(hereinafter referred to as "the Company") as of March 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### Basis for Opinion The financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. ![](_page_4_Picture_8.jpeg) We have served as the Company's auditor since 2021.

6,093,905 | {6}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2025** #### **1. Organization** ICICI Securities Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of ICICI Securities Holdings, Inc. (Parent), which in turn is a subsidiary of ICICI Securities Ltd, an Indian financial services company. The Company provides brokerage and corporate finance services to institutional investors in the United States, Canada and Singapore, investing in securities of companies principally headquartered in India. In addition, it may provide brokerage services to Indian corporations wishing to invest in the United States and underwriting services for issuers wishing to offer securities to the marketplace. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a broker-dealer and is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). The Company is also approved to operate in Canada under the International Dealer Exemption in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. The Company's customers transact their business on a delivery versus payment basis. The settlement of the customer securities transactions is facilitated by an affiliate in India for securities traded in the Indian stock markets. Accordingly, the Company operates under the exemptive provisions of Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and it is also subject to Rule 15c3-1, the Uniform Net Capital Rule. #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies** #### **Cash** The Company maintains cash at banking institutions in various countries. Cash on deposit in U.S. financial institutions may at times exceed federal insurance limits. The Company also maintains cash deposits in a Singapore financial institution that is subject to the limits of the deposit insurance scheme administered by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. #### **Fixed Assets** Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. #### **Income Taxes** The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of its Parent and, therefore, all of its income or losses are included in the consolidated tax return filed by its Parent. Tax liabilities are calculated on a separate return basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized subject to management's judgement that realization is more likely than not. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### *2.* **Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### **Foreign Currency** The U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency for the Company's foreign branch located in Singapore. The assets and liabilities of the foreign branch are remeasured from the local currency to U.S. dollar at current or historic exchange rates, as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are remeasured from the local currency to U.S. dollar using average monthly exchange rates for the month in which the transaction occurred. Remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations. #### **Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates** These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and are stated in US dollars. All transactions with the Branch and balances with them have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets and Liabilities Accounts receivable arises when the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer and are derecognized when the cash is received. There were no accounts receivable from third parties on April 1, 2024, and no contract assets or liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, there were no accounts receivable from third parties, and no contract assets or liabilities. #### **Allowance for Credit Losses** The Company follows ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. The Company did not have any financial asset impacted by the guidance. An allowance for credit losses may be based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of its receivables utilizing the CECL framework. 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 collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company assessed the impact of CECL on its financial assets and concluded that there is de minimis expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic losses as of March 31, 2025. {8}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2025** #### **3. Fair Value Measurements** U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including,for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgement. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs usedto measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their carrying value because of their short-term maturity. {9}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2025** #### **4. Related Party Transactions** The Company's customer securities transactions are facilitated by an affiliate in India. Commissions earned are collected and retained by the affiliate. The affiliate compensates the Company by paying its expenses plus a markup of 8%. The Company also receives a fixed annual fee for providing certain administrative services to another affiliated Company and is included in transfer pricing revenue on the statement of operations. The Company also earned transfer pricing revenue. The total amount due from affiliated companies was \$329,834 and \$461,580 as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 respectively. ICICI Bank Limited (the "Bank") acts as a guarantor on behalf of the ICICI Securities Inc's Singapore Branch for the letter of undertaking (LOU) issued to Monetary Authority of Singapore. The LOU charges incurred and paid by the Company to the Bank during the current year amounted to approximately US \$58,800. All monthly fees ("dues") related to this transaction were settled during the year and as at March 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance payable by the Company to the Bank. #### **5. Net Capital Requirement** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital (SEC Rule 15c3-1) ("the Rule") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has elected to use the alternative method permitted by the Rule, which requires the Company to maintain minimum net capital, as defined, that shall not be less than \$250,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$2,082,478 which exceeded requirements by \$1,832,478. #### **6. Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Concentration Risk and Credit Risk** The Company's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk using a variety of financial position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Company has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each customer and/or other counterparty with which it conducts business. The Company's operations are mainly conducted through an affiliated company located in India. The Company's performance can be significantly influenced by economic factors and risks inherent in conducting business in foreign countries, including government regulations, currency restrictions and other factors that may significantly affect management's estimates and the Company's performance. Substantially all of the Company's cash is held in accounts at major financial institutions. Management does not expect any losses to result with respect to any of these concentrations. Certificates of deposit are held by one financial institution. Management does not expect any losses to result with respect to this concentration. A significant portion of the Company's assets are represented by receivables from its affiliates and cash balances maintained with banks. The Company is dependent on its affiliates for 100% of its revenue. {10}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2025** #### **7. Income Taxes** The Company is part of a group that files a consolidated tax return. The deferred tax asset of \$256,143 was computed using the effective tax rate of 21%. The components of the net deferred tax assets are as follows: | Deferred tax assets: | | |-----------------------------------------|-----------------| | Net operating loss federal carryforward | \$
