CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). Refer to Note 2 in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for the full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The details in those notes have not changed, except as discussed in Note 2 to the Interim Financial Statements and as a result of normal adjustments in the interim periods. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given to those terms in our 2025 Annual Report. We also may use certain other terms that are defined within these Interim Financial Statements.

The Interim Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Abacus Global Management, Inc., (the “Company”) all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as determined in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Interim Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders and stockholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entity and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, the results of our operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The Interim Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, or any other period. All references to financial information in the Interim Financial Statements and in the condensed notes to Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of revenue, life settlement policy valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, and income taxes. The uncertainties in the broader macroeconomic environment have made it more challenging to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New Accounting Standards—The Company’s management reviews recent accounting standards to determine the impact to the Company’s financial statements. There were no new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) in addition to those discussed in our 2025 Annual Report that would have an impact to the Interim Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU 2025-05—”Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 to provide all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. All entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2026. The Company elected the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses for current accounts receivables. The election of the practical expedient provided by this ASU did not have an impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2025-11—”Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.”In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 to clarify interim disclosure requirements. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either using a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations—Two customers accounted for 13% (related party) and 14% (related party) in revenues related to sales of life insurance policies for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Three customers accounted for 13%,12%, and 11% of in revenues related to sales of life policies for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity—The first redemption date for LMA Income Series II, LP (“LMAIS II”), a limited partnership that is a variable interest entity in which the Company has invested was March 31, 2026 at which point the investors of that entity had the option to (i) redeem their investment, (ii) extend their investment for an additional year, or (iii) invest into an Abacus managed fund launched in March 2025. The next redemption date for LMAIS II will be June 30, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the related remaining liabilities are included within long-term debt, at fair value within our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 14, Long-Term Debt for additional information related to LMAIS II.

Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts in these Interim Financial Statements and condensed notes have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and as of the year ended December 31, 2025.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

NIB Acquisition

On April 24, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of National Insurance Brokerage, LLC ("NIB"), a Delaware limited liability company (the “NIB Acquisition”). NIB was owned by Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who held a 25% beneficial interest in NIB, and KMG Group Holdings, LLC ("KMG"), who held a 75% beneficial interest in NIB (the "Sellers"). KMG is equally owned by Matthew Ganovsky, K. Scott Kirby, and Sean McNealy, Co-Founders and Presidents of the Company. The Company paid approximately $2.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired, to acquire 100% of the interest in NIB.

The NIB Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. The values attributed to intangible assets were based on valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).

Goodwill related to the NIB Acquisition was assigned to the Life Solutions reportable segment. It represents the value that we expect to obtain from growth opportunities from our combined operations and is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the valuations related to the acquired assets and liabilities of NIB on June 30, 2025. The following table presents the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the business combination.

Intangible assets were comprised of the following:

AccuQuote Acquisition

On August 14, 2025 (“AccuQuote Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of Life Distributors, LLC (“AccuQuote”), a Delaware limited liability company (“AccuQuote Acquisition”). AccuQuote is an insurance brokerage firm. The Company used its note receivable balance of approximately $9.3 million due from AccuQuote as consideration as result of the AccuQuote’s default on the note (non-cash consideration). The value of the note receivable balance on the AccuQuote Acquisition Date approximated fair value. The Company acquired approximately $0.3 million of cash and paid approximately $0.8 million in acquisition costs.

The Company evaluated whether the transaction should be accounted for as (i) a loan settlement within the scope of ASC 310-20-40-2 or (ii) a business combination within the scope of ASC 805. As part of the Company’s evaluation of AccuQuote, the April 2025 financing was structured to provide the Company with creditor protections and an enforceable mechanism to obtain control upon the occurrence of defined events of default. Because the Company obtained control of AccuQuote by exercising a contractual call right upon an event of default as defined in the note agreement and acquiring 100% ownership, and because AccuQuote met the definition of a business (including inputs and processes capable of producing outputs), the Company concluded the transaction was a business combination under ASC 805. In addition, until the event of default and election to enforce remedies, AccuQuote remained independent and the Company held only creditor rights. Accordingly, the note receivable (including accrued amounts) was treated as consideration transferred in the acquisition rather than accounted for as a standalone loan settlement under ASC 310-20.

