Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies** #### Nature of Business Telsey Advisory Group LLC (the "Company") is a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 28, 2008. The Company's operations consist primarily of generating and distributing financial equity research to institutions, providing investment banking services and institutional trading. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company became a registered broker-dealer in March 2009. ## Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). ## Segment Reporting The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which consist primarily of generating and distributing financial equity research to institutions, providing investing banking services and institutional trading. The Company has identified its Chief Operating Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net loss to evaluate the results of the business and manage the Company. 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 profits or pay distributions. 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 measure of segment assets is reported on the statement of financial condition as total assets at December 31 , 2025. ## Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which , at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. ## Accounts Receivable The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for credit losses. ## Allowance for Credit Losses In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), certain financial assets measured at amortized cost are required to have a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial assets as of the reporting date. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including fees receivable and receivable from clearing broker utilizing the CECL framework. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with fees receivable and receivable from clearing broker is that any client or financial institution with which it conducts business with is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025** #### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)** Management monitors the credit risk of clients and currently there is not a foreseeable expectation of an event or change which could result in these receivables being unpaid based on individual facts and circumstances. 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 expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company has no allowance for credit losses as of December 31 , 2025. #### Receivable from Clearing Broker The Company has a clearing agreement with Mirae Asset Securities (USA), Inc. The Clearing Broker clears the Company's security transactions, and the Company is required to maintain certain deposits with the Clearing Broker. ## Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value , the Company uses various valuation techniques. 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 are to be used when available. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market or income approach are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: - Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; - Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and - Level 3: Unobservable inputs for an asset and liability. Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, liquidity statistics and other factors. If the inputs used to measure a financial instrument fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement of that financial instrument. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Company's perceived risk of that instrument. Debt securities are generally valued using broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources on the last business day of the year. Many over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the marketplace participants are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the marketplace participants are willing to accept for an asset. For securities whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Company's valuation policies do not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The Company's policy for securities traded in the OTC markets and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are generally valued at their last reported "bid" price if held long, and last reported "ask" price if sold short. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied , they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025** ## **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)** The following table summarizes the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31 , 2025. | Financial instruments | Total | Le vel 1 | | Le vel2 | Le vel3 | |-------------------------------------|------------------|----------|----|------------|--------------------------------------------| | Assets | | | | | | | Debt Securities: | | | | | | | Government (Municipal, Treasury) | \$

==================================== | | | | | | | | At December 31 , 2025, the carrying value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments in accordance with US GAAP, such as accounts receivable, receivable from clearing broker, securities pledged under subordinated loan agreement, due from Parent, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and are categorized as Level 2 assets and liabilities. ## Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment, net, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided for utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: | | Estimated | |-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Asset | Useful Lives | | Computer and office equipment | 3 years | | Furniture and fixtures | 5 years | | Website development | 3 years | | Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the economic useful life | | | of improvements or the term of the lease | ## Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statement in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's 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 statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ## Soft Dollar Payables The Company ensures that all payments made on behalf of customers qualify for the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that customers have appropriately disclosed and received approval from investors to pay for services outside of the Section 28(e) safe harbor. {9}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025** ## **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)** #### Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, accordingly, there is no provision for federal and state income taxes as the net income or loss of the Company is included in the income tax returns of the individual members. The Company is subject to New York City Unincorporated Business Tax and has elected the New York State, Maryland, and Illinois entity tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 **("PTET").** The **PTET** allows pass-through entities to elect to pay Maryland and Illinois tax due on the members' share of net income of the Company. The Company follows an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The determination of the Company's provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company's financial statement only after determining a more-likelythan-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from tax authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statement as appropriate. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At December 31 , 2025, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. The Company's conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company files its income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and local jurisdictions. Any potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state and local tax laws. The Company's management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2025** ## **2.
