In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Meeder Distribution Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 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 Meeder Distribution Services, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Meeder Distribution Services, Inc.'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 Meeder Distribution Services, Inc. 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. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### Supplemental Information The schedule of Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reconciliation with Company's Computation of Net Capital as Included in Part IIA of Form X-17A-5, and Computation of Reserve Requirement under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Meeder Distribution Services, Inc.'s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Meeder Distribution Services, Inc.'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.

Organization Meeder Distribution Services, Inc. (the Company) has been operating as a brokerdealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the State of Ohio Securities Division; it is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company operates pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3(k)(1). Customer accounts held directly at a product issuer for which the Company is listed as the broker-dealer of record. The Company does not hold customer funds or safeguard customer securities. On April 29, 2020, the Company changed its name from Adviser Dealer Services, Inc. This was done to conform to SEC Regulation Best Interest, specifically the capacity disclosure requirement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company is licensed in 47 states, excluding Florida, Maryland, and Texas. ## B. Management's Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. # C. Cash The Company maintains cash balances at one bank and in several money market accounts. The cash balance in the bank was under the federally insured limit of \$250,000 as of December 31, 2024. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash in checking accounts and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. {11}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** # **DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023** # Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued ## D. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and commissions receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions, which at times may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company's receivables represent commissions from completed securities trades. ## E. Fair Value Measurements Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FASB Statement No. 157), establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB Statement No. 157 are described below: - Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. - Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. {12}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** # **DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023** # Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued ## E. Fair Value Measurements (continued) The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024. *Money Market Funds*: Valued at the net asset value ('NAV") of shares held by the Company at year end. | Assets (2024) | Level 1 | Level 2

The change in the resulting difference between cost and market is included in net trading profits in the statement of income. The Company's activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. Margin transactions are subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements and are collateralized by cash and securities in the Company's accounts. Commission expense is also recorded on a trade-date basis as security transactions occur. {13}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** # **DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023** # Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued #### G. Receivables Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed. Management individually reviews all receivable balances and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. In the opinion of management, all receivables are considered collectible and no allowance was necessary at December 31, 2024. Accounts receivable – related party are stated at the amount billed. Registered representative affiliation fees, commission charge backs and other costs that are the responsibility of registered representatives or entities with common control are offset against amounts owed to these representatives or entities. If the balance of the debits owed to the Company exceeds the amount owed to the registered representatives or the entities, the net balance owed to the Company is recorded as a receivable. ## H. Government and Other Regulations The Company's business is subject to significant regulations by various governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Such regulation includes, among other things, periodic examinations by these regulatory bodies to determine whether the Company is conducting and reporting its operations in accordance with the requirements of these organizations. As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 which requires that the Company maintains a minimum net capital, as defined [see Note 3]. ## Note 2 – Reserve Requirements The Company is not obligated to report under SEC Rule 15c3-3 since it does not maintain customer accounts or hold securities. Therefore, the Company does not have a reserve requirement nor does it have any information relating to the possession or control requirement under Rule 15c3-3. ## Note 3 – Net Capital Requirements (Schedules I and II) Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, the Company is required to maintain net capital of not less than the greater of 6.67% of total liabilities, exclusive of subordinated debt, for the year ended December 31, 2024, \$32,562 or \$5,000. At December 31, 2024 the Company's net capital as defined by SEC Rule 15c3-1 was \$57,488 in excess of the minimum net capital required. In addition to the minimum net capital provision, SEC Rule 15c3-1 requires that the Company maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to capital, of not more than 15 to 1. At December 31, 2024 the ratio was 5.4239 to 1. {14}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** # **DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023** ## Note 4 – Related Parties The Company is the Distributor and principal agent for the sale and distribution of the Meeder Funds. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company is entitled to reimbursement under the Meeder Funds Shareholder Distribution Plan for costs actually incurred by the Company, which is included in the related party receivable in the accompanying balance sheet. These services accounted for \$72,527 in revenues during the year. The Company is affiliated through common ownership with Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (MAM), which provides marketing services and other overhead costs. At December 31, 2024, the Company owed MAM \$151,095 for the above mentioned services, which is included in the related party payable in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company is also paid a fee by MAM for various administrative services relating to licensing of representatives. These services accounted for \$4,480,014 in revenues during the year. The Company from time to time invests cash balances in the Meeder Funds Money Market Fund (the Fund). The Fund is managed by MAM, and certain officers of the Company, Meeder Investment Management, Inc., and MAM are also officers and/or trustees of the Fund. At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents included \$555,364 invested in the Fund. # Note 5 – Income Taxes Meeder Investment Management, Inc. files a consolidated income tax return which includes the Company and other related entities. Meeder Investment Management, Inc. has elected to be treated as an S corporation under the provision of Section 1362(a) of the internal Revenue Code (IRC), and the Company qualifies as a QSUB as defined by the IRC, which allows for the Company's income to be taxed directly to Meeder Investment Management, Inc. As a result, no provision for federal income taxes has been recognized. The Company recognizes and discloses uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). As of and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities prior to 2017. # Note 6 – Concentrations The Company has revenue and receivables from various sources. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 2% and 100% of revenues and receivables, respectively, are attributable to Meeder Funds. {15}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** # **DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023** ## Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies All commitments such as leases have been entered into by an affiliated corporation and recorded on the financial statements of that entity. The commitments do not impact the operations or financials of MDS. As of the audit opinion date, MDS has not currently entered into any commitments that would be reflected in the company's liabilities nor require a reduction in its net capital computation or disclosure in the financial statements. As of the audit opinion date, MDS is not aware of any contingencies that would be reflected in the company's liabilities nor require a reduction in its net capital computation or disclosure. # Note 8 – Subsequent Events Management has reviewed all events subsequent to December 31, 2024, up to the date of audit report (February 24, 2025) and has not encountered any subsequent events that effect the current financial statements or that require additional disclosure. ## Note 9 – Reportable Segment Disclosure The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer. 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 Supplementary Information-Schedule I), 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.
