Item 2 – Material Changes
The following material changes occurred to Allegheny’s Brochure since its last annual amendment dated March 2024.
•
Item 12 Brokerage Practices has been updated to disclose Allegheny’s practices for executing aggregate
orders for multiple client accounts on a single day. This type of order is referred to as a “blocked” order in this
document. The Firm maintains policies and procedures that require the allocation of blocked orders to be
carried out in a manner that is fair and equitable to its clients, including that all participating client accounts in a
blocked order will receive an average fill price and share any commission costs (if any) proportionately.
•
Item 11 Code of Ethics has also been updated to address Allegheny’s blocked orders to trade the same
security for multiple client accounts on a single day. This item has been updated to describe the impact this
practice has on Allegheny’s employee trading procedures. More specifically, Allegheny has adopted procedures
restricting supervised persons’ ability to personally purchase or sell a security by participating in a blocked order
alongside Allegheny clients, unless the participating account is managed by Allegheny on a fully discretionary
basis. Such employee “managed” accounts are treated as Allegheny client accounts and are subject to the same
aggregation and allocation policies and procedures as other clients. Employee accounts that are managed by the
firm do not receive preferential treatment in the trade allocation process.
Item 15 Custody has been updated with an enhanced disclosure about Allegheny’s custody practices,
•
including the circumstances in which Allegheny is deemed to have custody as a result of Allegheny’s requirement
to undergo an annual surprise CPA examination as a result of other ways in which Allegheny is deemed to have
custody of client accounts.
Item 16 Investment Discretion has been updated with enhanced disclosure about Allegheny’s practices
•
when it recommends that clients invest in private funds. In particular, Allegheny does not exercise discretion
with respect to client investments in such private investments. Instead, when we recommend a private
investment to you, our recommendation is made on a non-discretionary basis and you will retain the authority
to decide whether to invest in any recommended private investment. No such investment will be made without
your prior consent and completion of the applicable subscription documents or independent manager
documents.
Other minor modifications have been made throughout the Brochure.
We will provide you with a new Brochure as necessary based on changes or new information, at any time, without charge.

Allegheny Investments (herein “Allegheny”, “we”, or “us”) offers investment management and financial planning
services to clients. Allegheny is an SEC registered investment adviser. Allegheny is principally owned by its
employee advisors, Brandon Haynes and Jonathan Kuhn.
Allegheny Financial Group (“AFG”, our affiliated investment adviser) was founded in 1976 by James D. Hohman
and James J. Browne to provide comprehensive financial planning to clients in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
Messrs. Browne and Hohman began attracting like-minded professionals, intent on providing exceptional
financial planning services to their clients. In 1977, Messrs. Hohman and Browne founded Allegheny to provide

registration but remains an SEC-registered investment adviser.
We provide the following types of services, which are tailored to the individual needs of our clients. Financial
plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the financial
information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or
needs change during our engagement. You have the right to impose reasonable restrictions on investing in
certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. All such restrictions must be provided to us in writing.
Account supervision over investment management accounts is guided by your stated goals, objectives, risk
tolerance, as well as tax considerations. We provide investment management services on both a discretionary
and non-discretionary basis (see Item 16 for more details).
COMBINED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT & FINANCIAL PLANNING
Comprehensive Portfolio Management (“PMA”)
When we provide comprehensive investment management and financial planning services, we will work with you
to develop a financial plan and provide you with continuous advice regarding the investment of your funds based
on your individual needs. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on your particular
circumstances are established, we develop your personal investment strategy and create and manage a portfolio
based on that strategy. During our data gathering process, we determine your individual objectives, time
horizons, risk tolerance and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss your prior investment
history, as well as family composition and background. You will receive reports reflecting the value and status of
their uniquely designed portfolio.
Clients receiving these services participate in Allegheny’s Wrap Fee Program, for which Allegheny receives a fee.
See the Allegheny Wrap Fee Brochure for additional details.
Asset Management Services
Allegheny utilizes the Asset Management Program administered by in-house personnel based on the client’s
service requirements. Clients selecting this service are charged a portfolio management fee (described below).
This service provides a comprehensive investment advisory service. This advisory service will coordinate the
following processes; development of the basic investment strategy, setting reasonable investment objectives,
determining an appropriate balance among major asset categories within the investment portfolio and specifying
benchmarks for evaluating investment performance. Allegheny will employ the following strategies to enhance
performance results and control portfolio risk; allocation of investment funds among a group of carefully selected
professional money managers and use of special investment situations. Allegheny will monitor the client results
on a continuous basis. Clients will receive semi-annual reports showing the value and status of investment
positions along with semi-annual performance reviews with comparisons to specific benchmarks. For more
information on these services, please contact your Allegheny advisor.

