## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

## To the Shareholder of JDL Securities Corporation

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of JDL Securities Corporation as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the 15 months ended December 31, 2025 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 IDL Securities Corporation as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 15 months then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Footnote #9, JDL Securities Corporation changed its fiscal year-end from September 30 to December 31. As a result of this change, the accompanying financial statements present the fifteen-month period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of JDL Securities Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on JDL Securities Corporation'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 free 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 opinion.

#### Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information

Schedule 1- Computation of Net Capital Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule 2-Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) and Schedule 3-Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of JDL Securities Corporation's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of JDL Securities Corporation's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental 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 presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the schedule's 1, 2. and 3 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2018.

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FIFTEEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

## (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Nature of Business

JDL Securities Corporation, (the FIRM) is a California corporation that is a securities broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of J. Derek Lewis & Associates, Inc. (JDLA), a registered investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The FIRM is subject to a minimum net capital requirement of \$5,000 pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-1 and currently operates pursuant to Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073. The FIRM's primary business consists of selling mutual funds. The FIRM does not hold customer funds or securities. The FIRM requires no collateral for its trade receivables.

Effective December 31, 2023 the FIRM removed all 529 accounts. The last 529 12B1 payment received was in December 2023. Per FINRA requirements the FIRM updated its Membership Agreement with FINRA on January 19, 2024 removing all municipal business from business activities. Consequently, the FIRM ended membership in the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB.

#### Method of Accounting

The FIRM maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA.

#### SIPC

The FIRM annually files the Form SIPC-3-Certification of Exclusion From Membership.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the FIRM considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Revenue Recognition

On October 1, 2018, the FIRM adopted ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASU 606") using the modified retrospective method of adoption. ASC 606 created a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or services to a customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include-

- a Interest
- b. Mutual fund and 12b-1 fees

Refer to the following Revenue Recognition Note- "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" for further discussion on the FIRM's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED FIFTEEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

## (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. Continued

#### Revenue from Contracts with Customers

#### Mutual Fund (Pooled Investment vehicles) and 12b-1 fees

Mutual funds or pooled investment vehicles (collectively, "funds") have entered into agreements with the Company to distribute/sell its shares to investors. Fees are paid up front and over time (12b-1 fees) based on average daily value of assets under management on the basis of a contractual rate applied to the monthly or quarterly market value of the fund (that is, net asset value), the fund may also pay, upon investor exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. Revenue is recognized monthly as services are provided.

#### Income Taxes

For the period from October 1,2024 through September 30,2025, the FIRM filed consolidated federal and state income tax returns with its parent, JDLA. The FIRM was allocated a portion of the consolidated income tax liability based on its share of net income.

Effective October 1, 2025, the FIRM elected to be treated as a qualified Subchapter S subsidiary ("QSub") of its parent for federal and applicable state income tax purposes, concurrent with the parent's election to be treated as an S corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of this election, the Company will generally no longer be subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes and is treated as a disregarded entity, and all of the Firm's assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses are included in and reported as part of its parent.

The FIRM has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes-Overall-Recognition, which requires them to disclose unrecognized tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences that existed while the FIRM was a taxable C corporation and for any corporate-level taxes that may be imposed on bult-in gains recognized during the applicable recognition period under Internal Revenue Code section 1374 or other similar provisions. FASB ASC 740 also requires the FIRM to recognize any interest and penalties associated with its tax positions. Management believes, more likely than not, that tax positions taken will be sustained. The FIRM believes that it has no uncertain tax positions.

#### Impact of New Accounting Standards

The FIRM is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as required.

#### (2) INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

The accompanying financial statements present the results of operations for the period from October 1. 2024 through December 31. 2025. During the period from October 1. 2024 through September 30. 2025 (the "C corporation period"), the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and was included in Parent's consolidated U.S. federal and certain state corporate income tax returns. Effective October 1, 2025 (the "S corporation period"), Parent elected to be treated as an S corporation for federal and certain state income tax purposes, and the Company was deemed to be and has since been treated as a qualified Subchapter S subsidiary ("QSub"). As a QSub, the Company is disregarded as a separate entity for income tax purposes and its income, deductions and credits are reported in Parent's S corporation return. The Company remains subject to certain state and local taxes, if applicable.

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

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED FIFTEEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

#### (2) INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT), Continued

The Company's income tax provision is determined as if the Company filed separate income tax returns for the periods in which it is included in Parent's consolidated income tax filings. Under this separate return methodology, the Company recognizes current and deferred income taxes in its financial statements as if it were a stand alone taxpayer. Amounts due to or from Parent related to income taxes are included in "Due to (from) Parent" in the accompanying balance sheet.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

| Current income tax expense:<br>Deferred income tax benefit: | 47,940<br>(14.000) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| Total income tax expense:                                   | 33.940             |

Current income tax expense relates to the C corporation period from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. The related income tax payable of \$50,000, which represents amounts due to Parent under the tax sharing arrangement, remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Prior to the S corporation election, the Company recognized deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a deferred tax liability of \$14,000, primarily related to basis differences in accounts receivable and accounts payable.

