Binah Capital Group, Inc.

**1.**ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Binah Capital Group, Inc. (“Binah Capital”, “Holdings” or the “Company,” representing the consolidated group), is a Delaware corporation, formed on June 27, 2022 that serves as a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries operating in the retail wealth management business.

Binah Capital through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wentworth Management Services LLC (dba, Binah Management Services, “BMS”) operates multiple businesses in the financial services industry as follows:

**2.**BUSINESS COMBINATION

On July 7, 2022, Kingswood Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“KWAC”), Binah Capital Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of KWAC (“Holdings”), Kingswood Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Kingswood Merger Sub”), Wentworth Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Wentworth Merger Sub”), and the Company, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

Holdings, Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub are newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Holdings is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of KWAC. and both Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub are wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of Holdings. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at closing, each of the following transactions will occur in the following order: (i) Kingswood Merger Sub will merge with and into KWAC. (the “Kingswood Merger”), with KWAC surviving the Kingswood Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Kingswood Surviving Company”); (ii) simultaneously with the Kingswood Merger, Wentworth Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Wentworth Merger”), with the Company surviving the Wentworth Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Surviving Company”); and (iii) following the Wentworth Merger, Kingswood Surviving Company will acquire, and Holdings will contribute to Kingswood Surviving Company all of the common units of the Surviving Company directly held by Holdings after the Kingswood Merger (the “Holdings Contribution”), such that, following the Holdings Contribution, Surviving Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kingswood Surviving Company (the Kingswood Merger and the Wentworth Merger, together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Business Combination”).

On March 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement” and the consummation of such contemplated transactions, the “Closing”), by and among Kingswood Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“KWAC”), Binah Capital, Kingswood Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kingswood Merger Sub”), Wentworth Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Wentworth Merger Sub”), and BMS. Binah Capital, Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub were newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transaction set forth in the Merger Agreement. Binah Capital was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of KWAC and both Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub were wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of Binah Capital. On the Closing Date, Kingswood Merger Sub merged with and into KWAC, with KWAC continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Binah Capital and Wentworth Merger Sub merged with and into BMS, with BMS continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Binah Capital. Following the BMS merger, KWAC acquired, and Binah Capital contributed to KWAC all of the common units of BMS directly held by Binah Capital after the BMS merger, such that, following the Binah Capital contribution, BMS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of KWAC.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, KWAC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements of Binah Capital represents a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of BMS with the business combination treated as the equivalent of the BMS issuing shares for the net assets of KWAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of KWAC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination are those of BMS (See Note 4 – Mergers and Recapitalization).

Nasdaq Exchange Listing

On March 26, 2024, Holdings received approval for Holding’s securities to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Holdings common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and its warrants will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “BCG” and “BCGWW”, respectively.

**3.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation and impairment of intangible assets and deferred income taxes, allowance for credit losses, and contingencies.

Reportable Segment

Management has determined that the Company operates inone segment, given the common nature of its operations, products and services, production and distribution process and regulatory environment. For additional information, see Note 25 -Segment Information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. For additional information see Note 5* - Revenues From Contracts with Customers*.

Share-Based Compensation

Certain employees, officers and directors participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plan that provide for granting stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. Stock options and restricted stock units generally vest in equal increments over athree-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary following the date of grant. Restricted stock awards generally vest upon grant or up to athree-year period.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation for equity awards granted to employees, officers and directors as compensation and benefits expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is equal to the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Stock options are generally granted at the market price at the date of the grant, with vesting based on three years of continuous service. The fair value of the options is estimated using the Black-Sholes model. Share-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period of the individual awards, which generally equals the vesting period.

The Company makes assumptions regarding the number of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that will be forfeited. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. As a result, changes in the forfeiture assumptions do not impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the service period. Rather, different forfeiture assumptions would only impact the timing of expense recognition over the service period. See Note 15 -Share-Based Compensation for additional information regarding share-based compensation for equity awards granted.

**3.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit and money market funds, all of which have original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash represents cash held by the Company’s lender related to its credit facility. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, restricted cash amounted to approximately $1.0 million.

The Company regularly maintains cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.

Receivables

Receivables, represent amounts due to the Company from its clearing broker, clients, financial institutions and others. Receivables consists of unconditional amounts due to the Company and are reported at amortized costs. All receivables are uncollateralized.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses*.* 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the statement of financial condition that adjusts the asset’s amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense, if applicable. Management believes its risk of loss on currently recorded receivables is minimal and accordingly an allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, in the amount of $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets once the asset is placed in service, which range from 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the useful life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. No impairment occurred for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or if certain events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. If a qualitative assessment is used and the Company determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be performed. An impairment loss will be recognized if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, to the extent that it does not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives, generally ranging from 5 to 10 years. They are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value.

