Organization** Hamilton Executions LLC (the "Company") was formed as a limited liability company in June 2003; the Company succeedeJ the business and approvals of Hamilton Executions, LLC on May I, 2023.

The Company's primary business is to provide options floor brokerage services to its institutional customers. Effective May I, 2023, the FCF Group intermediate Holdings II LLC became the managing member of the Company as with 27.5% ownership. #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies** #### **Basis of Accounting** The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. #### **Accounts Receivable** The Company's receivables are due from various institutional companies, including broker dealers. Management reviews accounts receivable based on an analysis of each customer and establishes an allowance where collectability of all or part of a receivable becomes impaired. #### **Revenue Recognition** The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective in 2018. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on assessment of individual contract terms. Sign:ficantjudgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are sati~fied at a point in time )rover time. The Company provides brokerage execution services to various customers whereby a customer requests the Company to transact or execute the purchase or sale ofa specific listed option as instructed by the customer. The Company invoices these customers monthly for the various services in which the Company has purchased and sold pursuant to the customer requests. The Company believes that the performance obligation is met on the trade date of the trade execution as there are no further performance obligations once the transactions are executed by the Company. #### **Exchange Rebates** Rebates that are received for both open-outcry trades as well as qualified contingent crosses are credited on a monthly basis. #### **Use of Estimates** The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and I iabi I ities 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 and may have an impact on future periods. {6}------------------------------------------------ # **Hamilton Executions LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31. 2025** #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies (contin ued)** #### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments** ASC 820 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 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 I inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. - *J*Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I 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 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. At December 31 , 2025, the Company held no Level I, Level 2 or Level 3 investments. #### **Depreciation** Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of seven years for furniture and five years for equipment and capitalized software. #### **Income Taxes** The Company, a limited liability company, is taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code and a similar state statute. In lieu of income taxes, the Company passes I 00% of its taxable income and expenses to its members. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in these financial statements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by major tax jurisdictions for years before 2022. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management which did not meet the "more likely than not" standard as of and for the ~·ear ended December 31 , 2025. During the year ended December 31 , 2025 the Company paid *\$405* 045 for the state and local tax paid on behalf of members for pass-through entity tax. #### **Segment Reporting** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which involves providing options execution services to its institutional customers. 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 (see Note 3), 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 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. {7}------------------------------------------------ # **Hamilton Executions LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** # **2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** # **Measurement of Credit Losses** In June 20 I 6, the FASS issued ASU 20 I 6-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The main objective of ASU 20 I 6-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions, and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, and are generally recognized earlier than under previous standards. The adoption of this !>tandard on January I, 2020 did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements. At December 3 I, 2025 the Company did not record any allowance for any uncollectible receivables. # **3. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3-l). This rule requires the Company to maintain a minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or \$5,000. Further, the rule requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital shall not exceed I 5 to I. At December 31 , 2025. the Company's net capital was\$ I ,049,057 which was \$1.0 I 5,216 in excess of the required net capital of \$33,841. The Company 's aggregated indebtedness to net capital ratio was 4.83 at December 3 I, 2025. ## **4. Risk Concentration** The Company's cash consists of cash held at a financial institution where it may, at times, exceed government insurance limits during the year. At December 3 I, 2025 the Company had uninsured cash balances totaling \$340,832. The Company derived over 40% of its total revenues from three external customers in 2025. # **5. Deposit with Clearing Organization** The Company's clearing organization, Vision Financial Markets ("Clearing firm"), requires that it maintain at least \$125,000 in deposits. ## **6. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk** As a securities floor broker, the Company acts in an agency only capacity for counterparties such as broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions. The Company does not commit capital or otherwise engage in proprietary trading activities. The Company maintains a fully disclosed clearing agreement with Clearing firm. The agreement between the Company and Clearing firm provides that the Company is obligated to assume any exposure related to nonperformance by its customers. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance- sheet risk in the event the customer is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations. In the event the customer fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at the prevailing market price in order to fulfill the customer's obligation. The Company seeks to control off-the-balance-sheet credit risk by monitoring its customer transaction and reviewing information it receives from its clearing broker on a daily basis and reserving for doubtful accounts when necessary. ## 7. **Guarantees** Accounting Standards Codification Topic 460 ("ASC 460"), Guarantees, requires the Company to disclose information about its obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. ASC 460 defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity price, an index or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. This guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement, as well as indirect guarantees of the indebtedr.~ss of others. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability related to guarantee agreements at Decembe, 31 , 2025. {8}------------------------------------------------ # **Hamilton Executions LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** ## **8.
