#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

KopenTech Capital Markets, LLC (the "Company") is wholly-owned by KopenTech, LLC (the "Member"). The Company is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of both the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investors Protection ("SIPC") since December 11, 2019. The operating agreement provides for the limited liability company to exist in perpetuity. The Member's limit on liability is based on the relevant state law. The Company operates an alternative trading system for subscribers interested in structured product investing and introduces trades to a clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis to assist customers in facilitating trades conducted on the platform.

#### 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statement of the Company has been prepared in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

#### Use of estimates

The preparation of the statement of financial conformity with U.S. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Cash

All of the Company's cash is held at Alex Brown Raymond James and Citibank.

#### Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance is based on management's estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected. Management determined that at December 31, 2025, an allowance for expected credit losses was not necessary.

#### Income taxes

As a wholly-owned single member limited liability company, the Company is considered to be a disregarded entity and thus does not file income tax returns in any jurisdiction. The Company files under the Member's consolidated tax return in which all items of income, expense, gains, and losses are reportable by the Member for tax purposes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025.

{7}------------------------------------------------

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

#### Uncertain tax positions

The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, "Income Taxes", as they relate to uncertain tax positions. The Company was not required to recognize any amounts from uncertain tax of December 31, 2025.

The Company's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. In the event that tax authorities assess interest and penalties on unefits, the Company will reflect such amounts in tax expense and income taxes payable.

#### Financial instruments - credit losses

In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," the ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an imparment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company must recognize as an allowance, its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses, if any. A broker-dealer's extimate of expected losses should consider the expected risk of credit loss even if that risk is remote, regardless of the method applied to estimate credit losses.

A broker-dealer, however, is not required to measure expected credit losset (or group of financial assets) in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and supportable forecasts in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is remote. For financial assets measured at amortized cost (i.e. cash, clearing broker deposit and receivable), the Company has concluded that there are no expected credit losses based on the nature or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic or expected losses.

#### Deposit with clearing broker

The Company, per the terms of its clearing agreement, is required to maintain a clearing broker. Such deposit is refundable to the Company upon termination of the agreement. As of December 31, 2025, this amount was \$500,000.

#### Receivable from clearing broker

The Company clears all security transactions through its clearing broker. Amounts earned are in the subsequent month. As a result, the Company considers the amounts due from its clearing broker to be fully collectible, and accordingly, no allowance has been established as of December 31, 2025, the amount due from the broker was \$25,216.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### 3. DUE FROM CLEARING BROKER

Pursuant to the agreement with its clearing broker, the Company is required to maintain a clearing deposit of \$500,000.

#### 4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company's cash deposits are held by two financial institutions and therefore are subject to credit those balances exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance limit of \$250,000. The Company's uninsured amount at December 31, 2025 was \$995,812. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

#### 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to an expense sharing agreement, the Company reimburses the Member for allocated salaries, rent and communication expenses paid for by the Member. These charges are updated periodically and determined based on percentages of personnel time and other factors. As of December 31, 2025, \$36,276 was due to the Member.

#### 6. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the uniform net capital requirements of Rule") of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires the Company to maintain, at all times, sufficient liquid assets to cover indebtedness. In accordance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain defined minimum net capital of the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$1,701,712, which exceeded the required minimum net capital of \$5,000 by \$1,696,712. Aggregate indebtedness at December 31, 2025, totaled \$69,316. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 4.07%.

The Company has an agreement with its clearing broker to clear securities transactions, carry customer accounts on a fullydisclosed basis and perform record keeping functions and accordingly, operates under the exemptive provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i). In addition, the operation of an alternative trading systems falls under the relief provided by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073.

#### 7. IDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies its clearing broker against specified potential losses in connection with its acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under this indemnification cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make payments and, as such, has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for this indemnification.

{9}------------------------------------------------

#### 8. LITIGATION

In 2023, the Company was named as a co-defendant where the complaint asserts wrongful termination of an employee. After several motions in 2025, Discovery has been served, but the case is not yet at issue. No trial date has been set in light of the preliminary motions. The Company denies the allegations and counsel intends to vigorously defend the Company's interests. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of losses related to these matters. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor these proceedings and will recognize a liability if and when a loss becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

#### 9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company is engaged in a single liness as a securities broker-dealer, which operates an alternative trading system for subscribers interested in structured product investing and introduces trades to a clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis to assist customers in facilitating trades conducted on the platform. The Company has identified its Chief as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), 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 (see Note 6), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital as whether to remvest 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 those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

#### 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Company has evaluated events and transactions that have occurred through February 20, 2026, the date this financial statement was issued and determined that there are no material events that would require in the Company's financial statements.
