Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “U.S. Global”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The Company has consistently followed the accounting policies set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, U.S. Global Investors (Bermuda) Limited, U.S. Global Investors (Canada) Limited (“USCAN”), and U.S. Global Indices, LLC. The novel coronavirus 19 (“COVID-19”) pandemic presents ongoing significant economic and societal disruption and market volatility, which have known and yet to be seen impacts to the Company’s business and operating environment driven by significant volatility in the financial markets. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, how many people are likely to be affected by it, or its impact on the overall economy. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments took various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, which caused some businesses to suspend operations, disrupted the global supply chain, and created a reduction in demand for many products. This negatively affected global financial markets. Assets under management (“AUM”) are the primary source of the Company’s revenues. Revenues and net income are significantly affected by investment performance and the total value and composition of AUM. These factors, in turn, are largely determined by overall investment market performance and investor activity. Should the negative effect on global financial markets reoccur and continue for an extended period, there could be an adverse material financial impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position resulting from reduced revenues earned on AUM and returns on corporate investments. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future impact, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic crisis. There are two primary consolidation models in U.S. GAAP, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and voting interest entity models. The Company’s evaluation for consolidation includes whether entities in which it has an interest or from which it receives fees are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis. A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns and consolidates the VIE on the basis of having a controlling financial interest. The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain funds it advises, specifically, certain funds in U.S. Global Investors Funds (“USGIF” or the “Funds”). The Company’s interests in these VIEs consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein and any fees earned but uncollected. See further information about these funds in Notes 2 and 3. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may choose to waive certain fees or assume operating expenses of the funds it advises for competitive, regulatory or contractual reasons (see Note 3 for information regarding fee waivers). The Company has not provided financial support to any of these entities outside the ordinary course of business. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and fees receivable from, the entities. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s total exposure to unconsolidated VIEs, consisting of the carrying value of investment securities and receivables for fees, was $7.0 million at March 31, 2022, and $7.3 million at June 30, 2021. Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the above funds it advises, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of any of the above funds it advises; therefore, the Company does not consolidate any of these funds. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, and 2022, the Company held a variable interest in a fund organized as a limited partnership, but this entity did not qualify as a VIE. Since it was not a VIE, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate it under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company did not have control of the entity and, therefore, does not consolidate it. However, the Company was considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2022, this entity was dissolved. See further information about this investment in Note 2. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Certain quarterly amounts may not add to the year-to-date amount due to rounding. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company may expect for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), particularly in light of COVID-19 and its effects on the U.S. and global economies. The unaudited interim financial information in these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report; interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual statements.

Investments and Other Noncurrent Assets [Text Block] | NOTE 2. INVESTMENTS As of March 31, 2022, the Company held investments carried at fair value on a recurring basis of $25.2 million and a cost basis of $22.4 million. The fair value of these investments is approximately 40.3 percent of the Company’s total assets at March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company held other investments of approximately $4.2 million and held-to-maturity debt investments of $1.0 million. The cost basis of investments is adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount on debt securities held or the recharacterization of distributions from investments in partnerships. Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for measuring financial instruments at fair value are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in active markets. Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of the assets, such as interest rates and yield curves; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets. The Company is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets and it may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in valuing assets. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with the investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected may materially differ from the values received upon actual sale of those investments. The Company has established a Proprietary Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) to administer and oversee the Company’s valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board of Directors, and to perform a periodic review of valuations provided by independent pricing services. For actively traded securities, the Company values investments using the closing price of the securities on the exchange or market on which the securities principally trade. If the security is not traded on the last business day of the quarter, it is generally valued at the mean between the last bid and ask quotation. The fair value of a security that has a restriction is based on the quoted price for an otherwise identical unrestricted instrument that trades in a public market, adjusted for the estimated effect of the restriction. Mutual funds, which include open- and closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds, are valued at net asset value or closing price, as applicable. For common share purchase warrants not traded on an exchange, the estimated fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This sophisticated model utilizes a number of assumptions in arriving at its results, including the estimated life, the risk-free interest rate, and historical volatility of the underlying common stock. The Company may change the assumption of the risk-free interest rate and utilize the yield curve for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings and jurisdiction, or change the expected volatility. The effects of changing any of the assumptions or factors employed by the Black-Scholes model may result in a significantly different valuation. Certain convertible debt securities not traded on an exchange are valued by an independent pricing service using a binomial lattice model based on factors such as yield, quality, maturity, coupon rate, type of issuance, individual trading characteristics of the underlying common shares and other market data. The model utilizes a number of assumptions in arriving at its results. The effects of changing any of the assumptions or factors utilized in the binomial lattice model, including expected volatility, credit adjusted discount rates, and discounts for lack of marketability, may result in a significantly different valuation for the securities. For other securities included in the fair value hierarchy with unobservable inputs, the Committee considers a number of factors in determining a security’s fair value, including the security’s trading volume, market values of similar class issuances, investment personnel’s judgment regarding the market experience of the issuer, financial status of the issuer, the issuer’s management, and back testing, as appropriate. The fair values may differ from what may have been used had a broader market for these securities existed. The Committee reviews inputs and assumptions and reports material items to the Board of Directors. Securities which do not have readily determinable fair values are also periodically reviewed by the Committee. The following tables summarize the major categories of investments with fair values adjusted on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, and other investments with fair values adjusted on a nonrecurring basis, with fair values shown according to the fair value hierarchy.

