#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Alternative Execution Group (the "Company") became a registered securities broker-dealer on December 4, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), Securities Investors Protection Corporation ("SIPC"), and New York Stock Exchange Archipelago Exchange ("NYSE Arca").

The Company, under Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii), is exempt from the reserve and possession or control requirements of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not carry or clear customer accounts. Accordingly, all customer transactions are executed and cleared on behalf of the Company by its clearing organization on a fully disclosed basis. The Company's agreement with its clearing firm provides that as clearing organization, that firm will make and keep such records of the transactions effected and cleared in the customer accounts as are customarily made and kept by a clearing organization pursuant to the requirements of Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). The clearing organization also prepares and distributes customer's confirmation and statements, as well as performing maintenance margin requirements under the Act and the rules of the Self-Regulatory Organizations of which the Company is a member.

The Company's primary revenue streams derive from principal trading and market making services in over-the-counter equity securities to other broker-dealers as well as trading execution services to institutional investors and high net worth individuals. The Company maintains markets in over-the-counter equities, including but not limited to National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") and non-NASDAQ securities. The Company also earns commissions from executing client transactions.

# 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

# Basis of Presentation Use of Estimates

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 in determining reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities transactions and related spread and commission revenues are recorded on a trade date basis, since that is when the underlying financial instrument is identified, the pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and returns of ownership have been transferred. Realized and unrealized trading gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations.

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

### ALTERNATIVE EXECUTION GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

## Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains a checking and savings account at the same institution. The Company also maintains deposit accounts and highly liquid investments at custodian banks. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to \$250,000. The Company's accounts at these institutions may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. Cash deposited with a single brokerage institution are insured up to \$500,000 by the Securities Investors Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts.

## Due from Broker-Dealers and Clearing Firm

At December 31, 2024, the amount due from broker-dealers and clearing firm represents both cash maintained in a segregated account in the name of the Company as well as trading and commission income receivable at the clearing organization, Apex Clearing Corporation. The balance also includes cash maintained at another broker- dealer.

## Clearing Firm Deposit

The Company is required to maintain a deposit of \$250,000 under the terms of its fully disclosed clearing agreement with Apex Clearing Corporation.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is organized as a New York Limited Liability Company ("LLC") and all tax effects of the Company are passed through to the members. No provision or liability for Federal income taxes is included in these financial statements.

#### Translation of Foreign Currencies

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year-end rates of exchange, whereas the income statement accounts are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

#### Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by GAAP, are used to measure fair value.

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

### ALTERNATIVE EXECUTION GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

# 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

#### Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1. Quoted prices in an inactive market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable;

Level 3. Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable, that reflect management's own assumptions.

#### Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company provides market making and trade execution services in liquid, over-thecounter equity securities that have a ready market.

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024:

| Assets            | Fair Value |            |    | Level 1                      |                                             | Level 2 |    | Level 3 |

#### Segment reporting

The FASB issued (ASU) 2023-07, "Segment Reporting" (Topic 280) which increased disclosure requirements regarding a public entity's reportable segments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. ASU 2023-07 requires incremental line-item disclosures about each reportable segment's expenses as well as profit and losses.

The Company has evaluated the guidance there under and has determined that The Company operates as one operating segment. For further discussion refer to Footnote 5, Reportable Segments.

{13}------------------------------------------------

# 3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's uniform net capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum amount of net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined shall not exceed 15 to 1.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$2,192,356, which exceeded the required minimum net capital by \$2,036,856. Aggregate indebtedness at December 31, 2024 totaled \$2,055,079. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .93 to 1.

The Company is exempt from Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under paragraph (k)(2)(ii).

# 4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In the normal course of business, the Company's activities through its clearing organization 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 a customer fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing market prices in order to fulfil the customer's obligations.

In addition, the Company bears the risk of financial failure by its clearing organization. If the clearing organization should cease doing business, the Company's receivable from this clearing organization could be the subject to forfeiture.

The Company's financial instruments, including cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, commissions and salaries payable and due to broker are carried at amounts that approximate fair value, due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

# 5. ARRANGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEE

As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintains an arrangement with a registered representative. The employee's trading commissions are partially retained as a reserve (\$810,000) to cover potential regulatory or legal liabilities attributable to their activities, with adjustments recorded against compensation expense. The Company advanced \$1,000,000 to the employee, bearing interest at 0.5% per month, recorded as a loan receivable of \$1,046,777 (net of repayments from earnings). Total accrued payroll owed to the employee is \$1,878,009, reflecting unpaid commissions net of the reserve and advances. The reserve serves as collateral for the loan, and the arrangement is periodically adjusted based on the employee's trading production.

{14}------------------------------------------------

#### ALTERNATIVE EXECUTION GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### 6. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprised of multiple classes of services, including principal trading, market making services, and execution services. The Company has identified its President as its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM predominately 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 profit and loss of the segment as the same as those described in Footnote 2, summary of significant accounting policies.

## 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Company has performed an evaluation of events that have occurred since December 31, 2024 and through March X, 2025, the date these financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in this report or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
