The Company was formed to provide corporate finance and advisory services to small to medium size companies. Effective April 1, 2024, Esae Management Group, LLC, the sole member of the Company, sold 100% of its membership interest in the Company to APSEC Holdings, Inc. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company was renamed **APSEC Capital Partners LLC**. # **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** Accounting Basis of Presentation: These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with financial institutions without restrictions. As of December 31, 2025, the accounts contain \$0 above the federally insured limits of \$250,000. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition: *Significant Judgments –* Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from advisory services. 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 6 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. {10}------------------------------------------------ gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. *Advisory Fees* – The Company provides advisory services. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. # Property and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and have been fully depreciated. Depreciation is computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for buildings is the lesser of 30 years or the remaining life of the underlying building, up to five years for equipment, and the shorter of lease terms or ten years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization expenses on property and equipment were \$0 and \$0 during 2025. # Concentrations of Credit Risk: Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off-balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counter parties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities. The primary focus of the Company's investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. The Company's investment policy addresses the level of credit exposure by limiting the concentration in any one corporate issuer or sector. To manage risk exposure, the Company maintains its portfolio of cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. # Income Taxes: The Company is a limited liability company and as a result is a "disregarded entity" for U.S. Federal state and local income tax purposes by default. All earnings and profits are passed through to the members and are taxed based on their status. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes in made in the financial statements. {11}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTE 3 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company, as a registered broker-dealer in securities, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined, of no less than the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness and a maximum ratio aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 15-to-1. Also, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 17a-11, the Company must maintain 120% of its minimum net capital requirement. At December 31, 2025, the Company has net capital, as defined, of \$28,585, which was in excess of its required net capital by \$23,585. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 27.54% at December 31, 2025. # **NOTE 4 – 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, agency transactions, investment banking, investment advisory, and venture capital businesses. The Company has identified its Principal Financial Officer 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 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 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. # **NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** There are no commitments and contingencies as of December 31, 2025. # **NOTE 6 – COMPANY CONTINUATION** The Company had a loss year ending December 2025. Company's Managing Member has agreed to provide additional capital to Company as necessary for it to continue to operate and maintain compliance with the minimum net capital requirements. # **NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION** The Company was acquired by APSEC Holdings, Inc. The Company received FINRA approvals for the transaction on December 7, 2023 and the closing of the transaction occurred on December 10, 2023. There was no cash consideration for the transaction and the operations and management will continue under the new ownership. {12}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION** The Company's parent allocates certain expenses on a monthly basis for compensation and other operating, general and administrative expenses. These allocations were made via an intercompany amount due to the parent which is \$6,543 as of December 31, 2025. # **NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** Management has evaluated the Company's subsequent events and transactions that occurred through the date which financial statements were available to be issued and determined the Company has no events and transactions occurring that require disclosure or recognition. {13}------------------------------------------------ # **SCHEDULE I - COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL FOR BROKERS AND DEALERS December 31, 2025** | Total member's equity qualified for net
