# PCR Finance Group, LLC, dba Partners Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025

### Note 1- Nature of Business

PCR Finance Group, LLC, dba Partners Finance, (the "Company"), a Texas Limited Liability Corporation, is a broker-dealer in securities, approved to commence operations on October 21, 2022, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company does not claim an exemption from Rule 15c3-3, in reliance on footnote #74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 dated July 30, 2013, and as discussed in question 8 on the related FAQ released by SEC staff. The Company does not hold customer funds or securities. The Company focuses primarily on two types of business: 1) private placements of securities; and 2) placement agent to assist private companies established by an affiliate to raise capital for real estate development projects, and to raise capital for private real estate investment funds managed by an affiliate.

The company's ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the financial statements were available to be issued depends upon its ability to generate revenue and or obtain capital contribution to meet current and future obligations. The members of the company have evaluated these conditions and are committed to providing funding as needed to satisfy its capital needs.

### Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Accounting

These financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be cash.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

#### Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers consists entirely of private placement offerings. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms.

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

# PCR Finance Group, LLC, dba Partners Finance Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025

The Company earns revenue on the sale of interests in related party private placement offerings. Placement fees are recognized on the date the investor's subscription is accepted by the issuer. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the acceptance date because that is when the underlying financial instrument and the risks/rewards of ownership have been transferred to the investor. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2025.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consists of services performed through the balance sheet date which are generally billed and collected within 60 days. Accounts receivable are recorded at amounts billed to clients less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company accounts for estimated credit losses in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its clients, and if deemed necessary, an allowance will be established. As of December 31, 2025 no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.

### Financial Instruments and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. From time to time, the Company has cash and cash equivalents in excess of amounts insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

### Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

### Income Taxes

The financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. As a limited liability company, the Company is not a taxable entity under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect a provision for the Company for federal income taxes. The tax effect of the Company's transactions related to this entity is the responsibility of its sole member. Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statement.

The Company is subject to Texas franchise tax, which is based on taxable margin, rather than being based on federal taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded \$0 in Texas margin tax expense.

Further, the Company (1) 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; (2) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year of December 31, 2025 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 Partners Finance's compliance with the provisions of footnote 74.

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 Asked Questions of Rule.
