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

# (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Organization

Cresap, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on December 7, 1989 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose of conducting business as a broker-dealer. On January 16, 1990, 100 shares of common stock were sold to the President and sole stockholder, Mark W. Cresap, III. The Company became a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (now the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) on May 11, 1990.

The Company uses a clearing broker-dealer for all customer transactions.

### Significant Accounting Policies

#### Cash

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company includes as cash, amounts on deposit at banks and funds held on account by the Company's clearing broker. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

### Investments

Investments consist of US Treasury Notes with a coupon rate of 3.75% and a maturity date April 15, 2026. These US Treasury Notes are recorded at current market value.

### Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straightline method based on the estimated lives ranging from five to seven years. In 2025 depreciation expense was \$10,411.

### Leasehold Improvements

Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using the straightline method over the remaining term of the lease. In 2025 amortization expense was \$1,027.

### Securities Transactions

All securities transactions and related commission income and expenses are recorded on the trade date basis as if they had settled.

### Mutual Fund Fees

Broker-dealers acting as mutual fund distributors may earn 12b-1 fees, paid by the fund to the broker-dealer to cover distribution expenses which encompass marketing and selling of fund shares.

### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

# (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

#### Deposit with Clearing Organization

Restricted cash consists of contractually restricted account balances held at the Company's clearing broker.

#### Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer.

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; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

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 Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with 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 price is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

The Company has entered into contracts with mutual funds of their selling agents and others under which the Company receives selling and distribution commissions resulting from the sale of certain investment products to its customers, including the sale of certain classes of mutual funds shares and variable annuities. The Company has also entered into a contract with its clearing broker-dealer under which the Company receives a share of selling and distribution fees received by the clearing broker-dealer under contracts entered into by the clearing broker-dealer with mutual funds and/or their selling agents. Selling and distribution commissions are paid up front based on a fixed percentage of share price, the price of investment product sold, or the value of specified transactions and are recognized at a point in time on the trade or sale date. 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 pricing for the transaction is agreed upon, and the risks and reward of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. A receivable is recognized if the commission is paid to the Company on a date subsequent to the trade date.

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

# (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Under contracts entered into with mutual funds or their selling agents and others, the Company also receives selling and distribution commissions that are paid over time based on a fixed percentage of the average daily balance of the customer's investment in a fund (12b-1 fees).

The Company also has entered into a contract with its clearing broker-dealer under which the Company receives a share of 12b-1 fees received by the clearing broker-dealer under contracts entered into by the clearing broker-dealer. The Company believes the performance obligation is satisfied over time and recognizes revenue associated with 12b-1 fees over the period to which such fees relate.

The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory 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. The company recognized a retention award of \$200,000 which was included in other income. The retention award from the Company's clearing firm is for \$1,000,000 and amortized over five years.

#### Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. 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. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized 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. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for leases 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 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 period (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straightline basis over the lease term.

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

### (2) NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to the net capital requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Rule 15c 3-1), the Company is required to maintain a minimum "net capital," as defined under such provisions. The rule requires that "aggregate indebtedness," as defined, shall not exceed fifteen times "net capital," as defined, and that minimum "net capital" must be the greater of \$50,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025 the Company had net capital of \$515,890 which was \$452,129 in excess of the minimum net capital requirement of \$63,731. The Company's net capital ratio was 1.85 to 1.

### (3) INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be treated under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable provisions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or Pennsylvania corporate taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholder is liable for federal and Pennsylvania income taxes on the Company's taxable income.

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.

The Company's corporation income tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

### (4) LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has a lease agreement for office space at 259 Radnor Chester Road, Suite 140, Radnor, PA. The term of the lease is from July 1, 2022 through July 31, 2028. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay for a proportional amount of the building's costs.

Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2025 are as follows:

| 2026                                             | \$128,081 |
|--------------------------------------------------|-----------|
| 2027                                             | 131,283   |
| 2028                                             | 77.804    |
| Total payments due under finance lease liability | 337.168   |
| Less discount to present value                   | (31,830   |
| Total finance lease liability                    | 8305.338  |

Rent expense for 2025 was \$142,980.

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

### (5) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has adopted a qualified profit-sharing plan with a 401(k) deferred compensation provision. All employees are eligible to participate in the Company's profitsharing plan and 401(k) plan as long as they are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of employment. The profit-sharing plan provides for contributions by the Company in such amounts as management may determine. The company incurred no profit-sharing plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. The salary deferral 401(k) plan allows eligible employees to defer up to twelve percent of their salary. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make a Non-Elective Contribution to the Plan on the employees behalf.

The Company has adopted a Section 125 plan that offers all employees pre-tax health insurance benefits.

#### (6) SPECIAL ACCOUNT FOR EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF CUSTOMERS

The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and therefore, among other things, is not required to maintain a "Special Reserve Bank Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers," since it meets the requirement of Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii) and does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities.

#### (7) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

The Company at times during operations has cash deposits which exceed \$250,000. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures only the first \$250,000 of funds on deposit. In addition, the Company's bank often places funds in temporary investments which are not insured by the FDIC. The Company had no funds in temporary investment accounts at December 31, 2025. The Company's had no bank account funds in excess of FDIC coverage at December 31, 2025. The Company has also invested \$352,183 in a Federal Money Market Fund and \$975,458 in a U.S. Treasury Note which do not have FDIC coverage.

### (8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company can be subject to regulatory inquires that result in the assessment of fines or other sanctions. Management has determined that as of the financial statement. no assessment of fines or other sanctions are imposed.

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

#### (9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company's investments are reported at fair value in the accompanying statement of financial condition. The methods used to measure fair value may produce an amount that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in markets for identical assets or liabilities (level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or model-derived valuations.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. These inputs reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

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. The designated level for a security is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in that security.

Marketable securities owned and sold, not yet purchased, consist of mutual fund securities recorded at market values, as follows:

|                                 | Owned      |
|---------------------------------|------------|
| Federal Government Money Market | \$ 352,183 |
| US Treasury Notes               | 975.458    |
| Intol Sourcatable Commition     | 01 207 611 |

All securities owned and sold, not yet purchased, are classified as Level 2 securities.

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

# (10) BROKER DEALER - 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 agency transactions, brokerage and investment advisory. 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 2), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits and 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. There are two customers that generate commissions over ten percent of gross revenue.

#### (11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events subsequent to December 31, 2025 of the Company have been evaluated through March 21, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for the purpose of identifying events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, on which. Cresap, Inc identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. ~ 15c3-3(k) under which Cresap, Inc. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. ~240.15c3-3:(2)(ii).

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 Cresap, Inc.'s compliance with the exemption provisions.

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 on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