STAND-ALONE FINANCIAL PLANNING AND OTHER SERVICES
We generally provide one-time and ongoing financial planning services in conjunction with investment
management services. However, you can engage us for stand-alone financial planning services. We
develop individualized financial plans for clients based upon an analysis of their objectives, risk
tolerance, time frame and other data. We will not have discretion when providing these services, which
can include financial planning, investment fiduciary consulting, retirement plan consulting, and IRA
rollovers. You should be aware that you are not obligated to engage us to implement our advisory
recommendations. Using a team approach and in conjunction with other external professionals, we can
provide you with assistance and advice on additional topics such as:

•
• Business valuations

Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the financial
information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or
needs change during our engagement.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Recommendations of Independent Managers
When you engage us to provide investment management services, you will typically empower us to recommend
and/or select third-party Independent Managers to manage a portion of your assets, based upon your stated
investment objectives. The terms and conditions under which you engage the Independent Managers are set
forth in a written agreement between Allegheny or you and each designated Independent Manager. Typically, the
Independent Manager is engaged to manage the designated assets on a discretionary basis. Allegheny also
monitors and reviews the account performance and your investment objectives. Allegheny receives an annual
advisory fee which corresponds with the services Allegheny is engaged to provide and is based upon a percentage
of the market value of the assets being managed by the designated Independent Managers.
When recommending or selecting an Independent Manager for a client, Allegheny reviews information about the
Independent Manager such as its disclosure statement and/or material supplied by the Independent Manager or
independent third parties for a description of the Independent Manager’s investment strategies, past
performance, and risk results to the extent available. Factors that Allegheny considers in recommending an
Independent Manager to you include your stated investment objectives, management style, performance,
reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research. The advisory fees charged by the designated
Independent Managers, together with the fees charged by your designated broker-dealer/custodian, are
exclusive of, and in addition to, our investment advisory fee described in Item 5. As discussed above, you may
incur additional fees than those charged by Allegheny, the designated Independent Managers, and corresponding
broker-dealer and custodian.
In addition to Allegheny’s disclosure documents, you will also receive the disclosure documents of any designated
Independent Managers. Certain Independent Managers may impose more restrictive account requirements or
employ different billing practices than Allegheny. In such instances, we may alter our corresponding account
requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of an Independent Manager.
IRA Rollovers
As part of the retirement and/or financial planning process and when it is suitable for the client, Allegheny
Advisors recommend rollovers to an IRA. Clients, and prospective clients, considering a rollover from a qualified
employer sponsored retirement plan (“Employer Retirement Plan”) to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”)
are encouraged to consider the advantages and disadvantages of an IRA rollover from their existing Employer
Retirement Plan.
A plan participant leaving an employer typically has four options (and can engage in a combination of these
options): 1) Leave the money in the former Employer Retirement Plan, if permitted; 2) Transfer the assets to the
new employer’s plan, if one is available and if rollovers are permitted; 3) Rollover the assets to an IRA; 4) Cash
out (or distribute) the assets and pay the taxes due.
Regulatory authorities have advised investors that they have the potential to face increased fees when they
transfer retirement savings from their current Employer Retirement Plan to an IRA. The regulators have advised
Page 6 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
investors that even if there are no costs associated with the IRA rollover itself, there will be costs associated with
account administration, investment management or both. In addition to the fees charged by Allegheny, the
underlying investments (mutual fund, ETF, annuity, or other investment) typically also charge management fees.
Custodial fees also apply. Investing in an IRA managed by Allegheny has the potential to be more expensive than
the current Employer Retirement Plan. We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement
account that we do not manage on your behalf to an account that we manage or provide investment advice,
because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our advisory fees.
Prior to electing to rollover assets from the current Employer Retirement Plan to an IRA an investor should
consider:
•
The type of account investment management desired. For example, is assistance in the management of
investments desired on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis; or is a self-managed account
preferred.
• Available investment choices.
•
The professional assistance available to participants in the current Employer Retirement Plan when
compared to the advisory services offered by Allegheny in an advised IRA account.
The cost of advisory fees.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
• Management expenses associated with the underlying investments in an IRA advisory account vs. the
underlying investment expenses associated with the current Employer Retirement Plan. Often, the
management expenses in the current Employer Retirement Plan are less expensive than in a rollover IRA
advisory account.
Custodial charges in the advised IRA account vs. the current Employer Retirement Plan.
Transaction charges associated with the advised IRA vs. the current Employer Retirement Plan.
The rules pertaining to the required minimum distributions (“RMD”) in the current Employer
Retirement Plan when compared to the advised IRA.
Legal protections afforded to current Employer Retirement Plan participants and to rollover IRA
account owners. Employer Retirement Plans have significant liability protection.
The rules pertaining to beneficiaries of an IRA vs. the current Employer Retirement Plan (inherited
accounts).
The loan provision associated with the current Employer Retirement Plan, if any. IRA accounts do not
have loan provisions.
Employer Retirement Plans that are available from a new employer.
•
You are encouraged to consult with a CPA, tax adviser, the plan administrator and/or legal counsel prior to rolling
over assets from the current Employer Retirement Plan to an advised IRA with Allegheny.

