# NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Nature of Operations

First Bankers' Banc Securities, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the business of buying and selling fixed income securities for financial institutions primarily located in the Midwestern United States of America. The Company is subject to competition from other broker-dealers. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA").

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bankers' Banc Investment Services, LLC (the "Parent"), which is majority owned by Midwest Independent Bancshares, Inc. (MIB, Inc.).

## Single Reportable Segment

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, agency transactions, investment banking, investment advisory, and venture capital businesses. The Company has identified its President 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 (see Schedule I), 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. Segment financial statements are the same as those presented for the Company as a whole.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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

## NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

#### Receivables

Receivables are stated at the amounts billed to clients and are ordinarily due when invoiced. The Company's policy is to not accrue interest on accounts receivable. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the client. The Company does not maintain an allowance for uncollectible receivables as management believes the amount required for such an allowance would not be material to the financial statements.

## Concentration of Risk

Throughout the year the Company clears trades for a local broker. This is a normal and recurring activity that is reconciled monthly. At year end, approximately 61% of the Company's non-allowable accounts receivable balance was from this broker.

#### Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized since it has an indefinite life. Instead, it is tested annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit or asset is less than its carrying value. During the fourth quarter of 2025 an internal qualitative evaluation was completed, and management determined that no impairment exists as of the date of these financial statements. The following table details the cumulative impairment losses. Goodwill, Gross - December 31, 2025 6,630,768 \$ Cumulative Impairment Losses (830,768) \$ 5,800,000 Cumulative Impairment Losses, December 31, 2024 (830,768) Impairment Loss in 2025 - Cumulative Impairment Losses, December 31, 2025 (830,768) \$

| Cumulative Impairment Losses, December 31, 2025                            |    | (830,768) |

#### Securities Transactions

Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are recorded on the trade dates, as if they had settled. Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade date basis. In certain cases, a broker-dealer or client will fail to deliver securities to the Company and, as a result, the Company will fail to deliver securities to the counterparty to the transaction. The Company promptly forwards securities upon receipt and will settle cash when the security is delivered.

The Company promptly forwards all funds and securities received and does not otherwise hold funds or securities for, or owe money or securities to, clients.

Marketable securities are valued at fair value, and securities not readily marketable are valued at fair value as determined by management. Securities owned by the Company are

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

# NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

#### Securities Transactions (Continued)

considered to be trading securities due to the nature of the Company's business. Any gain or loss is recorded as Principal Transactions on the Statement of Income. The Company may sell a security that it does not own. When the Company sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Company sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. The Company is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price.

## Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

The valuation methods used for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are as follows:

#### Securities Owned, at Fair Value and Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased

Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. The Company does not have any securities that are valued with Level 3 inputs.

{14}------------------------------------------------

## NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

#### Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from one to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and from one to five years for computer equipment and software.

## Leases

The Company follows the guidance for lease accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases. The Company is a lessee in several noncancelable operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset at the commencement date of the lease.

Lease Liabilities. A lease liability is initially and subsequently measured based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate, and are measured using the index or rate at the commencement date. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable; otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of the Company's leases are not readily determinable; accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for each lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rates by starting with the interest rates on its recent borrowings and other observable market rates and adjusting those rates to reflect differences in the amount of collateral and the payment terms of the leases.

ROU Assets. A lessee's ROU asset is measured at the commencement date at the amount of the initially-measured lease liability plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs. Unless impaired, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the re-measured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straightline basis over the lease term.

Accounting Policy Election for Short-Term Leases. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do

{15}------------------------------------------------

# NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

#### Leases (Continued)

#### Accounting Policy Election for Short-Term Leases (Continued)

not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

## Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers generally includes commission income and fees from investment banking and asset management services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms, either written or verbal. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable considerations should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The primary types of revenue earned from customers are identified as follows:

## Underwriting Revenue

- Municipal Securities The Company engages in underwriting municipal securities bidding to secure the deal based upon a competitive bidding process against other broker dealers. The winning bid will provide the lowest total interest cost to the issuing entity.
	- o Upon notification from the issuing entity, the Company sends a good faith deposit which acts as an escrow payment and signifies the contractual obligation to purchase the security/securities as structured on the winning bid form.
	- o Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date as that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the final pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the two entities. There are no performance obligations to allocate transaction pricing.
	- o The commission reflects a mark up in price from dealer cost of securities marketed to the client.
	- o The commission on a buy/sell transaction is only a reflection of the singular transaction and is independent of any other transaction.
	- o Revenue recognition occurs on the trade date and records the amount of transaction profit or loss, net of the good faith deposit.
- Brokered CDs The Company engages in underwriting brokered certificates of deposit.
	- o Upon notification from a customer, the Company initiates a brokerage agreement and terms agreement, which identify the timing, final pricing and agreed upon fees.

{16}------------------------------------------------

# NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

# Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Underwriting Revenue (Continued)

- Brokered CDs (Continued)
	- o Underwriting fees are recorded on the settlement date of the certificate as that is when the underlying financial instrument is finalized and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the two entities.
	- o The underwriting fee reflects a percentage of the total principal amount of the certificate of deposit and is related to the type (best efforts or firm takedown) and maturity structure.
	- o The underwriting fee on the transaction is only a reflection of the singular transaction and is independent of any other transaction.
	- o Revenue recognition occurs on the certificate settlement date and records the amount of total fees collected.