The Company assessed the note receivable prior to the acquisition date and concluded that no allowance for credit losses (ACL) was required and that the carrying amount approximated fair value on the acquisition date. In making these conclusions, the Company considered that (1) the note was secured by 100% of AccuQuote’s assets, including its equity interests, and the Company’s contractual remedies provided a recovery mechanism, (2) the default was related to specified financial covenant and financial metric noncompliance rather than an inability to generate cash flows, and (3) the Company did not identify indicators of material operational deterioration through the default date. The Company also considered that the note was originated approximately 4.5 months prior to the acquisition on negotiated terms, and the Company’s expected recovery under the note was supported by the secured structure and available remedies. The financing and related contractual remedies were designed to provide the Company with multiple paths to value realization—repayment under the note or, upon a defined event of default, the ability to obtain control through enforcement—consistent with the transaction’s economic substance. Therefore, the Company concluded that the note’s carrying value was approximately equal to its fair value at the time of acquisition.

The AccuQuote Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. The values attributed to intangible assets were based on valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC 820.

Goodwill related to the AccuQuote Acquisition was assigned to the Life Solutions reportable segment. It represents the value that we expect to obtain from growth opportunities from our combined operations and is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the valuations related to the acquired assets and liabilities of AccuQuote, except for acquired receivables, accrued expenses, and other liabilities. Accordingly, these estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the AccuQuote Acquisition Date, as permitted under GAAP. Any potential adjustments could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below. No adjustments were made to the valuation for the period ended March 31, 2026.

The following table presents the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the business combination.

Intangible assets were comprised of the following:

4. REVENUES

Asset Management Balances—The Company has the following asset management related balances recorded within the following accounts in the consolidated balance sheets:

Contract Balances—We had no contract assets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The balances of contract liabilities arising from originated contracts with customers were as follows:

Revenue recognized during the first quarter of 2026 that was included in our contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2025 was $169,184.

5. LIFE SETTLEMENT POLICIES

As of March 31, 2026, the Company held 659 life settlement policies, of which 656 were accounted for using the fair value method and 3 were accounted for using the investment method (cost, plus premiums paid). Aggregate face value of policies held at fair value was$727,668,136 as of March 31, 2026, with a corresponding fair value of $392,770,863. The aggregate face value of policies accounted for using the investment method was $1,625,000 as of March 31, 2026, with a corresponding carrying valueof $931,353. Differences between the face value and the net death benefit of certain policies is due to return of premium policies offset by loans on policies.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held 804 life settlement policies, of which 801 were accounted for under the fair value method and 3 were accounted for using the investment method (cost, plus premiums paid). The aggregate face value of policies held at fair value was $1,063,747,674 as of December 31, 2025, with a corresponding fair value of $468,857,929. The aggregate face value of policies accounted for using the investment method was $1,625,000 as of December 31, 2025, with a corresponding carrying value of $918,305.

At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any contractual restrictions on its ability to sell policies, including those held as collateral for the issuance of long-term debt. Refer to Note 14, Long-Term Debt for further details.

Life expectancy reflects the probable number of years remaining in the life of a class of persons determined statistically, affected by such factors as heredity, physical condition, nutrition, and occupation.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s expectation of the timing of the realization of revenues related to life settlement policies. Refer to Note 13, Fair Value Measurements for significant changes to the amounts disclosed related to life settlement policies.

The Company is required to pay premiums to keep its portion of life insurance policies in force. The estimated total future premium payments could increase or decrease significantly to the extent that actual mortalities of insureds differ from the estimated life expectancies.

For policies accounted for under the investment method, the Company has not been made aware of information causing a material change to assumptions relating to the timing of realization of life insurance settlement proceeds that would impact the carrying value of policies.

