#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members of Proof Services, LLC

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Proof Services, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in members' equity, and cash flows for then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement to the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Supplemental Information

The information contained in Schedules I, II and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental in the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information in Schedules I, II and III reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the accompanying schedules. In forming our opinion on the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented

{6}------------------------------------------------

in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the aforementioned supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Proof Services, LLC (the "Company") began operations on October 16, 2019, and is registered as an introducing broker with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA). The Company has contractual agreements with two clearing brokers. The clearing brokers carry the accounts of the Company's customers on their books. The Company earns commissions from transactions conducted by other broker dealers/institutions whose users employ the technologies/software offered by one of the Company's members, Proof Trading, Inc. As a limited liability company, the members' liability is limited to their investment.

#### NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

#### Use of Estimates

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

#### Cash

The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

#### Accounts Receivable

 Accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing uncollateralized obligation receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each customer. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for credit losses, as necessary, to reflect management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Based on the Company's

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

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 review, an allowance for credit losses has been established in the amount of \$18,984 at December 31,2024.

#### Clearing Agreements

The Company has agreements with clearing brokers to execute and clear, on a fully disclosed basis, customer accounts of the Company. In accordance with these agreements, the Company is required to maintain deposits in cash or securities. Amounts receivable from the Company's clearing brokers at December 31, 2024 consist of commissions receivable and funds held in various accounts. The receivable is considered fully collectable at December 31, 2024 and no allowance is required.

The payable to the clearing broker arises from clearing costs in excess of commissions and fees earned with respect to one of the Company's clearing agreements.

#### Revenue Recognition

 Revenue from contracts with customers includes commissions and fees from customers. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company provides equity trade execution services and earns commissions and fees from its contracts with U.S. institutional asset managers such as mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, and other broker-dealers. Commissions and fees are transaction based and are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed. Commissions and fees revenues and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, income taxes are not payable by, or provided for, the Company as members are taxed individually on their shares of the Company's earnings.

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

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status, including its status as a passthrough entity, and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

#### Accounting for Incentive Units

The Company accounts for profit interest awards in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), and classifies them as equity instruments based on the terms and conditions present within the agreement.

#### Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between December 31, 2024, the date the financial statements were issued.

#### NOTE 3 – PROFIT INTERESTS

 The Company entered into a profit interest agreement on December 8, 2022 that granted 5,100 units of the Company to the President of the Company. The units constitute profits interests that will participate in future distributions by the Company to the extent that such distributions represent distributions of profit from operations of the Company realized after the grant of such units as determined by the Board of Directors and only after all outstanding capital contributions have been paid back to Proof Trading, Inc. The fair value of the units at the grant date was determined to be zero based upon the Company's analysis and the units have not been modified during the year ended December 31,2024.

#### NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has an Expense Sharing Agreement (ESA) in place with Proof Trading, Inc. Under the terms of the ESA, the Company pays Proof Trading, Inc. monthly fees for personnel services, and the use of office facilities, technology, and communications. Allocated expenses to the Company under the ESA amounted to approximately \$741,919 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The balance due to member on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from the ESA with Proof Trading, Inc.

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

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company earns commissions and fees from transactions conducted by other broker dealers/institutions whose users employ the technologies/software offered by Proof Trading, Inc.

Financial position and results of operations could differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these related party transactions did not exist.

#### NOTE 5 – CONCENTRATIONS

During 2024, the Company had two customers that accounted for approximately 41% of commissions and fees revenue. Approximately 95% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 is due from one customer.

#### NOTE 6 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum 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 of \$1,098,575 which was \$998,575 in excess of its required minimum of \$100,000. The Company's percent of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 14.11%.

#### NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to ligation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at December 31, 2024.

#### NOTE 8 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has one reportable segment: commissions and fees from trade execution services. The Company has identified its President 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 adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay distributions. The Company's operations constitutes 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.

To the Members of Proof Services, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements included in the accompanying Broker Dealers Annual Exemption Report in which (1) Proof Services, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which Proof Services, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (the "exemption provisions"); and, (2) Proof Services, LLC stated that Proof Services, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Proof Services, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about Proof Services, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
