In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

#### **Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2024**

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

Prometheum Capital, LLC ("Prometheum Capital" or the "Company") was formed in January 2021 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") authorized to custody, clear and settle digital asset securities.

On May 17, 2023, Prometheum Capital was approved as a member of FINRA as a Special Purpose Broker Dealer. On December 20, 2023, Prometheum Capital was also approved as a member of FINRA to clear and settle digital asset securities. The Company is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prometheum, Inc. ("Parent"). The Parent was formed for the purpose of developing a fully integrated blockchain-enabled ecosystem for the trading, clearing, settlement and custody of Digital Asset Securities ("DAS").

#### NOTE 2 – RELIANCE ON THIRD-PARTY LIQUIDITY

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company has received a commitment from its principal stockholder to provide additional funds through March 10, 2026 to meet liquidity needs not covered by operating cash flows.

#### NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Presentation

The Company's statement of financial condition has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The following paragraphs describe our significant accounting policies. These include any changes to our accounting policies required under US GAAP, which became effective January 1, 2024.

#### Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its statement of financial condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including digital asset securities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions which it believes are reasonable in the circumstances and does not believe that any change in those assumptions would have a significant effect on financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of highly liquid, short-term assets, including cash, prepaid expenses, payables, and accrued expenses approximates their carrying value given that they are short term in nature, bear interest at current market rates, or are subject to re-pricing, generally on a daily basis.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a single-member limited liability company disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No income tax provision has been made in the accompanying statement of financial condition since the Company is not subject to United States federal, state, or local income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under, ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12") and is no longer obligated to disclose its tax positions on its stand-alone financials and instead reports them with its Parent.

#### **Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2024**

#### NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2024 the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

#### Cash Segregated in Compliance with Federal Regulations

Cash segregated in compliance with federal regulations consists of cash on deposit in a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers under SEC Rule 15c3-3.

#### Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains all its cash with one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The accounts at this financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's cash on deposit at this financial institution in excess of federally insured limits was \$729,009. The Company has not experienced any loss in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

#### Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and consist primarily of computer hardware and equipment. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line basis and estimated useful service lives of the assets, which is five years.

#### Digital Asset Securities

Digital Asset Securities ("DAS") are defined under SEC Release No. 34-90788 as an asset that is issued or transferred using distributed ledger technology and qualifies as a security under applicable federal securities laws. The Company performs an analysis to determine whether the treatment under ASC 350-60, as amended by Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-08, is applicable to each DAS on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition. The Company has determined that its current DAS holdings are indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-60. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company early adopted ASU 2023-08, which requires entities to measure these assets at fair value. The DAS are initially recorded at their cost with subsequent cost-basis tracking performed in accordance with the first-in-first out ("FIFO") method of accounting.

#### Leases

Leases are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842 Leases ("ASC 842"). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components.

#### NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

#### Segment Reporting

 Based on the internal reporting structure and management's evaluation, the Company has determined that it operates within one reportable segment under the criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has identified its Co-CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company's operations constitute 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.

#### Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Employees participate in Prometheum Inc.'s equity incentive plan, which provides for stock options that may only be settled in common shares of Prometheum, Inc. Share-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. The awards are classified as equity awards and measured at fair value on the grant date. The Company determines the grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, incorporating assumptions including expected term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate. Prometheum Inc. allocates share-based compensation expense to the Company for employees receiving equity awards.

#### NOTE 4 – EXPENSE SHARING AGREEMENT

The Company operates pursuant to an expense sharing agreement ("ESA") entered into with the Parent. Pursuant to that agreement, certain expenditures of the Parent, which benefit the Company, are allocated to the Company, and reflected in the accounts of the Company. Expenditures are allocated using a reasonable methodology based on specific identification, headcount, usage or other systematic basis reflecting the Company's proportionate benefit. Expenditures by the Parent which are recorded in the accounts of Prometheum Capital pursuant to the ESA are settled by a simultaneous non-cash capital contribution by the Parent.

 Amounts recorded in the accompanying statement of financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the ESA was \$8,374,363. This amount was settled with a simultaneous non-cash capital contribution.

# NOTE 5 – FIXED ASSETS, NET

| Computer hardware              | \$42,719 |
|--------------------------------|----------|

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist solely of Level 2 assets, which are valued based on a 24-hour volume weighted average calculation, time-penalty factor and outlier methodology. Accordingly, no Level 1 or Level 3 assets are held, and no fair value hierarchy table is presented. The company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The following table summarizes the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

| Assets:                               | Level 2 |
|---------------------------------------|---------|
| Digital asset securities              | \$6,012 |