6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT—NET

Property and equipment balances are composed of the following:

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was $110,033 and $66,826, respectively.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill of $252,779,884 was recognized as a result of the business combinations, which represent the excess fair value of consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations for further discussion.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segments were as follows:

Intangible Assets Acquired comprised of the following:

Intangible assets and related accumulated amortization as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:

All intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to amortization when they are available for their intended use. Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $3,824,053 and $4,633,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Estimated future amortization of definite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2026 is as follows:

The Company also had other insignificant intangible assets of $810,012 and $79,059 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

8. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES, AT FAIR VALUE

Convertible Promissory Note—The Company holds investments in convertible promissory notes intwo separate unrelated entities (“Convertible Promissory Notes”) for an initial investment of $1,000,000 each. The first note bore an annual interest rate of 8% and matured on September 30, 2025. The unrelated entity that was due to repay the first convertible promissory note on September 30, 2025, stopped operations in August 2025. The Company does not believe that it will be able to recover its investment in this convertible note and related accrued interest, and has recorded an estimated 100% credit loss as of December 31, 2025, and as of March 31, 2026, which includes the accrued interest. The second note bears an annual interest rate of 5% and matures on October 15, 2028. During 2025, the Company acquired an additional interest in the second note of $2,000,000, for a total principal investment of $3,000,000.

The Company applies the available-for-sale method of accounting for its investments in the Convertible Promissory Notes, which are debt investments. The Convertible Promissory Notes do not qualify for either the held-to-maturity method due to the Convertible Promissory Notes’ conversion rights or the trading securities method because the Company holds the Convertible Promissory Notes as long-term investments. The Convertible Promissory Notes are measured at fair value at each reporting period-end. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, fair value was $3,147,609 and $3,108,750, which includes accrued accumulated non-cash interest income of $393,184 and $354,325, respectively.

There wereno credit losses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The following tables provide a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025:

Interest income recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $38,859 and $37,434, respectively.

9. OTHER INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS

Other Investments—The Company owns convertible preferred and common stock inthree andfour unrelated entities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The value of the combined investment was $20,653,585 and $18,253,585 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company impaired an investment by $3,050,000 in one equity investment. The Company received notification that the entity has begun the process to wind down the business due to a failed business sale. This impairment is recorded within Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a $5,400,000 unrealized gain on one equity investment. The entity had a new capital raise during the period, increasing the underlying value of the investment. This capital raise was considered an orderly transaction in the same equity class as the initial investment, representing the intrinsic value in this investee’s business. The unrealized gain is recorded within Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired $3,000,000 convertible preferred stock and $5,000,000 of common stock in two separate unrelated entity, respectively. The investment of $5,000,000 in common stock was purchased by the Company issuing series A convertible preferred stock. Refer to Note 15, Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for further information.

The Company applies the measurement alternative for its investments in the common stock and convertible preferred stock because these investments are of an equity nature, and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of entities even in the event of conversion of preferred stock. Under the measurement alternative, the Company records the investment based on original cost, less impairments, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the investee. The Company’s share of income or loss of such companies is not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company tests its investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.

Other Assets—The Company’s other assets are composed of the following:

10. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary or VIEs for which it controls through a majority voting interest or other arrangement. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2025 Annual Report, for more information on how the Company evaluates an entity for consolidation in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

The Company evaluated any entity in which it had a variable interest upon formation to determine whether the entity should be consolidated. The Company also evaluated the consolidation conclusion during each reconsideration event, such as changes in the governing documents or additional equity contributions to the entity. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s consolidated VIE, LMA Income Series II LP, had total assets of $123,556,607 and liabilities of $38,458,866. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated VIEs, LMA Income Series II LP, LMX Series LLC (LMATT Series 2024, Inc.), and LMA Income Series, LP, had total assets and liabilities of $204,604,881 and $115,186,408. The Company did not deconsolidate any entities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 14, Long-Term Debt for information related to the classification of assets and liabilities.

