(the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

# **4. Income Taxes**

The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes."

Under the applicable asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, deferred taxes are recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based upon the Company's assessment of the realizability of such amounts.

The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes in the manner prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 740. The following is a summary of the components of income tax benefit in the Company's Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

{11}------------------------------------------------

| Income tax expense (benefit) | 2025 |         |  |  |  |
|------------------------------|------|---------|--|--|--|
| Current                      | \$   | (443)   |  |  |  |
| Deferred                     |      | (1,348) |  |  |  |
| Total income tax benefit     | \$   | (1,791) |  |  |  |

At December 31, 2025, the Company's current tax asset was \$443 and is reported as other assets in the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

Federal income taxes attributable to the Company's Statement of Operations are different from the amounts determined by multiplying income before federal income taxes by the expected federal income tax rate of 21%. The following is a summary of the differences between the expected income tax expense at the prescribed U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the total amount of income tax expense that the Company recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025:

| Income tax expense (benefit)        |    | 2025    |  |  |
|-------------------------------------|----|---------|--|--|
| Expected federal income tax expense | \$ | ( 917)  |  |  |
| Other items                         |    | (874)   |  |  |
| Total income tax benefit            | \$ | (1,791) |  |  |

| Description                         | Amount        | Statutory 21% Rate | Effective Tax Rate |
|-------------------------------------|---------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| Income before Taxes                 | \$<br>(4,440) | (932)              | 21%                |
| Permanent and Other Tax Adjustments | (4,085)       | (859)              | 19%                |
| Total                               | \$<br>(8,525) | (1,791)            | 40%                |

The net deferred tax asset shown below represents the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

{12}------------------------------------------------

The components of the Company's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:

| Deferred tax asset              | 2025        |
|---------------------------------|-------------|
| Net operating loss carryforward | \$<br>1,347 |
| Gross deferred tax assets       | 1,347       |
| Valuation allowance             | -           |
| Total deferred tax assets       | 1,347       |
| Deferred tax liabilities        |             |
| Total deferred tax liabilities  | -           |
| Net deferred tax asset          | \$<br>1,347 |

The Company performs the required recoverability (realizability) test in terms of its ability to realize its recorded net deferred tax asset. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income and sources of capital gains, the Company utilizes historical and current operating results and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future federal and state pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

Certain provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as policies on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions for its federal income tax returns that would be material to its financial statements. Tax years prior to 2022 are closed to examination and audit adjustments under the applicable statute of limitations. A review of the Company's income tax filings was performed, and no new uncertain tax positions were identified. Therefore, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax positions ("UTPs") at December 31, 2025.

The Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to UTPs in interest (income) expense. The Company had no interest accrued at December 31, 2025.

The Company is a member of the Group 1001, Inc.'s , an affiliate, federal consolidated tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025. A formal tax allocation agreement has been executed, and the allocation is generally based upon separate return calculations. The Company receives a tax benefit for any of its losses or other Company specific tax attributes that are utilized by the consolidated group. There is \$443 due to the Company under the tax allocation agreement for the 2024 federal tax return at December 31, 2025. State income tax returns are filed on a stand-alone basis.

{13}------------------------------------------------

# **5. Segment Reporting**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business providing certain distribution and underwriting services for certain variable annuities and variable life insurance products issued by the Parent. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses excess net capital (see Note 6) to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company had no revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to the Company's Statement of Operations for the itemized list of all segment expenses (prior to any reimbursements) for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the Statement of Financial Condition for the segment assets at December 31, 2025.

# **6. Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC's uniform net capital rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("SEC Rule 15c3-1") which requires the Company to maintain a specified amount of net capital, as defined, and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital not exceeding 15 to 1. The Company's net capital, as computed pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-1, at December 31, 2025 was \$1,496,674 which was greater than the required net capital of \$5,000 by \$1,491,674. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0 to 1.

# **7. Exemption from Reserve and Security Custody Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3**

The Company claims exemption from the reserve requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under the provisions of subparagraph (k)(1) thereof, as the Company's transactions are limited to the purchase, sale, and redemption of redeemable securities of registered investment companies or of interests or participations in an insurance company separate account, whether or not registered as an investment company. The Company does not receive customer funds or securities in connection with its activities as a broker-dealer. The Company does not hold funds or securities for, or owe money or securities to, customers.

#### **8. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation or other matters that could have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

#### **9. Subsequent Events**

Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 20, 2026, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no events have occurred from December 31, 2025, through February 20, 2026, that require disclosure or adjustment to the financial statements.

# **Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3**

The Company claims exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the provisions of subparagraph (k)(1) thereof, which exempts from the reserve requirements those broker-dealers whose transactions are limited to the sale and redemption of redeemable securities of registered investment companies.