Allegheny, in its sole discretion, has the right to deviate from this schedule. Your total fee may exceed the schedule

Previously established fee schedules will be calculated differently than the schedule stated above, in accordance
with that client’s investment management agreement. Allegheny retains the right to negotiate fees on a client-by-
client basis. Your facts, circumstances, and needs are considered in determining the advisory fee. Allegheny

Investment Management Fees (“IMA”)
Our advisory fee for IMA accounts is calculated as a percentage of the value of billable assets under management
listed on the investment management agreement and will be billed semi–annually, quarterly, or annually. With
your authorization, the advisory fee will be deducted directly from your accounts by a Third-Party Payor or
deducted from your account and paid to Allegheny as outlined in your investment management agreement.
Alternatively, you may choose to receive a bill for services provided in limited circumstances. When a Third-Party
Payor deducts your fee, the advisory fee for assets on its platform will be calculated in arrears. By comparison,
when your fee is deducted from your account or invoiced by Allegheny, the advisory fee will be calculated and
applied in advance. This Brochure and your investment management agreement contains additional information
about this practice. The advisory fee for IMA accounts ranges from 0%-1% per annum.
STAND-ALONE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
Streamlined Account Management Fees (“SAM”)
Our advisory fee for SAM relationships is calculated as a percentage of the value of billable assets under
management listed on the investment management agreement and will be billed quarterly or semi-annually in

your account as outlined in the investment management agreement. The advisory fee for SAM accounts is 0.75%

STAND-ALONE FINANCIAL PLANNING FEES
Flat, Retainer, or Hourly Fees
We reserve the right to negotiate fees for financial planning and other services described above on a flat, retainer,
or hourly basis. Our maximum hourly fee rate is $500.00, and we will negotiate this fee with you in advance. The
fee charged is determined by several factors including, but not limited to, the size and complexity of the portfolio,
your other assets and liabilities, the breadth of the issues explored and any other ancillary advice or services that
you require. The plan created may be comprehensive in nature or may address an individual issue, depending on
your needs. Typically, half of our fee is due upon execution of the contract, and the remainder is due upon
completion of the work. However, you and your Advisor may make other arrangements that are mutually
agreeable to all parties. These arrangements are described in your financial planning agreement.
For financial planning clients, once the financial plan is complete, you may elect to have the plan executed by your
Allegheny Advisor through a non-affiliated broker dealer; you may execute the plan on your own; or you may
choose to have another broker dealer execute the plan. You should understand that lower fees for comparable
services may be available from other investment advisory firms. If you elect to implement your plan with
Allegheny through our Wrap Fee program, refer to Wrap Fee Brochure for additional details about fees.
For additional information, please contact your Allegheny Advisor, who is available to answer any of your
questions.
GENERAL FEE INFORMATION
You have the right to terminate your agreement with us upon 30 (thirty) days’ written notice. In cases where our
advisory fees have been collected in advance and upon termination of your agreement, any prepaid, unearned
fees will be refunded to you. We will prorate the refund according to the number of days remaining in the billing
period.
Other Fees and Expenses
You should understand that the advisory and financial planning fees discussed above are specific to what
Allegheny charges and do not include other charges imposed by third parties, such as custodial fees, mutual fund
fees and other expenses, and Independent Manager fees. Your account(s) may also be subject to transaction fees,
brokerage fees and commissions, retirement plan administration fees, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
Page 9 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. These additional fees and
expenses are described in your management agreement with any such Independent Manager or fund prospectus,
or in other documents provided by those third parties. Other fees are also described in detail in our Wrap Fee
Brochure.
In addition to advisory fees, Allegheny Advisors who are licensed as insurance agents receive additional
compensation on certain insurance products. These additional fees and expenses will increase your overall
investment cost. Receipt of these commissions presents a conflict of interest and gives us an incentive to
recommend an insurance product based on the compensation received. You are not obligated to purchase
insurance products from your Advisor and should understand that lower fees for comparable products may be
available from other, unaffiliated agents.
Private Fund Fees
Our affiliated investment adviser, Allegheny Financial Group (“AFG”) serves as the investment advisor to
certain private funds (“the Funds”) that AI recommends to its properly qualified clients. It receives advisory
fees for its services, which are detailed in each Fund’s offering documents. Certain Funds also charge
performance-based fees (described in Item 6). If we manage an account for you and that account also
holds one or more of the AFG Funds, we do not charge an advisory fee on the value of any such Fund(s) in
your account. Instead, we exclude those Fund assets when we calculate your advisory fees.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side by Side Management
Allegheny Investments does not charge performance-based fees to its clients.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Allegheny provides investment management and financial planning services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities, pension plans,
individual retirement account plans, and profit-sharing plans We do not have a minimum account size for opening
or maintaining an account.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investment Management Services
As described in Item 5, we provide comprehensive portfolio management for clients who select these services. In
providing these services, we provide you with continuous advice regarding the investment of your funds based on
your individual needs. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on your particular
circumstances are established, we will develop your personal investment strategy and create and manage a
portfolio based on that strategy. Your portfolio will typically and primarily be comprised of mutual fund positions,
and we seek to control risk through diversification of assets and by performing ongoing monitoring of the strategy
in relation to the criteria you provide to us. When we invest in mutual funds, we use original and proprietary
investment research conducted by our research department and investment committee. Your Advisor may also
invest your accounts in other types of securities, subject to your investment strategy and any related guidelines as
determined with you during the planning process described above. These other types of securities may include,
but may not be limited to, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stocks, bonds, and in certain cases, private funds as
described herein).