Carlisle manages collective portfolios of several Luxembourg alternative investment funds investing in life insurance policies. Carlisle is registered as an authorized alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) by Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”). Carlisle manages three funds andeight sub-funds. The funds and sub-funds managed by Carlisle are collectively referred to as the “Carlisle Funds”. The Company, through LMA, services the life insurance policies held by the Carlisle Funds. The Company concluded that it does not have a controlling financial interest in the Carlisle Funds pursuant to ASC 810-10. Accordingly, the Carlisle Funds are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The management fee arrangement is the only interest in the funds and the fees are customary and commensurate, therefore not providing a variable interest in the funds. As a result, all transactions between the Company and the Carlisle Funds, including life policy purchases and sales, servicing fees, and management fee receivables are classified as related party transactions. Refer to Note 4, Revenues and Note 19, Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

The Company established Abacus Enhanced Income Fixed LP, Abacus Enhanced Income Plus LP, Abacus Premiere Income Fixed LP, and Abacus Premiere Income Plus LP (collectively the “LP Funds”) and respective wholly owned general partner entities for the purpose of managing the LP Funds and servicing the policies invested by the LP Funds. The Company concluded that it does not have a controlling financial interest in the LP Funds pursuant to ASC 810-10. Accordingly, the LP Funds are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. It was determined that the Company’s management has significant influence over the significant activities of the unconsolidated LP Funds through contract but does not have significant economic interest through equity or otherwise. As a result, all transactions between the Company and the LP Funds, including life policy purchases and sales, servicing fees, and management fee receivables are classified as related party transactions. Refer to Note 4, Revenues and Note 19, Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

The Company established 2025 LMA LLC (“Securitized Entity”) for the purpose of providing investors with a pool of life policies through a sale of life policies and to serve as static collateral pool to secure their investment in a promissory note issued by the Securitized Entity. The Company, through its LMA subsidiary, services the static collateral pool. The Company is a Class B member with contributed capital of $8,699,569, representing all of the nonvoting economic interest in the Securitized Entity. The Class A member has all of the voting noneconomic interest in the Securitized Entity. The Class A member has substantive power to remove the Company as the servicer of the Securitized Entity. The Company concluded that it was not the primary beneficiary in the Securitized Entity due to lack of power pursuant to ASC 810. Accordingly, the Securitized Entity is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. It was determined that while the Company’s management does not have the authority to establish policies or make significant decision impacting the Securitization Fund, it is serving as the servicer for the securitized static collateral pool under the direct supervision of an independent manger. As a result, life policy sales and fee revenue earned by LMA from the Securitized Entity is presented as related party servicing revenue in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4, Revenues and Note 19, Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company organizes its business into three reportable segments (1) Asset Management, (2) Life Solutions, and (3) Technology Services, which all generate revenue and incur expenses in different manners.

This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by the Company’s management, specifically its chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions regarding the Company’s business, including resource allocations and performance assessments, as well as the current operating focus in compliance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting(“ASC 280”). The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Asset Management segment generates revenues by providing asset management services primarily to institutional investors alongside private clients investing in uncorrelated, and longevity-based assets, fixed-income replacement strategies and free cash flow based investment solutions. The revenue is determined by the asset management agreements with the individual investment vehicles. It also generates revenues by providing policy servicing activities to customers on a contract basis.

The Life Solutions segment generates revenues by buying, selling, and trading policies, and maintaining policies until receipt of death benefits. It also generates revenue by originating life insurance policy settlements between investors or buyers, and the sellers, who is often the original policy owner. The policies are purchased from owners or other providers through advisors, brokers, or directly through the owner.

The Technology Services segment generates revenues by providing real-time mortality verification, missing participant verification, and other services specific to the life insurance market services to customers on a contract basis.

The Company’s method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis is gross profit. The CODM does not review disaggregated assets by segment due to segment assets not being necessary for resource allocation decisions. The Company’s CODM periodically reviews cost of revenues by segment and treats it as a significant segment expense.

Revenue related to the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

Cost of revenue (including stock-based compensation) related to the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

Gross profit related to the Company’s reportable segments and the reconciliation of the total gross profit to net income is as follows:

Segment gross profit is defined as revenues less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization. Expenses below the gross profit line are not allocated across operating segments, as they relate primarily to the overall management of the consolidated entity.

