## 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies as Well as Independent Advisor:

### Organization:

Wilmington Capital Securities, LLC (A Limited Liability Company) (the "Company"), was organized under the laws of the State of New York in 2004 as GHS Capital Management, LLC and was registered as a brokerdealer in June 2005 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as a registered investment advisory. The Company is approved to sell corporate equity securities, corporate debt securities. U.S. government securities, municipal securities, mutual funds, variable annuities, put and call options and private placements of securities to public customers.

### Concentration of Risk:

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were \$797,087. Of this amount, \$114,572 is held in a non-interest bearing accounts. All funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to \$250,000 by financial institution. At year end, the Company had approximately \$410,000 in cash balances above the insured amount.

Balances held at the clearing broker are insured by the Securities Investor Protection subject to certain limitations.

## Security Transactions:

The Company values its securities in accordance with FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" standard. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the prices that would be received to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

## Commissions:

The Company chooses to recognize trading revenue and record transactions on a settlement date basis with related commission income and expenses recorded on a settlement date basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") require revenue to be recorded on a trade date basis. As the company's clearing firm prepares all reports on a settlement date basis, for transparency, matching and lastly convenience the Company chooses to recognize revenue on that basis as well. For the year ending December 31, 2025, the difference in the amount of revenue the Company would have recorded if transactions were recorded on the trade date as opposed to the settlement date is insignificant and not material. The Company determined that the settlement date approximates trade date recognition of revenue.

## 12B-1 Distribution Fees:

The Company enters into arranged accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund upfront, over time, upon the investors exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that it's performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as uncertainty is dependent on the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Companies 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. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

## 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

| Brokerage Commissions | \$3.343.369 |
|-----------------------|-------------|
| 12B-1 Fees            | \$67.478    |

## Investment Banking Fees and Advisory Fees:

Investment banking fees, arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an agent. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain events.

The Company provides investment advisory services related to capital raising activities. Revenue for investment banking arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). However, for certain contracts, retainer revenue is recognized over time for consulting arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In certain circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract.

### Trading income

The Company engages in principal trading and fixed income securities trading of fixed income securities. including municipal, corporate, and government debt These transactions and related spread revenues are recorded on a trade date basis, since that is when the underlying financial instrument is identified, the pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and returns of ownership have been transferred.

### Investment Advisory Fees

The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing these services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received monthly and quarterly and recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in the period which are distinct from the services provided in other periods.

### Other Income:

Other income includes interest and dividends and is recorded on a settlement date basis. For transparency, matching and convenience, the Company chooses to recognize other income on a settlement date basis as the Company's clearing firm prepares all reports on a settlement date basis. U.S. GAAP require to be recorded on a trade date basis. For the year ending December 31, 2025, the difference in the amount of revenue the Company would have recorded if transactions were recorded on trade date as opposed to settlement date is immaterial.

Valuation of Investments in Securities and Securities at Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is:

- Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
- Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in level 1; such as quoted for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
- Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, 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 in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

## 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

### Income Taxes:

The Company has elected to be taxed as a sub-S corporation, effective January 1, 2014. Therefore, all items of income and deduction flow through to the member.

## Accounting Basis and Use of Estimates:

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

## Segment Reporting

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including principal transactions, investment banking, investment advisory, and venture capital businesses. 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 4), 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 dividends. 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. The revenue and significant categories of expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM are summarized on the accompanying Statement of Income.

### Subsequent Events:

The Company evaluated subsequent events through April 16, 2026, the date of the financial statements were issued. There were no events requiring disclosure or adjustments.

#### 2. Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company is a lessee in several noncancellable operating leases, for office space, computers and other office equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. 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, we use our 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 ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at 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. We recognize lease cost associated with our short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, for computers and other office equipment, to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components (lessor-provided maintenance) as a single lease component.

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office space with initial noncancelable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified this lease as an operating lease generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from two to five years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the optional periods are not included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under these renewal options are excluded from lease payments. The Company's leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of the Company's leases, variable payments.

The Company's office space lease require it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of the building's property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred.

## 6. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk:

As a securities broker, the company is engaged in buying and selling securities for a diverse group of institutional and individual investors. The company's transactions are collateralized and are executed with and on behalf of banks, brokers and dealers and other financial institutions. The Company introduces these transactions for clearance to other broker/dealers on a fully disclosed basis.

The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with non-performance of customers in fulfilling their contractual obligations pursuant to securities transactions can be directly impacted by volatile trading markets which may impair customers' ability to satisfy their obligations to the Company and the Company's ability to liquidate the collateral at an amount equal to the original contracted amount. The agreement between the Company and its clearing brokers provides that the Company is obligated to assume any exposure related to such non-performance by its customers. The company seeks to control the aforementioned risks by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory requirements and the clearing brokers internal guidelines. The Company monitors its customers' activity by reviewing it receives from its clearing brokers on a daily basis, and requiring customers to deposit additional collateral, or reduce positions when necessary.