1,402,614 | | Depreciation | (401) | | Gross deferred tax assets | 1,402,213 | | Less: valuation allowance | (1,146,070) | | Deferred tax assets, net | \$
256,143 | At March 31, 2025, the Company's deferred tax assets were primarily related to federal net operating loss carryovers that primarily will start to expire in 2028. The value of the deferred tax asset was calculated based on the estimated future earnings of the Company over the next five years. The tax years ended March 2022 through March 2024 remain open and subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the US. The statute of limitations for various other jurisdictions is based on the various local laws but generally, it is in the range of 2-3 years. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense within the statement of operations; however, there are none for the year ended March 31, 2025. At this time, the Company does not expect any material change in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. #### **8. Certificate of Deposit** At March 31, 2025, the Company held certificates of deposit ("CD's') that have various maturity dates during 2025 and are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The CD's are non-negotiable, not convertible into cash and non-redeemable prior to maturity. #### **9. Commitments and Contingencies** The Company rents office space in two locations under operating leases that expire on August 31, 2026, and January 31, 2026, respectively. Future minimum payments through the end of the leases will be approximately \$111,000. The Company has a long-term incentive bonus plan in place that is partly dependent on the overall economic performance of the Company. To be eligible to receive payment, an employee must be employed by the Company past the payment date. The Company has accrued \$184,452 representing the next payment due on April 30, 2025. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **9. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)** Future payments are projected to be as follows: | Due Date | Amount | | |----------------|---------------|--| | April 30, 2025 | 184,452 | | | April 30, 2026 | 116,554 | | | April 30, 2027 | 69,834 | | | | \$
370,840 | | #### **10. 401(k) Plan** The Company sponsors a qualified defined contribution salary reduction 401(k) plan covering all eligible employees. The maximum contribution payable under the plan is equal to a defined percentage of the eligible employee's salary subject to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limits. Employee contributions may be matched at the discretion of the Company subject to IRS limits. #### **11. Share Based Compensation** ICICI Securities Limited, an affiliate, has formulated the ICICI Securities Limited - Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2017 (ESOS - 2017) and Employees Stock Option Scheme (ESOS – 2022). These schemes have been cancelled during the year ended March 31, 2025, and employees have been granted options and units of ICICI Bank under the schemes of the Bank. On March 26, 2025, a modification related to the cancellation of 48,500 options under the ESOS – 2017 plan and 25,430 units under the ESOS – 2022 plan and subsequent replacement with options and units of ICICI Bank Limited's Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Unit Scheme respectively was implemented. The swap ratio for the exchange of options/units was determined as 67 new options/units of ICICI Bank for every 100 options/units of old options/units of ICICI Securities Limited. The amount of incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification was \$15,176. There were no other modifications during the year ended March 31, 2025. These schemes envisaged grant of share options to eligible employees to enhance employee motivation, to enable employees to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company and to act as a retention mechanism, by enabling employee participation in the business as an active stakeholder to usher in an 'owner-manager' culture. The new grants awarded post modification will convert into one equity share of ICICI Bank Limited, on exercise at the respective exercise prices, subject to requirement of vesting conditions. The options granted under the Scheme generally are subject to a combination of service conditions and performance conditions. Stock options and units granted by ICICI Bank to the Eligible Employees, the period during which the stock options and units granted by ICICI Securities Limited were held by or deemed to {12}------------------------------------------------ #### **11. Share Based Compensation (continued)** have been held by the Eligible Employees have been taken into account for determining the minimum vesting period required under the ICICI Bank ESOS and ESUS, as the case may be. The employees of the Company have participated in the above schemes, based on which the employees of the Company have been granted stock options of the affiliate Company. The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". ASC 718 requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and purchases under employee stock purchase plans, to be recognized in statements of operations based on their fair values. The Company elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant. In accordance with ASC 718, stock compensation for all options granted that the Company expects to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In respect of options that have a graded vesting schedule and with only service conditions, compensation cost is recognized on straight line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was-in-substance, multiple awards. For awards with both service and performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost for when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. An amount equal to such compensation expense for the year is credited to additional paid in capital of the Company. #### **Scheme - ESOS - 2017** | | Outstanding | Weighted Average

The aggregate fair value of all options granted during the year was \$15,279 and the aggregate fair value of all the options lapsed during the year was Nil. #### **12. 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 marketing of affiliated funds, agency transactions, investment banking and investment advisory businesses. The Company has identified its President and CEO 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 as whether to reinvest profits or make distributions. 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. #### **13. Subsequent Events** The Company has evaluated subsequent events up to the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company's evaluation noted no subsequent events that require adjustment to, or disclosure in, these financial statements. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
