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

To the Members of Oasis Pro Markets LLC

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Oasis Pro Markets LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

 

 

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

# **1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

Oasis Pro Markets LLC (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA).

The Company's ownership is 99% owned by Oasis Pro, Inc. and 1% owned by KTTB LLC, and a new operating agreement was executed pursuant to the new structure. The current ownership structure was approved by FINRA in August 2019. The Company intends to operate an Alternative Trading System (ATS) platform that matches buyers and sellers (on an agency basis) of registered and unregistered exempt securities that may be represented on a blockchain in digital form; as well as over-the-counter ("OTC") corporate equity and debt securities.

# **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

# *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

# *Cash*

For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturity date of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

# *Income taxes*

The Company's taxable income is reported by the individual members and therefore, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

# *Uncertain tax positions*

The Company recognizes and measures its 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 or liabilities is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. The Company has concluded that no tax benefits or liabilities are required to be recognized.

## **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(continued)*

### *Revenue Recognition*

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC Topic 606") revenues from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over 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 service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any.

Revenues from investment banking services are recognized when the transaction is signed, or the closing is imminent. Non-refundable retainers are recognized as revenue in accordance with the terms of the contract and are applied against transaction fees upon closing, if applicable.

# *Credit Losses*

The Company recognizes and measures credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer).

# *Leases*

The Company accounts for lease agreements in accordance with ASC 842 Leases, which recognizes two types of leases – finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize an asset and liability balance on the statement of financial condition relating to leases with terms of more than twelve months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

Right of use assets ("ROU") represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Present value is typically computed using the Company's incremental borrowing rate because the lease implicit rate is not available.

{8}------------------------------------------------

### **3. RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITY**

The Company entered into a new lease agreement of its main office for the three years ended November 30, 2024. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company classified the lease as an operating lease. The Company has reviewed and based the right of use asset and lease liabilities, primarily, on the present value of unpaid future minimum lease payments. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has a right of use asset of \$193,567, offset by a lease liability of \$193,567 on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The present value of the existing operating lease was determined by using the incremental collateralized borrowing rate of December 1, 2021 of 4.25%.

A reconciliation of operating lease liabilities by minimum lease payments and discount amount by year, as of December 31, 2021, are as follows:

| Year<br>Ending<br>December<br>31 | Lease |         | Discount<br>Amount |        | Lease<br>Liabiliy |         |
|----------------------------------|-------|---------|--------------------|--------|-------------------|---------|
| 2022                             | \$    | 72,000  | \$                 | 6,871  | \$                | 65,129  |
| 2023                             |       | 72,000  |                    | 6,871  |                   | 65,129  |
| 2024                             |       | 66,000  |                    | 2,691  |                   | 63,309  |
|                                  | \$    | 210,000 | \$                 | 16,433 | \$                | 193,567 |

# **4. CONTINGENCIES**

The Company evaluates contingencies on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2021, the Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities that could have a subsequent material adverse effect on the results of operations.

# **5. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN**

Effective September 29, 2021, Oasis Pro Inc. ("Parent"), entered into an employment agreement with the officers of the Company which granted the officers stock options to purchase shares of common stock of the Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Parent granted 360,432 shares to the officers with a strike price of \$0.046 a share. The fair value of equity interest was calculated as \$0 at the effective date of the original grant. The equity grants carry an expiration of ten years after the grant date and are contingent on the officers' continuous employment with the parent and subject to the following vesting schedule:

| July 1 | Vesting Percentage |
|--------|--------------------|
| 2022   | 25%                |
| 2023   | 50%                |
| 2024   | 75%                |
| 2025   | 100%               |

### **6. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES**

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide indemnifications under certain circumstances. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. The Company expects the risk of future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

To date COVID-19 global pandemic has not materially impacted the Company's day-to-day operations. However, continuing uncertainty with respect to global economic activity may negatively impact the Company's revenue opportunities.

# **7. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the uniform net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended, which requires the Company to maintain, at all times, sufficient liquid assets to cover indebtedness. In accordance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain defined minimum net capital of the greater of \$250,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$3,220,501, which exceeded the required minimum net capital of \$250,000 by \$2,970,501. Aggregate indebtedness at December 31, 2021 totaled \$245,103. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 7.61%.

# **8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Management of the Company has evaluated events and transactions that may have occurred since December 31, 2021 and through date of issuance and determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in the Company's financial statements.
