The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

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

## 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

InspereX LLC (the "Company"), a limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of InspereX Holdings LLC ("the Parent"), is a member broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and a member of the Securities Investor Protection ("SIPC").

The Company is primarily engaged in origination, distribution, underwriting and education for fixed income market linked and ETF products through a tech-enabled, multi-channel broad distribution platform. The company serves a variety of markets such as, but not limited to, U.S. Agencies, Corporate Debt, Municipal Bonds, Brokered Certificates of Deposit, Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities, Preferred Stock, Closed End Funds, and Syndicate. The Company also enters into repurchase and resale agreements to finance securities activities.

## 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements 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.

Securities Owned and Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased — Securities owned consist of securities underwritten by the Company or purchased in the secondary market. Securities sold, not yet purchased, consist of securities sold in the secondary market. Both securities owned and securities sold are reported on a trade date basis. They are reported in the Statement of Financial Condition at fair value based on quoted market prices, prices for similar securities, or prices based on models using observable inputs. Pricing inputs include US Treasury rates, credit spreads, and observable trades from both the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine developed by FINRA and dealers.

Derivative Financial Instruments — Derivative financial instruments ("Derivatives") used for trading purposes, including economic hedges of trading instruments, are carried at fair value. Fair values for exchangetraded derivatives, principally futures, are based on quoted market prices.

Realized gains or losses on Derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Operations with trading revenues. Fair values of exchange-traded futures are recorded in payable to broker dealers on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Cash — Cash includes cash on hand. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash accounts which exceeded federally insured limits and are therefore not subject to FDIC insurance.

Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) —The Company individually assessed the current expected credit loss for assets in scope of ASU 2016-13 below.

## Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell

The Company participates in short-term resale agreements collateralized by government and agency securities. These transactions are reported as collateralized financing and are carried at cost with accrued interest within the Statement of Financial Condition. See "Resale and Repurchase Agreements" for more information.

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

To estimate expected credit losses on the resale agreements, the Company applied the collateral maintenance practical expedient by comparing the amortized cost basis of the resale agreements with the fair value of collateral at the reporting date. The counterparties are all financial institutions that the Company considers to be reputable and reliable, and the Company reasonably expects the counterparties will be able to continually replenish collateral securing the financial asset and does not expect the fair value of collateral to fall below the value of the resale agreements. The fair value of collateral, plus accrued interest, was approximately 100% of the related assets as of December 31, 2025, and the expected credit loss was immaterial.

## Receivable from Broker Dealers

The Company's receivable from broker dealers includes amounts receivable from unsettled trades, including amounts related to futures and options on futures contracts, and cash deposits. The Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled daily between the clearing organization and the Company. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed to the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties and has not experienced a default. As of December 31, 2025, the expected credit loss was immaterial.

Risks — Credit risk represents the potential financial loss that the Company would incur if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities with other financial institutions. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the financial instrument. The Company periodically reviews the credit standing of each counterparty.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from the underwriting of debt instruments of corporate and agency issuers. One of the issuers and counterparties that the Company engages with is a "Unit holder" defined as a shareholder or investor of the Parent. The Company performs underwriting services for the Unit holder and the Unit holder's affiliates and from time-to-time may hold investments in financial instruments issued by the Unit holder or the Unit holder's affiliates.

Resale and Repurchase Agreements — Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements or reverse repos) or sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements or repos) are accounted for as collateralized financings. It is the policy of the Company to obtain possession of collateral with a fair value approximately equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under reverse repurchase agreements. Collateral is valued daily, and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return collateral pledged when appropriate. The Company may also be required by counterparties to deposit additional collateral on a daily basis on sales of securities under agreements to repurchase.

Income Taxes — The Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. ASC No. 740, Income Taxes, requires the Company to determine whether a tax position has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority, which could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net income. The Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025, and is not aware of any tax positions that will significantly change during the next twelve months. The tax information for the years ending December 31, 2022, through December 31, 2025 remain open to examination by federal authorities under the statute of limitations. The years open to examination by state and other local government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitations is generally three to four years from the date the tax return is filed.

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

## 3. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two operating segments: Fixed Income and Wealth Management Services. These operating segments are determined based on the internal structure and financial performance evaluation process. The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker (CODM), who uses Adjusted Earnings for each operating segment to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, and to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, at the reporting segment level to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company has a single reporting segment for external reporting purposes. Both operating segments are engaged in business as a securities broker-dealer facilitating the origination, distribution, and underwriting of fixed income and market linked products through the Company's tech enabled platform to a variety of institutional customers. Given the commonalities between the segments' product offerings, customer base, and method of distribution, the Company has aggregated the two operating segments into one reportable segment for external reporting purposes pursuant to ASC 280-10-50-11.

## 4. LEASES

The Parent has several operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company determines if an operating lease exists at the inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are modified. Certain lease expenses are allocated to the Company. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition. All other operating leases are recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition, with right of use assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments. The lease liability and right of use asset are initially recognized on the commencement date. The lease liability is based on the net present value of the future lease payments. Net present value is calculated using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is based on the lease liability and any deferred rent balances accumulated prior to the commencement date. The lease liability and right of use asset will subsequently be remeasured when an existing contract is modified, or any impairment is recognized. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The weighted-average remaining lease term was 4.3 years as of December 31, 2025, and the weighted-average discount rate was 4.6%.

The following table illustrates the maturities of lease liabilities related to operating leases:

The Company held no Level 3 securities during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels during the year ended December 31, 2025.

