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

#### **Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations:**

Heritage Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a licensed broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company provides consulting and advisory services related to the buying and selling of commercial businesses, mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financing and other financial and strategic planning.

### **Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:**

### **Basis of Presentation**

The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Company conform to the predominant practices in the broker-dealer industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") contained in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

### **Use of Estimates:**

The preparation of the financial statements **in** conformity with the **U.S.** generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents:**

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has no cash equivalent.

#### **Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses:**

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC Topic 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had provision for credit losses of \$4,000.

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

#### **Equipment and Depreciation:**

Office equipment, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon disposal of an item of property and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its net carrying amount is included in the statement of operations.

#### **Income Taxes:**

The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes "ASC 740". ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial losses and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for both the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company elected S corporation status under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company incurs no income tax obligations, and the financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. Corporate earnings and losses are included in the personal income tax returns of the stockholders and are taxed based upon their personal tax status and returns.

The Company, a Florida corporation, files Federal income tax returns which are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of generally three years after filing. Management continually monitors and evaluates expiring statutes and limitations, audits, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings.

#### **Advertising:**

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

#### **Leases:**

In addition to the base rent, real estate leases typically contain provIsIons for common-area maintenance and other similar services, which are considered non-lease components for accounting purposes. For real estate leases, we apply a practical expedient to include any non-lease components in calculating the right-of-use **(ROU)** asset and lease liabilities. For all other types of leases, non-lease components are excluded from our **ROU** assets and lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.

The Company monitors changes in circumstances that alter the timing or amount of future lease payments that may result in the remeasurement of a lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the **ROU** asset. **ROU** assets for operating leases are periodically reviewed for impairment losses under ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, to determine whether a ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize.

#### **Revenue Recognition:**

Revenue is earned from advisory services related to the buying and selling of commercial businesses, mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financing and other financial and strategic planning.

All revenues of the Company are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, which is recognized when (i) a contract with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction

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

price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation, which is satisfied over time or at a point in time. The Company will recognize revenue for any retainers, which are non-refundable, and consulting contracts as the services to which the retainer applies are performed. Revenue from merger & acquisition contracts will be recognized when there is a successful sale of the client's business.

The majority of revenue arrangements consist of performance obligations to provide strategic consulting and merger & acquisition services in return for compensation. Based on the Company's evaluation process and review of contracts with customers, the timing and amount of revenue recognized based on FASB ASC Topic 606 is consistent with the Company's revenue recognition policy under previous guidance and is recognized at a point in time.

#### **Segment Reporting:**

The Company applies Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07"), which requires incremental disclosures on reportable segments.

The guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operation decision maker ("CODM") and (2) are included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The standard also requires companies to disclose the title and position of the individual (or the name of the committee) identified as the CODM and allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are regularly used to assess performance and to allocate resources. The guidance is applicable to companies with a single reportable segment.

#### **Fair Value Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities:**

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value estimates are measured within the fair value hierarchy. The value hierarchy establishes measurements with level one (highest priority), level two or level three (lowest priority). The three levels of value hierarchy applicable under the guidance are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities (e.g., publicly traded securities).

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the term of the asset or liability (e.g., pricing models using marketobservable interest rates for similar debt securities).

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that are both significant to fair value measurement and unobservable (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis using management assumptions for illiquid assets).

At December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, related party payables, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

#### **Note 3** - **Net Capital Requirements:**

Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1 ), which requires the Company's ongoing maintenance of the minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness-to-net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate daily.

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

Accordingly, the Company is **in** compliance with its net capital requirements at December **31, 2025.** 

### **Note 4 - Equipment:**

Equipment summary:

|                                                         | Useful<br>life<br>(years) |                             |
|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------|
| Office and computer equipment<br>Furniture and fixtures | 3-5<br>5-7                | \$51,949<br>7 481<br>59,430 |
| Less accumulated depreciation                           |                           | 57,398                      |
|                                                         |                           | \$ 2 032                    |

Depreciation expense totaled \$3,759 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

### **Note 5 - Related Party Transactions:**

### **Expense Sharing and Professional Services Agreement with Business Valuation, Inc. ("BVI")**

The Company has an Expense Sharing and Professional Service Agreement BVI, a corporation owned by the Company's majority stockholder and one other Company stockholder, in which each company shares rent and other occupancy costs, as well as payroll costs for the administrative personnel who perform services for both companies. The Company also incurs certain expenses related to various BVI analysts who provide subcontractor services.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid BVI \$872,607 for shared occupancy, administrative, and subcontractor services, which were recorded as part of operating expense. At December 31, 2025 the Company owed BVI \$31,547 for operating and other shared expenses, which is included in related party payables in the accompany Statement of Financial Condition.

