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

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc.

# *Opinion on the Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2026, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026, 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 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 of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit 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.

# *Supplemental Information*

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 Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

New York, New York May 29, 2026

### **Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

### i) Basis of Accounting and the Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (''U.S. GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

### ii) **Cash**

Cash consists of un-invested cash balances used in the daily operations of the business that are primarily maintained with one major bank.

### iii) **Securities Borrowing and Lending**

The Company conducts securities borrowing and lending activities with MBL in order to fund securities owned assets and to source securities for delivery to counterparties for securities sold, not yet purchased liabilities. Under these transactions, the Company receives or posts collateral in connection with securities loaned or borrowed transactions. These transactions are collateralized by cash or securities. Under this agreement, the Company is permitted to sell or re-pledge the securities received. Securities borrowed or loaned are recorded based on the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. There were no non-cash collateral transactions outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned and delivers or obtains additional collateral as appropriate. As of March 31, 2026, there was no allowance provision required for the cash collateral advanced. Refer to Note 2 (x) for additional information on current expected credit losses.

### **iv) Fees Receivable, net**

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

### **Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

### **v) Revenue Recognition**

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. It requires the identification of discrete performance obligations within a customer contract and an associated transaction price is allocated to these obligations. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of these performance obligations, which occurs when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer.

Revenue earned by the Company from its contracts with customers primarily consists of the following categories:

### a) Investment Banking, Advisory Services, and Underwriting

The Company earns revenue through its role as advisor on corporate transactions as well as through its role as manager and underwriter of equity and debt issuances. The revenue from these arrangements is recognized at a point in time, and when it has been established that the customer has received the benefit of the service.

For advisory services, revenues are recognized when services for the transactions are rendered in accordance with the terms of the underlying contracts; this is typically at the time of closing the transaction. Revenues are presented gross of permissible related expenses and transaction expenses are deferred until the related revenue is recognized.

Management of capital raisings and underwriting of debt or equity capital raisings are each considered distinct performance obligations that are satisfied at the point in time of the underwriting and selling of the securities. Underwriting revenues are presented gross of permissible related expenses where the Company is the principal underwriter and net of expenses where the Company is not the principal underwriter. Transaction expenses are deferred until the related revenue is recognized.

### b) Commissions

The Company executes and clears U.S. securities transactions and records commissions for these services over the year on a trade date basis. 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. Commissions are recognized on a gross basis within the Statement of Operations on trade date as the Company acts as principal with its customers. Expenses incurred related to commissions are also recorded based on trade date. The Company recognized commissions net of research credits of \$9,151,634.

- c) Service fees consists of fee income related to the following:
	- (i) The Company acts as agent to execute and clear all foreign securities transactions through affiliated brokerdealers. The Company has a formal agreement with the affiliated broker-dealers whereby the affiliates receive all commissions on security transactions and the Company receives revenue based on an agreed-upon transfer pricing methodology as consideration for exclusively utilizing the execution and settlement services of the affiliates; and
	- (ii) The Company provides services to certain group affiliate entities.
		- (a) The Company has formal agreements to share expenses it incurs for the services provided to such affiliates and receives an allocation of the service fee based on an agreed-upon transfer pricing methodology.
		- (b) The Company is allocated a proportion of revenues for certain transactions based on an agreed-upon transfer pricing methodology.

The Company applies the above revenue recognition policies to internal fee arrangements and fees are recognized as per the agreed sharing arrangements. Service fees are recorded on an accrual basis and transfer pricing methodologies are reviewed periodically and updated to reflect any changes to the business or the transactions.

### d) Distribution fees

Distribution fees are received from Macquarie managed funds to reimburse the Company for certain costs such as marketing, selling fund interest, and providing sales related support to investors. The Company's performance obligations primarily involve providing distribution-related services. Distribution fees are recorded as revenue in the period when the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue recognition occurs either monthly or quarterly, depending on the terms of the underlying agreement, and is based on the contracted rate.

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

### **Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

### **vi) Other Income**

Other income consists of all other revenues for the Company other than Investment banking and advisory services, Underwriting, Commissions, Distribution fees, Net trading, Interest income and Service fees.

