## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds maintained in checking and money market accounts held at financial institutions. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents as of year end.

The Company's cash is held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has placed these funds in a high quality institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a disregarded entity and has no direct federal, state, or city tax liabilities through September 30, 2025.

The Company has adopted the tax provisions of Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes which prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, and interest and penalties. Under this guidance, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. At September 30, 2025, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing re-evaluation as facts and circumstances may require.

#### Revenue Recognition - ASC 606

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, which requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows 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 a performance obligation. Deferred revenues will a future period corresponding with the dates the specified obligations are satisfied.

Placement Agent Fees are fees that the Company earns for acting as a broker between two parties, a seller and a buyer. Placement Agent Fees are earned at a point in time on a trade date basis as transactions are closed when the buyer obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point.

Advisory Fees are earned for providing general investor-related advice outside of the placements agent process. Fees are billed and recognized as income over time as services are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. For the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company had placement agent fees but not advisory fee revenue.

#### Allowance for Credit Losses

ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g. based on the credit quality of the underlying asset or entity).

For financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g. cash and accounts receivable), the Company has evaluated the expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets, credit quality of the counter party and immaterial historic and expected losses. The Company concluded that there are de minimus expected credit losses and did not record a reserve for its cash balances. The Company continually monitors these estimates over the life of the related assets.

#### Segment Reporting

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"). ASC 280 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to provide all annual disclosures about reportable segment profit or loss and assets as required by ASC 280 for interim periods.

In accordance with ASC 280, the Company is required to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items including a description of the composition. Additionally, ASC 280 requires the Company to disclose the title and position of the CODM along with an explanation of how the CODM uses reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASC 280 also requires the Company to clarify if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

#### 8. Reporting Segment

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised private placements. As described in FASB ASU 2023-07, ASC 280, operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"). The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews net loss and expenses presented on a basis consistent with the presentation of the statement of operations for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The measure of segment assets is reported on the statement of financial condition as total assets. As a result, the Company in its entirety is a single reportable segment. The accounting policies of the Company's single reportable segment are the same as those described in this Note 2. Refer to Note 1 for a description of the single segment's business.

#### 8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between October 1, 2025 and January 20, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements.
