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 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. {5}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_5_Picture_0.jpeg) 40 Westminster Street, Providence, RI 02903 I Tel: 401.621.6200 I Fax: 401.621.6209 I www.pkfod.com nal Limited network of legally independent firms and does not accept any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions on the part of any other individual member firm or firms.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** Nature of business: Barrett & Company (The Company), located in Providence, Rhode Island, is a broker/dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that Rule. Essentially, the requirements of Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) provide that the Company clear all transactions on behalf of customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker/dealer, and promptly transmit all customer funds and securities to the clearing broker/dealer. The clearing broker/dealer carries all of the accounts of the customers and maintains and preserves all related books and records as are customarily kept by a clearing broker/dealer. The transactions cleared through the clearing broker/dealer include the sale of securities and investment advisory services. The Company also provides investment services through the direct sale of mutual funds. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows: Basis of presentation: The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services, including principal transactions, agency transactions and investment advisory. Current expected credit losses: The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with F ASB ASC 326-20, *Financial Instruments* - *Credit losses.* F ASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that adjusts the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense. *Receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations.* The Company's receivables from a clearing organization includes amounts receivable from settled trades. Except for direct-way business, all of the Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled daily by the clearing organization. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. Based on the Company's evaluation of the clearing organization, it has deemed that there is no necessary allowance for credit losses received from the clearing organization as of December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash consists of deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Marketable investment securities: Marketable investment securities are valued at fair value as determined by a quoted price. Securities not readily marketable are valued at fair value as determined by management. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** Income taxes: The Company, with the consent of its stockholder, has elected to be an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of paying corporate income taxes, the stockholder is taxed individually on the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been made. 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 each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. Management has determined there are no uncertain income tax positions. Furniture and office equipment and depreciation: Furniture and office equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the economic useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is less. The depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2025,were \$5,825 and \$79,305, respectively. Advertising costs: The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 were \$18,455 Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Leases: The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, *Leases.* The Company is a lessee in several noncancellable operating leases for a vehicle. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of the 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. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** *Lease liabilities.* A lease liability is 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. Lease payments, including variable payments based on an index rate, are remeasured when any of the following occur: (1) the lease is modified (and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract), (2) certain contingencies related to variable lease payments are resolved, (3) there is a reassessment of any of the following: the lease term, purchase options or amounts that are probable of being owed under a residual value guarantee. 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 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 initiallymeasured lease liability plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at this 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 lease liability (that is, present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct cost, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line 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 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 its short-term leases on a straight line basis over the lease term. Total lease expense for short-term leases for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$90,140. See Note 6, "Leases" for additional information on the Company's leases. ## **Note 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS** ## **Significant judgments** Revenue from contracts with customers includes brokerage commission income, sale of investment shares and fees from asset management services and other brokerage related fees. 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 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED)** ## **Performance obligations** Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services. The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company's revenue from contracts with its customers: ## *Commissions* 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. Securities transactions and the related commission revenues and expenses are recorded at a point in time on a settlement date basis. The effect of not recording these transactions on a trade date basis when the performance obligation is satisfied as required by U.S. GAAP is not material to these financial statements. ## *Sale of Investment Shares* Revenue from the sale of investment shares, including 12b-1 fees, is derived from services provided in the prior month or quarter and are recognized accordingly. The effect of not recording these fees in the month or quarter when these services are provided as required by generally accepted accounting principles is not material to these financial statements. ## *Asset Management Fees* The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes