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 the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

service revenue model. Effective October 2025, the Company discontinued this fee structure. Beginning November 2025, the maintenance fee is assessed under a revised model through the Vest Points program, whereby clients who do not accumulate the required points threshold during the monthly cycle are subject to a monthly fee of up to \$2 USD. Clients may avoid this fee by earning sufficient Vest Points through qualifying activities such as maintaining a minimum portfolio balance, enrolling in the Fully Paid Stock Lending (FPSL) program, making qualifying deposits, or using their Vest Card. Revenue under both models is recognized on a periodic basis, consistent with the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Interest Income: The Company earns interest income on the balances of customer accounts that are introduced to a clearing broker-dealer. This interest is paid by the clearing broker-dealer to the Company and is recognized as income when it is earned, regardless of when it is received.

Payment for Order Flow (PFOF): The Company receives payment for order flow from executing broker-dealers, which is a form of compensation for directing orders to specific brokers for trade execution. This income is recognized on a per-share basis at the time the trade is made.

Fully Paid Securities Lending (FPSL) Fees: The Company earns fees from lending fully paid securities, which is an income stream from allowing the temporary transfer of the customer possession of the securities to borrowers, who are typically other traders or institutions. This revenue is presented within the "interest" line item in the Company's Statement of Operations.

Commission Revenue: The Company historically generated revenue through commissions from referring client transactions in listed equities. This commission was recognized in the financial records when the service was completed, aligning with the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The timing of recording the commission corresponded with the settlement date of securities transactions. Effective April 2024, the Company discontinued charging commissions on client transactions. Consequently, no commission revenue was generated during the remainder of 2024, and none has been recognized in 2025.

# **Significant Judgments**

Revenue from contracts with customers includes placement fees. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment 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; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

#### **Accounts Receivables**

Accounts receivables are stated at the amounts the Company expects to collect. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible. If collection becomes doubtful, an allowance for doubtful accounts will be established or the accounts will be charged to income when that determination is made by management. As of December 31, 2025, all receivables reported in the Statement of Financial Condition relate exclusively to the clearing broker.

# **Cash**

All cash deposits are held by two financial institutions and therefore are subject to the credit risk at that financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe there to be any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

# **Allowance for Credit Losses**

The Company complies with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. 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 statement of financial condition that is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense.

The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments including due from broker and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. 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. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with due from broker and other receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due based on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards.

As of December 31, 2025, there was no allowance for credit losses. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there was no credit loss expense related to the allowance for credit losses or any recoveries of amounts previously charged reflected on the Statement of Operations.

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company is a single member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax reporting purposes. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provides that any income or loss is passed through to the ultimate beneficial individual member for federal, state and certain local income taxes. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for federal and state income taxes. The Company has no tax sharing agreement with the Parent and accordingly has no commitment to fund or receive amounts from any tax liabilities or benefits with earnings of the Company. The Company is required to file income tax returns in both federal and state tax jurisdictions. The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction. For federal purposes, the statute of limitations is three years. Accordingly, the Company is no longer subject to examination of federal returns filed more than three years prior to the date of these financial statements. The statute of limitations for state purposes is generally three years but may exceed this limitation depending upon the jurisdiction involved. Returns that were filed within the applicable statute remain subject to examination. As of December 31, 2025, the IRS has not proposed any adjustment to the Company's tax position.

#### **Income Taxes - continued**

The Company recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by taxing authorities. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authorities. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2025.

# **Intangible Assets – Goodwill**

In prior years, the Company entered into and executed various asset purchase agreements to acquire customer accounts among other intangible assets from affiliated and non-affiliated entities. The Company determined that the aggregate of each respective purchase price be used as the basis for valuing the intangible assets. In 2022, the Company recognized an \$844,850 impairment loss in the same year it executed an asset purchase.

As part of its year-end financial reporting process, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of the goodwill intangible assets to assess any potential impairment loss as of December 31, 2025. Based on the results of this assessment, no impairment was identified with respect to the fair value balance of the \$1,180,000 intangible assets.

In most cases, management has determined that the pronouncement has either limited or no application to the Company and, in all cases, implementation would not have a material impact on the financial statements taken as a whole.