**3.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

There wasno impairment of intangible assets recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 9 -Intangible Assets, for additional information regarding the Company’s intangible assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized as additional interest expense over the expected term of the related debt agreement. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842-Leases. The Company is a lessee in several noncancelable operating leases for office space. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and right of use (“ROU”) asset at the commencement date of the lease.

ROU assets. A lessee’s ROU asset is measured at the commencement date at the amount of the initially measured lease liability plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received; plus any initial direct costs. Unless impaired, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the lease liability (that is, present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease Liabilities*.* A lease liability is measured based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate and are measured using the index or rate at the commencement date. Lease payments, including variable payments based on an index rate, are remeasured when any of the following occur: (1) the lease is modified (and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract), (2) certain contingencies related to the variable lease payments are resolved, or (3) there is a reassessment of any of the following: the lease term, purchase options or amounts that are probable of being owed under a residual value guarantee. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of the Company’s leases are not readily determinable; accordingly, the Company uses it incremental rate based on the information available at the commencement date for each lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rates by starting with the interest rates on its recent borrowings and other observable market rates and adjusting those rates to reflect the differences in the amount collateral and the payment terms of the leases.

Accounting policy election for short-term leases. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with its short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 12 -Leases for additional information.

**3.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company periodically evaluates deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards to determine their recoverability based primarily on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

For the periods prior to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, BMS was treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and therefore not subject to federal taxes. BMS was subject to certain state and local income taxes. Additionally, Binah Capital Corp. (fka, Kingswood Acquisition Corp.) was treated as a corporation and subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

Subsequent to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Binah Capital Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, is the parent company of BMS. Subsequent to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, BMS elected to be treated as a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

For the year ending December 31, 2025, Holdings has elected to file a consolidated tax return which will include all subsidiaries including Binah Capital Corp., BMS, the PKSH Entities, the Cabot Entities and WEG. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements include an income tax provision for all the taxable entities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of the Company’s preferred stock. Net income (loss) per share is not presented for periods prior to the Merger as such amounts would not be meaningful to users of the consolidated financial statements because the equity structure materially changed in connection with the Merger.

Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

**3.**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)

As a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company has issued and has outstanding warrants. The Company evaluates the warrants, to determine if such instruments should be considered stock-based compensation, pursuant to ASC Topic 718, and if not in the scope of ASC 718, if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic 815. The determination of whether the instrument should be classified as stock-based compensation or a derivative instrument, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Warrants issued to non-employees (the “Non-employee Warrants”) are not classified as stock-based compensation as there is no condition of employment such that the granting of the shares does not represent compensation. The Non-employee Warrants are classified as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480 or ASC Topic 815. Warrants issued to non-employees are measured at fair value on recurring basis, using the market approach based upon the quoted market price of Binah Capital Group, Inc.’s warrants at the end of each reporting period.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company recognizes liabilities for contingencies when there is an exposure that, when fully analyzed, indicates potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Whether a potential loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated is based on currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions and uncertainties.

When a potential loss is probable and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company will accrue the most likely amount within that range. No liability is recognized for those matters which, in management’s judgment, the determination of a reasonable estimate of potential loss is not possible, or for which a potential loss is not determined to be probable.

The determination of these liability amounts requires significant judgment on the part of management. See Note 19 –Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. The ASU should be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the related disclosures; however, it does not expect this update to have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures relating to the rate reconciliation, disclosure of income taxes paid, and certain other disclosures. The ASU should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. SeeNote 17 - Income Taxes for related disclosures.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity.

4**.**MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) the holders of shares of KWAC’s common stock (“KWAC. Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (other than any redeemed shares) receivedone share of common stock of Holdings (“Holdings Common Stock”) in exchange for each share of KWAC Common Stock held by them, subject to adjustment as more fully described herein, (ii)1,100,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock issued to Sponsor was placed by Holdings into an escrow account and will not be released to the Sponsor unless the dollar volume-weighted average price of Holdings Common Stock exceeds $12.00 for 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period during thefour-year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, (iii) the holders of each whole warrant to purchase KWAC Class A Common Stock receivedone warrant to purchase Holdings Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, (iv)12 million shares of Holdings Common Stock, subject to adjustment as more fully described herein, was issued to the equity holders of BMS in proportion to their ownership interests in BMS, (v) an additional 1,100,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock was issued to certain equity holders of BMS, (vi)3,084,450 KWAC Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor were forfeited immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, and (vii)3,084,450 warrants to purchase Holding Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share were issued to the equity holders of BMS in proportion to their ownership interests in BMS. As a result of the Business Combination, BMS became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

