# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2024

# **1. ORGANIZATION**

Mutual of America Securities LLC (the "Company") was established on June 29, 1990, pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mutual of America Holding Company, LLC (the "Parent"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mutual of America Life Insurance Company ("Mutual of America").

The Company is chartered as an introducing broker-dealer on behalf of affiliated companies with respect to transactions in listed and over-the-counter equity securities. The Company will not operate as an introducing broker-dealer until and unless its Board of Managers adopts controls and procedures governing its operations as an introducing broker dealer. The Company is the principal underwriter and distributor of Mutual of America's variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

## **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

## *Cash*

Cash is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash exceeded the amount of insurance provided by the FDIC, but management views this risk as minimal.

#### *Investments*

The Company's investment portfolio consists of an investment in a bond mutual fund sponsored by MoA Funds Corporation ("MoA Funds"), an affiliated entity. The mutual fund is valued at quoted closing market prices and classified as a Level 1 security. Security transactions for the Company's portfolio are recorded on a trade date basis. The Company does not have any items of other comprehensive income, and therefore, a statement of comprehensive income is not presented.

## *Prepaid Assets*

Prepaid assets are expenses paid for a future period. These expenses are capitalized and amortized into expenses over the life of the prepaid asset, typically one year.

## *Capital Contributions*

The Company did not receive any capital contributions from its Parent for the year-ended December 31, 2024.

#### *Estimates by Management*

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### *New Accounting Pronouncements*

The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07, *ASC 280 Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,* as of December 31, 2024.
