## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025**

#### Note 1 - Organization

Churchill Capital USA, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill Capital Ltd. (the "Parent"), is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in the state of New York and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company engages in a general securities business with institutional investors. The Company received its FINRA approval for membership on July 12, 2007. The Company operates out of an office located in New York City. The Company is exempt from Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC under paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of that rule.

## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following summary of the Company's major accounting policies is presented to assist in the interpretation of the financial statements.

## Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

#### Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers investments in financial instruments with maturities of less than 90 days when issued to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents held at December 31, 2025.

#### Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. This revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contracts(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025**

## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

### Commissions

The Company earns revenue by executing transactions for clients in equity securities and options on a riskless principal basis. All performance obligations are satisfied on trade date. Commission revenues are earned and recorded on a trade date basis and are paid on settlement date, and a receivable is recorded between the trade date and the settlement date. Equity trades are executed through the clearing broker (see Note 3). Options transactions are done through other broker dealers and funds are typically received in the normal course of business when those broker dealers have collected them from clients. Until the funds are collected and paid a receivable is recorded, which is reported in the statement of financial condition in other receivables.

## Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of furniture and fixtures is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of four years and depreciation of IT equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of three years.

## Other Receivables

The Company has receivables due from other financial institutions including broker dealers for commissions due on security transactions related to options trading. In accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("CECL"), the allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectations of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Management does not believe that any allowance is required as of December 31, 2025.

### Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC No. 740 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). As required under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured under tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these differences are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the tax change.

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025**

#### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB's Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Required disclosures are provided in Note 6 – Income Taxes.

#### Uncertain tax positions

The Company evaluates uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for recognition in its financial statements. The Company's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof, as well as other factors. Generally, federal, state, and local authorities may examine the Company's tax returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, the respective tax returns for years prior to 2022 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.

## 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Fair value disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, clearing firm deposit, clearing firm receivable, other receivables, related party payable – parent, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

#### Segment Information

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASC 280"), that became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The additional disclosures required by ASC 280 are provided in Note 13 – Segment Information.

#### Note 9 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions.

# Note 10 – Concentrations and Uncertainties

As of December 31, 2025, 77% or \$118,072 of accounts receivable which have been included in other receivables in the statement of financial condition were from four clients, including 54% or \$82,025 from one client.

In the normal course of its business, the Company enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss due to changes in the market (market risk) or failures of the other parties to the transaction to perform (counterparty risk) exceeds the amounts recorded for the transaction.

The Company's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to the market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial, position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Company has a policy of reviewing the customers and/or other counterparties with which it conducts business.

The Company places its cash with quality institutions. Interest and non-interestbearing accounts are insured by the FDIC up to \$250,000 per financial institution. At times, the balances of interest-bearing accounts may be in excess of the insurance limits of the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

#### Note 12 – Contingencies

The Company provided a guarantee to the clearing broker, Pershing, that the Company agrees to indemnify the clearing broker for customers introduced by the company that are unable to satisfy the terms of their contract.

The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is subject to regulatory supervision by the SEC and FINRA. There are no pending regulatory inquiries that would have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.

## Note 13 – Segment Information

The Company operates as a broker-dealer and has one operating segment, as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company's business activities consist primarily of executing transactions for clients in equity securities and options on a riskless principal basis. 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 to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. 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. Because the Company has only one operating segment, no additional segment-level information is required under the provisions of ASC 280.

The accompanying Statement of Financial Condition presents all segment assets of this single reporting segment.

#### Note 14 – Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 27, 2026, the date these financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.
