also have a variable interest in the VIE. See Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities and 16 - Noncontrolling Interests for a variable interest entity consolidated during the period. (f) 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 in Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements. 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 in the accompanying unaudited 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 Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments for which the measurement alternative has been elected, adjusted to fair value based on observable price changes or impairment, 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 has elected to measure certain loans and equity investments at fair value to provide management with a more relevant representation for evaluating risk, performance reporting, market conditions, and economic events in earnings on a more timely basis and to provide reporting of the current value of those assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. (g) Securities and Other Investments Owned and Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased Securities and other investments owned consist of equity securities including common and preferred stocks, warrants, and options, corporate bonds, and other fixed income securities including government and agency bonds, loans receivable valued at fair value, and investments in partnerships that are accounted for at fair value (see Note 2(f) - Fair Value Measurements). Equity securities also include investments in public and private companies 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. Refer to Note 2(k) - Equity Method Investments for more information regarding equity method investments. Dividend income received from equity investments accounted for under the fair value option are recorded to other income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Securities sold, but not yet purchased are securities the Company has sold that it does not own (i.e., securities sold short) and, therefore, the Company is obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The Company has recorded this obligation on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at the fair value of the securities borrowed. There is an element of off-balance sheet risk in that, if the securities sold short increase in value, it will be necessary to purchase the securities sold short at a cost in excess of the obligation reflected on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of securities sold short are recognized in the results of operations in the period in which they occur. Securities and other investments owned also includes equity investments in nonpublic entities that do not have a readily determinable fair value. For these investments the Company has elected to apply the 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, the Company evaluates whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments the Company holds. Refer to Note 6 - Securities And Other Investments Owned And Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased. (h) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Lingo, magicJack, Marconi Wireless, UOL and Consumer Products customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes the expected loss model, which includes the pooling of receivables using the aging method, historical losses, current market conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts of expected losses. 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 credit losses are included in Note 8 - Accounts Receivable. (i) 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 as secured borrowings. The Company does not net securities borrowed and securities loaned and these items are presented on a gross basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 - Securities Lending. (j) Loans Receivable The Company elected the fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable. Management evaluates the performance of the loan portfolio on a fair value basis. Under the fair value option, loans receivable are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit value in an orderly transaction, and unrealized gains or losses are included in the “Fair value adjustments on loans” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. At the time of origination, the Company’s loans receivable are collateralized by the assets of borrowers and other pledged collateral and may have guarantees to provide for protection of the payments due on loans receivable. Interest income on loans receivable is recognized based on the stated interest rate of the loan on the unpaid principal balance and is included in the “Interest income - loans” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. (k) Equity Method Investments Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method if the Company is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an 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. Equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting are included in the “Equity investments” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investees are included in the “Income from equity investments” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The investments are evaluated for impairment annually and when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If a decline in fair value below the carrying value is determined to be not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded in “Change in fair value of financial instruments and other” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. (l) Inventories Inventories are substantially all finished goods from the Consumer Products, magicJack, Marconi Wireless and UOL segments and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out 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 accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 11 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. (m) Rental Merchandise Rental merchandise is only related to bebe from the Corporate and All Other category and is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. When initially purchased, merchandise is not depreciated until it is leased to its rent-to-own customers. Leased merchandise is depreciated over the lease term of the rental agreement and recorded as cost of sales. Rental merchandise that is returned is depreciated from the net book value on the day of the return on a straight-line basis for 24 months until the item is leased again or reaches a zero-dollar salvage value. Damaged or lost merchandise is written off monthly. Rental merchandise is included in prepaid and other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 11 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. (n) Noncontrolling Interests Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The Company’s non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest of consolidated subsidiaries that it does not own. The initial fair value of the noncontrolling interest is determined by a weighing of the discounted cash flow method and market approach. The discounted cash flow method utilized five-year discrete projections of the operating results, working capital and depreciation and capital expenditures, along with a residual value subsequent to the discrete period. The five-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The discount rates for the calculations represented the estimated required return on equity for market participants at the time of the analysis. The market approach included significant estimates using guideline public company data to identify an appropriate market multiple of earnings before income taxes in estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. Refer to Note 16 - Noncontrolling Interests. (o) Recent Accounting Standards Not yet adopted In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software. This ASU was issued to modernize the accounting for software costs by removing references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and providing an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional expense disclosures by public entities in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU outlines the specific costs that are required to be disclosed which include such costs as: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling costs, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to oil and gas production. It also requires qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense income statement captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively in the notes to the financial statements and the entity’s definition of selling expenses. The disclosures are required for each interim and annual reporting period. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Claiming the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31st. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations. Recently adopted In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient that simplifies the estimation of credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers by assuming that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of these assets when estimating expected credit losses. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2026, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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 2(e) - Variable Interest Entities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to interim financial reporting guidelines and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from our audited annual consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated 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 statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The disclosures presented in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing operations basis. These unaudited 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The Company has provided a discussion of significant accounting policies, estimates, and judgments in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025 which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The preparation of the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 credit losses, the fair value of loans receivables, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based arrangements, embedded derivatives, warrant and warrant liabilities, accounting for income tax valuation allowances, 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 significantly differ.

