# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholder of Kiley Partners, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Kiley Partners, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, 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 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 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 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. 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, wlhether due to error or fraud, and perfonning 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 informatiom contained in Schedules I, II and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the 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 t he 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

{4}------------------------------------------------

in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240. I 7a-5. Tn 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 2002.

# **KILEY PARTNERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021**

#### **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Organization and Description of Business: The Company is a registered broker dealer that began business in 1994. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the securities commissions of appropriate states.

The Company's business is retail brokerage of marketable securities for customers located throughout the United States.

Cash: The Company maintains its demand deposit in a high credit quality financial institution. Balances at times may exceed federally insured limits.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods 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.

Income Taxes: The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation whereby the income or losses of the Company flow through to its stockholder and no income taxes are recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, 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 return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that 1110 provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions 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.

Revenue Recognition: 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 that 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.

Proprietary transactions and related revenues and expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis (as if they had settled). Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded in principal transactions in the accompanying statement of operations.

Date of Management's Review: Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

{10}------------------------------------------------

# **KILEY PARTNERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021**

#### **NOTE B - NET CAPITAL**

The Company, as a registered broker dealer, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 1 Sc3-1 ), 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.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$933,729 which was \$833,729 in excess of its required net capital of \$100,000, and its ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .02 to 1.0.

#### **NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company operates from office premises owned by the Stockholder at no cost to the Company pursuant to a lease and administrative services agreement.

Financial position and results of opeirations might differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if this agreement did not exist.

#### **NOTE D - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RISK**

As a securities broker, the Company is engaged in buying and selling securities for a diverse group of individuals and other entities. The Company's transactions are collateralized and are executed with and on behalf of its customers, including other brokers and dealers and other financial institutions.

The Company introduces all customer transactions in securities traded on U.S. securities markets to another firm on a fully disclosed basis. The agreement between the Company and its clearing broker provides that the Company is obligated to assume any exposure related to non-performance by customers or counter parties. The Company monitors clearance and settlement of all customer transactions on a daily basis.

The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with the non-performance of customers and counter parties in fulfilling theiir contractual obligations pursuant to these securities transactions can be directly impacted by volatile trading markets which may impair the customer's or counter party's ability to satisfy their obligations to the Company. In the event of non-performance, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at unfavorable market prices resulting in a loss to the Company. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by customers and counter parties in the above situations.

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet-risk in the event the customer or 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 E - RECEIVABLE FROM AND DEPOSIT WITH CLEARING BROKER**

The Company clears certain of its proprietary and customer transactions through another broker-dealer ("clearing broker") on a fully disclosed basis. In accordance with this agreement, the Company is required to maintain a deposit in cash or securities. The deposit is refundable if, and when, the Company ceases doing business with the clearing broker.

Amounts receivable from its clearing broker at December 31, 2021 consist of commissions receivable and funds on deposit in a trading account.

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

# **KILEY PARTNERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021**

#### **NOTE F - 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 G - CONCENTRATION**

During 2021 , approximately 99% of commissions revenue was earned from one customer and its affiliates.

#### **Note H-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 believe that it is in an appropriate position to sustain the potential shortterm effects of these world-wide events, the direct and long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time.

### **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

We have reviewed management's statements included in the accompanying Broker Dealers Annual Exemption Report in which (I) Kiley Partners, Inc. identified the fol lowing provisions of 17 C.F.R. § l 5c3-3(k) under which Kiley Partners, Inc. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240. I ScJ-3: (k)(2)(ii) (the "exemption provisions"); and, (2) Kiley Partners, Inc . stated that Kiley Partners, Inc. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

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 Kiley Partners, Inc.'s compliance with the exemption provisions.

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), of Rule l Sc3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

# **SIPC-7 Instructions**

This fo rm is to be fi led by all members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation whose fiscal years end in 2011 and annually thereafter. The form together with the payment is due no later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year, or after membership termination. Amounts reported herein must be readily reconcilable with the member's records and the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 1 ?a-5 report filed. Questions pertaining to this form should be directed to SIPC via e-mail at form@sipc.org or by telephonin g 202-371-8300.

