#### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

Board of Directors (Those Charged with Governance) Mirae Asset Securities (USA), Inc. New York, New York

#### **Opinion on Consolidated Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of Mirae Asset Securities (USA), Inc. (the "Broker-Dealer") and its subsidiary (together, the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statement"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

This consolidated financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Broker-Dealer's auditor since 2019.

## (1) Description of Business

Mirae Asset Securities (USA) Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1992 under the laws of the State of New York to conduct securities business in the United States. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mirae Asset Securities Holdings (USA) Inc. ("the Holdings") a US corporation whose Parent company is Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. ("the Parent"). The Company is a registered broker and dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company is also a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"), Depository Trust Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"), National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC"), Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC"), Mortgage Backed Securities Clearing Corporation ("MBSCC"), National Futures Association ("NFA"), Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC").

In January 2017, the Company was approved by FINRA to expand the scope of business to securities lending and borrowing (including Securities purchased under agreement to resell, and Securities sold under agreement to repurchase transactions), prime brokerage, and correspondent clearing services. The Company is also approved for agency execution and research services. The Company also trades for its own account in U.S. government securities, exchange listed equities, exchange listed options, and futures. In addition to clearing trades on receive versus payment/deliver versus payment ("RVP/DVP") basis, the Company acts as a custodian and carries customer assets. Our firm is also an authorized participant which gives us the right to create and redeem shares for exchange traded funds ("ETFs").

In addition, the Company provides brokerage services in Korean securities through the Parent pursuant to the cooperation agreement and pursuant to a Securities Exchange Act ("SEA") Rule 15a-6(a)(3) arrangement. The Company acts as an intermediary between its Parent and its U.S. institutional investors.

The Company's consolidated subsidiary, Mirae Asset Partner Opportunities Fund I, LP ("MAPOF"), a Delaware Limited Partnership, was formed on December 4, 2020 and commenced operations on January 22, 2021. The purpose of the partnership is to purchase, hold, dispose of, or otherwise deal with securities for its own account, and to engage or participate in any other lawful investment or related activities in which the limited partnerships formed in the State of Delaware may engage or participate. See additional disclosures related to variable interest entities in Note 14.

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

## (a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The consolidated statement of financial condition include the accounts of Mirae Asset Partners Opportunities Fund I, LP in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

{7}------------------------------------------------

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The accounting guidance requires we consolidate entities which meet the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. We consider special allocations of cash flows and preferences, if any, to determine amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests.

In situations in which we have significant influence, but not control, of an entity that does not qualify as a VIE, we apply either equity method of accounting or fair value accounting pursuant to the fair value option under GAAP.

#### (b) Noncontrolling Interests

A noncontrolling interest represents the equity interest in a subsidiary that is not attributable, either directly or indirectly to the Company and is reported as equity of the Company separately from the Company's controlling interest.

#### (c) Use of estimates

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated statement of financial condition and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated statement of financial condition are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and differences may be material.

#### (d) Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash deposits with financial institutions, several of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250 per institution. At December 31, 2025, there were no investments classified as cash equivalents.

#### (e) Cash segregated in compliance with federal and other regulations

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statement of financial condition.

Restricted cash includes cash and securities segregated under federal and other regulations on the consolidated statement of financial condition represents cash segregated or set aside to satisfy requirements under both Securities Exchange Act and Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC. This cash is held within special reserve bank accounts for the benefit of customers and brokerdealers.

## (f) Receivables from/Payables to brokers or dealers and clearing organizations

Receivables from/Payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations represent amounts due in connection with the Company's normal transactions involving trading and clearing of securities in the U.S. In addition, the net receivable or payable arising from unsettled trades is reflected in either the receivable or payable line item on the consolidated statement of financial condition. A portion of the Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled daily between the clearing organization and the Company. The Company's exposure is limited to the unsettled amounts owed to the Company. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties.

## (g) Receivable from/Payable to customers and Receivable from/Payable to correspondents

Receivable from/Payable includes balances arising from customer and correspondent cash and margin transactions. Securities owned by customers and correspondents are held as collateral for receivables. Margin loans represent credit extended to customers and correspondents to finance their purchases of securities by borrowing against securities they own and are fully collateralized by these securities in customer accounts. Collateral is maintained at required levels at all times. The borrowers of a margin loan are contractually required to continually adjust the amount of the collateral as its fair value changes. The Company subjects the borrowers to an internal qualification process to understand investing objectives and monitors daily customer activity. The Company applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for margin loans.

## (h) Receivable from/Payable to counterparties

Receivable from/Payable to counterparties primarily include balances arising from fails to deliver or fails to receive in connection with financing and securities transactions.