Additionally, \$12,726 was due from BVI as of December 31, 2025 and is included in related party receivables. This receivable represents amounts due from subcontractor and other shared expenses incurred on behalf of BVI.

### **Expense Sharing Agreement with Heritage Capital, LLC ("HC")**

The Company also has an Expense Sharing Agreement with HC, an entity with identical ownership as the Company. HC operates as a business broker and real estate broker for smaller transactions

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

that do not benefit from FINRA rules and published guidance. Shared operating expenses between the Company and HC are allocated monthly based on relative client activity.

No amounts were owed to HC at the end of the year.

At December 31, 2025, \$37,266 was due from HC and is included in related party receivables in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition, representing amounts due for subcontractor and other shared expenses incurred on behalf of HC.

#### **Expense Sharing and Professional Services Agreement with Steel Beach Advisors, LLC ("SBA")**

The Company also maintains an Expense Sharing and Professional Services Agreement with SBA, and entity with identical ownership and the Company. SBA operates as a business broker and real estate broker for smaller transactions not subject to FINRA rules and published guidance. Periodically, invoices from outside services providers may include amounts attributable to SBA on invoices issued to the Company or vice versa. When this occurs, the companies reconcile the amounts and settle the balances through intercompany invoicing.

#### **Other Related Parties Transactions**

As of December 31, 2025, related party receivables totaled \$64,489, representing amounts due from related parties for subcontractor and other shared expenses (including \$12,726 from BVI and \$37,266 from HC, as detailed above).

As of December 31, 2025, the amount due to stockholders was \$8,744 and is included in accounts payable - related parties in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

#### **Note 6** - **Concentration of Credit Risk:**

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances that exceed FDIC limits by \$223,604; However, the Company utilizes an Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) that spreads cash between the custodian bank and other partner banks. Insured cash sweep accounts earn interest while maximizing protection for funds beyond the typical FDIC limit of \$250,000. Generally,

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

the Company does not require collateral on its customer receivables since it does not anticipate future nonperformance by its customers.

Receivables due from consulting clients with two largest balances represented 70.27% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2025.

There are no receivables due from **M&A** clients at December 31, 2025.

#### **Note 7 - Leases:**

The Company recognizes at lease commencement a ROU asset and lease liability based on the present value of the future lease payment over the lease term in accordance with Financial Account Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842. The Company has elected to not recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for the leases with terms of 12 months or less. Our leases do not explicitly state the discount rate implicit in the lease, we use an incremental borrowing rate (4.5%) based on the rate the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payment on the commencement date to calculate the present value of the future payments.

Leases for office space make up 100% of the Company's lease obligations.

Effective November 1, 2021, the Company entered into a non-cancellable lease agreement for its new office location in Jacksonville, Florida. The 77-month lease includes scheduled annual rent increases, as defined in the agreement, over the term of the lease expiring March 31, 2028 (6.3 years), and there is an option to renew. The Company subleases a percentage of its Jacksonville, FL space to BVI based on square footage usage. The Company also allocates a portion of the rent expense to HC base on client load during any given month.

As of December 31, 2025 the Company's operating lease ROU asset and lease liability were \$478,045 and \$554,754, respectively, as presented in the Statement of Financial Condition.

Effective September 1, 2023 the Company entered into a non-cancellable lease agreement to sublease its new office location in Savannah, Georgia. The lease expired August 31, 2025 with an option to renew for one year. The Company presents this sublease income as net to rent expense in the Statement of Operations

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

Future estimated minimum lease commitments required under the operating lease are as follows:

# **Note 8- Segment Reporting:**

The Company is a licensed broker-dealer operating as a capital acquisition broker and is engaged in a single line of business. The Company has identified the president (Alex Kellison) and the chief executive officer (Bill Sorenson), who make up the Company's management Committee, to function as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM').

The CODM uses revenue and expense trends along with net income to evaluate the operating results of the Company. To maintain capital adequacy, when making management decisions such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 5).

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 Company's segment revenue and expenses are aligned with the content of the Company's statement of income and the segment assets are the same as those reported on the Company's statement of financial condition. Additionally, the accounting policies used to measure the operating results of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

### **Note 9 - Liquidity:**

The Company's operations are subject to several factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition, including but not limited to, the results of its consulting and advisory services and the availability of mergers and acquisitions transactions.

The Company has evaluated all events that occur after the statement of financial condition date through the date when financial statements were issued, March 2, 2026, to determine if they must be reported. The Management of the Company determined that there were no additional reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.
