### **1. ORGANIZATION**

Willow Cove Investment Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company is authorized to engage in general securities business that may include: (1) retail transactions in corporate equity securities over-the-counter, (2) retail transactions in corporate debt securities, (3) participation, on a best-efforts basis, as an underwriter or selling group member in offerings of corporate securities and alternative investments (excluding mutual funds), (4) distribution of mutual funds via subscription applications, (5) private placement of securities, including Regulation D offerings, (6) merger and acquisition consulting services, (7) advisory services related to memorandum and document development, (8) syndication advisory services; and (09) corporate finance due diligence services.

### **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For the purpose of reporting the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances in excess of FDIC and similar insurance coverage are subject to the usual banking risks associated with funds in excess of those limits. On December 31. 2025, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

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

#### **Revenue Recognition**.

#### *Significant Judgments*

Revenues from contracts with customers include commission income and due diligence /marketing fees from DST Alternative Investments, alternative investment offerings and investment banking. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

#### *Commissions*

Brokerage Commissions: Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and variable annuities and 12b-1's are recognized as revenue at the point in time the associated service is fulfilled which is based on the trade date.

Commissions from the sale of DST and other subscription based alternative investments are recognized as revenue at the point in the time the associated service is fulfilled, which is based on the closing transaction date.

#### *Distribution Fees*

The Company enters into arrangements with Mutual Fund companies and may receive distribution fees paid by the funds up front, over time or upon the investor's exit from the fund, known as a contingent deferred sales charge.

The Company believes that its obligation for its performance is the sale of mutual fund shares and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

#### **Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which ranges between 3 to 7 years.

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

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using the current tax laws and rates in effect.

The amount of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable is recognized as of the date of the financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax expenses of benefits are recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax liabilities or assets between years. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately \$0 of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward for federal income tax purposes. The resulting net prior period losses are available for future years and expire through 2032. Utilization of these losses may be severely limited. There are no deferred tax assets or liabilities on December 31, 2025.

State income taxes are provided for the effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to differences between financial and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognizable tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available or when an event occurs that requires a change.

### **3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT**

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2025:

| Furniture and equipment       | \$10,360 |
|-------------------------------|----------|
| Total Property and Equipment  | \$10,360 |
| Less Accumulated Depreciation | (10102)  |
| Net Book Value                | \$ 258   |

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

#### **4. SECURITIES OWNED**

Securities owned are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. December 31, 2025, consisted of no marketable equity securities.

#### **5. SINGLE REPORTING SEGMENT**

The Company operates in one business segment as a securities Broker-Dealer, providing services that include participation in Regulation D Rule 506 offerings, direct mutual fund distribution, and investment banking and advisory services. The Company's President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), 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 7), 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 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 align with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The statement of financial condition represents the single reportable segment's financial information for the year ended December 31, 2025.

### **6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company has no commitments or contingencies at year end December 31, 2025.

## **7. OFF BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RISK**

As discussed in Note 1, the Company does not hold customer segregated cash or securities balances. Transactions are processed by a clearing firm on a fully disclosed basis. In conjunction with this arrangement, the Company is contingently liable for any unsecured debit balances in the customer accounts introduced by the Company. These customer activities may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet credit risk in the event the introduced customer is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations. The Company seeks to control such credit risk by monitoring its exposure to the risk of loss daily, on an account

{13}------------------------------------------------

by-account basis. On December 31, 2025, the Company was not responsible for any unsecured debits and did not have any open positions in its trading accounts.

### **NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 1 (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed l0 to l). On December 31, 2025, the Company had a net capital of \$177,864 which represents \$172,8641 in excess of the net capital of \$5,000.00. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital on December 31, 2025, was 0.076 to 1.

#### **8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

#### *Office Lease*

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases –(Topic842). ASU 2016-02 will require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by lease agreements, including for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP, along with disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 relating to its short-term related party office lease and instead has elected to recognize the lease payments as lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Beginning January 1, 2025, the monthly rent was \$150. Effective February 1, 2025, the terms for the Company's office rental agreement increased to \$200 per month on a monthto-month basis. The total rent paid to the related party for the year ending December 31, 2025 was \$2350.

### **9. CREDIT LOSSES**

The Company follows ASC Topic 32, 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. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer).

{14}------------------------------------------------

 The Company had accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024, and 2025 of \$3,307.49 and \$3,321.58 respectively.

#### **10. COMPANY CONDITION**

The Company had a loss of \$50,657.26 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company stockholder has agreed to provide capital contributions to the Company as necessary for it to continue operations and to maintain compliance with minimum capital requirements.

Management expects the Company to continue as a going concern and the financial statements accompanied have been prepared on a going-concern basis without adjustment for realization in the events the Company ceases to continue as a going concern.

#### **11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. No material events or transactions occurred during this period would render these financial statements to be misleading.
