In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 statements are 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 statements, 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. #### **Supplemental Information** The accompanying information contained in Schedules I, II and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014.

Organization and Nature of Business** Ullico Investment Company, LLC (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ullico Inc. (Ullico), was incorporated in 2004 as a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company markets group annuity contracts and private investment funds that are established, owned, and/or managed by affiliates. The Company is a component of a larger business enterprise, and its officers, personnel and other support are provided by that entity. Substantially all of its revenue is derived from placement agent fees, which represent a percentage of the investment management fees earned by Ullico Investment Advisors, Inc. (UIA) and The Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULL), both wholly owned subsidiaries of Ullico. All debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the stockholder shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a stockholder. #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards** #### **Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates** The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company and other affiliated entities that provide services to the Company are under common ownership and management control. The existence of this control could result in the Company's operating results or financial position being significantly different from those that would have been obtained if the Company were autonomous. {10}------------------------------------------------ #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards (continued)** #### **Revenue Recognition** Revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with the respective placement agent agreements between the Company and other entities. Under the respective placement agent agreements, the Company receives a percentage of investment management fees earned by ULL and UIA for serving as a placement agent. Revenues are earned and collected over the life of the contract. Effective July 1, 2024, the Private Placement Agreement between UIA and UIC for the Ullico Infrastructure Taxable and Tax-Exempt Funds (UIF) has been amended. The annual fee paid by UIA to UIC is 14% of UIA's fee revenue related to the UIF. The fee paid by UIA to UIC is 10.75% of the fee income of ULL's Separate Accounts. There were no up-front commissions or fixed amounts of fees that were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the accounts at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains invested, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly and such revenue is recognized accordingly. Revenues recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods. #### **Income Taxes** The Company is organized as a single member Limited Liability Company and has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. The Company's earnings are included in the federal tax return filed by the sole member. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any provisions or credits for federal income taxes. #### **Cash and Cash Equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments in a money market fund and/or investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value approximates carrying value for these investments. #### **Stockholder Dividends** During 2025, the Board of Directors approved stockholder dividends of \$9,225,000 which were paid to Ullico, its sole shareholder and parent. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards (continued)** #### **Fair Value Measurements** The Company has adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for all financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company's financial statements. ASC 820 established a new framework for measuring fair value and expanded related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. ASC 820 specifies that a hierarchy of valuation techniques be determined for each asset based on whether the inputs to the valuation technique for those assets are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data corroborated by independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect assumptions that are not observable in an active market or are developed internally. These two types of inputs create three valuation hierarchy levels: - x Level 1 valuations reflect quoted market or exchange prices for the actual or identical assets or liabilities in active markets. - x Level 2 valuations reflect inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, which are observable. The inputs can include some or all of the following: - o quoted prices on similar assets in active markets - o quoted prices on actual assets that are not active - o inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves, volatilities, or prepayments speeds - o inputs derived from market data - x Level 3 valuations reflect valuations in which one or more of the significant valuation inputs are not observable in an active market, there is limited if any market activity, and/or are based on management inputs into a valuation model The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transfers between levels. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held no investments at fair value. #### **Liabilities Subordinated to the Claims of General Creditors** At December 31, 2025, and during the year then ended, the Company had no liabilities subordinated to the claims of general creditors. {12}------------------------------------------------ #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards (continued)** #### **Adoption of New Accounting Standards** All new Accounting Standards Updates issued by the FASB were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or insignificant in presentation or amount. #### **3. Segment Disclosure** The Company operates in one reportable segment, which is the UIC placement agent services. The primary source of revenue for the Company is placement agent fees (i.e. commissions) earned through private placement agreements with UIA and ULL. The Company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with those described in Footnote 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards. The President of the Company has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on net income, which is reported as consolidated net income in the Statement of Income. Net income is utilized in evaluating the Company's ability to maintain its Net Capital Requirement under Rule 15c3-1 (see Note 5 and Supplemental Schedule I). Accordingly, the financial information presented in the Statement of Income reflects the financial performance and position of the single reportable segment. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, 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 distributions to its parent. #### **4. Net Capital Requirements** Pursuant to the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) of the SEC, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. The rule requires the Company to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6Ҁ% of aggregate indebtedness. At December 31, 2025, the Company's net capital was \$4,501,432 which was \$4,424,753 in excess of net capital requirements. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.17 to 1. #### **5. Related-Party Transactions** The Company earns a placement agent fee derived from an agreed upon percentage of the annual investment management fees earned by UIA through the management of certain privately offered funds. The Company also earns a placement agent fee derived from an agreed upon percentage of the annual investment management fees earned by ULL through the offer of group annuity products. These revenues are reflected in the Commissions line item on the Statement of Income. The Company pays sales commissions to employees of affiliated companies related to the revenue earned through placement agent fees. These expenses are reflected in the Sales commissions line item on the Statement of Income. The Company has entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement (Agreement) with UIA and ULL whereby UIA and ULL allocates a certain percentage of expenses for rent, utilities, salaries and employee benefits, telephone, equipment, furniture and fixtures, accounting services and other general {13}------------------------------------------------ administrative and office expenses to the Company. These expenses are reflected in the Allocated operating expenses and the Allocated compensation and related expenses line items on the Statement of Income. All other operating expenses other than those allocated under the Agreement are paid directly by the Company. The intercompany receivable amount of \$4,412 and intercompany payable of \$144,640 are related party balances due to UIA and ULL related to activity from the above relatedparty transactions. For 2025, the amount of allocated expenses to UIC from related parties was \$4,560,564. #### **6. Risks and Uncertainties** The Company maintains its cash in a bank account, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on this account. Additionally, approximately 94% of the revenues earned by the Company are generated by two affiliated products, representing a significant concentration. The two affiliated products are Separate Account J and the UIF. Management does not believe there to be any significant risk of loss of these products and its correlated revenues. #### **7. Subsequent Events** Events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are categorized as recognized or non-recognized for financial statement purposes. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 20, 2026, and has determined the following events requires disclosure. On February 2, 2026 and March 6, 2026, the Company paid dividends to Ullico in the amount of \$475,000, respectively. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