#### **vii) Interest Income and Interest Expense**

Interest income and interest expense are accrued in accordance with contractual rates. Interest income is earned on deposits with banks and clearing brokers, and balances with related parties in accordance with MGL transfer pricing policies. Interest expense is incurred on balances with related parties in accordance with MGL transfer pricing policies.

### **viii) Translation of Foreign Currencies**

The Company's financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at fiscal year-end rates of exchange, while income statement items are translated at the spot exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions are included within Net trading on the Statement of Operations.

#### **ix) Share Based Compensation**

The Company participates in the share-based compensation plan of MGL, which include awards granted to employees under share acquisition plans, including those delivered through the Macquarie Employee Retained Equity Plan ("MEREP"). The Company accounts for these plans in accordance with the Stock Compensation topic ("Topic 718") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC"). The MGL consolidated group recognizes an expense and a corresponding increase in equity in the case of equity settled awards granted to employees. The awards are measured at the grant dates based on their fair value and using the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Performance hurdles attached to Performance Share Units ("PSU") under the MEREP are not taken into account when determining the fair value of the PSUs at the grant date. Instead, these vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Each PSU also incorporates a discounted cash flow method using certain key assumptions relating to interest rate to maturity, expected vesting dates of PSU and dividend yield. This amount is recognized as an expense within Employee service fees over the respective vesting periods; the increase to equity is recognized within Additional paidin capital within the Statement of Changes in Stockholder's Equity.

### **x) Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL")**

The Company measures CECL in accordance with the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 326-20, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("Topic 326"): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". CECL is based on changes in the financial asset's underlying credit risk and includes forward looking or macroeconomic information. The calculation requires judgement and the choice of inputs, estimates and assumptions. Outcomes within the next financial period that are different from management's assumptions and estimates could result in changes to the timing and amount of credit losses to be recognized. Once determined uncollectible, aged balances are written off. The allowances for credit losses are presented in the statement of financial condition as a deduction to the gross carrying amount of the related asset.

The majority of the financial assets recognized at amortized cost have a short duration, are receivable on demand or collateralized with cash or securities, and as a result, the Company considers the credit risk to be minimal.

### **xi) Income Taxes**

The Company is a member of the Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. ("MHUSA") tax consolidated group ("consolidated group") for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a member of various unitary and combined filing groups for state and local income tax purposes. The Company allocates income taxes pursuant to a formal tax sharing agreement with MHUSA, using a modified separate return method, specifically a separate return method with benefits-for-loss. Where the consolidated group does not file a unitary or combined state and local income tax return, the Company must file on a standalone basis if it is deemed to have a presence in that state. The amount of current and deferred taxes payable or receivable is recognized as of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates.

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

### **Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

### **xi) Income Taxes (continued)**

Deferred income taxes are recorded for the effects of temporary differences between the reported assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Condition and the tax basis of those assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company follows accounting principles related to ASC 7 40-10, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. In this regard, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation process, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax expense (benefit) to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of expense (benefit) that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement, which could result in the Company recording a tax liability.

#### **xii) Segment Reporting**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including principal transactions, agency transactions, investment banking and advisory services, underwriting transactions and project finance transactions. The Company has identified its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 14), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or return capital to its parent. In terms of significant expenses, the CFO monitors employee service fees, brokerage fees, distribution costs, administrative fees, communication and information services, occupancy and equipment, professional fees and promotional fees while assessing the performance of the Company as presented in the statement of operations. 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 significant revenue from related parties. Refer to Note 11 for additional information on related party transactions.

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

### **Note 3. Cash Segregated Under Federal Regulations**

Cash has been segregated in a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers in accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "SEC Act"). As at March 31, 2026, cash of \$13,000,000 has been segregated.

### **Note 4. Receivable from and Payable to Broker-Dealers and Clearing Organizations**

The Company's receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations include amounts receivable from unsettled trades, amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver and cash deposits. The Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled on a periodic basis, and because of this periodic settlement the amount of unsettled credit exposure is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties. Refer to Note 2 (x) for additional information on current expected credit losses on the receivables.

