### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Equity Owner NewEdge Securities, LLC and Subsidiary

#### Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of NewEdge Securities, LLC and Subsidiary (a Pennsylvania limited liability company) (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NewEdge Capital Group, LLC, as of December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

{5}------------------------------------------------

![](_page_5_Picture_0.jpeg)

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 opinion.

## NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements of NewEdge Securities, LLC and Subsidiary include the accounts and balances of NewEdge Securities, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, LPA Insurance Agency, Inc. (the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NewEdge Securities, LLC was incorporated under the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in December 1981 under the name Mid Atlantic Capital Corporation. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of NewEdge Capital Group, LLC (the "Parent"), a Delaware corporation. The Company is a securities broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Authority ("FINRA"). The Company has a nationwide customer base that includes institutional, corporate, and individual investors.

LPA Insurance Agency, Inc. was incorporated under the State of California in July 1998. The company provides insurance and investment related products and services principally to individuals.

The Company utilizes National Financial Services, LLC ("NFS"), a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., on a fully disclosed basis in connection and clearance of the securities transactions effected by the Company and its customers. The Company also utilizes National Securities Clearing Corporation for the execution and clearance of mutual fund transactions. As such, the Company operates under the full provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 15c3-3.

# NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

## Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual balances could differ from those estimates.

#### Securities Transactions and Commissions

The Company clears its securities transactions on a fully disclosed basis through its clearing broker. Under the clearing agreement the Company indemnifies the clearing broker for losses incurred on clearing transactions and carrying accounts for customers. Under this agreement, the clearing broker requires the Company to maintain a cash deposit and may withhold other amounts due the Company. The clearing broker is subject to various regulations which require certain specified levels of regulatory capital, initial and maintenance margin for customer accounts and reserves to protect balances held by customers and broker-dealers. The Company receives payment from the clearing broker monthly for commissions and other income it collects on behalf of the Company. Due to the short-term nature of receivables related to commissions and other income and the fact that the Company has not and does not experience any significant losses related to its clearing arrangement it has not recorded a credit loss allowance.

{8}------------------------------------------------

Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are recorded on the trade date. Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade date basis. Customers' securities transactions are reported on a settlement date basis with related commission income and expenses reported on a settlement date basis. In the opinion of management, the differences in settlement date versus trade date recording is not considered material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Securities owned are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

## Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains balances on deposit with financial institutions (banks) and its clearing organizations. Those organizations are located in Pennsylvania (financial institutions) and Massachusetts (clearing organizations). Accounts at the financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company's cash balances may exceed the insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses associated with these accounts.

## Segment Reporting

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 280 as the Company qualifies within the FASB standard which incorporates all issuer and non-issuer broker-dealers. This requires all public entities, including those within a single reportable segment, to disclose additional information about the reportable segments.

## Margin Liability

In the normal course of business, the Company may borrow money from its clearing organization to purchase securities in its proprietary accounts. The borrowings are secured by the securities and bear interest at the short-term borrowing rate of the clearing organization. Margin borrowings are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

## Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company accounts for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and offbalance sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the contractual term of its financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2025, the allowance for doubtful accounts was \$0.

## Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

{9}------------------------------------------------

The Company is included in the U.S. consolidated income tax return of the Parent for the year-ended December 31, 2025.

Income taxes are determined by the Company on a separate company basis as if the Company had filed separate returns. Certain states may require the Company to file its own separate returns. The tax provision (or benefit) allocated to the Company under the separate company basis is reported as a component of income tax expense and net in the Payable to Related Parties line in the consolidated statement of financial condition. If there is a difference between the settlement amount paid to or received from the Parent and the current allocation, the difference is treated as either a dividend or a capital contribution in the financial statements.

The Company reports all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related valuation allowances, as noncurrent in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.

Effective October 1, 2024, NewEdge Securities, Inc. filed a conversion to the state of Pennsylvania to convert to a Limited Liability Company; there was no tax effect as a result of this change.

The company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated statement of financial condition. There were no interest and penalties during the year ended December 31, 2025.

GAAP prescribes rules for recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure in the Consolidated Financial Statements of uncertain tax provisions taken or expected to be taken in the Company's tax returns. Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized tax benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can the be no assurance that the Company's tax returns will not be challenged by taxing authorities and that the Company will not be subject to additional tax, penalties and interest as a result of such challenge. Generally, the Parent's federal and certain of the Company's state tax returns remain open for income tax examination for three years from the date of filing.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through expanded rate reconciliation and income tax paid disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this guidance impacted the Company's income tax disclosures but did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position.

## Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective and applicable to the Company. Based on this evaluation, management does not expect the adoption of these accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

{10}------------------------------------------------

## Leases

The Company utilizes ASU No. 2016-02, Leases to account for lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases previously classified as operating leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the lease liability and are adjusted for prepayments and initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The Company calculates the current value of leases based upon prevailing interest rates.

## NOTE 3 - SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has identified the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) as the Board of Directors; which is represented by their President and CFO. Both reside within the corporate office in Pittsburgh, PA of the Company, along with the CEO of the Parent company. Both Contribution Margin and Net Income are used to measure the results of the business, primarily reporting, budgeting and reforecasting processes. Even though the CODM evaluates the Company's performance using the four Revenue segments listed below, they also manage the business activities utilizing information of the Company as a whole.

Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (See Note 10), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits and pay dividends. The account policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including principal transactions, brokerage, annuities and insurance contracts, mutual fund fees, and bank deposit sweep programs. The CODM and management review internal financial statements monthly to assess the performance of the operating segment.

## NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE

#### Fair Value Hierarchy

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income, or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company can access at the measurement date.

{11}------------------------------------------------

- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

## Processes and Structure

Management is responsible for the Company's fair valuation policies, processes, and procedures. These control processes are designed to ensure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to insure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and is consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable.

## Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

U.S. Government Securities: U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

Municipal Securities: Municipal securities are priced by independent pricing services, typically obtained from dealers and trade prices. Municipal securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the significant inputs are observable.

Corporate Bonds: The fair value of corporate bonds is determined using recently executed transactions. market price quotations (when observable), bond spreads or credit default swap spreads obtained from independent external parties, such as vendors and brokers, adjusted for any basis differences between cash

{12}------------------------------------------------

and derivative instruments. When position-specific external price data is not observable, fair value is determined based on either benchmarking to similar instruments or cash flow models with yield curves, bond, or single-name credit default spreads and recovery rates as significant inputs. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; In instances when prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities: Equity securities and mutual funds are generally valued based on quoted prices from the exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied, and they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's financial assets and liabilities consisted of securities owned at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased - at fair value.

The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

| Total Assets         | \$ 1.625.213 |
|----------------------|--------------|
| Stockholder's Equity | 1,092.287    |

Principally, all the stockholder's equity of the subsidiary is included as an addition to capital in the consolidated computation of the Company's net capital, because the net assets of the subsidiary are readily available for the protection of the Company's customers, and other creditors, as permitted by Rule 15c3-1.

{15}------------------------------------------------

## NOTE 10 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company, as a registered broker-dealer in securities, is subject to the net capital rule adopted by the SEC and administered by FINRA. This rule requires that the Company's "aggregate indebtedness" not exceed fifteen times its "net capital" as defined. FINRA may require a broker-dealer to reduce its business activity if the capital ratio should exceed 12 to 1 and may prohibit a broker-dealer from expanding business if the ratio exceeds 10 to 1. At December 31, 2025 the Company's net capital under the uniform net capital rule was approximately \$8.9 million, which exceeded the minimum capital requirement of \$299,790 by approximately \$8.6 million. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31, 2025, was .51 to 1.

# NOTE 11 -FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution and settlement of various customer securities transactions.

The Company clears securities transactions on behalf of customers through its clearing broker. In connection with these activities, customers' unsettled trades may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet credit risk in the event customers are unable to fulfill their contracted obligations with the clearing broker. As of December 31, 2025, there were no liabilities that the Company is subject to indemnify its clearing broker for losses sustained from customer transactions introduced by the Company.

# NOTE 12-COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

## Litigation, Claims and Assessments

The Company is named as a defendant in other pending litigation. The matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact, if any, with respect to these matters as of December 31, 2025. The Company believes the matters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its positions.

## NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

The Company is an LLC and disregarded from its Parent company for income tax purposes. The Parent company is taxed as a corporation for federal income taxation purposes. Accordingly, the Company reported income tax for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company is adopting ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company made tax payments and received refunds during the year ended December 31, 2025, as follows:

{16}------------------------------------------------

| Net cash paid (refunds received) for income taxes consisted of the following: |        | 2025    |  |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|---------|--|
| Federal<br>Aggregated state and local jurisdictions                           | S<br>S |         |  |
| Disaggregated state and local jurisdiction:<br>Pennsylvania                   | S      | 235,226 |  |
| Net cash paid (refund received) for income taxes                              | S      | 235,226 |  |

The deferred tax assets recognized and included under the caption "Deferred Tax Assets" in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

## Deferred Tax Assets

| Lease Liabilities<br>Goodwill and Intangibles<br>Less: Valuation Allowances | S | 457,300<br>1.482,187 |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---|----------------------|

| Property and Equipment<br>Right of Use Assets                               | S | (8,913)<br>(457.150  |
| Total Deferred Tax Liabilities                                              |   | (466.063             |
| Net Deferred Tax Assets                                                     |   | 1 473 47             |

The deferred tax asset for Goodwill and Intangibles is a result of the ultimate parent's acquisition of the Company whereby pushdown accounting was not applied to the separate financial statements of the Company. The Company, however, maintains tax Goodwill and Intangibles as a result of the acquisition and accordingly recognizes a corresponding Deferred Tax Asset for the difference in carrying values.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets. After considering these factors, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be fully realized, and as a result, no valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets was deemed necessary at December 31, 2025.

The tax-related payable due to the Parent as of December 31, 2025 is \$1,198,250.

## NOTE 14 - LEASES

The Company leases certain office facilities in multiple states. The primary lease held by the Company is a sublease agreement with affiliate Mid Atlantic Capital Group, Inc. that was entered in 2024 and continued

{17}------------------------------------------------

into 2025. The amounts due over the course of the sublease were also recorded and presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition, with those amounts due in the next 12 months classified as a short-term liability and those due after 12 months classified as a long-term liability.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception based on the presence of identified assets and the Company's right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit from, or to direct the use of, such assets. The Company's operating lease activities primarily consist of leases for real estate and equipment. The Company does not currently have any financing leases. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms generally ranging from one to six years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company has real estate lease agreements which may include non-lease components that relate to the lease components (e.g., common area maintenance such as cleaning or landscaping, insurance, etc.). The Company expenses any non-lease components as incurred.