Financial Planning & Other Services
We place a strong emphasis on the financial planning process. Clients who receive financial planning services
generally go through the following process. Not all clients receive full financial planning services.
Page 10 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
a. DEFINE CLIENT OBJECTIVES Our Advisors draw upon their extensive experience and ask questions with
the goals to discover key client issues and concerns, and to build a meaningful evaluation of your finances.
These questions include determining your risk tolerance, education needs, retirement objectives, long and
short-term goals and objectives.
b. DEVELOP A FINANCIAL PLAN We analyze your assets and liabilities and evaluate your risk tolerances to
develop a clear picture of your financial status. This enables us to build a plan to meet your objectives. The
financial plan may contain programs to enhance cash flow, decrease tax liabilities, enhance the funding of
educational goals or a comfortable retirement, or meet a business or organization’s financial goals. Our
planning tools enable us to chart detailed projections to account for factors that impact your finances and
anticipate changing needs. At the end of the process, we provide a very specific set of recommendations.
You will then decide whether to implement these recommendations.
c. IMPLEMENT THE FINANCIAL PLAN We work with a team of specialists to select the most appropriate fund
managers, insurance providers, and risk managers in pursuit of consistent portfolio performance. You may,
but are not required to, engage us to also implement your financial plan, as described within this Brochure.
See Item 4 for additional information about the types of investment management services we offer.
d. MONITOR AND REFINE THE FINANCIAL PLAN We will monitor your portfolio performance, and report to you
through detailed reports, updates, and one-on-one meetings.
Risk of Loss
Allegheny primarily uses mutual funds in its investment strategy. Each mutual fund, in turn, invests in various
underlying securities. Allegheny may also invest directly in similar types of securities. Primary risks include, but are
not limited to:
General Risks
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss – Depending on the different types of investments
selected, there are varying degrees of risk. Prices of publicly traded securities, including mutual funds,
fluctuate daily, sometimes dramatically. Furthermore, it is possible that the value of a security could become
worthless. Clients should be prepared to bear this risk. Your investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency,
entity, or person. If you receive our non-discretionary services, you should consider how the fund fits into your
overall investment program.
Allocation Risks - Investment performance in client portfolios will depend largely on Allegheny’s
decisions regarding strategic asset allocation and tactical adjustments made to the asset allocation in each
client’s portfolio. At times, Allegheny’s judgments as to the asset classes in which clients should invest may
prove to be wrong, as some asset classes may perform worse than others or the equity markets generally
from time to time or for extended periods of time.
Use of Independent Managers - Allegheny is typically authorized by clients to select or recommend
Independent Managers to manage a portion of client assets. We conduct due diligence of such Independent
Managers, but our selections or recommendations rely to a great extent on the Independent Managers’ ability to
successfully implement their investment strategies. In addition, we generally do not have the ability to supervise
the Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis. As a result, there can be no assurance that every Independent
Managers will invest on the basis expected by the firm. Furthermore, because Allegheny will have no control over
any Independent Managers’ day-to-day operations, clients may experience losses due to the fraud, poor risk
management, or recklessness of the Independent Managers.
Risks of Investments
Investing in mutual funds: The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the
possible loss of principal. The price of mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities
Page 11 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at
one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Investing in exchange traded funds (ETFs): The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk,
including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying
securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if
the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if an ETF has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume.
The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being
tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the
day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Market conditions- The prices of, and the income generated by, the common stocks, bonds and other
securities held by the fund (or directly in your account) may decline due to market conditions and other factors,
including those directly involving the issuers of securities.
Investing in growth-oriented stocks- Growth-oriented stocks may involve larger price swings and greater
potential for loss than other types of investments.
Investing in income-oriented stocks- Income provided by the income-oriented stocks may be reduced by
changes in the dividend policies of, and the capital resources available at, the issuers of such securities.
Investing in bonds- Rising interest rates will generally cause the prices of bonds and other debt securities
to fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated
maturity, which may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Longer maturity
debt securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities. Bonds and other
debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken
and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest, and the security will go
into default. Lower quality debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater
price fluctuations than higher quality debt securities.
Investing in securities backed by the U.S. government- Securities backed by the U.S. government are
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are guaranteed only as to the
timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these
securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Securities issued by government sponsored entities and
federal agencies and instrumentalities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Investing in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities- Many types of bonds and other debt securities,
including mortgage-back securities, are subject to prepayment risk, as well as the risks associated with investing in
debt securities in general. If interest rates fall and the loans underlying these securities are prepaid principal in
lower yielding securities, thus reducing the fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates increase and the loans
underlying the securities are prepaid more slowly than expected, the expected duration of the securities may be
extended. This reduces the potential for the fund (or your portfolio directly) to invest the principal in higher
yielding securities.
