(1) Investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities classified as trading securities and marketable equity securities, of which $2,393,260 is held by our insurance entities at December 31, 2024. Marketable equity securities excludes Sky Harbour Group Corporation (“Sky Harbour”) Class A common stock as we account for our 16.4% stake (as measured at December 31, 2024) under the equity method.
(2) Noncontrolling interests are primarily related to third party capital raised within our build for rent fund as well as within our 24^th Street commercial real estate funds.

During 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.

During fiscal 2024, “Net Other Income (Expense)” included $29.1 million in other investment income mainly driven by a $17.0 million unrealized gain on the Sky Harbour warrants held by Boston Omaha, other investment income of $7.8 million primarily related to the sale of real estate properties and changes in the fair value of remaining assets within the 24th Street Funds and BFR Fund, $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, $1.1 million in realized gains on the sale of 285,442 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, and interest and dividend income of $1.4 million. These items were partially offset by a loss of $17.3 million from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to non-cash losses from our equity method position in Sky Harbour and interest expense of $1.6 million mainly incurred under Link's term loan and revolver.

Our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants was valued at $94.5 million on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 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 $170.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

Cash inflow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $21.2 million, compared to a cash inflow of $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