Other investments include equity securities without readily determinable fair values that were adjusted as a result of the measurement alternative on dates during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. These securities are classified as level 3 due to the infrequency of the observable price changes and/or restrictions on the shares.

Other investments include equity securities without readily determinable fair values that were adjusted as a result of the measurement alternative on dates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. These securities are classified as level 3 due to the infrequency of the observable price changes and/or restrictions on the shares. A significant portion of the securities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the preceding tables is in investments in HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (“HIVE”), which consist of warrants and convertible debentures with a combined value of $17.5 million and classified as Level 3 at March 31, 2022, and a combined value of $25.1 million and classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2021. The following table is a reconciliation of investments recorded at fair value for which unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

The convertible securities are comprised of 8.0% interest-bearing unsecured convertible debentures, payable in quarterly installments with a final maturity in January 2026, and 5 million common share purchase warrants in the capital of HIVE. The principal amount of each debenture is convertible into common shares in the capital of HIVE at a conversion rate of $2.34, and the remaining principal amount was $11.3 million as of March 31, 2022, and $14.3 million as of June 30, 2021. Each whole warrant, expiring in January 2024, entitles the Company to acquire one common share at a price of $3.00 (Canadian). Cryptocurrency markets and related securities have been, and are expected to continue to be, volatile. There has been significant volatility in the market price of HIVE, which has materially impacted the value of the investments included on the balance sheet, unrealized gain recognized in investment income (loss), and unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The investments did not represent ownership in HIVE as of March 31, 2022, or June 30, 2021. The securities are subject to Canadian securities regulations. Frank Holmes serves on the board as executive chairman of HIVE and held shares and options at March 31, 2022. Effective August 31, 2018, Mr. Holmes was named Interim CEO and Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE. Effective December 22, 2020, Mr. Holmes became the Executive Chairman of HIVE. The Company recorded the warrants at the estimated fair value of $5.9 million on purchase date. The debentures were recorded at the estimated fair value of $16.0 million on purchase date, and an unrealized gain of $6.9 million was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which will be realized in investment income (loss) ratably using the effective interest method until maturity, conversion, or other disposition. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, $524,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, was realized in investment income (loss), and $4.0 million remains in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, $552,000 was realized in investment income (loss). The fair value of the warrants and debentures was $4.8 million and $12.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022, and $8.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021. The Company currently considers the fair value measurements of HIVE convertible securities to contain Level 3 inputs. The following is quantitative information as of March 31, 2022, with respect to the securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

(“Thunderbird”), a company headquartered and traded in Canada, which was valued at approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 2021, and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company realized gains on sales of this investment in the amount of $1.9 million. The Company did not have ownership of Thunderbird as of March 31, 2022. Frank Holmes served on the board of this company as a director from June 2014 to March 2021. Equity Investments at Fair Value Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, and changes in unrealized gains or losses are reported in current period earnings. The following details the components of the Company’s equity investments carried at fair value as of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

Debt Investments Investments in debt securities are classified on the acquisition dates and at each balance sheet date. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. Debt securities classified as trading are acquired with the intent to sell in the near term and are carried at fair value with changes reported in earnings. All other debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Investment gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded when the securities are sold, as determined on a specific identification basis, and recognized in current period earnings. Changes in unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities are reported net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, a loss in earnings is recognized for the excess of amortized cost over fair value if the Company intends to sell before the price recovers. Otherwise, the Company evaluates as of the balance sheet date whether the unrealized losses are attributable to credit losses or other factors. The severity of the decline in value, creditworthiness of the issuer and other relevant factors are considered. The portion of unrealized loss the Company believes is related to a credit loss is recognized earnings, and the portion of unrealized loss the Company believes is not related to a credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. The following details the components of the Company’s available-for-sale debt investments as of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

Held-to-maturity debt investments are carried at amortized cost, and the fair value is classified as Level 2 according to the fair value hierarchy. The following summarizes the net carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2022, by contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from final contractual maturities due to principal repayment installments or prepayment rights held by issuers.