Thinly traded securities- There is little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds or other debt
securities, which makes them more difficult to value or sell.
Investing outside the United States- Securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States, or with
significant operations outside the United States, may lose value because of political, social, or economic
developments in the country or region in which the issuer operates. These securities may also lose value due to
changes in the exchange rate of currencies which are more volatile and/or less liquid than those in the United
States. Investments outside the United States may also be subject to different settlement and accounting practices
and different regulatory, legal, and reporting standards than those in the United States. These risks are heightened
in connection with investments in developing countries.
Management- The investment advisor to a fund actively manages the fund’s investments. Consequently,
the fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the investment adviser do not produce
the desired results. This could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds
Page 12 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
with similar objectives.
Equity Market Risk- Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the investments in equity strategies.
Factors such as U.S. economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, and political events affect the equity
markets.
Investment Selection Risk- There is no guarantee that our judgments about the attractiveness, value and
potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security are correct and that individual securities will
perform as anticipated. The value of an individual security can be more volatile than the market as a whole or our
intrinsic value approach may fail to produce the intended results. Our estimate of intrinsic value may be wrong or
even if our estimate of intrinsic value is correct, it may take a long period of time before the price and intrinsic
value converge.
Investing in Private Funds - Refer to the Fund offering documents for a complete description of the
investment strategies employed by the Funds and related risks.
Additional Risks
Catastrophic & Market Event Risk - The value of securities may decline as a result of various catastrophic
and other market events, public health emergencies, natural disasters or climate events and other economic,
political, and global macro forces, such as pandemics, natural disasters, wars, and terrorism. Losses resulting from
these events can be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on Allegheny’s business and client
accounts.
Cybersecurity Risk - Cyber incidents affecting Allegheny and its service providers have the ability to disrupt
and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with an advisor’s ability to
value its client’s securities or other investments, impediments to trading, the inability to transact business,
violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement
or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. The use of artificial intelligence by the Adviser,
third-party service providers, or counterparties, could amplify cybersecurity risks. Similar adverse consequences
could result from cyber incidents affecting issuers of invested securities, counterparties to transactions,
governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers,
dealers, insurance companies, and other financial institutions and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may
be incurred to prevent cyber incidents in the future. While business continuity plans and risk management
systems are designed to prevent and mitigate cyber incidents and other disasters, there are inherent limitations
in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be pertinent to your evaluation of the investment firm or the integrity of its employees. Allegheny
does not have any material legal or disciplinary events to disclose.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Affiliated Investment Adviser and Private Funds
As noted previously, Allegheny’s affiliate, AFG, is a registered investment adviser. AFG is under common control
with Allegheny Investments, and the directors of AFG are also the directors of Allegheny Investments.
AFG provides investment advisory services to certain private funds (“Funds”). Some members of Allegheny
management are shareholders and/or general partners or managing members of the Funds. Certain advisory
clients are solicited to invest in these Funds. Funds are only available to accredited investors and involve certain
additional risks. General Partners and other related entities are compensated in accordance with the partnership
offering documents.
Participation Agreement with Unaffiliated Insurance Platform Provider
DPL Financial Partners, LLC (“DPL”) is a third-party provider of a platform of insurance consultancy services to
Page 13 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
SEC-registered investment advisers (“RIAs”) such as Allegheny that have clients with a current or future need for
insurance products. DPL offers RIAs memberships to its platform for a fixed annual fee and offers members a
variety of services relating to fee-based insurance products. The fee is waived for Allegheny since we utilize the
consolidated software partner, Black Diamond.
Allegheny has entered into an agreement with DPL which provides Allegheny clients with access to life insurance
and annuities. DPL performs due diligence on insurance carriers and makes those carriers available to Allegheny
and its clients. For providing platform services to Allegheny, DPL receives service fees from the insurers that offer
their through the platform. These service fees are based on the insurance premiums paid by DPL members’
clients. DPL then compensates Allegheny an Advisory Fee based upon an agreed upon schedule that ranges from
0.25%-1.00%, per annum.
Insurance Agents
Allegheny is a licensed insurance broker and certain members of Allegheny management and other Allegheny
Advisors are licensed insurance agents. As a result, Allegheny and licensed insurance agents receive additional
compensation for the recommendation or purchase of insurance products for Allegheny clients. Allegheny
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits by Allegheny and an Advisor who is also a licensed insurance agent creates a conflict of
interest because there is an incentive for your Advisor to recommend an insurance product based on the
compensation received. Please see the individual Part 2B Supplement for information concerning your Advisor.
Other Professional Services
Some Allegheny Advisors are involved in other business activities including accounting services and other
professional services. Please see the individual Part 2B supplement for information concerning your advisor.