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

- Level 1 —Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgement as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily available.
- Level 2 Other significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
- Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) that are supported by little or no market activity The Company does not have any financial instruments utilizing Level 3 inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for securities measured at fair value, based on the Statement of Financial Condition classification. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the investment.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Company's security positions as of December 31, 2025, were as follows:

- Preferred equity securities and futures Based on quoted market prices in active markets.
- Corporate debt, U.S. Treasuries and Agency securities Based on quoted market prices, prices for similar securities, or prices based on models using observable inputs. Pricing inputs include US Treasury rates, credit spreads, and observable trades from both the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine developed by FINRA and dealers.
- Mortgage-backed securities Based on quoted market prices, prices for similar securities, or prices based on models using observable inputs. Pricing inputs include U.S. Treasury rates, To-Be-Announced mortgage pool prices, credit spreads, and prepayment forecasts.
- Municipal securities Based on quoted market prices based on bid and ask prices, observable trades, or quoted market prices based on bid and ask prices for securities of comparable quality, maturity, and interest rate.
- Brokered certificates of deposit Based on quoted market prices, prices for similar securities, or prices based on models using observable inputs. Pricing inputs include U.S. Treasury rates, and credit spreads.

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

GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair values. Certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the Statement of Financial Condition are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These instruments include cash, securities purchased under agreements to sell, short-term receivables and accrued interest receivables, securities sold under agreements to repurchase borrowings, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

## 6. MANAGEMENT AND LICENSING FEES

The Company has entered into an intercompany expense agreement (the "Agreement") with the Parent and affiliates, whereby the Parent and affiliates provides the Company with administrative, technology and management services and office facilities in exchange for a management fee determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement was amended on September 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2025, \$1,536,299 was unpaid and is included in payable to parent on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Under the same Agreement, the Company provides an affiliate broker dealer with administrative and management services in exchange for a management fee determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The affiliate broker dealer is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. Revenue related to this agreement is recognized monthly, once all performance obligations are complete. As of December 31, 2025, \$4,000 was unpaid and is included in receivable from affiliate on the Statement of Financial Condition.

The Company has entered into technology platform licensing agreements (the "License Agreements") with an affiliate company. The affiliate provides the Company access to the firm's proprietary trading and sales platforms. These services are provided in exchange for a license fee determined in accordance with the terms of the License Agreements. As of December 31, 2025, \$285,841 was unpaid and is included in Payable to Affiliate on the Statement of Financial Condition.

## 7. OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company enters into various transactions involving derivatives and other off-balance sheet financial instruments. These financial instruments include futures, which are used to manage market risks. Market risk is substantially dependent upon the value of the underlying financial instruments and is affected by market forces such as volatility and changes in interest rates. Derivative transactions are entered into in an attempt to hedge other positions or transactions.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery or purchase of securities at a specified future date at a specified price or yield. Futures contracts are executed on an exchange. The credit risk of exchange-traded financial instruments is reduced by the regulatory requirements of the individual exchanges. Cash settlement on futures contracts is made on a daily basis for market movements. The clearing organization acts as the counterparty to specific transactions and bears the risk of delivery to and from counterparties to specific positions. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had an average monthly notional amount of \$11,292,308 of derivative contracts outstanding. On December 31, 2025, the Company had a notional amount of \$15,500,000 outstanding in derivative contracts, composed of 155 long interest rate futures contracts. Futures are recorded at fair value, which represents the difference between the contract price at the trade date and the closing price on the valuation date as reported on the exchange on which the futures contracts are traded. Futures contracts are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The maximum potential payout for certain derivative contracts, such as written interest rate caps and written foreign currency options, cannot be estimated as increases in interest rates in the future could possibly be unlimited. Therefore, in order to provide information regarding the maximum potential amount of future

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

payments that the Company could be required to make under certain derivative contracts, the notional amount of the contracts has been disclosed.

The Company records all derivative contracts at fair value. The Company does not monitor its risk exposure to derivative contracts based on derivative notional amounts but rather on a fair value basis. Aggregate market risk limits have been established, and market risk measures are routinely monitored against these limits. The Company believes that the notional amounts of the derivative contracts generally overstate its exposure.

The Company has sold securities that it does not currently own and is, therefore, obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The Company has recorded these obligations in the Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 at the fair values of the related securities and will incur a loss if the fair value of the securities increases subsequent to December 31, 2025. Substantially all of the Company's securities owned, at fair value at December 31, 2025 have been pledged as margin with the Company's clearing broker dealer.

 The Company finances a significant portion of its securities transactions. Financing risks include the exposure the Company has to margin requirements in place with clearing brokers and counterparties, and the risk that ongoing financing arrangements may not be available in the future at rates which are desirable to the Company. Changes in margin requirements, including the related changes in fair value of investments, may result in the Company having to pledge additional margin or to sell securities to meet required margin. These activities may take place when market conditions are not optimal and may result in a realized loss on securities transactions and additional margin requirements with clearing brokers and counterparties.

## 8. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

The Company, as a registered broker-dealer, is subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and computes its net capital requirements under the basic method, which requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital equivalent to the greater of \$100,000 or 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as these terms are defined.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$27,612,892, which was \$26,314,888 in excess of its required net capital of \$1,298,004. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.71 to 1.

As an introducing broker-dealer, the Company does not take possession or control of cash or securities for customers and, therefore, claims exemption from the possession or control and reserve requirements based on Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