## (i) Securities borrowed, Securities loaned, Securities Received as Collateral, and Obligation to Return Securities Received as Collateral

Securities borrowed and Securities loaned result from transactions with other financial institutions ("counterparties") and are accounted for as secured financing, recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the Company had accepted collateral that is permitted by contract to sell or repledge, mostly including exchange listed equities, U.S. treasury securities, and U.S. corporate bonds. Such collateral consists primarily of securities received from broker-dealers and other financial institutions in connection with securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions. Securities Received as Collateral and Obligation to Return Securities Received as Collateral are recorded at the fair value of the underlying securities collateral which at December 31, 2025 were exchange listed equity

{9}------------------------------------------------

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

securities. The market value of the underlying collateral is valued daily, and additional collateral is obtained or refunded as appropriate.

Lending agreements are collateralized by securities with market value in excess of the obligation under the contract which may result in unsecured credit exposure in the event the counterparty to a transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation in a timely matter. The Company applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for lending agreements. The Company has established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on lending agreements transactions including reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure, maintaining collateral, and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company minimizes credit risk associated with lending agreements activities by daily monitoring type and grade of securities posted as collateral and requiring additional collateral to be deposited with the Company.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 860, Transfers and Servicing, when the Company acts as the lender in a securities lending agreement and receives securities as collateral that can be pledged or sold, it recognizes the amount of collateral received and a corresponding obligation to return such collateral.

## (i) Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase

Securities purchased under agreements to resell ("resale agreements") and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") are accounted for as secured financing. Resale agreements and repurchase agreements generally are collateralized by U.S. government and agency obligations or U.S. corporate bonds which are recorded at contract price, plus accrued interest. The Company takes possession of securities obtained as collateral for resale agreements at the time such agreements are made. The market value of the underlying collateral is generally valued or monitored daily, and additional collateral is obtained or refunded as appropriate. Resale agreements are collateralized by securities with a market value in excess of the obligation under the contract which may result in unsecured credit exposure in the event the counterparty to a transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation in a timely matter.

The Company applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for resale agreements. The Company has established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on resale agreements transactions including reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure, maintaining collateral, and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company minimizes credit risk associated with resale agreements activities by daily monitoring type and grade of securities posted as collateral and requiring additional collateral to be deposited with the Company.

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Due to the highly liquid nature of the underlying collateral (primarily U.S. government and agency securities) and the short-term maturity of these agreements, in the majority of cases contractual amounts approximate fair value. The Company offsets resale agreements and repurchase agreements when the criteria under FASB ASC 210-20-45-10 are met.

#### (j) Securities owned and Securities sold, not yet purchased

Securities owned and Securities sold, not yet purchased consist of obligations of U.S. treasury securities, corporate debt securities, exchanged listed equities and exchange listed equity options stated at fair value. Purchases and sales of proprietary securities typically settle on a regular way basis and are recorded on a trade-date basis.

#### (k) Other Assets

Other assets primarily consist of security deposits and our ownership interest in DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for NSCC and FICC, all of which a registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company monitors various risk and economic factors related to its interests.

#### (l) Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated statement of financial condition carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a "more likely than not" recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition. In addition, the guidance clarifies the measurement of uncertain tax positions, classification of interest and penalties, and requires additional disclosures on tax reserves.

The Company is a disregarded entity for tax purposes. The Holding Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes. New York State, New York City, and California are principally where the Holding Company is subject to state and local income taxes. The Company's taxable income and loss are reported on the consolidated tax return of the Parent and its subsidiaries. The Company uses a method that allocates current and deferred taxes as if it were a separate taxpayer. The Holding Company is a parent company, taxed as a corporation under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of the U.S.

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances the disclosure requirements related to tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. The ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition. See Note 13 for further information on the Company's updated presentation.

## (m)Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements

Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset, ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line method over the lesser of the life of improvements or the remaining term of the related lease.

## (n) Foreign currency transactions

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable period-end exchange rate.

## (o) Fair value measurements and disclosures

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

• Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities are valued using quoted market prices. Valuation adjustments are not applied. Accordingly, U.S. government securities are generally categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate Bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is determined using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (when observable), bond spreads or credit default swap spreads obtained from independent external parties, such as vendors and brokers, adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. The spread data used is for the same maturity as the bond. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, then data that reference a comparable issuer is used.

When position-specific external price data are not observable, fair value is determined based on either benchmarking to similar instruments or cash flow models with yield curves, bond, or single-name credit default swap spreads and recovery rates as significant inputs. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances when prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Exchange-Listed Equity and Exchange-Listed Equity Option 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.

