In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prairie Capital Markets, LLC as of September 30, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### Basis for Opinion This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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. We have served as Prairie Capital Markets, LLC's auditor since 2023.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prairie Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"). The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company's principal business activity is consulting services. Basis of Presentation - The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Recognition of Revenue – The Company follows revenue recognition guidance that requires an entity to follow a five step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenue on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer. The indicators of which party exercises control include primary responsibility over performance obligations and discretion in establishing the price. Single Reportable Segment - The Company operates as a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of investment banking and advisory work. The Company has identified its Chief Compliance Officer as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") as specified in ASU 2023-07, 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, 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 reporting 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. Company management reviewed the ASU 2023-07 disclosure requirements and determined that no additional disclosures are required as the Company has only a single reportable segment. {6}------------------------------------------------ # NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION # YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 #### NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – *(Continued)* Consulting Fee Revenue – Consulting fee revenue consists primarily of ESOP, Merger/Acquisition and financial advisory fees. The Company earns revenue from its clients based upon the progress of the project. The progress of the project is evaluated quarterly based on: costs and hours charged to the engagement, project manager discussions and project status, to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Receivables and Credit Losses - The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326- 20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that adjusts the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense, if applicable. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In the opinion of management at September 30, 2025, all receivable from broker/dealers, concessions and fees receivable, and note receivable were considered collectable and no allowance for credit losses was necessary. Significant Judgments - 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; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. Concentration of Cash - The Company's cash is on deposit at one financial institution and the balance at times may exceed the federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ## YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 ## NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – *(Continued)* Leases - The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. At September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any lease obligations. #### NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As previously noted, the Company is wholly owned by Prairie Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"). The Company is also affiliated with Prairie Capital Advisors, Inc. ("Advisors") through common ownership. There were no transactions between the Company and Advisors. The company shares office space, employees, and other overhead expenses with its Parent. In accordance with a written agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Parent an amount equal to 2% of the costs that the Parent has incurred for these shared expenses. The expenses incurred to the Parent during the year ended September 30, 2025, pursuant to the agreement are as follows: | Expense | Amount | |----------------|------------| | Compensation | \$ 166,740 | | Occupancy | 15,951 | | Other expenses | 48,957 | | Total | \$ 231,648 | At any time, the Parent has the authority to forgive payment and treat that amount as a non-cash contribution to the Company. There were no non-cash contributions during the year ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, \$19,936 was due to the Parent, as stated in the statement of financial condition. #### NOTE 3 – CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (deferred revenue) on the balance sheet. The beginning and ending contract balances were as follows: | | 2025 | 2024 | |------------------|--------------|------------| | Receivables | \$
45,250 | \$ 100,000 | | Contract Assets | - | 68,500 | | Deferred Revenue | \$
- | \$ 100,000 | {8}------------------------------------------------ ## NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ## YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 #### NOTE 4 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS As a registered broker/dealer and member of the FINRA, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 1500%. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change from day to day, but at September 30, 2025, the Company had net capital and a net capital requirement of \$298,392 and \$5,000, respectively. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 12.42%. #### NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES As a single member limited liability company, the Company is not recognized for federal and state income tax purposes as a taxable entity. Therefore, income taxes are the responsibility of the individual shareholders of the Parent. The Company accounts for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as other expense. The Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for federal, state, or local income taxes for periods before 2021. ## NOTE 6 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS For the year ended September 30, 2025, approximately 71% of total revenue was derived from two customers. There is no balance due from these customer's at September 30, 2025. #### NOTE 7 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS In regard to ASC Topic 606, revenue has been disaggregated on the Statement of Operations. For presentation purposes, revenue on the Statement of Operations is disaggregated further than what was presented on the FOCUS filings. No further disaggregation is warranted at September 30, 2025. #### NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued, noting none.
