The Company has adopted a calendar year. The Company, located in Berkeley, CA, is a broker and dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Starlight Funding Investments, LLC, -dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, § 240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). Starlight Funding Investments, LLC files an exemption report because our company provides private placements of debt and equity securities of corporation and other entities, during the report period Starlight Funding Investments, LLC (a) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold and or otherwise owe funds or securities for to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of rule 15c2-4; (b) did not carry account of or for customers; and (c) did not carry PAB account (as defined in rule 15c3-3. ## Significant Accounting Policies: The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers as cash all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. #### Accounts Receivable Recognitions of Bad Debt The Corporation considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. {11}------------------------------------------------ # Starlight Funding Investments, LLC Notes for Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Revenue Recognition - Recognition of Revenue and Representative Compensation from Customer Retainers > emails with customer confirmation, or other mutually agreed documents, shall be accounted for by Starlight as follows: - If Starlight services are performed for a defined task, then received payments shall be recognized when specific milestones are met or if milestones are not agreed upon, then when the task is completed. - If Starlight services are performed for ongoing services and the retainer is paid monthly, then received payments for those services shall be recognized at the end of that month or when received whichever comes later. If a lump sum payment is received for multiple months, then the retainer shall be allocated of that month. - If a payment is for the current period (i.e. a month or quarter, etc.), then revenue and representative compensation may be recognized as earned on a daily, an operating Principal (Alan or Murray). This is to recognize that the earnings are daily, but the recognition is usually less frequent to facilitate accounting. - When Starlight recognizes revenue from a client, then the corresponding compensation to the representative shall be recognized. In accordance with ASC 606 5-step model, we put in place, starting in 2023, a program of revenue recognition that identified service deliverables or time-based services and recognizes fees for those are earned only after the services are both completed and payment is received. Customer Retainer Revenue as described in engagement agreements, exchanged emails with customer confirmation, or other mutually agreed documents, shall be accounted for by Starlight as follows: - If Starlight services are performed for a defined task, then received payments shall be recognized when specific milestones are met or if milestones are not agreed upon, then when the task is completed. - If Starlight services are performed for ongoing services and the retainer is paid monthly, then received payments for those services shall be recognized at the end of that month or when received whichever comes later. If a lump sum payment is received for multiple {12}------------------------------------------------ allocation shall be recognized at the end of that month. - If a payment is for a current period (i.e. a month or quarter, etc.), then revenue and representative compensation may be recognized as earned on a daily, weekly, monthly is to recognize that the earnings are daily, but the recognition is usually less frequent to facilitate accounting. - When Starlight recognizes revenue from a client, then the corresponding compensation to the representative shall be recognized. # Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the 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. ## Fair Value of Financial Instruments assets and liability amounts reported in the statement of financial condition are short-term in nature except for the NuView and NeoTx investments in the Assets section of the Statement of Financial Condition, which are a fair value of \$0. The fair value of \$0 is based on using the U.S. GAAP (ASC 820), Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because both assets are private companies, with no recent investment, and, in Starlight Funding ## Income Taxes The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. In lieu of income taxes, the Company passes 100% of its taxable income and expenses to its sole member. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in these financial statements. ## Concentration The company specializes in mergers and acquisitions, and private capital formations. ## Subsequent Events subsequent to December 31, 2025, through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted on {13}------------------------------------------------ ## Starlight Funding Investments, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 ## Note 2 - Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Rule 15c3-1 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, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$6,155.00, which was \$1,155.00 in excess of was 3.23 to 1. ## Note 3 - Possession of Control Requirements Starlight Funding Investments, LLC (a) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold and or otherwise owe funds or securities for to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of rule 15c2-4; (b) did not carry account of or for customers; and (c) did not carry PAB account (as defined in rule 15c3-3). There were no material inadequacies in the procedures followed in adhering to the exemptive provision. ## Note 4 - Contingencies There are currently no asserted claims or legal proceedings against the Company, however, the nature of the and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of any such action against the Company could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results, of operations, or cash flows of the Company. # Note 5 - Rent There was no rent expense in 2025 #### Note 6 - Segment Reporting The Company is engaged in a single line of business as an investment banking broker-dealer which is comprised of offering several classes of services or intending to offer such services, including - Engaging in the distribution of debt and equity securities of corporations and other entities, through the private placement of such securities on a best-efforts basis. - Selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions. - Conducting real estate investment trust transactions. - Offering research products. {14}------------------------------------------------ ## Starlight Funding Investments, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") who uses projected net income from investment banking assignments to evaluate the potential results of the business, predominantly by forecasting retainers and commissions; or from transactions for acquisitions of equity from merchant banking assignments, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 2), 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/distribute its profits. 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 segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1). The Company derived 79% of total revenues earned during the year ended December 31, 2025, from one customer. The significant expenses of the segment are reported on the accompanying income statement of this report. #### Note 7 - Related Parties Disclosures Any transaction involving any member of management, any registered representative, or their family member will be approved by the CEO and Managing Principal before transaction takes place. There were no instances of related party transactions in 2025. #### Note 8 - Disclosure related to recent accounting pronouncement: There were no new accounting pronouncements relevant for the year ending December 31, 2025 that we believe would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. #### Note 9 - Disclosure of Going concern assumption Since 2013, the operating practice of the sole owner is to leave a minimal amount of Net Capital in the company and put in capital as required. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, during the year ended December 31, 2025. {15}------------------------------------------------ ## Starlight Funding Investments, LLC ## Schedule I: Supplemental Information Pursuant to Rule 17a-5 December 31, 2025 | Computation of Net Capital | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | Total member's equity qualified for net capital | \$
