Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

2. The Reporting Person acquired 3,751,264 shares of common stock of Great American Group, Inc. in exchange for 1342.45 shares of common stock of B. Riley and Co. Inc. and 100% of the membership interests in Riley Investment Management LLC and B. Riley and Co. Holdings, LLC in connection with the acquisition of such entities by Great American Group, Inc. (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), which was entered into on May 19, 2014, and placed a value on Great American Group, Inc.'s common stock of $5.00 per share. On June 18, 2014, the effective date of the first closing of the Acquisition, the closing price of Great American Group, Inc.'s common stock was $8.40 per share. Of the 3,751,264 shares issued to the Reporting Person in the Acquisition, 628,727 shares are currently being held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture during the one-year period following the first closing of the Acquisition to serve as security for the indemnification obligations of the Reporting Person and the acquired entities pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and any downward adjustment to the acquisition consideration as a result of the final working capital adjustment provided for in the Acquisition Agreement.

3. Shares were beneficially owned by B. Riley and Co., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley and Co. Inc., and by the Reporting Person, as Chairman and majority indirect owner of B. Riley and Co., LLC. Effective upon the consummation of the Acquisition, B. Riley and Co., LLC became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Great American Group, Inc. and, as a result, all such shares were retired.

4. Held of record by the Robert Antin Children Irrevocable Trust Dtd 1/1/01 (the "Trust"). Mr. Riley, as Trustee may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by the Trust.
