Previous wording

We have incurred losses from operations in each year since 2015, when Magnolia and Boulderado purchased majority ownership in the company, sold the prior business and commenced new business activities. Our net loss from operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $8.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively. We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of securities. In addition, as we acquire other businesses, we incur ongoing depreciation and amortization charges, which are typically spread over a number of years, as well as the costs of completing such acquisitions, which are expensed as incurred. For these reasons, we may continue to incur significant losses. These losses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital and we cannot assure you that we will be able to be successful in implementing our business strategy.

Previous wording

In order to achieve the growth we seek, we may acquire numerous smaller market participants, which could require significant attention from management and increase risks, costs and uncertainties associated with integration. The businesses and other assets we acquire in the future may not achieve sufficient revenue or profitability to justify our investment, and any difficulties we may encounter in the integration process could interfere with our operations and reduce operating margins. We may need to make substantial capital and operating expenditures which may negatively impact our results in the near term, and the acquisitions may never meet our expectations.

We may need to make substantial capital and operating expenditures which may negatively impact our results in the near term, and the acquisitions may never meet our expectations. We continuously evaluate each of our business units and subsets of these business units and may elect to sell all or a portion of a business segment as determined by our board of directors. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, the sale of the disposed unit may disrupt operations, cause key talent loss, or create difficulties in separating shared services, impacting the remaining business's financial performance. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, we may may fail to secure a buyer, fail to consummate the transaction, or face prolonged closing timelines due to delays in obtaining any required approvals by government agencies or our lenders. Divestitures can also result in reduced cash flow, unexpected tax consequences, or the need to write down goodwill associated with the disposed business unit.

If we sell shares or other equity securities in one or more other transactions, or issue stock, stock options or other securities pursuant to our current 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2022 Incentive Plan"), investors may be materially diluted by such subsequent issuances. We may need significant additional capital in the future to continue our planned acquisitions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such funds upon favorable terms and conditions, if at all. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell Class A common stock, convertible securities or other equity or convertible securities in one or more transactions that may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, antidilution, and conversion and redemption rights, subject to applicable law, and at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. Such issuances and the exercise of any convertible securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our stockholders and may affect the value of our capital stock and could adversely affect the rights of the holders of such stock, thereby reducing the value of such stock. Moreover, any exercise of convertible securities may adversely affect the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital, since the holders of such convertible securities can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, not be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided in such convertible securities.

Our 2022 Incentive Plan allows us to issue up to a total of 1,575,000 shares of Class A common stock (as defined under the Plan). In addition, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards will automatically increase, on February 1st of each calendar year, for a period ending on (and including) February 1, 2032 (each, an “Evergreen Date”) in an amount such that both the total number of shares of stock available and previously issued under the 2022 Incentive Plan shall equal five percent (5%) or such lesser amount outstanding as may be determined by our Board of Directors on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date. The number of shares of stock will also be adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in our capital structure, plus any shares that are subject to awards that expire or are terminated or cancelled without the delivery of shares. To date, we have issued 142,134 shares of our Class A common stock under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

Generally accepted accounting principles require us to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public equity securities in our reported earnings. Due to the size of our percentage ownership interest in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock and our right to elect one of the seven members of Sky Harbour's Board of Directors, our investment is recorded under the equity method and we do not include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's stock price in our reported earnings. In the future, if we are deemed to no longer have significant influence, we may no longer be able to record our investment under the equity method and will be required to include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's stock price in our reported earnings. Such mark to market accounting could result in significant volatility in our earnings based on changes in Sky Harbour's public stock price. Also, while we intend to hold our Sky Harbour Class A common stock for the long term, we have sold a small percentage of our Sky Harbour Class A common stock in 2024 and 2025 and may elect to sell all or a portion of our holdings for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.

Current wording

If Sky Harbour's stock price drops below our carrying value of $6.36 per share for a sustained period of time, it will likely result in an impairment of our investment. As of December 31, 2025, the closing price of Sky Harbour Class A common stock was $8.97 per share and we held 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 7,719,779 shares of Class A common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. There may also be a future impairment of our investment if our expectations about Sky Harbour's prospective results of operations and cash flows decline, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including adverse market conditions. As a result, we could incur a material impairment charge at any time in the future if we deem our investment to be impaired.

