Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Alto Securities, LLC'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 Alto Securities, LLC in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** ### *Description of Business* Alto Securities, LLC ("Alto Securities" or "the Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alto Solutions, Inc. Inc. (the "Parent"), was incorporated in September 2019 as a Delaware corporation. The Company is a private placement broker-dealer firm registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and securities regulatory commissions in all 50 states. The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). ### *Basis of Presentation* The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the results of Alto Securities, LLC. #### *Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates. #### *Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers* Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade and other receivables. The Company had \$60,717 of outstanding accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024. 14 customers accounted for total revenues during fiscal year 2024. #### *Revenue Recognition* We derive our revenue from Placement Agent fees. In accordance with Topic 606, we recognize revenue when control of the service is transferred to our customers, in the amount that reflects the breakdown of the services we have provided. We determine revenue recognition based on the following steps: - 1. Identify the contract with the customer - 2. Identify the performance obligations - 3. Determine the transaction price - 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations - 5. Recognize revenue once the performance obligation has been satisfied The revenue recognition principles, payment terms, and details for Placement Agent Fees are outlined below as a "sponsor deal". The naming distinction refers to the management structure of the investment after funding. Sponsor deals receive placement fees generally as a percentage of equity raised on the Alto Marketplace Platform in conjunction with the funding of an offering. #### *Sponsor Managed Deals* This revenue is earned from equity raised from a Sponsor Deal on the Alto Marketplace Platform. Revenue is recognized at each close. A close can be on a monthly basis or at the end of the offering period. Total revenue recognized from Sponsor Managed Deals in 2024 was \$145,140.59. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## **December 31, 2024 Alto Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statement** ## **1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)** ## *Sponsor Managed Deals (Continued)* The Company considers the risk of significant reversal mitigated upon close as funds are immediately sent to the Sponsor and the offering is either completed or substantially completed enough to begin operations. In addition, there is no historical evidence of Sponsor Deals canceling and funds being returned to customers after close. Invoices from Alto to the sponsor are dated as of the closing date. Payment is generally received from the sponsor within 30 days of the close. ## *Cash and Cash Equivalents* Cash consists of cash held in deposit accounts at financial institutions. The Company had no outstanding cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024. The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less, that are not used for trading purposes. ### *Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts* Cash consists of cash held in deposit accounts at financial institutions. The Company had no outstanding cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024. The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less, that are not used for trading purposes. #### *Income Taxes* Alto Securities, LLC is a single member limited liability company, which is disregarded for income tax purposes, and its operating results are allocated to the Parent. No provision or liability for income taxes has been included in these financial statements. ## *Segment Reporting* The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting (including adoption of ASU 2023-07), which requires companies to disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating performance. The Company conducts its business activities and reports financial results as a single reportable segment, brokerage services segment. Using the management approach, qualitative and quantitative criteria established by ASC 280, the Company has determined it has a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance in a manner consistent with the way the Company operates its business and presents their financial results, using net income that is also reported on the income statement as net income. There are no reconciling items to the income statement. The measurement of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the brokerage services segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to pay distributions to the Parent. The Company's CODM is the CEO. The nature of business and accounting policies of the brokerage services segment are the same as described in the organization and nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies. #### Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption Recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") did not or is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## **Alto Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024** ## **2.
