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

To the Shareholder and Board of Directors of Perryman Securities, Inc.

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Perryman Securities, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020, 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 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 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 supplementary information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 and Schedule II, Computation of Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption), all under the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission have 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 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

{5}------------------------------------------------

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 supplementary information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 and Schedule II, Computation of Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption), all under the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

This is our initial year as the auditor for the Company.

#### PERRYMAN SECURITIES. INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2020

#### Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Perryman Securities, Inc. (the "Company") is a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is <sup>a</sup> member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is considered exempt under (SEC) Rule 15c3-3, (the Customer Protection Rule), as its business activities are limited to a mutual fund retailer on an application basis, broker or dealer selling variable life insurance or annuities, private placements of securities, broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions and municipal securities transactions (529 plans) only. The Company's customers are located throughout the United States.

Marketable securities owned are carried at quoted market value. The increase or decrease in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities is credited or charged to operations.

#### Distribution Fees - Mutual Funds, Insurance and Annuity Products

The Company earns revenue for selling affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, fixed variable annuities and insurance products. The performance obligation is satisfied at the time of each individual sale. A portion of the revenue is based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to, amounts invested at the time of sale. The remaining revenue is recognized over the time the client owns the investment or holds the contract and is generally earned based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to the net asset value of the fund, or the value of insurance policy or annuity contract. The ongoing revenue is not recognized at the time of sale because it is variably constrained due to factors outside the Company's control including market volatility and client behavior (such as how long client hold their investment, insurance policy or annuity contract). The revenue will not be recognized until it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

Commissions receivable are generally collected in full in the month following their accrual. As such, management has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts on these receivables. Management records an allowance for bad debts based on a collectability review of specific accounts. Any receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance. Commissions receivable as of September 30, 2020 were \$81,272.

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent future tax return benefits and consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized in the period in which one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the more likely than not recognition threshold is satisfied; (2) the position is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation; or (3) the statute of limitations for the taxing authority to examine and challenge the position has expired. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position are derecognized in the period in which the more likely than not recognition threshold is no longer satisfied. Any potential interest and penalty associated with a tax contingency, should one arise, would be included as a component of income tax expense in the period in which the assessment arises.

Income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the respective federal and state authorities over various statutes of limitations generally three to five years from date of filing.

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

#### PERRYMAN SECURITIES. INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2020

#### Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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 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.

The Company is considered "Non-Covered Firm" exempt from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by the SEC staff. Under these exemptive provisions, the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to the Possession and Control Requirements are not required.

No statement is required regarding changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors as no subordinated liabilities existed at any time during the year.

#### Note 2 - Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income, and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities and federal agency mortgagebacked securities, which are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, the application of valuation techniques applied to similar assets and liabilities has been consistent. The fair value of all securities owned are deemed to be Level 1 investments at September 30, 2020 and for the year then ended.

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

#### PERRYMAN SECURITIES. INC. Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2020

#### Note 3 - Net Capital Requirements

Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had net capital of approximately \$154,922 and net capital requirements of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.45 to 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits a ratio of no greater than 15 to 1.

#### Note 4 - Related Party

An affiliated company has agreed by contract to furnish office space, various items of personal property, and various general and administrative services to the Company. Expenses incurred with the affiliate under this contract through September 30, 2020, were \$265,326 and are reflected in management fees. The Company and the affiliate are under common control and the existence of that control creates operating results and a financial position significantly different than if the companies were autonomous.

#### Note 5 - Employee Benefits

The Company has a medical expense plan used to reimburse an employee who is a Participant ("Participant") in the plan for the medical care of the Participant, the Participant's spouse and dependents not otherwise reimbursed under any other plan of the Company, and to replace Participant's lost wages due to absence from work caused by occupational and non-occupational personal injuries and sickness

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report in which (1) Perryman Securities Inc. (the "Company") identified that it is considered a "Non-Covered Finn" exempt from provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3 and is filing its Exemption Report relying on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34- 70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by the SEC staff. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to conducting business activities as a mutual fund retailer on an application basis, broker or dealer selling variable life insurance or annuities, private placements of securities, broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions and municipal securities transactions (529 plans) only. (2) 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; (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.

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 the Company'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 Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