A. For the purposes of this form, the term "SIPC Net Operating Revenues" shal l mean gross revenues from the securities business as defined in or pursuant to the applicable sections of the Securiti es Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("Act") and Arti cle 6 of SIPC's by laws (see page 4), less item 2c(9) on page 2\_

B. Gross revenues of subsidiaries, except fo reign subsidiaries, are required to be included in SIPC Net Operating Revenues on a consolidated basis except fo r a subsidiary fi ling separately as explained hereinafter.

If a subsidiary was required to fi le a Rule 17a-5 annual audited statement of income separately and is also a SI PC member, then such subsidiary must itself fi le SI PC-7, pay the assessment, and should not be consolidated in your SIPC-7.

SIPC Net Operating Revenues of a predecessor member which are not included in item 2a, were not reported separately and the SIPC assessments we re not paid thereon by such predecessor, shall be included in item 2b(1).

C. Your General Assessment should be computed as fol lows:

- (1) line 2a For the appl icable period enter total revenue based upon amounts reported in yo ur Rule l?a-5 Annual Audited Statement of Income prepared in conformity with general ly accepted accounting principles applicable to securities brokers and dealers. or if exempted from that rule, use X-l?A-5 (FOCUS Report) Lin e 12, Code 4030.
- (2) Ad/ustments The purpose of the adjustments on page 2 is to determine SIPC Net Operating Revenues.
	- (a) Addjfioas Lines 2b(1) through 2b(7) assure th at assessable income and gain items of SIPC Net Operating Revenues are totaled, unreduced by any losses (e.g., if a net loss was incurred for the period from al I transactions in trading account secu rities, that net loss does not reduce other assessable revenues). Thus, line 2b(4) would include all short divide111d and interest payments including those incurred in reverse conversion accounts, rebates on stock loan positions and repo interest which have been netted in determining line 2(a).
	- (b) Deductions Line 2c(1) through line 2c(9) are either provided for in the statue, as in deducti on 2c(1), or are allowed to arri ve at an assessment base consisting of net operating revenues from the securities business. For example, line 2c(9) allows for a deducti on of either the total of interest an d dividend expense (not to exceed interest and dividend income), as reported on FOCUS line 221PART llA line 13 (Co de 4075), plus line 2b(4) or 40% of interest earned on customers' securities accounts (40% of FOCUS Line 5 Code 3960). Be certain to complete both line (i) and (i i), entering the greater of the two in the fa r right co lumn\_ Dividends paid to shareholders are not considered "Expense" and thus are not to be included in the deduction. Likewise, interest and divid en ds paid to partners pursuant to the partnership agreements would also not be deducted.

If the amount reported on line 2c (8) aggregates to \$100,000 or greater, supporting documentation must accompany the form that identifies these deductions. Examples of support information include; contractual agreements, prospectuses, and limited partnership documentation.

- (i) Determine your SIPC Net Operating Revenues, item 2d, by adding to item 2a, the total of item 2b, and deducting the total of item 2c.
- (ii) Multiply SIPC Net Operating Revenues by the applicable rate. Enter th e resulti ng amount in item 2e and om line 2A of page 1.
- (iii) Enter on line 28 the assessment due as reflected on the SIPC-6 previously fi led.
- (iv) Subtract I ine 28 an d 2C from line 2A and en ter the difference on line 20. Th is is the balance due fo r the period.
- (v) Enter interest co mputed on late payment (if applicable) on line 2E.
- (vi) Enter the total due on line 2F and the payment of the amount due on line 2G.
- (vii) Enter overpayment carried forward (if any) on lin e 2H.

D. Any SIPC member which is also a bank (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) may exclude from SIPC Net Operating Revenues dividends and interest received on securities in its investment accounts to the extent that it can demonstrate to SIPC's sati sfaction that such securities are held, an d such dividen ds and interest are received, solely in connection with its operations as a bank and not in connection wi th its operations as a broker, dealer or member of a national securities exchange. Any member who excludes from SIPC Net Operating Revenues any dividends or interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall file with this form a supplementary statement setti ng forth the amount so excluded and proof of its en titlement to such exclusion.

E. Interest on Assessments If al l or any part of assessment payable under Secti on 4 of the Ac t has not been postmarked within 15 days after the due date tlhereof, the member shal l pay, in addition to the amount of the assessment, interest at the rate of 20% per annum on the unpaid porti on of the assessment fo r each day it has been overdue.
