# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Banco do Brasil Securities LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, including 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 the Company 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 the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'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 the Company 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 error 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 statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Banco do Brasil, S.A.) Notes to Financial Statement December 31 , 2025

# **(1) Organization and Business**

Banco do Brasil Securities LLC (the "Company"), a New York Limited Liability Company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Banco do Brasil S.A. (the "Parent"), a banking corporation incorporated under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, which operates in offices located in New York, NY and Miami, Florida.

The Company is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) as an introducing broker-dealer. The principal business of the Company is to act as a brokerdealer in the execution of Brazilian securities transactions with U.S. investors and, at the same time, act as an agent for the Parent's Brazilian customer base investing in the U.S. capital markets.

The Company clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis through a clearing firm. The Company does not accept customer funds and securities as customers transmit all such transactions to the clearing broker. The clearing broker carries all accounts for customers. The Company operates under the provisions of paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of the Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that rule. The Company became a registered investment adviser with the SEC and the state of Florida effective September 6, 2022.

# **(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and reflect the following significant accounting policies:

# *(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents*

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

# *(b) Receivable from broker-dealers and clearing 01-ganizations*

As of December 31 , 2025, amounts receivable from the clearing broker of \$2,048,419 consist of deposits and amounts due from the clearing broker, net of any payable for fees, commissions and errors. As of December 31 , 2024, the receivable from clearing broker amounted to \$2,006,639.

# *(c) Securities Owned and Securities on Deposit, at Fair Value*

Proprietary securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. As of December 31 , 2025, securities owned consisted of \$32,468,300 with no securities on deposit. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities owned and securities on deposit are reflected within trading revenue, net, in the statement of operations. Treasury bills are carried at fair value, based on dealer quotes. As of December 31, 2024, securities owned consisted of \$41 ,134,615 with no securities on deposit.

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

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Banco do Brasil, S.A.) Notes to Financial Statement December 31 , 2025

# **(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

# *(d) Income Taxes*

Provisions for U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes have not been made in the financial statements since the Company is a single member LLC, and the operations are treated as a part of the U.S. branch operations of the Parent. Certain transactions may result in foreign tax withholding that may result in a foreign tax credit to be utilized against foreign source income or appear as a tax expense. The determination is made based on the facts of each transaction.

The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Because many types of transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations under federal, state and foreign income tax laws and regulations, the revenue or expenses reported in the accompanying financial statements may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the respective taxing authorities.

US GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustainable upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of December 31 , 2025, there are no uncertain positions taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2022.

# *(e) Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

# *(f) Foreign Currency Transactions*

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in United States dollar amounts at the year-end exchange rates. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses, are translated into United States dollar amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statement of operations.

#### **(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

#### *(g) Fixed Assets and Leasehold Improvements*

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the economic useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major expenditures for property and equipment which substantially increase their useful lives are capitalized; maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred.

#### *(h) Leases*

The Company is a lessee in a non-cancellable operating lease, for office space. The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC Topic 842"). The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The Right of use ("ROU") asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes the lease cost associated with its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

#### *(i) Segment Reporting*

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of proprietary trading, commission income, mutual fund retailing, and collecting administrative fees on its fully disclosed client accounts. 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 5), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or make profit 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 this segment are the same as those described in the summary of other significant accounting policies noted above.

# (7) **Risk Management**

Counterparties to the Company's activities are primarily financial institutions, including brokers and dealers, banks, Banco do Brasil affiliates, and institutional clients.

In the normal course of business, the Company's activities mainly include acting as an agent for the trade execution of fixed income and equity securities. These activities may expose the Company to risk arising from price volatility, which can reduce the client's ability to meet their obligations. To the extent clients are unable to meet their commitments to the Company, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing market prices in order to fulfill the client's obligations.

The Company's customers' securities transactions are introduced on a fully disclosed basis to its clearing broker.

# **(8) Fair Value Measurements**

Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments and are either already carried at fair value are short term in nature, bear interest at current market rates or are subject to frequent re-pricing. Therefore, their carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the "exit price," in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company's securities owned are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (which are considered Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (which are considered Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions would reflect the Company's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Such valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
