(the Company) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes ( collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash·flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are f r ee of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opm10n. #### **Supplemental Information** The accompanying information contained in Schedules I, II, and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information. In fanning our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its fonn and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as the Company's auditor since at least 1985, but we are unable to determine the specific year. 1 {5}------------------------------------------------ ## Principal Securities, Inc December 31, 2023 Statement of Financial Condition | Assets | | |------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| | Cash and cash equivalents | \$

Organization and Nature of Business Principal Securities, Inc. ("the Company") is an introducing broker-dealer, that clears transactions on a fully disclosed basis, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Section 15(b)(11) of the Exchange Act and a member with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Additionally, the Company is federally registered as an Investment Adviser. The Company primarily engages in the solicitation and sale of securitiesrelated products and services to retail investors. Such offerings may include: Brokerage Services, Advisory Services, Investment Company products, and variable products. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc. ("PFSI"), who in turn is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("PFG"), a Delaware business corporation. ## 2. Significant Accounting Policies ### Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ### Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company's cash equivalents include demand deposits, and short-term pooled funds. The Company holds its cash in bank accounts with balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limits. The Company has an arrangement whereby its short-term funds are pooled with the funds of other affiliates and invested by PFSI, an affiliate. The Company has access to these funds at any time and is credited with interest based on the 30-day LIBOR index. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements ## 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) #### Unearned Revenue Unearned revenue represents amounts received related to the conversion of fully disclosed clearing and managed investment platforms. The Company received \$9,000,000 as part of the conversion to National Financial Services, this amount is being amortized straight line as a contra expense over the seven-year contract period beginning October 2017. Unearned revenue related to this is \$1,017,857 as of December 31, 2023. The Company also has \$1,000,000 of Business Development Growth Revenue that will be recorded as earned when the proper terms are met. #### Revenue Recognition The Company enters into selling and distribution agreements with the obligation to sell or distribute the securities products, such as mutual funds, annuities and products sold through RIAs, to individual clients and a Retirement Plan sponsor in return for front-end sales charges, 12b-1 service fees, annuity fees and asset-based fees. Front-end sales charges and annuity fees are related to a single sale and earned at the time of sale. Some mutual funds have a daily obligation to sell and distribute. These securities products generate 12b-1 service fees which are calculated daily and received only when fully earned. The Company uses the passage of time to measure the progress of this performance obligation. The Company receives the majority of these fees monthly for satisfying the performance obligations. The Company also enters into agreements with individual customers to provide securities trade execution and custody through a brokerage services platform in return for ticket charge and other service fee revenue. These services are bundled as one single distinct service referred to as brokerage services. This revenue is related to distinct transactions and is earned at a point in time. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### Notes to Financial Statements ## 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) The Company also enters into agreements with individual customers to provide trade execution, clearing services, custody services and investment research services through our proprietary offered fee-based products. These services are bundled as one single distinct service referred to as advisory services. The Company receives the majority of advisory fees quarterly for satisfying the performance obligations. A majority of advisory fees are recorded as RIA commission revenue, a portion of which is paid to the advisor assisting the retail customer and recorded as RIA commission expense. In addition, for non-proprietary RIA business the Company performs sales and distribution services only. The revenues are earned over time as the service is performed utilizing the output method. The portion that is not subject to payout to the advisor is referred to as Non-Grid Revenue in the Statement of Operations. Non-Grid revenue includes fees earned by the Company for sponsoring the RIA programs, including outside RIA business, as well as the portions of revenue used to cover trade execution, clearing services, custody services, and investment research services. The Company also enters into agreements with firms for revenue share for the sale and retention of their products. A majority of our revenue is based upon contractual rates applied to the market value of the clients' portfolios and considered variable consideration that is constrained. Costs to fulfill the contracts with customers include commissions paid to agents for sales and servicing of the related mutual funds, annuities and products sold through RIAs. Since the customers can leave at any time, they are considered to be constantly renewing their contract. As such, the contract is looked at as "day to day" and each month of service is considered a renewal. Since the commissions are commensurate along the contract term and the anticipated period of benefit, as a practical expedient the Company concludes that the renewal commission is specifically related to the renewal period and no costs are deferred. #### Pass Thru Revenue and Expense Pass Thru Revenue and Pass Thru Expense within the statements of operations represents revenue the Company records that is passed directly onto other business units within PFG. The Company is the Broker Dealer that holds the contract for this revenue. The Company records the revenue and expense at the same time as the revenue is earned. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements ## 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ### Federal and State Taxes on Income The Company is taxed as a division of PFG at corporate rates based on existing tax laws. Current income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effect of temporary differences in the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses using enacted income tax rates and laws. The effect on deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period in which the change is enacted. ### Subsequent Events The Company's management has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. ## 3. Income Taxes #### Income Tax Expense The Company's taxable income or loss is generally included in the consolidated income tax return filed by PFG, the Company's ultimate parent. PFG has adopted the policy of allocating income tax expense and benefits to members of its consolidated group based upon their pro rata contribution of taxable income or loss. The Company received tax reimbursements from PFG of \$12,766,233 in 2023. The Company's income tax receivable balance is due from PFG. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements ### 3. Income Taxes (continued) Our income tax expense/(benefit) was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2023: | Current income taxes: | | |-----------------------------|-----------------| | U.S. Federal | \$ (10,334,843) | | State | (2,633,767) | | Total current income taxes | (12,968,610) | | Deferred income taxes: | | | U.S. Federal | \$