Revenue by geographic location:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings—Occasionally, the Company may be subject to various proceedings such as lawsuits, disputes, claims, or challenges to life insurance policy acquisitions. The Company assesses these proceedings as they arise and accrues a liability when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually, or taken together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Investment Acquisition—On March 12, 2026, the Company announced a $52.9 million acquisition of a minority position in Manning & Napier, an asset management and wealth advisory firm to further its strategic goals. This transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements—The assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy are presented in the tables below. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and or other relevant assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Life Settlement Policies— The Company accounts for owned life settlement policies using the fair value method or investment method (cost, plus premiums paid). The valuation method is chosen upon contract acquisition and is irrevocable.

The Company purchases policies from individuals or institutions, bundles those policies into tranches and sells to institutions, insurance carriers or funds that are attracting new investors. These initial purchases happen in the secondary market and the tertiary market. The secondary market is different from the principal or most advantageous market for purchasing policies and has less competition due to state-by-state licensing requirements. The Company leverages its broad policy base and extensive network, to offer individual policies that provide enhanced standalone value. This is achieved by precisely matching each policy’s risk profile to the specific needs of fund managers, institutions, insurance carriers, or funds as well as bundling secondary market originated policies with those originated in the tertiary market. This tailored approach attracts new investors by making it easier to identify and acquire policies that align with their investment objectives. This approach enhances realized gains because it increases market liquidity, broadens the investor base, and enables more efficient price discovery, which in turn supports higher policy values. Our historical realized gains on policies sold and matured, are materially consistent regardless of where policies are originated.

For policies carried at fair value, the valuation is based on Level 3 inputs that reflect our assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) with Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of each policy. The Company’s model uses a discount rate based on observed transaction pricing which is assessed against historical realized gains. The valuation process uses significant assumptions, including survival probabilities and mortality assumptions informed by third-party life expectancy reports and a base mortality table (SOA 2015 VBT) adjusted via a mortality rating to match the risk-adjusted life expectancy, and market-calibrated discount rates.

The Monte Carlo simulation is applied to each policy to generate one million mortality scenario simulations which provides a comprehensive distribution of potential outcomes and calculates expected cash flows. In certain circumstances, if there is a verbal commitment to purchase a specific policy as of the balance sheet date, we use that transaction price as the fair value as we believe it is a more precise estimate of exit price than that determined using historical data. Further information about the inputs to the valuation are listed below:

•Risk-Based Discount Rate: Each policy's discount rate is determined based on its proprietary risk score (1-5 scale), with discount rates directly calibrated to observed transaction prices for policies in the same risk score category. Specifically, for each risk score category, the Company calculates the annualized internal rate of return ("IRR") implied by the relationship between modeled future cash flows (based on life expectancies) and the actual sales price observed in a dataset comprising over 1,000 executed policy transactions. These implied IRRs are aggregated on a weighted-average basis by risk score category to establish the discount rates applied in the Company's DCF/Monte Carlo valuation model. The dataset is updated periodically and adjusted for current market conditions based on observed institutional demand and contemporaneous trade activity. This transaction-based approach ensures that discount rates reflect actual transaction pricing rather than theoretical market rates.

•Risk Score: Each policy is assigned a proprietary risk score from 1 to 5, with 5 being higher risk, based on multiple factors including insured age, life expectancy, life expectancy extension ratio, survival probability at breakeven, maturity probability, and risk-adjusted return on capital metrics.

•Life expectancy: Survival curves are generated using the Society of Actuaries 2015 VBT mortality tables adjusted by mortality ratings to achieve risk-adjusted life expectancies. For policies with multiple insureds, joint survival probabilities are calculated using statistical modeling techniques.

Related party considerations: To assess if related party sales are transacted at market terms, each policy is assessed against independent market checks, including indications from unaffiliated third parties, comparisons to third-party executed sales for policies with comparable characteristics (e.g.; Risk Score and Life Expectancy), and verifying that the terms and customary approval processes are consistent with those offered to non-related parties.