Additionally, on the Closing Date, Holdings entered into a Subscription Agreement with an investor for the purchase of 1,500,000 shares of Holdings’ Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Holdings Series A Stock”) in a private placement at $9.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $14.4 million (the “Series A PIPE”). The Holdings Series A Stock may be converted into shares of Holdings Common Stock after the second anniversary of the closing of the Series A PIPE, which such conversion shall initially be 1.5 shares of Holdings Common Stock for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments provided in the Certificate of Designations.

Holdings applied to have the Holdings common stock and Holdings warrants listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbolsBCG andBCGWW, respectively. Prior to the mergers, the KWAC Class A Common Stock and KWAC Public Warrants were listed on the OTC Exchange under the symbols “KWAC” and “KWAC.WS,” respectively.

On March 26, 2024, Holdings received approval for Holding’s securities to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Holdings common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and its warrants will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “BCG” and “BCGWW”, respectively.

5**.**REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer. The indicators of which party exercises control include primary responsibility over performance obligations, inventory risk before the good or service is transferred and discretion in establishing the price.

Commissions

Commission revenues represent sales commissions generated by advisors for their clients’ purchases and sales of securities on exchanges and over-the-counter, as well as purchases of other investment products. The Company views the selling, distribution and marketing, or any combination thereof, of investment products to such clients as a single performance obligation to the product sponsors.

The Company is the principal for commission revenues, as it is responsible for the execution of the clients’ purchases and sales and maintains relationships with the product sponsors. Advisors assist the Company in performing its obligations. Accordingly, total commission revenues are reported on a gross basis.

**5.**REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS(continued)

The Company generates two types of commission revenue: sales-based commissions that are recognized at the point of sale on the trade date and trailing commissions that are recognized over time as earned. Sales-based commission revenues vary by investment product and are based on a percentage of an investment product’s current market value at the time of purchase. Trailing commission revenues are generally based on a percentage of the current market value of clients’ investment holdings in trail-eligible assets, and are recognized over the period during which services, such as ongoing support, are performed. As trailing commission revenues are based on the market value of clients’ investment holdings, the consideration is variable, and an estimate of the variable consideration is constrained due to dependence on unpredictable market impacts. The constraint is removed once the value of the clients’ investment holdings can be determined.

Advisory Fees

Advisory fees represent fees charged to advisors’ clients’ accounts on the Company’s corporate advisory platform. The Company provides ongoing investment advice, brokerage and execution services on transactions, and performs administrative services for these accounts. This series of performance obligations transfers control of the services to the client over time as the services are performed. These revenues are recognized ratably over time to match the continued delivery of the performance obligations to the client over the life of the contract. The advisory revenues generated from the Company’s corporate advisory platform are based on a percentage of the market value of the eligible assets in the clients’ advisory accounts. As such, the consideration for these revenues is variable and an estimate of the variable consideration is constrained due to dependence on unpredictable market impacts on client portfolio values. The constraint is removed once the value of the clients’ investments holdings can be determined.

The Company provides advisory services to clients on its corporate advisory platform through the advisor. The Company is the principal in these arrangements and recognizes advisory revenues on a gross basis, as the Company is responsible for satisfying the performance obligations and has control over determining the fees.

The following table presents total revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by investment product for the years ended December 31(in thousands):

**5.**REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS(continued)

The following tables presents sales-based and trailing revenues disaggregated by product category for the years ended December 31(in thousands):

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by the Company’s customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and there is an unconditional right to payment. The Company records a contract asset when the Company has recognized revenue prior to payment but the Company’s right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenues (a contract liability) until the performance obligations are satisfied. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had receivables from contracts with customers, net of an allowance for credit losses, totaling approximately $11.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The opening balance of receivables from contracts with customers was approximately $8.9 million as of January 1, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, the Company hadno liabilities from contracts with customers.

Interest and Other Income

The Company earns interest income from client margin accounts and cash equivalents. This revenue is not generated from contracts with customers. Additionally, the Company receives marketing fees and sponsorship income.

