# Business Description

The Company's customers are unaffiliated companies in the biotech and healthcare sector. The Company may provide advisory services to their customers for business expansion, liquidation, mergers, acquisitions, capital raising, capital structure, including the process required to take their business public - through a success fee model. The Company is a securities broker dealer and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") in May 2022.

# Method of Accounting

The financial statement is presented in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

# Segment Reporting

The Company operates as a single reportable segment, focusing on broker dealer activities, mainly investment banking services. All material financial information, is reviewed and managed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Company has identified the CEO as the CODM. As a result of operating as a single segment entity, the Company's financial statements reflect its overall performance without disaggregation into multiple segments.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

# Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities that represent financial instruments approximate the carrying values of such amounts. The Company has no financial instruments required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis.

### 1. Nature of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

#### Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts that have been earned and billed to clients in accordance with the terms of the Company's engagement letters with respective clients that have not yet been collected. The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposure in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. F ASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financials 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 is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported as credit loss expense on the Statement of Income. Per management's analysis, no allowance for credit losses was considered necessary as of December 31 , 2025.

### Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statement, 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 statement. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Income Taxes

The Company, a limited liability company, is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. In lieu of income taxes, the Company passes 100% of its taxable income and expenses to the member. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in this financial statement. The Company is, however, subject to the annual California limited liability company tax of \$800 and a California limited liability company fee based on gross revenue. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to examinations by all major tax jurisdictions.

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

#### 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time when it is determined the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of the Company's influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

The Company provides advisory services to customers for business expansion, liquidation, mergers, acquisitions, capital raising, capital structure, including the process required to take their business public through a success fee model.

Success fees can be for a fixed dollar amount or can be variable and are recognized upon the successful closing of a transaction where the consideration can be determined, and the performance obligation has been completed.

#### Contract Balances

Income is recognized upon completion of the related performance obligation and when an unconditional right to payment exists. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer payments. A receivable is recognized when a performance obligation is met prior to receiving payment by the customer. Receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers totaled \$50,000 and \$-0- as of January 1, 2025 and December 31 , 2025, respectively.

Alternatively, fees received prior to the completion of the performance obligation are recorded as deferred revenue on the statement of financial condition until such time when the performance obligation is met. As of January 1, 2025 and December 31 , 2025, there were no amounts of revenue deferred.

All non-reimbursed investment banking advisory related expenses are expensed as incurred and recognized within their respective expense category on the Statement oflncome.

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

3. Net Capital

As a broker dealer, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations and operating guidelines, which require the Company to maintain a specified amount of net capital, as defined, and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital as derived, not exceeding 15 to 1. The Company's net capital is computed under Rule 15c3-1 , was \$383,699 at December 31 , 2025, which exceeded required net capital of \$8,614 by \$375,085. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31 , 2025 was 0.34 to 1.

4. Risk Concentrations

At times during the year, the Company had cash balances in financial institutions that exceed Federal depository insurance limits. The amount of uninsured cash as of December 31 , 2025 was \$262,916. Management believes that credit risk related to these deposits is minimal.

100% of the Company's revenue during the year was generated from four customers.

5. Related Party Transactions

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with Gilmartin Group LLC ("Group"), a company under common control. Shared expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll, occupancy, and overhead costs. The Company is not obligated to reimburse or compensate Group for shared costs and the shared costs are not reflected on the Company's Statement oflncome.

At December 31 , 2025, the Company owed Group \$4,890, for expenses paid by Group on its behalf

The Company is not party to a lease as of December 31 , 2025. As mentioned above, the Company is party to an expense sharing agreement with Group.

The Company's results of operations could differ significantly from those that would have been obtained if the entities were autonomous.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings and regulatory matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate outcomes of these matters cannot be predicted, management does not believe they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Management has identified no commitments or contingencies as of the report date.

7. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events through March 9, 2026, the date which the financial statement was issued. There are no material subsequent events that require disclosure.