1,891,099 | | State | 46,260 | | Total deferred income taxes | \$
1,937,359 | | Total income tax benefit | \$ (11,031,251) | | | | #### Effective Income Tax Rate The Company's provision for income taxes may not have the customary relationship of taxes to income. A reconciliation between the U.S. corporate income tax rate and the effective income tax rate is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2023: | U.S. corporate income tax rate | 21.0
% | |---------------------------------------|-----------| | State tax | 4.8 | | Stock compensation | 0.5 | | Nondeductible meals and entertainment | (0.1) | | Effective income tax rate | 26.2
% | | | | #### Unrecognized Tax Benefits The amount of unrecognized tax benefits calculated for the Company as of December 31, 2023 is not material to the Company's financial position. Therefore, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, that if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is immaterial. The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income taxes in operating expenses. The Company recognized no accumulated pre-tax interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in 2023. We do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months. {14}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements ### 3. Income Taxes (continued) #### Net Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of net deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2023, were as follows: | Deferred income tax assets: | | |-----------------------------------------|-----------------| | Employee benefits | \$
476,473 | | Deferred losses | 519,397 | | Stock compensation | 602,587 | | Other | 16,799 | | Total deferred income tax assets | 1,615,256 | | Deferred income tax liabilities: | | | Prepaid expenses | (384,634) | | Total deferred income tax (liabilities) | (384,634) | | Total net deferred income tax assets | \$
1,230,622 | | | | In management's judgment, total deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. #### Other Tax Information The U.S. federal statute of limitations expired for years prior to 2015. The IRS is currently auditing our U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years 2015-2018 and 2019-2022. The statutes remain open through normal statute extensions. We do not expect the results of these audits, subsequent related adjustments, or developments in other tax areas for all open tax years to significantly change the possible increase in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, but the outcome of tax reviews is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur. We believe we have adequate defenses against, or sufficient provisions for, contested issues, but final resolution could take several years depending on whether legal remedies are pursued. Consequently, we do not believe issues that might arise in tax years subsequent to 2014 will have a material impact on our net income. {15}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements ### 4. Net Capital Requirements The Company is an introducing broker-dealer and clears certain securities transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with National Financial Services LLC ("NFS"), their current clearing broker-dealer. The Company promptly transmits all customer funds and securities to the clearing broker-dealer. In connection with this arrangement, the Company is contingently liable for its customers' transactions. The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2023, the Company had defined net capital of \$15,026,356, which was \$13,415,850 in excess of its required net capital of \$1,610,506. The SEC rules related to the calculation of minimum net capital requirements require the Company to maintain capital at least equal to 6- 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, with a minimum fixed dollar amount of \$250,000. ### 5. Related-Party Transactions As set forth on the statements of operations, the Company receives the following fees from PLIC and Principal Fund Distributor (PFD): - The Company collects commissions for the sale of Principal Mutual Funds via PFD and variable annuity and flexible variable life products offered by PLIC, Principal Product Network and Principal National Life. Amounts recorded by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 were \$114,390,693. - The Company receives distribution fees (Rule 12b-1) from Principal Mutual Funds via PFD and nonproprietary mutual funds used by other product lines offered under the Distribution fees and Pass-Thru revenue line items.

The reimbursement is intended to offset the expenses associated with the sale of the products, but only to the extent such expenses are expected to exceed the revenues generated by the Company from the sale of those products. Any excess reimbursements shall be calculated and returned as soon as practical after the end of each calendar year.

Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in and subject to asserted and unasserted claims from customers and other contractual disputes. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any potential losses that may result from these actions. The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff, but primarily as a defendant. Litigation naming the Company as a defendant ordinarily arises out of the Company's business operations as a provider of asset management and accumulation products and services. Some of the lawsuits are class actions, or purport to be, and some include claims for punitive damages. In addition, regulatory bodies, such as, the SEC, FINRA and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning the Company's compliance with, among other things, securities laws and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. The Company receives requests from regulators and other governmental authorities relating to other industry issues and may receive additional requests, including subpoenas and interrogatories, in the future. While the outcome of any pending or future litigation or regulatory matter cannot be predicted, management does not believe that any pending litigation or regulatory matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position. The outcome of such matters is always uncertain, and unforeseen results can occur. It is possible that such outcomes could materially affect net income in a future period. ### The Legacy of Angels Foundation v. Principal Securities, Inc., et al.