Investments, at Fair Value. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received in the sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). The Company values its investments in private investment partnerships that are private

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

investment companies using the net asset values provided by the investment companies as a practical expedient. The Company applies the practical expedient to investments in investment partnerships that are private investment companies on an investment-by-investment basis, and consistently with the Company's entire position in a particular investment, unless it is probable that the Company will sell a portion of an investment at an amount different from the net asset value ("NAV") of the investment. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements).

Loans Held for Investments. Loans held for investments are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. Loan receivables that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are classified as held for investment and are reported at amortized cost, which includes unpaid principal balances, any related premiums including fees paid to the originating banks and discounts due to loss on loan purchase commitment for loans with a fair value below the purchase price, where applicable, adjusted for any charge-offs. The amortized cost is adjusted for the allowance for credit losses within loans held for investment, net.

The Company establishes and maintains a general allowance for loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio over the life of the loan and, where appropriate, a specific allowance for loan losses for loans that the Company has determined to be impaired at the reporting date. An individual loan is considered impaired when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

## (p) Bank loan

The Company operates as a clearing broker-dealer and carries proprietary accounts of introducing broker-dealers ("PAB"). Under the terms of clearing and margin agreements with PAB accounts, the Company is permitted to rehypothecate, pledge, or otherwise use PAB margin securities to obtain cash financing. Rehypothecation of PAB securities is generally limited to an amount not exceeding 140% of the related PAB debit balances, consistent with regulatory requirements.

Rehypothecated PAB securities are typically pledged to banks and other financial institutions in exchange for cash. The cash received is used to finance margin lending activities and support the Company's overall liquidity management. These transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings; accordingly, the pledged PAB securities remain reflected in the statement of financial condition in receivable from correspondents, and the related cash received is recorded as a liability.

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

As of December 31, 2025, PAB securities with a fair value of \$25,973 had been pledged to BMO Harris Bank, N.A. in exchange for cash financing of \$23,373 and accrued interest of \$3. The securities pledged consisted of certificates of deposit securities and are generally categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate on the loan is established daily at the greater of 30-day Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the upper limit of the Fed Funds Target Rate plus 1.25%. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate on the loan was 4.80%. The securities are held in BMO Harris Bank N.A.'s Depository Trust Company account. The loan is not subject to any covenants or restrictions.

#### (q) Leases

For leases with an original term longer than one year, the Company accounts for its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement includes 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 right-of-use ("ROU") asset at the commencement date of the lease.

Lease liabilities are based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable, otherwise, the company uses its blended financing rate. The implicit rates of the Company's leases are not readily determinable, accordingly, the Company uses its blended financing rate based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. The Company's blended financing rate for its 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 similar economic environment. The Company determines its blended financing rate by starting with the interest rates on its recent borrowing and other observable markets rates and adjusting those rates to reflect differences in the amount of collateral and the payment terms of the leases.

ROU asset is measured at the commencement date at the amount of the initially recognized lease liability adjusted for any lease prepayments, initial direct costs and lease incentives. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the lease liability, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.

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 does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company does not act as a lessor or have any leases classified as financing leases.

#### (r) 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 FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate

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

#### (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no allowances for credit losses.

## Financial assets measured at amortized cost basis that are eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient.

Many of the Company's financial assets measured at amortized cost basis are eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient as described in FASB ASC 326-20-35-6. The practical expedient may be elected for contracts when the counterparty is contractually obligated to continue to fully replenish the collateral to meet the requirements of the contract and the Company reasonably expects the counterparty to continue to replenish the collateral. The Company elects to use the practical expedient for resale agreements, securities borrowed, and securities received as collateral and other financial assets, when eligible. The Company determines if it is eligible for the collateral maintenance provision practical expedient, considers the credit quality of these assets, and the related need for an allowance for credit losses, based on several factors, including: 1) the daily revaluation of the underlying collateral used to secure the customer's borrowings and collateral, 2) the customer's continuing ability to meet additional collateral requests based on decreases in the market value of the collateral, and 3) its right to sell the securities collateralizing the borrowings, if additional collateral requests are not met by the customer or the amounts borrowed are not returned on demand. Under the collateral maintenance provision practical expedient, the Company compares the amortized cost basis with the fair value of collateral at the reporting date. When the fair value of the collateral is equal to or exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset and the Company reasonably expects the counterparty to continue to replenish the collateral as necessary to meet the requirements of the contract, the practical expedient permits the Company to consider that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. When the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the financial assets, and the Company reasonably expects the counterparty to continue to replenish the collateral as necessary to meet the requirements of the contract, the Company establishes an allowance for credit losses for the unsecured amount of the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses on the financial asset is limited to the difference between the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the financial assets.

