Los Angeles, California #### **Opinion on the Financial Statement** We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Greif & Co. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 1998.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2024 Greif & Co. (the "Company") is a registered broker and dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities brokerdealer that provides investment banking services to companies primarily in the United States of America that are seeking to raise capital or to acquire or divest operations. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to financial advisory services in connection with corporate mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and reorganizations; private placements of equity and debt securities with institutional and other qualified investors; and rendering fairness opinions and business valuations. ### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The accompanying statement of financial condition has been prepared on t'he accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("F ASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). ### Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Depreciation: Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally as follows: | Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | |------------------------|--------------| | Office equipment | 3 to 5 years | Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the applicable lease or the life of the asset. S Corporation election: Historically, the Company and its stockholder have elected to treat corporate taxable income as income to the stockholder. Accordingly, federal and state income taxes are liabilities of the stockholder and not of the Company, except that California levies a 1.5% tax on electing corporations. The Company elected to be taxed at the entity level as allowed for under State of California, AB 150, which is available for taxable years 2021 through 2025 and allows S Corporations, partnerships, and LLCs doing business (Continued) Page 3 {8}------------------------------------------------ ### GREIF & CO. I NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT (Continued) December 31, 2024 ### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) in California that are required to file a California return to make an election to pay a passthrough entity tax equal to 9.3% on qualified net income. Any passthrough entity tax payments are recorded as stockholder distributions and refunds of such payments are recorded as capital contributions. The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the statement of financial condition if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on a tax return upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority. Cash equivalents: I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investment banking receivables and allowance for credit losses: Investment banking receivables are reported at the customers' outstanding balances less any allowance for credit losses. Interest is not accrued on receivables. The balance of investment banking receivables totaled \$75,458 as of January 1, 2024. Management estimates the allowance for expected credit losses by applying historical credit loss rates to receivable aging categories. Management considers historical loss information to be a reasonable basis for its estimate as the composition of accounts receivable and the risk characteristics of its customers and lending practices have not changed significantly over time. In addition, accounts are pooled by aging category as the change in risk characteristics is similar as accounts age . Accounts are considered for write-off when they become past due and when it is determined that the probability of collection is remote. Management has determined that the current conditions and reasonable, supportable forecasted economic conditions are consistent with the economic conditions included in the historical information. In the fourth quarter of 2024, management determined that an allowance was necessary for estimated credit losses. Accordingly, the balance of investment banking receivables of \$39,505 at December 31, 2024, is net ofan allowance of\$185,362. ### Leases: The Company has various non-cancellable lease agreements for its office space and automobiles. These leases are recorded as operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases with an initial term of **12** months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (Continued) Page 4 {9}------------------------------------------------ ### GREIF & CO. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT (Continued) December 31, 2024 ### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) ### Long-lived assets: I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable . **An** impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount. If an impairment is indicated, the amount of the loss to be recorded is based on an estimate of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Fair value is based upon discounted estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and other valuation methods. Management believes there has been no impairment in the value of long-lived assets at December 31., 2024. ### Customer accounts: The Company, (1) does not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (2) does not carry accounts of or for customers, and (3) does not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3). In reliance on Footnote 74 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-70073, in the opinion of management, the Company has complied with the exemptive provisions relating to the computation for determination of reserve requirements and information relating to the possession or control requirements throughout the year ended December 31, 2024. ### Contract Liabilities: A contract liability is recorded when payments are received in advance of performing service obligations and is recognized as revenue upon completion of a transaction or when a transaction is otherwise concluded. Total contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024, were \$835,100. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures. # I NOTE 2: CONCENTRATIONS I Cash and cash equivalents: The Company maintains cash balances at two banks where amounts on deposit may exceed \$250,000 throughout the year. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to \$250,000. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### GREIF & CO.

24,828 | | | ### NOTE 4: RIGHT OF USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES The Company leases office space in Los Angeles, California and an automobile under non-cancelable leases pursuant to agreements expiring through June 2026. The office lease requires additional payments based on the operating costs of the building. None of the lease agreements have material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The present value of lease payments on the automobile was determined using a rate of 7.3% that was implicit in the agreement. As the office lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 8.5%, based on information available at the date of adoption of Topic 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Leased assets and liabilities consisted of the following: | | December 31, | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|--| | | 2024 | | | Right of Use Asset, net of amortization | \$
