In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quoin Capital, LLC as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of Quoin Capital, LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Quoin Capital, LLC'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 Quoin Capital, LLC 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. #### **Supplemental Information** The computation of net capital and aggregate indebtedness under rule 15c3-1 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Quoin Capital, LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Quoin Capital, LLC'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 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 computation of net capital and aggregate indebtedness under rule 15c3-1 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as Quoin Capital, LLC's auditor since 2015.

NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION** Quoin Capital, LLC, A Delaware limited liability company, established on August 24, 2004. The company is a registered broker-dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Boards and sells investments. Pursuant to its NASO membership agreement, which became effective November 17, 2005, the Company does not hold customer funds or securities and clears all securities transactions on a fully disclosed basis through its clearing agent. ### **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ### A. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. ### B. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for uncollectible accounts has been provided. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. Bad debt expense was \$0 for the year ended December 31, 2019. ### C. FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of assets are capitalized. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: | Furniture | 7 years | |-------------------------------|---------| | Office and Computer Equipment | 5 years | Depreciation commences the month following month of purchase. When properties are retired or sold, the asset values and related reserves are eliminated from the accounts and any resultant gain or loss is included in earnings. ### D. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three (3) months or less as cash. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any restricted cash. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### **QUOIN CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements** · **For The Year Ended December 31, 2019** ### **E.** VALUATION OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Company holds an investment in marketable securities. These securities are traded in highly liquid markets. They are presented at Fair Market Value. ### **F.** INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes. Instead, the members are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their share of the Company's taxable income. #### G. ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINITY IN INCOME TAXES The Management recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when they are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the partnership had no uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The partnership is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. Federal, State or local authorities for years prior to 2015, which is the standard statute of limitations look-back period. #### H. REVENUE RECOGNITION On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified, cumulative-effect approach wherein the guidance is applied only to existing contracts as of the date of initial application and to new contracts entered into thereafter. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The revenue recognition policies of the Company were not affected upon adoption of ASC 606. The Company has three primary lines of business: (i) brokerage commissions (ii) distribution fees and (iii) other fees earned. Revenue from contracts with customers subject to the guidance in ASC 606 from the Company is included within the securities commissions and fees within the Statement of Operations. Commissions and fees revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of contracted services based on a predefined contractual amount or on the trade date for trade execution services based on prevailing market prices and internal and regulatory guidelines. Brokerage commissions. 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 have been transferred to/from the customer. · {12}------------------------------------------------ ### **QUOIN CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements For The Year Ended December 31, 2019** Distribution fees. The Company enters into arrangements with managed accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that 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 amounts, 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 monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods. Other Fees Earned. The Company receives fees based upon its participation in the underwriting of fixed income securities, primarily municipal securities. The Company may either sell these securities in an initial or secondary offering, or act as an intermediary in the buying or selling of these securities on behalf of its customers. The Company will receive a fee, frequently in the form of a markup, for providing this service. The performance obligation is satisfied on the date the transaction is settled because there are no remaining tasks which are to be performed related to the service that is delivered. From time to time the Company performs other functions for the convenience of its customers. In these cases, the Company performs a simple act for which it receives a fee. The performance obligation is satisfied on the date the service is delivered because there are no remaining tasks which are to be performed related to the service that is delivered. ### I. OPERA TING LEASES On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will either be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements. # **3. FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION** Furniture, equipment and the related accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 consists of the following: | Furniture | \$
11,406 | |-------------------------------|--------------| | Computer and office equipment | . 4 942 | | Total | 16,348 | | Accumulated depreciation | (16,348) | | Net Furniture and Equipment | \$ | {13}------------------------------------------------ ### **QUOIN CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements For The Year Ended December 31, 2019** ### **4. OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS** The Company has entered into leasing arrangements for office space, which expires May 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2019 the remaining future minimum lease payments are as follows: | December 31, 2020 | 14,292 | |-------------------|--------| | December 31, 2021 | 6,005 | Rent expense incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019 was \$16,517. # **5. CONTINGENCIES** In the normal course of business there can be various claims against the Company. In the opinion of the company's management, the amount of such losses that might result from these claims, if any, would not materially affect the company's financial position. ### **6. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the net capital requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Uniform Net Capital requirements of the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 15c3-1 which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as described shall not exceed 15 to 1. Pursuant to "FINRA" Rules, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital of either \$100,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, whichever is greater. At December 31, 2018 the Company had a net capital of approximately \$410, 156 which was \$310, 156 in excess of the \$100,000 required to be maintained at that date. The Company's net capital ratio was .05 to 1. # **7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT** Management has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date for items requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. The evaluation was performed through February XX, 2020, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company has determined that there were no events which took place that would have a material impact on its financial statements. ### **9. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK** The Company maintains cash accounts, which, at times may exceed federally insured limit of \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits and management believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risks on its cash accounts. {14}------------------------------------------------ Supplementary Information {15}------------------------------------------------ ### **QUOIN CAPITAL, LLC** · · **Schedule I Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission As of December 31, 2019** ### **COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL** | Total member's equity qualified for net capital | \$ 477,049 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Add:

Quoin Capital, 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 Quoin Capital, 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 paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. wqif~ Kennett Square, Pennsylvania February 27, 2020 {20}------------------------------------------------ 19 February 2020 # Exemption Report Quoin Capital, LLC.
