The accompany notes are an integral part of this statement of financial condition.

{6}------------------------------------------------

#### **1. Organization and Description of the Business**

Lloyds Securities Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 11, 2010, is wholly owned by Lloyds America Securities Corporation, (the "Parent"). The ultimate parent of the Company is Lloyds Banking Group plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. 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").

The Company's business activities include investment banking and institutional sales with respect to U.S. and foreign debt securities. The Company operates as an introducing broker and clears all transactions with and for customers through its U.S. clearing broker or its foreign affiliate.

#### **2. Significant Accounting Policies**

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The statement of financial condition has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 31, 2025 have been made.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company defines cash equivalents as short-term interest bearing investments with maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less, that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

#### **Securities Owned**

Securities owned are used in the Company's investment activities and are recorded at fair value in the statement of financial condition. Transactions in securities owned are recorded on a trade date basis.

#### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company categorizes the financial instruments carried at fair value on its statement of financial condition based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable valuation inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure a financial instrument cross different levels of the hierarchy, categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Refer to Note 9 for details of valuation techniques and significant inputs to valuation models.

#### **Fees Receivable from Contracts with Customers**

Fees receivable from contracts with customers primarily includes amounts arising from debt security offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter. The Company assesses expected losses based on the nature of the receivables, consideration of all relevant factors and history of credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has concluded that no provision is required.

#### **Principal Transactions**

All securities transactions are recorded on trade date.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### **Income Taxes**

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences, tax loss carryforwards, and tax credits. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is believed that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company is a member of a federal consolidated tax return filed with the Parent, and it is also a member of a combined group in filing various state and local income tax returns. The separate return method is used by the Company to compute its current and deferred tax items reported in the statement of financial condition. Under this method, the Company is assumed to file separate income tax returns in all jurisdictions, and thereby, paying the applicable taxes to or receiving the appropriate refunds from its parent where applicable. Any amounts due to or due from its parents are reported as inter-company payable or receivable.

Uncertain tax positions, if any, are evaluated in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Uncertain tax positions are recorded in a two-step process in which (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the statement of financial condition.

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the statement of financial condition in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial condition during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, such as deferred tax.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### **Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company is engaged in various trading, brokerage and underwriting activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default is affected by the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. As of December 31, 2025, one uninsured short-term interest bearing Certificate of Deposit ("CD") and one Treasury Bill represented 85% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and three financial institutions represented 55% of the Company's fees receivable from contracts with customers balance. All cash is held at one financial institution and exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") coverage of \$250,000. As of December 31, 2025, management does not believe there is a significant risk of nonperformance with respect to such deposits and receivable balance.

#### **3. Regulatory Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-1"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.

The Company has elected, and was approved by FINRA, to use the alternative method, permitted by SEC Rule 15c3-1, which requires that the Company maintains minimum net capital, as defined by the SEC and FINRA. At December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$210,457,593, which was \$210,207,593 in excess of the required net capital of \$250,000.

The Company operates as an introducing broker and clears all of its transactions with and for customers through its U.S. clearing broker dealer. Accordingly, the Company does not carry any customer accounts and claims exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3 under section (k)(2)(ii). In addition, the Company acts as agent for its foreign affiliate in securities trades that its affiliate conducts with US investors. These trades are cleared by its affiliate and the Company claims exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3 under section (k)(2)(i).

#### **4. Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities**

The Company's other assets are comprised of the following:

| Interest receivable<br>Prepaid expenses | \$<br>1,555,785<br>321,215 |
|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| Total                                   | \$<br>1,877,000            |

The Company's accrued expenses and other liabilities are comprised of the following:

| Payable to affiliates     | \$<br>3,940,298  |
|---------------------------|------------------|

| Accrued other expenses    | 599,361          |
| Total                     | \$<br>10,239,013 |

{9}------------------------------------------------

#### **5. Income Taxes**

The Company files a U.S. federal tax return that is filed on a consolidated basis with the Parent. Any federal tax receivable and payable among the members in the federal consolidated group, are settled through a tax sharing agreement. The Company is a member of a combined group in filing various state and local income tax returns. Any taxes receivable and payable among members in the combined group, are settled through a tax sharing agreement.

The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

| Deferred tax assets                    |                 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------------|
| Foreign related party interest accrual | \$<br>596,715   |
| Deferred compensation                  | 886,325         |
| Start-up costs                         | 4,124           |
| Total deferred tax assets              | 1,487,164       |
| Deferred tax liabilities               | -               |
| Net deferred tax assets                | \$<br>1,487,164 |
|                                        |                 |

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. No valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 2025 as a result of management's evaluation.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions. Additionally, it is the belief of management that the total amount of uncertain tax positions, if any, will not materially change over the next 12 months.

The federal, state and local income tax returns for 2022, 2023 and 2024 are open for examination by the tax authorities. There are no penalties recorded at December 31, 2025.

#### **6. Employee Compensation and Benefits**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of \$1,492,567 of additional liabilities to be accrued over an average of 3 years associated with the compensation deferral program and sharebased compensation.

#### **401(k) Plan**

The Company participates in a defined contribution 401(k) plan ("the Plan'') sponsored by Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc ("LBCM") in which substantially all employees are eligible to participate. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is required to make contributions to the Plan equal to 100% of the contributions made by each Company participant, up to certain limits.

