#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Stockholders Intercarolina Financial Services, Inc.:

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Intercarolina Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and supplemental schedules (collectively referred to as 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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.

{4}------------------------------------------------

#### Auditors' Report on Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in schedules 1-3 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information.

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

#### NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business - Intercarolina Financial Services, Inc., ("The Company") is a fully disclosed introducing broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of various exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). When required, the Company's securities are cleared through a clearing broker dealer but the Company also sells products such as mutual funds and variable annuities which do not require a clearing broker. The Company does not maintain customers' security accounts nor does it perform custodial functions related to customer securities.

Basis of Presentation - The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services. The Company's policy is to propare its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company charges certain expenses to its brokers including occupancy, insurance, regulatory and exchange fees and professional fees. The expenses in the Statement of Income are presented net of chargebacks.

Securities Transactions - Commission revenues from securities transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses -- Pursuant to FASB ASC 326, the Company records an allowance for credit losses in amounts equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred. Management considers all accounts receivable collectible at December 31, 2025, therefore an allowance for credit losses is not required.

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

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

#### NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on deposit with federally insured commercial banks, cash on deposit with clearing brokers, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.

Use of Estimates - The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Leases .- In accordance with ASC 842, operating lease liabilities and their corresponding rightof-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Prospectively, the Company will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the statement of financial condition. The Company typically only includes an initial lease term in its assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew a lease are not included in the Company's assessment unless there is reasonable certainly that the Company will renew.

Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease.

Maturities of lease liabilities under operating leases as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

| 2026                              | ਦਿੱਤੇ | 44,697   |
|-----------------------------------|-------|----------|
| 2027                              |       | 45,893   |
| 2028                              |       | 27,986   |
| Total Undiscounted Lease Payments |       | 118.576  |
| I ess interest                    |       | (11,387) |
| Total Lease Liabilities           | ਉ     | 107,189  |

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

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

#### NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

All of the Company's leases are accounted for under ASC 842. These leases include the lease of office space under a five-year agreement expiring in 2028 and the lease of office equipment under a 63-month agreement expiring in 2028. The total lease cost associated with these leases for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$43,524.

Deposits Held In Financial Institutions - The Company maintains its cash balances in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to \$250,000 per institution and did not exceed the federally insured limit at December 31, 2025.

Subsequent Events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 24, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

#### NOTE 2 - Related Party Transactions

The Company has made unsecured non-interest-bearing advances to stockholders of \$48,892 as of December 31, 2025. Unsecured non-interest bearing advances from a stockholder of \$733 were repaid in 2025.

#### NOTE 3 - Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers. The Company did not contribute to the plan in 2025.

#### NOTE 4 - Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S-Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

For tax years beginning after 2021, partnerships and S Corporations can make a Pass-Through Entity Tax (Taxed PTE) Election to pay North Carolina income tax at the entity level creating a deduction against pass-through federal income. The provision for income taxes relates to the Taxed PTE Election.

The Company has implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

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

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

### NOTE 4 - Income Taxes (Continued)

Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions initially and subsequently need to be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the positions and relevant facts. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and has incurred no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2022.

#### NOTE 5 - Net Capital Requirement

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1). At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$26,987, which was \$14,820 in excess of its required net capital of \$8,112. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 4.51 to 1 at December 31, 2025.

#### NOTE 6 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU requires the Company to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers.

Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission income, variable annuity contracts and fees from asset management services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. 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; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

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

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

#### NOTE 6 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)

Commissions - All Other Securities - The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers (REITS and REITS Trails for the year ended December 31, 2025). Each time a customer enters into a buy or self transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company 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 at a point in time (the trade date) because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the securities have been transferred to/from the customer.

Investment Company Shares - 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 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.

Unregistered Offerings and Alternative Investments - The Company sells securities which are not required to be registered with the SEC in reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The Company also sells alternative investments which are financial assets that fall outside traditional investment categories like stocks, bonds, and cash; offering unique opportunities for diversification and potential higher returns. The Company believes that the performance obligation for both of these items is satisfied at a point in time (the trade date) because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchases is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the securities has been transferred to the customer.

#### NOTE 6 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)

Fees for Account Supervision and Investment Advisory Services - The Company provides account supervision and investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing these services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received quarterly and are recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods.

Variable Annuity Contracts - The Company purchases insurance based products in the form of variable annuity contracts on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into one of these contracts, the Company earns a commission. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time (the contract date) because that is when the underlying financial instrument is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the contract have been transferred to the customer.

#### NOTE 7 - Contingencies

The Company was involved in an arbitration proceeding with a former client primarily related to investment risk and strategy. The claim was settled in May 2025 for \$35,000.

# Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

#### NOTE 8 - Note Payable

The Company borrowed \$42,000 from an unrelated individual in May of 2025. The note bore interest at 10% and was payable in 24 monthly installments of \$1,937 beginning in July 2025. The note was repaid in October 2025.

#### NOTE 9 - 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. 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 Note 5), 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. The statement of income on page 3 presents the segment revenue and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Members Intercarolina Financial Services, Inc .:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) Intercarolina Financial Services, Inc. ( the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to the following types of business: mutual fund retailer on an application way basis or wire order basis, mutual fund securities broker, municipal securities broker or dealer selling variable life insurance or annuities, broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions, and direct participation programs. In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 12c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