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

## (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial assets measured at amortized cost basis that are not eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost basis that are not eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient (and any unsecured amounts for instruments applying the practical expedient), the Company estimates expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

## (3) Regulatory Requirements

The Company, as a registered broker and dealer in securities, is subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-l of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company computes its net capital requirement under the alternative method provided for in Rule 15c3-1, which requires that the Company maintain net capital equal to the greater of 2% of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with the Formula for Determination of Reserve Requirements for Brokers and Dealers, or \$1,500 as defined, inclusive of additional net capital required per 15c3-1(a)(9).

At December 31, 2025, the Company had a minimum net capital requirement of \$7,664 whereas it had net capital of \$325,997 which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by \$318,333. The Company is also subject to the net capital requirements of the CFTC Regulation 1.17 and requirements of the National Futures Association and is required to maintain "adjusted net capital", as these terms are defined in Rule 15c3-1.

The Company is also subject to the SEC's Customer Protection Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-3"), which requires, under certain circumstances, that cash or securities be deposited into a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers and for the proprietary accounts of introducing brokers. At December 31, 2025, the Company maintained \$183,941 in cash segregated for the exclusive benefit of customers and \$67,796 in cash segregated for the exclusive benefit of proprietary accounts of broker dealers as stated on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The Company is subject to routine regulatory examinations from time to time.

## (4) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The asset's 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.

#### Investments, at Fair Value

Investments at fair value include investments in private equity funds which are valued using the NAV practical expedient election, provided by the fund managers and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Investments at fair value also include direct equity investments in private companies, which are measured at fair value using valuation techniques involving transaction prices observed for subsequent financing or capital issuance by the company. Direct equity investments in private companies are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

## (12) Distributions

On December 12, 2025, the Company distributed equity of \$1,000 to Holdings.

{24}------------------------------------------------

## (13) Income Taxes

Holdings was incorporated in March 2018 and the Company became a subsidiary of Holdings in March 2018. Beginning with the tax year 2019, the Company elected to file a consolidated tax return with Holdings. For State purposes, starting tax year 2018, the Company, has filed combined returns with Holdings for States.

The Company recorded a net provision for income taxes of \$41,413 for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a net deferred tax liability of \$22,918, an increase of \$22,085 from the year ended December 31, 2024, before valuation allowance, which consists primarily fixed assets, bad debt allowance, accrued bonus, income/loss from pass-through entities and net operating loss carryforwards.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the historic profitability of the company over the prior three years and projections for the future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

At December 31, 2025, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes of approximately \$2,300 which expire in various years through December 31, 2037, which are subject to limitation as a result of a change in ownership pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has provided for the applicable limitations in determining the current and future utilizable amount of the net operating losses ("NOLs").

FASB ASC 740, requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority based on technical merits of the position. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Company is open for examination for 2022 through present. New York State and New York City are principally where the Company is subject to state and local income taxes. In October 2025, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance commenced an examination of the Company's New York State income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and the examination is in progress as of December 31, 2025.

## (14) Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities ("VIE", "VIE's") are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIE's are consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon initial involvement with a VIE and we reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on the facts and circumstances for each VIE and requires judgement. Our considerations in determining the VIE's most significant activities and whether we have power to direct those activities include, but are not limited to, the VIE's purpose and design and the risks passed through to investors, the voting interests of the VIE (if any), management, service and/or other agreements of the VIE, involvement in the VIE's, involvement in the VIE's initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial guarantees.

We assess our variable interests in a VIE individually to determine whether we have an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether our variable interest is significant to the VIE requires judgement. In determining the significance of our variable interest, we consider the terms and characteristics and size of the variable interests.

## Nonconsolidated VIEs

The table below presents a summary of the nonconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds variable interests.

|  | Carrying Amounts |  |  |         |  |  |  |
|--|------------------|--|--|---------|--|--|--|
|  |                  |  |  | Maximum |  |  |  |
|  |                  |  |  |         |  |  |  |
|  |                  |  |  |         |  |  |  |
|  |                  |  |  |         |  |  |  |
|  |                  |  |  |         |  |  |  |

(1) Our maximum exposure to loss often differs from the carrying value of the variable interest. The maximum exposure loss is dependent on the nature of the variable interests in the VIEs and is limited to equity commitments.