Amounts receivable from and payable to broker-dealers and clearing organizations as at March 31, 2026, consist of the following:

|                                                   | Receivable           | Payable    |
|---------------------------------------------------|----------------------|------------|
| Securities failed to deliver/receive              | \$<br>6,916,509 \$   | 3,224,345  |
| Receivable from/payable to clearing organizations | 84,972,390           | 11,463,482 |
|                                                   | \$<br>91 ,888,899 \$ | 14,687,827 |

### **Note 5. Receivable from and Payable to Customers**

Receivable from and payable to customers includes dollar amounts with U.S. clients for transactions that were not settled prior to or at settlement date. In addition, the Company's affiliates effect transactions in securities with or for U.S. investors through the Company. These affiliates are exempt from registration requirements under SEC Rule 15a-6. In order for affiliates to maintain their exemption, the Company, among other things, is responsible for receiving, delivering, and safeguarding funds and securities in connection with the transactions on behalf of U.S. investors in compliance with Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC Act. As such, the Company records receivables from and payables to customers for transactions past settlement date that were introduced to these affiliates. Refer to Note 2 (x) for additional information on current expected credit losses on the receivables.

### **Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company is required to report the fair value of financial instruments, as defined. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. The recognition of "block discounts" for large holdings of unrestricted financial instruments where quoted prices are readily and regularly available in an active market is prohibited. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

### **Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)**

The following table summarizes financial instruments at fair value, within the fair value hierarchy levels, as of March 31, 2026:

### **Note 8. Deferred Profit Share**

The Company's compensation arrangement includes provisions for the retention and deferral of payment of a portion of an employee's bonus above certain amounts. For Non-Executive Directors of the Company, the deferred amount is paid to the employee 113rd in the second, third, and fourth years following the year of grant, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company.

For Executive Directors of the Company, the deferred amount vests 113rd in the third, fourth and fifth year following the year of grant except for 2023 and prior grants to Designated Executive Directors/Executive Committee members for whom it vest 115th from third to seventh year following the year of grant, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company. Such deferred amount is invested by MGL in Macquarie Funds and may be invested in MGL shares. The notional income of the portfolio is paid as additional compensation each year at the discretion of MGL's Executive Committee.

The vested portion of employee service fee expense for the year ended March 31, 2026 was \$3,277,247 while \$2,582,183 of the current year bonus was deferred to future periods.

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to the deferred profit share at March 31, 2026 was \$5,964,156. Amounts deferred and subject to vesting at March 31, 2026 will be recorded as employee service fee expense as follows:

### Years Ended March 31,

| 2027                | \$<br>2,592,286 |
|---------------------|-----------------|
| 2028                | 1,651,521       |

### Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company participates in the Parent's 401 (k) plan. Contributions to the 401 (k) plan are matched by the Company, up to specific limits. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% plus 50% of the next 2% of the employee's pre-tax contributions with a maximum contribution of 4% up to the matching limit of \$14,400 (based on the maximum IRS compensation limit of \$360,000). A vesting schedule applies to all matched contributions based on the number of years of service with the Company. Substantially all employees are eligible to participate in the plan. The Company's 401 (k) plan contributions were \$2,327,164 for the year ended March 31, 2026.

{17}------------------------------------------------

### **Note 10. Employee Share Based Compensation Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan**

The Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan ("MEREP") is a flexible plan structure that offers different types of equity grants. Participation in the MEREP is currently provided to Associate Directors and above. The plan includes a decrease in the portion of the staff profit share paid in cash, an increase in the portion delivered as equity and an increase in the proportion of deferred remuneration. In most cases, the equity grants are in the form of restricted share units ("RSU"), deferred share units ("DSU") and performance share units ("PSU"). A RSU is a beneficial interest in an MGL ordinary share held on behalf of a MEREP participant by the plan trustee (Trustee). The participant is entitled to receive dividends on the share and direct the trustee how to exercise voting rights in the share. The participant also has the right to request the release of the share from the MEREP Trust, subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of the MEREP. A DSU represents a right to receive on exercise of the DSU either a MGL share held in the Trust or a newly issued MGL share (as determined by MGL in its absolute discretion) for no cash payment, subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of the MEREP. A MEREP participant holding a DSU has no right or interest in any share until the DSU is exercised. MGL may issue shares to the Trustee or direct the Trustee to acquire shares on-market, or via a share acquisition arrangement for potential future allocations to holders of DSUs. All PSUs currently on issue are structured as DSUs with performance hurdles related to MGL's performance that must be met before the underlying share or cash equivalent (as the case may be) will be delivered. PSU holders have no right to dividend equivalent payments before the PSUs vest.

