Organization and Nature of the Business Eastgate Securities, LLC (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware in July 2006. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company conducted the following business activities according to the membership agreement with FINRA: - a) Private placement of securities. - b) Provide merger and acquisitions services. - c) Underwriter or selling group participant (corporate securities other than mutual funds) firm commitment offering. - 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ## a) Basis of Accounting The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ## b) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds maintained in checking and money market accounts held at financial institutions. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has placed these funds in high-quality financial institutions in order to mitigate the risk of loss from exceeding insured limits. ## c) Revenue Recognition Revenues include fees arising from client offerings in which the Company acts as a placement agent. Revenue earned when acted as placement agent is earned when the performance obligation is satisfied which is evidenced by the funds being delivered to the Company's clients from investors. Revenues also include fees earned from providing financial consulting services. Consulting service income is considered earned and performance obligations are met when the Company has completed provided advice, conducted research, and liaise with other certain service providers, these services maybe recognized over the completion of certain benchmarks. Fees received are not typically refundable. The Company typically receives payment after it has started rendering services; however, it is typically much prior to completion of the entire engagement. {11}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_11_Picture_0.jpeg) #### d) Income Taxes The LLC is treated as a disregarded entity and has no federal or state tax liabilities. Any liability on profits is reported on the tax return of the parent entity and passed along to the individual members. The tax years since inception remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the LLC is subject. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements. The Company is required to file income tax returns in both state and city tax jurisdictions. The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction. The statute for limitations for state purposes is generally three years, but may exceed this limitation depending upon the jurisdiction involved. Returns that were filed within the applicable statute remain subject to examination. As of December 31, 2025, state and city taxing authorities have not proposed any adjustment to the Company's tax position. #### e) 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. f Allowance for Credit Losses The Company applies a loss-rate methodology to estimate its allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivables are evaluated based on customers' financial condition, historical collection experience, and adjustments for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic performance, when applicable. Under this approach, the Company estimates expected credit losses using historical loss rates, adjusted for forward-looking information as appropriate. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no allowance for credit losses was required. #### g) Segment Reporting The FASB issued (ASU) 2023-07, "Segment Reporting" (Topic 280) which increased disclosure requirements regarding a public entity's reporting segments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. ASU 2023-07 required incremental line-item disclosures about each reportable segment's expenses as well as profit and losses. The Company has evaluated the guidance there under and has determined that the Company operates as one reporting segment. For further discussion refer to Footnote 6, Reportable Segments. {12}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_12_Picture_0.jpeg) ## 3. Commitments and Contingencies The Company had no commitments, no contingent liabilities and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit on December 31, 2025 or during the year then ended. #### a) Leases The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 Leases. The company entered into a six-month lease of office space with Jay Suites at 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005, starting on October 1, 2024 and expiring on March 31, 2025 with monthly rent payable for six months. A security deposit was placed with Jay Suites for the duration of the lease and subject to the terms, will be refundable upon the expiration of the lease. As of December 31, 2025, the company does not have any other lease obligations. #### b) Related Party Transactions The Company has had an expense-sharing agreement with its Parent for the year ended December 31, 2025, during which the Company's Parent pay and record some of its operating expenses directly according to the expense sharing agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Parent did not allocate any expenses to the Company. #### c) Guarantees FASB ASC 460, Guarantees, requires the Company to disclose information about its obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. FASB ASC 460 defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying factor (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity 81Page {13}------------------------------------------------ ## EASTGATE price, an index or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. This guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. The Company has issued no guarantees on December 31, 2025, or during the year then ended. #### 4. Net Capital Requirement The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (1Sc3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 1500%. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$221,318 which was \$121,318 over its required net capital of \$100,000. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 8.90%. #### 5. Going Concern The Company has a net loss of \$31,921 for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, the Company is currently not operating on a going concern basis due to its net capital level for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management has plans to grow net profitability and preserve the excess capital level. The Parent asserts to provide financial support, as needed, to the Company for the foreseeable future, which would most likely consist of additional capital contributions as needed. #### 6. Reportable Segments The Company is engaged in a single line of business as asecurities broker-dealer. The Company has identified its CEO as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who evaluates the Company's performance primarily based on revenue and expenses, particularly in the forecasting process, to manage operations. In addition, the CODM considers excess net capital (see Note 4), which is not a measure of profit or loss, in making operational decisions related to capital management, such as reinvestment of earnings or distributions. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and, accordingly, a single reportable segment, as the CODM manages the business using financial information. The accounting policies used to measure segment results are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies #### 7. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the statement of financial condition date for items requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. The evaluation was performed through March 31, 2026, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company has determined that there were no events which took place that would have a material impact on its financial statements. {14}------------------------------------------------ # Schedule I # COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | | |------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | Net capital, members' equity | \$ 228,172 | | Less nonallowable assets