that the performance obligation for providing advisory fees is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. The fee for services is charged quarterly in advance as a percentage of assets under management in the client's account based upon the prior quarter's ending market value. Investment advisory fees are directly obtained from the clearing firm at the beginning of each quarter, and are evenly recognized each month of that quarter as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. This brings the unearned revenue to zero by quarter end. All revenue earned during 2025 was fully recognized in 2025. {14}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS {CONTINUED)** ## *Firm Trading* Proprietary security transactions in regular-way trades entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded at fair value on a settlement date basis with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in firm trading in the statement of operations. The effect of not recording these transactions on a trade date basis when the performance obligation is satisfied as required by U.S. GAAP is not material to these financial statements. ## *Margin Interest* The Company earns a portion of the interest on customer debit balances carried by its clearing broker net of the clearing broker's allocated cost of borrowed funds. Margin interest is charged to the customer's account on the last day of the month and recognized by the Company on a monthly basis. The accounting for these revenues is not impacted by ASC 606 as they fall outside of its scope. ## *Other Revenue* Other revenue can include fees collected for services provided by the Company's registered representatives, clearing firm revenue sharing programs, as well as managed account transaction and service fees. Other revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as earned. ## *Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract with Customers* The Company has elected to expense incremental or avoidable costs to obtain a contract with a customer since the amortization period for these costs would be one year or less. ### *Disaggregated Revenue from Contracts with Customers* The following table represents commission revenue by major source: | Commissions -
over the counter | \$
44,074 | |-----------------------------------|---------------| | Commissions -
listed | 44,460 | | Closed-end mutual funds | 17,714 | | Master limited partnerships | 1,567 | | Unit investment trusts | 27,850 | | Other | 13,984 | | | \$
149,649 | {15}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note3. CASH** The Company maintains its cash accounts in one commercial bank. At times, the amount in the accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The amount on deposit at December 31, 2025 did not exceed insurance limits. ## **Note 4. NFS AGREEMENT** The Company has a clearing agreement with National Financial Services, LLC (NFS). Under this agreement, NFS clears transactions on a fully disclosed basis for accounts of Barrett & Company and of the Company's customers, which are introduced by the Company and accepted by NFS. NFS maintains stock records and other records on a basis consistent with generally accepted practices in the securities industry and maintains copies of such records in accordance with the FINRA and SEC guidelines for record retention. NFS is responsible for the safeguarding of all funds and securities delivered to and accepted by it. NFS prepares and sends to customers monthly or quarterly statements of account. Barrett & Company does not generate and/or prepare any statements, billings or compilations regarding any account. The Company examines all monthly statements of account, monthly statements of clearing services and other reports provided by NFS and notifies NFS of any error. NFS charges the Company for clearing services. NFS also collects all commissions on behalf of the Company and makes payments to the Company for its share of commissions. The Company carries its receivable from NFS at cost. If a customer of the Company did not pay NFS a commission, the assets of that customer's account would be liquidated to cover any amount owed for the commission. Any shortfall between the value of the assets and the amount owed for the commission would have to be absorbed by the Company as bad debt. The Company has deemed an allowance for such a loss as unnecessary, since historically these losses have been minimal and immaterial. The NFS receivable balance was \$16,838 at January 1, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 92.5 8% of revenues are generated from security transactions cleared through NFS. At December 31, 2025, amounts due from NFS in accounts receivable totaled \$15,521. ## **Note 5. FAIR VALUE** ## *Fair Value Hierarchy* F ASB ASC 820 defines fair value, 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 F ASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value. {16}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 5. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)** The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: - *Level 1.* Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. - *Level 2.* Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. - *Level 3.* Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows. *Exchange-Traded Equity Securities.* Exchange-traded equity securities are generally valued based on quoted prices from the exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied, and they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are categorized in level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025: There were no transfers between levels during the year. | | | | Netting and | | | | | | |-------------------|---------|--------|-------------|--------|----|------------|----|-------| | | Level 1 | Level2 | | Level3 | | Collateral | | Total | | ASSETS | | | | | | | | | | Securities owned: | | | | | | | | | | Equities | \$ | \$ | \$ | 8,361 | \$ | | \$ | 8,361 | | | \$ | \$ | \$ | 8,361 | \$ | | \$ | 8,361 | {17}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** #### **Note 5. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)** The following is a reconciliation of activity for the Company's financial assets valued using Level 3 inputs for the year ended December 31, 2025: | Balance, beginning of year | 8,759 | |-------------------------------|-------| | Unrealized gains/losses (net) | 398 | | Balance, end of year | 8,361 | ## *Additional Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Including Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value)* U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair values. Financial instruments within the scope of these disclosure requirements are included in the following table. 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 nature and generally negligible credit risk. These instruments include cash, short-term receivables, borrowings, accounts payable, and other liabilities. The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values at December 31, 2025, of financial assets and liabilities, excluding financial instruments that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, and information is provided on their classification within the fair value hierarchy. | | Carrying | | | | Total Estimated | | |------------------------|--------------|-----------|-----------|---------|-----------------|--| | | Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | | | ASSETS | | | | | | | | Cash | \$ 222,701 | \$222,701 | \$ | \$

