(the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years 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 the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 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. # **Supplemental Information** The Schedule I – Computation of Net Capital under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II – Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirement and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the "supplemental information"), has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Company's financial statements.

(the Company), an Oregon corporation, was incorporated on June 20, 2005. The Company is registered as a securities broker pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated (the Parent). The Company commenced operations in November 2006. #### *(b) Basis of Presentation* The financial statements and footnotes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). #### *(c) Revenue Recognition* Revenues from contracts with customers include intermediary fee income. The recognition and measurement of revenues 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, whether multiple performance obligations exist and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. # *Intermediary Fee Income* The Company is engaged as a limited purpose broker-dealer, which primarily receives intermediary fees in the form of compensation from select direct writing life insurance companies and financial service providers (Financial Service Providers) for providing intermediary services that may be based upon the volume of premiums and type of variable insurance and other financial service products sold by Member Firms. Intermediary fee income is recorded on an issue date basis as transactions occur. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the issue date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. Such revenues primarily arise from transactions in insurance and other financial service products. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, three carriers represented approximately 80% and 76% of the company's revenue, respectively. # *(d) Intermediary Fee Receivables* Management believes intermediary fees receivable at December 31, 2023 and 2022 are collectible; accordingly, no provision for uncollectible accounts has been recorded. Intermediary fee receivables are reviewed regularly for credit losses and if deemed necessary an allowance will be established. {10}------------------------------------------------ (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 ## *(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents* The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits, money market instruments, and investments, primarily commercial paper. For purposes of the Statements of Financial Condition and Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Amounts may exceed federally insured limits, but management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant risks. ## *(f) Short-Term Investments* Short-term investments are comprised primarily of short-term commercial paper with a remaining maturity of greater than three months, but less than one year, when purchased, and are reported at amortized cost plus accrued interest. # *(g) Income Taxes* The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by the Parent. The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the tax consequences in future years of the differences between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end, based upon statutory income tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets, if any, to their estimated realizable values. The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized income tax benefits in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merits, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized income tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any unrecognized income tax benefits. # *(h) Credit Losses* The Company accounts for estimated credit losses in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses*. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties, and if deemed necessary, an allowance will be established. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 no allowance for credit losses has been recorded. # *(i) Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. {11}------------------------------------------------ (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 # *(j) Subsequent Events* The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued, noting no material events that would require disclosure. # **(2) Net Capital and Reserve 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. The Company has elected to use the basic method, permitted by the rule, which requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6-2/3% of the aggregate indebtedness balance, as defined. The net capital rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if resulting regulatory net capital would be less than 5% of aggregate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has regulatory net capital of \$5,096,187 and \$4,767,353, which is \$4,980,854 and \$4,637,205 in excess of its required net capital of \$115,333 and \$130,148, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 0.34 to 1.00 and 0.41 to 1.00, respectively. The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34- 70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company carries no customer accounts and, therefore, does not hold funds or securities for, or owe funds or securities to, customers. # **(3) Related-Party Transactions** The Company's Parent allocates certain overhead and indirect expenses to the Company. These overhead and indirect expenses include, but are not limited to, those expenses related to shared occupancy, equipment, utilities, consulting, technology, employees, supplies and administrative costs of the Company. Direct expenses are incurred and expensed by the Company. Such direct expenses include, but are not limited to, registrations, assessments, fees, taxes and outside professional services, which are specific to the Company. All expenses are paid by the Parent and then reimbursed by the Company to the Parent. