# **NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

IA Global Capital LLC (the "Company") is a single member limited liability company. The single member is IA Global Capital Holding LLC, a New York limited liability Company. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of New York on June 9, 2003. The Company is a broker-dealer in securities registered 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 was formerly known as Innovation Advisors LLC and changed its name in February of 2024. Its single member was formerly known as Innovation Advisors Holding LLC and changed its name at the same time.

The Company provides investment banking services to middle-market technology companies. It also provides strategic advisory services related to mergers and acquisitions and assists IT companies' efforts to raise capital through private placements.

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

#### Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue from investment banking and service fees is derived from established agreements with its clients. Revenue is recognized at a point in time based on identified performance obligations in the contract, a determined transaction price for each performance obligation, and the satisfaction of each performance obligation.

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

### Treatment of Leases

The Company does not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases. A shortterm lease has a term of twelve months or less at commencement and does not include a purchase option.

# **NOTE 3. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND MARKET RISK**

The Company maintains its cash in a bank account that, at times, may exceed the federal insurance limit of \$250,000.

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

#### **NOTE 4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its member whereby certain overhead expenses, are allocated to the Company. The Company has paid the member in advance for these costs, and maintains a prepaid balance with the member, which totals \$5,800 on December 31, 2025, reflected in Prepaid Expenses and other Assets on the Statement of Financial Condition. During the year \$7,200 was charged to the Company as follows:

| Miscellaneous services | \$7,200 |
|------------------------|---------|
| Total                  | \$7 200 |

#### **NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES**

The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is treated as a "disregarded entity" for federal and New York State income tax purposes. The Company's assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and tax credits are treated as those of its member owner, who is responsible for any taxes thereon. The Company's allocated share of local taxes, if any, is included in the accompanying statement of operations.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with F ASB 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. With few exceptions, the measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

### **NOTE 6. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-1 "), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$178,762, which exceeded the Company's minimum net capital requirement of \$5,000 by \$173,762. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.11 to 1 at December 31, 2025.

#### **NOTE 7. SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of investment banking and securities placement activities. The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision making ("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 6), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest or distribute profits. 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 policies. The Company derived 50% of its total revenues from a single external customer in 2025.
