### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Members of Madison Global Partners LLC

### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Madison Global Partners LLC as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, changes in liabilities subordinated to the claims of general creditors, and cash flows for the year 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 Madison Global Partners LLC as of December 31, 2023, 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 Madison Global Partners LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Madison Global Partners LLC'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 Madison Global Partners LLC 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 supplemental information which includes Schedule I within the financial statements has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Madison Global Partners LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Madison Global Partners LLC'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 supplemental information within the financial statements is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as Madison Global Partners LLC's auditor since 2022.

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2023**

### **Note 1 - Nature of Business**

Madison Global Partners LLC (the "Company")is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company engages in retail brokerage including buying and selling of stocks, debt securities, U.S. government securities, mutual funds and variable life insurance or annuities. The Company also acts as a placement agent for private placements of securities.

The Company is a limited liability company; therefore, the members' liability is limited to their investment.

#### **Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

#### **Property and Equipment:**

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

#### **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, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.

#### **Income taxes:**

The Company is a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Therefore, the income or losses of the Company flow through to its members and no income taxes are recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Pursuant to the provisions of F ASB Accounting Standards Codification 7 40-1 0(ASC 7 40-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, 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, including its status as a pass-through entity, and the decision not to file a tax return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that no provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

### **Cash:**

The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.

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

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2023**

### **Note 2 - Revenue Recognition**

Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission and concession income, fees from selling group participation, fees for providing public articles and third party research, and private placement services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date the Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade 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 of the securities have been transferred to/from the customer.

Mutual funds or pooled investment vehicles (collectively, "funds") have entered into agreements with the Company to distribute/sell its shares to investors. Marketing or distribution fees are paid over time ( 12B-l fees) on the basis of a contractual rate applied to the monthly or quarterly market value of the fund. Revenue is recognized in accordance with these agreements.

Revenues are earned from fees arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as a selling group member.

The Company receives fees from clients from the Company forwarding nonproprietary data from public articles and from research the Firm receives from Third parties.

The Company recognizes fees from private placements upon the sale of each interest in an offering as this satisfies the only performance obligation identified by the Company

#### **Accounts Receivable:**

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing, uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each customer. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for credit losses is considered necessary.

#### **Subsequent events:**

The Company received permission to expand its business lines in January 2024 to include Selling group participant in firm commitment offerings, Mergers and Acquisitions. The Company will be required to maintain a minimum net capital of \$50,000, pursuant to SEA Rule 15c3-1(a)(2)(iv).

#### **Note 3 - Net capital requirement**

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3- 1 ("the Rule"). The Rule requires the Company maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3 % of aggregate indebtedness as well as a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$174,980 which was above its required minimum net capital of\$50,555 by \$124,425. The Company had a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 4.33 to 1.00 at December 31, 2023.

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

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2023**

#### **Note 4 - Sub-Clearing Agreement**

The Company has a sub-clearing agreement with a broker-dealer to execute and clear, on a fully disclosed basis, customer accounts of the Company. In accordance with this agreement, the Company is required to maintain a deposit in cash or securities. Amounts receivable from its sub-clearing broker at December 31, 2023 consist of commissions receivable. The receivable is considered fully collectible at December 31, 2023 and no allowance is required.

#### **Note 5 - Receivable from Clearing Broker**

The Company has an agreement with a clearing broker to execute and clear, on a fully-disclosed basis, customer accounts of the Company. Amounts receivable from its clearing broker at December 31, 2023 consist of funds held in an account. The receivable is considered to be fully collectible at December 31, 2023 and no allowance is required.

#### **Note 6 - Contingencies**

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at December 31, 2023, as defendant.

#### **Note 7 - Related Party Transactions**

The Company is affiliated with a sister entity that is a Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA"). During 2023, the Company assessed administrative fees of \$100,000 pursuant to an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with the sister RIA for personnel, technology and other operating costs shared between the two entities. In June 2023 the Company started accounting for the ESA as a reduction of operating expenses. In addition, the Company collects advisory fees generated by the sister RIA through the Company's sub-clearing agreement. The balance at December 31, 2023 of \$23,112 due to related party arises from advisory fees collected by the Company not yet remitted to the RIA.

The Company leases office space from the sister RIA pursuant to a month-to-month sublease agreement. Rent expense under this agreement was \$17,014 in 2023.

The Company additionally leases office premises under an informal month-to-month arrangement from an entity whose principals own a portion of one of the Company's members. Rent expense under the informal arrangement was \$15,130 in 2023.

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**December 31, 2023**

### **Note 7- Related Party Transactions (continued)**

Separately, the Company at times pays for certain other operating expenses of the sister RIA for which the Company subsequently seeks reimbursement. There are no amounts due to the Company at December 31, 2023 arising from the Company's payment of such expenses.

Financial position and results of operations could differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these related party transactions did not exist.

### **Note 8- Leases**

See Note 7 for a description of the Company's leases with related entities.

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize right of use (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.

### **Note 9- Retirement Plan**

The Company offers a 401(k) profit sharing plan to all employees. The Company did not make a contribution to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2023.

### **Note 10 Off Balance Sheet Risk**

In the normal course of business, the Company's customers execute securities transactions through the Company. These activities may expose the Company to off balance sheet risk in the event the customer or the other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and the Company has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss.

### **Note 11 Concentrations**

During 2023, one customer accounted for approximately 91.41 % of all private placement revenue. Approximately 100% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 is due from 2 customers.

### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Members of Madison Global Partners LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report of Brokers and Dealers ("Exemption Report") pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) Madison Global Partners LLC claimed an exemption from § 240.15c3-3 under the provisions of § 240.15c3-3 (k)(2)(ii) and (2) Madison Global Partners LLC stated that Madison Global Partners LLC met the identified exemption provisions without exception throughout the most recent fiscal year.

Madison Global Partners LLC also filed its Exemption Report as a Non-Covered Firm relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because Madison Global Partners LLC limits its business activities exclusively to private placement of securities and selling group participation, and Madison Global Partners LLC (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to Madison Global Partners LLC); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year.

Madison Global Partners LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about Madison Global Partners LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) and Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 related to the Non-Covered Firm Provision.
