In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, 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 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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. #### **Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company is dependent on the solvency of Luma Financial Technologies, LLC (the Member) and has stated that the impending maturity of the Member's convertible notes may result in the insolvency of the Member. Given that the Company is dependent upon the Member to operate its business, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. **THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOOD** ASSURANCE TAX I CONSULTING 1 P')MUSLLP tf-.t.,1J\_ l'leinbC' hrm ,IRSM!nlPir1,1t1ont· ,1 l•,b1l1wtw,rk it'inrlPpc-ncil''lt.1 LJhlll11 {6}------------------------------------------------ #### **Supplemental Information** The supplementary information contained in Schedules I and II (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 supplementary information contained in Schedules I and II is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. **',!-s~** *p.s* **J..J..P** We have served as the Company's auditor since 2018.

503,084 | {11}------------------------------------------------ # **NOTE A** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** # *Nature of Company and Operations* LFT Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a broker/dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company was formed on June 20, 2017 as Advanced Trading & Linked Asset Strategies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; as such, its member possesses limited liability for obligations of the Company. On December 5, 2018, the Company changed its name to LFT Securities, LLC. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Luma Financial Technologies, LLC (the "Member"). The Company will continue to exist perpetually unless terminated earlier in accordance with the operating agreement. The Company operates a multipurpose technology platform designed for the pricing, trading, distributing, educating and lifecycle management of structured notes, certificates of deposit, registered funds and annuities. The Company offers products from the North American, Latin American, and European marketplaces. As a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the Company is exempt from the requirements of Rule l 5c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") because it relies on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. ## *Basis of Presentation* The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") as contained in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("F ASB"). The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. A summary of significant accounting policies follow and are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader. ### *Dependency on the Member* The Company is dependent upon the Member for platform access and the Company does not have a readily available alternative platform option in the case the Member becomes insolvent. The Member's capital funding needs and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are inextricably linked. The Member is in process of building its customer base and expansion of its product offerings and is dependent on funding through debt and equity issuances to continue on its current growth plan during this stage of its life cycle. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31 , 2024, the Member has outstanding debt in the form of convertible notes, which are set to mature on May 26, 2025. Absent a further extension of the maturity of the convertible notes for the Member, the Member does not expect to have the resources available should the Member be required to repay the convertible notes within twelve months following the issuance of the Company's financial statements. As the Company is dependent on the Member to operate its business, the potential solvency issue faced by the Member in connection with the Member's convertible notes raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Member is in the process of obtaining additional equity financing as of the date of these financial statements. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTE A** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ### *Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ## *Accounts Receivable I Receivable from Affiliate* Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses based on management's periodic review of accounts. Accounts are considered delinquent when payments have not been received within the agreed upon terms, and are written off when management determines that collection is not probable. As of December 31 , 2024, management had determined that no allowance for credit losses is required. Management had determined no allowance for credit losses is required due to low historical write offs, no events that would imply future conditions of probable collection on accounts to be materially different than historical experience, and a customer base of well capitalized, significantly sized and regulated financial institutions. ## *Concentrations of Credit Risk* The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such cash may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company also considers concentration ofrisk for customers that make up greater than or equal to I 0% of total revenue. One customer accounted for 10% of revenue for the year ended December 31 , 2024, and 12% of the accounts receivable balance at December 3 I, 2024. ## *Income Taxes* The Company, with the consent of its Member, has elected to be formed as a limited liability company. The operating agreement of the Company, construed under Delaware laws, states that the Company shall be disregarded as an entity from its Member for federal and state income tax purposes. In lieu of paying taxes at the Company level, the Member of a limited liability company is taxed on the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company follows the provisions of *Accounting f or Uncertainty in Income Taxes* as required by the ASC standards. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Corn pany does not have any uncertain tax positions. As of Decern ber 3 1, 2024, the Company is subject to examination for tax years 2021 , 2022, and 2023. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTE A** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ### *Recent Accounting Pronouncements* In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about certain types of expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our disclosures. ## **NOTE B - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 15c3- l ("Rule 15c3-1 " ), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum "net capital" equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6-2/3 percent of "aggregate indebtedness", as these terms are defined in Rule I 5c3- I. Net capital changes from day to day and the Company had net capital and net capital requirements of \$1 ,610,173 and \$43,697, respectively, at December 31 , 2024. The Company must also maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of not more than 12 to I. The Company's ratio of aggregated indebtedness to net capital was 0.3963 to I at December 31 , 2024. # **NOTE C** - **REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS** The Company recognizes the provisions ofFASB ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606"). Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i .e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any. ## *Platform Revenue* The Company's performance obligation is to arrange for the sale of financial products by issuers through the user of the Company's electronic marketplace (the "Platform"). The Platform consists of an online marketplace for issuers to offer bespoke financial products and for buyers ("users" ) to purchase those financial products. Accordingly, the entity observes that the financial products to be provided to users that utilize the Platform are provided by the issuers, and no other goods or services are provided to the users by the Company. The Company concludes that it does not control the financ ial products before they are transferred to users as (a) the issuer is responsible for delivery of the financial products to users, and the Company does not execute or clear any transactions between issuers and users, (b) the Company does not take inventory risk at any time before or after the financial products are transferred to the customer, nor does it commit to rectify fails to receive or deliver financial products, and (c) the Company does not have discretion over the structure of the financial products, which is the responsibility of the issuer as agreed upon by the user. Therefore, there is no direct performance obligation associated with the sale of financial products, and other than the impact to pricing for the services provided, the nature of the financial product, including the term of that product, is not considered for revenue recognition. {14}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTE C** - **REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED)** Pricing for the services provided is the same for all issuers posting products on the Platfonn and is summarized below: - I. Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit -Ten (I 0) basis points (0. 10%) of the aggregate principal amount purchased by users from the issuer posting product on the Platform; - 2. Market-Linked Notes Ten ( 10) basis points (0.10%) of the aggregate principal amount purchased by users from the issuer posting product on the Platform. Additionally, in the event that a user purchases in any calendar month an aggregate principal amount of Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit and Market-Linked Notes having a total aggregate principal amount in excess of \$400,000,000 per month for the average of the three previous months, issuers paying fees to the Company shall pay to the Company the following: - I. Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit Five (5) basis points (0.05%) of the aggregate principal amount purchased by users from the issuer posting product on the Platfonn; - 2. Market-Linked Notes Five (5) basis points (0.05%) of the aggregate principal amount purchased by users from the issuer posting product on the Platfonn. This revenue from larger users, purchasing in excess of \$400,000,000 per month, falls under the variable consideration guidance in ASC 606. The Company uses the expected value method to detennine the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company identifies the range of possible consideration amounts to be 90 days after the end of a month, as a contract can be tenninated with 90 days' notice. The Company then detennines a probability that the user of the Platform would reach \$400,000,000 in volume for each of the next three months. Based on those probabilities, the Company takes a weighting of the probability and applies it to the fee charged for the month for revenue recognition purposes. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. and UBS Financial Services Inc . met this threshold in 2024, and management has estimated one hundred percent probability that Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. and UBS Financial Services Inc. will remain above this threshold within 90 days after yearend. Because the Company applies the expected value method to detennine the amount of variable consideration, and there also exists variability in the number of transactions that will generate revenue each month, the Company applies the constraint focused on whether it is probable that the inclusion of the estimated variable consideration in the transaction price will not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for the contract when the uncertainty of a user's aggregate principal amount purchase giving rise to the variability is resolved. Only estimated variable consideration for which it is probable that its inclusion in the transaction price will not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized should be included in the transaction price. If it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur with respect to just a portion of the estimated variable consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled, that portion would be included in the transaction price. {15}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTE C** - **REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (CONTINUED)** The Company observes that the promised consideration is dependent on the number and volume of transactions occurring each month, and is highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence. The Company also observes that although it has experience with similar contracts, that experience is of little predictive value in determining how many, and at what quantity, transactions will aggregate throughout the month. Therefore, the Company cannot conclude that it is probable a significant reversal in the cumulative amount ofrevenue recognized would not occur if any estimates of fee discounts were included in the transaction price until the number of transactions is noted at the end of each month. Revenue is recognized based on the trade date of a unique product identification number ("CUSIP") for which aggregate principal amounts are billed at the transaction price. Because the financial products offered through the Company's Platform have definitive periods of offering, and are typically offered only in one calendar month, revenue on the principal amounts transacted in these CUSlPs can be recognized in the month that the products traded. The customer outlined in the contract is simultaneously receiving and consuming benefits as the Company performs its obligation. In a specific month, the customer will be receiving the benefits of utilizing the Platform and promises from the Company, while also consuming the benefits by receiving deposits from the products traded in the month it consumed the benefits. The products posted on the Platform, and the information posted by the issuers, is uploaded as it becomes available for new CUS!Ps. The agreements with both issuers and users indicate that the transaction price is billed on a transactional basis for the aggregate principal amounts, and is not billed over the lifetime term of the product. While the performance obligation of arranging for the issuance of financial products by customers is satisfied throughout the month, the consideration is considered constrained as discussed above. The performance obligation and benefit to the customer is simultaneously received and consumed in the month that each CUSIP trades, therefore revenue can be recognized when the constraint is lifted at the end of each month, based on the fact that the consideration becomes probable when the number of transactions is known and the Company can determine the revenue it is entitled to for that month. The amount receivable for platform fees as of a given statement of financial condition date is represented by accounts receivable and receivable from affiliates. As of December 31, 2024, the balances of accounts receivable and receivable from affiliates are presented on the statement of financial condition. As of January 1, 2024, balances of accounts receivable and recievable from affiliates were \$3,337,627 and \$1 ,027,751 , respectively. The amounts of contract assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024 and January I, 2024 were zero. {16}------------------------------------------------ #### **NOTED-RELATED PARTIES** The Company has an expense sharing agreement with the Member, originally dated November 14, 2018, with various amendments to date, for the reimbursement of expenses which should be assumed by the Company.

The Company's maximum exposure under these agreements in unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications. Management of the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. ## **NOTE F - SEGMENT REPORTING** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of one class of service, including arranging for the sale of financial products by issuers through the user of the Company's Platform. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer 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 Schedule!), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaing capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay distributions. 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. Total assets per the statement of financial condition represents the total assets of the Company's single reportable segment. In addition, segment revenue, significant expenses, including those expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM, and segment net income are included in the Company's statement of operations. ## **NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** In conformity with the ASC standards, the Company has evaluated for disclosure all subsequent events and transactions through the date the financial statements were issued for the year ended December 31 , 2024.
