## Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Member of Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations and member's capital and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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. 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 include 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.

## NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING

The accompanying notes arc an integral part of the financial statements.

{9}------------------------------------------------

## **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:**

## Business and operations

Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC (the Company) is a limited liability company organized in the State of Texas, on March 5, 2003 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitchell Energy Partners, LLC (the Parent). The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is engaged in the private placement of debt and equity securities, principally in the oil and gas industry, as well as providing advisory services for mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance.

## Management 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.

## Cash and cash flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution. At December 31, 2020, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provided insurance coverage of up to \$250,000, per depositor, per institution. At December 31, 2020, the Company's cash was not in excess of federally insured limits.

#### Accounts Receivable

Receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Payments on trade receivables are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Management reviews trade receivables periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amount that may or may not be collectible. As of December 31, 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

#### Furniture,fixtures and equipment

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment being provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over estimated useful lives of five to seven years and using accelerated methods for tax reporting purposes.

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

## Revenue recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment 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 the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company earns fees and commissions in connection with the placement and advisory services it provides and recognizes revenue when the Company has completed its contractual obligations and collection is reasonably assured.

#### Client concentrations

For the year ended December 31, 2020, three clients represented 38%, 30%, and 12% of the Company's total revenues.

#### Fair value of financial instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, *Financial Instruments*, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2020, nor gains or losses reported in the statement of operations and member's capital that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held during the year ended December 31, 2020.

#### Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

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

## Recent accounting pronouncements

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and through March 1, 2021, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

#### Subsequent events

In preparing the financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Company's management, events that have occurred after December 31, 2020, up until the issuance of the financial statements, which occurred on March 1, 2021.

## **2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:**

#### Operating lease

The Company leases its office space under the terms of an operating lease, which expires on August 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, rent expense totaled \$92,522 and included maintenance, and other costs as required by the Company's lease.

| Year<br>ending  |        |        |  |
|-----------------|--------|--------|--|
| December<br>31, | Amount |        |  |
| 2021            |        | 51,781 |  |
| Total           | \$     | 51,781 |  |

In preparing the financial statements, the Company's management has reviewed its contractual obligations, as they relate to the Company's continued operations, and is not aware of any commitment, contingency or guarantee nor any claim to which the Company is subject to that could result in a material loss or future obligation to the Company.

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

## **3. INCOME TAXES:**

The Company is organized as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes because the Company does not incur federal income tax liabilities. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the Member's income tax return and are taxed based on the Parent's income tax rate. Similarly, the financial statements do not include a provision for Texas franchise taxes because they are included in the Parent's Texas franchise tax return.

## **4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:**

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no related party transactions.

## **5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 <sup>1</sup> (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to <sup>1</sup> ). At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with \$217 of aggregate indebtedness and net capital of \$92,050.

## **6. RULE 15c3-3 EXEMPTION:**

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 receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients, and the Company, (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; (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.

## **7. NOTE Payable**

On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note ("PPP Loan") with a principal balance of \$50,563 with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relieve and Economic Security Act (The "CARES Act"). The PPP Loan has a maturity date of April 27, 2022 with an annual interest rate of 1% and can be forgiven without interest if the loan is paid within the first ten months of receiving the loan. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available based on the Company's expenditures for qualified expenses during a 24-week period beginning with the loan approval. The Company's loan was forgiven on October 9, 2020. At December 31,2020, the Company had no PPP loan balance.

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note ("PPP Loan") with a principal balance of \$48,000 with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relieve and Economic Security Act (The "CARES Act"). The PPP Loan has a maturity date of February 22, 2026 with an annual interest rate of <sup>1</sup> % and can be forgiven without interest if the loan is paid within the first ten months of receiving the loan. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available based on the Company's expenditures for qualified expenses during a 24-week period beginning with the loan approval.

## Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Member of Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC Dallas, Texas

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC Exemption Report, in which ( 1) Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3 and (2) Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC is filing an 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: ( <sup>1</sup> ) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients and the Company ( <sup>1</sup> ) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (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. Mitchell Energy Advisors, LLC 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 Mitchell Energy Advisors, 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 in Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073.
