Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024

#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Atomic Brokerage, LLC (the "Company") is owned by its sole member, AtomicVest, Inc. (the "Parent"). The Company is a registered broker-dealer, effective as of February 13, 2023 ("registration date"), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of both the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The liability of the member for losses, debts and obligations of the Company is limited to its capital contributions.

The Company provides brokerage and custody services for institutional financial technology companies ("Partners") as well as direct to end users. The Company maintains an introducing relationship with a clearing broker dealer in order to open customer accounts and offer securities products to those customers. Separately, the Company offers a cash sweep program to end user clients with the option of investing in money market mutual funds or an FDIC insured network deposit. In regards to the cash sweep program, the Company accepts funds directly from end users and financial technology companies. Customer funds are then processed through the Company's system for record keeping purposes and sent to the mutual fund custodian in the case of money market mutual funds or placed in various Program Banks to ensure clients receive an optimal amount of pass-through FDIC coverage in the deposit network.

#### 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of presentation

The financial statement is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions (including normal, recurring accruals) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company estimates that the carrying value of receivables and payables approximates fair value, due to their short term nature.

#### Income taxes

The Company is treated as a disregarded entity and has no direct federal, state, or city tax liabilities through December 31, 2024. The Company's operating results are included in the federal, state and local income tax returns of the parent.

Under ASU 2019-12, which modified ASC Topic 740, an entity is not required to allocate tax expense to a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority. Under the guidance deferred taxes for single member limited liability company is not required on their stand alone financial statement.

The Company has adopted the tax provisions of Accounting for Uncertain Income Taxes which prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statement and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, and interest and penalties. Under this guidance, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. At December 31, 2024, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing re-evaluation as facts and circumstances may require.

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

Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024

#### Revenue recognition

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 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.

Fee Income - The Company earns fee income from two primary sources. One source is a custody fee charged to Partners computed on the total amount of Assets Under Management ("AUM") they refer to the Company. The performance obligation is met as of a point in time which would be the total asset balance at the end of each day. Fees are computed and charged on a monthly basis based on the daily AUM. The other source of fee income would be on client funds invested in the cash sweep program. Similar to the custody fees, the performance obligation is met as of a point in time which would be the total asset balance held in the cash sweep program at the end of each day. The fees are computed and accrued for on a monthly basis based on daily AUM.

Commission Income - The Company earns commissions on various securities products that are offered to its end user customers. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time on a trade date basis, which is one a customer places a trade, or similar order for the purchase or sale of a security product or investment vehicle. The Company also engages in riskless principal trading of securities for its own account as well as acting as an agent for customers. These transactions settle regular way and the Company typically flattens all positions by the end of the trading day. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a trade takes place.

Interest Income - The Company earns interest income from various sources such as bank accounts and deposit accounts at its clearing broker. Interest income is earned on a daily basis as funds are held with these custodians in accounts that have an agreed upon interest rate that the custodian agrees to pay.

#### Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial 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. As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined that it has no estimated credit loss affecting its financial statement. Most of the financial assets within the scope of FASB ASC 326-20 are considered highly short-term in nature and therefore the Company is less susceptible to risks and uncertainty of credit losses over extended periods of time. Management does not anticipate any expected credit losses and, therefore, has not made any allowance for credit losses for the year ending December 31, 2024. Receivable balances were \$150,268 and \$0 at December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 91% of accounts receivable was derived from four customers, who made up 31%, 27%, 19% and 14% of accounts receivable, respectively.

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

Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024

### Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024.

The Company maintains cash with financial institutions located in the United States. The balances are insured by the FDIC up to \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. As of December 31, 2024, the amount in excess of federally insured limits is approximately \$1,470,606.

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Customer Protection Rule 15c3-3 cash of \$150,268 has been segregated into a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. Under the rule, the Company calculates it's reserve requirement weekly, as of each Friday, and at the close of the last business day of the month, and deposits, as necessary, into the Special Reserve Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers no later than one hour after the opening of banking business on the second following business day.

In addition the Company has pledged \$15,000 to secure ACH bank services at Silicon Valley Bank, which is included in cash on the statement of financial condition.

#### Clearing deposit

The Company maintains a clearing agreement with Pershing LLC, a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (the "Clearing Broker"). As of December 31, 2024 the Company maintained a clearing deposit of \$525,201 which was required by the clearing broker and is included in Clearing Broker Deposit and Receivables on the Statement of Financial Condition. In the event the Company terminates its agreement with Pershing, it may be subject to a termination fee of \$400,000.

#### 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Through an expense sharing agreement with the Parent, the Company is allocated certain operating expenses such as, salaries, rent, professional services and shared overhead costs. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Parent paid or will pay certain Company direct expenses on its behalf. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a net payable of \$387,007 due to the Parent which was included in due to related parties in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

The Company's operations and financial position could differ from those that would have been obtained if these entities were unrelated.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accepted intercompany debt forgiveness as a capital contribution from its Parent in the amount of \$1,230,352. This activity is captured as non-cash on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the parent contributed additional capital in the amount of \$2,500,000.

The Parent plans to raise additional capital and will continue to support the Company until such time the Company can generate sufficient revenue to fund operations and maintain its required minimum net capital.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024

#### 4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the uniform net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended, which requires the Company to maintain, at all times, sufficient liquid assets to cover indebtedness. In accordance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain defined minimum net capital of the greater of \$250,000 or 2% of aggregate debits from the Customer Reserve Calculation. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$2,125,476, which exceeded the required minimum net capital of \$250,000 by \$1,825,476.

#### 5. SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15c3-3

The Company is subject to the customer protection Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act, of 1934. At December 31, 2024, there was a \$7,389 requirement, per the Company's weekly calculations, to maintain a balance in the special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers.

#### 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company may be the subject of investigations, audits and other forms of regulatory and governmental inquiry covering a range of issues in their business. These inquiries may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, and possibly result in remedies including fines, penalties, restitution, alterations in their business practices, and in additional expenses.

The Company establishes accruals for legal proceedings, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changed circumstances. There was no accrual for legal proceedings as of December 31, 2024.

In addition to the matters described above, the Company and/or persons to whom the Company may have indemnification obligations, in the normal course of business, are subject to various other pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages and other relief are asserted. The Company is not aware at the present time of any such other legal proceedings. However, the Company cannot now determine whether or not any claims asserted against the Company or others to whom the Company may have indemnification obligations, whether in the proceedings or other matters described above or otherwise, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any future reporting period.

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution and settlement of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and the Company has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss. In most cases, the Company's agreements with its Partners indemnify the Company if customers fail to satisfy their contractual obligations.

#### 7. LEASE OBLIGATION

The Company is required in accordance with FASB ASC 842 to recognize a right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability in connection with lease agreements that have a term over 12 months. As of December 31, 2024 the Company did not have any lease agreements that fall under this requirement.

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

Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024

#### 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standard for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value that clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level within the fair value hierarchy of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company had no level 3 assets as of December 31, 2024.

The following table represents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024:

#### 9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of custody services and securities brokerage services. As described in FASB ASU 2024-07, FASB 280, operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"). The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews net loss and expenses consistent with the presentation of the statement of operations for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. In addition the CODM uses excess net capital which is not a measure of profit and loss to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. As a result, the Company in its entirety is a single reportable segment. The accounting policies of the Company's single reportable segment are the same as those described in this Note 2. Refer to Note 1 for a description of the single segment's business.

#### 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Company has evaluated events and transactions that have occurred since December 31, 2024, through March 17, 2025, the date of the report and determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in the Company's financial statement.