Principal payments are due quarterly with a final maturity date in January 2026. Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments, such as the conversion option in a convertible bond, are reported at fair value, and changes in fair value are recorded through earnings within investment income (loss). The host contract continues to be accounted for in accordance with the appropriate accounting standard. The embedded derivative and the related host contract represent one legal contract and are combined on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the preceding tables. The Company held one financial instrument containing an embedded derivative, which represents an investment in HIVE, at March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021. The following table summarizes the fair values of embedded derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, categorized by risk exposure, at March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

For these securities, the Company generally elects to value using the measurement alternative, under which such securities are measured at cost, less impairment, if any. If the Company identifies observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer, the equity security is measured at fair value as of the date the observable transaction occurred, with such changes recorded in investment income (loss). The following table presents the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values held as of March 31, 2022, and 2021, that are measured under the measurement alternative and the related adjustments recorded during the periods presented for those securities with observable price changes or impairments. These securities are included in the nonrecurring fair value hierarchy tables when applicable price changes are observable, or when impairments occur.

The period-end carrying values reflect cumulative purchases and sales in addition to upward and downward carrying value changes. The cumulative amount of upward adjustments to all equity securities without readily determinable fair values total $2.5 million since their respective acquisitions through March 31, 2022. The cumulative amount of impairments and other downward adjustments, which include return of capital distributions and observable price changes, to all equity securities without readily determinable fair values total $1.5 million since their respective acquisitions through March 31, 2022. The Company has an investment in The Sonar Company (“Sonar”), a company headquartered in the United States, at a cost of $175,000. The investment had a carrying value of approximately $362,000 and $100,000 at March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased additional common shares, resulting in an observable price change and upward adjustment for the existing common shares held of approximately $187,000, using the measurement alternative. Roy D. Terracina, Director and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for U.S. Global, has served as the CEO of Sonar since July 2021, and the Company’s ownership of Sonar was approximately 3.7 percent as of March 31, 2022. Investments Classified as Equity Method The Company had an equity method investment in Galileo New Economy Fund LP during the fiscal year 2021, and through its dissolution date, which occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company owned approximately 22 percent of the LP prior to dissolution, and the Company was considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Included in other income (loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, is ($173,000) and ($206,000), respectively, for this investment. Included in other income (loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, is ($64,000) and $420,000 respectively, for this investment. The Company’s investment in the LP had a carrying value of approximately $532,000 at June 30, 2021. Upon dissolution, the Company received a distribution, which included cash of $85,000, and common shares of an investment held in the LP, which had a fair value of approximately $228,000 when received. Frank Holmes also directly held an investment in the LP and received dissolution proceeds related to his direct investment. Investment Income (Loss) Investment income (loss) from the Company’s investments includes: ● realized gains and losses on sales of securities; ● realized gains and losses on principal payment proceeds; ● unrealized gains and losses on securities at fair value; ● impairments and observable price changes on equity investments without readily determinable fair values; ● dividend and interest income; and ● realized foreign currency gains and losses.

