## PELOTON SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

## Note 1 - Organization

Peloton Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company was organized in May of 2019 as a New Hampshire limited liability company. The firm's membership with FINRA became effective on April 1, 2020. The Company provides **M&A** advisory services to clients.

# Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

# Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a broker-dealer which is investment banking services.

## Cash and Cash Equivalents

The company considers cash on deposit and money market accounts with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash balances held at financial institutions may be in excess of balances insured by FDIC.

## Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606") which 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.

The Company typically enters into contracts with clients calling for periodic advisory fees to be paid during the term of the arrangement, and a success fee to be paid out once the transaction is successfully completed as defined in the customer agreement. The success fee is typically based on a percentage of the total consideration of the transaction, although in certain cases it may be a flat fee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes advisory fees in the period earned with separate revenue recognition once each transaction is finalized. All revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 is related to success fee income.

# Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

#### Income Taxes

As a result of the Company's organization as a limited liability company, federal and state taxation generally does not occur at the Company level, because the Company's taxable income or loss is allocated to its members, with the exception of taxes due to New Hampshire. Tax payments of \$11,500 for New Hampshire are recorded in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company believes it has appropriate support for income tax positions taken and to be taken on tax returns for all open tax years.

The Company has evaluated the positions taken on its tax returns filed and the potential impact on its tax status as of December 31, 2025. The Company has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist for the tax years 2024 and 2025.

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

## Note 3 - Net Capital Requirements

As a broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Uniform Net Capital Rule). The Company computes its net capital under the aggregate indebtedness method which requires the Company to maintain minimal net capital, as defined, equal to or greater of 6.67% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, or \$5,000. At December 31, 2025 the Company had net capital of \$45,310 which was in excess of its requirement of \$5,000 by \$40,310.

## Note 4 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company had no commitments, nor contingent liabilities and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2025 or during the year then ended.

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

## PELOTON SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

## Note 5 - Related Party Transactions

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with a related entity under common control. Under this agreement, the related party provides rent, utilities, software and salaries. The Company is not required to repay these expenses. Total expenses under this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 were \$486,750 of which \$286,750 represented salaries and benefits, \$168,000 in rent and \$32,000 represented software cost reimbursement. There was no reimbursement for utilities. No amount was owed to this entity at December 31, 2025. Results of operations for the Company may not be indicative of the results that would have been realized if the Company was not working directly with the related entity. No amount is receivable from this related entity at December 31, 2025.

## Note 6 - Concentrations

In 2025, 2 customers accounted for 100% of advisory fees. There were no accounts receivable from these customers as of December 31, 2025.

# Note 7 - Segment Reporting

The Company's investment banking segment derives revenues from customers for investment banking fees. The accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the investment banking segment based on net income as reported on the income statement and segment assets as reported as total assets on the balance sheet.

The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into this segment or other areas, such as acquisitions or paying dividends. Net income is used to monitor, among other things, budget vs actual result, competitive analysis, and benchmarking. The Company has one reportable segment: investment banking fees as the primary source of its revenue. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the CEO & President.

## Note 8 - Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events that require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
