(the "Company") as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of income, 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 FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **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 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** The information in Schedules I, II, and III (the "supplemental information") has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company'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 supplemental information in Schedules I, II, and III is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as FIMCO Securities Group, Inc.'s auditor since 2021.

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** # **Business Activity** FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Wisconsin on March 25, 1992. The Company is registered as a broker and dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company markets securities, annuities, unit investment trusts and mutual funds through savings and loans, banks and other financial institutions. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below. # **Use of Estimates** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. # **Concession Receivable** Concession receivable consist of 12b-1 fees. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is not considered necessary as the Company collects all amounts in the subsequent month. ### **Allowance for Credit losses** The Company has implemented ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update require a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Company evaluates whether an allowance for credit losses is necessary, which represents the portion of the receivable that the Company does not expect to collect over its contractual life, considering past events and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company's allowance for credit losses on its receivables is based on specific collectability facts and circumstances for each outstanding receivable and the associated collection risk. The Company determined no allowance for credit loss was necessary on December 31, 2023. #### **Revenue Recognition** The Company follows a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. # **Income Taxes** The Company's earnings are taxed directly to its stockholder for federal and state income tax purposes under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in {10}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements** # **December 31, 2023** the accompanying financial statements. The Company accounts for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as tax expense. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. and Wisconsin income tax examinations for years ending before December 31, 2020. # **2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers** #### **Significant Judgments** The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. #### **12b-1 Fee Income** The Company earns 12b-1 fees in accordance with selling agreements. Fees are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received monthly or quarterly and are recognized as revenue in the month or quarter that relates specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. #### **Disaggregation of Revenue** Based on the Company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, no further disaggregation of revenues is deemed necessary as all revenue streams were similar in nature. # **3. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 net capital of \$23,626. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness was 64.1 to 1. # **4. Related Party** The Company's principal place of operations is the stockholder's primary residence. The stockholder does not charge the Company occupancy or other operating expenses. The Company has made payments to Mark Henry, a related party to the sole stockholder Fred Henry, for assistance with regulatory reporting requirements. #### **5. Subsequent Events** The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or discourse through the date the financial statements were issued, noting none. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Financial Statements** **December 31, 2023** # **Schedule I: Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 and Computation of Aggregate Indebtedness** | Computation of Net Capital: | | |------------------------------------------------|--------------| | Stockholder's equity | \$

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying exemption report, in which (1) FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. section 15c3-3(k) under which FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. claims an exemption from 17 C.F.R. section 240.15c3-3(k)(1) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. stated that FIMCO Securities Group, Inc. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 without exception. FIMCO Securities Group, Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements. Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about FIMCO Securities Group, Inc.'s compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