The MEREP awards will vest over periods from three to five years for most Executive Directors including Executive Committee Members and two to four years for other staff, including staff promoted to a Director level. For grants awarded until 2023, MEREP awards vest over three to seven years for Executive Committee Member and Designated Executive Directors. PSU awards will vest after four years for members of the Executive Committee. Upon vesting, the shares issued will be fully paid ordinary Macquarie Group Limited shares (symbol: MQG, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange).

For Retained Profit Share awards representing 2025 retention, the allocation price was the weighted average price of the shares acquired for the 2025 purchase period, which was 19 May 2025 to 19 June 2025. That price was calculated to be AUD 209.72 (USO 144.52) per share.

PSUs will only be released or become exercisable subject to pre-vest assessment and upon the achievement of performance hurdles. Only members of the MGL and MBL Executive Committees are eligible to receive PSUs. Prevest assessments are applicable for awards to be granted in relation to 2024 and following years. For the PSUs allocated to Executive Committee members, two performance hurdles have been determined and each will apply individually to 50% of the total number of PSUs awarded.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the MEREP amortization expenses charged was \$32,570,157 and the equity provided was treated as additional paid-in capital. Unrecognized, non-vested costs as of March 31, 2026 were \$69,085,162. Amounts deferred and subject to vesting at March 31, 2026 will be recorded as employee service fee expense as follows:

## **Note 11. Related Party Transactions (continued)**

Administrative fees are charged to the Company for support services provided by other Macquarie group entities.

In addition, for the year ended March 31, 2026, the Parent and affiliates charged \$240,183,705 in Employee service fees to the Company.

### **Note 12. Risk, Commitments, and Contingencies**

The Company acts as agent to execute and clear all of its transactions in non-US securities through its non-US affiliated broker-dealers and, in some cases, through third-party broker-dealers that are licensed in their local jurisdictions. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements between the Company and its clearing brokers, the clearing brokers have the right to charge the Company for losses that result from a counterparty's failure to fulfill its obligations. As the right to charge the Company has no maximum amount and is applied to all trades executed through the clearing brokers, the Company believes there is no maximum amount assignable to this right. As the liability is not estimable at March 31, 2026, the Company did not record a liability with regard to this obligation. The Company has the ability to pursue collection from or performance of the counterparty. The Company's policy is to monitor the credit standing of the clearing brokers and all counterparties with which it conducts business.

The Company is a member of a U.S. clearinghouse and as a member may be required to pay a proportionate share of the financial obligations of another member should that member default on its obligations. The Company's potential obligation is not quantifiable and may exceed the value of cash and securities held at the clearinghouse. As the likelihood of this is remote, no liability has been recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote and has not recorded an associated liability as of March 31, 2026.

The Company may be exposed to credit risk regarding its cash and receivables, which are primarily receivable from financial institutions, including investment managers, banks and broker-dealers. Refer to Note 2 (x) for additional information on current expected credit losses on the receivables.

### **Note 13. Legal and Regulatory Matters**

The Company is regularly involved in judicial, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising from the Company's businesses. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has not identified any such matters which present loss contingencies which are both reasonably probable and estimable.

### **Note 14. Regulatory Requirements**

As a broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1 ") under the SEC Act that requires the maintenance of minimum net capital in accordance with a formula set forth therein.

The Company calculates net capital under the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1 which requires the Company to maintain net capital, as defined, of the greater of 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 under the SEC Act, or \$250,000. At March 31, 2026, the Company had net capital of \$156,299,832 which was \$155,470,011 in excess of the required minimum net capital.

The Company is also subject to Rule 15c3-3 under the SEC Act, which requires the Company to maintain cash or qualified securities in a segregated reserve account for the exclusive benefit of customers. In accordance with Rule 15c3-3, the Company had cash and securities segregated for the exclusive benefit of customers of \$13,000,000 at March 31, 2026.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not have assets in the proprietary accounts of its introducing brokers ("PAB"). As such, no cash or securities were required to be held in the reserve bank account at March 31, 2026 for this purpose under Rule 15c3-3.