The dividend rate per share was $0.0025 per month for July 2020 through January 2021, $0.0050 per month for February 2021 through September 2021, and $0.0075 per month for October 2021 through March 2022. In March 2022, the Board authorized the continuance of the monthly dividend of $0.0075 per share from April through June 2022, at which time it will be considered for continuation by the Board. The Company has a share repurchase program, approved by the Board of Directors, authorizing the Company to annually purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common shares, as market and business conditions warrant, on the open market in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase program has been in place since December 2012, and the Board of Directors has annually renewed the repurchase program each calendar year. The Company announced on February 25, 2022, that the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase to the limit of its annual share buyback program from $2.75 million to $5.0 million. The acquired shares may be used for corporate purposes, including shares issued to employees in the Company’s stock-based compensation programs.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE The basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of EPS that could occur if options to issue common stock were exercised. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted EPS. Nine Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended March 31, (dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net Income (Loss) $ 5,134 $ 27,212 $ (846 ) $ 8,607 Weighted average number of outstanding shares Basic 15,020,920 15,075,064 15,010,630 15,061,818 Effect of dilutive securities Stock options 1,023 731 952 1,170 Diluted 15,021,943 15,075,795 15,011,582 15,062,988 Earnings Per Share Basic Net Income (Loss) per share $ 0.34 $ 1.81 $ (0.06 ) $ 0.57 Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share $ 0.34 $ 1.81 $ (0.06 ) $ 0.57 The diluted EPS calculation excludes the effect of stock options when their exercise prices exceed the average market price for the period, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, employee stock options for 231,000 were excluded from diluted EPS. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, no employee stock options were excluded from diluted EPS. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company repurchased class A shares on the open market. Upon repurchase, these shares are classified as treasury shares and are deducted from outstanding shares in the earnings per share calculation. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 12. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS The Company continuously reviews investor, employee and vendor complaints, and pending or threatened litigation. The likelihood that a loss contingency exists is evaluated through consultation with legal counsel, and a loss contingency is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. During the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to claims, legal proceedings, and other contingencies. These matters are subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably. The Company establishes accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability in excess of these accruals upon the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Board has authorized a monthly dividend of $0.0075 per share through June 2022, at which time it will be considered for continuation by the Board. Payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the Company, and general business conditions. The total amount of cash dividends expected to be paid to class A and class C shareholders from April to June 2022 is approximately $338,000. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting actions to control or slow the spread had an adverse effect on global and domestic economies and financial markets. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19, but at the date of this report cannot determine the full impact this virus may have on the financial markets and economy in the future. Should this emerging macro-economic risk reoccur and continue for an extended period, there could be an adverse material financial impact to our business and investments, including a material reduction in our results of operations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “U.S. Global”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The Company has consistently followed the accounting policies set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, U.S. Global Investors (Bermuda) Limited, U.S. Global Investors (Canada) Limited (“USCAN”), and U.S. Global Indices, LLC. The novel coronavirus 19 (“COVID-19”) pandemic presents ongoing significant economic and societal disruption and market volatility, which have known and yet to be seen impacts to the Company’s business and operating environment driven by significant volatility in the financial markets. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, how many people are likely to be affected by it, or its impact on the overall economy. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments took various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, which caused some businesses to suspend operations, disrupted the global supply chain, and created a reduction in demand for many products. This negatively affected global financial markets. Assets under management (“AUM”) are the primary source of the Company’s revenues. Revenues and net income are significantly affected by investment performance and the total value and composition of AUM. These factors, in turn, are largely determined by overall investment market performance and investor activity. Should the negative effect on global financial markets reoccur and continue for an extended period, there could be an adverse material financial impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position resulting from reduced revenues earned on AUM and returns on corporate investments. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future impact, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic crisis. There are two primary consolidation models in U.S. GAAP, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and voting interest entity models. The Company’s evaluation for consolidation includes whether entities in which it has an interest or from which it receives fees are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis. A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns and consolidates the VIE on the basis of having a controlling financial interest. The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain funds it advises, specifically, certain funds in U.S. Global Investors Funds (“USGIF” or the “Funds”). The Company’s interests in these VIEs consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein and any fees earned but uncollected. See further information about these funds in Notes 2 and 3. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may choose to waive certain fees or assume operating expenses of the funds it advises for competitive, regulatory or contractual reasons (see Note 3 for information regarding fee waivers). The Company has not provided financial support to any of these entities outside the ordinary course of business. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and fees receivable from, the entities. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s total exposure to unconsolidated VIEs, consisting of the carrying value of investment securities and receivables for fees, was $7.0 million at March 31, 2022, and $7.3 million at June 30, 2021. Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the above funds it advises, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of any of the above funds it advises; therefore, the Company does not consolidate any of these funds. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, and 2022, the Company held a variable interest in a fund organized as a limited partnership, but this entity did not qualify as a VIE. Since it was not a VIE, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate it under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company did not have control of the entity and, therefore, does not consolidate it. However, the Company was considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2022, this entity was dissolved. See further information about this investment in Note 2. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Certain quarterly amounts may not add to the year-to-date amount due to rounding. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company may expect for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), particularly in light of COVID-19 and its effects on the U.S. and global economies. The unaudited interim financial information in these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report; interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual statements. |
