The Company is wholly owned by CreoValo LLC., a Texas limited liability company ("Parent"). The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a broker-dealer ("BD") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to brokers and dealers in securities. FINRA authorized the Company to commence business effective September 11, 2023. #### Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of Accounting-The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The Company is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as required. #### Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. #### Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements 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. #### Risks and Uncertainties The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with a national financial institution. The balance at the financial institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. #### Revenue Recognition The new revenue recognition guidance, ASC 606, requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### CV Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Revenue for referral fees is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction and the Company is notified that the transaction has been funded or the contract is cancelled). However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time during which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition. There were no deferred revenues for 2025. #### Income taxes The Company has elected to be treated as a limited liability company for state and federal income tax reporting purposes and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As such, substantially all of the Company's income and loss is reported by Parent and is not subject to income tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes . Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. #### Note 3 - Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital of \$5,000 and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15:1. Rule 15c3-1 further requires that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10:1. The net capital and net capital ratio as of December 31, 2025 were: #### 2025 Net capital \$262,185; Excess Net Capital \$257,186 Net capital ratio (ratio of indebtedness to capital) 0.08167 #### Note 4 - Part I, Form X-17a-5: The most recent annual report of the Company is available for examination and copying at the office of the Company and at the Atlanta Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission. #### Note 5 - Related Party Transactions Effective September 11, 2023, the Company entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement ("ESA") with Parent pursuant to which the Company was allocated certain consulting fees and technology costs (collectively "Fees") in the total amount of \$48,067, which were paid by Parent and is reflected in the accompanying Statement of Operations, \$5,209 is payable to Parent and reflected in the accompanying Statement of Financial Conditions. During the year the Company made a cash distribution to Parent in the amount of \$300,000. No other significant related party transactions were incurred. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### CV Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Note 6 - Subsequent Events Events that occur after the statement of financial condition date but before the financial statements are available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effect of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the statement of financial conditions date are recognized in the accompanying statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the statement of financial condition date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 13, 2026, in connection with the preparation of these financial statements which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. #### Note 7 - Concentrations The Company's revenue is from seven (7) referral engagements. #### Note 8 Single Reportable Segment The Company is engaged primarily in the referral of potential securities transactions to other independent broker-dealers that provide investment banking advisory services related to mergers, acquisitions and capital raises. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who with the assistance of the Company's Financial and Operations Principal uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 3), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make certain operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company's referral business constitutes a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the Company are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## Schedule I CV Securities LLC For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Computation of Net Capital and Net Capital Ratio under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 | Equity from Statement of Financial Condition | \$
