In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kiski Securities LLC as of December 31, 2022, 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 Kiski Securities LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Kiski Securities 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 Kiski Securities 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. #### **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Schedule I" ) and Schedule II, Statement Regarding Reserve Requirements and Possession or Control Requirements ("Schedule II" ) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Kiski Securities LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Kiski Securities 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 supplemental information contained in Schedule I and Schedule II is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS** Kiski Securities, LLC (the "Company') was incorporated in Delaware in 2011. The Company is a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, Inc. (SIPC). The Company's office is located in New York, New York. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kiski Group, Inc. (the "Parent"), a Delaware corporation. The Company is considered a Non-Covered Firm exempt from 17 C.F.R. § 240.1 Sc-3- 3 relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to the private placement of securities on a best effort basis, broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions, referral fee for introduction of potential investors to transactions managed by other broker-dealers, and wholesale investment funds to other broker-dealers. ### **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ### **Basis of Presentation** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises raising capital for hedge funds via private placements and assisting a Qualified Institutional buyer and a fund manager in forming a new investment vehicle. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company has evaluated events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, and through February 6, 2023, the date the report was available to be issued. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022. {9}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2022** #### **Use of Estimates** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the 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. ### **Going Concern** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently dependent on its Parent to fund its ongoing operations as the Company has not yet generated sufficient revenue. The Parent intends to provide additional financing through direct contributions of capital until positive cash flows are generated. The Parent is not contractually obligated to continue to provide support. #### **Revenue from Contracts with Customers** **Performance Obligations:** Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services. **Private Placement:** Performance obligations in these arrangements vary dependent on the contract, but are typically satisfied upon completion of the arrangement. Placement fees are recognized upon completion of a deal and are generally classified as Commission Income. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2022** #### **Income Tax** The Company is treated as a flow-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, the net taxable income of the Company and any related tax credits, for federal income tax purposes, are deemed to pass to the Parent and are included in the Parent's tax returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not actually have been distributed. Accordingly, no tax provision has been made in the financial statements since the income tax is an obligation of the parent. The Company is subject to state income tax. The Company has not recorded provisions for estimated New York margin taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022, as they are insignificant. The Company recognizes and measures any unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, "Income Taxes". Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes there are no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. ### **3. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the SEC uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3-1), 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 (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 1). At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$29,836 which was \$24,836 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 0 to 1 for December 31, 2022. Capital contributions and distributions to the members can be made under a capital policy approved by the Company's member. Periodic contributions and/or distributions approved by the member may be made in order to enable the member to effectively manage the Company. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2022** ### **4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK** The Company is engaged in brokerage activities in which it engages in investment activities with limited partnerships and limited liability companies throughout the United States. In the event the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counter-party. The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash. The Company places its cash with one high credit quality institution. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk related to cash. ### **5. CONTINGENCIES** In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subjected to loss contingencies arising from lawsuits. Management believes that the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of future operations. #### **6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** The Company's Parent absorbs all of the common space expense as long as Company incurs no incremental expense. The Company maintains a separate schedule and records the cost equivalent to what the costs are to operate the Company to suffice SEC 17a-4. All direct expenses are paid directly by the Company and there were no additional common space expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022. {12}------------------------------------------------ ### **Schedule I** # **Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2022** ## **COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL** | Total Member's Equity Qualified for Net Capital | \$

The Company limits its business activities exclusively to the private placement of securities on a best efforts basis, broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions, referral fee for introduction of potential investors to transactions managed by other broker-dealers, and wholesale investment funds to other broker-dealers. {15}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_15_Picture_0.jpeg) A Profes.sicrn!.I Corporation Cernfied P11Jblk Aorou:ntl.nl!l #### **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** #### **To the Managers and Member of Kiski Securities LLC** We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) Kiski Securities LLC ("the Company" ) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing the 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 (1) the private placement of securities on a best efforts basis, (2) broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions, (3) referral fee for introduction of potential investors to transactions managed by other broker-dealers, and (4) wholesale investment funds to other broker-dealers. In addition, the Company 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 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year, December 31, 2022, without exception. Kiski Securities LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the Non-Covered Firm Provision 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 Kiski Securities 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 upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
