Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles 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. ## Auditor's Report on Supplementary Information The accompanying supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of McKenzie Securities, LLC 's financial statements.

Organization and Nature of Business** McKenzie Securities, LLC (the Company) was organized as a Puerto Rico Limited Liability Company in October 2020 and became a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and member with the Financial Industry Authority (FINRA) effective June 2021. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of McKenzie Holdings, LLC (Parent). The Company's business is to act as an investment banker in private placement transactions and mergers and acquisitions. The Company is also able to share in commissions for transactions referred to other broker-dealers. The Company acts an introducing broker-dealer. The Company is exempt from the provisions ofRule 15c3- 3 as the Company does not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, and did not carry accounts of or for customers. ## **2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies** #### **Basis of Presentation** The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. ## **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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### **Cash and Cash Equivalents** The Company maintains its cash in a bank deposit account(s) which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. The Company monitors the bank account(s) and does not expect to incur any losses from such account(s). The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days that are not held-for-sale in the ordinary course of business. The recorded value of such instruments approximates their fair value. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no cash equivalents. #### **Current Expected Credit Losses** In March 2022, the FASB issues ASU 2022-02, ASC Subtopic 326 "Credit Losses": Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Since the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-03, Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Board has provided resources to monitor and assist stakeholders with the implementation of Topic 326. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2023, and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2024, The Company had \$83,616 in net receivables from executed contracts, which the Company considers to be fully collectable. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## **2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies (** continued) #### **Related party transactions** The Company follows ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosure", for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. ## **Revenue** The Company recognizes Revenue from Contracts with Customers in accordance with ("ASC Topic 606"). This revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the guidance requires the Company to follow a five-step model to a) identify the contract with the customer, b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, c) determine the transaction price, d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and e) recognize revenue when ( or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues include fees arising from private placement and advisory fees. Private securities placement in which the Company acts as an agent are recorded pursuant to the terms of the Company's agreements with respective offering parties. Private placement fees are recorded based upon the capital commitments obtained as of the closing for the respective placement when all performance obligations to the client have been completed. Advisory fees are based on the Company providing monthly placement and advisory services, which are recorded at the end of each month in which service obligations have been performed. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## **2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies (** continued) #### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments** F ASB ASC 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transactions to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2- inputs in the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the balance sheet, which approximates fair value due to their short term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accounts payable-related party. #### **Income Taxes** The Company, with the consent of its Member has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as a partnership under the provision of the internal revenue code which provides that the members are taxes on the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements. #### **New Accounting Pronouncements** On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. ASU 2023- 09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.* applies to all entities subject to income taxes. For public business entities (PB Es), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance. {12}------------------------------------------------ # **2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies (** continued) # **New Accounting Pronouncements (** continued) In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), intended to improve reportable segments disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 includes a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, the title and position of the CODM, an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and all segments' profit or loss and assets disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for all public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for the interim period beginning on January 1, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statement. # **3. Going Concern** These audited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its members and related party, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a net working capital of \$135,903 and has an member's equity of \$135,903. Furthermore, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of \$40,629 and used \$27,535 of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These audited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. ## **4. Segment Information** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a limited purpose broker-dealer to provide due diligence and private placement services. The Company has identified the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the CODM, who uses revenues and expenses to evaluate the business, predominantly in the cash forecasting process, to make resource allocation decisions at the entity level. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 6), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits, infuse capital 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. As a result, no disaggregated segment information is presented. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## **5. Related Parties** The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of McKenzie Holdings, LLC. McKenzie and Associates, LLC (Affiliate), is also wholly owned by McKenzie Holdings, LLC. In connection with this relationship, the Company and its Affiliate have executed an expense sharing agreement whereby the Company receives a monthly allocation of expenses incurred by the Affiliate on its behalf. During 2024, the Company recorded expenses under this agreement totaling \$22,708. Included in the total is a provision for rent. The Company recorded rent totaling \$12,000 related to the shared expense with the Affiliate. Related party payables as of December 31, 2024 were \$22,666. # **6. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-l) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires maintenance of minimum net capital. Under the Rule, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. The ratio of aggregated indebtedness to net capital cannot exceed 1500% or 15: 1. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$42,188, which is \$37,188 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 101.97%. # **Reserve Requirements** The Company does not claim an exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Company 1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, 2) did not carry accounts of customers or for customers, and 3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the year ended December 31, 2024, without exception. ## **Possession and Control Requirements** The Company does not claim an exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34- 70073, as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Company 1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, 2) did not carry accounts of customers or for customers, and 3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the year ended December 31, 2024, without exception. ## **7. Operating Lease Obligations** The Company is required to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve (12) months. All such leases are to be classified as either finance or operating. The Company has no lease obligations that required recording or disclosures in the December 31, 2024, financial statements. The rent agreement is on a month-to-month basis. ## **8. Accounts Receivable** As of December 31, 2024, the Company had accounts receivable of \$83,616, due from customers. The Company has no allowance for bad debt as they believe the amounts are collectable. {14}------------------------------------------------ #### **9.
