#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members of Themis Trading LLC

#### Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Themis Trading LLC as of December 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 Themis Trading LLC as of December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of Themis Trading LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Themis Trading LLC'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 Themis Trading LLC 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 eror 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 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.

We have served as Themis Trading LLC's auditor since 2023.

The Company introduces its customer transactions on a fully disclosed basis to RBC for correspondent clearing services in accordance with the terms of a clearing agreement. In connection with the agreement RBC has agreed to perform clearing and depository operations, and the Company has agreed to indemnify RBC for losses that it may sustain related to the Company's customers. At December 31, 2025, the deposit with clearing broker reflected on the statement of financial condition was substantially in cash held by RBC.

### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company maintains its books and records on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

{6}------------------------------------------------

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.

Due from clearing broker comprises amounts due form the clearing firm for commissions on December 31, 2025.

Brokerage transactions are classified as operating activities on the statement of cash flows since this is the Company's principal business activity.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 as codified in ASC 606 and records commission, other revenue, and interest as well as clearing expenses on a trade date basis as transactions occur. The trade date is the date that pricing, performance obligations, and ownership terms are agreed upon.

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts with several financial institutions with balances that may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits and Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") insurance limits, respectively. At year end, amounts were under the FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.

#### 3. INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be recognized as an S-corporation by the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes only. For state income tax purposes, the Company recognizes corporation business tax ("CBT") at the maximum level of \$1,500, which is included in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Company's income or loss is reportable by its shareholders on their individual tax returns.

The FASB provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more Iikely than not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. As of December 31, 2025 management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions.

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

#### 4. SOFT DOLLAR EXPENSE

The Company's clients are permitted to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for third party research that is consistent with the guidelines set forth in SEA Section 28(e). Soft dollar expense and liabilities are recognized upon trade execution for a predetermined portion of the commission allocated to soft dollar. On December 31, 2025, \$8,142 is included in other liabilities related to these accrued commission payments.

#### 5. 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 methodology to estimate expected credit losses during the entire life of any existing financial asset. Under the accounting update, Themis has the ability to determine that there are no or limited expected credit losses associated with its business, such as the risk related to institutional counterparty credit quality during the transaction settlement period. The Company had commissions receivable of \$373,922, primarily from trade date transactions, as of December 31, 2025.

## 6. FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. 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 FASB ASC 820, 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 can access at the measurement date.

Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

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

### 6. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 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 judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to 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 following table presents the companies fair value hierarchy for investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis on December 31, 2025:

|                   | Level I |
|-------------------|---------|
| Money Market      | 2,961   |
| Total Investments | \$2,961 |

#### 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is leasing its office space on a month-to-month basis at the rate of \$ 4,403 per month. The total paid for the year ends December 31, 2025 was \$ 52,832

The Company had no contingent liabilities and has not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2025, or during the year then ended.

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

#### 8. SEA RULE 15C3-3

The Company is exempt from the provisions of the SEC customer protection rules, SEA Rule 15c3-3 under Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) in that the Company carries no accounts, does not hold funds or securities for or owe money or securities to clients and executes all financial transactions on behalf of clients on a fully disclosed basis through its clearing firm.

## 9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities brokerdealer, which is comprised of agency and soft dollar transactions. The Company has identified its Managing Member 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 9), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. 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 ( see note 2).

## 10. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the SEC's net capital rule (SEA 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. On December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$763,074, which exceeded the minimum requirement of \$100,000 by \$663,074. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at that same date was 0.44 to 1.

### 11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

As a securities broker-dealer, the Company is engaged in various securities trading and brokerage activities servicing a diverse group of institutional clients. These activities may expose the Company to off balance sheet credit risk in the event a client is unable to fulfill its contracted obligation.

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

### 12. COMPANY CONDITION

The Company has a loss of \$ 52,278 for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management believes that they have sufficient capital to continue operations and to maintain compliance with minimum net capital requirements.

## 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