The Company is also registered as an introducing broker with the NFA and is subject to the net capital requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). At March 31, 2026, the Company's net capital as disclosed above, exceeded the CFTC minimum net capital requirement of \$45,000 by \$156,254,832.

{21}------------------------------------------------

### **Note 15. Income Taxes**

The Company is a member of the Parent's tax consolidated group ("consolidated group") for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a member of several unitary and combined groups for state and local income tax purposes. Federal and state income taxes as well as benefits for federal and state net operating losses are allocated based on a formal tax sharing agreement between the Company and the Parent. All balances are settled with the Parent.

The consolidated federal and combined state and local tax returns are subject to audits by relevant taxing authorities. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, there are no income tax examinations with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), all tax years through March 31, 2022, are closed.

Minnesota is currently examining the combined filing, inclusive of the Company, for fiscal years ended 2022-2024.

The current and deferred portions of the income tax expense (benefit) included in the Statement of Operations are as follows:

|                 | Year Ended March 31, 2026 |                                 |            |             |
|-----------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------|------------|-------------|
|                 |                           | Current<br>Deferred             |            | Total       |
| Federal         | \$                        | (6,435,177) \$                  | 699,998 \$ | (5,735,179) |
| State and Local |                           | ------------------<br>(785,929) | 141,417    | (644,512)   |
|                 | \$                        | (7,221,106) \$                  | 841,415 \$ | (6,379,691) |

The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2026 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 % due to the following:

| Income taxes at the statutory rate                      | \$<br>(5,297,326) | 21.0 % |
|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|--------|
| State and local taxes, net of federal benefit           | (509,164)         | 2.0%   |
| Non-Deductible items (M&E, Penalties)                   | 186,393           | -0.7 % |
| FY25 Return To Provision impact on Non-Deductible items | (296,793)         | 1.2 %  |
| Other                                                   | (462,801)         | 1.8%   |
| Total income tax benefit                                | \$<br>(6,379,691) | 25.3%  |

State and local income taxes reflect income taxes imposed by U.S. states and local jurisdictions, net of the related federal income tax benefit. In accordance with ASC 7 40 10 50 12B, the Company provides a qualitative description of the state and local jurisdictions that comprise the majority of the impact in this category. For the period presented, New York, New York City, Illinois and Kansas represented the most significant state tax jurisdictions, primarily driven by the concentration of taxable income and the applicable statutory tax rates in those states. Other states individually did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate.

Deferred taxes result from temporary differences between tax laws and financial accounting standards. Temporary differences primarily include intangible amortization expenses and intercompany prepaid services expenses that are not currently realizable for tax purposes. These result in a net deferred tax liability of \$547,588 which is included on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Income Taxes Paid (Refund)

|            | March 31, 2026 |        |  |
|------------|----------------|--------|--|
| Federal    | \$             | (185)  |  |
| State      |                | 37,458 |  |
| Total paid | \$             | 37,273 |  |

{22}------------------------------------------------

### **Note 15. Income Taxes (continued)**

Income taxes paid (net of refunds) exceeded 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds) in the following jurisdictions:

| State          | March 31, 2026 |  |  |
|----------------|----------------|--|--|
| Iowa           | \$<br>27,493   |  |  |
| North Carolina | \$<br>9,965    |  |  |

The Company uses the separate company method of tax allocation as modified for benefits-for-loss. This approach modifies the "separate return method", a method that allocates current and deferred taxes to members of the group by applying Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, to each member as if it were a separate taxpayer, so that net operating losses (or other current or deferred tax attributes) are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the subsidiary when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated group even if the subsidiary would not otherwise have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis.

### **Valuation allowance**

The Company assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets primarily based on the future earnings potential and the reversal of taxable temporary differences when recognizing deferred assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that they will realize their deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company does not have a valuation allowance.

### **Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes**

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by prescribing a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities for the year ended March 31, 2026. Interest expenses related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are accrued as interest expense when paid. Penalties, if any, are recognized as a component of Administration fees.

The Company did not record any liability relating to potential exposure for tax, interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the year ended March 31, 2026.

### **Note 16. Subsequent Events**

There were no material events subsequent to March 31, 2026 and up until the authorization of the financial statements for issue, that have not been disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements.