The Company performs quarterly lookback analysis to validate current valuations against actual market transactions. The quarterly lookback reviews policies sold and matured during the current quarter and compares sale prices to fair value measures as of the prior quarter. Discount rates are derived from observed transaction pricing and modeled cash flows, historical realized gains are used, if at all, as a reasonableness check rather than an adjustment factor.

Risk Metrics and Portfolio Analysis

Expected Tail Loss (“ETL99”): The Company calculates Expected Tail Loss at the 99th percentile, representing the weighted average of net present values in the worst 1% of simulated scenarios. This metric is used in conjunction with average net present value (“NPV”) to derive Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (“RAROC”) ratios for individual policies and portfolio-level risk assessment.

Portfolio Diversification: When evaluating policies as part of a portfolio, the Company performs correlated analysis across all holdings, recognizing that combining policies with varying risk profiles can mitigate tail risk exposure while maintaining expected returns.

Data Sources: Valuations are fundamentally based on historical realized gains analysis from over one thousand policy transactions, representing actual transaction-based IRRs by risk category. Current market conditions are incorporated through ongoing discussions with investors such as institutional asset managers, credit unions, regional banks, and reinsurers, and proprietary risk modeling developed from the Company's transaction history.

The reduction in the weighted average discount rate from 13% as December 31, 2025 to 10% as of March 31, 2026 reflects observed market trade spreads.

For life settlement policies carried using the investment method, the Company measures these at the cost of the policy plus premiums paid. The policies accounted for using the investment method totaled $931,353 at March 31, 2026 and $918,305 at December 31, 2025, respectively.

Discount Rate Sensitivity—10% was determined to be the weighted average discount rate used to estimate the fair value of policies held by the Company and its investment funds. If the discount rate increased or decreased by one percentage point and the other assumptions used to estimate fair value remained the same, the change in estimated fair value as of March 31, 2026, would be as follows:

Historical Realized Gains Sensitivity—While the weighted average discount rate can fluctuate based on the overall mix of policies included in the company's portfolio at any given time, the discount rates are determined using historical realized gains by risk category, which have a more consistent weighted average. As a result, we have supplementally added an additional sensitivity analysis for realized gains. The fair value of life settlement policies is sensitive to changes in key unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of policies held by the Company and its investment funds. The historical realized gains represents the total actual sales price of policies less their total cost basis divided by their total cost basis. The sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the potential increase or decrease if policies sold for an average of 1% above or below their determined sale price. The fair market value of the Company’s policies would increase when historical realized gains on life insurance policies sold increases. If the historical realized gains increased or decreased by one percentage point and the other assumptions used to estimate fair value remained the same, the change in estimated fair value as of March 31, 2026, would be as follows:

Credit Exposure to Insurance Companies—The following table provides information about the life insurance issuer concentrations that exceed 10% of total face value or 10% of total fair value of the Company’s life insurance policies as of March 31, 2026:

1 Carrier ratings are based on AM Best ratings.

The following table provides a rollforward of the fair value of life insurance policies for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025:

1 Policies purchased represents life insurance policies purchased during the period.

2 Matured/sold policies represents life insurance policies held at the beginning of the period and those purchased during the period that also matured or were sold within the period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of revenue from life insurance policies held using the fair value method for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025:

Long-Term Debt—See Note 14, Long-Term Debt for additional information on the secured borrowing. The Company has elected the fair value option in accounting for the long-term debt. Fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs.

Available-for-Sale Investment—The convertible promissory notes are classified as an available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized. The Company determines fair value of its available-for-sale investments using unobservable inputs by considering the initial investment value, next round financing, and the likelihood of conversion or settlement based on the contractual terms in the agreement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated the fair value of its Convertible Promissory Notes and determined that the fair value approximates the carrying value of $3,147,609 and $3,108,750, respectively. Refer to Note 9, Other Investments and Other Assets for additional information.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Other Investments— These investments are recorded at cost under the ASC 321 measurement alternative and are adjusted for impairment and observable price changes. Impairment is assessed qualitatively. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the carrying value of $20,653,585 and $18,253,585, respectively. Refer to Note 9, Other Investments and Other Assets for additional information.

