If collection is not reasonably assured, an allowance is established or the receivable is written off when deemed uncollectible.

Marketable Securities - Marketable securities consist of mutual funds that are valued at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses represent the difference between the cost of the securities and their fair value at the reporting date and are included in net income. The first-in, first-out method is used to determine realized gains and losses.

Deferred incentive - The Company entered into a seven-year clearing services agreement with Pershing LLC ("Pershing") and received an incentive credit of \$682,901 to join its platform. This incentive is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The unamortized portion of the incentive is recorded as deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2025 the remaining deferred incentive balance was \$560,954.

Equipment and furnishings - Equipment and furnishings consist primarily of furniture, fixtures, and office equipment that are stated at cost and are being depreciated over estimated useful lives of three to five years using straight-line methods.

Income taxes - As a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company is part of the consolidated tax return filing of Orange Street. The Company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of this consolidated group, is responsible for its share of its income tax allocated by its share of taxable income.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, *Income Taxes.* Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which

## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance was not necessary and not recorded at December 31, 2025.

It is the Company's policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management's assessment of whether a tax benefit is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit is established if it is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, the Company's effective tax rate in a given financial period may be affected. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no interest and penalties charged to the Company and the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Company periodically undergoes certain income tax reviews by federal, state, and local taxing authorities. The Company is generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts, if any, until the close of the audits; however, such audits have not resulted in any changes to any prior year Federal or State tax filings. The status of federal and state tax examinations varies by the legal entities and jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is generally subject to potential audit by U.S. Federal or state tax authorities for the years 2022 through 2025 and the Company is not currently undergoing any federal or state tax examination through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Segment Information - Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the prov1s1ons of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 *Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures* ("ASC 280"), that became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Additional disclosures required by ASC 280 are provided in Note 16 - Segment Reporting.

Current Expected Credit Losses - The Company follows ASU 2016-13, *Financial Instruments* - *Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments* ("CECL"). For short-term accounts receivable, CECL requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of a financial asset based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasted information. The Company then records the estimated expected credit losses using an allowance for credit losses, which is presented as a reduction to accounts receivable on the consolidated statement of financial condition. Subsequent changes in the estimated expected credit losses are reported in the respective period's earnings. Receivables

## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

are written off when they are determined to be uncollectable. As of January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, there was no allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, total receivables amounted to \$10,470,791 , of which \$5,888,603 was receivable from broker-dealers and \$4,582,188 was receivable from related parties.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 24, 2026, the date which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no significant subsequent events or transactions which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, other than the three lawsuits settled as disclosed in note 8.

## Note 3 - Cash Deposited with Clearing Organizations

The Company maintains fully disclosed clearing arrangements with multiple clearing brokers (the "Clearing Brokers") under which the Clearing Brokers carry the accounts of the Company's customers and clear and settle customer securities transactions. Under these agreements, the Company introduces all customer accounts to the Clearing Brokers, who maintain the related records, custody of customer securities, and collection and disbursement of customer funds.

The Company is responsible for certain customer activities, including the risk of non-performance by customers in connection with their trading activities. Pursuant to the clearing agreements, the Company is required to maintain deposit accounts with the Clearing Brokers. These deposits totaled \$329,335 at December 31, 2025.

The Company's exposure to credit risk is mitigated by the Clearing Brokers' internal controls, credit policies, and the Company's own procedures for monitoring customer activity. In the event a customer fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company may be required to indemnify the Clearing Brokers for any resulting losses.

The Company does not hold customer funds or securities and is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the exemption provisions of paragraph (k)(2)(ii).

#### Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements

U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a hierarchy of 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 advantageous 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.

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

## Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements (CONTINUED)

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

-Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access;

-Level 2 Inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

-Level 3 Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Assets are recorded at historical cost to obtain the assets unless other inputs are available.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Investments are recorded at fair value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis when calculating gains and losses. Changes in the difference between cost and fair value are included in the consolidated statement of income. The net unrealized holding gain on securities was \$8,022 for the year ended December 31 , 2025 .

Cost and fair value of investments consisted of the following at December 31 , 2025:

|             | Cost |        | Gross<br>Umealwed<br>Gain |        | Level 1 Fair<br>Vame |        |
|-------------|------|--------|---------------------------|--------|----------------------|--------|
| Muma] funds | \$   | 46,413 | \$.                       | 8JU2   | \$                   | 54,435 |
| Tota]       | \$   | 46,413 | \$                        | 8,0a.2 | \$                   | 54,435 |

Subsequent to December 31 , 2025, the firm settled three lawsuits for \$245,000 which were recorded in the 2025 financial year in legal settlements within the other income (expense) section of the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

#### Note 9 - Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from timing differences in depreciation, accounting for unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, and net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31 , 2025, the Company had tax loss carryforwards of\$4,510,744. In accordance with the CARES Act and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, these carryforward losses do not have an expiration date.

#### Note 11 - Segment Reporting

The Company operates as a broker-dealer and has one operating segment, as defined under ASC 280, *Segment Reporting.* The Company's business activities consist primarily of executing securities transactions, providing investment banking services, and other related services in the securities industry. The Company has identified its Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operating Officer who are responsible for segments and operations as the chief operating decision makers ("COD Ms"), who use net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Company. Additionally, the COD Ms use excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, 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 CODMs manage the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. Because the Company has only one operating segment, no additional segment-level information is required under the provisions of ASC 280.

The accompanying consolidated statement of income presents the segment revenue and expenses of this single reporting segment. All revenues and expenses are allocated to the broker-dealer activities, and there is no significant variation in performance across different areas of the business.

The accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition presents all segment assets of this single reporting segment. The cash provided by operating activities of this segment, the deposits of \$61. 7M, is presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

#### Note 12 - Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule") and has elected to compute its net capital under the basic method of this Rule. This Rule requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined. The Rule also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$1,154,589 which was \$655,473 in excess of its required net capital of \$499,116. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 6.48 to 1. The Company is exempt from the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 under Paragraph (k) ( (2) (ii).