Private equity funds have assets primarily consisting of investments in privately held companies. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value and unfunded capital commitments. At December 31, 2025 the Company had unfunded capital commitments of \$2,944. The carrying value of these investments are included in investments, at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

Commissions on such securities transactions are collected directly from the customers by the Parent and remitted periodically to the Company based on a mutually agreed commission split ratio, generally paying 40% to the Parent. Related commissions receivable from the Parent amounted to \$205 as of December 31, 2025, as reflected in Receivables from affiliates on the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition. Related party payable to the Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. amounted to \$1 as of December 31, 2025, reflected in Accrued and other liabilities. The nature of the payable comes from securities lending transactions.

The Company executes customers' orders for U.S. securities transactions received from the Parent.

In addition, included in receivables from correspondents is \$51,329 receivable from Mirae Asset Securities UK, LTD. and included in payables to correspondents is \$1,662 payable to Mirae Asset Securities HK, LTD.

The Company invested in limited partnership interests in various funds whose general partner and fund manager are related parties as referenced in Note 4.

## (16) Segment Reporting

The Company operates in a single line business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services. The Company identified management as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who use net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 3), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as reinvest profits to expense services. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because management manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole.

Due to the Company operating as a single reportable segment, refer to the statement of financial condition for segment assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.

## (17) Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

FASB ASC 460, Guarantees, requires the Company to disclose information about its obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. FASB ASC 460 defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity price, an index or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability, or equity security of a guaranteed party.

This guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others.

In the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies and guarantees certain providers, such as clearing and custody agents, trustees, and administrators, against specified potential losses in connection with their acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company or its affiliates.

The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated statement of financial condition for these indemnifications.

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and may occasionally indemnify them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. The Company may also provide standard indemnifications to some counterparties to protect them in the event additional taxes are owed or payments are withheld, due either to a change in or adverse application of certain tax laws. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated statement of financial condition for these indemnifications.

The Company had unfunded commitments related to investments in limited partnership funds of \$6,944 as of December 31, 2025.

## Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time the Company is subject to litigations and arbitrations. As of December 31, 2025 the Company is not involved in any significant litigations or arbitrations.

## (18) Off-Balance Sheet and Credit Risk

The Company's customer financing and securities settlement activities require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing sources. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the fair value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure. In addition, the Company establishes credit limits for such activities and monitors compliance on a daily basis. See Note 6 for further off-balance sheet disclosures.

{30}------------------------------------------------

## (18) Off-Balance Sheet and Credit Risk (continued)

Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments (whether on or off-balance sheet) exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet obligations to be similarly affected by economic, industry or geographic factors.

The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities, including securities borrowing and lending in which counterparties primarily include large broker-dealers and other financial institutions. The Company may from time to time be exposed to concentrated credit risk at the industry or country level, potentially exposing the Company to a single market or political event or correlated set of events.

To the extent allowable, the Company has entered into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk of financial instruments, which has the potential to reduce the entity's maximum amount of loss due to credit risk. Master netting arrangements have been entered into as part of our resale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrow and lending agreements.

The Company monitors the market value of collateral for securities borrowed and loaned as well as resale and repurchase agreements on a daily basis; obtaining or refunding additional collateral as necessary to ensure such transactions are adequately collateralized.

Generally, all of the Company's counterparty exposure is secured, and when the Company's exposure is secured, the realizable market value of the collateral may have declined by the time the Company exercises rights against that collateral. This risk may be particularly acute if the Company is required to sell the collateral into an illiquid or temporarily impaired market. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to credit risk.

The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument and the value of collateral that may be held by the Company, if any. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit worthiness of each of its active counterparties.

If a significant individual counterparty defaults on an obligation to the Company, the Company could incur financial losses that materially adversely affect the Company's businesses, operating results and financial position.

At December 31, 2025, the Company's credit exposure associated with its resale and repurchase agreements activities was spread amongst over approximately 80 counterparties and the amount of loss to be incurred if all the counterparties failed to perform to the terms of their contracts would not exceed approximately \$1 which represents the net exposure of collateral advanced/received vs. market value of securities received/advanced.

At December 31, 2025, the Company's credit exposure associated with its securities borrowed/loaned activities was spread amongst 105 counterparties and the amount of loss to be incurred if all the counterparties failed to perform to the terms of their contracts would not exceed approximately \$17,122

which represents the net exposure of collateral advanced/received vs. market value of securities received/advanced.

In addition, at December 31, 2025, approximately 94% of the Company's cash balance is held by BMO Harris Bank, N.A., 2% is held by the Lakeside Bank, 2% is held by Woori America Bank and 2% is held by various bank institutions.

## (19) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 2, 2026, the date the consolidated statement of financial condition was issued. On January 26, 2026 the Company entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement with Mirae Asset Gaia Fund III, LP and had a capital commitment in the amount of \$16,679 of which \$15,262 was called and paid on January 27, 2026.