Private Funds
As described in Item 4, Allegheny’s affiliate, Allegheny Financial Group (“AFG”), provides investment advisory
services to private funds. Certain Advisors and other related entities also serve as General Partner or Managing
Member to the Funds. Allegheny recommends the Funds to certain, qualified clients. Such offers to invest in a
Fund are only made to accredited investors, pursuant to the Fund’s offering documents, which describe certain
additional risks. General Partners and other related entities are compensated in accordance with the Fund
offering documents. A list of these related entities is disclosed on Schedule D of the AFG Form ADV Part 1, which
can be accessed at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics
Allegheny has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons describing its high standard of business conduct
and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics requires Allegheny and its supervised persons to act in clients’
best interests, abide by all applicable regulations, avoid even the appearance of insider trading, and pre-clear and
report on many types of personal securities transactions, among other things. All supervised persons at Allegheny
must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire, annually, and as amended. Allegheny’s clients or
prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Allegheny Compliance at the
number listed on the cover page.
In appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, Allegheny will purchase or sell, or
recommend the purchase or sale of, securities in which Allegheny, its affiliates and/or employees, directly or
indirectly, have a position of interest. Allegheny’s supervised persons are required to follow Allegheny’s Code of
Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Allegheny and its
affiliates trade for their own accounts in securities and investments which are recommended to and/or purchased
for Allegheny’s clients. Additionally, supervised persons may not personally purchase or sell a security by
participating in a blocked order alongside Allegheny clients, unless the participating employee account is
managed by Allegheny on a fully discretionary basis. Such employee “managed” accounts are treated as
Page 14 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
Allegheny client accounts and are subject to the same aggregation and allocation policies and procedures as other
clients. Employee accounts that are managed by the firm do not receive preferential treatment in the trade
allocation process.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the
employees of Allegheny will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii)
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. The
Code of Ethics permits employees to invest in the same securities as clients, and while there is a possibility that
employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee, employee trading is
monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Allegheny and its clients.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
As described in Item 4, Allegheny provides discretionary investment management services to certain clients.
Allegheny generally recommends that clients utilize the custody and brokerage services of Fidelity Brokerage
Services (“Fidelity”), which Allegheny believes provides efficient and cost-effective execution. Factors that
Allegheny considers when recommending Fidelity (or other broker-dealer when so authorized) include the
broker-dealer’s financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research, and service. In general, brokers and
custodians like Fidelity are compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related
or asset-based fees for securities trades and other transactions that are executed in customer accounts. Please
see the Wrap Fee Brochure for additional details on the fees charged to Allegheny clients by Fidelity.
Soft Dollar Arrangements
Fidelity also makes available to our firm other products and services that benefit Allegheny but do not always
directly benefit our clients' accounts. Many of these products and services are used to service all or some
substantial number of our client accounts. Fidelity products and services that assist us in managing and
administering our clients' accounts include software and other technology that:
provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements);
facilitate trade execution and trade orders for multiple client accounts;
provide research, and other market data;
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
•
•
•
•
Fidelity discounts or waive fees they would otherwise charge for some of these services. Fidelity also provides
other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment accessible to our personnel. In
evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at Fidelity, we take into account the
availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of
factors we consider. We do not solely rely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services
provided by Fidelity, which creates a conflict of interest. Also, some of the products and services listed above
benefit clients whose accounts are held by other custodians, which could create a conflict of interest between the
clients at Fidelity, who are indirectly paying for the products and services, and the clients at the other custodians
who may benefit from the products and services.
Fidelity’s provision of these products and services is not contingent upon Allegheny formally committing any
specific amount of transactions or business to Fidelity. However, we would not receive these products and
services if client accounts were not held in custody and traded by Fidelity.
Allegheny does not have any traditional soft-dollar arrangements. However, we receive other economic benefits
in the form of monetary support for client appreciation dinners, client seminars, educational conferences and
meetings and related materials sponsored by various financial institutions, including but not limited to
custodians, broker-dealers, mutual funds, TAMP providers, insurance and annuity companies and other vendors.
We also receive monetary support and business development allowances for technology, investment research,
marketing, and advertising from these entities, as well as monetary support and/or guest speakers for client
events. Although the receipt of these additional benefits is not contingent upon Allegheny executing brokerage
Page 15 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
transactions through these entities, you are advised that a conflict of interest exists to the extent that Allegheny
recommends products from these financial institutions or other vendors. However, you are under no obligation to
purchase these products
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not compensate Fidelity or any other custodian or broker-dealer in exchange for client referrals.
Directed Brokerage
For clients who elect to have their accounts held by firms other than Fidelity, we will generally trade securities
with your chosen custodian. If you elect to utilize a different custodian and direct Allegheny to trade through a
particular broker-dealer you should understand that this limits Allegheny’s ability to seek best execution and
trades in those accounts may be subject to different fees than other client accounts.
Trade Aggregation
Allegheny does not typically aggregate client trades in a “blocked” order but may do so when it believes it is in the
best interests of its clients. The Firm maintains policies and procedures that require the allocation of blocked
orders to be carried out in a manner that is fair and equitable to its clients, including that all participating client
accounts in a blocked order will receive an average fill price and share any commission costs (if any)
proportionately. Finally, in the event that a blocked order is only partially filled on a given day, Allegheny will
allocate such partial fills in a fair and equitable manner to participating accounts, typically allocating a pro-rata
portion of the intended allocation to each participating account.
