See accompanying notes to financial statements

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

# 1. Organization and Business

Tickrs Clearing LLC (the Company), formally known as Valuable Capital Securities, LLC, is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. On December 22, 2021, the Company was approved as a broker-dealer and as such is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

The Company primarily provides retail brokerage of corporate debt and equity securities on an agency basis and is focused on bringing the U.S. market to a segment of overseas retail investors alongside its domestic clients.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tickrs US Holdings, Inc. (the Parent).

# 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

# Basis of Presentation

These financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) which 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 these estimates.

# Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less that are not segregated and on deposit for federal or regulatory purposes. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks.

# Restricted Cash

Restricted cash included in cash segregated under federal and other regulations on the statement of financial condition represents cash segregated or set aside to satisfy requirements under Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC. This cash is held within a special reserve bank account for the benefit of customers.

# Clearing Deposit and Receivable from Broker-dealers and Clearing Organizations

Pursuant to its clearing agreement with Velocity Clearing, LLC (Velocity), the Company affects all of its customers' securities transactions through Velocity on an omnibus basis. Customer money balances and securities are carried on the books of the Company. In accordance with the clearing agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify Velocity for any losses which the clearing firms may sustain from carrying securities transactions introduced by the Company. Receivable from broker-dealers and clearing firms includes amounts in the Company's test accounts, fees, and rebates earned.

# Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned

Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded based upon the amount of cash advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions facilitate the settlement process and require the Company to deposit cash or other collateral with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, the Company receives 

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

collateral in the form of cash. The amount of collateral required to be deposited for securities borrowed, or received for securities loaned, is an amount generally in excess of the market value of the applicable securities borrowed or loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained, or excess collateral recalled, when deemed appropriate. As of June 30, 2024, all collateral received or paid was in the form of cash.

#### Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that adjusts the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in Credit Loss expense.

#### Receivables from customers

The Company's receivables from its brokerage customers include margin loans and accrued interest on these loans. Margin loans represent credit extended to customers to finance their purchases of securities by borrowing against securities they own and are fully collateralized by these securities in customer accounts. Collateral is maintained at required levels at all times. The borrowers of a margin loan are contractually required to continually adjust the amount of the collateral as its fair value changes. The Company subjects the borrowers to an internal qualification process and an interview to align investing objectives, and monitors customer activity. The Company applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for margin loans. As of June 30, 2023, \$0 was receivable from customers for clearing and other ancillary fees.

#### Receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations

The Company's receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations include amounts receivable from unsettled trades, including amounts related to futures and options on futures contracts executed on behalf of customers, amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver, accrued interest receivables, and cash deposits. A portion of the Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a clearing organization and settled daily between the clearing organization and the Company. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties. As of June 30, 2023, \$32,983 was receivable from the Company's clearing broker or other counter-parties.

#### Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases. The Company is a lessee in a noncancellable operating lease for office space with terms in excess of one year beginning March 1, 2023. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its

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

future lease payments. Variable payments are included in future lease payments. The discount rate of our lease is not readily determinable and accordingly, the Company uses 8% for the lease. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the remeasured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

# 3. Fair Value

# Fair Value Hierarchy

FASB 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 FASB 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 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.

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

### 4. Securities Loaned

The Company accounts for securities lending transactions in accordance with ASU 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," requiring companies to report disclosures of offsetting assets and liabilities. The Company does not net securities borrowed and securities loaned and these items are presented on the statement of financial condition. The following table presents the contractual gross and net securities borrowing and lending balances and the related offsetting amount as of June 30, 2024.

The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions. These accounts are insured either by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) up to \$250,000, or the SIPC up to \$500,000. At times during the year, cash balances held in financial institutions were in excess of the FDIC and SIPC's insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

The Company affects all trading activities through a clearing arrangement with Velocity. The Company also entered into securities loan agreements with Muriel Siebert), South Street Securities (South Street) and Curvature Securities (Curvature). The counterparties' inability to fulfill their contractual obligations may expose the Company to credit risk. The Company may be required to complete transactions at prevailing market prices should such events happen. Additionally, the Company may be responsible for any damages or losses sustained by the clearing organizations because of such events. The Company's exposure can be directly impacted by volatility of securities markets. The Company has not suffered any loss related to this credit risk and seeks to manage its risk through a variety of reporting and control procedures to monitor customer activities.

As of June 30, 2024, one institutional customer accounted for 63% of total revenue. At June 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 99.9% of accounts receivable.

The Parent has continued to fund the operations of the Company through equity contributions.

# 11. Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. The Company computes its net capital requirement under the alternative method provided for in Rule 15c3-1, which requires the Company to maintain minimum net capital of not less than 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions or \$250,000, whichever is greater. Rule 15c3-1 also requires that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if resulting net capital is less than 5% of aggregate debit items. Net capital changes day to day. At June 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$4,450,155 which exceeded the required net capital of \$974,694 by \$3,475,461.

# 13. Indemnifications

In the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies and guarantees certain service providers, such as clearing and custody agents, trustees, and administrators, against specified potential losses in connection with their acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company or its affiliates. The Company also indemnifies some clients against potential losses incurred in the event specified thirdparty service providers, including sub-custodians and third-party brokers, improperly executed transactions. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

The Company provides representations and warranties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. The Company may also provide standard indemnifications to some counterparties to protect them in the event additional taxes are owed or payments are withheld, due either to a change in or adverse application of certain tax laws. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business.
