# **Note 1: Organization**

Mercury Investment Services LLC (the "Company") a Limited Liability Company formed in the state of Delaware in 2023, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercury Technologies, Inc (the "Parent"). The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company became a member of FINRA in 2023 but as of December 31, 2025 did not have any revenue generating operations. The Parent company makes capital contributions as necessary to cover any regular operating or regulatory requirements.

# **Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

## **Basis of Presentation**

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their maturities.

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

The Company has not commenced revenue generating operations as of December 31, 2025. The Company plans to primarily derive its revenue from acting as a placement agent for Regulation D private placements to institutional investors.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, revenue will be recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations, typically upon the successful closing of a transaction. Revenue from placement fees will be recognized at a point in time when the underlying transaction is completed and the performance obligation is satisfied. Retainer fees, if any, will be recognized over the period the services are provided if they represent a separate performance obligation

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash consists solely of U.S. Dollars in a deposit account at an FDIC insured bank. Of the Company's cash, none has exceeded the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

#### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, and payables. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation strategy (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).

{7}------------------------------------------------

# **Risks and Uncertainties**

The Company has not commenced revenue generating operations as of December 31, 2025 and is dependent upon its Parent company for capital to meet operational needs. The Company's Parent is well capitalized and has committed to continuing to support operations as necessary. As of December 31, 2025 the Company had Net Loss of \$379,469. The Company is subject to the risks inherent to operating in the financial industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, limited operating history, limited management resources, dependence on the development of marketable products and services, and the changing nature of the industry.

# **Note 3: Related Parties**

The Company maintains an expense sharing agreement ("ESA") with its Parent. Under the ESA, the Parent pays for certain services and office space and allocates a portion of these costs to the Company based on square footage utilized, headcount, or actual usage of staff and software. In accordance with the agreement, the Parent is the primary obligor for all third-party vendor contracts, and the Parent has no recourse against the Company's assets for these obligations. During 2025 the Company incurred expenses of \$220,342 under the ESA. The Parent formally forgave \$172,179 of these expenses which has been recorded as a capital contribution to the Company.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company also had an outstanding receivable balance of \$200 from an affiliate under common control of its Parent. The receivable relates to expenses paid on behalf of the affiliate. This is included in the Due from Affiliate category on the statement of financial condition. Additionally, the Company has an outstanding payable of to its Parent related to expenses paid on behalf of the Company by its Parent. This is included in the Due to Parent category on the statement of financial condition.

# **Note 4: Net Capital and Customer Reserve Requirements**

As a broker-dealer and member of FINRA the Company is subject to SEA Rule 15c3-1, commonly known as the Net Capital Rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. Rule 15c3-1 requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital, as defined, of \$5,000 at December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$69,976, which was \$58,419 in excess of its required net capital.

The Company is considered a "non-exempt" broker-dealer for purposes of SEA Rule 15c3- 3. The Company does not receive, hold or forward customer funds or securities and operates a business limited to acting as a non-custodial placement agent for private placements. As such the Company has received permission from FINRA to operate under Footnote 74, under which the Company is not required to meet the possession and control requirements of Rule 15c3-3 and is not required to make Customer Reserve Requirement computations or deposits under the rule.

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

## **Note 5: Income Taxes**

All operating gains and losses are consolidated into the tax return of the Company's Parent, Mercury Technologies, Inc. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and has concluded that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required for the year ended December 31, 2025.

# **Note 6: Segment Information**

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report of Brokers and Dealers ("Exemption Report") pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which Mercury Investment Services LLC did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3, and is filing is Exemption Report as a Non-Covered Firm relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because Mercury Investment Services LLC limits its business activities exclusively to act as a placement agent for Regulation D private placements, solely on a best-efforts basis, and acting as an introducing broker-dealer providing non-custodial order introducing services with activities exclusive to accepting and routing, customer orders to its designated clearing broker-dealer for execution, clearance, and settlement; and conducting no proprietary trading, market making, or direct customer funds or securities. Mercury Investment Services LLC (1) did not directly 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 Mercury Investment Services LLC); (2) did not cary accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Mercury Investment Services LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption and its statements.

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 Mercury Investment Services LLC's compliance with the exemption . A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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 on the provisions set forth in Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 related to the Non-Covered Firm Provision.
