# **Notes to Financial Statements**

*(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)* **Year Ended December 31, 2025**

### **1. Organization and Description of Business**

Setter Capital Inc. ("Setter" or the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company is a registered broker and dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Setter is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company computes its regulatory net capital under the basic method of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. The Company's primary source of revenue is concession fees earned acting as an intermediary to investment banking transactions. The Company's office is in Toronto, Canada.

## *Segment Reporting*

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a broker-dealer on the secondary market. The Company has identified its President the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, as well as in the forecasting and planning processes. 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 or distribute the 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 segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 2). The Company derived \$55.5 million of total revenues earned during the year ended December 31, 2025. The significant expenses are reported on the accompanying income statement of this report.

# **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

The Company maintains its financial records in United States dollars. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The significant accounting policies are as follows:

#### *Revenues from Contracts with Customers*

# *Revenue Recognition Policy*

The Company derives its revenues primarily form concession fees. Fees are earned from successful investment banking intermediary transactions of non-registered customer investments. The fees earned are contingent upon the successful completion of the underlying transaction for which the services are rendered. As such, the Company records this revenue as earned upon successful completion of a transaction.

# *Performance Obligation*

On successfully pairing a seller with a buyer and the underlying financial transaction closes. At this point the company has no further performance obligations.

## *Variable Consideration*

The nature of the Company's business does not give rise to variable consideration that would otherwise decrease the transaction price which would reduce revenue.

Various economic factors affect revenue and cash flows. In substantially all revenue transactions, cash collections on concession fees earned from successful transactions are realized immediately after the transaction is consummated.

{6}------------------------------------------------

# **Notes to Financial Statements**

*(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)* **Year Ended December 31, 2025**

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

The timing of revenue recognition results in billed concession fees receivable on the statement of fi nancial condition. The beginning and ending accounting receivable balances were as follows:

|  |  | 2025          | 2024         |
|--|--|---------------|--------------|
|  |  | \$ 10,582,239 | \$ 8,273,314 |

#### *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on deposit and other highly liquid short-term investments maintained with major financial institutions in Canada. Deposits with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance (CAD \$100,000) provided on such deposits. These deposits bear minimal credit risk as they are generally redeemable on demand.

## *Equity Securities*

Equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar instrument. Interest and dividends are included in net investment revenue.

# *Accounts Receivables*

Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables for concession fees earned as an intermediary from successful investment banking transactions. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for potential bad debts. The review is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed necessary at December 31, 2025.

#### *Bonus Payable.*

Bonuses are accrued on a quarterly basis, reflecting a portion of the company's profit. These bonuses are then paid out in the first half of the following fiscal year. The initial portion of the bonus is allocated to employees based on their individual performance, as assessed during the evaluation period. The remaining balance of the bonus pool is distributed to the President, based on management's judgment and with consideration of the company's overall profitability, strategic objectives, and long-term goals

#### *Depreciation*

Furniture, computer equipment, and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment charges, if any. Depreciation on furniture and computer equipment is calculated using the declining balance method at rates sufficient to depreciate these assets over their estimated useful lives of typically three to five years. Depreciation on leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of lease.

## *Leases and Right-of-Use Assets*

The Company follows FASB ASC 842, Leases. The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease is made at the lease's inception. Under FASB ASC 842, Leases, a contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is defined under the standard as having both the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Management only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent their obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease

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

# **Notes to Financial Statements**

*(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)* **Year Ended December 31, 2025**

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

payments over the lease term. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease when it is readily

determinable. The current Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Companies incremental borrowing rate determined as 10.2%. Operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude

any lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.

### *Income Taxes*

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the date of enactment.

# *Foreign Currency Translation*

The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar as it is this currency that primarily influences the market price of concession fees earned. Monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign currency balances are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. Non-monetary assets and liabilities related to foreign currency transactions and revenue and expenses related to foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction dates. Realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation and transactions are included in net income for the period to which they relate.

## *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America required 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 year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### *Fair Value of Equity Investments*

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) defines fair value, expands disclosure requirements related to fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

- Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
- Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
- Level 3 Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize

{8}------------------------------------------------

## **Notes to Financial Statements** *(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)* **Year Ended December 31, 2025**

the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, certain assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The only assets that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The fair values of our investments in equity securities using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets are based on the closing price as of the statement of financial condition date and are classified as Level 1.

## **3. Regulatory Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). Under this rule, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital and an allowance ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined under this Rule, not exceeding 15 to 1. Under the basic method, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of \$5,000 and 6.67% of aggregate indebtedness. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of approximately \$29,070,257, which is in excess of the required minimum net capital of \$2,969,754. The Company's net capital ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 1.53 to 1.

FINRA, the Company's designated self-regulatory organization, has certain additional capital requirements which provide that equity capital may neither be withdrawn nor may cash dividends be paid if the resulting net capital would be less than the greater of 5% of the calculated aggregate debits and 120% of required minimum net capital. The Company neither made any equity capital withdrawal nor paid out cash dividend as at 31 December 2025.

#### **4. Cash and Cash Equivalents**

## **10. Financial Instruments**

#### *Fair Values*

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to shareholder and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to their short-term, demand nature or imminent maturity.

# *Credit Risk Management*

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its accounts receivable. The credit risk on accounts receivable is minimized as all transactions involve large well capitalized financial institutions.

# *Currency Risk*

Approximately 6.2% of Setter's revenues are denominated in Euros. Consequently, this portion of concession revenues and related accounts receivables are exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company pays its income, payroll and sales taxes and employee compensation and benefits in Canadian dollars, which are also exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had deposits of Euros nil and Canadian dollars \$1,068,454.00at major Canadian financial institutions. A 5% increase in the United States dollar vis a vis the Canadian dollar will decrease net income by \$182,347assuming all other variables remain consistent.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had trade receivables Euros of 1,218,864. A 5% increase in the United States dollar vis a vis the Euro will decrease net income by \$71,535 assuming all other

variables remain consistent.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of CAD \$60,280,653.00. A 5% increase in the United States dollar vis a vis the Canadian dollar will increase net income by \$2,199,061, assuming all other variables remain consistent.

# **11. Income Taxes**

Setter's only permanent establishment is in Canada, as such it is only subject to Canadian income taxes. In Canada, the general combined statutory federal and Ontario provincial income tax rate is 26.50%.

The Company remains open to federal and provincial examinations for fiscal years December 31, 2020 and forward.
