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

To the Board of Directors Hantz Financial Services, Inc.

#### *Opinion on the Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Hantz Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and 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 December 31, 2025 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) (the "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. 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 accompanying Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

■ **NOTES TO FINANCIAL**

### **1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### **Nature of Business**

*Hantz Financial Services, Inc.* (the "Company") is a securities broker-dealer that introduces transactions and accounts on a fully disclosed basis and does not carry customer accounts. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("'FINRA"). The Company's revenues are primarily generated through the sale of financial products and investment advisory services, including financial planning and investment portfolio management services. The Company's customers are primarily individuals and small businesses located predominantly in the states of Michigan and Ohio. The Company is also a licensed mortgage broker.

The Company is a Michigan Corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of *Hantz* **Group,** *Inc.*  (the "Parent").

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits in banks. The Company holds deposits in major financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company monitors its concentration and credit risks and has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

### **Commission and Marketing Support Receivables**

Commission and marketing support receivables consist of amounts due from product sponsors related to the sales of their financial products by the Company. An allowance for credit losses is established for amounts expected to be uncollectible. The Company calculates the allowance using an expected loss model that considers the Company's actual historical loss rates, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Uncollectible amounts are applied against the allowance in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognized when received. As of January 1, 2025, commission and marketing support receivables were \$7,003,905 and \$3,883,032, respectively.

### **Revenue Recognition**

#### **Commissions**

Sales commission revenue is generated at the point of sale of financial products. The Company views these financial transactions as a single performance obligation to the product sponsor. The Company is responsible for the execution of the clients' purchases and sales and maintains relationships with the product sponsors. Commission revenue is recorded on a trade-date basis.

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

### ■ **NOTES TO FINANCIAL**

Trail service commissions are generated over time as earned on trail-eligible investments. Trail service commissions are primarily earned on annuity, mutual fund and insurance products in the years after the initial sale based on the average value of the investment for the duration of the client's holding period. The fee is based on an agreed upon percentage at the time of purchase. Trail service commission revenue is recognized over time as earned because it is variably constrained due to market volatility and the client's investment holding period.

The following table represents sales-based and trailing commission revenue disaggregated by product category.

| Sales-based               |              |  |
|---------------------------|--------------|--|
| Annuities                 | S 50,214,967 |  |
| Insurance                 | 18,136,409   |  |
| Other                     | 1,518,497    |  |
| Total sales-based revenue | S 69,869,873 |  |
| Trailing                  |              |  |
| Annuitites                | S 5,101,432  |  |
| Other                     | 831,572      |  |
| Total trailing revenue    | S 5,933,004  |  |
| Total commission revenue  | S 75,802,877 |  |

### **Advisory Fees**

The Company is licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). Advisory revenue includes fees charged to clients for providing ongoing investment advice and administrative services, model portfolios, investment strategy, portfolio market reports and analysis. Fees are billed in advance to the client, on a monthly basis, based on assets under management. The company serves as the Investment Advisor and provides investment management and related services to various private equity funds. The company charges a fee for this service.

### **Platform Fees**

Advisory clients pay a platform fee for account maintenance and administration services, typically to the custodian. In place of the custodian, the Company is providing these services and receiving a fee for these services. The Platform fees are charged based on assets under management. Fees are billed in advance to the client, on a monthly basis and adjusted accordingly in the following month based on customer contributions and withdrawals. The company also charges a technology fee.

### **Marketing Support**

Marketing revenue is generated for providing marketing services and sales force education and training. The amount of the marketing fee can be based on a stated percentage of new purchases and/or assets under management. Marketing revenue is recorded over time. This revenue includes variable consideration and is constrained until the date that the fees are determinable.

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

■ **NOTES TO FINANCIAL**

#### **Mortgage Revenue**

The Company assists clients in developing a debt strategy for their purchase or refinance of real estate. The Company acts as a mortgage broker. It originates loan applications, it does not hold or service mortgages, they are sold on the secondary market. As a mortgage broker, commissions and fees are earned at the point in time when the mortgage closes.

#### **Plan Processing Fees**

Financial plan processing revenue is received from an affiliated company for plan processing services which include reviewing the analysis, data inputs and assumptions. Revenue is recorded at the point in time when the service is completed.

#### **Financial Planning Fees**

The Company earns fees for providing advice through a holistic financial planning approach by a team of financial specialists to provide clients with flexibility and control over their financial situation. Financial planning fees are recognized monthly in accordance with the terms of the client agreements. If an annual payment is received in advance, the company has a contract asset and liability. This is recorded as an unearned revenue liability and a receivable for employee compensation, which are insignificant at December 31, 2025 and throughout the year then ended. The company has no other contract assets or liabilities.

#### **Concentrations**

The Company·s operating philosophy relies extensively, albeit not exclusively, on the use of a limited number of preferred investment and insurance product providers. The Company receives marketing support revenue based on the volume traded through the investment and insurance providers. In 2025, 96% of commission revenue was from eight product providers and 94% of marketing support revenue was from five product providers.

#### Income **Taxes**

The Company is included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns filed by the Parent. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the parent is treated as an 5 Corporation and the Company is treated as a qualified subchapter 5 subsidiary. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's financial statements. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits ("UTB") (e.g., tax deductions, exclusions, or credits claimed or expected to be claimed) to significantly increase in the next twelve months. The Company does not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to UTBs at December 31, 2025, and it is not aware of any claims for such amounts by federal or state income tax authorities on the Parent company that would require recording an allocation of such on the Company's financial statements.

#### **Segment Reporting**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including introducing transactions on a fully disclosed basis, investment advisory and financial planning services and originating mortgages as a mortgage broker. The Company has identified its Chairman of the Board as the chief operating

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

### ■ **NOTES TO FINANCIAL**

decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 3), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

### **2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

Under an expense sharing agreement, the Parent provides accounting, administrative and managerial services to the Company.

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

To the Board of Directors Hantz Financial Services, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which Hantz Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") stated that the Company claimed an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (the "exemption provision") and the Company stated that the Company met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company also stated that it is filing the Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. paragraph 240.17a-5 are limited to effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company and the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscription on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

Management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions, 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3. 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 Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and pursuant to Footnote 7 4 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5.