In 2020, we acted as the sponsor for the initial public offering of Yellowstone, a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC"). As sponsor, we purchased approximately 3,300,000 shares of Yellowstone Class B common stock at a cost of $25,000 and private placement warrants at a cost of approximately $7.8 million. Between August 1, 2021 and January, 2022, we invested an additional $100 million in purchasing additional securities of Sky Harbour. The first financing in August 2021, in which we acquired 5,500,000 units of Sky Harbour LLC Class B Preferred Units allowed Sky Harbour LLC to consummate a private activity bond financing raising $160 million in proceeds in September 2021. Also, upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination in January 2022, we purchased an additional 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. Upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, our Class B Preferred Units and Class B common stock converted to Class A common stock of Sky Harbour and our private placement warrants are now exercisable to purchase 7,719,779 shares of Class A common stock of Sky Harbour. Each Sky Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with each Sky Warrant being exercisable and non-redeemable. Subsequent to the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, we distributed 75,000 shares of Sky Class A common stock to the outside directors of Yellowstone and 206,250 shares of Sky Class A common stock to an investor in the Yellowstone IPO. To date, we have invested a total of $107.8 million in Sky Harbour. All the shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Sky Harbour Warrants to purchase Class A common stock that we hold have been registered under the Securities Act. In 2024 and early 2025, we have sold in the open market or otherwise transferred a total of 907,577 shares of Sky Harbour Class A stock. Due to the current trading volume of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, we anticipate that it would be difficult to sell any significant amount of our Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Warrants at the present time and for the foreseeable future. As of March 27, 2025, we and our UCS subsidiary collectively owned 12,210,897 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,799 warrants to purchase Sky Harbour Class A common stock.

Our investments in Sky Harbour Group Corporation's Class A common stock and Sky Warrants and other publicly traded securities involve a substantial degree of risk.

Current wording

Our investments in Sky Harbour Group Corporation's Class A common stock and Sky Warrants and other publicly traded and privately-held securities involve a substantial degree of risk.

Previous wording

In addition to our investments in privately-held companies and our investment in the Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Sky Warrants, we may purchase publicly traded common stock and other equity securities, including warrants and corporate bonds. Although equity securities have historically generated higher average total returns than fixed-income securities over the long term, equity securities have also generally experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. The publicly traded securities we acquire may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including the risk of further dilution as a result of additional issuances, inability to access additional capital and failure to pay current distributions. Investments in preferred securities and corporate bonds involve special risks, such as the risk of deferred distributions, credit risk, illiquidity, changes in value based upon interest rates changes and other macroeconomic factors, and limited voting rights. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we may be required to reflect the value of our securities in publicly-traded companies at their current market value as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As a result, this mark-to-market accounting can change values for these types of securities on our balance sheet as market conditions change. Mark-to-market accounting can become volatile if market prices fluctuate greatly and changes in the fair value of investments could significantly impact our reported results.

A continued deterioration in general economic conditions may harm our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. General global and domestic economic conditions directly affect the levels of demand and production of consumer goods, levels of employment, the availability and cost of credit, and ultimately, the demand for our billboard, surety insurance, and broadband products and services and the profitability of our business. The U.S. economy has experienced persistent inflation, and we have experienced, and continue to experience, cost inflation across our business lines. Inflation has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher costs, which we may not be able to recover through higher prices charged to our customers or otherwise. Interest rates have increased, which may result in lower consumer demand and higher borrowing costs, and may cause general economic conditions to deteriorate and could impact our cost of borrowing. Also, reduced government spending could impact our operating businesses and result in the loss of programs which may benefit our businesses, such as programs to encourage development of broadband services in underserved areas. Decreases in the value of equity securities our UCS subsidiary owns could require us to provide additional capital to UCS to maintain its level of business under regulatory requirements. Increases in tariffs could adversely impact the costs of materials and our ability to obtain such materials. If global economic conditions continue to deteriorate, economies could experience a recession, which may result in higher unemployment rates, lower disposable income, lower consumer spending, and lower Company earnings and investment. These factors may result in continued lower demand for our products and services and negatively affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Adam K. Peterson, is a managing member of separate investment management entities that collectively own 18.1% of our Class A common stock and all of our Class B common stock. While we have deemed that the outside business endeavors of our management team do not currently constitute a conflict of interest, it is possible that a conflict of interest could arise between the performance of our executive management team and their roles as managing members of entities which together own a majority of our outstanding capital stock. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor. Such conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Further, the appearance of conflicts of interest created by related party transactions could impair the confidence of our investors. We have the authority to engage various contracting parties, which may be affiliates of ours or of our directors. As such, our directors may have a conflict of interest between their fiduciary duties to manage the business for our benefit and that of our stockholders and their direct and indirect affiliates’ interests in establishing and maintaining relationships with us and in obtaining compensation for services rendered to us. With respect to such affiliates, there may be an absence of arms’ length negotiations with respect to the terms, conditions and consideration with respect to goods and services provided to or by us.

