# *Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm*

To The Owner Colorado Financial Service Corporation Centennial, Colorado

#### *Opinion on the Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Colorado Financial Service Corporation, as of December 31, 2025, 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 Colorado Financial Service Corporation 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 entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 Colorado Financial Service Corporation, 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 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.

*LMH-S, JJ.C.*

We have served as Colorado Financial Service Corporation's auditor since 2021.

#### **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### **Note 1: Organization, Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

#### Organization and Business

Colorado Financial Service Corporation (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Colorado National Corp. (Parent). The Company's primary source of revenue is commissions and is received from different sources listed below.

The Company is engaged in a dual line of business as a fully-disclosed broker-dealer pursuant to certain exemptive provisions of SEC Rule 15-c3-3 subparagraph (k)(2)(ii), and as a registered investment advisor. The non-covered Company's activities/ other eligible activities are not required to comply with the requirements of SEC Rule 15c-3 by reason of the SEC's guidance set forth in footnote 74 to SEC Release No. 34-70073.

Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASS") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

#### Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements.

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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers

Following disclosures discuss the company's revenue recognition and accounting policies as governed by topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers.

Performance Obligations - Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as. the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or **at a** point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer has obtained control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration of which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers:

#### Investment Banking

Investment banking revenues include gains, losses, and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter or agent. Investment banking management fees are recorded on offering date, sales concessions on settlement date, and underwriting fees at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable.

#### Private Placement and Engagement Fee

All investor capital is introduced to third party issuers. The agreements with third parties vary by agreement but result in the Company receiving a commission percentage based on the amount of capital raised from investors. The Company also provides marketing and consulting services to customers which includes solicitation of investors for customers that want to raise funds. The Company's performance obligation to the customer is considered completed on the closing date of the transaction.

## **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### Commissions

The Company receives commissions for the sale of mutual funds, insurance policies, stocks and bonds and other financial products to customers on a fully disclosed basis or direct with insurance company or mutual fund. The Company earns trail commissions and 12b-1 fees on certain mutual funds sold to customers for a specified period of time that the customer remains in the fund. The Company records trail commission revenue as trail commissions are remitted to the Company from the mutual funds. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists outside of the Company's control as to the length of time the customer will remain in the mutual fund and therefore does not recognize trail commission revenue until that contingency is resolved. The Company records commission revenue for sales of insurance policies on the effective date of the policy and after all contingencies have been resolved during the lookback period. Revenue from the sale of other financial products is recorded on the trade date. The Company believes the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date, because that is the date that the underlying purchaser is identified, the pricing has been agreed upon, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

#### Advisory Fees and Transaction Services

The Company provides advisory services on managed accounts for certain customers. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received throughout the year and are recognized in the period for which the advisory services are provided.

| Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time | \$<br>3,229,488 |
|------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|
| Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time          | 1,701,733       |
| Total Revenue                                        | \$<br>4,931,221 |

#### Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

#### Commissions Receivable

Commissions receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Management believes that commissions receivable are fully collectible and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.

#### Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has elected to use the taxes payable method. Under that method, income tax expense represents the amount of income tax the Company expects to pay based on the Company's current year taxable income.

The Company may account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (~ASC") Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FASB ASC Topic 740-10 establishes that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company's returns from 2022 to 2025 are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.

## **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### **Note 2: Related Party Transactions**

The Company, through a shared service agreement, paid to The Compliance Department, a related entity owned by Chester Hebert, a management fee totaling \$673,000 and an administrative fee totaling \$91,777 during the year ended December 31, 2025. The management fee pertains to employee salaries and bonuses. The administrative fee includes: copier lease, phones/internet, and general office admin fees and supplies. The Company pays an estimated profit share to its Parent. For the year ending December 31, 2025, this amount was \$103,055.

### **Note 3: Fair value of marketable securities**

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which 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, as specified by GAAP, 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 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.
- Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3 are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)

There were no levels to measure at December 31, 2025.

#### Fair Value Option

GAAP for financial instruments provides a fair value option election that allows the Company to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur for those assets and liabilities for which the election is made. The election is made on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument.

#### **Note 4: Shareholder's Equity and Net Capital and Minimum Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares of its no par value common stock. The Company has issued 100 shares.

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. Rute 15c3-1 requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$1,888,562, which was \$1,881,997 in excess of its required net capital of \$6,565. Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was .052 to 1 as of December 31, 2025

# **Notes to Financial Statements**

### **Note 5: Financial Instruments, Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Uncertainties**

The Company's financial instruments, including cash, receivables, other assets and payables are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The Company's registered representatives place money with funds, all of which are independent. The Company itself does not take discretionary control over any account, monies or funds. The funds and fund managers to which the Company introduces investors pay the Company either a portion of the management and performance fees received by the fund or a commission which is a percentage of the assets raised. In the event the Company does not satisfy its placement agreement terms, the agreement may result in termination.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has deposits in banks in excess of the FDIC insured amount of \$250,000 in the amount of \$1,482,951.

### **Note 6: Litigation and Settlement**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company is still a defendant in a litigation concerning investment products. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case as it proceeds through the civil class action process. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient errors and omissions insurance coverage for any adverse decision that may result from the litigation. The Company has not accrued any liability as it currently cannot address if the claim is probable or foreseeable.

### **Note 7 -Subsequent Review**

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through March 19, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There are no events that have occurred which need additional disclosure.

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

### **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### **Note 8- Lease Obligations**

The Company leases it facilities under an operating lease expiring on the last day of April, 2029 at 188 Inverness Drive West, Suite 100 Centennial, Colorado, 80112. Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable leases with initial terms greater than one year as of December 31, 2025.

#### Total Lease Amount

| 2026                              | \$129,430   |
|-----------------------------------|-------------|
| 2027                              | \$131,432   |
| 2028                              | \$133,433   |
| 2029                              | \$ 44,700   |
| Total Undiscounted Lease Payments | \$438,995   |
| Less Interest:                    | (\$ 28,961) |
| Total Lease Liabilities           | \$410,034   |

Total rental expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$126,019 for the above lease.

In accordance with ASC 842, the company recognizes the right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The lessee asset is equal to the minimum payments under the lease, discounted to present value, as well as a liability reflecting its lease obligation. The interest rate used in calculating the present value of the lease obligation was 3.15%.

#### **Note 9: Advertising**

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2025, advertising costs amounted to \$1,438.

#### **Note 10: 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, Investment Banking, Private Placement and Engagement Fee, Commissions, and Advisory Fees and Transaction Services. The company has identified its Chief Executive Officer 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, 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 the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All revenue segments and significant expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 are disclosed on the Statement of Income.

# **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### **Note 11: Credit Losses**

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provision of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides revised guidance on evaluating accounts and notes receivable and other financial instruments for impairment. The Company records accounts receivable when products or services are delivered and it is probable that payment will be received for those products or services, and the Company does not record any interest or penalties on accounts receivable that are past due under the terms of the related arrangement or invoice until those amounts are received.

Topic 326 requires companies to evaluate their financial instruments for impairment by recording an allowance for doubtful accounts and/or bad debt expense based on certain categories of instruments rather than a specific identification approach. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard using a method to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts that considered both the aging of its accounts receivable and the projected loss rate of its receivables. The Company writes off accounts receivable, and the related allowance for doubtful accounts, when it becomes remote that payment for products or services will be received. The Company did not write off any investments for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements.