Portfolio Fees – The Company provides fee-related services for investment portfolio accounting and provides due diligence reports via a third party.

- The Company enters into an agreement with the customer to provide a suite of reports based upon customer investment holdings and can provide additional municipal reviews upon request.
- The performance obligations are for the Company to provide a suite of reports on a monthly basis for the investment holdings of the customer, or as requested for municipal reviews.
- Portfolio pricing is determined based upon the number of securities in the investment holdings, as well as number of additional (requested) municipal reviews.
- There is only one performance obligation per service agreement, which is delivery of reports to the customer.
- The Company recognizes revenue at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Mutual Fund 12b-1 Fees – The Company may purchase shares of open/closed-end funds ("mutual funds"). These mutual funds pay the Company a stipulated 12b-1 fee for having funds allocated within their fund family.

- The Company facilitates transactions between customers and mutual fund companies. For this facilitation, the Company is paid a 12b-1 fee directly from the mutual fund family. The fee is paid based upon a set schedule determined by the mutual fund family for retention of money in the fund family.
- The performance obligation is to purchase mutual fund shares on behalf of the customer.
- The transaction price is dictated by the mutual fund company and paid directly to the Company.
- The fee is based upon a singular service and is not split between separate performance obligations.
- The Company recognizes the revenue when the transaction occurs.

{17}------------------------------------------------

# NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

# Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Brokered Loan Fee Income – The Company will act as introducing broker to facilitate the sale of a loan, or group of loans, from one institution to another. The company takes no principal risk and simply acts as an intermediary to help the selling institution transact the sale of the loan, or group of loans, to a purchasing institution.

- The Company facilitates transactions between a selling institution and a purchasing institution. For this facilitation, the Company is paid a brokerage fee directly from the selling institution. The fee is paid based upon a set schedule determined by the selling institution.
- The performance obligation is to find a purchasing institution on a singular loan or group of low-income housing tax credit loans (LIHTC) on behalf of the selling institution.
- The transaction price is dictated by the selling institution and paid directly to the Company upon closing the sale.
- The fee is based upon a singular service and is not split between separate performance obligations.
- The Company recognizes the revenue when the transaction is complete.

Federal Funds Brokered Fee Income – The Company engages in brokering excess bank liquidity and/or sourcing funds for banks in the Federal Funds overnight marketplace.

- The Company brokers an agreement with a customer to sell and/or buy Federal Funds to satisfy the customer's liquidity needs on a daily basis. The agreement identifies the pricing and agreed upon fees.
- Fed Funds Brokerage Fees are recorded on the day of the transaction as that is when the underlying financial instrument is finalized, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the two entities.
- The brokerage fee is a standardized amount and based on volume of the total Federal Funds sold or purchased.
- The brokerage fee on the transaction is only a reflection of the singular transaction and is independent of any other transaction.
- Revenue recognition occurs on the transaction date and invoiced to clients monthly for prior month aggregate activity.

#### Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Adjustments to the annual disclosure of income taxes include: (1) A tabular rate reconciliation comprised of eight specific categories, (2) Incomes taxes paid, disaggregated between significant national, state, and foreign jurisdictions, (3) Eliminates requirements to disclose the nature and estimate of reasonably possible changes to unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months or that an estimated range cannot be made, and (4) Adds a requirement to disclose income

(or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by national and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between national, state and foreign jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 were adopted by the Company on a retrospective basis. There was no material impact to the Company's financial statements as a result of adopting ASU 2023-09.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates for the years and jurisdictions in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered. A change to the tax rates used to measure the Company's deferred taxes is recognized in income during the period in which the new rate(s) were enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent the Company's assets are morelikely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, tax-planning strategies, taxable income in prior carryback years if permitted under tax law, and the results from prior years. If the Company determines it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded with a charge to income tax expense. Alternatively, if the Company determines that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset previously not meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold will be realized, the Company reduces its valuation allowance and recognizes a benefit in income tax expense.

The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740 based on a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more-likelythan-not that the tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position, and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.

The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions, including federal and several states. The Company has federal and state income tax returns that are open to examination from 2022 and forward.

The Company had no material tax positions at December 31, 2025 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company had no accruals for interest or penalties at December 31, 2025.

# NOTE 12 OPERATING LEASES

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office space and office equipment with initial noncancelable terms in excess of one year. The Company classifies these leases as

{25}------------------------------------------------

# NOTE 12 OPERATING LEASES (CONTINUED)

operating leases. These leases may contain renewal options for periods ranging up to five years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise any renewal options, the optional periods are not included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under these renewal options are excluded from lease payments as used to determine the lease liability. The Company's leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of the Company's leases, variable payments. The Company's office space leases require it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of the building's real estate taxes and operating costs, including common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred. Total operating lease cost of \$210,571 is included in the Company's Statement of Income and split between two line items based on the type of lease: Occupancy and Equipment; and Lease Expense.
