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

To the Stockholder's
NexTrend Securities, Inc.

# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of NexTrend Securities, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statement). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

This is the initial year we have served as the Company's auditor.

Notes to Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022**

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

NexTrend Securities, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Texas in July 1997 under the name Five Star Trading, Inc. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

The Company is a subsidiary of NexTrend Technologies, Inc. (the Parent).

# **Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies**

**Use of Estimates** - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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** - The Company states receivables at estimated net collectible value. The receivables are generally fully collected within 30 days. An allowance for accounts receivable is made against uncollectible amounts.

**Revenue** - The Company earns its revenues from fees and services associated with 1031 Delaware Statutory Trust real estate products which are Reg D private placement offerings. The revenues are recorded when the transaction is closed. The Firm also receives compensation and reimbursement from the sponsor related to due diligence. The company is reimbursed for expenses incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements.

**Outside Services** - Outside Services are recorded when transactions are closed.

**Income Taxes** - The Company elected to be taxed as a subsidiary of a Controlled Group with its parent company reporting for Federal income tax purposes. As a member of a Controlled Group, the Company’s asset, liability, income, and expense items are treated as though they were owned, held or incurred by the parent corporation. As per the Consent Plan and Apportionment Schedule for a Controlled Group (IRS - Schedule O), all taxes are paid by the parent company, NexTrend Technologies, Inc.

The accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provides accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examinations by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2019 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

The Company is treated as a member of a controlled group for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, federal income taxes are not payable by or provided by the Company.

# **Note 3 - Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivables are stated net of uncollectible amounting to $1,232 at December 31, 2022. No reserve for uncollectible accounts was considered necessary at December 31, 2022.

# **Note 4 - Related Party**

The Company uses office space provided by the parent company. Since there is limited activity, the parent company charges $10,000 per year for the use of office space.

# **Note 5 - Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC 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. Rule 15c3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $86,713 which was $81,713 more than its required net capital of $5,000. The Company’s net capital ratio was 0.3 to 1.

# **Note 6 - Contingencies**

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to pending and threatened legal actions. After reviewing the pending and threatened litigation with counsel, management believes that the outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's statement of financial condition and no reasonable estimate can be made at this time.
