Organization and Nature of Business** IOA Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) effective August 6, 2020. The Company is located in the state of Florida and was organized as a Florida limited liability company on April 12, 2019. As a limited liability company, the member's liability is limited to its equity contribution. The Company engages in the referral of mutual fund and variable life insurance or annuities to unaffiliated broker-dealers, and sharing in commissions for such referrals. ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** #### Basis of presentation The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes, which is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which is required by the SEC and FINRA. The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer. #### Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each client. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for credit losses. The review is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. There was no accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2025. #### Revenue from contracts with customers The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer. The Company earns referral fees pursuant to a single contractual arrangement with a third-party retail broker-dealer. Since referral fees are dependent on the amount and nature of transactions at future points in time, which is highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not recognize referral fee revenue until the Company is notified of the completion of commission generating transaction by the entity that received the referral. The commissions are based on a percentage of trails from mutual funds, insurance products or annuities received by the unaffiliated broker-dealer. {6}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** # **2. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** ## Leases The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. #### Income taxes The Company is a single member limited liability company and as such, is not required to file its own tax return. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements as they are the responsibility of the individual member. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. The member files income tax returns in the U.S. in both federal jurisdiction and state jurisdictions. {7}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** ## **2. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### 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 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. The Company is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as required. #### Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. #### **3. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC 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. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$542,579 which was \$537,579 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.02 to 1. #### **4. Commitments** #### Lease The Company had an obligation under an operating lease for office space with an initial non-cancelable term in excess of one year, that commenced September 2022 and was renewed through September 30, 2025. The lessor is a related party under common control. Effective October 1, 2025, the lease is on a month-to-month basis. Lease cost was \$4,499 for the year-ended December 31, 2025 and is shown as Occupancy on the accompanying Statement of Operations. #### **5. Concentration** 100% of the Company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was earned from one customer. #### **6. Related Party Transactions** The Company pays Insurance Office of America, Inc. ("IOA, Inc."), pursuant to an expense sharing agreement, for salaries and benefits, technology support, telephone and other office expenses. The amount paid to IOA, Inc. under the agreement was \$60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025. {8}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** ## **6. Related Party Transactions (continued)** During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company also paid \$15,902 to IOA, Inc. in its capacity as the Company's insurance broker, for insurance policies. The lease agreement described in Note 4 is with a related party. Financial position and results of operations could differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements had these transactions not been with related parties. # **7. Segment Reporting** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of referrals of mutual fund and variable life insurance or annuities to unaffiliated broker-dealers, and sharing in commissions for such referrals. The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, and 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, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay distributions to its member. 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. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers. #### **8. Subsequent Events** Management evaluated subsequent events through March 27, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued. # **9. Going Concern** The Company lost its referral agreement during 2025, which materially reduced its revenue-generating activities. As of the date these financial statements were available to be issued, the Company was in negotiations to renew the agreement; however, no renewed agreement had been executed. Management has evaluated the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and considered its available cash resources, which are expected to fund operations for approximately two years based on current operating assumptions. {9}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2025** #### **9. Going Concern (continued)** Based on this evaluation, management believes the Company's current cash position and expected operating expenditures provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, management has concluded that the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. If a renewed agreement is not obtained, the Company may be required to reduce operations, seek additional financing, or pursue other strategic alternatives.