We use reinsurance to help manage our exposure to insurance risks. Reinsurance is a practice whereby one insurer, called the reinsurer, agrees to indemnify another insurer, called the ceding insurer, for all or part of the potential liability arising from one or more insurance policies issued by the ceding insurer. The availability and cost of reinsurance is subject to prevailing market conditions, both in terms of price and available capacity, which can affect our business volume and profitability. In addition, reinsurance programs are generally subject to renewal on an annual basis. We may not be able to obtain reinsurance in acceptable amounts and/or on acceptable terms from entities with satisfactory creditworthiness. If we are unable to obtain new reinsurance facilities or renew expiring facilities, our net exposures would increase and we may not be able to maintain certain customer accounts. In such event, if we are unwilling to bear an increase in our net exposure, we would have to reduce the level of our underwriting commitments, which would reduce our revenues.

We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and Section 404(b) requires our independent registered accounting firm to attest to and report on our management’s assessment of our internal controls. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational and accounting resources. In order to comply with these requirements, we may need to (i) upgrade our systems, (ii) implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, (iii) implement an internal audit function, and (iv) hire additional accounting, internal audit and finance staff. If we are unable to accomplish these objectives in a timely and effective manner, our ability to comply with our financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting companies could be impaired. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a negative impact on our ability to manage our business and on our stock price.

We are currently a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. “Smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports and in certain registration statements filed with the SEC and no requirement, as long as our revenues are below $100 million and the value of our Class A common stock held by the public as measured on certain dates, is less than $700 million, to have our independent auditor report on and attest to our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (15 U.S.C. 7262(b)). Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects and certain elements of our compensation program for executive officers and key employees.

Current wording

We were previously a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. We will retain our status as a non-accelerated filer though 2026 under applicable transition rules. Under these transition rules, we are permitted to provide in this Form 10-K the more limited disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies. These more limited reporting requirements allow us in this Form 10-K to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures, provide only two years of audited financial statements and avoid the requirement to have our independent auditor annually report on and attest to our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (15 U.S.C. 7262(b)). Commencing with our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we will become subject to more expansive disclosure requirements. The decreased disclosures in this Form 10-K under the transition rules for smaller reporting companies may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects and certain elements of our compensation program for executive officers and key employees.

If our current stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public market in a short period of time, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease. The perception in the public market that our current stockholders might sell shares of Class A common stock could also create a perceived overhang and depress our market price. As of March 27, 2025, MBOC I holds for the benefit of Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") and a pension fund managed by MIT 5,589,253 shares of our Class A common stock. In addition, the MIT affiliated pension fund separately reported that as of February 14, 2025, it owns an additional 2,444,473 shares of our Class A common stock. Additionally, Mr. Peterson and entities managed by Magnolia own 587,031 shares of our Class A common stock and 580,558 shares of our Class B common stock, which converts on a one for one basis into an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock.

Previous wording

Currently, MCF owns all of our Class B common stock and entities managed by Magnolia own 18.1% of our Class A common stock, resulting in their holding 31.1% of the aggregate voting power of the company. As a result, Mr. Peterson and entities managed by Magnolia together control 32.7% of the aggregate voting power. Moreover, it is possible that entities managed by Magnolia may increase their ownership in us if we sell additional shares of stock to them in connection with any future capital raise we may conduct. Also, each share of Class B common stock is entitled to cast 10 votes for all matters on which our stockholders vote, while each share of Class A common stock is entitled to cast only one vote. For the foreseeable future, entities managed by Magnolia will likely continue to effectively make it more difficult for stockholder proposals not approved by Magnolia to pass; make it more difficult for director nominations not approved by Magnolia to succeed; and, as a result, Magnolia may effectively control our management, policies, and operations. Our other stockholders will not have voting control over our actions, including the determination of other industries and markets that we may enter.

As of December 31, 2024, we had NOLs of approximately $91.1 million. We have assessed the impact of the 2018 private placement, our “at the market” offerings, our 2020 public offering, our 2021 public offering, and other transactions to determine whether an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, has occurred and do not anticipate that such shifts would result in any permanent limitation on our ability to utilize NOLs. Additionally, it is possible that future transactions may cause us to undergo one or more ownership changes. Certain of these NOLs may be also at risk of limitation in the event of a future ownership change.
