{5}------------------------------------------------

#### NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Cambridge International Securities, LLC, (the "Company"), is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company primarily serves institutional clients by providing trading and brokerage services.

In the normal course of its business, the Company enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss due to changes in market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (credit risk) exceeds the amounts recorded for the transaction.

The Company's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Company has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each broker-dealer, clearing organization, customer and/or other counterparty with which it conducts business.

Pursuant to the clearance agreement, the clearing broker performs the clearing and depository operations for the Company's proprietary transactions. On December 31, 2023, the receivable from clearing broker reflected on the statement of financial condition substantially consisted of cash due from this clearing broker.

### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") as determined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

### Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for

{6}------------------------------------------------

## NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

## Revenue Recognition (continued)

those goods or services. The guidance 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, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Significant judgements are required in the application of the five-step model when determining whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. The revenue recognition guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, interest income and expense, leasing and insurance contracts.

Riskless Principal Transactions - The Company earns substantially all its revenue from trading debt instruments on a riskless principal basis. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a buy and sell trade is executed, as the Company has no further performance obligation subsequent.

Placement Fees – The Company occasionally earns fee income for advising clients. Such fee income is recognized only when the Company has no further performance obligations.

Allowance for Credit Losses - The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured on 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 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 did not have accounts receivable or a reserve for credit losses at December 31, 2023.

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

## NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of cash in banks, primarily held at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The maximum insurable limit on cash deposits is \$250,000. Cash in excess of the insurance limit is \$ úûüñ÷÷úåas of December 31, 2023.

#### Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and related revenue and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.

## Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels explained below:

Level 1 – Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to and are not adjusted. Since measurements are based solely on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of Level 1 instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment by the Company.

Level 2 – Fair value measurements based on inputs that are observable, both directly and indirectly, for instruments in markets that are not active (including those that are "thinly traded") or have restrictions on their resale. Level 2 inputs

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that are in active markets, "as if" conversions for constrained instruments, discounts for trading volume constraints and others such as interest rates and yield curves that are obtainable at common intervals.

Level 3 – Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable Level 3 inputs include commonly used pricing models, the Company's internally developed data and assumptions for valuation methodology and other information used by the Company to assist in exercising judgment for instruments that fall into this level.

### Fair Value Measurements

The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors. This includes the type of instrument, whether the instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. 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 by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the instrument is reported in the lowest level that has a significant input. Even when inputs are not observable, the Company's own assumptions and methodologies are established to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. In addition, during periods of market dislocation, the observability of inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation techniques – Equity securities: The Company values equity securities owned that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the period.

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

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Valuation techniques – Mortgage-backed securities: The Company generally accepts pricing as provided by the clearing broker on month end statements. These prices are only overridden if the Company believes there is a material error or a material difference from other available pricing sources.

The Company's net assets recorded at fair value are categorized below based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820 at December 31, 2020. See Note 2 for a definition and discussion of the Company's policies regarding this hierarchy.

| Securities<br>Owned                  |          | Level 1     |    | Level 2      | Level<br>3   |    | Total             |  |
|--------------------------------------|----------|-------------|----|--------------|--------------|----|-------------------|--|
| Debt<br>Securities<br>Other Security | \$<br>\$ | -<br>52,326 | \$ | 138,291<br>- | \$<br>-<br>- | \$ | 138,291<br>52,236 |  |
| Total                                | \$       | 55,326      | \$ | 138,291      | \$<br>-      | \$ | 190,617           |  |
| % of Total                           |          | 27.45%      |    | 72.55%       | -            |    | 100%              |  |

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The fair value of cash is based upon the bank balance at December 31, 2023 adjusted by any unclear transactions. The fair value of accounts receivable and accounts payable is estimated by management to approximate their carrying value on December 31, 2023.

Publicly Traded Securities – The Company values investments in securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange at their last sales price as of the date of determination. To the extent securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Otherwise, they are categorized as level 2.

Mortgage-Backed Securities – In general, are valued based on price or spread data obtained from external parties such as vendors or brokers. If position-specific

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

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

external price data was not observable, the fair value determination may require benchmarking to similar instruments and/or analyzing expected credit losses, default, and recovery rates. In evaluating the fair value of each security, the Company considers security collateral-specific attributes including payment priority, credit enhancement levels, type of collateral, delinquency rates, and loss severity. These securities are included in level 2.

#### NOTE 3. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

The Company is invested in a London-based affiliate named Cambridge International UK LLP. The Company owns 50 % of the affiliate indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cambridge International Securities LTD. The Company pays certain expenses on behalf of its affiliate and reduces the carrying value of the investment as the expenses are paid.

The Company accounts for this investment on the equity method. The balance of the investment at December 31 2023 was \$145,866 versus \$338,328 at prior year end, for a decrease during the year of \$192,462. This decrease includes cash transfers between the Company and the Affiliate, and revenues and expenses earned by the affiliate and included in the accounts in the net amount of \$34,988. In addition, the other comprehensive income for the year of \$14, is attributable to foreign exchange gain on the affiliate's activity.

#### NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

The Company is a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provides that any income or loss is passed through to the members for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has not provided federal or state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-thannot threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. There are no uncertain tax positions in the Company's tax filings, and there are no current tax audits pending. The Company tax returns are open for audit for a period of three years from the date of filings.

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

#### NOTE 5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (and the rule of the 'applicable' exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1). On December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$1,772,900, which was \$1,522,900 in excess of its required net capital of \$250,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.0805 to 1.

#### NOTE 6. RULE 15C3-3

The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under paragraph (k)(2)(ii) in that the Company carries no accounts, does not hold funds or securities for or owe money or securities to customers and effectuates all financial transactions on behalf of customers on a fully disclosed basis.

The Company limits its business activities pursuant to Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34- 70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. Accordingly, there are no items to report under the requirements of this Rule.

The Company's membership agreement also cites an exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under paragraph (k)(2)(i). This is in respect of the Company's permitted chaperoning activity and explains why the Company's minimum net capital requirement is \$250,000. The Company had no chaperoning activity in 2023.

#### NOTE 7. GUARANTEES

The Company has issued no guarantees at December 31, 2023 or during the year then ended.

### NOTE 8. PENSION PLAN

The Company maintains a non-contributory simplified employee pension plan covering all full-time employees who qualify as to age and length of service. It is the Company's policy to make contributions to the plans as provided annually by the board of directors. Contributions made by the Company for 2023 were \$258,800.

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

## NOTE 9. LEASE COMMITMENTS

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases, (ASC Topic 842) by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office space, with initial noncancellable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified this lease as an operating lease. This lease expired in January 2024; subsequently the Company occupies the space on a month to month lease.

Lease operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2023, were \$ 99,759.

Amounts reported in balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, were as follows:

Operating lease ROU assets \$6,058

Operating lease liabilities \$6,058

Maturities of lease liabilities under operating leases as December 31, 2023, are as follows:

| Years Ending December 31 | Amount      |
|--------------------------|-------------|
| 2024                     | \$<br>6,300 |
| Total                    | \$<br>6,300 |
