−Removed: Until December 13, 2012, we were a development-stage company that focused on promoting and placing a proprietary poker game online and into casinos and entertainment facilities nationwide.

−Removed: Since that time, we have remained a public reporting company filing periodic reports with the SEC.
−Removed: We engage in the business of providing short-term specialty finance solutions, typically in the form of short-term loans, primarily to small businesses, both private and public, and high-net-worth individuals.
−Removed: To avoid regulation under the 1940 Act, we generally seek to structure our investments so they do not constitute “securities” for purposes of federal securities laws, and we monitor our investments as a whole to ensure that no more than 40% of our total assets consist of “investment securities” as defined under the 1940 Act.
+Added: SUI Group Holdings Limited (the “Company”, or “we”), formerly known as Mill City Ventures III, Ltd., is a Minnesota corporation headquartered in Wayzata, Minnesota.
+Added: The Company changed its name to SUI Group Holdings Limited on August 26, 2025, following an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State.
+Added: This name change and concurrent rebranding marks a change in strategy toward blockchain-native treasury management.
+Added: Prior to the rebrand, the Company operated under the name Mill City Ventures III, Ltd.as a publicly traded specialty finance company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MCVT”.
+Added: Its legacy business centered on issuing short-term, collateralized loans to small businesses and individuals, with a focus on generating high-yield returns.
+Added: To support the digital asset strategy, the Company completed a $ 450 million private placement in July 2025 (the “Private Placement”).
+Added: Following the capital raise, the Company began implementing its SUI treasury strategy, acquiring over 73 million SUI tokens in addition to the 33 million tokens received as in-kind consideration from the Private Placement.
+Added: To further institutionalize its position within the Sui ecosystem, the Company formalized its relationship with the Sui Foundation through Digital Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“the Foundation Agreement”), under which the Sui Foundation agreed to sell tokens to the Company.
+Added: This agreement provides formal recognition of the Company as a digital asset treasury company with official backing from the Sui Foundation.
+Added: In connection with this strategy, the Company changed its ticker symbol to “SUIG” and transitioned its operations to focus on institutional-grade exposure to the SUI digital asset.
+Added: The Company’s strategy is to maximize the SUI per-share and support the growth of the Sui ecosystem through scalable, transparent, and long-term value creation strategies.
+Added: Its common stock remains listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and continues to be available for options trading on Cboe Global Markets.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
+Added: Basis of presentation:
+Added: The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
+Added: In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as well as its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
+Added: The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein.
+Added: Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates.
+Added: Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by rules and regulations of the SEC.
+Added: Accordingly, the condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation.
+Added: These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025, as amended by Amendment No.
+Added: 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
+Added: Change in application of ASC 946:
+Added: As discussed in “Note 1 – Organization”, the Company has changed its strategy during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and as a result the Company will no longer apply the guidance of ASC 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies .
+Added: The Company will account for this change on a prospective basis.
Use of estimates:
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management and our independent board members to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management and independent members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: For more information, see the “Valuation of portfolio investments” caption below, and “Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments” below.
−Removed: The Company presents its financial statements as an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in ASC 946.
−Removed: Cash deposits:
−Removed: We maintain our cash balances in financial institutions and with regulated financial investment brokers.

+Added: Cash and cash equivalents:
+Added: The Company maintains the cash balances in financial institutions and with regulated financial investment brokers.
+Added: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
+Added: Cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 include $ 3,271,853 of USD Coins (USDC), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S.
+Added: Digital assets:
+Added: The Company has adopted ASU 2023-08 , Digital Assets , which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of digital assets.
+Added: The standard was adopted prospectively, and no cumulative-effect adjustment was recorded upon adoption.
+Added: The Company accounts for its digital assets, including SUI tokens, in accordance with ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
+Added: The Company has determined its digital assets meet the scoping criteria of ASC 350-60, which requires eligible crypto assets to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
+Added: Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement, using quoted prices in active markets.
+Added: The Company has designated Coinbase as its principal market because it has the greatest volume and level of activity of SUI for determining the fair value of SUI tokens.
+Added: The activity from remeasurement of digital assets at fair value is reflected in the statements of operations within Unrealized gain/loss on digital assets.
+Added: Realized gains and losses from the derecognition of digital assets would be included in the Realized gain/loss on digital assets in the statements of operations.
+Added: Although the Company has not disposed of any digital assets during the reporting period, in the event that there are disposals in the future, the Company will use the specific identification method to calculate the realized gains/losses on digital assets.
+Added: Sales and purchases of digital assets are reflected as cash flows from investing activities in the statement of cash flows.
+Added: Contributions of digital assets received as part of the consideration received are presented as noncash investing and financing activities in the statements of cash flows.
Valuation of portfolio investments:
−Removed: We carry our investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
+Added: In connection with the change in accounting methods from ASC 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies, the Company ceased applying investment company accounting and transitioned to accounting standards applicable to operating entities, in light of the change in its business model.
+Added: Concurrently, the Company elected to apply the fair value option under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments, as it relates to the portfolio investments.
+Added: The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively from the date of the election of ASC 825 – Financial Instruments.
+Added: Portfolio investments are valued in accordance with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources.
−Removed: In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by our Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of our executive management, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and any independent third-party valuation experts that may be engaged by management to assist in the valuation of our portfolio investments, but in all cases consistent with our written valuation policies and procedures.
−Removed: Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material.
−Removed: In addition, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities.
−Removed: If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
−Removed: Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value.
+Added: In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources, portfolio investments are measured at fair value as determined by the Board, based on, among other things, the input of our executive management, the Audit Committee of the Board, and any independent third-party valuation experts that may be engaged by management to assist in the valuation of the Company’s portfolio investments, but in all cases consistent with our written valuation policies and procedures.
+Added: Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these portfolio investments existed, and these differences could be material.
+Added: In addition, such portfolio investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities.
+Added: If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which it has been recorded.
+Added: Accounting guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring portfolio investments at fair value.
Observable inputs must be used when available.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available.
+Added: Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are to be categorized into one of the three hierarchy levels based on the relative observability of inputs used in the valuation.
−Removed: The three levels are defined as follows:
−Removed: Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
−Removed: Observable inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about what inputs a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

