# **NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### **Organization and Nature of Business**

JBS Liberty Securities, Inc. (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is located in Kannapolis, North Carolina, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Synergy Holding Group, Inc.

The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from receiving overrides and ticket rebates from brokers we introduce to StoneX, which is another Broker Dealer providing brokerage services and electronic trading facilities to its customers who are predominantly middle and upper income individuals and small and middle market businesses and the Company also receives fees from Service agreements with other 3rd party companies which we provide compliance and oversight services to said third party companies. The Company maintains no cash or securities for its customers nor does it carry or ciear transactions for its customers. The Company clears all of its customer transactions through other broker dealers on a fully disclosed basis.

### **Basis of Presentation**

The books of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.

### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

### **Securities Transactions**

Securities transactions, commission revenue and commission expenses are recorded on a tradedate basis. Unrealized gains and losses on securities transactions, if any, are included in riskless principal transactions in the statement of operations. Marketable securities are recorded at market value. There were no securities held during or as of the year ended December 31, 2025.

### **Receivables from Broker-Dealers and Contract Fee**

Receivables from broker-dealers are reported at the amount management expects to collect on balances outstanding at year-end. Receivables from contract fees are reported at the amount management charges for being licensed with the broker-dealer. Management closely monitors outstanding balances and writes off balances when amounts are deemed uncollectible. There were no losses during 2025 and no allowance was recognized. The receivables for contract fees was \$14,808 as of December 31, 2024 and \$15,787 as of December 31, 2025.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), that supersedes prior revenue recognition guidance, including most industryspecific guidance. ASU 2014-09, as amended, requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance

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

## **NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the

performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, as amended, did not result in a material change in the timing of revenue recognition or a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from adopting the standard. The Company has no obligations for returns or refunds and no warranties are offered.

Commission revenue is received from mutual funds, variable life insurance and variable annuities. Override commission revenue is received on representatives that are introduced to a partner broker/dealer. There is also an amount of a ticket rebate that is received on the ticket charges of these representatives that are introduced. Commission revenue, override commission and ticket rebate are recognized on a trade date basis after performance obligations have been met. Payment is received the following month and there are no significant or special payment terms and no significant financing component.

Service fees are charged on a monthly basis for being sponsorship of registered representatives who provide certain third party administrative services. Service fee revenue is recognized in arrears at month end after services have been provided and performance obligations have been met. Payment is received after invoicing and there are no significant or special payment terms and no significant financing component. Amounts due to the Company from Service fees are included in Contract Fees Receivable.

The following table represents revenue by major source:

| Revenue from commission overrides | 351,933       |
|-----------------------------------|---------------|
| Revenue from retail commissions   | 66,966        |
| Ticket rebates                    | 55,030        |
| Contract fees                     | 84,225        |
| Total Revenue                     | \$<br>558,154 |

### **Single Reportable Segment**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including principal transactions, agency transactions, and investment advisory business. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominately in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit or loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company derived 80 percent of its total revenues from a single external customer in 2025.

# **NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

### **Income Taxes**

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if there is uncertainty regarding their realization.

# **Unrecognized Tax Benefit**

The Company accounts for income taxes, whereby deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from assets and liabilities whose bases are different for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred taxes related primarily to temporary differences in depreciation calculated for book and tax purposes, allowance for doubtful accounts, and contingent liabilities. The deferred tax asset represents the future tax benefit of those differences.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.

Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Company's tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Company or its stockholder will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. The income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed.

### **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 the 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.

# **NOTE 2- INCOME TAXES**

The Company's provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The primary differences result from providing for state income taxes and from deducting certain expenses for financial statement purposes but not for federal income tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No valuation

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

# **NOTE 2- INCOME TAXES (Continued)**

allowance was established as of December 31, 2025, as full realization of the future deductions is anticipated.

A reconciliation between the income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory rate of 21 % to income before income taxes follows for the years ended December 31:

|                               | 2025         |
|-------------------------------|--------------|
| Tax expense at statutory rate | 13,104       |
| State income tax              | 1,589        |
| Other                         | 0            |
|                               | \$<br>14,693 |

The components of the provision for income taxes expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

|                               | 2025                      |  |
|-------------------------------|---------------------------|--|
| Current:<br>Federal           | \$<br>0                   |  |
| State                         | 0                         |  |
|                               | 0                         |  |
| Deferred:<br>Federal<br>State | 13,104<br>1,589<br>14,693 |  |
|                               | \$<br>14,693              |  |

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

|                                | 2025          |
|--------------------------------|---------------|
| Deferred income tax liability: |               |
| State tax loss carryforward    | 565           |
| Federal income tax loss        | (7,288)       |
| Deferred income tax liability  | \$<br>(6,723) |

Changes in tax laws and rates could affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

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

# **NOTE 2- INCOME TAXES (Continued)**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net taxable income of \$34,706 and state net operating loss carryforwards of \$23,823 that can be deducted against future taxable income. These tax carryforward amounts begin to expire in 2035.

# **NOTE 3- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company reimburses a related party for management fees and a portion of its operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid approximately \$41,200 for management fees and \$29,156 for other operating expenses.

The Company allocates certain expenses between itself and its affiliates. During 2025, the Company reevaluated its allocation for rent and payroll expenses. These amounts are allocated between companies based upon the level of activity at each company. As a result, the Company increased the percentage of expense allocated to the Company in order to better match expenses with the revenue stream.

# **NOTE 4- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK**

The Company does not carry accounts for customers or perform custodial functions related to customers' securities. The Company introduces all of its customer transactions, which are not reflected in these financial statements, to its clearing broker, who maintains the customer accounts and clears the customer transactions. Additionally, this clearing broker provides the clearing and depository operations for the Company's proprietary securities transactions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily in its contract fees receivable. Contract fees receivable amounted to \$15,787 at December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, one customer accounted for eighty-six percent of total contract fees receivable.

The Company's policy is to maintain its cash balances in reputable financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which as of December 31, 2025 provided \$250,000 of insurance coverage on deposit accounts. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

# **NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS**

The Company, in the course of its normal operations, is subject to investigations, claims and lawsuits. In management's opinion, any such outstanding matters of which the Company has knowledge have been reflected in the financial statements or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

# **NOTE 6- NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital not exceed 15 to 1.

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

# **NOTE 6- NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continuted)**

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$208,329, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirements by \$203,329. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .1 to 1 at December 31, 2025.

# **NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring through the dale of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm report. The Company feels that no material events have occurred through that dale that would require recording or disclosure in the Company's financial statements.

The Members of JBS Liberty Securities, Inc.:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule I 5c3-3 Exemption Report pmsuant to SEC Rule **l** ?a-5, in which (I) JBS Liberty Securities, Inc. (the "Company") did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240. **l** 5c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. **l** 7a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to acting as a mutual fund retailer on an application-way basis directly with the issuer or underwriter, acting as a broker selling variable life insurance or annuities on an application-way basis to retail customers, selling variable annuities on a wholesale basis to other member firms, acting as a municipal securities broker, offering private placements of securities, and collecting service fees, ticket rebates, and override commissions for introducing representatives to a partner broker/dealer. In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.1 ?a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on om review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34- 70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. I 7a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