6**.**DUE FROM CLEARING BROKER AND CLEARING DEPOSIT

PKSI, CLS and WEG clear customer transactions through a clearing broker and, therefore, they operate pursuant to exemptions contained in Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, clearing deposits, which are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition and receivables due from clearing brokers were as follows(in thousands):

7**.**FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the consolidated statements of financial condition, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. The carrying value of debt approximates their fair value since the interest rates on these obligations represent current market rates.

Derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments when available or observable inputs from forward and futures yield curves. The valuation models use required observable inputs including contractual terms, market process, yield curves, credit curves and measures of volatility. Our derivatives are classified as Level 2. The counterparty to our derivative transaction is a regulated bank. Management has determined that the counterparty credit risk associated with its derivative transaction is not significant. Accordingly, the recorded fair value has not been adjusted to reflect counterparty risk.

**8.**PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31(in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment amounted to approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**9.**INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The components of intangible assets were as follows as of December 31, 2025(in thousands):

The components of intangible assets were as follows as of December 31, 2024(in thousands):

Amortization expense related to intangible assets amounted to approximately $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows(in thousands):

**10.**DEBT

On December 23, 2024 (the “Credit Agreement Closing Date”), BMS entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Byline Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed, at BMS’s request, to (i) make to BMS a term loan in the original principal amount of $20.3 million (the “Term Loan”), which was funded on the Credit Agreement Closing Date; (ii) make to BMS, from time to time, certain non-revolving loans (the “Non-Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 million (the “Non-Revolving Loan Commitment”), to be funded through, but excluding, the Maturity Date (as defined below); and (iii) issue to BMS, from time to time, letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit” and together with the Term Loan and Non-Revolving Loans, the “Loans”) until the earliest to occur of (x) the one year from the Credit Agreement Closing Date and (b) the date on which the Non-Revolving Loans are fully drawn. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan was $17.7 million and $19.6 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, to the extent that BMS requests a Letter of Credit, the Non-Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Non-Revolving Loans may not be requested by BMS and may only be advanced in connection with a repayment of a Letter of Credit (“LC Payment”). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno amounts outstanding under the Non-Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company entered intotwo Letters of Credit in the amounts of approximately $0.05 million. These Letters of Credit were issued to supporttwo office leases.

**11.**PROMISSORY NOTES – AFFILIATES

On November 30, 2017, WMS issued subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.6 million to certain sellers in connection with the acquisition of the PKSH Entities. These notes had a maturity date of May 17, 2023, and accrued interest at a rate of 10% annually. The interest on these notes continued to accrue until such time as these notes were restructured.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the PKSH Entities, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration in the amount of $5.0 million to certain sellers.

**12.**LEASES

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office space with initial noncancelable terms in excess ofone year. The Company classifies these leases as operating leases. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from 2 to 10 years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the optional periods are not included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under these renewal options are excluded from lease payments used to determine the lease liability. The Company’s leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of the Company’s leases, variable payments. The Company’s office space leases require it to make variable payments for the Company’s proportionate share of the building’s property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred.

The following table reflects a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rates to the Company’s effective income tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2024:

**17.**INCOME TAXES(continued)

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates. Temporary differences, and net operating loss carryforwards that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows as of December 31:

As of December 31, 2025 and 204, the net deferred tax asset is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

Net Operating Losses

At December 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. These carry forward losses are available to offset future U.S. federal and state taxable income and are not subject to IRC Section 382 limitations. All federal net operating losses being carried forward were incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and therefore will carry forward indefinitely. The state net operating losses will start to expire December 31, 2038.

Valuation Allowance

The Company provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such assets is more likely than not to occur in accordance with accounting standards that address income taxes. Significant management judgment is required in determining the period in which the reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, such as historical levels of income and future forecasts of taxable income amongst other items, in determining its valuation allowance and has concluded thatno valuation allowance is warranted as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024 the valuation allowance amounted to $529.

**17.**INCOME TAXES(continued)

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the Company does not anticipate any material changes over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and other expense, respectively. There wereno amounts accrued for interest or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal and state jurisdictions and is subject to examination by various taxing authorities. The tax years of 2022 to 2024 remain open to examination in the federal jurisdiction. The tax years of 2021 to 2024 remain open to examination in the state jurisdiction. The Company is not currently under examination for any tax years.

**18.**NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock does not have similar economic rights to the common stock and management does not consider them to be in substance common shares for earnings per share (“EPS”) purposes. As a result, the weighted average Series A and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding during the period was not included in the calculation of weighted average common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including the dilutive effect of the conversion of all potential common stock equivalents (which includes warrants, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, options and unvested restricted stock) and accordingly, as applicable adjusting net income to add back any changes in earnings that reduce earnings per common share in the period associated with the potential common stock equivalents.

