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

To the Members Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C.'s Exemption Report, in which (1) Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (2)(i) ("exemption provisions") and (2) Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. stated that Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C.'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 Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. '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)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

To the Members Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C.

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in members' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and supplemental information ( collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2019, 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 Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. 's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C.'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 Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. 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.

#### **GLAUCON CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2019**

#### 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### NATURE OF BUSINESS

Glaucon Capital Partners, L.L.C. (the "Company") is a Delaware limited liability company formed in December 1999 for the purpose of conducting business as a broker/dealer in securities. The Company's primary activities include acting as a private placement agent for entities raising capital in the private debt and/or equity markets, advising entities in establishing or modifying bank credit facilities, and assisting owners of entities in change-of-control or minority interest transactions. The Company enters into engagement letters with its clients, which describe the services to be performed.

The Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule I 5c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that rule. Essentially, the requirements of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) provide that the Company promptly transmits all funds and securities, does not hold funds or securities for customers and effectuates all financial transactions between the broker or dealer and customers through designated bank accounts.

#### BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

#### ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Receivables are recorded only when substantial evidential matter as to the validity of the receivable is obtained. The Company considers its accounts receivable, which are customer obligations incurred during the normal course of business and are typically pursuant to legally binding contracts, to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded.

#### REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).* Revenues from contracts with customers are comprised of investment banking retainer and transaction fees. Such fees are recognized at the point in time when the Company's performance under the terms of the contractual arrangement is completed, which is typically at the close of a transaction. Reimbursed expenses related to these transactions are recorded as revenue and are included in investment banking fees. However, advisory fees for certain contracts are recognized over time as obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer as services are provided. The Company identifies the specific performance obligation associated with the contract with the customer and determines when the specific performance obligation

{14}------------------------------------------------

#### **GLAUCON CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2019**

has been satisfied, based on achievement of milestones and/or a time elapsed measure of progress. In certain transactions, the performance obligation is considered satisfied at a point in time in the future and the Company defers revenue on the balance sheet that will be recognized upon completion of the performance obligation.

#### INCOME TAXES

The Company is organized pursuant to state law as a Limited Liability Company. The owners of the Company are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. Certain states in which the Company does business require Limited Liability Companies to pay franchise and other business taxes. Such taxes are included in these financial statements.

The Company follows F ASB ASC 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company will record a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position would not be sustained if examined by the taxing authority. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

The Company's evaluation on December 31, 2019 revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. The 2016 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS and certain states. The Company does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements.

#### 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 may 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 ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

Concentrations of credit risk consist of cash maintained in banks and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash with a quality financial institution. For short periods of time during the year, the cash balance may exceed the federally insured limit. Management believes that its engagement acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize potential credit risk on accounts receivable.

#### 2. NET CAP IT AL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3-l), which requires the maintenance of a minimum amount of 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

{15}------------------------------------------------

#### **GLAU CON CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2019**

or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 1 O to 1. At December 31, 2019, the Company had net capital of \$28,403 and a net capital requirement of \$5,000 ( or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, whichever is greater).

There was no difference between the Company's net capital at December 31, 2019 as reported herein and the net capital reported by the Company in its FOCUS Report for the period ended December 31, 2019.

#### 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY

The Company is 50% owned by Glaucon Capital, L.L.C., which is controlled by an individual. This individual's spouse owns a non-controlling interest in Glaucon Capital, L.L.C. and receives a fee from the Company from time to time for special services rendered. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the individual holding the noncontrolling interest in Glaucon Capital, L.L.C. and the spouse received \$89,950 and \$60,000, respectively, from the Company for services rendered.

#### 4. CONCENTRATIONS

The Company receives the majority of its revenues by providing specialized investment banking services to a limited number of clients. For 2019, revenues generated from its top two clients represented 82% of the Company's total revenues.

#### 5. POSSESSION OR CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

There were no material inadequacies in the procedures followed in adhering to the exemptive provisions of SEC Rule l 5c3-3(k)(2)(i) which requires that all customer funds and securities be promptly transmitted to the clearing broker who carries the customer accounts. The Company does not have any possession or control of customer funds or securities.

#### 6. SUBORDINATED LIABILITIES

There were no liabilities that were subordinated to the claims of general creditors at December 31, 2019.

#### 7. MEMBERS' EQUITY

The management, control and direction of the Company and its operations, business and affairs are vested exclusively with its members pursuant to its Membership agreement. Additional capital contributions and distributions are made at the discretion of the members. Income and losses are allocated to the members in proportion to their respective sharing ratios. To the extent required by law, Limited Liability Company members shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Company.

{16}------------------------------------------------

#### **GLAUCON CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2019**

#### 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated events or transactions occurring after December 31, 2019, the balance sheet date, through February 24, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that there has been no event or transaction that would impact the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