−Removed: NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
−Removed: June 30, 2025
−Removed: Our valuation policy and procedures:
−Removed: Under our valuation policies and procedures, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, and then apply the resulting information in determining fair value.
−Removed: For our Level 1 investment assets, our valuation policy generally requires us to use a market approach, considering the last quoted closing price of a security we own that is listed on a securities exchange, and in a case where a security we own is listed on an over-the-counter market, to average the last quoted bid and ask price on the most active market on which the security is quoted.
−Removed: In the case of traded debt securities the prices for which are not readily available, we may value those securities using a discounted cash flows approach, at their weighted-average yield to maturity.
−Removed: The estimated fair value of our Level 3 investment assets is determined on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors.
−Removed: In general, we value our Level 3 equity investments at cost unless circumstances warrant a different approach.
−Removed: Examples of these circumstances includes a situation in which a portfolio company has engaged in a subsequent financing of more than a de minimis size involving sophisticated investors (in which case we may use the price involved in that financing as a determinative input absent other known factors), or when a portfolio company is engaged in the process of a transaction that we determine is reasonably likely to occur (in which case we may use the price involved in the pending transaction as a determinative input absent other known factors).
−Removed: Other facts and circumstances that may serve as an input supporting a change in the valuation of our Level 3 equity investments include (i) a third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional, (ii) changes in the performance of long-term financial prospects of the portfolio company, (iii) a subsequent financing that changes the distribution rights associated with the equity security we hold, or (iv) sale transactions involving comparable companies, but only if further supported by a third-party valuation conducted by an independent and qualified professional.
−Removed: When valuing preferred equity investments, we generally view intrinsic value as a key input.
−Removed: Intrinsic value means the value of any conversion feature (if the preferred investment is convertible) or the value of any liquidation or other preference.
−Removed: Discounts to intrinsic value may be applied in cases where the issuer’s financial condition is impaired or, in cases where intrinsic value relating to a conversion is determined to be a key input, to account for resale restrictions applicable to the securities issuable upon conversion.
−Removed: When valuing warrants, our valuation policy and procedures indicate that value will generally be the difference between the closing price of the underlying equity security and the exercise price, after applying an appropriate discount for restriction, if applicable, in situations where the underlying security is marketable.
−Removed: If the underlying security is not marketable, then intrinsic value will be considered consistent with the principles described above.
−Removed: Generally, “out-of-the-money” warrants will be valued at cost or zero.
−Removed: For non-traded (Level 3) debt instruments with a residual maturity less than or equal to 60 days, we will generally value such instruments based on a discounted cash flows approach, considering the straight-line amortized face value of the debt unless justification for impairment exists.
−Removed: For level 3 non-banking loans with a maturity in excess of 60 days, fair value is determined based on the initial purchase price and adjusted as necessary to reflect any changes in the financial strength of the creditor and changes in interest rates in the high-yield credit markets.
−Removed: On a quarterly basis, our management provides members of our Board of Directors with recommendations, if any, to change any existing valuations of our portfolio investments or hierarchy levels for purposes of determining the fair value of such investments based upon the foregoing.
−Removed: In such a case, the Board of Directors would then discuss these materials and, consistent with the policies and approaches outlined above, makes final determinations respecting the valuation and hierarchy levels of our portfolio investments.
−Removed: We made no changes to our valuation policy and procedures during the reporting period.
−Removed: Income taxes:
−Removed: We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
−Removed: The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized.
−Removed: In making such determination, we consider all available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.
−Removed: In the event we were to determine we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