LEASES** The Company has an obligation as a lessee for a vehicle with an initial noncancelable term in excess of one year. The Company classifies this lease as an operating lease. The Company's leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Total lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$14,684. The lease has a remaining term of 7 months. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The Company includes options to renew in the expected term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs and lease incentives. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases based upon current bank financing rates. | Leases | Classification | Balance | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------|---------|-------|--| | ASSETS | | | | | | Operating asset | Right-of-use asset | \$ | 8,078 | | | Total lease asset | | \$ | 8,078 | | | | | | | | | LIABILITIES | | | | | | Operating | Lease liability | \$ | 7,350 | | | Total lease liability | | \$ | 7,350 | | | | | | | | | Remaining lease term (years) - | operating lease | | 0.58 | | | Discount rate - | operating lease | | 5.52% | | At December 31, 2025, maturities of the lease liability were as follows: | Year ending December 31 | | |----------------------------------|-------------| | 2026 | 7,486 | | Total lease payments | \$

In addition, the Company's direct sale activity is exempt from the customer reserve and possession and control requirements of Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073. ## **Note 8. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3-1 ), which requires the maintenance of a minimum amount of net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital ("net capital ratio"), both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Rule 15c3-l 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 and net capital requirements of \$165,683 and \$5,000, respectively. The Company's net capital ratio at December 31, 2025 was 0.44 to 1. ## **Note 9. STATEMENT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (d) OF RULE 17a-5** There are no material differences between the computation of net capital and the corresponding computation prepared by and included in the Company's unaudited Part IIA Focus Report filing as of December 31, 2025. ## **Note 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** The Company has entered into the following transactions with related parties: The Company leases its Providence office space from Wilcox Partners, a Rhode Island real estate partnership. The Company's sole stockholder owns a 33% interest in the partnership. The space is currently leased on a month-to-month basis. Rent expense related to the lease amounted to \$90,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025. Pursuant to Section IX of the agreement to offer clearing and execution services by National Financial Services, LLC (NFS), Barrett & Company must maintain a balance of \$125,000 in an escrow account. The stockholder of the Company has pledged certain personally owned marketable securities to fulfill this obligation. ## **Note 11. PENSION PLAN** The Company has a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan. The plan covers substantially all of its employees who have completed one month of service and attained age 21 for employee deferrals. The Plan's assets are held by NFS. The Company has the discretion to match employee deferrals for those employees who have completed six months of service and attained age 21. The Company made profit sharing contributions of \$42,228 in 2025. {20}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 12. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK** As discussed in Note 4, the Company's customer securities transactions are introduced on a fully-disclosed basis with NFS. NFS carries all of the accounts of the customers of the Company and is responsible for execution, collection of and payment of funds, and receipt and delivery of securities relative to customer transactions. Off-balance-sheet risk exists with respect to these transactions due to the possibility that customers may be unable to fulfill their contractual commitments wherein NFS may charge any losses it incurs to the Company. The Company seeks to minimize the risk through procedures designed to monitor the credit worthiness of its customers and insure that customer transactions are executed properly by NFS. ## **Note 13. COMMITTMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES** The accrual amounts for legal contingencies are estimated in accordance with the probability of occurrence and reasonably estimable criteria of ASC Subtopic 450-20, "Loss Contingencies". Provisions for loss contingencies are recorded in other operating expenses in the statement of income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was not involved in any significant pending court proceedings or regulatory actions, therefore no loss provisions have been recognized. ## **Note 14. SEGMENT REPORTING** The Company has one reportable segment: investment services to customers as a broker/dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA. The Company derives revenue primarily from Rhode Island and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company derives revenue from customers by buying and selling securities on behalf of its customers, sales of investment company shares and providing investment advisory services. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the President. The accounting policies of the investment services segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1 ). The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the investment services segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the statement of income as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the statement of financial condition as consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the investment services segment or to pay additional compensation. {21}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025** ## **Note 14.
