### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors CODA Markets, Inc.

### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CODA Markets, Inc. (the Company), as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, changes stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 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 statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 statements. 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}------------------------------------------------

### Supplemental Information

The supplementary information contained in Schedules I, II and III (the Supplemental Information) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The Supplemental Information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the Supplemental Information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the Supplemental Information. In forming our opinion on the Supplemental Information, we evaluated whether the Supplemental Information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplementary information contained in Schedules I, II and III is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022.

#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

CODA Markets, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Connecticut on October 22, 1993. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. (\*Apex Fintech"). On February 14, 2022, Apex Fintech converted from a limited liability company to a C-corporation in the State of Delaware and changed its name to Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. Apex Fintech is majority owned by PEAK6 APX Holdings LLC ("PEAK6 Holdings became the majority owner of Apex Fintech on February 28, 2022, when the ownership in Apex Fintech was transferred to PEAK6 Holdings from the previous majority owner, PEAK6 Investments LLC.

The Company operates as a broker-dealer and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory ("FINRA"). The Company's principal business activity is providing an alternative trading system to its customers that includes execution and routing services.

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

These financial statements have been prepared in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its significant estimates, including, but not limited to, the useful lives of property and equipment, the estimate of credit losses and provision for income taxes. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates. Management belized in preparing these financial statements are reasonable.

#### Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying financial statements to maintain consistency between periods presented. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported equity.

#### Cash

The Company has cash on deposit at a financial institution and at times during the year, cash balances may exceed insured limits

The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances.

#### Revenue Recognition

The Company recognized revenue under the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price to the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation.

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

The following provides detailed information on the Company's revenue from contracts with customers:

#### Commissions and payment for order flow revenue

The Company earns commissions that are generated through upfront commissions or other nonrelated selling agreements. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis at a point in time as the securities transactions occur. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

Payment for order flow is generated from execution partners who accept trades for securities transactions. The Company believes its performance obligation is met when trade orders sent to the execution partner are filled and therefore revenue is recognized on a trade-date basis. For the year ended December 31, 2022, payment for order flow revenue of \$13,813,501 is included Commissions and payment for order flow revenue in the Statement of Operations.

#### Reimbursable Fees

Regulatory fees charged to subscribers are included in Reimbursable fees in the Statement of Operations. The Company records the revenue when the transactions occur. The Company charges certain regulatory fees to every subscriber's sell side trade. The Company computes regulatory fees at the prevailing rate published by the SEC, rounding this fee up to the nearest penny. The Company pays its clearing firm for regulatory fees incurred on these transactions. If the fees charged by the clearing firm are less than the fees charged to subscribers, the Company may recognize income.

#### Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is engaged in various brokerage activities in which the counterparties primarily include broker/dealers, banks, other financial institutions and the Company's own customers. In the event the 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.

#### Receivables from and Payables to Brokers, Correspondents and Clearing Organizations

Receivables include amounts due from organizations relating to open transactions, non-customer receivables, unsettled securities activities, deposits with clearing organizations and Omnibus related balances due from other broker dealers. Payables include amounts payable relating to open transactions, non-customer payables, and amounts related to unsettled securities activities.

The Company conducts business with other brokers and various clearing organizations. Receivables from brokers refers to brokers' proprietary and omnibus activity along with correspondent brokers' clients' activity.

The allowance for credit lossed on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments caried at amortized cost, including fees receivable utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with fees receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. The Company recorded a \$24,200 allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2022.

#### Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and consist primarily of computer equipment and, fixtures. Deprecation is recorded using the straight-line basis and estimated useful service lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Depreciation are recorded in the Statement of Operations in Occupancy, deprevation. Property and equipment are reviewed annually for impairment, with no such impairment loss recorded in the current year.

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

#### Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. These assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived assets are tested for imparment annually or whenever indicators of imparment exist. The Company has concluded that no impairment or impairment events have occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022. Intangible assets are comprised of a patent called "Procedural Order Processing" and filed with the patent office in 2008, having an estimated useful life of 15 years.

#### Lease Accounting

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease for accounting purposes at the inception of the agreement and accounts for the lease as either a financing lease, depending on the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which allows the Company to lease and non-lease components of a contract as a single leasing arrangement. The Company records right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease obligations for its operating leases, which are initially recognized based on the discounted future lease payments over the lease.

A rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable is used in arriving at the present value of lease payments. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") based on information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. In determining the appropriate IBR, the Company considers including, but not limited to, the lease term and the currency in which the arrangement is denominated.

Lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company does not separate lease components from non-lease components across all lease categories. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in measurent of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized using the method over the term of the agreement beginning on the lease commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets are subject to evaluation for impairment or disposal on a basis consistent with other long-lived assets.

The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. We recognize lease cost associated with our short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Currently, the Company only has obligations as a lessee with initial non-cancelable terms of 12 months or less

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no finance leases.

#### Share-Based Compensation

The Company's employees participate in Apex Fintech's stock-based compensation plan. The Company accounts for sharebased compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes under ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and the recognition of compensation expenses over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the awards, known as the requisite service period (usually, the vesting period). The grant date is utilized for restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") and stock options. Time-based and graded vesting service awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the employees' requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. To date, Apex Fintech has issued share-based awards with only service-based vesting conditions. All share-based awards are classified as equity, as they may only be settled in shares of the Apex Fintech's common stock. Apex Fintech allocates share-based compense to the Company for those receiving the equity awards that are considered employees of the Company.

Subsequent to the vesting period, earned stock-settled stock units (equity classified) are paid to the holder in shares of Apex Fintech common stock, provided the holder is still employed with the Company as of the vesting date.

#### Income Tax

The Company files a consolidated U.S. income tax return with Apex Fintech on a calendar year basis and combined or separate returns for state tax purposes where required. Current and deferred tax expense is allocated on a

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

modified "separate return" method the Company is assumed to file a separate return with the tax authority, thereby reporting the Company's taxable income or loss and paying the applicable tax to or receiving the appropriate refund from Apex Fintech. The Company follows a "benefits-for-loss" approach to assess deferred tax realizability. Under this approach, deferred tax assets are characterized as realizable by the Company when those assets are realized by the consolidated group, even if the Company would not otherwise have realized them on a stand-alone basis. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with Apex Fintech, any utilization by Apex Fintech of the Company's tax losses, including any carryovers thereof, will either reduce the current tax liability or be remitted to the Company.

Deferred tax asses and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. Uncertain tax positions are recognized if they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the unrecognized tax benefits occur on a regular basis due to tax return examinations and settlements that are concluded, statutes of limitations that expire, and court decisions that are issued that interpret tax law. There are positions involving taxability in certain tax jurisdictions and timing of certain tax deductions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions will significantly decrease within twelve months because the tax positions may be settled in cash or otherwise resolved with taxing authorities. When applicable, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

#### Recently Accounting Pronouncements - Issued but not yet Adopted

The Company's management has evaluated all of the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of the Statement of Financial Condition and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronomeements will have a material effect on the Company's financial position.

#### Stock Options

On July 1, 2022, the Apex Fintech granted 446,200 stock options to certain of the Company's employees that vest over a 4-year period. Options are expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant. These options are subject to graded vesting, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, so long as the employee remains continuously employed by the Company. The maximum term of these stock options is ten years. The fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

|                                                 | 2022      |
|-------------------------------------------------|-----------|
| Risk-free interest rate                         | 2.08 %    |
| Dividend yield                                  | 0.0 %     |
| Expected stock price volatility                 | 30.0 %    |
| Expected life of stock options (in years)       | 6.25      |
| Fair value of stock options granted (per share) | ಳ<br>2.21 |

The expected life of options represents the weighted average period of time that the equity awards are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based on United States Treasures with a maturity equal to the expected life of the stock options, and if unavailable, the rate was interpolated using the nearest two known time period. The expected stock price volatility assumption was based on an analysis of the observed implied volatility of a set of guideline companies.

The following table provides a summary of the activity for stock options awarded to the Company's employees for the year ended December 31, 2022:

|                                     | Number of options |        | Weighted-Average<br>Exercise Price | Weighted-Average<br>Remaining<br>Contractual Terms<br>(Years) |   | Weighted-Average<br>Grant Date Fair<br>Value |

### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders CODA Markets, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (a) CODA Markets, Inc. identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3(k) under which CODA Markets, Inc. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3: Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) (the exemption provisions) and (b) CODA Markets, Inc. stated that CODA Markets, Inc. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. CODA Markets, Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions 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 CODA Markets, Inc.'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 our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3.
