#### Notes to Financial Statements

#### December 31, 2025

## 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Organization and Basis of Presentation

Woodmen Financial Services, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on July 9, 2001, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of WFS Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society (WoodmenLife). The Company began operating as a brokerdealer on July 1, 2002. The Company is registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is an introducing broker-dealer, which conducts business on a subscription way basis. The Company has a capitalization agreement with WFS Holdings, Inc, which has a capitalization agreement with its parent company, WoodmenLife. There is no on-going concern with the distribution patterns.

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed, standardized and disaggregated disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025.

## Reportable Segments

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as an introducing broker-dealer. It has identified its President 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 or loss, to make operational decisions, while maintaining capital adequacy.

The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, which is represented in the Financial Statements presented.

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statements during the reporting period. It is possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include interest-bearing commercial checking and a money market fund.

#### Fair Value

Fair value is based on an exit price, which 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. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework for fair value that ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value into three levels.

- · Level 1 Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- · Level 2 Fair values are based on inputs, other than quoted prices from active markets, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- · Level 3 Fair values are based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

All investments included in the Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 are in money market funds that are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are based upon daily quoted prices, and therefore are considered Level 1. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during 2025.

## Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period.

The Company evaluates the deferred tax asset for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

### Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has relied upon capital contributions from WoodmenLife (through WFS Holdings, Inc) to fund operating activities and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations or maintain regulatory requirements for one year following the date the financial statements are issued. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from WoodmenLife. As of the date the financial statements are issued. WoodmenLife has committed that they will provide funding to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they come due to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date the financial statements are issued.

#### Subsequent Events

The Company's management has evaluated the financial statement for subsequent events though March 16, 2026, the date the financials were issued.

#### 2. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated income tax return of WFS Holdings, Inc. Consolidated income tax expense is allocated based on each company's separate taxable income.

The Company has accumulated net operating losses of \$11,369,000, of which \$9,204,500 can be carried forward to offset future taxable income but expire between tax year 2026 and 2037 and \$2,164,500 of accumulated net operating losses that do not expire. The net operating losses result in a net deferred asset of \$2,388,000 at December 31, 2025. This represents the only significant temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Due to the uncertainty regarding whether the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the operating loss carryforwards, management has established a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax asset and therefore no net deferred asset is reported on the Statement of Financial Condition.

There was a net decrease of \$223,000 in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The current effective federal tax rate is zero, which differs from the federal rate of 21%, due to the expected future tax benefit of the current and prior year losses.

{9}------------------------------------------------

#### Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

#### Income Taxes (continued)

The Company files a U.S. Federal income tax return and state income tax returns where required. The 2022 through 2025 U.S. Federal tax years are subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2025.

## 3. Net Capital

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined.

Advances to affiliates, dividend payments, and other equity withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other provisions of the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule or other regulatory bodies.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$601,368 which was \$531,834 in excess of the required net capital of \$69,534. At December 31, 2025, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 1.73 to 1. Various other regulatory agencies may impose additional capital requirements

#### 4. Related-Party Transactions

As of December 31, 2025, commission payable includes amounts due to WoodmenLife of \$142,166 and receivables from brokers, dealers, and others includes amounts due from WoodmenLife of \$156,866.

A portion of the Company's liabilities is due to WoodmenLife in accordance with a professional services agreement in effect. The amount due at December 31, 2025 was \$21,784.