The computation of loss per share and weighted average of the Company’s common stock outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows*(in thousands)*:

The following table details the securities that have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted earnings per share for the period presented as they were anti-dilutive*(in thousands)*.

During the preparation of the current period financial statements, the Company identified an immaterial error in the calculation of EPS for the prior periods. The error did not impact net income, total equity, or cash flows. The EPS figures for the prior periods have been revised accordingly in the comparative presentation. Management has concluded that the correction is not material to the prior period financial statements and does not require restatement.

**19.**COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is a defendant or respondent in various pending and threatened arbitrations, administrative proceedings and lawsuits seeking compensatory damages. Claim amounts are infrequently indicative of the actual amounts the Company will be liable for, if any. Many of these claimants also seek, in addition to compensatory damages, punitive or treble damages, and all seek interest, costs and fees. These matters arise in the normal course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these actions, and the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.

In many lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory proceedings, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the amount of that liability until the matter is close to resolution. However, accruals are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect management’s estimates of the impact of developments, rulings, advice of counsel and any other information pertinent to a particular matter.

Because of the inherent difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome of legal and regulatory actions, management cannot predict with certainty the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters. The Company believes, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such legal proceeding, claim, dispute, or investigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the actual outcomes of such legal proceedings, claims, disputes, or investigations could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular future period as additional information is obtained.

PKSI, a subsidiary of the Company, has responded to an informal inquiry from FINRA in connection with its accounting of a transaction that occurred during the year ending December 31, 2025. The accounting for the transaction in question has been accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes, based upon current information, that the outcome of this inquiry will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**19.**COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES(continued)

Indemnification

The activities of the Company’s customers are transacted on either a cash or margin basis through the facilities of its clearing broker. In margin transactions, the clearing broker extends credit to the customers, subject to various regulatory and margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the customer’s account. In connection with these activities, the clearing broker may also execute and clear customer transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased.

The clearing broker monitors required margin levels daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires the customers to deposit additional collateral, or reduce positions, when necessary.

These transactions may expose the Company to significant off-balance sheet risk in the event margin requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses which the customers may incur. In the event the customers fail to satisfy their obligations to the clearing broker, the Company may be required to compensate the clearing broker for losses incurred on behalf of the customers.

The Company, through its clearing broker, seeks to control the risk associated with its customers’ activities by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, management of the Company had not been notified by any clearing brokers, nor were they otherwise aware of any potential losses relating to this indemnification.

**20.**RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries earn revenue from various related parties controlled by individuals that are members or officers of the Company. Summarized activity and balance as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows(in thousands):

The revenue amounts and amounts due to and due from are included in commissions on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition, respectively.

**21.**STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 57,500,000 shares consisting of the following:

**22.**RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for the benefit of its employees. Prior to January 1, 2025, PKSI and WEG each maintained their own respective 401(k) retirement plans for its employees. Effective January 1, 2025, the WEG plan was merged into the PKSI plan, then the PKSI plan was renamed the Binah Management Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”). Contributions to the Plan are limited to a maximum of 3.5% of employee compensation and are based upon employee contributions. Employees must be 21 years of age and employed forthree months to participate. For the year ended December 31, 2025, BMS contributed approximately $0.6 million to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the PKSI contribution to the plan amounted to approximately $0.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, WEG contributed approximately $0.03 million to its plan.

**23.**NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company operates four registered broker-dealers that are subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). This requires the Company to maintain certain minimum net capital requirements. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, all broker-dealers had net capital in excess of the required minimums.

**24.**CREDIT RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its counterparties and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its counterparties, establishes an allowance for credit losses and, consequently, believes that its receivables credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

**25.**SEGMENT INFORMATION

Effective with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Board confirmed Craig Gould as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and David Shane as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO). The Company has concluded that the its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the group includes the CEO and CFO of the Company.

Management of the Company has determined that it hasone reportable segment, given the common nature of the Company’s operations, products and services, and regulatory environment. The Company provides a platform of brokerage and investment advisory services to independent financial advisors and advisors at other financial services companies from which the Company derives its revenues and incurs expenses. See Note 5 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The CODM regularly reviews net income/(loss) before the provision or benefit for income taxes as presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM include those line items reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, the most significant of which includes commissions and fees, employee compensation and benefits and professional fees. See the consolidated statements of operations and Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounts Policies for additional information about these lines items and the related accounting policies.

**26.**SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
