### 1.

#### Business

Kensington Capital Corp. ("the Company") is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is registered with the National Futures Association ("NFA"). The Company introduces its customers' business on a fully disclosed basis to two clearing brokers, who clear and carry the Company's customer accounts.

#### Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Revenue is recognized when earned, while expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

#### Cash in Bank

The Company maintains its bank accounts in high credit quality institutions. Balances at times may exceed federally insured limits. The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk.

#### Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows.

### Receivable from Clearing Firm and Restricted Cash

The Company has an agreement with two clearing brokers to execute and clear, on a fully disclosed basis, customer accounts of the Company. In accordance with this agreement, the Company is required to maintain a deposit in cash or securities. The Company has a deposit with two clearing brokers, which is refundable to the Company should it discontinue its agreement. Amounts receivable from its clearing organizations consists of commissions receivable. The receivable is considered fully collectible and no allowance is required.

#### Property and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment are from 5 to 7 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Additions, improvements, and expenditures that extend the life of the assets are capitalized.

{7}------------------------------------------------

The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying amounts of long-lived assets. A loss is recognized when expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is the difference by which future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss on its long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.

# Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as an "S" Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and New York State tax law. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal and New York State income taxes are reflected in the accompanying statement of income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of the Company's taxable income. The Company is a taxable entity for New York City ("NYC") income taxes. The provision for New York City income taxes is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations.

The company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of the period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

### Use of Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to transactions in process and events as of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon completion, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

### Financial Instruments Owned

Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are recorded on the trade date, as if they had settled. Profit and loss arising from all securities and commodities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade date basis. The Company values investments in equity securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at fair value based on exit price. The Company records such instruments on a trade date basis and values

{8}------------------------------------------------

them at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from securities traded in the normal course of business are reflected in net depreciation in fair values of securities owned in the accompanying statement of income

Amounts receivable and payable for securities transactions that have not reached their contractual settlement date are recorded net on the statement of financial condition.

#### Broker Dealer- Segment Reporting

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including principal transactions and agency transactions. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. 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.

#### 2 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"). The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration of which the entity expects to receive for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (ii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Each of these steps involves management's judgment and an analysis of the material terms and conditions of the contract.

#### Securities Transactions

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the clearing firm fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the

{9}------------------------------------------------

pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the securities have been transferred to/from the customer.

The Company enters into arrangements with pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

### Mutual Fund Fees

The Company earns trail commissions on certain mutual funds sold to customers for a specified period of time that the customer remains in the fund. The Company records trail commission revenue as trail commissions are remitted to the Company from the mutual funds, as that is when the Company deems the performance obligation has been met. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists outside of the Company's control as to the length of time the customer will remain in the mutual fund and therefore does not recognize trail commission revenue until that contingency is resolved.

#### Interest Rebates

The Company receives a monthly rebate from its clearing broker based on the monthly average balance of customers' debit balances and credit balances pursuant to the terms of the Company's clearing agreement. The Company believes that the performance obligation is met when the interest has been credited to the Company's account each month by its clearing broker. Dividend income is received on positions held in the proprietary account and recognized as received as that is when the performance obligations are satisfied.

#### Rebate Income

Rebate income represents amounts received from the Company's clearing firm related to postage, handling, and other administrative services performed in connection with customer account activity. These amounts are earned pursuant to the Company's clearing agreement and are intended to offset certain operating expenses incurred by the Company.

{10}------------------------------------------------

### Distribution fees

The Company enters into arrangements with managed accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable accounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of the time the investor remains in the funds, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

### Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of revenue items that individually are not material to the financial operating results of the Company.

#### 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy for fair value inputs. Fair value is 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantages market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

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

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following table represents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2025:

| Description   | l evel l | l evel   2 | l evel 3 | Total    |
|---------------|----------|------------|----------|----------|
|               |          |            |          |          |
| Common Stocks | \$95.849 |            |          | \$95.849 |

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the balance sheet at December 31 2025, which approximates fair value due to their short-term highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash, due from/to the broker-dealers and clearing organizations, accounts payable, and dividend payable. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

#### 5. Commitments and related party transactions

The Company operates in office space under a month-to-month lease. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, was \$61,100 and is included in the Occupancy line item on the Statement of Operations. Of the \$61,100 paid for rent, \$12,000 was paid to a related party.

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

#### 6. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has established a Defined Contribution Plan for its employees under Section 401(k) of the IRC. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred employer contribution expenses of \$33,439 and is included in the Compensation and Benefits line item on the Statement of Operations.

#### 7. Credit Losses

The Company follows ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer). There were no credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### 8. Indemnification

In the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies and guarantees certain service providers against specified potential losses in connection with their acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

#### 9. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Act Uniform Net Capital Rule (15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. The Company is also subject to the net capital requirements of Regulation 1.17 under the Commodity Futures trading Commission ("CFTC") which requires the Company to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined, in the amount of the greater of 6 2/3% of

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

aggregate indebtedness or \$100,000. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$263,810 which was \$163,810 in excess of its required net capital of \$100,000. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio percentage was 138.23%.

#### 10. Contingencies and Concentration of Credit Risk

Pursuant to the clearing agreements, the Company introduces all of its securities transactions to a clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis. Therefore, all of the customer's money balances and long and short securities positions are carried on the books of the clearing broker. Under certain conditions, as defined in the clearing broker agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing broker for losses, if any, which the clearing broker may sustain from carrying securities transactions introduced by the Company. In accordance with industry practice and regulatory requirements, the Company, and the clearing broker, monitor collateral on the securities transactions introduced by the Company.

The Company is subject to arbitration and litigation in the normal course of business. The Company was not the subject of any litigation during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. Such investments at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had no litigation or contingencies.

#### 11. Subsequent Events