A significant portion of Lingo’s revenues consists of reselling legacy Plain Old Telephone (“POT”) services copper lines from four major nationwide Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (“ILECs”) to its customers. As ILECs have been decommissioning POT lines and halting new POT services, there is a concentration of risk related to Lingo’s ability to attract new POT service customers which adversely affects Lingo’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To mitigate this, Lingo has made concerted efforts to transition POT services customers to alternative solutions offered by Lingo.

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 and mitigates this risk by utilizing financial institutions of high credit quality.

The party with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is known as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (a) which variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (b) which variable interest holder has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; (c) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (d) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and (e) related-party relationships with other parties that may also have a variable interest in the VIE. See Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities and 16 - Noncontrolling Interests for a variable interest entity consolidated during the period.

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 in Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements.

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 in the accompanying unaudited 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 Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments for which the measurement alternative has been elected, adjusted to fair value based on observable price changes or impairment, 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 has elected to measure certain loans and equity investments at fair value to provide management with a more relevant representation for evaluating risk, performance reporting, market conditions, and economic events in earnings on a more timely basis and to provide reporting of the current value of those assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Securities and other investments owned consist of equity securities including common and preferred stocks, warrants, and options, corporate bonds, and other fixed income securities including government and agency bonds, loans receivable valued at fair value, and investments in partnerships that are accounted for at fair value (see Note 2(f) - Fair Value Measurements). Equity securities also include investments in public and private companies 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. Refer to Note 2(k) - Equity Method Investments for more information regarding equity method investments. Dividend income received from equity investments accounted for under the fair value option are recorded to other income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Securities sold, but not yet purchased are securities the Company has sold that it does not own (i.e., securities sold short) and, therefore, the Company is obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The Company has recorded this obligation on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at the fair value of the securities borrowed. There is an element of off-balance sheet risk in that, if the securities sold short increase in value, it will be necessary to purchase the securities sold short at a cost in excess of the obligation reflected on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of securities sold short are recognized in the results of operations in the period in which they occur.

Securities and other investments owned also includes equity investments in nonpublic entities that do not have a readily determinable fair value. For these investments the Company has elected to apply the 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, the Company evaluates whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments the Company holds. Refer to Note 6 - Securities And Other Investments Owned And Securities Sold Not Yet Purchased.

Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s Capital Markets, Wealth Management, Lingo, magicJack, Marconi Wireless, UOL and Consumer Products customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes the expected loss model, which includes the pooling of receivables using the aging method, historical losses, current market conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts of expected losses. 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 credit losses are included in Note 8 - Accounts Receivable.

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 elected the fair value option for all outstanding loans receivable. Management evaluates the performance of the loan portfolio on a fair value basis. Under the fair value option, loans receivable are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit value in an orderly transaction, and unrealized gains or losses are included in the “Fair value adjustments on loans” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. At the time of origination, the Company’s loans receivable are collateralized by the assets of borrowers and other pledged collateral and may have guarantees to provide for protection of the payments due on loans receivable.

The initial fair value of the noncontrolling interest is determined by a weighing of the discounted cash flow method and market approach. The discounted cash flow method utilized five-year discrete projections of the operating results, working capital and depreciation and capital expenditures, along with a residual value subsequent to the discrete period. The five-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies. The discount rates for the calculations represented the estimated required return on equity for market participants at the time of the analysis. The market approach included significant estimates using guideline public company data to identify an appropriate market multiple of earnings before income taxes in estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. Refer to Note 16 - Noncontrolling Interests.