In connection with Parent's election to be taxed as an S corporation effective October 1, 2025, and the Company's concurrent qualification as a QSub, management concluded that the temporary differences underlying the Company's deferred tax liability would reverse in periods in which the Company is not subject to entity level income tax and are not expected to give rise to built in gains tax or other corporate level tax within the consolidated group. Accordingly, the Company derecognized its net deferred tax liability of \$14,000 in the S corporation period and recorded a corresponding deferred income tax benefit in continuing operations. This discrete item is presented in the income tax rate reconciliation as "Change in tax status." The Company did not incur entity level income tax expense during the S corporation period from October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

For the C corporation period from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, income before income taxes was \$166,936. A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate (including the effect of state income taxes) to the Company's effective income tax rate for the C corporation period is as follows:

| U.S. federal statutory income tax rate (including state, net of tederal benefit): | 29.84%  |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| Change in tax status (derecognition of deferred taxes):                           | (8.39)% |
| Other, net:                                                                       | 0.231%  |
| Effective income tax rate:                                                        | 21.23%  |

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED FIFTEEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

## (5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

#### EXPENSE-SHARING AGREEMENT

The Firm operated under the expense sharing agreement, with its parent, JDLA, dated January 23, 2023, and most recently updated effective September 1, 2024. Under this agreement, certain administrative, payroll and other expenses are initially paid by JDLA and reimbursed by the Firm, while other administrative and travel expenses are initially paid by the FIRM and subsequently reimbursed by JDLA. The expenses are allocated between the entities based upon the ratio of clients affiliated with the parent versus those only affiliated with the Firm. The expenses reimbursed to the Firm by its parent under this agreement during the period October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 total \$23,595. The expenses reimbursed by the Firm to its parent under this agreement during the period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 totaled \$412,317. \$98,793 related to the agreement is receivable from JDLA at December 31, 2025, and there was no amount receivable at December 31,2024.

#### PAYROLL PROCESSING AGREEMENTS

To facilitate payroll processing efficiencies, effective January 1, 2023, the Organizations entered into a Paymaster Processing Service Level Agreement whereby all payroll related processing will be handled through the parent company, JDLA. All payroll related costs that are applicable to commissions generated by the Registered Reps under the Firm are reimbursed to the parent as described in the Paymaster agreement. The total amount of reimbursement from the FIRM to the parent under this agreement during the period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 was \$1,034,343.

#### RETIREMENT PLAN

The parent company of the FIRM, JDLA, continues the 401 (K) plan adopted in January 1, 2013. Under the Plan, employees over the age of 21 and who have completed 1 month of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Employees have the option of making retirement contributions to their account by reducing their salary on the Pre-Tax or Roth Elective Deferral basis. The plan offers a Company Safe Harbor Match up to 4% of employee's gross salary deferral for all eligible employees. Employer contributions are vested immediately. As of year-end, JDLA has contributed \$119,123 to the Plan during the year.

#### Parent Company

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of J. Derek Lewis & Associates, Inc. During 2025, ownership of the parent company changed as a result of an employee buyout. The transaction did not result in a change in control of the Company, and the parent company continues to be the Company's ultimate controlling party. The change in ownership of the parent company did not have a material impact on the Company's operations, financial position, or results of operations.

#### (6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions occurring after year-end through the date that the financial statements were available for issuance which was March 23, 2026. No transactions or events were found that were material enough to require recognition in the financial statements.

{13}------------------------------------------------

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED FIFTEEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

#### (7) SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT

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, agency transactions, investment banking, investment advisory, and venture capital businesses. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 8), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting 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 did not derive 10% or more of its total revenues from any single external customer during the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2025.

#### (8) NET CAPITAL

The FIRM is subject to a \$5,000 minimum capital requirement pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-1, which requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital shall not exceed 15 to 1. The net capital and the related net capital ratio fluctuate on a daily basis; however, as of December 31, 2025, the net capital was \$27,074 which exceeded the required minimum capital of \$8,690 by \$18,384. The aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 4.814 to1.

#### (9) CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END

During the current year, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present a transition period of fifteen months from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025. Management believes this change is preferable as it aligns the Company's reporting period with that of its parent/affiliates/industry peers and enhances comparability with those entities.

As a result of this change, the amounts presented for the current period are not directly comparable to those of the prior period, which covered the twelve months ended September 30, 2024.

We have performed the procedures included in Rule 17a-5(e)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in the Securities Investor Protection (SIPC) Series 600 Rules, which are enumerated below, on the accompanying Amended Certification of Exclusion from Membership (Form SIPC-3) for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Management of JDL Securities Corporation (the Company) is responsible for its Form SIPC-3 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-3.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the exclusion requirements from membership in SIPC under section 78ccc(a)(2)(A) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, as noted on the accompanying Form SIPC-3. Additionally. SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures we performed and our associated findings are as follows:

- 1) Compared the Total amount included in the accompanying Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues prepared by JDL Securities Corporation for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025 to the total revenues in JDL Securities Corporation's audited financial statements included on Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part III for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, noting no differences;
- 2) Compared the amount in each revenue classification reported in the Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues prepared by JDL Securities Corporation for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025 to schedule of excluded revenue, noting no differences;
- 3) Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the Total Revenues amount reflected in the Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues prepared by JDL Securities Corporation for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025 and in the related schedule of excluded revenue, noting no differences.

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-3 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-3 for the period October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.
