### **Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information:**

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

### **NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

Vistia Capital, LLC (the Company) was organized in July 2020, as a limited liability company in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM417 Holdings, Inc. (Parent), a Delaware corporation. 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 (FINRA) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The Company's operations consist primarily of the distribution of securities in private placement offerings on a best-efforts basis acting as the managing broker-dealer and/or selling group member. The Company's customers are primarily individuals located throughout the United States.

The Company is considered a Non-Covered Firm exempt from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.1 7a-5. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to participating in distributions of securities (other than firm commitment underwritings) and supplemental services to its private placement customers in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4.

### **NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### **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.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

#### Significant Judgments

Revenue from contracts includes private placement commissions and other revenue. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether the 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

{10}------------------------------------------------

## **Vistia Capital, LLC**  Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

#### Private Placement Commissions

The Company participates in the distribution of securities in private placement offerings on a bestefforts basis. Each time a customer enters into a buy transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions are recognized on the trade date. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying private placement interest is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer.

#### Other Revenue

Other revenue includes engagement fees and retainers, reimbursement of expenses and revenue from providing tax document management.

The Company may charge customers an up-front engagement fee for private placement offerings. The Company may also charge customers an advisory fee retainer for the purpose of identifying acquisition and/or investment opportunities, preparing and reviewing documents and performing other due diligence requested by the customer. The Company believes the performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company.

Reimbursed expenses typically include costs incurred by the Company on behalf of others. These expenses are included in revenue because the Company is considered the principal in these transactions, as it controls the goods or services before they are transferred to the customers. The Company recognizes reimbursements as the related expenses are incurred.

The Company receives revenue from customers for tax document management for their investors, marketing fees, and fees for customer sponsorship at Company marketing events. The Company recognizes this revenue as the services are performed , usually at a fixed point in time.

#### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Securities owned are held for investment purposes and are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASS ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as described in Note 3. The increase or decrease in fair value is credited or charged to operations.

#### **Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives on property and equipment range from two to seven years.

{11}------------------------------------------------

## **Vistia Capital, LLC**  Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

### **Income Taxes**

The Company is a single member limited liabil ity company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. The Company's taxable income or loss is included in the federal and state corporate tax returns of its Parent; therefore, federal and state income taxes are not payable by or provided for by the Company.

### **Leases**

The Company leases office space. The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease is made at the lease's inception. Under ASC 842, a contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is defined under the standard as having both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Management only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed .

The Company did not record an operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset and operating lease liability related to the office lease in the statement of financial condition as the amounts are immaterial.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases with a term of one year or less.

### **NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE**

FASS ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASS ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

• Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

• Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities are valued using quoted market prices. Valuation adjustments are not applied. Accordingly, U.S. government securities are generally categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024.

| Assets                                        | Quoted Prices in<br>Active Markets<br>for Identical<br>Assets (Level 1) |    | Significant Other<br>Observable Inputs<br>(Level 2) |    | Significant<br>Unobservable<br>Inputs (Level 3) |    | Balance as of<br>June 30, 2024 |  |
|-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|----|-----------------------------------------------------|----|-------------------------------------------------|----|--------------------------------|--|
| U.S. Government<br>obligations, at fair value | \$<br>279,153                                                           | \$ | ===========================                         | \$ | -                                               | \$ | 279,153                        |  |

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) during the year ended June 30, 2024.

### **NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company and its Parent are under common control. The existence of that control creates operating results and financial position significantly different than if the Companies were autonomous. Transactions between the Company and the Parent were not consummated on terms equivalent to arm's length transactions.

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

The Company and its Parent entered into an Office and Administrative Services Agreement (OASA or Agreement) effective March 22, 2021. The Agreement was for an initial one-year term and is automatically renewable unless canceled by either Party. The Agreement has automatically renewed through March 22, 2025. Under the terms of the OASA, the Parent supplies the Company with insurance, office expenses, fixed assets, technology and professional fees. The Agreement requires the Company to pay an incremental allocation services fee of \$9,400 per month. Fees under the Agreement totaled \$112,800 for the year ended June 30, 2024.

The Company has \$257,903 payable to the Parent at June 30, 2024, for current and prior years' incremental allocation fees.

### **NOTE 5. LEASES**

On March 1, 2021, the Company accepted assignment of a commercial lease agreement between Move, LLC and its Parent, expiring on August 31, 2024. Rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 was \$76,245. The Company extended its lease term with the landlord for one year, expiring on August 31, 2025. Future minimum annual lease payments are \$78,590 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 and \$13,221 for the two months ending August 31, 2026.

### **NOTE 6. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC 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 June 30, 2024 the Company had net capital of \$572,778 which was \$549,622 in excess of its minimum required net capital of \$23,156. The Company's net capital ratio was .61 to 1.

### **NOTE 7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND REVENUE**

At various times during the year the Company maintained cash balances at one national bank in excess of federally insured amounts. Cash balances fluctuate on a daily basis. At June 30, 2024 cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by \$9,507.

### **NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES**

There are currently no other asserted claims or legal proceedings against the Company. However, the nature of the Company's business subjects it to various claims, regulatory examinations, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of any such future action against the Company could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

### **NOTE9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Management has evaluated the Company's events and transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024, through September 24, 2024, the date the financial statements were available for

In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b )(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry P AB accounts ( as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

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 Vistia Capital, 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 upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently
