#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Senior Management and Member of Intrepid Investment Bankers LLC

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Intrepid Investment Bankers LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Report on Supplemental Schedules

The accompanying supplemental schedules of Computation of Net Capital For Brokers And Dealers Pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 For The Year Ended December 31, 2025, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirement For Brokers and Dealers Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 For The Year Ended December 31, 2025, and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements for Brokers and Dealers Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 For The Year Ended December 31, 2025, (collectively "the supplemental schedules") have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in compliance with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

February 13, 2026 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

|----------------------------|----|--------------|
| Receivables booked         |    | 10,887,572   |
| Amounts collected          |    | (10,490,353) |

Income Taxes The Company is a single-member limited liability company that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. tax purposes and is ultimately wholly owned by the Parent. The income or is reported in the income tax return of the Parent and no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company, as a single-member LLC, is not allocated income taxes from the Parent because it does not have a taxsharing agreement.

Revenues from contracts with customers The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), restructurings, and capital raising. Revenue is recognized from contracts with customers according to a five-step revenue recognition model: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize customers generally contain a single performance obligation or separately identified performance obligations, each with a stated transaction price, and generally do not involve a significant timing difference between satisfaction of the performance obligation and customer payment.

Revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. This requires management to make judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognition. However, the recognition of contingent fees is constrained until substantially all services have been provided, specified conditions have been met and it is probable that a revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.