Financial Instruments Where Carrying Value Approximates Fair Value—The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts receivable, related party, income tax receivables, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities.

14. LONG-TERM DEBT

Outstanding principal balances of Long-term debt comprises of the following:

Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company issued fixed rate senior unsecured notes (“Fixed Unsecured Notes”) between 2023 and 2025. The Fixed Unsecured Notes are based on a fixed interest rate of 9.875% to be paid in quarterly interest payments and mature on November 15, 2028. The Company has the option to redeem the Fixed Unsecured Notes in whole or in part at a price of 100% of the outstanding principal balance on or after February 15, 2027. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, the balance outstanding on the Fixed Unsecured Notes was $135,379,475.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 10, 2024 (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility Closing Date” or “SSCF Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility” or “SSCF”), among the Company, as borrower, and affiliates of Sagard Senior Lending Partners Holdings II LP and Värde Partners, as lenders, and other persons from time to time party thereto (the “SSCF Lenders”), and GLAS USA LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the SSCF Lenders thereunder. The SSCF provided credit extensions for (i) an initial term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 upon the closing of the SSCF and (ii) optional delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 that are available for 180 days after the SSCF Closing Date (“DDTL Facility”), subject to the requirement that on each delayed draw date, the proceeds are used for operations, including the purchase of life settlement policies, to support its overall business strategy, for working capital purposes, and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding previously announced and future acquisitions and repayment and refinancing of its indebtedness. The SSCF and any drawn amounts under the DDTL Facility mature on December 10, 2030, with quarterly amortization payments of (i)1.00% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the initial facility outstanding as of the SSCF Closing Date and DDTL Facility to the extent borrowed and (ii) additional amortization payments based on the Company’s Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, in each case with the remaining outstanding principal amount due on the maturity date.

The interest rate is based an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which was calculated as term SOFR plus a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum with a stepdown to 5.00% if the Company achieves certain metrics related to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Total Leverage Ratios. In addition, undrawn amounts committed under the Delayed Draw Facility bear a commitment fee until such commitments are drawn or cancelled. The loan may be prepaid at any time in amounts of $1.0 million or greater, subject to a premium equal to 1.00% of the amount prepaid if prepaid prior to the 12-month anniversary of funding.

The Company drew the full amount available in the DDTL facility in September 2025.

The SSCF contains customary covenants for financings of this type including financial maintenance and restrictive covenants, such as the aggregate asset value held at the loan parties to the sum of the outstanding principal amounts of the loans. The SSCF restricts the payment of dividends and distributions and the ability of the Company to make certain investments, incur certain indebtedness and liens and sell assets, in each case subject to important exceptions. The SSCF also includes various financial covenants, each measured on a quarterly basis, including (A) a maximum Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the SSCF Credit Agreement), (B) a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the SSCF Credit Agreement), and (C) a minimum Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the SSCF Credit Agreement). In addition, the SSCF Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including failure to pay interest or principal in a timely manner, failure to comply with covenants, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain bankruptcy related events and subject to certain threshold and notices requirements as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2026.

In connection with the SSCF, certain wholly owned and material subsidiaries of the Company issued a guaranty with respect to the obligations of the Company under the SSCF Credit Agreement and related documents (the “SSCF Credit Facility Guaranty”), which excludes the assets of LMA Income Series II, LP. Additionally, the Company and the guarantors party to the SSCF Credit Facility Guaranty entered into a security agreement (the “SSCF Credit Facility Security Agreement”), which secures the SSCF Credit Facility on primarily all assets of the Company and each guarantor on a first lien basis to the exclusion of certain Excluded Assets (as defined in the SSCF Credit Agreement), including the life insurance policies owned by the Company and each Guarantor.

