Boston Omaha Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boston Omaha Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of EisnerAmper LLP, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We did not audit the financial statements of Sky Harbour Group Corporation (a 16.4 percent owned investee company). The Company’s investment in Sky Harbour Group Corporation was $72.0 million and $94.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and its equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliates of Sky Harbour Group Corporation was ($17.2) million and ($10.7) million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively. The financial statements of Sky Harbour Group Corporation were audited by EisnerAmper LLP, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Sky Harbour Group Corporation, is based solely on the report of EisnerAmper LLP.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide and the report of EisnerAmper LLP provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of the fair value of the real estate assets in the 24th Street Funds
As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, in May 2023, the Company began consolidating 24 th Street Asset Management LLC (24 th Street) and the 24 th Street Funds. Each of the 24 th Street Funds hold investments in special purpose entities whose primary assets are real estate property (collectively, the Subject Properties or individually, the Subject Property). The Company reports fund investments at their estimated fair value with gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value reflected within other investment income. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of fund investments, a portion of which relates to the real estate assets within the 24th Street Funds, was approximately $34.5 million. The income and comparable sales approach was used to value the real estate assets.
We identified the evaluation of the fair value of the real estate assets in the 24th Street Funds as of December 31, 2024 as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain key assumptions used by management to estimate the fair value of the Subject Properties, as they are sensitive to variation such that changes in the key assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the Subject Properties. Key assumptions included expected market rents and capitalization rates used in the income approach and comparable observable sales used in the comparable sales approach. Additionally, the audit effort associated with the estimate required specialized skills and knowledge.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
| o | Assessing the appropriateness of management’s methodologies used to determine the fair value, for all Subject Properties |
| o | Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s future expected market rents by comparing the market rent assumptions to external sources including signed and active leases of similar properties, and to objective contractual information of leases recently signed at the respective Subject Property, for a selection of Subject Properties |
| o | Assessing the reasonableness of the capitalization rates by comparing the selected capitalization rates to reliable market resources, for a selection of Subject Properties |
| o | Assessing the reasonableness of management’s fair value by developing ranges of fair value using transactions and listings of comparable properties from external databases, and comparing to management’s fair values for a selection of Subject Properties. |
