In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31 , 2021 , 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 finn 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 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, whetiher 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 to 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 information contained in Schedules I, II and Ill has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit ofthe Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information in Schedules I, II and III 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 accompanying schedules. In forming our opinion on the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented {5}------------------------------------------------ in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240. I 7a-5. In our opinion, the aforementioned supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

40,1 13 | {10}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** #### **Organization and Nature of Operations** Horang Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a securities brolker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). As a Limited Liability Company, the Member's liability is limited to its investment. The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 1, 1971 . Activities of the Company include merger and acquisition activities and a historic business of collecting trail commissions from prior sales of mutual funds and of variable annuity contracts. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Horang Capital, LLC (the "Member"). The Company principally works with companies that have a relationship with its Member that are involved in M&A transactions, and are raising additional equity and debt capital. #### **Accounting Policies** The Company follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB), to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. #### **Revenue Recognition** Revenue from contracts with customers includes placement and advisory se1rvices as well as mutual fund fees. 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 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. Mutual funds or pooled investment vehicles (collectively, "funds") have entered into agreements with the Company to distribute/sell its shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the funds, upfront, over time, or as a combination thereof. The Company believes its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable a.mounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually quarterly or monthly. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### Note A- Organization and Summary of Signiificant Accounting Policies (continued) #### Revenue Recognition (continued) The Company provides placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and mergers and acquisitions transactions. Revenue from advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is terminated. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Success fees are recognized in accordance with terms agreed upon with each customer and are generally based on (1) a percentage of capital raised or (2) profit allocated and management fees earned by a customer on funds received from investors introduced by the Company. These fees are recognized upon the consummation of a transaction 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 treads. Based on management's review, no allowance for credit losses is considered to be necessary. #### Income Taxes The Company is a single member limited liability company and is considered a disregarded entity for federal income tax reporting purposes and as such, does not file a separate income tax return. The income or losses of the Company flow through to and are taxable to the Member. Therefore, no income taxes are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. fhe Company has adopted the provisions of f'ASB Accounting Standards Codification 740- 10 (ASC 740-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under 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, 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. {12}------------------------------------------------ ### Note A- Organization and Summary of Signiificant 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, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements. #### Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that required disclosure and I or adjustments. #### Note B - Net Capital The Company, as a registered broker dealer, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 115c3-1 ), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, 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, both as defined, that shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31 , 2021 , the Company had net capital of \$35, 7 43 which was, \$30, 7 43 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$5,000 and the percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 12.2%. #### Note C - Related Party Transactions The Company has a services agreement in place with its Member for office space, personnel, and other administrative services provided to the Company. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays the Member its allocated share for the services provided. Expenses allocated to the Company under the agreement amounted to approximately \$16,200 for the year ended December 31 , 2021. The balance due to Member on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from this agreement. Amounts due to Member are not interest bearing and have no specified due date. Financial position and results of operations might differ from the amounts in accompanying financial statements if this agreement did not exist. {13}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note D - Contingencies** The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at December 31, 2021. #### **Note E - Concentration** Approximately 93% of investment banking revenues earned in 2021 were from two customers and approximately 81 % of mutual fund fees were earned from one fund company. Approximately 85% of accounts receivable at December 31 , 2021 are due from one fund company. #### **Note F - Economic Risks** In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic event has resulted in significant business disruption and uncertainty in both global and U.S. markets. While the Company believes that it is in an appropriate position to sustain the potential short-term effects of these world-wide events, the direct long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time. {14}------------------------------------------------ #### **Schedule** I - **Computation Of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 Of The Securities And Exchange Commission As Of December 31, .2021** | Total Member's Equity | \$

Horang Securities, 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 Horang Securities, 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 En Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release. March 22, 2022 Atlanta, GA > ~U'f-.Jfc. Rubio CPA, PC {17}------------------------------------------------ ### **Exemption Report** Horang Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following: (1) The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3, and (2) The Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to (1) effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; (2) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients, referring securities transactions to other broker-dealers, or providing technology or platform services; (3) participating in distributions of securities (other than firm commitment underwritings) in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4; and the Company (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 the Company); (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 without exception.
