### 1. Organization and Description of Business

Man Investments Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Investments Holdings Inc. (the "Parent") which, in turn, is wholly owned by Man Investments USA Holdings Inc. ("MIUHI"). MIUHI is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Group plc, a Jersey public limited company, thus the Company, too, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Man Group plc.

The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). FINRA is the designated examining authority for the Company. The Company's activities are limited to selling mutual funds on an application way basis only or through a clearing firm, selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions, and private placements of securities, all subject to and in accordance with the Company's membership agreement and regulatory permissions with FINRA.

# 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

### Basis of Accounting

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

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash of \$667,019 represents cash deposits held at banks used in the ordinary course of business. Cash equivalents of \$28,157,797 represent money market mutual funds investing entirely in United States of America ("US") treasury instruments.

#### Fair Value

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recorded at amounts that approximate fair value. The fair value of the assets or liabilities represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Receivables due from affiliates relate to amounts due from Man Group plc and its subsidiaries ("Man Group"). Other than cash held with an affiliate relating to Man Group's central cash management program, receivables due from affiliates are generally settled within 30 days. The liabilities owed by the Company consist of accrued expenses and payables due to broker-dealers and affiliates that have short settlement periods and insignificant nonperformance risk.

US GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair values. Certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the Statement of Financial Condition are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short term or demand nature and generally negligible credit risk. These instruments include cash, cash equivalents, receivables due from affiliates, dividend receivables, accrued expenses and other liabilities and payables to brokerdealers.

Cash and cash equivalents are considered level 1 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy as there are quoted prices obtained from brokers for identical assets in active markets. All other financial instruments noted above are considered level 2.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated federal and state unitary income tax returns filed by MIUHI for its Group (the "Man US Group").

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

# Man Investments Inc. Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2022

The Company accounts for its income tax in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income taxes ("ASC 740"). Income taxes are determined on a separate company basis. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes are provided for the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a 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 results of recent operations. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50 percent) to be realized.

Under ASC 740, uncertainty in income tax positions is accounted for by recognizing in the financial statement the impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Management considers the facts and circumstances available to determine the appropriate tax benefit to recognize, including tax legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings, and case law. Differences could exist between the ultimate outcome of the examination of a tax position and management's estimate. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022.

# Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. In preparing the financial statements, management makes judgements for its ability to realize deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

# Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

# 3. Related Party Transactions

Substantially all of the Company's revenues and expenses are related to fees earned and expenses allocated from affiliates and the Parent, respectively.

The Parent provides the Company with personnel, technology support, legal and compliance, as well as finance and administration services. Expenses incurred which are directly related to the Company's activities are 100% allocated to the Company. Other shared support costs are allocated to the Company based on the contribution to the Company's revenue generating activities, which is generally determined by utilizing a weighted headcount. The Company recognizes its allocable share of expenses incurred by the Parent on its behalf at cost plus a markup of 0% to 7% based on the Group's transfer pricing policy and are reflected in their respective expense categories on the Statement of Income. The Company reimburses the Parent, generally on a monthly basis, for its

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

share of the expenses incurred by the Parent based on the terms listed in the Administrative Services and Expense Funding Agreement between the Company and the Parent.

The Company may at times carry receivable or payable balances with affiliates. At December 31, 2022, the Company owed affiliates \$2,667,775 , which is identified on the Statement of Financial Condition as Due to affiliates. Receivables due from affiliates of \$ 86,576,461 includes \$82,116,020 relating to Man Group's central cash management program and the remainder being amounts due for fees earned from subsidiaries of Man Group plc as noted above.

The Company has received a letter of support from its indirect parent company stating its intent and ability to contribute capital that may be necessary to provide financial support to the Company to enable it to meet its obligations as of and when they come due for a period of no less than twelve months from the issuance date of the annual financial statements.

# 4. Regulatory Requirements

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the SEC. Under the Act, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined, and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital shall not exceed 15 to 1.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$ 20,483,083 which was \$19,964,511 above the required minimum net capital of \$518,572. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.38 to 1.

The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3, in reliance on footnote 74 of SEC Release 34-70073 regarding adopting amendments to Exchange Act Rule 17a-5. The Company (i) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (ii) did not carry accounts of or for customers, and (iii) did not carry PAB accounts as defined under Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3. The Company met the conditions of footnote 74 throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 without exception.

# 5. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may be named as a defendant in certain litigation, arbitrations and regulatory actions arising out of its activities as a broker-dealer. Management accrues for such amounts when deemed probable and estimable in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies. Management, after consultation with outside counsel, does not believe that any current actions could be material to the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Company has no other commitments and contingencies.

# 6. Income Taxes

The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of \$ 42,319 at December 31, 2022. The deferred tax asset is due to differences in the basis of accounting for US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for certain assets and liabilities recognized by the Company as the Company prepares tax returns in conformity with IFRS. These differences are limited to the accounting for the Company's allocation of rent expense and compensated absences under US GAAP. Management has evaluated all available evidence and has concluded that it is more likely than not its deferred tax assets will be realized and, therefore, no valuation allowance has been established against the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2022.

The table below represents the components of deferred tax asset.

Tax years 2019 to the present are open for examination by the Federal, state, and local tax authorities. The 2016 to 2020 tax years are currently under examination by New York State.

# 7. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is engaged in various activities in which counterparties primarily include brokerdealers, affiliates, and other financial institutions. In the event the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. The Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Company maintains its cash in non-interest-bearing accounts at one bank, which exceeds Federal insurance limits. At December 31, 2022, the Company held cash above the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limits in the amount of \$417,019. The Company's cash equivalents of \$28,157,797 are held in a single money market fund which is not FDIC insured.

# 8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and determined there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or further disclosure to the financial statements.
