ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS eToro USA Securities Inc. (the "Company" or "we"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of eToro US Trading LLC (the "Parent"), which is ultimately owned by eToro Group Ltd. The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company currently operates in one reportable business segment which represents principally all of the Company's capital markets activity as a brokerdealer. The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business and to manage the Company predominantly in the forecasting and planning process. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 9), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy and liquidity for operations. 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 the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (See note 2). The measure of total segment assets used by the CODM is total assets as reported on the statement of financial condition. The Company operates as a non-exchange member and is approved to operate as a fully disclosed introducing broker-dealer brokering online transactions using mobile technology in listed equities, listed options, and exchange traded funds (ETFs) for retail users. Retail users have electronic access to the Company's trading platform, transactions are unsolicited and the Company works in an agency capacity, executing and clearing transactions through its clearing broker, Apex Clearing Corporation ("Apex"). The Company has a fractional shares program which allows customers to purchase and sell stock based on a dollar amount they select rather than the price of a whole share. This may be particularly advantageous for customers who are working with limited capital but want to build a highly diversified portfolio. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES # Basis of presentation The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). {7}------------------------------------------------ # Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statement in accordance 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 statement. The Company based its estimates on historical experience, anticipated future trends and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, which together form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. expenses and amortizes these items over the contract terms. These prepaid expenses # Cash and cash equivalents Cash includes cash deposits at banks. The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. # Prepaid expenses The Company classifies prepayments made under contracts as prepaid may include items such as insurance, regulatory fees, web services, data feeds and subscriptions. # Due from Clearing broker The Company introduces its customers on a fully disclosed basis to Apex. Balances in firm accounts at the clearing broker, excluding deposit accounts, that are due to the Company are recorded as due from clearing broker on the statement of financial condition. # Fractional Shares The Company offers customers the ability to purchase fractional shares facilitated by our clearing broker-dealer allowing users to purchase stocks on a dollar basis instead of a quantity basis. We do not own or control the stock inventory associated with the fractional program and therefore do not recognize the shares on the statement of financial condition. # Deposit with clearing broker The Company holds deposits with its clearing broker as part of its introducing and clearing broker arrangements. These funds earn interest which are credited to the Company's deposit account with the clearing broker. {8}------------------------------------------------ NOTE 3.
