### Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's business is national in scope.

The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company operates pursuant to Footnote74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to investment banking transactions. In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company is wholly owned by Quadriga Partners, LLC ("Partners"), Accordingly, this affiliation should be taken into consideration in reviewing the accompanying financial statements. The operating results could vary from those that would have been obtained had the Company operated independently.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the period presented in the financial statements. Substantially all assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"), as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

### 1. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") 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.

#### 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

#### 3 Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. The Company places its temporary cash investments with what management believes are high-credit, quality financial institutions.

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

### Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments 4.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2025 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

#### 5. Revenue Recognition

The Company has identified its Managing Member of the Parent, Jason Ficken, 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 Net Capital Report), 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 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. The Company had \$2,725,590 in revenue for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Transaction fees related to mergers, acquisitions, finders, and financing fees are recognized upon closing of the related transaction. These are reflected as "success fees" in the accompanying statement of operations. Advisory income is recognized as services are provided. Retainer Fees and Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company issues an invoice for expenses that are recognized on the statement of operations when the transaction is closed and may include travel, meals, data room, data bases, communications and other expenses .

#### 6. Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a limited liability company for income tax purposes. Accordingly, all taxable income and losses are reported in the income tax returns of the Company's member, and no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company applies guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this guidance, if taxing authorities were to disallow any tax positions taken by the Company, the additional income taxes, if any, would be imposed on the Company's member rather than the Company. Accordingly, there would be no effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company is subject to income tax return examinations by major taxing authorities for years since 2022.

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as other expenses. No interest or penalties have been assessed as of December 31, 2025.

The Company's net capital to aggregate indebtedness ratio was .16:1 as of December 31, 2025.

### Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of Management, the results of such pending litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the results of operations, the financial position or the cash flows of the Company. For the year ended and as of December 31, 2025, the Company is not involved in any legal actions, arbitration claims or guarantees that might result in a loss or future obligation.