Mutual Fund Share Class Selection
Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes available for investment based upon certain eligibility and/or
purchase requirements. For instance, in addition to retail share classes (typically referred to as class A, class B and
class C shares), funds may also offer institutional share classes or other share classes that are specifically designed
for purchase by investors who meet certain specified eligibility criteria, including, for example, whether an
account meets certain minimum dollar amount. Institutional share classes usually have a lower expense ratio
than other share classes. When recommending investments in mutual funds, it is our policy to review and
consider available share classes. Our policy is to select the most appropriate share classes based on various
factors including but not limited to: minimum investment requirements, trading restrictions, internal expense
structure, transaction charges, availability, and other factors. When considering all the appropriate factors, we
can select a share class other than the ‘lowest cost’ share class. In order to select the most appropriate share
class, we consider retail, institutional or other share classes of the same mutual fund. Regardless of such
considerations, clients should not assume that they will be invested in the share class with the lowest possible
expense ratio. Allegheny periodically reviews the mutual funds held in client accounts to select the most
appropriate share classes in light of its duty to obtain best execution.
Share classes of a mutual fund may also differ in terms of transaction charges. Share classes that can be traded
with a broker/custodian without a transaction charge (“NTF Funds”) do not charge a fee for each transaction but
generally have a higher expense ratio than share classes of the same fund that do carry a transaction fee. When
recommending or selecting share classes of mutual funds for our clients, we generally avoid using share classes
that incur transaction fees. Based on your financial situation, we will generally purchase NTF Funds with a higher
expense ratio to avoid the potential cost of incurring repeated transaction fees. In some instances, this practice
will cause you to pay higher total expenses. The impact of the higher expense share class varies based on the
amount of assets invested in the fund and the number of transactions. Refer to Wrap Fee Brochure for additional
information about this practice.
Use of Independent Managers
As described in Item 4, Allegheny selects or recommends Independent Managers to manage a portion of client
assets, based upon the stated investment objectives of the client. Typically, the Independent Manager is engaged
to manage the designated client assets on a discretionary basis. As a result, the brokerage practices of the
Independent Manager apply to those mandates. Allegheny monitors the Independent Manager’s trading
Page 16 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
activities through ongoing due diligence.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Your Advisor will monitor your investment management accounts ongoing, in conjunction with our compliance
team. Advisors typically contact PMA clients at least semi-annually and offer to schedule meetings with clients at
least annually to review account performance and discuss any changes in client finances, financial goals, or
profile. Allegheny relies in part on technology but also reviews and audits other information. The frequency of
review meetings with other investment management clients is determined between the Advisor and each client.
Each financial plan or report is reviewed by at least one Allegheny Advisor in addition to the Advisor preparing the
plan.
We typically provide reports to clients annually; however, the frequency and content of reports provided may
differ as determined by you with your Advisor and indicated in your investment management agreement.
Allegheny Advisors and home office personnel are available during normal business hours to answer questions or
other inquiries you may have.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not accept or allow supervised persons to accept any form of compensation, including cash, sales awards,
or other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the advisory services we provide to our clients. From time to
time, Allegheny may compensate others for client referrals. When compensating others, Allegheny will follow the
requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and any corresponding securities law
requirements. At the time of the referral Allegheny will disclose the nature of the relationship. Promoter
arrangements will not result in any additional fees to clients.
Item 15 – Custody
We do not maintain physical custody of client funds or securities. However, Allegheny is deemed to have custody
of client assets in certain situations where we (or a related person) have the authority to obtain possession of
client funds or securities. When Allegheny is deemed to have custody, we will follow the requirements of rule
206(4)-2
For example, Allegheny typically is granted authority to debit its advisory fee directly from client accounts. Clients
receive statements at least quarterly from the qualified custodian that holds and maintains the client’s
investment assets. Allegheny urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial
records to the reports that we provide to you. Our reports may vary from custodial statements based on
accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. The account custodian
does not verify the accuracy of Allegheny’s advisory fee calculations.
Allegheny also engages in other practices and/or services on behalf of its clients that require disclosure
in ADV Part 1, Item 9. Some of these practices and/or services are subject to an annual surprise CPA
examination in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940.
Item 16 – Discretion
We provide investment management services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Non-
discretionary services require clients to pre-approve investment transactions in their accounts before they can
occur, whereas “discretionary” services authorize Allegheny to buy, sell or hold investment positions without
obtaining pre-approval from clients for each transaction. You will choose if you want Allegheny to provide
investment management services on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. When you choose discretionary
Page 17 of 18
Form ADV Part 2A
management, Allegheny receives limited authority from you to select the identity and amount of securities to be
bought or sold and to select the broker-dealer used to execute such transactions (as described in greater detail in
Item 12). You must provide written authorization to grant us discretionary authority. This discretion is exercised
in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for your account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, we observe the investment policies, limitations,
and restrictions provided by you. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Allegheny in
writing. Notwithstanding the above, Allegheny does not exercise discretion with respect to client
investments in private investments. When we recommend a private investment to you, our
recommendation is made on a non-discretionary basis and you will retain the authority to decide
whether to invest in any recommended private investment. No such investment will be made without
your prior consent and completion of the applicable subscription documents or independent manager
documents.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to, and do not, vote proxies on behalf of
advisory clients. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained
in your portfolios. You will receive proxies or other solicitations directly from your custodian or transfer agent.
