### UPHORIZON, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2025

#### NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

Uphorizon, LLC (the "Company") was formed as a limited liability company in California on August 18, 2023. The Company is wholly owned subsidiary of Uphorizon Group, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of both the Financial Industry Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation ("SIPC").

The Company is authorized to act as an underwriter or selling group participant for corporate securities, excluding mutual funds. It is also authorized to raise capital through private placements of securities. In addition, the Company provides advisory services to businesses, including valuations, strategic planning, and merger and acquisition ("M&A") advisory.

#### NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

#### Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United ("GAAP") as detailed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported anounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

#### Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently dependent on its Parent to fund its ongoing operations as the Company has not yet generated sufficient revenue. The Parent intends to provide additional financing through direct contributions of capital until positive cash flows are generated. The Parent is not contractually obligated to continue to provide support.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company that is deemed to be a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. The taxable income or loss of the Company is allocated and taxed to its member.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement approach for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on reversal, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At June 30, 2025, the Company had no material unrecognized tax and no uncertain tax positions.

The Company's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations thereof as well as other factors. Generally, federal and state authorities may examine the Company's income tax returns for three years from the date of filing.

#### Revenue and Expense Recognition

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 an entity to follow a five step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in 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.

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

### UPHORIZON, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2025

#### NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

#### Revenue and Expense Recognition (Continued)

In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

#### Significant Judgment

Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

#### Receivables and Contract Balances

Contract assets arise when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to the Company's unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled receivable) and are reversed when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. Contract assets are reported in the Statement of Financial Condition. As of June 30, 2025, contract asset balances were \$0.

Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations under the contract and are revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. As of June 30, 2025, there were no contract liabilities.

#### NOTE 3-CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

#### Cash

The Company maintains principally all cash balances in one financial institution which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is solely dependent upon daily bank balances and the respective strength of the financial institution. The Company has not incurred any losses on this account. At June 30, 2025, the amount in excess of insured limits of \$250,000 was \$0.

#### Revenues

During the year ended June 30, 2025, the only revenue earned was on interest income on cash balances.

#### NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company had no commitments or contingent liabilities and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at June 30, 2025, or during the year then ended.

#### NOTE 5 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 12.5 to 1, in the first year of membership and 15c3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change day to day, but on June 30, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$77,655, which was \$27,655 in excess of its required net capital of \$50,000.

The stablished a rightof-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The company is not subject to ASC 842 due to the short-term exemption.

#### NOTE 8\_RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOLINCEMENTS.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") has established the Accounting Standards Codification" or "ASC") as the authoritative source of GAAP recognized by the FASB. The principles embodied in the Codification are to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the United States. New accounting pronouncements are incorporated into the issuance of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs").
