## **Allegiance** Capital, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025

#### SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

# Nature of **Business**

Allegiance Capital, LLC (the Company) **is a** broker-dealer **d/b/a** Richard Brothers Securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company **is a** limited liability company organized in Maine. The clients are located primarily in New England.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from separate records maintained by the Company and, due to certain transactions and agreements with affiliated entities, may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition that would have existed, or the results that would have been obtained from operations, had the Company operated as an unaffiliated company.

### Income Taxes

The Company is treated **as a** partnership for income tax purposes. Under subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code, each member is taxed separately on their distributive share of the Partnership's income whether or not that income is actually distributed.

#### Commissions

The Company adopted FASS ASC 606, revenue from contracts with clients. The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (1) identity the contract with a client, (2) identity the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

# 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 during the reporting period and at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Statement of Cash Flows

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

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

Allegiance Capital, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 202S

#### BROKER DEALER - SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT

The company is engaged in a single line of business **as a** securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of one class of services, including mutual fund retailer, municipal securities broker and broker or dealer selling variable life insurance or annuities. The Company has identified its Financial Operations Principal, Neal Richard, 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 make member 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 the profit and loss of the segment are the **same as** those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

#### CONTINGENCIES

# Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in banks that may exceed federally insured limits. Amounts uninsured and uncollateralized were \$620 at December 31, 2025, and **were** held at FINRA. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk related to the cash account.

# Litigation

Various legal claims **arise** from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company was not involved in any litigation or any other legal claims as of December 31, 2025.

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

## Allegiance Capital, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2025

The Company has entered into a Management Services Agreement (the Agreement) with Allegiance Financial Group, Inc.

| Office expenses | 101      |
| Miscellaneous   | 19       |

The Company paid for expenses that relate to both the Company and Allegiance Financial Group, Inc. during 2025 . These expenses are allocated to the Company and Allegiance Financial Group, Inc. based on their relative revenues generated per the agreement between the Company and Allegiance Financial Group, Inc. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owed Allegiance Financial Group, Inc. \$3,846 related to these Company-paid **expenses.** 

There **were** no transactions **between AFX** Global **Advisors,** Inc. or Marlin Enterprises, LLC **and the** Company during 2025.

#### NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the SEC 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, shall not exceed 15 to l (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1) at December 31, 2025. The Company had net capital of \$65,845, which was \$60,845 in **excess** of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to excess net capital at December 31, 2025 was 6.49%.

# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Members of Allegiance Capital, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which Allegiance Capital, LLC. is a registered broker-dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following: (1) The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3, and (2) The Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to (1) Mutual fund retailer; (2) Municipal securities broker; and (3) Broker or dealer selling variable life insurance or annuities; and The Company (1) did not direcUy 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); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

Allegiance Capital, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions 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 Allegiance Capital, LLC'S compliance with the exemption provisions. 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 Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.Ha-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