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, \$475,133 and \$877,787, respectively, was payable to the Parent for expenses. The Company currently earns net income to support its operations, however, the Parent has represented that in the event the Company may no longer have revenues large enough to fund its operations, the Parent will provide financial support to the Company until such time that the revenues earned are sufficient to cover the Company's operating expenses and required net capital. {12}------------------------------------------------ (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 In cases where the Company has excess capital from operations it may pay dividends to its Parent. In 2023 and 2022, the Company paid dividends to its Parent of \$12,225,000 and \$12,407,000, respectively, a portion of which was treated as a return of contributed capital. In 2023 and 2022, the returns of contributed capital totaled \$2,866,625 and \$2,834,049, respectively, as a result of the Company's income tax sharing agreement with the Parent (note 4). #### **(4) Income Taxes** The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return and certain state income tax returns filed by its Parent. The Company also files its own separate income tax returns in various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years prior to 2020. For purposes of the financial statements, federal and state income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed separate federal and state income tax returns. The provisions for income taxes included in the Statements of Operations are as follows: | | 2023 | 2022 | |----------|-----------------|-----------------| | Current | \$

\$ | 3,934,653 | | | | | {13}------------------------------------------------ # **M FINANCIAL SECURITIES MARKETING, INC.** (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 The Company has an income tax sharing agreement with the Parent. Under the income tax sharing agreement, the Company shall pay the Parent the amount of federal income tax, if any, that the Company would have paid had the Company filed a separate federal income tax return for such year. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, \$1,254,215 and \$1,074,431, respectively, is payable to the Parent for income taxes. Also under this agreement, the Company's income taxes payable to the Parent shall be calculated by taking into account the Company's allocated share based on a stand-alone calculation of the Parent's Member Firm Compensation Plan (MFCP) expense that would have been generated by the Company had the Company filed its income tax return separately. The income tax related to the MFCP expense is not included in the Company's provision for income taxes calculation but is treated as a capital contribution from the Parent and as a reduction in the payable for income taxes in accordance with the separate income tax return allocation methodology. This contribution of capital is a noncash transaction in the amounts of \$1,817,823 and \$1,711,317 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company's provision for income taxes is calculated on both a stand-alone basis and on a consolidated basis. The Company records the stand-alone basis provision for income taxes. The difference between the stand-alone basis provision for income taxes calculation and the consolidated basis provision for income taxes calculation is treated as a capital contribution from the Parent. This contribution of capital is a noncash transaction in the amounts of \$1,048,802 and \$1,122,732 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The temporary differences that give rise to deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 relate to the following: | | 2023 | 2022 | |---------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|--------------| | Deferred income tax assets: | | | | Lease liability | \$
6,113 | \$
14,986 | | Deferred state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect | 2,463 | 6,805 | | Net deferred income tax assets | \$
8,576 | \$
21,791 | The Company believes that the deferred income tax assets listed above are fully recoverable and, accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company bases its assessment as to the realizability of the deferred income tax assets on available evidence including historical and projected operating results, estimated reversals of temporary differences and, where applicable, tax planning strategies. Estimates as to the realizability of deferred income tax assets are subject to change. {14}------------------------------------------------ (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 ## **(5) Concentrations of Credit Risk** The Company is engaged in various activities in which counterparties primarily include Financial Service Providers. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. #### **(6) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments** The financial instruments of the Company, which consist of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition at carrying values that approximate fair values, because of the short maturities of the instruments. ## **(7) Commitments and Contingencies** The Company, its Parent, and its Parent's subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, may be subject to litigation in the normal course of their business. Currently there is no known litigation involving the Company. The Company is also unaware of any pending litigation. ## **(8) Regulatory Matters** As a regulated entity, the Company may be subject to certain audits, examinations, reviews, etc., by various regulatory agencies in the ordinary course of its business. In May 2022, MFSM was subject to a FINRA cycle examination. The examination involved reviews of organization charts, written supervisory procedures, anti-money laundering (AML) independent testing, general business activities and general ledger/trial balances. The examination was closed in June 2022 with no findings. {15}------------------------------------------------ **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION PURSUANT TO RULE 17A-5 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934** {16}------------------------------------------------ (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated) #### Schedule I – Computation of Net Capital under #### Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission #### December 31, 2023 | Computation of net capital: | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Total stockholder's equity in the Statement of Financial Condition | \$
