## **NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

Thoroughbred Financial Services, LLC (the "Company") was formed effective June 24, 1999 to operate as a broker-dealer on an introducing firm basis in accordance with the rules and regulations set forth by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company also acts as an investment advisor and sells insurance products. It operates as a limited liability company ("LLC"), and its members have limited personal liability for the obligations or debts of the entity. The term of the LLC shall continue until June 24, 2039, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement.

## **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Company conform to the practices in the brokerdealer industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **Revenue Recognition**

Commission income and related expenses from customers' securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Insurance commissions are recognized at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable. The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. Fee arrangements for investment advisory services are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received typically monthly and are recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period.

| Revenue from contracts with customers       |                    |
|---------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| Brokerage commissions and fees              | \$ 2,970,439       |
| Insurance products                          | 1,357,606          |
| Investment advisory fees                    | 2<br>4<br>,434,299 |
| Total revenue from contracts with customers | \$ 28,762,344      |

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"). ASC Topic 606 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 those goods or services.

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

## **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

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.

## **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in financial institutions at balances which, at times may exceed federally insured limits of \$250,000. At December 31, 2025, the Company's uninsured cash balances total \$85,405.

#### **Commissions Receivable**

Commissions receivable are stated net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of fees utilizing the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") framework. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with receivables due from client with which it conducts business are that the client will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Management monitors the credit risk of clients and currently there is not a foreseeable expectation of an event or change which could result in a fee receivable being unpaid based on individual facts and circumstances. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company has no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.

#### **Property and Equipment**

Expenditures for property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using straight line and accelerated methods.

#### **Lease Accounting**

The lease standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use "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 on the income statement. Upon implementation of the lease standard, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition

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

## **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification of those leases in place.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The operating lease agreements are primarily for office space and are included within operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our variable lease payments consist of non-lease services related to the lease. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives, if any. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

## **Income Taxes**

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the personal returns of the members and taxed depending on their personal tax situations. The financial statements do not reflect a provision for federal income taxes.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification guidance clarifying the accounting for the recording of uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the financial statements only after determining a more-likelythan-not probability that the uncertain tax position will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has no accrued tax penalties or interest in the accompanying financial statements.

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

## **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

#### **Subsequent Events**

The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 24, 2026 when these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the statement of financial position date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the financial statements.

## **NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT**

Property and equipment at December 31 consists of the following:

|                                | 2025         |
|--------------------------------|--------------|
| Furniture and fixtures         | \$<br>77,520 |
| Computer equipment             | 11,911       |
|                                | 89,431       |
| Less: Accumulated depreciation | (82,109)     |
|                                | \$<br>7,322  |

Depreciation expense on property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$1,824.

### **NOTE 4 – LEASE RIGHT OF USE**

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office spaces and an equipment lease with initial noncancelable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified these leases as operating leases. The Company's leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payment due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of the Company's leases, variable payments. The Company's office space leases require it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of the building's property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred. The leases expire at varying dates through March 31, 2029.

Amounts reported in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 were as follows: Operating Leases: Operating lease Right-of-Use assets \$410,217 Operating lease liabilities \$437,964

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

## **NOTE 4 – LEASE RIGHT OF USE (Continued)**

## **NOTE 5 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC 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, not to exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$2,915,685 which was \$2,784,400 in excess of its required net capital of \$131,285.

## **NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company earns management fees from a related party in exchange for the use of office space, personnel and administrative services. Management fees income for the year ending December 31, 2025 totaled \$750,000. The Company also earns commissions on investments of an affiliated entity. Commission income recognized under this arrangement totaled \$1,221,386 for the year ending December 31, 2025.

## **NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN**

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan (the "Plan") for its employees. The Plan covers all employees who have completed minimum service requirements. The Plan provides for employer safe harbor contributions and discretionary profit sharing contributions. Contributions to the Plan by the Company totaled \$333,696 for the year ending December 31, 2025.

## **NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES**

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, guarantees, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of the assessment and /or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. There were no matters existing that required the Company to record or disclose such a liability in the financial statements.

## **NOTE 9 – SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Company follows Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The guidance primarily requires all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment to disclose additional information about a reportable segment's expenses and enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

The Company operates in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of underwriting and financial advisory services. Refer to primary financial statements for further information as the single operating segment is the entire entity of the Company. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating 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 5), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such

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

#### **NOTE 9 – SEGMENT REPORTING (Continued)**

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 the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

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

To the Members Thoroughbred Financial Services, LLC Brentwood, Tennessee

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) Thoroughbred Financial Services, LLC (the "Company"), identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. Section15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(k)(2)(i) (the "exemption provision") and (2) the Company stated the Company met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provision and its statements.

The Company is also filing this Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. Section 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. In addition, the Company 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 subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company'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 the Company's compliance with the exemption provision. 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 provision set forth in paragraph(s) (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions. 17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a 5, and re