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

#### **Compensation Deferral Program**

The Company's ultimate parent, Lloyds Banking Group plc, implemented a cash bonus deferral program in March 2010. Under the Company's compensation deferral program, a portion of the employees' estimated compensation over a certain threshold amount is deferred and is expected to vest over an average of 3 years. An individual with a deferral must be an employee of the Company on vesting date to receive payment.

#### **Share-Based Compensation**

The Company's ultimate parent, Lloyds Banking Group plc, provides share-based compensation to senior employees through a number of schemes; these are all in relation to shares in the Company's ultimate parent. In the U.S., this compensation is in the form of share price linked awards. The awards are made on the basis that the share price linked awards will be released or exercised subject to the rules of the plans and to the extent that the respective performance objectives and conditions are satisfied. The value of the employee services received in exchange for share price linked awards granted under these plans is recognized over the vesting period of the instruments.

#### **7. Commitments and Contingencies**

#### **Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk**

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in the execution and settlement of various securities transactions. The Company introduces all of its customer domestic transactions, which are not reflected in this statement of financial condition, to a clearing broker, who clears such transactions on a "fully disclosed" basis. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the clearing broker, the clearing broker may charge the Company for counterparty nonperformance. The Company has the right to pursue collection or performance from the counterparties who do not perform under their contractual obligations.

As the right to charge the Company has no maximum amount and applies to all trades executed through the clearing broker, the Company believes there is no maximum amount assignable to this right. At December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded no liabilities with regard to the right, as it does not currently expect the final outcome of any such matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

#### **Firm Underwriting Commitments**

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into firm commitments for debt securities underwriting which occurs immediately prior to the offering. No transactions related to such underwriting commitments were open at December 31, 2025.

#### **Litigation**

The Company may be named as defendant in legal actions, such as lawsuits and arbitrations seeking compensatory and other damages. Reserves for legal actions are established as appropriate for potential losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2025, management is aware of no such actions that would be reasonably expected to have a material effect on the Company's statement of financial condition.

{11}------------------------------------------------

#### **8. Related Party Transactions**

The Company enters into certain transactions and service arrangements with its affiliates, some of which are subject to service level agreements. All of these affiliates are beneficially owned by the ultimate parent, Lloyds Banking Group plc.

In July 2023, the Company entered into a \$125,000,000 subordinated term loan with LBCM with a maturity date of June 2, 2028. The interest rate is daily compounded SOFR plus 363 basis points. Accrued interest is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the statement of financial condition. The subordinated term loan is available in computing net capital under the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule. To the extent that such borrowing is required for the Company's continued compliance with minimum net capital requirements, it may not be repaid.

The Company also has access to uncommitted lines of credit from LBCM to support general corporate purposes. LBCM has discretion as to whether or not to make a loan under the line of credit and is required to approve the funded amount and terms prior to funding. Accrued interest is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the statement of financial condition. There was one borrowing of \$484,308, which was included under accrued expenses and other liabilities on the statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2025.

The following table sets forth the Company's related party assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025:

| Assets                                           |                 |
|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------|
| Receivable from affiliates                       | \$<br>2,189,295 |
| Total                                            | 2,189,295       |
| Liabilities                                      |                 |
| Payable to affiliates                            | 3,152,340       |
| State and local income tax payable to affiliates | 787,958         |
| Subordinated borrowing                           | 125,000,000     |
| Total                                            | \$ 128,940,298  |

#### **9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company categorizes the financial instruments carried at fair value based on a three-level hierarchy.

The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

- Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in active markets, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
- Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly.

{12}------------------------------------------------

Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any financial instruments that met the definition of Level 3.

The following table summarizes by level the fair value hierarchy assets for cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair market value as of December 31, 2025.

|                                        | Level 1 |            | Level 2 |                | Level 3 |   | Total |                |
|----------------------------------------|---------|------------|---------|----------------|---------|---|-------|----------------|
| Cash and cash equivalents              |         |            |         |                |         |   |       |                |
| CD                                     | \$      | -          | \$      | 40,002,000     | \$      | - | \$    | 40,002,000     |
| U.S. Government Treasury Bill          |         | 14,928,750 |         | -              |         | - |       | 14,928,750     |
| Securities owned, at fair market value |         |            |         |                |         |   |       |                |
| CDs                                    |         | -          |         | 150,027,000    |         | - |       | 150,027,000    |
| Total                                  | \$      | 14,928,750 |         | \$ 190,029,000 | \$      | - |       | \$ 204,957,750 |

The above assets mature at various dates, ranging from January 2026 to March 2026.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, including assets and liabilities recognized on the statement of financial condition. Management estimates that the fair value of the financial instruments recognized on the statement of financial condition (including cash, receivables, accrued expenses and other liabilities and a subordinated borrowing) approximates the carrying value because of the short maturity of the instruments, or that they bear market interest rates.

#### **10. Segment Reporting**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a registered broker-dealer, which is comprised of services including investment banking and institutional sales. 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 3), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. 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.

#### **11. Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the statement of financial condition date December 31, 2025, through February 26, 2026. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events have occurred which would require disclosure or adjustment to the statement of financial condition.