We will provide you with assistance regarding proxy issues upon request.
Item 18 – Financial Information
As a registered investment adviser, we are required to provide you with certain financial information or
disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
For certain clients, Allegheny requires or solicits payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than six
months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we have included financial statements from an independent
auditor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of Directors and Members
Allegheny Investments, LLC
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Independent Auditors Report on the Audit of the Statement of Financial Condition
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Allegheny Investments, LLC
(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related notes (referred to as the “statement of
financial condition”).
In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement of Financial Condition section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance
with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Statement of Financial Condition
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of financial
condition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
fair presentation of the statement of financial condition that is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the statement of financial condition, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the statement of financial
condition is issued or available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement of Financial Condition
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of financial condition is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the
judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statement of financial condition, whether
due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
statement of financial condition.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
statement of financial condition.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Independent Accountant's Report on the Review of the Statement of Income, Changes in
Members' Equity and Cash Flows
We have reviewed the accompanying statements of income, changes in members’ equity and cash flows
of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to these financial
statements. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data
and making inquiries of management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective
of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Statement of Income, Changes in Members' Equity and
Cash Flows
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying statements of
income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the
related notes to these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
2
Accountant’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform
procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the financial statements for them to be in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that the results of
our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.
We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our reviews.
Accountant’s Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
accompanying statements of income, change in members’ equity, and cash flows of the Company in
order for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations – Allegheny Investments, LLC (the “Company”) is a financial planning firm, offering
access to a wide range of financial products and services, and specializing in consumer-oriented financial
planning.
On January 1, 2025, the Company executed a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”,)
which resulted the conversion of Allegheny Investments, Ltd. (the prior Company) into Allegheny
Investments, LLC. The Company was formed in the State of Delaware on January 1, 2025, as a result of a
conversion, as a limited liability company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. At the date of
the LLC Agreement, all of the existing capital of Allegheny Investments, Ltd. was allocated to the members of
the Company in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, which is described in further detail in
Note 7 – Members’ Equity.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles 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 financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Other Receivables – Other receivables consist of revenue due to the Company, related primarily to commissions
and service fees earned in the last month of the calendar year, being a distributor for various investment and
insurance products, as well as reimbursement due from the advisors to the Company for the payment of E&O
Insurance. The Company has reviewed the accounts receivable balance, and management considers the balance
at year-end to be substantially collectible
Premises and Equipment – Premises and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.
Depreciation – Depreciation is calculated using straight-line and various accelerated methods over the useful
lives of the assets.

Furniture and fixtures
Economic Life/ Recovery Period
3–40 years
Leasehold improvements
7–10 years
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $118.
Advertising Costs – The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs in the year in which they occur.
Concentrations of Credit Risk – The Company’s principal activities include sales of securities, real estate
partnerships, annuities, and insurance contracts with most of the clients located in the western Pennsylvania area.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any
significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows – For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments,
purchased with maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and money market accounts. The
Company invests its excess cash in various types of short-term investments. For the year ended
December 31, 2025, the Company’s money market account balance exceeded federally insured limits by
$387,801.
2.
RENEVUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the main types of revenue recognized by the Company are as follows:
Investment Advisory Fees – The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company
believes the performance obligation for providing investment advisory services is satisfied over time because
the customer is receiving the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Advisory fee arrangements are based
on a percentage applied to the customer’s assets under advisement. Advisory fees are invoiced and received
quarterly or semi-annually but are recognized as revenue over the time they relate specifically to the services
provided in that period. Advisory fees collected at the beginning of a service period are deferred and recognized
as revenue as the service period elapses.
Commissions Revenue – The Company buys and sells securities, insurance, and annuities on behalf of its
customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission.
Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date the Company fills the trade
order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company
believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying
financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and rewards of ownership
have been transferred to/from the customer.
3.
CORPORATE INCOME TAXES
The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company
is not subject to income taxes; instead, the members are taxed on their respective share of the Company earnings.
The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740,
Income Taxes. Under that guidance, the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that
tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances, and information available at
the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is
available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. There is currently no liability for uncertain tax
positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in other expenses on the Statement of Income. The Company’s
federal and state income tax returns for taxable years ending prior to 2022 are closed for purposes of examination
by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
4.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company is involved in a joint profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code with
the other member of its controlled group. All full-time employees are eligible for the plan, regardless of age or
years of service. The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, make a discretionary contribution
into the Plan during the year. The Company’s allocated contribution was $0 to the plan during the year ended
December 31, 2025.
