1.

Investments consist of U.S. treasury securities classified as trading securities and marketable equity securities, of which $2,385,983 is held by our insurance entities at June 30, 2024. Marketable equity securities excludes Sky Harbour Group Corporation (“Sky Harbour”) Class A common stock as we account for our 18.6% stake (as measured at June 30, 2024) under the equity method.

2.

Noncontrolling interests are related to third party capital raised within our build for rent fund as well as within our 24th Street commercial real estate funds.

 

 

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we incurred $4.1 million in one-time employee costs and professional fees associated with the separation and stock repurchase agreement of our former Co-CEO.

 

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, “Net Other Income” included non-cash gains of $3.0 million from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to our share of Sky Harbour’s income from operations, which we account for under the equity method, and interest and dividend income of $0.3 million. These items were partially offset by $0.5 million in other investment losses mainly driven by a $4.0 million unrealized loss on our Sky Harbour warrants, which was partially offset by (i) $2.0 million in non-cash gains associated with the transfer of Sky Harbour Class A common stock to our former Co-CEO as a part of his separation and stock repurchase agreement, (ii) $0.9 million in realized gains on the sale of 246,389 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, and (iii) other investment income of $0.6 million primarily related to changes in the fair value of the BFR Fund mainly driven by the underlying real estate properties, and interest expense of $0.4 million mainly incurred under Link's term loan and revolver.

 

Our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants was valued at $91.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. If our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price (currently valued using equity method accounting), then our total investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants would be valued at $124.6 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

As a reminder, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require us to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public securities in our reported earnings (3). While we intend to hold securities for the longer term, we may in the future choose to sell them for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.

 

Cash inflow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.9 million, compared to a cash inflow of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Our book value per share was $16.86 at June 30, 2024, compared to $17.19 at December 31, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had 30,931,349 shares of Class A common stock and 527,780 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

 

As of August 12, 2024, we had 30,931,349 shares of Class A common stock and 527,780 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