LMA Income Series II, LP and LMA Income Series II, GP LLC Secured Borrowing

On January 31, 2023, LMA Income Series II, GP, LLC, wholly owned and controlled by that LMA Series, LLC (“LMA”), formed a limited partnership, LMA Income Series II, LP (“LMAIS II”), and subsequently issued partnership interests to limited partners in a private placement offering. The initial term of the offering wasthree years ending on March 31, 2026 with the ability to extend fortwo additionalone-year periods ending on June 30, 2027 and on December 31, 2028. The limited partners receive annual dividends equal to the Preferred Return Amounts as follows: Capital commitment of less than $500,000,8.00%; between $500,000 and $1,000,000,8.25%; and over $1,000,000,8.50%. Thereafter,100% of the excess are to be paid to the General Partner.

It was determined that LMA is the primary beneficiary of LMAIS II and thus has fully consolidated the limited partnership in its consolidated financial statements.

The private placement offerings proceeds are used to acquire and actively manage a large and diversified portfolio of financial assets. LMA, through its consolidated subsidiaries, serves as the portfolio manager for the financial asset portfolio, which includes investment sourcing and monitoring. In this role, LMA has the unilateral ability to acquire and dispose of any of the above investments. As the partnership does not represent a business in accordance with ASC 810 and is a consolidated subsidiary that only holds financial assets, this represents a transfer subject to ASC 860-10. As the financial assets are not transferred outside the consolidated group, the proceeds from the offering shall be classified as a liability unless it meets the definition of a participating interest and the derecognition criteria in ASC 860 are met. The transferred interest did not meet the definition of a participating interest as LMA possesses the unilateral ability to direct the sale of the financial assets (ASC 860-10-50-6A(d)). In accordance with ASC 860-30-25-2, as the transfer of the financial assets did not meet the definition of a participating interest, LMA recognizes the proceeds received from the offering as a secured borrowing.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, LMA Income Series II GP LLC, through the LMAIS II, admitted $744,367 and $16,189,871 additional limited partnership interests and redeemed $77,478,203 and $11,751,343 existing limited partnership interests, respectively.

LMA elected to account for the secured borrowing at fair value under the collateralized financing entity guidance within ASC 810-10-30. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the secured borrowing includes long-term debt ($38,156,705) and other liabilities ($302,161), respectively. LMAIS II is secured by its assets, which includes cash ($9,931,726), accounts receivable ($6,589,119), life settlement policies

($106,926,040), and other assets ($89,973) totaling $123,536,858 as of March 31, 2026. The asset coverage ratio is 3.24 x as of March 31, 2026.

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Long-term Incentive Plan

The Company awards restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to executives, employees, and directors as part of the Company’s Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan (“Long-term Incentive Plan” or “LTIP”). This plan provides that equity-based awards, including RSUs, performance stock units (“PSU”), stock options, and unrestricted shares of common stock, may be granted to officers, employees, and directors of the Company. The Company has granted RSUs that provide the right to receive, subject to service based vesting conditions, shares of common stock pursuant to the Long-term Incentive Plan. The expense associated with these awards will be based on the fair value of the stock as of the grant date, where the Company elected to use the straight line recognition over the vesting period, which isthree years. Under the approved Long-term Incentive Plan, generally, each RSU entitles the unit holder toone share of common stock when the restriction expires. After satisfying the above vesting conditions, the participants will be fully entitled to their shares of common stock. Shares that are issued upon vesting are newly issued shares from the Long-term Incentive Plan and are not issued from treasury stock. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur and are made available for subsequent awards.

The following table shows a summary of the unvested restricted stock under the Long-Term Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2026 as well as activity during the year:

After the approved amendment to the Long-Term Incentive Plan,26,783 shares of common stock remained available for issuance.

Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions and the resulting fair value of options on grant date are presented in the following table:

At the time of the award, the Company did not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The expected volatility reflects the Company’s past daily common stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is derived using the term matched U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields. The expected stock option life is based on the average of the average time to vest and the remaining contractual term.

The following table shows the status of, and changes in, common stock options:

21. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents net income attributable to stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reported period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock. For diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected by application of the treasury stock method and convertible securities by application of the if converted method, as applicable.

The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in our calculation of basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders:

The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings or loss and number of shares used in our calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period:
