### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

#### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies**

#### Nature of Business

CGIS Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 24, 2010. The Company is wholly owned by CGIS Holdings, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company's operations consist primarily of introducing customer accounts on a fully disclosed basis to its clearing broker. The Company does not maintain customer accounts. The Company also acts as a selling group member in the distribution of capital markets transactions.

The Company is a broker-dealer formed under the Securities Exchange Act and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company received approval of its membership in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc, ("FINRA") in August 2011.

#### Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

#### Cash

Cash consists of deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, that are not segregated and deposited for regulatory purposes.

#### Revenue Recognition

All revenues are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which is recognized when: (i) a contract with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation.

The Company's revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services. The majority of the Company's performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time and are typically collected from customers by debiting their brokerage account with the Company. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchase is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

Commission income is earned by providing trade facilitation, execution, clearance and settlement, custody, and trade administration services to customers. Acting as an agent, commission income is generated by the trade execution from the Company's clients' purchases and sales of securities, either on exchanges or over-the-counter, through the purchases of various investment products such as mutual funds, fixed income, options and commodity transactions. In return for such services, the broker dealer charges a commission. Revenues recognized under commission income consist of one performance obligation which is satisfied on trade date. Trade execution performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

#### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**

#### Revenue Recognition (continued)

Commission income also includes mutual fund fee revenue which is a residual commission and is recorded over time as earned. Trailing commission revenue is generally based on a percentage of the current market value of the clients' investment holdings in trail-eligible assets. As trailing commission revenue is based on the market value of the clients' investment holdings, this variable consideration is constrained until the market value is determinable. Trailing commission revenues (commissions that are paid over time, such as 12(b)-1 fees) are recurring in nature and are earned based on the market value of investment holdings in trail eligible assets.

The Company buys and sells securities over-the-counter in their capacity as a dealer and as part of positioning strategies that attempt to generate profits by anticipating future market movements. Profit or loss for these Company's transactions is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value, which, like the underlying trading securities, is recorded on a trade-date basis. Revenues recognized under principal transactions consist of one performance obligation which is satisfied on trade date. Trade execution performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. There were no principal transactions in 2025.

Underwriting and selling group fees are earned from revenue arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as a selling group member. Revenue is recognized on the trade date (the date on which the Company purchases the securities from the issuer) for the portion the Company is contracted to buy. The Company believes that the trade date is the appropriate point in time to recognize revenue for securities underwriting transactions as there are no significant actions which the Company needs to take subsequent to this date. There were no underwriting and selling group fees earned in 2025.

Insurance based fees are earned from revenue arising from the sale of insurance products in which the Company acts as an agent. Revenue is recognized on the trade date (the date of the contract terms). The Company believes that the trade date is the appropriate point in time to recognize revenue for insurance-based transactions as there are no significant actions which the Company needs to take subsequent to this date. There were no insurance based fees earned in 2025.

The Company earns trading income through firm trading also referred to as proprietary trading income. Profit or loss for these transactions is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value, which, like the underlying trading securities, is recorded on a trade-date basis. The realized and unrealized gains/(losses) securities are reported net of expenses on the accompanying statement of operations on December 31, 2025. Trading income is not within the scope of ASC 606.

#### Due from/to Clearing Broker

In accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, the Company's receivables from clearing organizations include amounts receivable from unsettled trades, including amounts related to futures and options on futures contracts executed on behalf of customers, amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver, accrued interest receivables and cash deposits. A portion of the Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled daily between the clearing organization and the Company. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with receivables from clearing brokers and other receivables is not significant until they are 120 days past due based on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. Accordingly, the Company has not provided an allowance for credit losses at December 31,

2025. The Company has \$634,220 due from the clearing broker at December 31, 2025 reflected within the statement of financial condition.

#### Valuation of Investments in Securities and Securities at Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy

In accordance with GMP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GMP, 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 be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entityspecific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced

for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Owned, at Fair Value

Securities owned are valued at market. As of December 31 , 2025, the Company's account held at its clearing broker of \$2,908,808 was invested in US Treasury Bills and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

#### Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization as follows:

| Asset                      | Useful Life | Estimated<br>Principal Method |
|----------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------|
| Office and other equipment | 5 years     | Straight-line                 |
| Furniture & fixtures       | 5 years     | Straight-line                 |
| Computer hardware          | 3 years     | Straight-line                 |

Property and equipment with a cost basis of \$76,600 was fully depreciated as of December 31, 2025.There was no depreciation and amortization in 2025.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, generally would not incur income taxes or have any unrecognized tax benefits. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the tax return of its member and taxed depending on the Member's tax situation. As a result, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes and measures tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in expenses.

The U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Florida are the major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. Federal or State examinations by tax authorities for years beginning before 2022.

{10}------------------------------------------------

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

#### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

#### Segment Reporling

The Company has one reportable segment: Brokerage, which generates revenue from customers by charging fees, commissions, and other income for the services it provides to its customers. Such revenue streams are further described earlier in this footnote disclosure under the Revenue Recognition caption. In connection with this, the Company has identified the CEO as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business and how to allocate resources based on net income in managing the operations of the Company. Additionally, the CODM may also use excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy to meet the Company's regulatory requirements, such as whether to reinvest profits or declare distributions to the member's. The measurement of segment income, expenses, and net income (loss) reviewed by the CODM is reported in the accompanying statement of operations. The measurement of segment assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying statement of financial condition as total assets and total liabilities. 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.

#### **2. Net capital requirement**

The Company is a member of FINRA and is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. The Company has elected to compute its net capital requirement pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-1, which requires minimum net capital of \$250,000. At December 31, 2025, the Company's net capital was \$1,824,598 which was \$1,574,598 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$250,000.

#### **3. Off-balance sheet risk**

Pursuant to a clearance agreement, the Company introduces all of its securities transactions to a clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis. All of the customers' money balances and long and short security positions are carried on the books of the clearing broker. In accordance with the clearance agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing broker for losses, if any, which the clearing broker may sustain from carrying securities transactions introduced by the Company. In accordance with industry practice and regulatory requirements, the Company and the clearing broker monitor collateral on the customers' accounts.

In addition, the receivables from clearing broker are pursuant to the clearance agreement and includes a clearing deposit of \$271,374.

{11}------------------------------------------------

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

#### **4. Concentrations of credit risk**

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and the Company has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss.

The Company maintains its cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company's account balances that are non-interest bearing accounts are subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act"). The Company's interest bearing cash balances may exceed the FDIC coverage of \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash.

### **5. Exemption from rule 15c3-3**

The Company is exempt from the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-3 and, therefore, is not required to maintain a "Special Reserve Bank Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers". In addition, the Company has an introducing agreement with a Clearing Broker and is therefore exempt pursuant to section (k)(2)(ii).

#### **6. Related party transactions**

Pursuant to an expense sharing agreement, the Parent provides occupancy of office space to the Company.The amount owed by the Company to the Parent was \$8,088 at December 31, 2025 reflected within due to related parties in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

Pursuant to a sub-clearing agreement, the Company introduces an affiliated entity's customers to the Company's clearing broker. The amount owed by the Company to the affiliate was \$107,252 at December 31, 2025 reflected within due to related parties in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

The Company made payments on behalf of its Parent (the taxpayer) for tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the amount of \$659,998 was reflected within due from related party in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

#### **7. Employee loans and advances**

The Company issued non-interest bearing advances to one of its employees due on demand. The balance of \$31,601 is included in employee loans and advances reflected within the accompanying statement of financial condition. The Company issued advances due from registered representatives on commissions. The balance of \$10,000 is included in employee loans and advances reflected within the accompanying statement of financial condition as of December 31 , 2025.

#### **8. Commitments and contingencies**

The Company is exposed to various asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations

{12}------------------------------------------------

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

#### **9. Subsequent events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 27, 2026, whereupon the financial statements were issued.
